On a reef about 10 nautical miles from Dandan, two men were lying on a rock.

The moon on the second day of the first month only has a crooked crescent, but the starlight is very bright.

The two were very sleepy, and their eyelids kept fighting, but they didn't dare to close their eyes and sleep, because the pants on their lower bodies were all wet.

The lips are dry to cracking, the body is severely dehydrated, and the limbs have already been numb from the cold, and once you fall asleep, it is very likely that you will not wake up.

But even in such a situation, they still have the strength to quarrel and scold each other.

"Liu Mazi, you are a waste, you don't even know the sea route, so you dare to take me out to take the goods."

Liu Mazi scolded back: "I asked you to sit on the bow of the boat to see if there was a reef in front of you, why didn't you see it." ”

"Look at the ghost! There are all reefs nearby, where can you see it, you are not taking me to take the goods, you are taking me to die. ”

"Fuck your uncle." Chen Liang directly punched Liu Mazi in the face.

"You're hitting me in the face again."

Liu Mazi kicked Chen Liang's crotch back.

"Where are you kicking?" Chen Liang scolded angrily: "I saw that you were very sleepy, and I was afraid that you would die of sleep, so I beat you." ”

"I saw you were also sleepy to kick you."

Trapped on the reef for the past two days, the two don't know how many punches they have punched each other, one is to make each other angry, and the other is afraid that the other party will really sleep to death.

"Save some effort, now Company Commander Zhang is also trapped on the side of Dongjia, and someone will come to save us soon."

Liu Mazi looked at the bright light on the reef not far away, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered: "It's so cold, I really want to make a fire." ”

"If I also have a fire, I really want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, if I can go back alive, I will definitely not mix, and go out to sea with my father to fish."

Liu Mazi said lightly:

"If I can go back, I don't plan to stay on Dandan Island anymore, I want to go to the city to work."

"Xiaoliang, I'm really cold, I can't stand it anymore, you punch me."

"I don't have the strength to fight."

Chen Liang's teeth also began to chatter and said, "Who is not cold, why don't we take off our clothes, wrap them outside, and warm our bodies." ”

"Damn, you're not disgusting."

"Martial arts, it's all written like this."

"Everyone is a man and a woman, and we are all men."

The pier in Xiasha Village.

Li Duoyu called the relevant personnel and those who had the ability to rescue all to the side to discuss.

At present, there are four people trapped, namely Liu Mazi, Chen Liang, Zhang Lian Chang and Wei Guo.

Although Company Commander Zhang and the others also ran aground, because they were relatively close to the main reef of Dongjia, the two swam directly over.

It's not very dangerous at the moment.

Zhao Dahai said: "I hid some fresh water, food and firewood on the island with Erniu, and Xiaojun said that when I saw a fire on the side of Dongjia Reef, it should be Company Commander Zhang and they found those things we hid, and it should not be very dangerous at present." ”

Li Duoyu nodded: "Company Commander Zhang and Weiguo, there shouldn't be much of a problem, when the tide is full, you can go to the island and pick them up." ”

Company Commander Zhang and Weiguo's family members were instantly relieved when they heard Li Duoyu say this.

"Fortunately, your brother has something hidden on it, otherwise it would be difficult to survive in the winter when the clothes are wet."

Chen Yuzhu said with red eyes:

"Our Liu Hao's clothes must also be wet, they have been trapped for two days, it is estimated that they can't hold on, now Company Commander Zhang and they are fine, village director, you have to hurry up and save Liu Hao and them first."

Zhang Jinfeng knelt down on the spot: "Village director, we are this one son, you have to find a way to save him." ”

Li Duoyu frowned, the most dangerous thing now is indeed Liu Mazi and Chen Liang.

If you don't drink water or eat for two days, you won't necessarily die, but many shipwrecks are not starved to death or drowned, most of them die of hypothermia.

In this kind of winter, once hypothermia begins, people will soon be unable to move, which will eventually lead to death.

Especially in the middle of the night, the temperature is very likely to drop to single digits, and tonight is definitely a test of life and death for those two people.

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was useless to worry now, so it was better to consider the rescue plan first.

There were no drawings at the scene, so Li Duoyu directly took a piece of charcoal from the stove near the dock and drew it on the concrete floor.

After a while, the geographical location of the main reef and the affiliated reef of the entire East Katara Reef was drawn, and many small circles were drawn between the two islands and reefs.

Li Duoyu pointed to one of the big circles and said, "If that's right, Liu Mazi and Chen Liang should be trapped here." ”

When Li Duoyu drew this simple nautical chart, everyone came to watch.

The fishermen of Dandan Island have always been afraid of the East Katar Reef, and they only dare to release their nets on its periphery, but they do not dare to approach it at all.

Looking at the simple nautical chart drawn by Li Duoyu, a fisherman was surprised: "Duoyu, those small circles can't be reefs." ”

Li Duoyu nodded: "Well, these circles are all large, more dangerous reefs. ”

After seeing the nautical chart near Dongjia Reef, Uncle Li Niantian said a little excitedly: "Duoyu, don't erase it yet, I'll go home and get a pen and paper to draw it." ”

The onlookers praised one after another: "This is a good thing, everyone will definitely use it in the future." ”

The Zhao family brothers smiled bitterly.

If Li Duoyu shares this thing, Dongjia Reef will not be their brother's backyard in the future.

In this era when there were no nautical chart equipment, except for some simple paper charts, experience was generally relied upon.

However, because the East Reef is too dangerous, no one has been willing to draw a chart near the East Reef for so many years.

After the uncle brought the pen and paper, Li Duoyu continued: "Within a radius of one nautical mile of Dongjia Reef, there are many shallow waters, reefs and shipwrecks. ”

Li Duoyu pointed to the circle that trapped Liu Mazi and Chen Liang and said:

"The place where they are trapped has a dry reef, which is exposed to the sea all year round, but there are all reefs nearby, and if the big ship passes, it will run aground 100 percent, and only the small boat can pass."

"On the east side of this reef, when the tide is low, the average depth is only about 1.5 meters, and once the tide starts to recede, the boat can't go."

After speaking, Li Duoyu drew a big fork in that sea area with charcoal.

Zhao Dahai scratched his head and asked, "Brother Yu, is the place where you crossed the fork last time I was trapped with Erniu." ”

Li Duoyu replied:

"That's right, that's it, under normal circumstances, you can't go over, and it just so happened that the astronomical tide of that day caught up with you."

Zhao Dahai suddenly realized:

"No wonder we couldn't find the stone later, it turned out to be in the sea."

Seeing that Li Duoyu was so familiar with that sea area, the villagers present were very surprised.

"Village chief, why are you so familiar with Dongjiajiao?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly:

"It was here that Agui and I earned our first pot of gold, otherwise where would we have the capital to sell the goods."

One of the villagers suddenly said:

"I remember, at that time, there were people on the next island who came to complain, saying that you extorted a sum of money from them and collected more than ten silver dollars from others."

Li Duoyu has a black face:

"Don't mention the past, I've already been good now."

One of the villagers laughed and said:

"I still remember your old blast head."

"I remember too."

Seeing that Li Duoyu was so familiar with this sea area, Liu Mazi and Chen Liang's families were also relieved.

"It's still our village director who is reliable."

But right now.

Li Duoyu suddenly looked at Liu Mazi and Chen Liang's family, and said with a serious face: "By the way, I will tell you something in advance." ”

"This rescue is quite difficult, and it will take a lot of people, whether it is successful or not, both of you will get the money for this rescue."

After hearing this.

Chen Yuzhu was dumbfounded on the spot: "Village director, didn't you confiscate the money from the people you saved in our village before, why do we have to collect money when you get there." ”

"The people in our village are in trouble at sea, and they don't all help each other, so how can there be such a thing as collecting money."

The uncle also frowned, just like Chen Yuzhu said, fishermen who don't know each other when they encounter difficulties at sea, they all help each other, let alone the villagers.

After so many years of fishing, he doesn't know how many fishing boats with broken engines he has helped pull back to port, and at most he will collect some diesel money from others.

After so many years of fishing, their fishing boats have also broken down at sea, and they have also been pulled back to port by other fishing boats.

Helping each other at sea can be said to be a tacit understanding among fishermen, to put it bluntly, everyone is imperceptibly influenced by Mazu Niangniang.

But do good deeds, don't ask for reward!

Li Niantian frowned and said: "Duoyu, I think the matter of money, let's talk about it later, it feels a little inappropriate to talk about it now." ”

The onlookers also said: "I also think that what Captain Li said is right, it is important to save people first." ”

What everyone didn't expect was that Li Duoyu said resolutely: "No, this time is different." ”

Chen Yuzhu looked puzzled:

"Why is it different?"

Li Duoyu sneered: "Can it be the same, why, our group of people have to take such a big risk to save two unruly people?" ”

The villagers fell silent, and everyone realized that the situation of these two people was indeed quite special.

Zhao Dahai echoed: "Today's matter, I support the village director, this head must not be opened, if we save them for free today, will the pirates run aground in the future, and we will also save them for free?" ”

Chen Yuzhu's eyes were red: "Everyone is from the same village, and they are all just children, maybe they just want to go out to play." ”

Zhao Erniu cut his voice and couldn't help scolding: "If you want to say that, I'm also a child, can I just drive everyone's fishing boat out to play." ”

The villagers looked at Chen Yuzhu and shook their heads and sighed, Liu Mazi had done a lot of bad things in the village, and they had all come to find Chen Yuzhu, but this woman was too protective of the calf, and in the end, it was all over.

Mothers are so defeated!

What Liu Mazi stole the boat out to do on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone knows very well, but he is too lazy to puncture.

Seeing that Chen Yuzhu still wanted to say, Liu Mazi and his father shouted: "You can't say a few words, people are willing to help, and they are already very face-saving, don't you think that the village director really lacks that money?" ”

Zhang Jinfeng hurriedly said: "Lao Liu is right, I also support Director Li, we are indeed wrong in this matter, no matter how much money it is, we are willing to pay it." ”

Chen Yuzhu gritted her teeth unwillingly, but when she thought that the child had been on the reef for two days and two nights, there might be problems at any time.

"Then we'll go out too, how much will it cost?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while.

"Regardless of whether the rescue is successful or not, everyone who participates in the rescue is all thirty yuan, and the fuel for this rescue is also paid by you."

Hearing that each person only needed thirty yuan, Liu Mazi and Chen Liang's family breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that Li Duoyu wanted the lion to open his mouth, but he didn't want to rescue the price, which was not particularly high, and they could afford it.

The Zhao brothers looked at each other and smiled, originally they had no enthusiasm at all to rescue Liu Mazi, if it weren't for Li Duoyu's face, they really didn't want to save people.

But now, you can make sixty dollars in one night.

That's pretty cool, too.

Sure enough, it's good to follow Brother Yu.

"Yes, we accept the price."

After seeing that the families of both sides agreed, Li Duoyu continued to discuss the rescue plan with everyone.

In fact, when encountering a fishing boat that loses power and runs aground on the sea, he will also rescue it for free without hesitation.

It's just that the situation of these two people is more special, today Company Commander Zhang and they are just lucky, they are closer to the main reef of Dongjia when they hit the reef, if they are farther away, it is estimated that they are more dangerous than Liu Mazi and Chen Liang.

Saving people can have.

But be self-aware.

First of all, before the rescue, the first thing to ensure is the safety of the rescuers.

In his previous life, Li Duoyu had seen too many people, but because he saved people, he drowned.

It's not that his behavior is bad, it's just that as an adult, you must have a clear understanding of yourself, and you must consider the consequences before doing anything.

Blindly saving others is not only irresponsible for yourself, but after death, the honor you get is just a harm to your family.

Like the kind of dead travelers, who are trapped in no man's land by car, and Liu Mazi, who steals boats to carry goods, must be charged fiercely.

In fact, Li Duoyu is not short of this money at all, and the reason why he wants to do this is to give a warning effect.

I hope that in the future, the villagers will think clearly before doing things, and don't cause trouble to others at every turn.

And Li Duoyu hates moral kidnapping the most, why, just because I am more familiar with that area, I have to take the risk to save people.

Li Duoyu looked at his watch, it was now nine o'clock in the evening, and the tide would probably be low to about twelve o'clock.

During this time period, whether it is a big ship or a small boat, it is impossible to get close to the area where Liu Mazi and Chen Liang are trapped.

The best time to rescue is when the tide is high, which is around 5 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Hearing that he would not save people until five o'clock tomorrow morning, Zhang Jinfeng said anxiously:

"Director Li, can't you just be earlier, I'm worried that Xiaoliang and they won't be able to hold on tonight."

Chen Yuzhu also said: "Jin Feng is right, tomorrow morning, it will be really too late." ”

Li Duoyu glanced at the two families and said:

"Let's just do this, if you really don't feel at ease, we can drive a big ship over first, drop anchor in a safe sea area first, and we can use the searchlights and binoculars of the big ship to check the specific situation of the two of them."

Zhang Jin hurriedly nodded.

"I think this is good, and when the time comes, we will also pay for the big ship."

Li Duoyu asked, "Uncle, what do you think?" ”

Li Niantian replied: "Yes, but I'm not familiar with that area, and at night, there is no reference, so you may have to open it." ”

"Yes."

Li Duoyu continued: "Then let's just do this, let's tentatively arrange a big boat and two small motor boats to go over to save people." ”

"The people who participated in the rescue this time are, Chen Wenchao, me, Xiaojun, Zhao Dahai, Zhao Erniu, as well as my uncle Li Niantian and doctor Zhang Defa, a total of seven people."

"When the time comes, let Defa bring medicine, and if there is a problem, rescue immediately."

Li Duoyu asked, "No problem." ”

The people who were called by name replied, "No problem." ”

"Okay, let's go home and get ready, and when it's almost eleven o'clock, we'll leave on time."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Jinfeng kept thanking: "Then I'll go home first and prepare supper for you." ”
