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

Wu Sui waded through the puddles, the rain stinging her face.

The dark figure ahead darted about on the breakwater, clearly familiar with the terrain.

"Stop right there!" Wu Sui roared.

The dark figure ignored him completely and ran headlong towards the rocky beach at the end of the breakwater.

Once you dive into the rocky beach, even a god couldn't find you in the dead of night.

Wu Sui gritted his teeth, quickened his pace, and in a leap, grabbed the man's raincoat.

With a "rip," the raincoat was torn open, leaving a large hole.

The man slipped and fell on the stone slab.

Wu Sui strode over, stepped on the man's back, and shone the flashlight directly into the man's face.

Under the beam of light, a face covered in mud and terrified was revealed.

"Li Daqiang?" Wu Sui sneered. "I thought it was some water ghost, but it turns out to be you, you bastard."

Li Daqiang was blinded by the bright light and couldn't open his eyes. When he heard Wu Sui's voice, he panicked, but a fierce determination immediately surged up within him.

If word gets out today, he'll never be able to hold his head up in the village again, and he might even end up in jail.

"Old Wu, it's all your fault! You made me spend so much money repairing the boat."

Li Daqiang's eyes turned red. He suddenly rolled over and stabbed the knife in his hand towards Wu Sui's thigh.

This attack was swift and ruthless, clearly aimed at crippling the person.

Seeing his frenzied state, Wu Sui quickly took a step back to avoid him.

"Damn, I thought you were something special, you're so ungrateful."

Wu Sui's face darkened, and a murderous intent arose within him.

Seeing that his first attack missed, Li Daqiang brandished his knife and lunged forward again.

"If it weren't for you, my boat wouldn't have crashed, and I would have had to compensate Chen Fugui for his boat. I'll kill you."

Wu Sui dodged to the side, then bent down and grabbed a stone next to the breakwater that was used to weigh down fishing nets.

Li Daqiang continued charging forward, wildly swinging the knife in his hand.

Wu Sui seized the opportunity and slammed down hard on Li Daqiang's wrist, which was holding the knife.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones breaking could still be clearly heard amidst the raging wind and rain.

"Ah!" Li Daqiang let out a pig-like scream, and the knife in his hand clattered to the ground.

He clutched his wrist, writhing on the ground in pain, tears and snot streaming down his face with the rain.

"Second brother?" Wu Gang finally came running over, panting, holding a wooden stick in his hand.

He stared, stunned, at the person rolling on the ground.

"Who...who is this?"

"Li Daqiang." Wu Sui threw the stone in his hand into the sea and patted the mud off his hands.

"Him? He cut our cable?" Wu Gang was so angry that he trembled all over and raised his wooden stick to hit him.

The collision incident was always caused by Chen Fugui and his father leading the trouble.

Wu Gang thought Li Daqiang was just jealous and that's why he followed his boat.

But now it seems that a dog that bites doesn't bark; that's the real mad dog.

Cutting the mooring lines during a typhoon is an attempt to destroy their ship.

Li Daqiang was writhing on the ground in pain. When he saw Wu Gang approaching with a stick, he was terrified.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his wrist, he crawled backward using both his hands and feet.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I was wrong... Help!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.

The breakwater is already narrow, and it becomes slippery when it rains.

Li Daqiang was so focused on retreating that he didn't even realize he had already backed up to the edge.

"Selene's mother..." Wu Sui ignored his pleas for mercy, looked at the rolling waves behind him, and leaned forward.

Li Daqiang was so frightened that he took a few steps back, lost his footing, and fell backward onto his back.

"what……"

The waves crashed over him and instantly swallowed him up.

Wu Gang was startled and quickly rushed to the edge of the breakwater, shining his flashlight down.

Below, there was nothing but rolling waves and dark seawater.

Li Daqiang disappeared without even making a sound.

"Second brother... he fell down!"

Wu Gang's face turned ashen, and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground.

Although he was angry, he also knew that human life was at stake.

With such strong winds and waves, falling in would definitely mean certain death.

"What happened?"

"Who's calling for help?"

Li Daqiang's pig-like screams, coupled with Wu Gang's roar, attracted all the villagers who were reinforcing their fishing boats at the dock.

Seven or eight men wearing raincoats and carrying flashlights trudged over, their steps uneven.

The one leading the group was Uncle Chen from next door, who asked anxiously.

"Ah Sui, Da Gang, what happened? I think someone fell down?"

Wu Gang's lips trembled, and he was about to speak when he said, "Yes..."

Wu Sui grabbed Wu Gang's arm and squeezed it hard, interrupting him.

"Uncle Chen, we don't know where this thief came from!" Wu Sui shouted.

"This thief was sneaking around cutting our cable, and my brother and I caught him red-handed."

"He was feeling guilty, and he was running too fast, so he slipped and fell."

"What? Cut the cable?" Uncle Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

The other villagers were also in an uproar.

"That damned bastard, cutting someone's cable in this weather, isn't that suicidal?"

"Pah! Serves you right for falling."

Despite their complaints, everyone quickly grabbed their flashlights and shone them into the sea.

Seven or eight beams of light swept across the sea surface.

The wind howled, and wave after wave crashed against the breakwater, splashing up a cloud of water mist.

Let alone a person, even a cow that fell in would have been swept into the deep sea by now.

"The waves are too big; there's no way to save them."

"Who would dare go into the water? Going into the water is suicide."

They shone their flashlights for a long time but found nothing, and could only worry anxiously.

Wu Sui pulled Wu Gang aside, away from the villagers' sight.

"Big brother, go to the village committee right now and find the village chief." Wu Sui lowered his voice and spoke very quickly.

Still somewhat shaken, Wu Gang stammered, "Why...why do I need to see the village chief? To report a crime?"

"Why report it? The thief fell down on his own, what does it have to do with us?"

Wu Sui stared into Wu Gang's eyes and said, "Remember this: go and call Chen Changgui to bring some men. Tell them that thieves broke into the dock and cut the cable, causing it to fall into the sea."

"Don't mention Li Daqiang's name. Just say it was too dark and you couldn't see his face clearly."

"But..." Wu Gang swallowed hard, "we clearly recognized him."

"Big brother!" Wu Sui emphasized, "Remember, he fell down by himself. We didn't see him clearly."

Wu Gang was slow-witted and stared blankly at the five-year-old, but he took what was said to heart.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go get the village chief right away."

He nodded emphatically, then turned and ran towards the village.

Wu Sui watched Wu Gang run away, then turned and walked back to the villagers.

"Uncle Chen, uncles and brothers!" Wu Sui shouted at the top of his lungs.

The villagers all turned to look at him.

"The thief has fallen into the sea, and we can't save him now. Let's wait for the rescue team."

"The waves are getting bigger and bigger; the typhoon might make landfall soon!" Wu Sui pointed to the fishing boats on the dock.

"He was cutting my mooring lines just now, and he might have messed with your boat too."

"Everyone, hurry back and check your own mooring lines. Secure the boats first; keeping our livelihoods is the most important thing!"

Wu Sui's words hit the villagers' weak spot.

Although human life is of paramount importance, in the eyes of these fishermen, their own fishing boats are their true lifeline.

If the boat is swept away by the wind and waves, the whole family will starve.

"Ah Sui is right, let's go check on the boat."

"Serene's mother, if he dares to touch my ship, I'll skin him alive."

The villagers immediately scattered, grabbed flashlights, and ran back to their berths to carefully inspect the mooring lines and reinforce the boats.
