A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 383 Royal Oarfish

The government sent people to their village at noon to notify them.

The person who came to notify them was surprised to find that most of the villagers had already packed up.

Even the makeshift beds for sleeping during the refuge have been prepared.

As soon as the comrade who had given the notice left, the villagers started discussing it.

"Thanks to the village chief and the Mazu, we never expected a big typhoon to actually come."

"You don't know, Jiaojiao told Yun Linhai and the others this news."

"What? Really? Jiaojiao can predict typhoons?"

"How could that be impossible? Xiao Wu and the others all said that Jiao Jiao was brought here by a giant sea turtle. Maybe she is the Dragon King's daughter who came here to undergo her tribulation."

"Oh my, that makes sense. Jiaojiao's skills are not something an ordinary person could have."

Yun Jiao, who was still young, didn't need to worry about the situation in other villages. Once it was confirmed that a large typhoon would hit, the military region and the government got busy.

Nowadays, many fishing villages along the coast don't have very sturdy houses, so people have to be moved to safe places.

Moreover, according to Professor Sun and his colleagues' observations, the typhoon will be coming tomorrow night.

However, relocating villagers to safety is not an easy task; many people have to bring their belongings and poultry with them.

Some were even more outrageous, bringing pots, pans, and other utensils, which added a lot of work for the government.

Yun Jiao and the others were at their own home.

Their brick and tile house was still able to hold up, even though the windows were nailed shut with wooden planks.

After the adults checked the house inside and out, they waited patiently.

"I don't know how many days this typhoon will last."

"Who cares? Anyway, we've prepared enough food to last us for half a month."

"Have you notified Jiaojiao and Xiaoba's masters?"

Yun Linhe: "Don't worry, we've notified them all. Even if we didn't notify them, the government will."

Grandpa Yun nodded, then said to Yun Chenbei, "Go and bring your master here tonight, so that we can all look after each other."

Yun Chenbei nodded.

That evening, Old Mu was brought over, and Grandma Yun and the others prepared a table full of delicious dishes and drank wine.

Soon the day Yun Jiao predicted the typhoon would arrive arrived, and even though it was still daytime, everyone could clearly feel the difference in the weather that day.

"Hurry, hurry, don't linger outside. Take your children and elderly to the ancestral hall and temple as assigned yesterday."

The village chief and his team had made arrangements a day in advance.

As soon as the weather changed, everyone took their families to the ancestral hall or village temple.

Then they closed the door tightly, and to make sure it was secure, they nailed a wooden board over it.

Around 7 p.m., a torrential downpour began outside, accompanied by fierce winds.

Even inside a safe house, you can feel how strong the wind is outside.

Every now and then, there would be sounds of something hitting the door or window, which was terrifying.

"Stop looking at this, let's have some hot mackerel dumplings."

A large bowl of dumplings was brought to the table, and the people who had been standing by the window watching the typhoon immediately went back inside.

The whole family sat together, eating steaming dumplings, chatting and laughing, and the raging wind outside didn't seem so scary anymore.

"Thanks to Jiaojiao, otherwise, such a big typhoon would have suddenly appeared, and no one was prepared. The losses would have been enormous."

"The losses are minor; the key issue is people."

In the past, large typhoons were unpredictable and arrived suddenly, sweeping away countless unprepared people and causing them to lose their lives.

It's fair to say that people living by the sea have an ingrained fear of large typhoons. "Waiting like this is pointless, let's play cards."

Kids play marbles, adults play cards.

It's very dark inside now; the power's out, and we can only use candles for light.

Yun Jiao and Yun Xiao Jiu practice dancing.

For the next few days, the typhoon outside showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, it grew stronger.

The howling wind made people feel uneasy.

A week later, the commotion outside finally subsided.

"Great, the typhoon must be leaving."

Spending a whole week cooped up at home is really tough.

Why is Yun Xiaowu, who is usually the most resilient, all listless?
If they behave like this in their own homes, imagine how much worse it must be for those living together in communal living arrangements.

There are quite a few conflicts.

Fortunately, the torrential rain stopped two days later, leaving only some wind, but this had no effect on them at all.

While others were still observing and unsure whether the typhoon had completely passed, Yun Jiao could sense it.

"left."

That morning, Yunjiao shared this wonderful news with her family.

Yun Xiaowu and the other kids jumped up and cheered, even picking up Yun Jiao and tossing her up in the air.

No one doubted her.

Then, the door opened.

There was still wind outside, mixed with some rain.

But people can now stand firmly in the wind.

"Dad, should we take down the wooden planks on the window?" Yun Linhai took out a hammer.

Yun Jiao stared at the distant beach.

"Father, don't take down the windows yet. There seems to be a big guy on the beach."

"Huh? Let me see."

A group of people immediately gathered around, but their eyesight wasn't as good as Yun Jiao's, so they couldn't see clearly.

"Let's go, let's forget about the windows for now. The typhoon just passed, there must be a lot of stuff swept up from the sea, let's grab our tools and go pick it up."

"Take more sacks and net bags."

Old Man Lin also became interested and carried a bucket towards the beach.

Their primary target was naturally the thing Yun Jiao had seen.

When they saw what was on the beach, everyone gasped in shock.

“This…what is this thing!?”

Shen Yunlian's voice cracked.

The thing was long and looked like a giant python from the deep sea.

Not only are they similar in length, but they're also similar in shape!

Everyone carefully approached and circled the thing on the beach, finally drawing a conclusion.

This is a super long and extra large version of a ribbonfish that looks very similar to a ribbonfish!
"Oarfish".
