Chapter 1029: Fishermen Show the Way

But just because Ulan doesn't know doesn't mean that others don't know, Hearing me ask, his expression became a little unnatural, and it seemed that he felt that I didn't trust his authority in this field.

So I patiently explained to him that I was not questioning his professionalism, but there are more than 10,000 islands in Indonesia, can he really guarantee that he is familiar with each of them?

We Chinese have a saying called "live to learn from old age", and it is not a shame to ask the old fishermen for advice, after all, their lives are much longer than ours, maybe there is something we don't know?

When Ulan heard this, he smiled and said, "I learned Chinese at the Confucius Institute, so I know this sentence, well, the matter of finding the old fisherman is wrapped up in me." ”

Hearing him say this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, after all, we are on other people's territory, and it is not a good thing to offend people as soon as we come. Besides, our goal is the same, to find the missing plane, so it's better that we don't have any disagreements with each other as a small team.

After coming to Surabaya, the climate here reminded me of my previous trip to the Philippines, and I hope this time it won't be a nightmare like the last time. Compared with us, Yuan Muye was much calmer, and I asked him if he had been to Indonesia before, but he said that he had never been abroad, and this was the first time.

Maybe he knew that his life was peculiar since he was a child, so Yuan Muye had almost no friends since he was a child, and even the things he told me had only been mentioned to Old Man Zhou before......

I was a little touched by this, and although I don't know if he now regards me as a true friend, at least I should be a trustworthy person for him.

Over the next two days, Ulan did get a few older local fishermen, and when I showed them the outline of the island I had drawn, most of them couldn't tell what kind of island it was. But one of the fishermen, who was almost 100 years old, said that he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but now he couldn't remember it for a while.

As soon as I heard this old man say that he was a little impressed, then there was a door, so I asked Ulan to send the other old people away, and then only this old man was left with delicious and delicious hospitality......

Then the old man finally remembered that he had been to this island thirty years ago, when he and his eldest son went out to sea to fish, but they encountered bad weather and almost did not return. He knew that he had to find a small island to shelter from such strong storms at sea, so he and his son fled to an unknown island in a hurry.

They had not gone to the middle of the island because they had only sheltered from the storm, but he had looked closely at the island from a high place, and there was indeed a sunken valley on the island. It seemed to him that most of the fishermen did not recognize my sketches, not because I didn't like them, but because most of them had never actually been to the island, so they didn't know that there was a valley on the island that was sunken into a ring......

I listened to it again and again, and I said that the elderly always have knowledge that we don't understand! It doesn't matter if other people are illiterate or not, or whether they know smartphones or not, they will always have more knowledge than young people on these issues.

But at the same time, the old man also said that he was a few years old, and it was impossible to take us out to sea to find the island again. But his eldest son is still begging for a living at sea, and he can take us with him.

Two days later, the old man's eldest son, Rudy, took us out to sea to find the island they had met more than thirty years ago...... Rudy is also in his 60s this year, and because he has been fishing at sea all year round, his body is very strong, so he has not retired yet. Fishing is a high-intensity physical work, and if you don't have a very tough body, you definitely can't do it.

Rudy told us that in fact, the island is rarely visited by people, because the island is relatively remote and inaccessible, and ordinary fishermen would not go to the island if they did not go to the island occasionally to avoid the wind.

For example, he and his father, who have been fishing for generations, have only been there once in their 30s or so to avoid typhoons. But even though they never went there since, they still knew how to get there.

Led by Rudy, we officially headed to the island I saw in the memories of Shen Wenwen and Wu Qianqian on the fifth day of our arrival in Surabaya...... They don't know why we're so sure the missing plane must be on that island, but it's always good to have a target compared to their blind search these days......

Rudy told us that they now have to look at the weather forecast in advance when they go out to fish, unlike in the past, where they had to rely on experience to judge whether the weather was good or bad. Because you can know the weather in advance, it is rare to go to the island to take shelter from the wind.

On the way to the direction of the small island with the fishing boat we hired, Ah Guang, the leader of the rescue team, and Zheng Zheng, the leader of the security team, discussed the deployment after going to the island. We don't have a say in this regard, after all, people are professionals, and all we can do is help them lock in the general direction......

Because of the fact that some wild animals may be encountered after going to the island, Captain Zheng suggested that if there is no threat to the person, try to focus on expulsion to avoid unnecessary disputes caused by the killing of local animals.

It's a pity that Captain Zheng can't be equipped with guns, which is also a disadvantage of Chinese security companies compared to Western security companies. Therefore, our occupational security must be extraordinary...... Especially some hand-to-hand combat. Just look at the tendons and flesh of Captain Zheng and the others, you can know that none of them are easy to mess with.

After arriving on the island, the search team first set up camp in the open space of the island, because we had to stay on the island for a few days, so it was important to find a good place to stay. Although this island does not look very large, if you want to search the whole island carefully, you will definitely not be able to complete it in a few days.

After the camp was set up, Ah Guang took his drone and his two teammates to take a photo of the island to see if it was the island we were looking for. As for Rudy, we arranged for him and the fishing boat we hired to return first, and when we had the results here, the fishing boat would come back to the island to pick us up.

At this time, Uncle Li was holding a compass and checking near the camp, wanting to see if there were any places where people and animals should not be close. And I was like a tourist who had just arrived on the island, taking selfies non-stop......
