Chapter 872: Rescued (I)
"Xiaojun, did I hear it wrong?"
A middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen years old on the deck, who was holding a searchlight on the bow of the ship shining on the sea, said to a young man beside him: "I heard someone calling for help, I wonder if you all heard it?" ”
It was a small and medium-sized fishing boat, and there were only six people on board, including the captain and crew, and except for the middle-aged man with a searchlight, the rest of the people were much younger.
"Abba, you heard me right, I heard the shouting too." The young man who was called Xiaojun by the middle-aged man was twenty-three or four-year-old at the age of twenty-three or four, and his appearance was six or seven points similar to that of the middle-aged man, but he was father and son.
"Second uncle, I also heard it, someone is calling for help......" A young man next to him just opened his mouth and closed his mouth, because the sound of help came from the sea breeze again.
"Turn off the motor and get ready to save people!"
This time, the middle-aged man heard it clearly, and hurriedly shot the searchlight in the direction where the sound came from, but although it was not very far apart, it was really not easy to find a person on the vast sea.
"Abba, I see it, there...... There's someone there! In the end, it was the young man's sharp eyes, and while the middle-aged man was still searching, his son Xiaojun had already seen Qin Feng's constantly waving hand.
"Quick, bring the boat over, it's us Chinese!"
The middle-aged man yelled at the cabin, he grew up in a family that fished for a living in the authentic era, and when he encountered a person in distress at sea, he must reach out to help.
"Second uncle, don't worry!" Just as the fishing boat was approaching Qin Feng and the middle-aged man was about to untie the lifeboat on board, a young man stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Saving people is like fighting fire, how can you not ......be in a hurry," the middle-aged man glared at him and said, "There is a lot of wind and waves on the sea today. If you sink someone, you can't save them if you want to......"
"Second uncle, can you ...... But what if it's the bad guy we rescue? The young man hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Second uncle, do you remember what happened to the old Zhao family last year?" ”
"Huh? You mean the old Zhao in town? After hearing my nephew's words. The middle-aged man couldn't help but hesitate, he had already understood what his nephew meant at this moment.
Lao Zhao, as the young people called, was the best of the first group of people in their town to fish and get rich.
In the early years, Lao Zhao was not engaged in fishing, but smuggling, but after the country's crackdown on smuggling became more and more severe, Lao Zhao washed his hands and went ashore and bought a large fishing vessel with ocean-going capabilities.
When others had just turned the rowing fishing boat into an engine boat, Lao Zhao's fishing boat was already equipped with fishing winches, refrigeration devices, air compressors and other equipment, and it was the largest fishing boat in the local area.
At a time when fishery resources are depleted. Lao Zhao was not affected in any way.
His distant-water fishing boats could go to places that ordinary fishermen could not reach, and each time they returned with a full load, creating a huge fortune for Lao Zhao, whose profits even far exceeded that of smuggling.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Lao Zhao didn't know that he had been targeted.
Just one summer last year, Lao Zhao personally went out to sea with the boat to fish, and when he was returning. He rescued a man who was said to have been shipwrecked at sea.
People who live by the sea believe in Mazu and are very kind-hearted. After asking the man's name and origin, Lao Zhao left him on the boat and prepared to take him back.
But what Lao Zhao didn't expect was that this person was actually a member of the pirate gang, and that night, this person and the pirate were inside and out. took down Lao Zhao's fishing boat.
Pirates usually don't plunder fishing boats because they have no channels to sell fish, but Lao Zhao is really too famous, and these people have the idea of kidnapping.
After subduing the people on board, they made use of the ship's communication facilities. Extorted 30 million yuan from Lao Zhao's family, with a time limit of three days.
Lao Zhao also used to mix in the road, and he promised that his family could raise the money to hand over to the pirates, and the fact was that it only took two days for the money to be transferred to the designated account of the pirates.
But what Lao Zhao didn't expect was that these pirates were ruthless, and in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they killed all the more than 30 crew members on the ship, creating a shocking bloody case.
After this case, there was a great deal of panic among the fishermen along the coast, and for a long time, the fishermen did not even dare to go out to sea to fish.
It wasn't until the beginning of this year that the case was solved, it turned out that those pirates colluded with Lao Zhao's acquaintances in the town to do the case, and they arranged the kidnapping operation through guò that acquaintance mastered Lao Zhao's movements to go to sea.
Although the case was solved, Lao Zhao and his two sons who accompanied the ship could no longer survive, and the once prominent Zhao family was considered to be ruined, and it will never be the same as before.
Now hearing his nephew mention this matter, the middle-aged man's heart suddenly tightened, he knew what his nephew meant, he didn't want to let himself be nosy, in case he encountered pirates, it would be the end of the ship's ruin.
"Yes...... But if it's really the person who fell into the sea, if we don't save it, Mazu Niangniang will be blamed! ”
Listening to the miserable cry for help on the sea, the middle-aged man hesitated for a while, and then said: "Save people first, rescue people and interrogate them clearly, if they really come from the wrong way, throw people into the sea......"
"Okay!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man insisted, the young people suddenly got busy, put the lifeboat into the sea, Lao Zhao jumped on it himself, and someone on the boat naturally pointed him in the direction with lights.
"Help, help!" Seeing a speedboat coming, Qin Feng's cries for help became louder and louder, if he wasn't afraid of scaring these people, Qin Feng would have boarded the ship directly by himself.
"Throw a lifebuoy down......" When Qin Feng approached, the middle-aged man asked his son to throw a lifebuoy, but he was not in a hurry to salvage Qin Feng.
"Who are you?" Seeing that Qin Feng grabbed the lifebuoy, the middle-aged man asked.
"Help!" Qin Feng looked at the people on the lifeboat a little strangely, and said, "Is this unknown, I'm the one who fell into the water, hurry up and save me to ......"
"Second uncle, something is wrong!"
The middle-aged nephew who followed down leaned into the middle-aged man's ear and said, "It's not like we haven't seen someone who fell into the water, where is there anyone as energetic as him?" I think there's a fraud in it......"
"Well, something is wrong...... the middle-aged man nodded, and his heart hesitated.
"Damn, dare buddy forgot to act?"
When the middle-aged uncle and nephew spoke, he thought that his voice was very small, but he didn't expect that all of them were listened to by Qin Feng, which made Qin Feng in the sea very annoyed, he only cared about calling for help, and completely forgot that he was in this state, and he didn't look like a person in distress at all.
"Hey, I said this uncle, I'm really a shipwrecked person......"
Qin Feng's mind turned, and he said: "My surname is He, my name is He Feng, I went to Africa to work as a black worker, I worked in the gold mine for several years, I made money and wanted to return to China, who knew that the snake-headed boat capsized, and we survived four or five ...... in a boatload of people."
Before Qin Feng entered that space, he had heard him talk to Bai Zhentian when he was chatting, there were many laborers in China who were smuggled to Africa to mine gold, some made a fortune, and some died in other places, and now Qin Feng borrowed such an identity.
"Four or five? Why are you the only one? The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "When did you fall into the water?" What about the others? ”
Although the middle-aged man knew about the black work in Africa, he couldn't trust Qin Feng, especially the flaws in Qin Feng's words were obvious, what did it mean that a boatload of people only survived four or five? What about four or five people?
"We've capsized for days."
Qin Feng saw that the middle-aged man didn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "After we capsized, we drifted to a small island, and we didn't see a boat passing by for several days, so we couldn't help it, we made a canoe and let me go to sea for help......"
"Xiaojun, what do you think?"
Hearing Qin Feng's explanation was quite reasonable, the middle-aged man looked at his son, when he encountered this kind of thing, if he didn't save it, he was afraid that his conscience would not be able to get over.
"Abba, let's get him to the boat first." The middle-aged man's son hesitated for a moment and said, "There are so many of us, as long as we keep an eye on him, there should be no problem......
Since last year's pirate incident, these fishermen have also taken some precautions when they go out to sea, and there are not only two shark guns on the fishing boat, but even a pistol, which are used for self-defense.
"Okay, get him up!" Hearing his son's words, the middle-aged man took a bamboo pole, let Qin Feng in the sea catch it, and slowly pulled it onto the lifeboat.
"Thank you, thank you, I ...... I'll pay you! Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was now thinking about how to fool these people and go to that small island to pick up Qin Dongyuan and the others.
"Forget the reward, saving people at sea is not for money."
The middle-aged man shook his head, took the ginger soup that had always been on the boat and handed it to Qin Feng, and said, "Let's drink it first to warm up your body, although it is summer now, it is still very cold at night in the sea......
"Thank you, thank you, uncle......" Qin Feng nodded gratefully, drank the ginger soup in one go, and took off his backpack from behind his back and held it in his hand.
"Uncle, what kind of sea area is this place, and where are you from?" After Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he asked like a middle-aged man.
Although the middle-aged man was a little guarded, Qin Feng had so much experience in the rivers and lakes, and after a few words, he set out all the details of these people.
It turned out that Qin Feng's guess was not wrong, his current location was less than two hundred nautical miles away from the Zhoushan Islands, and the general direction was completely correct.
And the middle-aged man in front of him is surnamed Feng, his name is Feng Youcai, and he is the captain of this ship. Like many coastal families, Feng Youcai's ship was purchased by him and his eldest brother, as well as the shares of some relatives.
Although it is only a small and medium-sized fishing boat, it is also a family business, so his son and eldest brother's son and several nephews all work on the boat-
