Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Chapter 319: Mother is Not Dead

Lan Qiyan sat on the bed and put life jackets on the little ones. He turned to the older ones and said, "Put them on later and don't go out. The colors are too bright and will attract attention."

"Don't worry, Aunt. We definitely won't go out now." Feng Qi said solemnly.

"Aunt, do you think something bad will happen?"

Lan Qiyan shook his head. "I'm not sure, but I trust your grandma and your dad's judgment. They have so many years of experience, they must know more than us."

"I don't want anything bad to happen. My mother has almost saved enough money to marry my eldest sister-in-law off, and our family is slowly getting better. If a disaster comes, we'll have to start all over again."

"Feng Xi, remember, these are external things. Only people are the most important. As long as people are fine, we will still have these things."

"Aunt, you are right. No one of us can be left behind."

At this time, the small fishing village was brightly lit. Families who had been reluctant to light kerosene lamps now lit up their lamps, and the laborers outside also raised torches.

But it was not to avoid disaster, but to grab fish.

Feng Nian stamped his feet anxiously. Could it be that after living here for generations, they have lost the ability to judge danger?

Is now the time to catch fish?

We have to escape now. Which is more important, life or fish?

"Go home quickly and stop fishing. Look, look, the waves are coming, the waves are coming, run." Feng Nian shouted at the top of his lungs, and even used his hands to shake the people around him.

The cheers were so loud that they completely drowned out his voice.

Feng Nian used all his strength to beat the gong, "Disaster is about to come, go home and take shelter, don't catch fish, the storm is coming, the tsunami is coming, the earthquake is coming, run." His hands were almost broken from beating, and his voice was hoarse, but no one paid any attention to him.

Feng Nian looked around, trying to find some brothers from the same clan to help, and happened to see the village chief's large ship leaving quickly.

He chased after him and said, "Village chief, you can't go to the sea. Come back quickly. Come back quickly. It's dangerous at sea. Come back quickly."

The laughter of people catching fish drowned out all other sounds.

He knelt down and cried bitterly. Was God going to kill them?

Is it because too many fish have been caught over the years?

Fengnian looked at the boat in the distance, then at the crazy villagers, and walked home dejectedly.

Feng Tianba stood on the deck, watching Feng Nian waving his hands nonchalantly until Feng Nian turned into a black dot.

Feng Wu on the side said, "Dad, he found out that we left."

"So what? This island is too low and won't last long. The country has strict control over these islands. We can't make money. If we want to live a good life, we have to live on land."

"Here, Dad is the local emperor, but once we enter the land, we will have no advantage."

"Who said that? The shark in the cargo hold is our biggest trump card."

Feng Wu immediately understood, "Dad, what are you going to do..."

"Hush, this is a secret between us. Even your eldest brother doesn't know. You brothers all have your own jobs. Your job is to go out to sea with the ship and then put the fish into the cargo hold..."

Feng Wu now understood that his father had always asked him to follow the ship not because he looked down on him, but because the part he was responsible for was too important.

Seeing his sons so moved that they were crying, Feng Batian suddenly felt that he was really smart. None of his five sons were like him.

The father and son were still chatting, not realizing that the sea in front of them seemed to be cut in half by something.

After Fengnian returned home, he briefly explained what the villagers had done.

Old Mrs. Feng could only sigh helplessly. Now everyone is attracted by the interests and no one cares about life or death.

Just as the family was chatting, screams suddenly came from outside.

"Feng Qi, put on your life jackets quickly." Lan Qiyan shouted.

Several people were in a hurry and the water had already entered the house before they could get dressed.

"Climb to the highest place and don't be nervous." Lan Qiyan continued.

Fengnian carried his mother to the beam of the house, and then carried his wife to him. By then, the sea water had reached his thighs.

"Feng Qi, open the skylight above. The foundation of our house is very solid and it won't collapse. Don't be afraid."

Although he comforted her, Feng Chuan was already crying. Feng Xi hugged him and said, "You little brat, we are all here. Auntie said that the clothes we put on can save our lives and we won't sink to the bottom."

"Sister, I'm scared."

"Be good, don't be afraid."

Fengnian opened the door and walked out with difficulty.

Rouniang shouted from behind, "Where are you going? Why don't you come back?"

"Don't be afraid, wife. I'll go check out the situation outside."

Lan Qiyan stood on the roof, looking at the sea level not far away. The sea level, which was usually gentle, now looked like a ferocious beast with a bloody mouth, dark and rushing towards him with the wind and waves.

Feng Nian hadn't walked far before he was washed back by the waves.

"How is your son? What's the situation outside?" asked Old Mrs. Feng worriedly.

"Mom, there's water all over the place outside. Listen to the violent storm. I didn't see anyone before I was filmed back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole family thought of the same thing tacitly. They were all picking fish at the beach. Had they been swept in?

"Oh my God, are we safe hiding here? Should we have just taken the boat and left?" Old Mrs. Feng cried, her face full of despair.

"It's faster to die by boat. I saw the village chief's big boat before, but now there's nothing. Now we can only pray that this disaster will stop soon."

Rou Niang hugged Feng Yao and was now very glad that she had left her younger sister behind, otherwise they would have been corpses now.

At this time, Yu Zi'an, Yu Ziqi, Yu Xiu and Yu Zhen were already on their way at full speed.

Yu Xiu was overjoyed. It turned out that his mother was not dead, but just lost her memory.

It doesn’t matter, as long as he is still alive, he can make his mother happy.

Yuzhen was both happy and annoyed that his mother was actually in that small fishing village. He had specially sent his men to investigate. He should have gone there himself, but his headache happened to strike at that time.

Everyone in the group had smiles on their faces and couldn't help but tighten their horses' stomachs.

Pei Zhuxuan in the capital was feeding fish at home. Pei's mother was very puzzled, "Son, why don't you go? You and the eldest princess are so close, it would be bad if you don't go to pick her up, right?"

"I can't take it back."

"What do you mean?"

"They are smart all their lives but stupid for a moment. The news of a major disaster in the Sea God Kingdom has spread throughout the streets and alleys. I heard that most of the Sea God Kingdom has been submerged by the sea. Do you think the island where the princess is can be spared?"

"You kid, you have to go if the prince is in danger."

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to go, but there's nothing I can do. You know what? There was an earthquake in the sea, and all the islands between the Great Yong Dynasty and the Sea God Kingdom were split down. Now it's all sea, endless, and there's no possibility of rescue. Besides, I'll have to go down to accompany her sooner or later, so there's no rush."

Mother Pei sighed. She felt more and more that her eldest son was sick. He was so calm when his good friend was in trouble.

Seeing her mother leave in anger, Pei Zhuxuan threw away the fish food in her hand and said, "I can find her, but I don't want them to find her, hehe."
