Chapter 11 Journey to the Seaside (4)

Dinner was very lively, this kind of meal with wine and meat Xie Tian and the others hadn't eaten for a long time. Therefore, this meal is extraordinarily enjoyable and enjoyable. Even Gao Jun, who didn't drink much, drank a big bowl happily. After dinner, Fan Wucheng and the others were arranged in the thatched hut where Xie Tian and the four brothers lived, and the three family members who came with them were given another place to sleep by Uncle Sun.

Xie Tian and the others passed through the thatched hut of the crowd, and Xie Tian, who was originally very good at budgeting, made an exception today to light two oil lamps. Thankfully, there are two thatched huts, Qingchen is arranged to guard the door outside, and the other traversers are concentrated in the inner room, waiting for Zhong Tao to set up a radio station so that he can contact the "Qingyuan" base.

After a short time, Zhong Tao completed the debugging of the radio station, pressed the call button, and called into the microphone: "The seaside group calls the base, the seaside group calls the base." Hear please answer, hear please answer. ”

Soon, Wang Feng's voice came from the earphones, and it seemed that he was on duty on the radio today: "I am the base, I am the base." Please inform me of the situation, please inform me of the situation. ”

Zhong Tao called: "Team leader Fan asked to talk to the committee, and Team leader Fan asked to talk to the committee. Please report as soon as possible, please report as soon as possible. ”

Wang Feng replied: "Understood, understood." ”

After a while, Wang Kunjun's voice came from the earphones: "I'm Wang Kunjun, I'm Wang Kunjun." Please inform me of the situation, please inform me of the situation. ”

Fan Wucheng took the microphone and reported the situation encountered in the small fishing village to Wang Kunjun today, and put forward his request to allow the four traversers here to join the team.

Wang Kunjun did not answer him immediately, but asked him to wait for a moment to allow him to discuss it with the other members of the committee before giving him an answer. Fan Wucheng knew that this matter was relatively important, and it was reasonable that Wang Kunjun could not make an arbitrary decision, so he did not urge, but patiently waited for the result of the discussion there.

After about ten minutes, Wang Kunjun's voice came from the earphones again, and he said happily: "The committee has agreed to Fan Wucheng's request, and your group can bring back the four traversers." The committee has agreed to Fan Wucheng's request, and your group can bring back the four traversers. ”

Hearing this news, Fan Wucheng and the others were naturally very happy, and a stone in their hearts fell to the ground. And Xie Tian and the others were even more overjoyed, and Gao Jun, a kid, even cried happily.

Subsequently, Fan Wucheng reported to Wang Kunjun about the situation of the 'sea intestines', and Wang Kunjun said that they had done a good job this time and would definitely praise them when they returned.

After the call, everyone who had completely put their minds at ease began to talk about their experiences before and after the crossing.

Fan Wucheng and the others learned that Xie Tian's travel time was the same as that of their own group of people, that is to say, this crossing incident should be a group incident. Although everyone had this idea when the Dongshan faction and the Xigu faction met, because they never met other traversers later, and the places where the two of them crossed were not far apart, everyone didn't mention this idea much. Today's encounter with them has increased the likelihood of such a scenario.

According to Xie Tian and others, they were on a beach in Dalian before they crossed. Xie Tian is the owner of a seaside restaurant, while the Huang brothers and Gao Jun are guests at the restaurant. In order to make guests more able to enjoy the sea and beach, Xie Tian has placed some tables and chairs on the beach outside the restaurant. A total of eight tables were set up, and basically every table had guests on it.

At the moment before the crossing, Xie Tian, the little boss, was carrying two bundles of beer to the Huang brothers' table, and Gao Jun was eating ice cream at a table next to the Huang brothers, waving to his girlfriend who was swimming in the sea. After Xie Tian put down his beer and was about to leave, he felt that it was dark, and when he looked up, he saw dark clouds rolling above the beach restaurant, and purple lightning faintly appeared in it. Before everyone could react, he lost consciousness under the shroud of countless dazzling purple lights.

When they woke up, they found themselves on a small reef of less than ten square meters after the high tide, and all the tables and chairs, including the guests, were gone, except for the two tables where the four of them were. After a short period of panic, Huang Shan, who often reads online novels, asked if everyone had crossed over as written in the novel.

After all four of them accept the fact of crossing over, they begin to fight for their own survival. Because they had penetrated the reef and had nothing but sea water around them, the four of them had relied on the two dozen beers and the few dishes on the table for the first day and night. Later, everyone brainstormed and began to try fishing by using the thread on their clothes as a fishing line and the pin on the nameplate on the military uniform worn by the naval officer Huang Hai as a fishing hook. After many failures, they finally began to make gains. However, because there was no fuel – the tables and chairs were plastic and could not be burned – they had to force themselves to eat a raw meal.

At first, the four of them thought they were unlucky, there were so many people in the beach restaurant, and the dark cloud area was not small, but they were crossed. However, two days later, when the Yellow Sea descended to the reef to spot shellfish, he finally realized that he was not the most unlucky. Because he found the remains of a guest who was also dining at the beach restaurant at the time at a depth of about a few meters around this small reef. Judging by the location of the remains, the eight tables at the beach restaurant should have been passed over. It's just that the reef is so small that everyone but the two tables fall into the sea and end up drowning before they can wake up.

Hearing this tragic situation, Yang Xin and Zhong Tao were both embarrassed, and Fan Wucheng felt the same way. Because his wife fell off the cliff and died because of the slight deviation in the position after the transmission, and the old Song family died with her. Xie Tian's narration evoked his nostalgia for his deceased wife, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. After Xie Tian and the others figured out the reason for his sadness, they were also very sympathetic to him. For Xie Tian and them, although there were accidents when they crossed, those who lost their lives did not know them, and although they felt sorry for those people, they did not have such an unforgettable pain as Fan Wucheng.

After a while, Fan Wucheng, comforted by the kind words of Xie Tian, Yang Xin and others, finally stopped his grief and continued to listen to Xie Tian tell about their experiences. ,

Xie Tian said that the most difficult day for the four of them was on the fourth day after the crossing, when not only had they already eaten the few meals that had been passed over together during the crossing, but even the two bundles of beer had been drunk to the ground. The biggest problem they face at this time is not that they don't have food, but that they don't have water to drink. If you don't have food, you can at least fish and touch seashells, but once you don't have water to drink, you're dead. Gao Jun, who was the youngest at the time and was only a high school student, couldn't bear the pressure at first, and even had the idea of committing suicide, if it wasn't for the Huang brothers and Xie Tian desperately blocking him, he would have jumped into the sea a long time ago.

After five days of traveling, they finally got up and running, and a fishing boat passed near the reef and rescued the four people. At this point, they only had half a bottle of beer left in their hands. Thankfully, he still remembers the excitement they felt when they saw the fishing boat, and he really realized what it means to survive in a desperate situation. At that time, the four of them shouted excitedly, and threw all the empty wine bottles into the sea, so frightened that the fishermen on the fishing boat almost took them for savages and gave up on the rescue.

After the fishing boat rescued them, they came to this small fishing village. When they first arrived, the four of them were penniless, and they had no personal belongings except for the clothes they were wearing. The fishermen who rescued them were also poor, and they often did not have enough food for their own three meals a day, so it was impossible to feed the four of them for a long time. So, under the leadership of Xie Tian, the four of them relied on their strength and began to help the villagers, following the villagers to the sea and fishing, barely earning a bite to eat. This kind of hungry and full days passed for many months, and it was not until October last year that because of his steadfastness and hard work, and a little knowledge and learning, he was accepted as a righteous son by Uncle Sun, so as to completely gain a firm foothold here.

Through the detailed descriptions of Xie Tian and others, Fan Wucheng had a clearer understanding of the hardships endured by these four traversers during this time, and admired their courage to face difficulties. They talked for a long time, and they didn't go to sleep until three or four o'clock in the morning.

The next day, everyone didn't get up until near noon, and after a simple meal, Xie Tian and the other four went to greet Uncle Sun. After returning, he discussed with Fan Wucheng and others the issue of when to leave for the city.

According to the meaning of Fan Wucheng and others, it is natural that the sooner the better. Now that the team's work is just getting on track, there are many things to do every day, and one more day of delay here will affect the day's work. Xie Tian and the others, except for Gao Jun, were a little hesitant, and they didn't really want to leave immediately. Xie Tian, in particular, clearly expressed his disagreement with Fan Wucheng's suggestion to set off immediately.

He said in a resolute tone: "Brother Fan, I know that you are for our good. I feel that we have suffered so much here, and we should go back to our hometown with you immediately and live a few days of comfort. When I first found out who you were, I was very happy, and at the same time I was anxious to live that kind of good life with no worries, but then I realized that I couldn't. I barely slept last night, thinking about it over and over again. In the end, I decided to stay, because I am thankful that I am not an ungrateful person who does not know what to reciprocate.

Although our father-in-law did not give us glory and wealth, nor did he give us fine clothes and food, but his old man reached out to us in the most difficult time, so that we could have a full meal to eat and a warm clothes to wear, this is our reborn parents, we should treat him like our biological father. We can't leave him here for the sake of his own comfortable life, and make him the lonely old man he was again. Since I have recognized the old man as my father-in-law, I must fulfill my son's filial piety in front of the old man, and I will provide for his old man's old age and send him to the end of his life.

Brother Fan, I have received the wishes of you and the other brothers, but I can only say sorry to you. I hope you can understand me, and I hope you can explain the situation to your committee, and ask them to give me some time to thank God so that I can provide for my stepfather's retirement. At that time, if you are still willing to have me, I thank God that I will not hesitate to go to you. ”

Before Xie Tian's words fell, the Huang brothers also unanimously expressed their support for Xie Tian's decision, and they would also stay with him to fulfill their filial piety and provide for their father-in-law. Gao Jun's reaction was not so resolute, he muttered for a long time, but finally did not say a word. He just lowered his head to look at his toes, and avoided the inquiring glances cast by Xie Tian and the Huang brothers.

Regarding Gao Jun's reaction, Xie Tian and the three of them did not show any dissatisfaction and contempt. In their opinion, Gao Jun was just a child, and before the crossing, he was still the pearl of his parents' palms, and was cared for by his parents like a baby. Not to mention hardship, he won't even be allowed to do daily housework. At this time, faced with the choice of worry-free food and clothing, no need to get up early and work at sea at night, and lack of food and clothing on the other hand, and having to run around for life every day, it is understandable for him to choose the former.

Although Xie Tian and the other three were very resolute, Fan Wucheng did not give up, and he persuaded again: "Brother Xie, Brother Huang, brother, I know that you are people who value love and righteousness. However, brother, I don't think you can only do your filial piety here with Uncle Sun. Wouldn't it be better for you to take Uncle Sun to a good hometown, and let Uncle Sun, who has suffered all his life and worked hard all his life, go to the city to enjoy a few days of happiness? Do you think that the conditions in the city of Liangxiang are not as good as here, or do you think that Uncle Sun is unwilling to go into the city to enjoy the blessings? Have you discussed this matter with Uncle Sun? ”

Actually, it's not that Xie Tian hasn't considered this choice, it's just that he feels that he is a new member, and if he just joins the team, he hasn't done anything, so it's not appropriate to take his stepfather over. Therefore, after thinking about it, I decided to stay and join the team after sending off the old man.

At this time, Fan Wucheng offered to take the old man with him, but he naturally couldn't ask for it. However, he also knew that Fan Wucheng was not the decision-maker of the team, and he didn't say it alone, so he said a little unsteadily: "Brother, I haven't talked about this matter to my father-in-law, and I think my father-in-law will not object to going into the city with us." However, I just don't know if the leader of the team can agree to let us join with our stepfather? ”

Fan Wucheng waved his hand when he heard this, and retorted: "Brother Xie, what are you talking about. Since Uncle Sun is your father-in-law, that is, the elder of our team members, I think the leaders of the committee and other functional groups will definitely agree to take Uncle Sun into the city. If you have any concerns, we can get in touch with the base right away, explain the matter, and see what they decide. ”

Immediately, Fan Wucheng asked Zhong Tao to turn on the radio, talk to the "Qingyuan" base, and report the situation here to the base. The reaction of the base was not as expected by Fan Wucheng, and Wang Kunjun, on behalf of the committee, agreed to Fan Wucheng's proposal and asked Xie Tian to bring his father-in-law into the city with him, so that he could live in his old age. Xie Tian and the others, who had received permission, had no worries, and immediately went to their father-in-law's residence, and after some pleading, they finally persuaded their father-in-law to leave their hometown where they had lived for decades and go to the city with them.
