After Chen Yanfang finished talking to Teacher Li, her heart boiled like a pot, and after sitting up from the bed, she wanted to call her husband. But considering that he has already gone to sea, I am afraid that he has left China's waters at the moment, and it is impossible to say what he is doing. Maybe the message I just sent is out of place. Now, should I call him?

In fact, she has been living with her husband for more than ten years, and she has never taken the initiative to call her husband. Besides, he knew that since his husband had sailed overnight, he might be resting for now. Now, she can only bury her distress and regret in her heart.

Now her heart is like tens of thousands of steel needles pierced, her throat seems to be blocked by something, since she can't accept her own mistakes, she can't accept her husband leaving her like this. She fell on the bed and cried bitterly, regretting everything she had done, can she be forgiven by the other party now?

Besides, Wang Baishu came back this time, and before he made love to his wife, he hurriedly boarded the giant ship of the voyage, and his heart was full of ups and downs. The relationship between him and his wife is sometimes like that of a child, quarreling during the day, but at night through the relationship between men and women to make up for the emotional rift. This is really in response to that sentence - quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. Now, when he comes home this time, the situation has completely changed. His tears flowed equally bitterly.

In this way, he blocked his heart, and the huge ship under his command sailed in the sea for several days, and passed through the South China Sea through the Strait of Malacca and entered the vast Indian Ocean...

At this moment, the first mate on the freighter suddenly came to the command cabin to report a sudden incident to him: "Captain Wang, we received a distress signal just now. ”

He looked at his stranger assistant in amazement: "What happened?" ”

Thirty nautical miles northwest of the sea we sailed on, a freighter from a South Asian country has run aground and is about to capsize, and is currently calling for help.

His brow furrowed: "Are there any other ships sailing in the surrounding waters?" ”

The first mate shook his head affirmatively: "No." At present, our freighter is the closest to the freighter that had an accident. ”

He pondered for a moment, and then decisively gave the order: "Then what are we waiting for?" Immediately change course and approach the ship. ”

"This?" The first mate looked embarrassed, "But we're pressed for time." If you have a branch in the middle of the festival, I'm afraid..."

He didn't wait for the first mate to finish speaking, then he interrupted angrily: "Sir, nothing is more important than saving lives at the moment. You don't say any more, change course immediately. ”

The first mate still reminded the new boss: "You have to figure it out. We have a batch of expedited containers on our freighter. If we are one day late, we will be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars by Party A. Besides, even if we rush to the sea area where the accident occurred, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

His expression was an understatement: "Don't say that you are fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, even if it is millions of dollars, can you buy a life?" Since there are no other ships nearby, our freighter is probably a lifesaver for that freighter. Even if we can save a life, it's worth it. ”

"But... Do we need to consult the head office? ”

He shook his head decisively: "There is no time. Even if the company blames it afterwards, I will bear everything. ”

The first mate still cautiously advised: "Let's wait a while, it's better to ask the company first." ”

His eyes glared at the strange assistant: "Don't you understand me?" If we delay any longer, even for a few seconds, we risk delaying the lives of the crew. Besides, even if the company opposes us changing course to the rescue, it is useless. Haven't you heard of the principle that 'there will be no military orders abroad'? Please don't be verbose, just do what I suggest. ”

After all, the first mate did not obey his orders because the boss was temporary, and when he saw that the other party had given him a strong order, he no longer dared to disobey him. However, at the same time that the freighter changed course, he also informed the domestic company of the news that he had changed course without authorization to go to the rescue.

Less than an hour after changing course, the freighter learned that the freighter in distress had sunk.

The first mate said anxiously at this time: "I'm afraid we're really too late." Otherwise, change course. ”

His eyes widened: "We are already close to the sea area where the accident occurred, how can there be any reason to turn back?" Today, our freighters are moving too slowly to rescue the crew members who have fallen overboard. Therefore, we must put down all the small boats on the freighter and carry out a large-scale search and rescue of the accident area. ”

The first mate had never partnered with him, and when he saw that he was stubborn, he had to obey his decision.

The giant freighter, which had a total of six small boats, was lowered by wire ropes and carried out a large-scale search and rescue operation in the sea area where the freighter sank.

He looked through his glasses in the cockpit and quickly spotted a group of drifting overboard drifters three nautical miles away from the side of the freighter. Today, the dinghy that was dropped off on his freighter has not yet arrived there. He immediately ordered: "Go at full speed to the direction of 35 degrees north!" ”

Freighters and two dinghies arrived there one after another.

This army of seventeen people in distress was extremely excited when they saw this huge ship coming to their rescue. When they were rescued on the freighter's splint by the soft ladder one by one, they were grateful and wept hard to describe in words.

While directing the search and rescue of the other people who fell into the sea, he personally asked the survivors who were rescued: "Excuse me, how many of you are in total?" ”

He asked questions in English, hoping that some of these people would understand English.

Unexpectedly, a survivor who resembled an Eastern face replied directly in Chinese: "I am so excited to be rescued by the motherland." There were twenty-seven people on our small freighter. The captain's fate is unknown. ”

He had already noticed the other party, and when he heard that the other party could speak fluent Mandarin, he immediately said excitedly: "It turns out that you are a Chinese crew member?" ”

The surviving crew nodded vigorously: "Yes." My hometown is in Danhai. ”

His eyes suddenly moistened: "I am also from Danhai." It turns out that we are fellow countrymen. ”

The Chinese crew member was a man in his thirties, and when he heard Wang Baishu claiming to be from Danhai, he couldn't help but stare at him with scrutinizing eyes.

He also saw that the other party was a little familiar, and when the other party looked at him carefully, he was even more sure that the other party might be his acquaintance, so he took the initiative to introduce him: "My name is Wang Baishu, are you familiar with me?" ”

"Is your wife's name Chen Yanfang?"

He looked at the other party in amazement: "How do you know?" ”

"She's my cousin. You are my cousin-in-law. My name is Liang Xiaogang. Don't you remember? ”

Wang Baishu suddenly remembered him, and couldn't help shaking hands with him tightly: "When I fell in love with your cousin, I had a few encounters with you. You were a teenager at the time. Since I married Fangfang, I haven't met you again. I seem to have heard that you have obtained the qualification of a crew member, how can you serve a foreign freighter? ”

Liang Xiaogang sighed: "After I attended your wedding with my cousin, I went abroad to work. Although I occasionally go back to Danhai, I don't meet you every time. Because you're also away from home for a long time. I really didn't expect that we would meet in such a special place after more than ten years. ”

At this time, he had completely forgotten about the problem with his wife, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "The soldiers mentioned you to me." It's a pity that every time you go back to Danhai, you happen to catch me out on a mission. ”

Liang Xiaogang sighed: "Yes." The last time I saw your son, he was twelve years old, and he was so good at school, he was quite cute. ”

When he heard this, he couldn't help but show a guilty expression in his eyes, recalling that when his son was growing up, he almost didn't care and asked, and everything depended on his wife's care and education alone.

Liang Xiaogang was still immersed in excitement, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Cousin-in-law, I really didn't expect that your life was saved by you." On behalf of these rescued crew members, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. ”

He shook his head slightly: "You don't want to thank me. If you want to talk about gratitude, thank the motherland. ”

Liang Xiaogang nodded: "I have been in the sea for an hour, and I am already exhausted, when I see your ship sailing by, and the five-star red flag of the motherland is fluttering on it." I am filled with excitement and encourage my colleagues to hold on until you come to our rescue. ”

When the first mate next to him heard this, he couldn't help but show a ashamed expression.

He was embarrassed to listen any longer, and while Wang Baishu was talking to the rescued compatriot, he immediately organized the crew to settle the rescued crew members of other nationalities.

Liang Xiaogang sent a request to him at this time: "Cousin-in-law, in order to save us, our captain ordered us to jump into the sea and escape for our lives just before the shipwreck. He himself held out until the moment the ship sank. He and some of his colleagues are still missing, so please do your best to rescue them. ”

Wang Baishu gently patted him on the shoulder: "Xiaogang, please rest assured." We also have six smaller boats below us that are expanding their range for search and rescue. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will give 100% of our efforts. ”

Wang Baishu knew that he had been struggling on the sea for a long time and must be very tired, so he immediately arranged for him to go to the dormitory in the cabin to rest. He and the first mate continued to organize forces for search and rescue.

After more than an hour of search and rescue. They also managed to rescue five crew members who had fallen overboard, and recovered the bodies of two victims. However, the fate of the captain and two other crew members has been unknown.

While he sighed, he also felt a trace of comfort in his heart. It was precisely because of his decisive actions that he saved the lives of twenty-two crew members, and he also inadvertently saved his cousin Liang Xiaogang.

The freighter drifted in that area for a day before it came across a professional rescue vessel. He had been delayed for almost two days, and he did not dare to linger any longer, and after handing over those rescued crew members to professional rescue vessels, he was about to embark on his journey.

When Liang Xiaogang broke up with him, he said: "Cousin-in-law, I will return to China soon." When I meet my cousin, I will definitely thank her. ”

After Wang Baishu said this, he realized that there was his wife's cousin among the people he rescued. However, his relationship with his wife has reached a very delicate point. Perhaps God arranged for him to save his wife's relatives, which gave him a chance to buffer his relationship with his wife. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

When his freighter finally arrived in the Red Sea, it was only half a day behind the deadline for that shipment. Thanks to his extensive sailing experience, the ship was able to reach its destination in the shortest possible time.

This port is the Chenwa Port in Africa, and it is also an important port in North Africa. Because of its location on the Red Sea, it is also a transport hub.

When he went ashore to hand over the cargo, he attributed his late arrival to rescuing the crew of the sunken freighter in the Indian Ocean, and he was forgiven. In fact, the rescue of more than 20 crew members on his freighter has become a beautiful talk at home and abroad.

He seemed very comfortable, he did a good thing, and did not bring any losses to the company, which should be the most ideal result.

The first mate admired him so much that he dragged him to dine at a Chinese restaurant near the port.

He couldn't refuse, so he had a drink with the first mate.

During the banquet, the first mate told Wang Baishu that he had a relative in China who made a living here, and asked him if he was familiar with the country.

As an ocean-going captain, Wang Baishu has traveled to almost all ports around the world. When I heard the first mate ask if he was familiar with this country in the midst of civil war, he suddenly thought that his old classmate Jiang Wanrong was lecturing locally.

It is undeniable that Jiang Wanrong, as the school flower of the class of 94, is also one of the crushes, and there are still some movements under Professor Ye's door. She also has WeChat contact with her wife.
