Chapter 296: Fell Ill

~11 min read 2,070 words

It drizzled again at night, and it was windy. Originally, I thought the fishing net was broken, so it didn't matter, and I could put longline fishing, but now I couldn't go.

There is also a lot of rain in spring, and he estimated that he shouldn't be able to go a few times in these two months.

It just happened to be what Ye Yaodong wanted.

Early the next morning, just as he walked out of the house, he saw Aunt Lan holding a large piece of nylon bag, walking to the side of the homestead, covering the sand and soil, so as not to be washed away by the rain.

He greeted curiously and asked, "Aunt Lan, was Uncle found yesterday?"

"Found, those damn pirates threw the boat at the pier, and the people were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen and they couldn't get up. They still couldn't get out of bed today." Aunt Lan scolded while talking, feeling indignant.

"Avoid big boats in advance next time. The villages around us are all familiar, it's fine. People in other villages are not so reasonable."

"It's still that the boat is small. If the boat is big, who is afraid of them? They can beat them to death, and they can be bullied every day."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, where is the fist big and who speaks.

"Sigh, don't say it, still have to go back to take care of it."

Originally thought it had nothing to do with him, just listen to it as news, but didn't expect that before a few days passed, the feng shui took turns, and he was encountered when he went to sea.

Still that familiar sea area, just don't know which boat it is.

Father and son saw a big boat coming in their direction, the boat looked bigger than theirs, so they ran away hurriedly. Fortunately, they just collected the longline fishing and didn't drag the net, so they could run faster.

The big boat behind kept chasing, making Ye Father jump his feet, "Unlucky, how did we encounter it, a good big boat, it's better to go to the far sea for a few days to collect goods."

"Maybe it happened to be encountered on the return journey, intending to harvest a wave, not wasting it? Can you see which boat it is?"

"Don't know, too far away, you drive faster, our horsepower is not as big as his, have to think of a way, otherwise it will be caught up in a while."

"The sea is empty, what can be done?" Ye Yaodong frowned, also a bit worried, and looked back from time to time.

Running like this is not a way, have to shake off that boat, otherwise it will be caught up in a while.

"Look around to see if there are any familiar fishing boats?"

Two fishing boats one after another, the stern of the boat brought up a long water wave, one running and one chasing.

He ran around the surrounding sea area several times. Obviously, he could see fishing boats working in this area before, but today I don't know what happened, he didn't see a boat after running for a long distance.

Otherwise, if there is a familiar one, he can unite.

Watching the big boat behind chasing closely, his palms were also sweating, he could only speed up as much as possible, but the distance was still shortened little by little.

He could clearly see five or six people on the fishing boat. If he was caught up by the other boat, losing a little goods is fine, but the machine is not, they don't have a net machine, a winch, a stable car, but there is a rolling wheel, that is what Uncle Lin kindly lent, if it is robbed, they have to compensate.

And if caught, he has to be beaten!

Damn, he is the one who beats people, how can he be beaten?

Heartbeat faster and faster, almost mentioned to his throat, in a panic, he actually circled back to the island of the oarfish.

【Speaking of which, the best book-chasing app currently available is the source-changing app, the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, install the latest version.】

Looking at the familiar small island, his eyes instantly lit up.

Reef!

That reef!

It is high tide now!

He looked at the familiar area, and sure enough, the reef that popped up a few days ago was gone!

Just confirming his guess!

It is not that the reef is rising and falling there, but because of the rise and fall of the tide.

When the tide recedes, the water level drops, and the reef is naturally exposed. When the tide rises, the water level rises, and the reef is submerged.

This time the opportunity for self-rescue is here!

His heart instantly relaxed.

He remembered the position of that reef, he drove the boat, looked at the fishing boat behind him, and his mouth grinned with a big smile.

"Dongzi?" Ye Father looked at his abnormal smile, thinking he was scared stupid.

"It's okay, look at me."

He turned the boat direction badly, rushed towards the reef direction, and shifted a bit when he was about to approach, and then drove the boat to the front of the reef.

The big boat behind didn't know why he circled, originally thought he was going to turn, and intended to follow, but saw him straighten back, so he added horsepower to chase up.

"Bang!"

Ye Yaodong kept paying attention to the rear. The sound of the diesel engine was too loud, and he was too far away, so he didn't hear the loud noise made by the boat bottom

"Okay."

The family was having a lively meal when, unexpectedly, a knock sounded at the door again. Both husband and wife became alert; they felt like they were on edge at every little thing lately.

"Dongzi, the old lady is sick and is currently on an IV drip."

Ye Yaodong was shocked and immediately set down his bowl and chopsticks, hurrying to open the door and go out. "What's going on? Why is she sick? Did she catch a cold?"

Ye Yaopeng said as he walked, "I ran into Dad going to the health clinic to call someone when I went to buy angelica just now, so I hurried back to tell you. They said that this morning, the eldest uncle came over, crying and snotting, saying that the eldest cousin had been sentenced to 6 years and the second cousin to a year and a half. The old lady's mood took a turn for the worse on the spot."

"Damn it, don't they know the old lady is old and can't handle such a shock? They should have known to keep it from her..."

They had been arrested for nearly three months. Now, during the 'Strike Hard' campaign, it was about time for sentencing; it was meant to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Who knows? The eldest uncle has never been reliable. With both sons in trouble, he must have lost his backbone, right?"

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be too. His own mind isn't straight, so the two sons he raised both wanted to take shortcuts..."

"I don't know how the old lady is doing. She's at such an age, and even now, she still has to worry about her children and grandchildren..."

The three brothers talked as they walked, all very dissatisfied with the eldest uncle.

When they arrived at the old house, they happened to see the village doctor coming out of the room, and the three of them immediately surrounded him to ask.

"It doesn't look like anything serious. It should be that she fell ill from mental shock. Let her hang two bottles of glucose and see."

Ye Yaodong looked at him with distrust, "Just hanging glucose?"

"The old lady has always been in good health. Once she gets over this, there shouldn't be any major issues. Let her hang it for two days first and see."

Barefoot doctor!

He muttered in his heart and went straight into the room. Asking this barefoot doctor was not as good as seeing for himself.

Only Ye's father and mother were in the room. The old lady lay there with her eyes closed, her face pale and bloodless. A floor-standing coat rack stood by the bed, with a glass bottle hanging from it, and an IV needle inserted into her hand. Her face looked even older than before, which was heartbreaking to see.

"How is the old lady? What happened?" He looked at Ye's father and asked in a low voice.

"She's awake, but she's distressed."

Ye's mother added, "This morning, your eldest uncle told her about your two cousins. The two of them cried together. After they were persuaded to stop, she went back to her room and didn't come out. When we called her for lunch, she couldn't get up. Your father was worried, so he went to call the doctor to come and take a look."

"She was fine, why tell the old lady? Her spirits had just started to look a bit better during this time..."

"Is Dongzi here?" At this moment, the old lady heard a familiar voice and turned her head to look.

Ye Yaodong immediately sat by the bed, "Hey, it's me, I'm here. How are you? Is there anything uncomfortable? The village doctor's skills aren't good. If you're uncomfortable anywhere, you have to say it, otherwise, we'll go to the county to see a doctor."

"Don't go to all that trouble. I'm fine, just feeling chest tightness and no strength in my body. You don't need to be so troublesome, I'll be fine after lying down for two days..."

The old lady's opened eyes were still bloodshot, and there were tears in them, which was heartbreaking to see.

Ye Yaodong cursed the eldest uncle's family again in his heart; they really were harming others and themselves.

"You have to get your health back quickly. The two children at home are running wild all day, and Aqing can't keep up with them now. You have to get up and help me watch the kids. In another month or so, you'll have to hold your great-grandson, otherwise, I won't be able to handle it."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately became a bit more spirited and said with a smile, "Let your mother go over more often to help watch them, or you can bring the two of them over to stay at the old house for a while. I'll be fine in two days. Boys are just mischievous..."

"Right, so you have to watch the kids for me. A bunch of your great-grandchildren are already in school, and only mine are still small. You can't just ignore them."

"I won't, I won't. I'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"You lie down and rest well for two days first, otherwise you won't be able to watch the two of them. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy you some fruit later?"

"No, no, don't waste money. I won't eat it. It's cold and icy, what's so good about it? Don't spend money recklessly." When the old lady heard he wanted to buy her fruit, she became a bit anxious again.

"Then you get better quickly, and I won't buy it."

"Hey, alright... I'll be better very soon..."

Seeing her spirits improve a little, he felt more at ease.

He would go collect the ground cages later to see if there were any good fish or shrimp to keep. It rained at night, so they didn't go out to sea, but it cleared up in the morning.

"Is there any porridge, Mom? Cook some porridge, okay? Porridge is easy to digest."

"Hey, alright, I'll go cook some porridge."

"Sigh, making you all run around blindly. I'm fine, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes..."

Ye Yaodong helped her prop up the pillow so she could lean back more comfortably, "You know that, so don't worry about it. They'll be released in a few years anyway. Get your health back, and in a few years, you'll still be able to see them come back."

"I know, I'm much better now..."
