Chapter 37: Panic floating in the middle of the sea

After everyone withdrew their surprised gazes, he went into the room, intending to take a shower and tidy up his tools.

"A-Qing, go cook a bowl of noodles for me. I'm going out early in a while."

"Oh."

Lin Xiuqing immediately put down the work at hand to cook noodles for him. He had already greeted her last night, and knowing he was going to the isolated island to look around and go to the sea, she naturally supported and cooperated.

The other two sisters-in-law didn't know he was going to the sea after eating early. Hearing this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes. They thought he had made progress and knew how to help with work, but who knew he would turn around and say he wanted to go out after eating...

Ye Mu originally wanted to scold him a few times, but seeing the couple, one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer, and that rebellious son had already run into the room and couldn't be seen, she had to give up and swallow it back, only muttering a few times.

After eating the noodles, Ye Yaodong carried the bucket, loaded the tools, and incidentally stuffed a sack into his pocket, then hurried toward the pier.

The women of the Ye family also began to wash rice and pick vegetables. They had to eat lunch early today and then go to the sea. The house construction was starting tomorrow, and the amount of food consumed every day would be very large. They also needed to dig more sand clams, which could also reduce some expenses later.

Everyone was busy with their own work, and no one paid attention to Ye Yaodong, not knowing he had gone out with tools for going to the sea.

When Ye Yaodong arrived at the pier with the bucket, Hearing Xiao Xiao and A-Zheng were already there.

"How come you guys are so fast?"

"How can a man say he's fast? We also just arrived a while ago. A-Guang went to drive the boat."

"Then you guys wait a moment, I'm going to buy diesel."

"You still have to buy diesel? A-Guang didn't say. I didn't bring money."

A-Zheng also touched his pocket, "I didn't bring any either..."

Ye Yaodong smiled, "It doesn't matter, I brought some. Put the bucket here, you guys watch it for me, I'm going to buy it."

A-Guang was also quite decent, not saying he was paying for the boat rental himself; otherwise, they would definitely have brought some money.

Near the pier, there was a small hut specifically for repairing machines on boats, which also sold diesel. They didn't go very far. He only bought 1 yuan worth of diesel, enough to use. If there was any left, he would treat it as a subsidy for the person.

Just after buying it, Hearing Xiao Xiao ran over and said, "Is it done? A-Guang drove the boat to the shore. Once it's bought, we'll get on the boat."

"Done, let's go."

He carried a small pot of oil and followed them onto the boat. Just as his foot stepped onto the deck, he felt it was nothing, just a little swaying, which didn't count as anything to him. His heart instantly stabilized a bit.

He handed the diesel to A-Guang and said, "Pour the diesel in. It only takes ten-plus minutes to drive to the small island, so I only bought one pot, which is enough to drive several round trips."

"Mm, enough. Let's go."

Before long, the machine made a *da-da-da* sound, and the boat slowly sailed away from the shore. Everyone sat on small stools chatting with calm expressions. Only Ye Yaodong, the closer the boat got to the middle of the sea, the paler his expression became.

Looking at the water on all four sides, with only a small boat swaying in the middle of the sea, he couldn't help but think of himself being physically exhausted, only able to let the seawater pour into his mouth and nose...

That feeling of suffocation, he thought he would be fine if he didn't think about it, but at this moment, once he was in the middle of the sea, it was hard for him not to recall it.

The day before yesterday, when he was digging oysters by the reefs on the shore, his concentration was all on the reefs, and he didn't panic even though his legs were wading in the seawater. At this moment, floating in the middle of the sea made him panic a bit.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but A-Zheng saw him sitting quietly, and his complexion didn't look good, so he couldn't help but say in surprise, "Dongzi, what's wrong with you? Damn, you wouldn't be seasick, would you?"

"No way, you're actually seasick?"

"How long has it been since we drove out, and you're too exaggerated, right? You're seasick from this?"

The other two were also extremely surprised. A person by the sea was actually seasick, and seasick just after going out to sea. If it got out, it would make people laugh their teeth off.

Ye Yaodong wiped the sweat on his forehead, "I only sat on my grandfather's boat when I was young. It's been so many years since I sat on one. Don't laugh at me. When will we dock?"

A-Guang looked at him, unable to laugh or cry. No wonder he didn't dare to go out to sea directly with his father, "Go to that isolated island opposite first. It should take ten-plus minutes. You endure it; it won't be long."

He nodded. He was just panicking severely.

The boat sailed fast on the sea, with ripples circling one after another, but he didn't dare to look at the sea level, nor did he dare to close his eyes. He could only cast his gaze toward the distant mountain peaks, but it was of no use; his face was still pale.

Ye Yaodong was also depressed. What kind of death wasn't okay, but he had to die by falling into the sea, making it so that he, a person who relied on the sea to eat from the sea, didn't know how to make a living.

Until they were close to the isolated island, his symptoms didn't get any better. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind...

"What are you doing, taking off your clothes for what?" A-Guang looked at his actions in confusion, "Swimming?"

"Are you going down to swim a few laps?" Hearing Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. This was not bad. It was hot, and it was comfortable to soak in the water, "I'll go with you too, just swim to the opposite shore."

A-Zheng also excitedly said, "I want to go down and soak too. Shall we have a competition to see who swims to the opposite shore first?"

Saying this, both of them began to take off their clothes. Only A-Guang regretted that he could only drive the boat, "When we get to the island, I also want to go down and swim a few laps."

Ye Yaodong looked at their actions, and his heart felt relieved. With them accompanying him to swim, they would definitely not drown him. Fighting poison with poison, whether he could cure his fear of the sea depended on this one move.

"You guys don't swim too fast later, remember to wait for me. Otherwise, if my legs cramp and I drown, I'll come find you in the middle of the night!"

A-Zheng rolled his eyes, "A pretty boy is just good-looking but useless!"

"A pretty boy is also something you can't envy." After speaking, seeing that he was already very close to the shore, Ye Yaodong jumped into the sea first.

Just as he entered the sea, the familiar feeling of suffocation instantly drowned him. He suddenly forgot how to swim, his mind went blank, his hands and feet thrashed wildly, and his body sank directly toward the seabed.

Hearing Xiao Xiao and A-Zheng, who were on the boat preparing to jump, saw his abnormal movements and sinking body, and were all surprised.

"Dongzi doesn't know how to swim? What's he doing?"

"Go fish him up and see!"

The two of them jumped down like dumplings into a pot, all surrounding Ye Yaodong. Seeing him still struggling with his eyes closed, but without signs of choking on water, they first directly brought him out of the water surface.

The sudden fresh air directly gave him a respite. The feeling of being saved was truly indescribably refreshing.

He opened his eyes, floating with the help of their strength. Before long, he found the feeling, and he began to move himself, and the panic in his heart dissipated a bit.

"What are you doing? Why did you sink? Are you really preparing to go see Mazu?"

"I damn it, I cramped. Just at the moment I jumped down, my leg suddenly cramped!"

Everyone: *So coincidental??? *

*God-like prediction??? *
