On the beach were inns that were similar to the family hotel that they had stayed in previously. In this type of place, sightseeing was convenient and all the bosses here were either experienced divers or fishermen and hence, had a deep understanding of the sea.
Therefore, for the purpose of seeking advice from them on some questions in regards to harvesting abalone, Li Du chose to stay in those inns.
Lu Guan, who was a little worried, asked, ”Aren't we a little too close to the sea? There is a huge storm coming.”
Li Du waved his hand nonchalantly and replied, ”Not a problem. Is this storm even able to blow a house down? We're just seeking shelter from the rain.”
There was another reason for him choosing to stay on the beach. According to his understanding, in order to search for food after a storm, abalones would not cling tightly to the reefs like they usually would and hence, it was more convenient to harvest them.
After renting two rooms, the four of them split into two groups before going into their rooms.
The rooms that Li Du had rented were rooms with sea views. As the inn was located on a cape that extended into the southeast corner of the sea, the scenery was fantastic and they were able to look out onto the sea by just lying in their beds.
When bringing them to their rooms, the boss said, ”You guys are lucky, this room isn't always available for rent. Truth be told, if it weren't for customers canceling their bookings due to the storm, the rooms with a sea view would have already been fully booked one month in advance.”
Seeing his three subordinates happy, Li Du smiled. ”Our luck is indeed not bad.”
Although the rooms that they had rented were relatively smaller, the rooms were situated in a prime location. In the past, the location that the inn was situated at was occupied by a lighthouse. When lighthouses had been phased out following the advancements in technology, the lighthouse was demolished and a small inn was built.
After staying in the inn, they quickly realized that rather than being pretty fortunate, they were a little silly.
The boss hadn't scam them. They were able to stay in the rooms because someone had canceled their booking. Why did they cancel? It was because the storms here were really terrifying!
With the rolling of the waves and howling of the sea breeze, the vast sea showed its magnificent side to them.
Their initial experience in the rooms was decent. However, in a gradual manner, the sea lost its magnificence and had become violent and ferocious by evening.
The sight of large and small waves crashing onto the shore one after another profoundly echoed a line in a poem: ”Violent waves crashing onto shore, lifting a thousand heaps of snow!”
With the waves crashing onto the shore in such a manner, thunderous booms could be heard and the air became extremely damp. Even though the windows were closed, they could still feel the dampness of the air.
The temperature in Australia was relatively high. Regardless of whether they were asleep or awake, they felt uncomfortable.Truthfully, they were unable to sleep as the crashing of waves onto the shore was really too loud.
This was the first time the three furry children had experienced the power of the sea. Initially, they were lying by the window and looking outside in awe with their tails tightly waged in their buttocks.
After looking for a while, Ah Ow, who was the first to pee from being frightened, hurriedly ran to find Li Du before burrowing into his embrace.
As Li Du had never experienced such extreme weather before, he was shocked at first. After sitting in front of the window with a cup of hot coffee in hand and staring blankly outside for a good while, he came back to his senses and began contemplating if he should return the rooms and go back to the city area to find another place for lodging.
After he contemplated for a while, rain started falling from the sky. Furthermore, with the winds, which were getting stronger and stronger, carrying the raindrops and banging against the window, crackling sounds could be heard and the outside was like a war zone.
The boss came over and knocked on their doors to specifically warn them, ”Young fellas, don't try to be brave. Right now, you guys must not open the windows, or else, the storm will blow you guys out!
”Also, before the storm leaves, don't go outside. I have helped you guys secure your cars by placing weights on the car seats so there won't be any problems. However, once someone goes outside, it could be problematic.”
”It's that serious?” Li Du asked, shocked. ”What if you go out to sea in this type of weather? For example, to harvest abalone, or fish, or something along those lines.”
”That's seeking death,” the boss said very firmly. ”If that's the case, I suggest that you guys borrow a hunting rifle from me and shoot yourselves in the head. At least you guys will die a little faster.”
