RPAGF Chapter 448 Seafood Rain
Chapter 448 Seafood Rain
After noon, the sky suddenly changed color.
The already gray sky was torn open with a dark gash, and a moving black wall rose up at the horizon.
"Come quickly, people from all over the world!"
She suddenly realized that she couldn't leave the two children alone in a room.
He quickly pulled them back to his own room.
Wu Yuan sat on the bed, grinning.
The wind is blowing.
First came a suffocating silence, even the sound of waves crashing against the rocks disappeared.
Inside the storeroom, the hens huddled together, clucking sharply and rapidly, their wings flapping wildly, scattering bits of grass and feathers.
The screams grew louder and louder, sounding especially pitiful amidst the gaps in the howling wind.
The dairy goat tied next to the chicken coop kept circling around, its hooves frantically pounding the muddy ground, kicking up layers of soil.
The bleating was long and trembling, and the neck was stretched back with all its might, making it no less loud than the crowing of the chickens next to it.
"Oh? Big sister, did you hear that? The chickens and sheep are scared."
Sanchuan pricked up his ears and clearly heard their screams.
Xu Yiyi was dragging the table and chairs against the door. "There's no other way. I can't just bring them inside."
The air was already poorly circulated, and with their droppings, Xu Yiyi was worried that the child would get sick if they stayed in such an environment for too long.
"But what if the sheep gets scared and stops producing milk? We went to great lengths to buy this one!"
If the breast milk dries up again, Wuyuan will have nothing to drink.
"If it's gone, I'll just buy another one."
Xu Yiyi didn't take it seriously at all; she couldn't allow the children and livestock to stay in a confined environment no matter what.
Just then, the wind started to clang loudly again, and the door latch shook violently, as if it would be blown off at any moment.
Startled, she quickly dragged the wardrobe over and covered it up.
Between the sea and the sky, a hurricane wall is slowly pressing towards the coast.
Immediately afterwards, towering waves, as high as mountains, crashed against the reefs with deafening roars.
In the instant the wave crashed, countless silvery fish of all sizes and dark green shrimp were scattered out as if by an invisible giant hand, crashing onto the rugged rocky beach with a series of crackling sounds, like a seafood rain.
As a large wave recedes, a layer of half-dead seafood is spread out on the mudflats.
Another, even bigger wave rolled in, bringing with it countless crabs, shellfish, and many other seafood whose names were unknown.
In the blink of an eye, the rocky beach had been transformed into a seafood market.
In just a short while, the wind outside had become frighteningly strong, drowning out all other sounds.
Sanchuan and Sihai, two children, pressed their faces together and shouted into each other's ears with all their might, but they couldn't hear anything at all; their words were torn to shreds by the wind.
For a moment, all that remained was a strange, rumbling sound drilling into your brain, making your ears feel like they were being pricked with needles.
Xu Yiyi quickly grabbed a blanket and wrapped Wu Yuan up in it.
The child was so frightened that he burst into loud sobs, and Sanchuan and Sihai next to him hugged each other tightly.
Her heart tightened, and her eyes showed panic.
This wind is terrifying.
It was more terrifying than anything I'd encountered before.
The four siblings huddled in the corner of the bed, enduring what seemed like an eternity, until the earth-shattering roar finally receded like the tide.
An eerie silence suddenly descended upon the surroundings.
"Miss?"
When Xu Yiyi moved the cabinet, it made a sharp creaking sound, which startled Sihai, who had fallen asleep during the typhoon, awake.
"The wind has died down, everything should be fine now."
Sanchuan patted Sihai on the shoulder to comfort him, then slowly got off the bed and, together with his older sister, moved all the things that were pressing down on the doors and windows.
Xu Yi carefully pushed open the door, and a gust of damp, cold wind rushed in.
As soon as I stepped out of the house, I froze on the spot.
Half of the stone wall on the east side had collapsed, and broken bricks and mud were scattered all over the ground.
The gate to the courtyard had once again vanished, leaving only a hole.
As far as the eye could see, the courtyard was filled with broken branches and tiles, mixed with mud and water, and was in a complete mess.
"Yi-yi? Is everything alright at home?"
Ah Da, wearing a raincoat, ran over in the heavy rain to see.
"It's okay, only half of the wall is missing."
The roof didn't collapse, but a lot of tiles fell down.
We can repair it again once the rain stops.
"Uncle, is everything alright at home?"
As Xu Yi spoke, he opened Er'er's house to take a look, and found that the roof of her house had the most fallen tiles.
It started raining then, and the rainwater poured in, soaking the floor.
No sooner had I asked than I heard Grandma Yin and Aunt Lan next door cursing at each other.
"Damn it, how many hurricanes have we had this year? Are we even allowed to live like this anymore...?"
Xu Yiyi paused, and Ah Yin and Ah Nai even cursed the heavens, which showed how heavy the losses were!
Following his mother's scolding, Ah Da forced a bitter smile.
This time, the losses were truly devastating.
The houses were mostly destroyed, and coincidentally, the wind blew through the boat that was hidden inside the stone house.
The ground in the yard was completely torn up.
More importantly, the day to pay the autumn tax is fast approaching.
He doesn't know how he could possibly come up with such a large sum of money.
His lips twitched, and he forced a smile once more.
"It's good that you're alright. I'll go home and get busy now. Just let me know if you need anything."
After saying that, Ah Da waded back through the ankle-deep rain.
"Big sister, Uncle looks so sad!"
Sanchuan stood under the eaves, holding a wooden basin, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Her eyes were watery, as if she couldn't hold back her tears.
Xu Yiyi searched for everything in the house that could hold water.
Wooden basins, earthenware urns, clay pots, and even a few large bowls.
She moved back and forth in the house, deftly placing them in the leaky areas.
Rainwater dripped down through the holes in the roof, initially in two or three spots, but later it became seven or eight thin lines.
"It's okay, everything will be alright."
Xu Yiyi rubbed Sanchuan's head, wanting to go out and take a look, but she was very worried about the three children at home.
After thinking about it, I put on the raincoat.
Unfortunately, he was stopped before he could even leave the house.
"Where are you going now? I knew you wouldn't be honest."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Pinghai appeared in the courtyard wearing a straw raincoat.
His trouser legs were pulled up really high, and when he stepped into the water, they made a splashing sound.
"Uncle? Is everything alright at home? How are your great-grandparents?"
Xu Yiyi's tone was somewhat urgent as she quickly pulled the person up.
“I know you’re worried. As soon as the wind died down a little, your great-grandfather sent me to come and check on things.”
Xu Pinghai looked around. Fortunately, Xu Yi's family was on a big slope.
The losses suffered were relatively small.
"Grandpa and Grandma are both fine, but their situation is a bit worse than yours. The roof of Honglian's house was completely blown off."
Xu Pinghai sighed helplessly and left in a hurry after saying only a few words.
On the way here, I saw many families busy repairing their houses.
Especially the dozen or so households at the bottom of the slope were all flooded by the sea.
