Chapter Eighty-Seven: All Hands Are Safe (Seeking Follow-up)
The boat capsized, but Li Duoyu unexpectedly found that his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing and them were all right.
Five or six people hugging each other.
Each of them had a float strapped to them, and it rose and fell with the waves, and two of them were only pulling on a rope of hot kelp that had not yet been pulled.
That's why they didn't let the waves blow away.
Seeing that they were all right, Li Duoyu was also very excited, and hurriedly drove the boat over and pulled the person up from the sea.
After pulling to the boat, Li Duoyu found that all of them were cold with cold hands and feet, and their faces were as pale as paper.
After all, the sea temperature on Dandan Island in early March is more than ten degrees Celsius.
If a person is immersed in seawater at such a temperature for too long, it can easily cause hypothermia in the body, which can lead to death.
In fact, after the shipwreck, some people were not drowned, but soaked in the sea for a long time and died due to hypothermia.
Like the Titanic, as well as the Dashun back then, such accidents also occurred.
Among these people, the brother-in-law Chen Dongqing has the worst physique, his limbs are frozen hard, and his hands can't be opened at all like chicken feet.
The glasses were also sent to the sea, and the whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
But that mouth was very hard, trembling, and scolded: "The king cannon of the dog day...... After Lao Tzu...... Kill it...... Regardless of his kelp. ”
Li Duoyu hurriedly took off his coat, draped it on him, and warmed him up first, and then immediately drove the fishing boat back to the port.
And after Li Duoyu pulled everyone back to the pier, the fishermen who were waiting at the pier cheered.
The families of the rescued fishermen knelt down for Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao on the spot.
Seeing this, Li Duoyu hurriedly helped people up, but at this moment, he found that in the crowd, Chen Huiying and Zhou Xiaoying were looking at him directly.
The eyes are red.
Lao Li also stood aside and smoked, and there were already many cigarette holders on the ground.
After seeing Li Duoyu supporting Chen Dongqing, who was trembling all over, the second elder also knew that the situation was not good, and immediately ran over to help.
After helping people home.
Lao Li took off Chen Dongqing's wet clothes for the first time, then wrapped him in a quilt, and then lit a stove.
A-Niang boiled a pot of boiling water for him.
Ten minutes later, my uncle Chen Dongqing finally recovered from his unstable state, but I didn't think that a person who was almost thirty years old cried as soon as he recovered:
"Almost died."
"I still have a wife, and my daughter is so cute."
After crying, Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu gratefully, and said with red eyes: "If you don't have you today, I guess I really won't survive, and I owe you my life this time." ”
"Whatever, it's okay if people are fine."
"You scold me now, and I think it sounds good."
Li Duoyu: ......
Listening to his uncle, it turned out that he couldn't get used to Wang Dacang ruining the kelp like that, so he helped these workers adjust the kelp water layer together, so he didn't rush back.
I didn't expect to encounter such extreme weather.
Originally, as soon as the storm came, they planned to go straight back to the docks.
I don't know where the strange waves came from, and in an instant they pushed their fishing boat into the kelp field, and the oars of the diesel engine were tied to the kelp rope.
As a result, they couldn't get out in time, which is why these things happened later.
And because of this experience, the uncle also solved the mystery of the ship always capsized before the bad water stall.
To be precise, it was not the waves that capsized their fishing boat, but the swells in the sea, something completely different from the waves.
Waves are caused by the sea breeze and are present on the surface of the sea, and their origin is consistent with the direction of the wind.
The swelling is caused by many factors, such as undersea earthquakes, monsoons, tides and topography.
This thing looks unremarkable, not as scary as the white-headed waves, but it may be very large.
When the first swell.
At least half of the kelp fields were uprooted, and their fishing boats were pushed into the kelp fields at once.
Seeing that the second surge is coming.
Chen Dongqing felt that this kind of boat was not safe, so he asked everyone to cut the kelp rope and tie the floating ball on the rope to himself as a life jacket.
Immediately afterwards, everyone tied up and jumped into the sea, which was the only way to avoid the danger of capsizing.
After listening.
When Li Duoyu came to the courtyard, he found that the rain was much lighter, the wind had stopped, and the sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone through, forming a trapezoidal pillar of light on the gray and black sea.
I saw that the dark clouds were gradually dissipating.
Li Duoyu came to the dock for the first time, Chen Wenchao was already waiting for him here, and he was also very anxious.
This sudden storm came and went quickly, fortunately, everyone did not have an accident, but it did bring a very serious disaster to Dandan Island.
Of the more than 20 fixed nets, none of them were spared in this special weather.
Li Duoyu's fishing raft was also seriously damaged, many bamboos were broken, the cages were almost scrapped, and the fish inside were also clean.
This made Chen Wenchao so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
The fish he had saved for a month of hard work had undone a bullshit storm that had wiped out his month's hard work.
This made him very unwilling.
But Li Duoyu didn't know how to comfort him.
Because next,
He had to comfort himself.
His thirty acres of kelp field were also affected, although not as serious as the Wang brothers, but they also pulled out more than 30 piles.
A lot of kelp, more than two meters long, broke away from the kelp rope and scattered on the surface of the sea.
Li Duoyu is estimated to have a one-fifth loss.
Originally, he was also very distressed, but when he thought of the annihilation of the Wang family's brother kelp field, Li Duoyu instantly became psychologically balanced.
And in a short time.
The piling master did not have time to come over to repair the pile, and he had no piling equipment to save the kelp field, so he could only drive a boat to the dock to carry the stones that no one wanted.
There are many ways to fix kelp fields, and staking is just one of them.
The principle of Li Duoyu's current work is called stone pile, which is simpler than that of wooden piles, which is to use the weight of the stone itself to fix the kelp rope.
However, this was only a stopgap measure, and the stones did not really hold the kelp field.
In their previous life, the stone piles they made were much larger than the stones they carried, and there were thousands of catties of them, and they had to be transported by ships that specialized in transporting stones.
Li Duoyu tied the upholstered stakes and stones together, and then sank into the sea again.
Now, he can only use the weight of the stones to temporarily hold these kelp fields.
......
And the Wang brothers, who were making tea in the reception room of the brigade, were still discussing who to give gifts to, and they didn't know what was happening on the island.
Until a broadcast praising good people and good deeds caught their attention.
"Today, we would like to focus on commending two young people in the village, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao, who risked their lives to save six comrades in our village......"
When the Wang brothers heard this, they immediately came to the radio room and pressed the radio.
"Lao Mao, you blatantly violated organizational discipline at this time, without my approval, why did you broadcast without authorization."
"And what's going on with that Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao, when did they save people, why don't I know?"
And Lao Mao, a middle-aged man in charge of the broadcast in the village, looked at the Wang brothers in front of him, and sneered: "The whole village probably doesn't know that the two of you don't know, the workers who work for your family are almost all dead, and you are still in the mood to make tea and smoke in the office." ”
"Lao Mao, how did you talk."
"Also, tell me more clearly, what the hell is going on?"
"Your feet are on your legs, you won't see them for yourself."
The Wang brothers, who vaguely sensed that something was wrong, drove a boat to their kelp field.
Look at the mess in front of you.
And the upside-down fishing boat.
The two brothers were dumbfounded, Wang Jinjun looked at the fishing boat that had just spent hundreds of dollars to redeem, stumbled twice, and almost fell into the sea.
