Chapter 1404
Hearing the sound, Ye's father also turned his head to look, instantly surprised.
"This... how did this break..."
He looked at the Buddhist beads scattered on the ground and rolling into the sea, suddenly feeling helpless and couldn't help but panic a little.
"How could the Buddhist beads break for no reason? Have you been playing with them on your wrist for too long? Did the string wear out?"
Ye Yaodong's heart was pounding. This was not a good omen.
"I don't know if the string wore out or not, but it didn't break early or late, but it broke just when I was about to board the boat and set off. This is not auspicious."
"Right, this is definitely not auspicious, we definitely can't go."
"Go to the boat and contact the other boats, let them slow down first, don't go to sea, and also tell the workers on our two boats that haven't left yet."
"Okay, I will notify them immediately. They are probably already sailing out of the port to wait outside."
After Ye's father finished speaking, he also hurried to board the boat first.
Ye Yaodong squatted down to pick up the remaining Buddhist beads on the ground first, while also pondering in his heart whether something had happened, or if it was a warning, or if it had blocked a disaster?
Does it have anything to do with Chen Jianian?
Only half of the Buddhist beads on his hand remained, and he didn't know where the other half rolled, or if they rolled into the sea.
Unable to find them, he had to give up first.
And when the workers knew they weren't leaving yet, they all ran over to ask what happened.
Ye Yaodong showed everyone the broken Buddhist beads he had picked up and said: "The Buddhist beads broke, this omen is not very good, let's not go for now."
"Is this what the old lady at home gave you? Then it's not auspicious if it breaks. This is a Buddhist bead, with many scriptures recited into it. How could it break for no reason!"
"Right, this is ominous. It's very mysterious that the Buddhist beads broke at this time. We can't not believe it."
"Brother Dong, then I don't need to go today? Do I need to call the other boats back?"
"It was fine, how could the Buddhist beads break..."
"It must be a warning, or it blocked a disaster..."
Seeing the broken Buddhist beads, the workers were even more excited than him, spitting and talking, chattering a lot.
Ye Yaodong put the Buddhist beads back in his pocket and instructed them: "You guys just wait here first. My father went to notify the other boats to come back first. Just in case, we can't go to sea today. I'll go back and make a phone call to notify them."
Incidentally, also ask about the situation at home. Does the breaking of the Buddhist beads have anything to do with home?
This was given to him by the old lady to wear for safety. Could it be that something bad happened at home?
Thinking of this, he immediately quickened his pace, quickly squeezed into the crowded crowd, and had to determine if anything happened at home first.
If something happened at home, then he definitely had to go back immediately.
Ye Yaodong walked while letting his imagination run wild, his heart always lifted. This unknown feeling made him feel particularly uncomfortable, feeling that things were out of control, and he was really worried about his family, the more he walked, the more terrified he felt in his heart.
It wasn't until he got through to the phone at home and the old lady asked about his well-being that he felt relieved.
Originally, he thought that if something really happened at home, it might be the old lady.
After all, she was indeed at this age, and the first half of the year was indeed the node when the old lady passed away in his previous life.
Now she could still ask him when he would return, and he could hear that she was in a good mood from her tone. This meant that nothing else happened at home?
"Is everything okay at home?"
"It's okay, everything is fine at home, what could happen? You have to pay more attention, wear more clothes, it's changing seasons now, maybe you have a cold, don't take it lightly just because you are young and have a good body..."
The old lady nagged again.
He said one sentence, and the old lady could say 10.
Ye Yaodong didn't feel annoyed this time, but felt quite at ease listening to it. It was good that everyone from old to young at home was fine.
"When are you coming back? Didn't you say you were coming back today? Did you set off? Where are you now that you're calling? Are you in Wenshi? Are you already in Wenshi? That's quite fast, then if you set sail now, you'll be home tonight..."
"No, how could it be that fast?"
A series of questions, he didn't even answer the first one, she had already affirmed it herself, and then continued to ask the second, third, fourth, and fifth.
Ask two more questions, and she would have to go and cook snacks for him and prepare them now.
"Then where are you? Why do you have time to call? Are you almost home? Then I'll hurry and kill the chicken, otherwise it'll be too late. Stew it for a few hours now, and you'll be able to eat it as soon as you return..."
"No, I haven't set off yet, don't worry, I'll stay for a few days when I go back."
"Why haven't you set off yet? The sun is already shining on your butt, shouldn't you have set off in the middle of the night? I thought you set off in the middle of the night and were resting at the dock somewhere now..."
The old lady chattered again about what she thought.
Ye Yaodong interrupted her, "When we set off earlier, the Buddhist beads broke, I was worried..."
The old lady's voice instantly rose, "The Buddhist beads broke? How could the Buddhist beads break? This is not auspicious..."
"Right, Dad and I both feel it's not auspicious, worried that something might happen, or there's some omen, or it blocked a disaster, so we didn't dare to go. I thought I'd make a phone call back to ask about the situation at home. If everything is fine, I'll be relieved!"
"Everything is fine at home, then don't come back today, wait a day or two. Oh, how could the Buddhist beads break for no reason? Amitabha, this is not a good thing. You wait a day or two to slow down, I'll go worship the Bodhisattva in a while, Amitabha..."
The old lady worriedly kept reciting the Buddha's name, feeling that it could dispel bad luck.
"It's good that everything is fine at home, then I won't go back today. You tell Aqing, a bunch of people are still waiting for me at the wharf, I'll hang up first, won't wait for her to come over to answer the phone."
"Okay, okay, don't come back yet, I'll tell her."
"Hmm."
"Tomorrow I'll go to the temple to ask for another string of Buddhist beads, offer them, and keep you safe. Be careful when you go out, there's nothing wrong at home..."
"Hanging up."
"Hey, if there's anything, listen to your father more, don't run around, stay for two more days, don't rush back, safety first..."
"Hmm, hanging up."
"Okay, look for another good day to come back, call in advance when the time comes..."
"Okay, hanging up."
"Hmm, pay more attention to safety when you go in and out, don't be alone, bring more people..."
Ye Yaodong shook his head helplessly.
Don't hang up yet, let her nag for a while.
But before she finished nagging, Aqing ran back to answer the phone.
He had no choice but to repeat what just happened to Aqing, and then listened to her nag about something similar to what the old lady said.
After saying enough, he hung up the phone.
"Oh my god, my head is big."
He just said that he couldn't call home for everything. With a little thing, they could take turns nagging, and nag repeatedly.
Especially those who are old, they can talk the most.
He shook his head and hurried back to the wharf.
This back and forth, plus the phone call, more than an hour had passed.
The other fishing boats were called back by his father, and the people were all standing on the shore, all squeezed together, chattering and communicating in the local dialect.
Such a huge group of them standing together, those who didn't know would think it was some gang communicating, preparing for a gang war.
It made the passing fishermen couldn't help but look sideways, and they all kept their distance to the side, fearing they would get too close to them.
Even the red armbands maintaining order at the wharf ran over to ask.
"Dongzi is back..."
"Back."
"Dongzi, your father said not to go back today? It's not auspicious."
Ye Yaodong panted, "Right, I feel it's not auspicious, I'm not going back. If you guys want to leave on time, you can leave now."
"Since you said it's not auspicious and you're not going back, we definitely can't leave either."
"Right, the Buddhist beads broke, we definitely can't leave, we are all grasshoppers on the same boat..."
A large group of people was noisy, all saying they couldn't leave.
The red armband shouted with a loudspeaker, "You group of Bai Sha gang, don't keep gathering here..."
Ye Yaodong was puzzled, "Why did it become the Bai Sha gang?"
"We have been waiting for you here in such a large group, so we attracted those people wearing red armbands. He asked what we were doing here, what kind of people this large group was, and where they were from."
"We said we were from Bai Sha Village, C City, Min Province, waiting for someone here, and didn't make trouble."
"Then they didn't leave either, just watched us here, kept talking about this group of people from Bai Sha, and kept shouting for us to leave first, and shouting and shouting it became the Bai Sha gang."
Forget it, let them call it whatever they want.
Ye Yaodong said to everyone: "Let's go back first, it doesn't look like a good omen today, let's slow down."
"Checked the calendar with my father yesterday, the 4th is also a good day, let's wait until the day after tomorrow to leave."
"Rest at home for these two days, or if you want to go shopping, go shopping again. Didn't go shopping after returning from the sea yesterday."
"Slow down for two days, set off early the day after tomorrow, stop at Wenshi to rest for a night in the evening, and continue to sail back the next morning, and arrive home on the 5th."
Everyone had no opinion after hearing it and responded one after another.
Originally, they had been discussing it for a while here.
Ye's father also told everyone that there was no good day tomorrow, and everything was not suitable, but the 4th was a good day for traveling, so slowing down for two days was just right.
When going to sea, if the fishing boat had any problems, or if problems occurred one after another, they couldn't help but think too much, preferring to slow down rather than gamble.
No one can be sure about luck.
Not to mention that the Buddhist beads themselves had great significance.
They locked the goods on the boat into the cabin first, and then a large group of people walked back again.
Three or four hundred people walked in the same direction, scaring the fishermen on the wharf to avoid them one after another, and looked at them with attention, pointing and calling them Min province people.
Everyone discussed while walking, all saying they would worship Mazu first after going back.
They had already worshipped on the boat just now.
As long as the fishing boat goes to sea, everyone must worship Mazu, and at sea, they must offer incense every day.
