Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Back to the day of the Little New Year, my family was unaware of the tornado that was hundreds of miles away.

Early in the morning in the village, Zhao Anguo stared at the cup in front of him anxiously.

"Director, why don't you go take a look outside?" Old Zhang walked around the village early in the morning. In the past few days, as the children were on winter vacation, more and more people came to the village.

Yesterday alone, 1722 new tourists arrived.

Two days ago, they also received the leaders from the province who came to inspect, and they were accompanied by General Manager Xu himself.

Seeing the situation in the village, the leaders gave high praise.

Upon hearing that the culprit had gone out to sea, Mr. Xu couldn't help but mutter something. That evening, the provincial news reported the incident in great detail, which also led to a peak in the number of local tourists in the next two days.

"Director? Director, Daguo!" Lao Zhang called several times, and Zhao Anguo finally came back to his senses, "What's the matter?"

"What's wrong with you? You look like you've lost your soul so early in the morning."

Zhao Anguo waved his hands, but after a moment he still said, "Aqin said when he left that he would come back to celebrate the New Year. It's already the New Year's Eve, and this kid didn't come back, not to mention he didn't even call me."

Lao Zhang laughed softly, "Ah Qin is so lucky, there's nothing to worry about. Maybe the harvest was so good that they couldn't help but pull a few more nets."

Zhao Anguo nodded in approval, then sighed, "Ah Qin won't let the gains from a few networks interfere with his work. I guess that's what Ah Ping meant."

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. If you're tired, go back and rest today."

"Let's go, I'll go to the hotel and take a look. I think some of the tourists are about to go out to sea."

Just as the two of them went out, they ran into Lao Luo who was running towards them. Zhao Anguo couldn't help but panic again, "Didn't you go out to sea?"

Lao Luo's face was tense. He took a few deep breaths and stopped calling the director. His voice was trembling as he said, "Just now I was notified that there is a tsunami. All ships are not allowed to go out to sea. Big country, two large ships are still at sea."

At the end of the speech, there was a tone of tears in his voice.

Like Zhao Anguo, he had two sons on the boat. If anything happened to them, he would have no descendants.

Zhao Anguo seemed to be under a spell, frozen in place, with a wooden expression on his face that did not change for more than a minute.

At this moment, his cell phone rang. He slowly reached into his pocket, trying his best to keep his hand steady and hold the phone. "Hello..."

"Daguo, I'm Old Sun. Have the tourists gone out to sea early this morning?" the voice was hurried.

"No...no."

The other side was obviously relieved. "The province and city issued a temporary notice. A 6.1-magnitude earthquake occurred on the seabed at the east end of the strait more than nautical miles away from us. The strong tremor triggered a tsunami. All tourists should stay in the hotel quickly.

I estimate that the tsunami will arrive in an hour at the latest."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Anguo, with the last bit of consciousness left, said to Lao Zhang, "Notice, all offshore projects today are cancelled. The tsunami is coming. All people working on ships and near the docks should go home, quickly."

Old Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and the color on his face quickly faded, but he did not forget the main thing.

Just like Lao Luo just now, he ran as fast as he could, as if this was not enough to vent the anger in his heart. He also didn't understand where the anger at this moment came from.

Seeing Lao Zhang leave, Zhao Anguo suddenly sat down on the ground, as if he had lost his soul.

Lao Luo wasn't in much better condition. It was hard to tell whether the water on his face was tears or sweat. He just stood there.

After Lao Zhang made some arrangements, he came back. Although he understood the horror of a tsunami, he had to comfort them, "Aqin and the others may have gone to the south. They will be fine."

Zhao Anguo shook his head with a sad face. "We all know how fast a tsunami is. It can sweep across the entire ocean in a few minutes. There is no place to hide."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and ran out. Lao Zhang was very worried and chased after him, shouting, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Anguo first ran to the dock and looked at it blankly.

"Big country, this is too dangerous, we..."

"The tide is receding, and it's receding very low." As an old fisherman, he knows that a sudden and irregular receding tide, with a large amplitude, is a sign of a tsunami.

"Daguo, let's go back to the village office first. I don't believe anything will happen to Ah Qin, even if you kill me. He is such a blessed man..."

"You go back first. I'm going to the Mazu Temple."

How could he be left alone? Lao Zhang wiped the sweat off his face and sighed deeply. For the first time, he had the urge to curse God.

He was completely confused at this moment.

Humans are emotional animals. He and Zhao Qin have become increasingly close over the past two years. His son is still an intern assistant. He dare not think that something will really happen to Qin.

Zhao Anguo’s morale would probably disappear completely in an instant when he saw what would become of the current situation in the village.

When we arrived at the Mazu Temple, the rain started to come suddenly and was particularly heavy.

Zhao Anguo was not affected at all, and he knelt down at the entrance of the temple, "Mazu, now I can only ask you to protect my family.

I, Zhao Anguo, have done bad things before. If you want to punish me, let me feed the Dragon King. My two sons are good children.

Ah Ping is being honest, Ah Qin… Ah Qin has so many people in his heart, how can he survive without him… Wow… cough cough…”

Beating his chest and wailing.

Old Zhang also felt his heart break. He wanted to pull Zhao Anguo, but the next moment he knelt down and said, "Mazu, you love Aqin the most. You won't let anything happen to him."

Feeling that the wind was getting stronger, Lao Zhang dragged Zhao Anguo into the temple.

Zhao Anguo stopped crying and just knelt in front of the Mazu statue without saying a word.

Lao Zhang knew that they couldn't drag him away no matter what, but as village cadres, the two of them couldn't keep wasting time here. With a long sigh, he left the temple.

……

Xia Rong was originally complaining to her husband at home, saying that he had promised to come back for the New Year, but he forgot everything when he got busy.

The two children were on vacation. Ayuan was doing his homework honestly, while Miaomiao was playing in the backyard.

She was just about to inform her mother that it was time for breakfast, but the next moment her wife came running over crying.

"What's going on? Who has offended you again?"

Seeing Xia Rong, Lai Bao's wife cried even harder and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Seeing this, Xia Rong tried to pull her up, but he couldn't.

"What happened at home? Tell me, I'm so worried."

"Arong, I just heard...I heard from the fishermen who came back that there was an earthquake at sea and there was a tsunami. In that case, the boats at sea will only...will only..."

She didn't say the word and burst into tears again.

Xia Rong was stunned. At this moment, Miaomiao came closer and hugged her legs, "Mother..."

Xia Rong squatted down and hugged Miaomiao in her arms, she hugged her tightly.

Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable. Although she was young, she could accurately grasp the emotions of adults. She stroked Xia Rong's tearful cheek with one hand.

"Don't cry, mother. Miaomiao will be obedient from now on and won't play in the mud anymore."

Xia Rong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stared at Lai Bao's wife with wide eyes, "Axue doesn't know, right?"

"I don't know. I came to you as soon as I got the news. Arong, you said they...they wouldn't..."

"It'll be fine." Although Xia Rong didn't believe it himself, he said it firmly at this moment, "Go back and watch over Lin Laoer's wife. Don't let her run to Aqin's house.

If Ah Xue gets pregnant, I will skin her alive."

After Xia Rong finished speaking, he glanced at his son who was standing beside him with a horrified look on his face. Ah Ping had a successor.

Axue can't have a miscarriage. No matter what, Aqin must have children.

"Mom, is it Dad and uncle..."

Xia Rong sniffed and said, "It's okay, nothing happened. Don't go to your aunt's house and talk nonsense. Do you hear me?"

Her whole face was distorted at the last sentence.
