Chapter 45: Oolong
The small coastal village in the southern part of the bay has been home to villagers for generations.
As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, the sea eats the sea, and marine fishing is the only source of income for this small village.
The weather is sunny today, and the sea is not stormy. It's a good day to go out fishing.
Shi Laohan, who has been a fisherman all his life, walks on the beach with an old pipe as old as him in his mouth. While smoking, I took a pleasant walk.
Look at the sunset that is starting to turn red, and the sea breeze blows. Waiting for the young descendants of the village to return safely.
What's lying on the beach ahead? Seems to be a person?
Shi Laohan hurriedly stepped forward. Oops, sure enough, it's a person, and I'm wet.
Shi Laohan hurriedly threw the pipe in his hand on the beach and trotted all the way back to the village to call someone.
The young men in the village had not yet returned, and a group of girls and the youngest man, who was in his early 50s, were scrambling to help carry the people on the beach back to Shi Laohan's house.
"He's fine. It's out of strength, not drowning. It's good to get some sleep. I guess I'll wake up tomorrow morning, and I'll take care of you all night. ”
The old village chief stood at Shi Laohan's house and said, Shi Laohan also nodded.
Not long after, Shi Laohan's two sons also returned. After listening to Shi Laohan's description, both brothers generously expressed their willingness to accept this poor man who was drowning unidentified.
Nothing was said all night.
Chen Ming finally woke up. The 10-kilometer swim is really life-threatening. Don't look at it, it's only a little more than the 3-kilometer armed swimming trained by the special forces, and it doesn't carry equipment. But the further the consumption of this physical energy goes, the more it multiplies geometrically.
Fortunately, Chen Ming caught up with the rising tide in the evening. After seeing that he was in the right direction, Chen Ming used his last strength to take off his wetsuit and throw away his goggles in the water.
Even if the domestic diving suit and underwater bayonet are all imported products, Chen Ming will not allow the slightest possibility of revealing his military identity.
"Brother, are you awake? My name is Shi Deng. What's your name? ”
Shi Laohan's second son was guarding Chen Ming's bedside at this time according to the instructions of his eldest brother and father.
"Ah, my name is Chen Keming. Thank you for saving me. ”
When Chen Ming was about to say his real name, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and made up a name instead. In fact, it can't be regarded as a fake name, Chen Ming is from the Kezi generation, and his grandfather in the countryside always calls him Keming instead of Chen Ming.
"Hehe, I didn't save you, it was my father and the people in the village who saved you. By the way, listen to your accent, it's not us who stay in the bay. ”
Shi Deng was very happy and proud of the fact that there were guests in the village and he was rescued by his own village.
"Well, I'm from Aiminato. I went out to sea to play and fell overboard. ”
Chen Ming replied in a tone that was more and more Cantonese. Secretly praised for his wit.
Chen Ming, who was born in Handong Province, learned Cantonese from his grandfather since he was a child, and at this time, with his own performance, it was seamless!
It's just that he didn't know that his behavior was missing out on the comrades who came to him in the future.
"Alright, Xiao Deng. Hurry up and ask the guests to come to dinner, and then we will go to the county seat. ”
The name of the person who came was Shi Pan, and the name of the two brothers was taken from the meaning of climbing. Shi Laohan's name is good.
Chen Ming and the three members of the Shi family had dinner, and after thanking the three of them, they went to the village to thank them from house to house. The people in the small village gradually began to have a good impression of this polite and handsome young man.
"Shi Lao, is there a phone in the village? I'd like to call home so they can pick me up as soon as possible. ”
After Chen Ming thanked him in the village, he asked after entering the door with the two Shi brothers who accompanied him.
"Yo, there's really no one in the village. There's a phone in the county, and the young man is leaving? ”
"Yes, report your safety so that Grandma won't worry."
Chen Ming said with a smile. His aunt didn't know that something had happened to him now, but he could imagine how worried Lu Huaicheng was now.
"That's the truth. In this way, Ah Pan, hurry up and stop Huzi. Let him wait and carry Keming to the city together. Ardennes, you go outside and pack Keming's clothes. Tidy up and don't leave anything behind. ”
Following Shi Laohan's words, Shi Pan hurriedly ran out of the door with a sigh, and Shi Deng didn't wait for Chen Ming to refuse and ran to the small courtyard outside the door to pack Chen Ming's clothes.
"Come, kid. You and I come. ”
Shi Laohan beckoned to Chen Ming, Chen Ming had no choice but to secretly remember the kindness of this family to him and follow behind Shi Laohan.
Shi Laohan walked to a cupboard in his room and opened the drawer. Take out a folded pouch of cloth and open the cloth. took out a piece of Taiwan dollars of one hundred from it and handed it to Chen Ming.
"Kid, you see our conditions. More can't help you, you take the money. At least you can stutter when you go out, and you can find a place to sleep at night. ”
"I can't do it. Shi Lao, I can't repay the great kindness of my life, I can't get this money. ”
When Chen Ming heard Shi Laohan's words, he was immediately anxious and hurriedly excused himself.
Neither of the two could convince anyone, and in the end, under the adjustment of the two climbing brothers, they each took a step back. Chen Ming took 50 Taiwan dollars and waved goodbye to the Shi family.
Chen Ming was moved and almost saluted the military salute. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and did not raise his hand. It's just that in my heart, I silently remember this simple family.
Half an hour later, Chen Ming came to the county seat in the small truck of the village chief's son, Ah Hu.
Feeling the long-lost urban atmosphere, Chen Ming said goodbye to Ah Hu. Find the newsstand on the side of the road and pick up the phone.
However, Chen Ming was suddenly stunned. It seems that I don't know the phone number of the Southeast Fleet or the Dongjiang base, and I don't even remember the phone number of the ship yard. Growing up in an era when personal communication terminals were not popular, few people had the habit of remembering phone numbers, not to mention the popularity of smart phones in Chen Ming's later years, and there was no habit of remembering phone numbers.
So what to do? Chen Ming looked at the newsstand owner with a bad face, who was as stable as an old dog on the surface, but panicked in his heart.
This oolong is making a big fuss. At the most dangerous time, I survived, but now I find that I don't remember my phone number.
What he didn't know was that there was a bigger oolong also going on at this time.
"Looking for whom? Chen Ming? Continental? ”
"No, no, no. We rescued one person yesterday, but it was a Hong Kong person. ”
"Well, how could it be wrong. I've heard Cantonese songs, and that Cantonese is so authentic. ”
Shi Laohan looked at the unknown person in front of him, although he wondered why the name of the person he was looking for was so similar to Chen Keming. But the mainlanders and the people of Xianggang, he still knows.
However, he didn't know that there were also many people in Handong Province on the mainland who spoke Cantonese.
The newsstand owner looked at Chen Ming for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Do you call, if you don't call, get out of the way, there are still people lining up behind." ”
Chen Ming smiled at the boss, and then pressed three buttons.
110!
It's hard to find the police, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm having trouble right now, I'm sleepy and difficult.
"Sorry, the number you dialed was empty........"
