304. Chapter 304 Rescue Failure (1/2)

Chapter 304 Rescue failed

Although there were only 100 meters left, this 100 meters was really too difficult for them.

There were reefs and various reefs exposed on the sea all around, and the bottom of the sampan scraped against the reefs from time to time.

Everyone was concentrating, and the forward speed could only be calculated in meters, but no matter how careful everyone was, it was useless.

This small boat was really powerless in the face of nature. A sudden big wave pushed the sampan away from its original position.

Seeing that the stern was about to hit the reef again, Li Duoyu hurriedly lifted the propeller, but it was still a step too late.

Accompanied by a harsh metal friction sound, the hull shook violently.

The people on the boat squatted down instantly and held the hull tightly, so they were not shaken off, but everyone heard the harsh friction sound just now.

After the sampan stabilized.

Everyone looked at the stern and found that the propeller blades that were raised were broken and slightly deformed.

Judging from the situation, it should have hit the reef. After seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but become pessimistic.

Fortunately, Li Duoyu's sampan often goes to places like mudflats, and it is normal to run aground. There are always one or two bamboo poles on the boat.

Although the sampan has lost power, everyone found that bamboo poles seem to be more useful in such a chaotic reef area.

Two people each propped up the sampan and quickly reached the reef.

Lao Liu and Chen Yuanming jumped onto the island reef as soon as possible. After seeing the state of the two people, they didn't know what to do.

Their limbs were as cold as ice, and their faces were bloodless.

Even if they kept calling their names, the two did not respond. Lao Liu and Chen Yuanming carried one on their backs and hurried back to the small sampan.

According to Zhang Defa's medical advice, they took off their wet shoes and pants as soon as possible.

Dry their bodies as soon as possible, then wrap them up with quilts, and place two hot water bottles under their armpits.

After rescuing people,

Li Duoyu flashed a signal light with a flashlight, and the people on the tugboat were all confused when they saw the signal.

Zhao Dahai asked:

"What does this mean?"

Only Li Niantian, who often sailed on the big ship, knew what it meant.

"We rescued people."

"It's safe now."

"Our ship has lost power."

"We may need some help later."

After hearing this, the people on the big fishing boat were all excited, and Chen Yuzhu cried with joy.

Zhang Jinfeng kept praying towards the Tianhou Temple.

Zhao Dahai couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid that only Duoyu in our village can save people in such a ghost place in the middle of the night."

But what puzzled Li Niantian was that the signals he had sent out now exceeded those they had agreed on before.

Some signals were only understood by those boat bosses who often went to the open sea to fish, but how could he be so familiar with them?

When they went back, the tide rose at a very fast speed, and the reef where Liu Mazi and Chen Liang were originally.

Less than two square meters were flooded. After high tide, the waves were no longer so turbulent, but the propeller of the sampan was broken.

When going back.

Everyone could only use bamboo poles to support themselves. Fortunately, in this area, even at high tide, the average depth is estimated to be no more than five meters.

If the bamboo pole is inserted into the sea with force, it can still be inserted to the bottom. The speed is a bit slow, but it can still be out.

It took more than ten minutes.

The sampan finally left this chaotic reef area.

When everyone looked back at this sea area, they found that after the tide rose, it was no different from an ordinary sea.

But there were reefs all underneath, which was simply a natural trap.

If someone who is not familiar with this sea area comes here by boat, the probability of hitting a reef and capsizing is very high.

Chen Wenchao, who was still frightened, couldn't help but complain: "There should be a lot of shipwrecks here."

Li Duoyu nodded. Xiaochao was really right. There are really a lot of shipwrecks here, and there are also a large number of cultural relics.

It is even called:

[China Underwater Site Museum]

Before the country was closed to the outside world, Rongcheng was also a relatively large trading port. In their sea area, there are 11 confirmed archaeological shipwreck sites.

Every year, a large number of ocean-going cargo ships set off from here, loaded with silk and various ceramics, to all parts of the world.

In fact.

The sea area to which Rongcheng belongs is really unfriendly to fishermen. Shipwrecks are the norm. If there is no shipwreck in a fishing village, it is a miracle.

Geologists in later generations said that a long time ago, they were connected with Taiwan.

At that time, you could walk there, but due to the orogeny of the Himalayas and the influence of the ice age, the strait was formed.

This is why there are so many small islands and reefs on their side, and it is also the province with the second largest number of islands in the country.

The harsh fishing environment is also one of the reasons why fishermen believe in Mazu so much, because in this era when there is no sea chart sonar, going out to sea to fish is equivalent to handing your life to God.

Li Duoyu naturally knew the location of the shipwreck of the cultural relics, but it didn't mean much to him.

He really didn't want to do such a thankless task of risking his life to salvage them and hand them over to the country.

And even if he salvaged them now, they might be bought by foreigners after all the tampering.

At that time, if you want to see the cultural relics of your own country, you have to go to the museum of another country. That would be a irony.

After arriving at the safe area.

Not long after.

The Zhao brothers drove a small sampan over and pulled their fishing boat back. Everyone worked together to move Liu Mazi and Chen Liang, who were wrapped in quilts, onto the big fishing boat.

After seeing the conditions of Liu Mazi and Chen Liang, Chen Yuzhu and Zhang Jinfeng couldn't help crying out loud.

They kept calling their names.

But the two never responded.

Village doctor Zhang Defa was also ready. Fortunately, both of them still had heartbeats. He checked the two in the shortest time according to the instructions in the book.

Chen Liang's condition was relatively optimistic. His limbs could still tremble from time to time, his eyes could focus, and he was still conscious.

Although Liu Mazi still had a heartbeat, his pupils were always in a state of relaxation. No matter how he was called, he did not respond, and his exposed skin was a little blue.

Obviously severe hypothermia.

Seeing that Liu Mazi's limbs were so cold, Chen Yuzhu kept rubbing them with her hands, trying to warm him up.

"Old Liu, please help, warm Xiaohao up, maybe he will wake up."

Zhang Defa hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't heat his limbs, it will kill him."

Zhang Defa had read in a book that patients with severe hypothermia will enter a state of self-protection, the body will concentrate warm blood in the core trunk, and heating the limbs will accelerate the return of cold blood to the core area.

After a while, Chen Liang got a little better, and he kept shivering, his lips trembling and shouting "cold."

At this time, Zhang Defa directly asked Chen Liang's family to feed him with warm rice porridge soup to increase his energy.

As for Liu Mazi, who still had a heartbeat but no response, Zhang Defa had no idea how to save him.

For him, this situation was beyond his ability to save, and a hot water bag had been placed in the core area of ​​his body. Logically, the body should warm up slowly, but the heart rate is still slowly decreasing after a while.

Seeing that Chen Liang had woken up, but Liu Hao hadn't woken up yet, Chen Yuzhu was anxious and kept asking Zhang Defa: "What's going on? Chen Liang has woken up, but my Xiaohao hasn't woken up yet."

"Why is this happening?"

Faced with Chen Yuzhu's question, Zhang Defa remained silent because he didn't know how to tell Chen Yuzhu.

In fact, when he beat Chen Liang and pressed Liu Mazi to keep him warm, he had already guessed that this would be the outcome.

However, what made Zhang Defa feel more guilty was that Liu Mazi still had a chance to be rescued, but he didn't have this knowledge in his mind.

It was actually him who really killed Liu Mazi, all because of his incompetence. He was not a professional doctor.

He only learned the basics of hypothermia rescue. If he had learned a complete set of treatment methods after hypothermia.

If he knew the next step and how to rescue, Liu Mazi might still be saved.

But now, they could only watch his heartbeat getting slower and slower, and his body getting colder and colder.

On the other side.

Chen Liang's condition was getting better and better.

When his heartbeat became weaker and weaker, Zhang Defa knelt down and gave Liu Mazi the last treatment.

That was cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

But he pressed for a very long time, and his whole body collapsed to the ground, and Liu Mazi still did not respond at all.

Li Duoyu watched the whole process, Zhang Defa was the kind of person who wrote his expression directly on his face.

Judging from the situation, Liu Mazi should not be saved. Seeing that Zhang Defa could not move, Li Duoyu took over.

He continued to give Liu Mazi cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but his blue face did not improve.

Li Duoyu pressed to the back.

Zhang Defa flipped Liu Mazi's eyelids and said helplessly: "Duoyu, it's no longer necessary."

After hearing this, Chen Yuzhu went crazy, rushed up and hugged Liu Hao tightly, staring at Chen Liang who had improved and could sit up.

"Why, you're fine."

"Our Xiaohao is gone just like that, did you kill him?"

"."

Chen Liang, who had just recovered, had a severe headache, but it was hard for him to accept it for a while after hearing that Liu Hao was gone.

He was just telling people that he was cold, and he was gone just like that.

Seeing that Liu Hao's mother kept blaming him, Chen Liang was also a little confused, maybe it was really his fault.

Not long ago, both of them could still talk, but since he put his hand on Liu Mazi's belly.

He has been shaking.

Then he became very quiet.

Even if she used her body to help him block the sea breeze, Liu Hao never spoke again.

Seeing Chen Yuzhu blaming her own child, Zhang Jinfeng directly protected the child:

"It's your Liu Mazi's physical problem that he can't hold on. Why blame our Xiaoliang."

Chen Yuzhu cried heartbreakingly. She looked around and saw Li Duoyu and blamed him directly.

"If you were willing to rescue people an hour earlier, our Hao'er might be fine."

"Stop making trouble. If you had gone an hour earlier, there would be six people lying here instead of just one."

Old Liu roared.

He also lost his child and was a little overwhelmed now.

In the past, his son did bad things all day long, which always made him lose face. He really wanted to slap him to death.

But he really thought he was dead.

Old Liu's head was buzzing. For a moment, he really couldn't accept this result.

What he regretted most now was that he indulged the child too much. If he had known earlier, he should have beaten him to death when he was learning bad things.

Beat him until he was good!

He also participated in the rescue this time and knew very well how difficult it was.

If he had really told his wife and went to rescue an hour earlier, the four of them would probably be soaking in the water now.

Looking at Chen Yuzhu crying hysterically, Li Duoyu suddenly thought of a woman.

And this scene was very similar to the scene in his previous life when Zhang Meiying blamed him for all the faults after Agui died.

For the fishermen, if someone died while going out to sea together, the survivors would not only bear the guilt for the deceased, but also the hatred of the deceased's family.

Seeing Chen Yuzhu's gnashing expression.

Li Duoyu could guess without even thinking that the relationship between the two families had come to an end, and Chen Yuzhu would also blame Chen Liang for the loss of her son.

Li Duoyu had seen too many such things. In his previous life, several people from their island went out to drink together.

As a result, one person died from drinking.

The family of the deceased sued all the people who participated in the drinking party and demanded compensation from them.

The sky was slightly bright.

The tide was completely full, and when everyone looked at the sea in front of them, they found that it was very calm, as if the dangerous situation before could not happen.

Li Duoyu sighed.

He planned to set up several warning beacons here in a while to remind the fishing boats that needed to be deployed in this sea area.

As the day dawned.

The Zhao brothers drove their sampan boat and, based on their own experience, slowly drove the boat to Dongjia Reef and smoothly brought Captain Zhang and Weiguo back.

When the two got on the big boat, they wanted to scold the two little bastards who stole the boat and then arrest them.

But after seeing Chen Yuzhu, who was crying while holding Liu Mazi, Zhang Erhu glanced at the people on the boat.

Zhang Erhu understood what happened instantly and swallowed back all the curses he was about to say.

They had been frozen on the island for less than a day, and even with a fire, they still felt cold.

Liu Mazi and Chen Liang were on the reef, and there was no place to make a fire, so it would definitely be even colder.

In fact, he was very worried all day long. They would definitely not be able to hold on on the reef, but he thought that they were young people with better physiques and might be able to hold on.

Unexpectedly, one of them left.

After seeing Liu Mazi unable to move, Zhang Erhu suddenly felt a little regretful.

Although he hated Liu Mazi, they were from the same village after all. When he was a child, he didn't seem so bad, and was quite cute.

But he was gone just like that.

Suddenly he felt strange, not very distressed, but just felt that there was an empty space in his heart, and a little guilty.

If he had known about this matter at the beginning, he would have directly notified the village director Li Duoyu or the Zhao brothers, and it would probably not have developed to this point.

In this matter, he was arrogant!

I really wanted to write a plot where they were all rescued and then captured and locked up. That would look very cool, but on second thought, I decided not to write about it and try not to mislead the public. The probability of dying from hypothermia on the reef in the middle of winter is too high. It was really not easy for fishermen in that era.
