Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

In the middle of the night, Wu Sui suddenly sat up in bed.

The wind howled outside the window, and raindrops pounded on the roof, making a loud pattering sound.

He wiped his face and turned on the light.

Something's not right here.

Summer weather at the beach is unpredictable; it can easily turn into severe convective weather, or even an early typhoon.

Wu Sui put on trousers, grabbed a raincoat hanging on the wall, put it on, pushed open the door, and rushed out.

"Father, elder brother, get up quickly!"

Wu Sui shouted at the top of his lungs while banging on Wu Jianguo and Wu Gang's door.

"What's wrong, second brother?" Wu Gang opened his door first, wearing only a pair of shorts, and walked out rubbing his eyes.

Wu Jianguo also came out, wearing a coat and holding a pipe, his brows furrowed.

"It's the middle of the night, and it's raining so hard outside, we can't go out to sea."

"Father, elder brother, this wind is strange." Wu Sui pointed to the dark night sky outside.

"The wind is at least level eight or nine. It might be a typhoon. We need to quickly move everything in the yard and reinforce the doors and windows."

Wu Jianguo walked to the door, poked his head out to feel the wind, and his expression changed.

"It really is like this weather. It was fine for the first half of the night, but then it changed so suddenly."

"In previous years, this time of year was the most prone to accidents, with boats capsizing at sea and roofs falling off the shore."

Wu Jianguo turned and walked towards the storage room. "Eldest brother, second brother, hurry up and get some planks and nails to seal up the windows."

At this moment, Wang Feng and Chen Xue were also woken up.

Wang Feng, shuffling along in her slippers, buttoned her clothes as she walked out, her loud voice drowning out the wind and rain.

"Oh my goodness, the rain is pouring down! Is the heavens leaking a hole?"

"Sister-in-law, you and Xiaoxue shouldn't come out," Wu Sui stopped them.

"It's too windy outside. You stay inside and watch over Ya Ya and Xiao Hu. Make sure they don't run around."

Chen Xue held Ya Ya, who had been woken up, her face full of worry.

"Ah Sui, be careful!"

Don't worry.

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng immediately turned around and went to the kitchen to get a few plastic basins, just in case.

Old lady Li Cuihua, pulling the two little ones along, hid in their house.

Little Tiger's eyes lit up as he looked at the rain outside, but his grandma held him back, so he could only watch from the doorway.

Seeing that Chen Yang had also gotten up, Wu Sui told his father to go back inside, and the three of them rushed into the yard in the rain.

Wu Jianguo had a back injury and didn't want to cause them any trouble, so he stood at the door directing the work.

"Boss, bring the longline fishing rod inside!"

Wu Gang responded, bent down, picked up the fish basket, and ran into the house.

"Second brother, you two go and move the sandbags from the wall to block the entrance so the water doesn't flow back in."

The three of them worked together, braving the wind and rain for almost half an hour.

Everything in the yard was brought inside, and the flimsy windows were boarded up haphazardly. Sandbags half a meter high were piled up at the threshold.

Back in the main room, they were all soaked to the bone.

Wu Jianguo looked outside with a worried expression.

"This wind won't stop anytime soon."

Wu Sui wiped the rain off her face, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The courtyard is stable, but what about the dock?

The newly purchased 12-meter ship is still being refurbished at the shipyard, so there's no need to worry.

But the steel boat that we rented is still docked at the village wharf.

With waves of this magnitude, ships crowded together at the dock are prone to colliding with each other or even being swept away by the waves.

That boat is rented. If something happens to it, not only will we have to pay compensation, but all our subsequent plans to go to sea will be ruined.

"Big brother, come with me to the dock!" Wu Sui grabbed the raincoat he had just taken off and put it back on.

Wu Gang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.

"Damn it, the ship is still docked."

Chen Yang wanted to go too, but Wu Sui stopped him and told him to stay home and look after things.

Wu Jianguo waved his hand: "Be very careful. Don't be reckless when you get to the dock. If things get too difficult, come back immediately!"

"Know."

Wu Sui and Wu Gang, dressed neatly, pushed open the door and rushed into the torrential rain.

Just outside the village, the wind picked up.

The road was flooded and muddy.

The beam of the flashlight was very weak in the rain, only illuminating a few meters ahead.

"Second brother, this wind is too eerie."

Wu Gang shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was broken and intermittent by the wind.

"Another typhoon is probably coming."

Not far along, we encountered several villagers who were also in a hurry, all wearing raincoats and rushing towards the dock.

"Ah Sui, are you going to the pier too?"

Uncle Chen from next door shone his flashlight over and wiped the water off his face.

"Yes, Uncle, let's go check on the boat."

"This God really is cruel; I'm afraid my wooden boat won't hold up!"

Uncle Chen was so anxious that he stamped his feet and quickened his pace.

More and more people came along the way, all rushing to save their own manhood.

The sounds of wind, rain, and footsteps mingled together.

The dock was now in complete chaos.

Waves crashed against the breakwater, splashing water several meters high.

The fishing boats moored at the berths were violently rocked by the waves and collided with each other.

Many villagers were already busy at the dock, some reinforcing the mooring lines, others padding the boats with old tires to prevent collisions.

The flashlight beams swung wildly, and shouts rose and fell.

"Brother, let's sail the boat into the safe harbor."

The two of them ran over, stumbling and sinking in the mud.

A flash of white light appeared on the horizon, followed by a thunderclap.

Using the flash of lightning, Wu Sui suddenly stopped and grabbed Wu Gang's arm.

"What's wrong?" Wu Gang asked loudly.

Wu Sui didn't speak, but just stared in the direction of his own boat.

When the lightning flashed, he clearly saw a blurry figure crouching next to his boat's mooring bollard.

The man was wearing a black raincoat, his back to them, and he was holding something in his hand, pulling it back and forth on the cable.

Wu Sui's flashlight beam swept directly over.

The beam of light shone on the man.

The person seemed to be momentarily blinded by the bright light, and paused for half a second.

Although they were still more than ten meters apart, Wu Sui could see very clearly that the man was holding a gleaming knife!

That guy is cutting their cables!

In these raging storms and huge waves, if the mooring lines are cut, the twelve-meter steel boat will be swept away by the waves and crash into the breakwater or other fishing boats.

"Grass!"

Enraged, Wu Sui charged forward.

"Brother, someone's cutting our cables! Catch him!"

Wu Gang followed the beam of the flashlight and saw the man's movements clearly, which immediately enraged him.

"Selene, how dare you touch my ship!"

The dark figure heard the noise and turned to look.

The flashlight beam was too bright to see his face clearly.

All we could see was him frantically putting away his knife, scrambling to his feet, and turning to run towards the breakwater on the other side of the dock.

"stop!"

Wu Sui ran wildly in the rain, splashing water everywhere he went.

The man ran very fast and was very familiar with the terrain of the dock. In a few moments, he darted into the shadow of the breakwater and was about to climb over the breakwater and escape into the rocky beach behind it.

Wu Sui gasped for breath, gritting his teeth, the beam of his flashlight fixed on the back of the dark figure.

run?

If you get away today, I'll change my name to Wu Sui.
