In the dark of night, a stor

The violent waves fro to destroy and devastate the land with each wave A floating orange colored balloon is being tossed about violently by the winds, signifying that a hurricane is at hand Even the sturdy pole, which the balloon is tied to, is rattling so heavily, that it seeh it would break at any second

Although the terrible weather is not common in this remote port of Si Qiao, it happens 3-5 times a year That hy the residents were not alarhted lantern, while enjoying abasins to collect any water leaking from the roof Everytime this happens, the blankets will also beco them, moistness could be felt

Under this at within a tattered shack on the west of Si Qiao town Within the shack was a mess of discarded rubber tires – the poor people can roup of 10 excited dark skinned fisherathered around the fire They were all approxist therey and his handsome features concealed a hidden sorrow underneath One look was enough to tell that this was a person who had submitted to his fate

“Aiya, Aiya, today’s happenings, Sanzi’s move has its merits, but Sheyan’s move is definitely the best!”

The one speaking with rude hand gestures and spitting uncontrolled saliva, was a youth with a facial scar called Gao Qiang However, it seewith admiration at the youth

Another youngh he had an occasional arrogant look on his face, his gaze re onto a broken bowl The bowl contained scalding hot water, which required hi Sheyan hu any sound, as he nodded his head in gratitude and continued drinking his water

“Sheyan‘s move is naturally undisputable, but I stabbed it nine ti in his pri his hands frantically

“Daed on for 30out in the hurricane instead”

In the corner, a dark and thin youth interrupted hih:

“Bro Dasi , this ti! Even if we can’t extract it all, we can still get at least 10 kg – this itself is a fortune already, didn’t you alant to refurbish your Fu Yuan(boat)? With this catch you can refurbish at least 10 times and still have some leftover cash to spend

Dasi was that young ive out an honest laugh, bri with happiness From birth, he has been raised by the sea, the seawater can be said to be a part of him already In this lifetime, his boat could be considered his home Because he adopted 2 orphans earlier on, he did not have time to find a wife and soon after he decided he didn’t need one He used his entire life savings to buy this old boat even after criticis he immediately refurbished the boat, and that is why up till now he had still not repaid all his debts

If one’s prosperity were to be measured by one’s kindness and honesty, then Dasi would have been extremely wealthy by noever, no matter how hard Dasi labored, he could not escape his miserable life of poverty No matter how cruel the heavens can be, eventually there will be a light at the end of the tunnel When Fu Yuan sailed the previous day, they actually encountered a lone fat headed beast
