Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!
Chapter 42 Going to the beach during a typhoon?
The gale-force winds, accompanied by torrential rain, pounded on the roof of the old house.
The tiles were being blown around with a "whoosh," as if they might be blown away at any moment.
The water in the yard was already above ankle level, and it kept seeping into the main room through the gaps in the threshold.
The typhoon showed no signs of abating throughout the next day.
The whole family was trapped inside the house and couldn't even get out the door.
The main room was dimly lit.
Wang Feng moved a small stool and sat by the door, holding a rag in her hand, occasionally plugging the water in the cracks of the door.
Her brows furrowed into a knot, and her mouth never stopped moving.
"Oh dear, with such strong winds, all those blue crabs on the mudflats must have been swept away."
"The ground was covered in money last night; you could just bend down and find it everywhere."
"If we had left half an hour later, we could have collected at least another sackful. How much money would that have been?"
Wu Gang squatted in the corner, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand, and sighed as he looked out the window.
"Alright, that's enough. The wind was really weird last night. If we had left half an hour later, we might have been swept into the sea and fed to the fish. No matter how much money you have, you still need to be alive to spend it."
"I'm just feeling sorry for myself," Wang Feng glared at Wu Gang. "Do you think money grows on trees?"
Su Yu lay sprawled out on a bamboo recliner, staring blankly at the ceiling.
This money just came from a blizzard, didn't it?
Without this typhoon, there wouldn't be so many crabs!
However, he had never experienced such a situation where it was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside, and he was completely listless.
In contrast, Wu Sui was not in a hurry at all.
He sat at the octagonal table, holding a few thin bamboo strips in his hand, weaving grasshoppers for Ya Ya and Xiao Hu.
"Second Uncle, I want a big one." Little Tiger leaned over the table, his eyes sparkling.
"Okay, I'll make one with long legs for you."
Wu Sui's fingers flew across the paper, and in a few swift movements, he created a lifelike grasshopper, which he then handed to Xiao Hu.
Ya Ya sat in Chen Xue's arms, clutching a smaller one in her hand, giggling.
Looking at his wife and children, Wu Sui felt very at ease.
Since it's a typhoon and we can't go out to sea, it's a good time to stay home and rest.
Anyway, he has money in his hands now, so he's not worried.
We made it to the morning of the third day.
The rain was still falling, with large raindrops splashing in the puddles and creating ripples, but the wind outside had noticeably subsided.
The branches were no longer about to break as they had been yesterday, and the roar of the waves was much muffled.
Wu Sui paced back and forth in the room twice, feeling itchy to go.
His system radar had just been upgraded to a 50-meter range, and before it could really show its capabilities, the typhoon kept him stuck at home.
When a typhoon passes through, the seabed will be turned upside down.
At this time of year, the beach is absolutely full of treasures.
Wu Sui walked to the door, looked at the sky, and turned to look at Wu Gang.
"Big brother, the wind's died down, shall we go for a walk on the beach?"
Wu Gang was stunned, and almost dropped the cigarette in his hand.
Before Wu Gang could even speak, Wang Feng immediately erupted in anger.
She straightened her back, nearly slapping the rag in her hand at Wu Sui's face, and started cursing as she pointed at his nose.
"Second brother, have you lost your mind?"
Wang Feng's voice was so loud it could drown out the sound of the rain outside.
"Going to the beach during a typhoon? Do you think you have enough heads for the King of Hell to take you?"
"Are you out of your mind? Your wife and Yaya need someone to support them. Are you trying to do something reckless again?"
Chen Xue, who was standing nearby, was startled and quickly tugged at Wu Sui's sleeve, trying to dissuade him in a low voice.
"Ah Sui, your sister-in-law is right. It's too dangerous to go to the beach now. Let's stay home and wait for the weather to clear up."
Wu Sui blushed as he was scolded, touched his nose, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
But he was aware of the current sea conditions.
With the wind decreasing, as long as you don't go into the water, it should be fine to stroll around on the beach and along the edges of the rocks.
"Sister-in-law, don't rush to scold me," Wu Sui explained patiently.
"I won't go into the water, I'll just look around on the beach."
"The waves are big during typhoons, and everything from the seabed is swept up. The beach must be full of seafood right now."
"Let's go to the shallow water at the village entrance. If there's any danger, run immediately. We absolutely will not go into the deep water."
Wang Feng stood with her hands on her hips, refusing to budge an inch.
"Bullshit! Do you think the ocean is your washbasin? If a sea wolf comes ashore, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."
"Anyone who dares to step out of this courtyard today, I'll break their legs."
Wu Gang was caught in the middle, torn between two options.
He was also thinking about the seafood, but when Wang Feng, that tigress, unleashed her fury, he dared not talk back.
At this moment, Su Yu jumped up from the recliner.
"Sister-in-law, please let Brother Wu take me to see him!" Su Yu said excitedly. He'd been cooped up at home for days and was practically growing mold.
"I just want to see what the beach looks like after the typhoon. Don't worry, I'll be with you and make sure you don't go into the water at Angkor Wat."
Wang Feng looked at Su Yu, her imposing aura slightly weakening.
After all, he was a rich young master from the city, and he had given Wu Sui such an expensive phone, so she couldn't scold him too harshly.
"Why are you joining in this nonsense, kid? Those waves can be as high as a two-story building when they roll up..."
"Sister-in-law, you're really alright." Wu Sui pressed her advantage.
"Big brother, come along too. The three of us men will keep an eye on things from up here. If we don't see anything, we'll come right back."
Wang Feng stared at Wu Sui, her chest heaving violently.
She turned to look at Wu Gang and saw that her husband also looked eager to try, which made her grit her teeth in anger.
"Fine, fine, you two go ahead. If you get swept away by the waves, I'll pretend I never had you two brothers!"
Wang Feng angrily sat back down on the stool and turned her head away from them.
Wu Suichong and Wu Gang exchanged a glance, and the two quickly put on their raincoats and grabbed buckets and sand shovels.
Su Yu was so excited that he didn't even fasten his raincoat properly, grabbed a plastic bucket and rushed out.
Braving the wind and rain, the three of them trudged towards the beach at the village entrance.
The closer you get to the sea, the stronger the fishy smell becomes.
Although the wind had subsided, the waves remained turbulent, with murky seawater constantly crashing against the rocks, splashing up large amounts of white foam.
As soon as he reached the edge of the beach, Su Yu let out a strange cry.
"Holy crap, Angkor, look!"
Wu Sui and Wu Gang looked in the direction Su Yu pointed and immediately gasped.
The once smooth beach is now a mess.
Everywhere there were seaweed and coral washed ashore by the waves, broken branches, and all sorts of other miscellaneous debris.
But this is not the point.
The key point is that among those seaweed and puddles, there were countless dark, plump things lying in dense clusters.
"Sea cucumbers, it's all sea cucumbers!"
Wu Gang's voice changed, and he threw down his sand shovel and pounced on it.
On the beach, vast stretches of wild black sea cucumbers were pushed ashore by the waves.
Some were still wriggling, while others were already entangled in seaweed.
They are all quite large, each weighing about 500 grams.
"We're rich! We're rich!"
Su Yu was so excited that he shouted and scrambled onto the beach, grabbed two sea cucumbers and threw them into the bucket.
