Chapter 504 Rescue, Stone: I Am Not Clean Anymore (1/2)
Li Duoyu frowned. After the kerosene lamp on the small fishing boat went out, he never lit it again.
Even if the other party changed the kerosene, it should have been changed. In this situation, there is a high probability that something happened to the other party.
But it would be very dangerous for them to rescue people in such a dark night with strong winds and waves.
Chen Wenchao and Shitou both looked at him, waiting for him, the boss of the ship, to make up his mind. After all, when going to sea, everything had to be decided by the boss of the ship.
In such bad weather, Li Duoyu didn't have much time to think, only about ten seconds.
Li Duoyu had already made up his mind: "Xiao Chao, is this net finished?"
Chen Wenchao replied: "I just finished it."
Li Duoyu said straightforwardly: "Don't pull the next net. Just cut the connecting rope and pull it back from the other end later."
"Okay, got it."
After hearing this, Chen Wenchao took out his fish knife and cut the rope connecting the next piece of sticky net, and threw it back into the sea.
But the rain was too heavy and the wind and waves were strong.
Under the illumination of searchlights, Chen Wenchao and Shitou stared at the dark sea with wide eyes.
We arrived at the location where the accident occurred on the small fishing boat. As soon as we arrived, we saw various foam floats scattered on the sea, as well as net ropes and sticky nets.
Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao dragged him to the side of the boat, and at the same time lowered the ladder of the fishing boat to let him climb up.
"You two, hold on tight, don't fall off." After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he turned the bow of the boat and drove in the direction where the kerosene lamp went out just now.
Under the powerful searchlight of the fishing boat.
The fisherman who was rescued could not even walk after getting on the deck.
You can't say whether the boat was capsized or capsized. The side with barnacles is the bottom of the boat. Now the side with barnacles on top means the boat capsized or was capsized upside down.
Everyone really couldn't see clearly what was there. When Li Duoyu drove the fishing boat over, he discovered that there was a person among the floating balls.
At such a close distance, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao heard his voice. They really didn't know how Shi Shi could hear it from so far away.
Because the waves are so big, once they are taken away by the ocean currents, no one can be found in the vast sea.
The fishing boat rides on the white-headed waves. Every time it goes down, the bottom of the boat will hit the sea hard, and the people on the boat will also feel like they are falling.
Although it is true that pirates were rampant in the past few years and cast a shadow over the majority of fishermen, when encountering a real situation, everyone will still try their best to help.
But Li Duoyu still listened to his opinion, and the fishing boat made a half-turn to the right. As a result, everyone discovered that a large white spot appeared not far ahead, with four or five floating balls tied together.
After seeing these things, Li Duoyu's fishing boat did not dare to get closer in such windy and rough weather.
The sight is really bad.
Shi Shi said it very cryptically, but to the fishermen, they understood it instantly. After all, there are still many taboos about going to sea.
The whole person was huddled on the deck, his eyes were wide open, his whole body was shaking constantly, his teeth were chattering up and down, making a clicking sound.
If you really choose to die without saving someone because of this danger, then you will not be able to pass the test of conscience. The next time you worship Mazu, you will be embarrassed to ask her for blessings.
Li Duoyu immediately took off the wet and cold clothes on his body, leaving a pair of briefs for him, and then rolled him up with a quilt, but even so, he was still shaking and his breathing became harder and harder. Coming more and more urgently.
The fishermen in their area used to help each other, which is also related to their belief in Mazu. After all, Mazu always rescues for free.
Shitou frowned and said, "Brother Yu, what's going on? Everyone has been rescued, why are you still shaking like this?"
Not long after.
This is a very bad situation for fishermen. Once something like this happens in this kind of weather, the hope of survival is very slim.
"Xiaochao, Shitou, please move him into the cab first."
The skin is no longer the normal color, nor is it the pale white color after being soaked in sea water, but the blue-purple color that only appears when there is hypothermia.
He held on to the ropes on both sides of the float with both hands. When the waves went down, he held on to the rope with both hands.
Li Duoyu in the cab didn't hear anything, and neither did Chen Wenchao who was on the deck.
The only thing Li Duoyu can do now is to sail around in a circle, try his luck, or pray for a miracle to happen to him.
Shitou said nervously: "Brother Yu, I saw the boat. It's on the right side, and the side with barnacles is on top."
When the waves went up, he used his buoyancy to wave to them and shouted with all his strength: "I'm here.
Please help me. "
His body rose and fell with the waves. Because the waves were so big, he couldn't hold the round floating ball firmly.
Accurately placed next to the fisherman, the other party also gave up the floating balls, ducked his head directly through the lifebuoy, and then hugged him tightly.
After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he immediately came to the driver's seat and took out a quilt after the man was moved in.
If the propeller catches these net ropes and sticky nets, the fishing boat will also lose power and it will become quite dangerous.
Li Duoyu was turning the bow of the boat. Shitou pricked up his ears and listened, then suddenly looked to the right side of the fishing boat.
Seeing the nets scattered everywhere, everyone couldn't help but become nervous. It was certain that something had happened to the ship just now.
"Brother Yu, I think I heard a sound, look to the right."
The fisherman in the sea had just finished speaking when he was swallowed by the waves again. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak at all.
Chen Wenchao and Shitou, who had little experience in rescuing people, saw the man they had just rescued and panicked so much that they didn't know what to do.
It can only be said that the difference between people is really big. After seeing that person, Li Duoyu directly used a bamboo pole to pick up the lifebuoy with a rope.
Li Duoyu frowned. In such cold weather, this person is very likely to be between moderate and severe hypothermia.
If no active intervention is taken, it will continue like this. Even if he is rescued, he may still die from hypothermia.
And now there is really only one way to save this person. Li Duoyu didn't believe the scene in "Myth" where people stick together to keep warm.
But when facing people who are suffering from hypothermia, if you take off your clothes, it can indeed be a long-lasting warm baby.
If there were no other options, Li Duoyu might have acted as a human warmer, but aren't there two other people now?
Li Duoyu smiled at Chen Wenchao and Shitou: "I'll give you a chance, do you want to save people?"
Shitou, who was more forthright, said: "Of course."
"Okay, take off your shirt, get into the quilt, and hug this big brother."
After hearing this, Shitou was petrified on the spot, his mouth opened wide: "Brother Yu, is there no other way?"
"There are many ways, such as putting a hot water bag, or a kettle full of hot water, but we don't have boiling water now. By the time we boil the water, the person will probably be dead."
Although Shitou was reluctant, he still took off his shirt and hugged this person who was freezing cold.
"Fuck."
"This person is as cold as ice."
Shitou would never have thought that the first time he was hugging someone in his life was a man, which made him feel that he had become unclean.
Li Duoyu took the opportunity to boil a pot of water so that he could give it to the fisherman.
When Li Duoyu looked at him carefully, he found that this face seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
At this moment, Chen Wenchao said: "Brother Yu, this person seems to be from Shangqi Village. We seemed to have seen him when we went fishing at the estuary two years ago."
Li Duoyu looked at the fisherman in front of him in shock and couldn't help blurting out: "Old Tang."
The fisherman who was shivering constantly was also shocked at this time. How did he know that his last name was Tang?
But now his brain really couldn't think about these things and feel the constant warmth coming from that person.
Now he couldn't even say thank you. After a while, the fisherman who was rescued obviously stopped shivering.
And Shitou, whose face was as pale as paper, quickly got out of the "bed" because just now, he found that a strange thing hit him.
Shitou gritted his teeth. Although he was extremely unhappy, he didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter, otherwise his innocence would be gone. After about ten minutes, the rescued fisherman's mouth stopped trembling, and he thanked everyone in a weak voice.
"Thank you."
"Thank you for saving me."
What everyone didn't expect was that after observing the surroundings, the fisherman knelt in front of Li Duoyu and others with all his strength, and begged with snot and tears:
"Please, my brother is still in the sea. Before the boat turned over, he was tied with ropes. He is better at swimming than me, and he may still be alive. Can you save him?"
After hearing this, Li Duoyu hesitated. If the boat turned upside down, there is a chance that people can survive on the bottom of the upside-down boat.
Because as long as the upside-down fishing boat does not sink, there is still a small amount of air underneath, which can allow people to survive for a certain period of time.
When faced with this request, Li Duoyu was really in a dilemma, because this rescue work exceeded the difficulty of his rescue.
The only person who could save the man on the boat was probably Chen Wenchao, who was the best swimmer, but in such a big storm.
Even Chen Wenchao, who is the best swimmer, has to face great danger. As the captain of the boat, Li Duoyu does not intend to let him take this risk.
"I'm sorry."
But just as Li Duoyu finished speaking, Chen Wenchao took a deep breath and said, "Brother Yu, I want to save him."
He was also a person who had experienced life and death. When he swam from the open sea, the despair of living a life worse than death would still give him nightmares from time to time.
He was particularly familiar with the despair of being trapped in the dark, and his grandma also said that he was able to come back alive because of the blessing of Mazu.
Since then, he planned to be a good person and a brave person. He could not sit idly by when facing the situation.
Seeing Chen Wenchao take the initiative to stand up, Li Duoyu did not say anything and could only respect his choice, but before going down to save people.
Li Duoyu asked him to take off his clothes and tied a simple five-point safety knot for him, so that he could be pulled back in the first time even if there was danger.
Li Duoyu said seriously:
"I'll give you five minutes. When the time is up, no matter what the result is, we will pull you back."
"Okay."
After taking off his clothes, Chen Wenchao, shivering all over, stood in the heavy rain for a while, then patted his chest.
He roared to the sky, took a fish knife in his right hand, jumped off the fishing boat, and swam towards the upside-down fishing boat.
Li Duoyu, who was standing by the boat, kept looking at the watch on his left hand. At this moment, five minutes seemed to pass very slowly.
Shitou was also very nervous. He kept staring at the thin hemp rope that kept entering the water. After about a minute, the hemp rope stopped moving.
It was quiet like this for nearly two minutes.
Three minutes had passed since Chen Wenchao entered the sea. Li Duoyu said nervously: "Don't wait five minutes, start pulling back in four minutes."
"good."
Shitou was already holding the hemp rope with both hands and started counting down.
"59"
"58"
When he counted to 20, the hemp rope seemed to continue to pull down. Shitou was surprised and said: "Brother Chao seems to be pulling the rope."
Li Duoyu said on the spot: "Pull."
He also helped pull it up. When the two of them pulled it, they could clearly feel that the end of the rope was very heavy, as if they had caught a big fish.
The two of them pulled hard for about a minute, and Li Duoyu was the first to see a naked figure.
And in his arms, there was someone holding him tightly like an octopus.
See this behind the scenes.
The two finally understood why it was so heavy when they pulled. They were not just pulling two adults, because the man was wrapped with several soaked fishing nets.
No wonder it's so heavy.
When Chen Wenchao surfaced, he was instantly shivering when blown by the sea breeze. He felt that the temperature inside the sea was much higher than that on the surface.
"Brother Yu, this man is still alive."
Seeing the man hugging Chen Wenchao tightly, Li Duoyu was really glad that he had just tied a knot and tied a rope before letting him go to save people.
Li Duoyu, who has lived for two lives, can be considered well-informed. When rescuing people in the water, the most dangerous thing is the person being rescued.
Because they are in extreme fear and pain, at that time, the instinct to survive is often greater than rationality. Some will cling to the person who saves them, and some will keep pushing the person who saves them into the water to let them go. Float up on your own.
Li Duoyu and Shitou quickly pulled the two people up and cleaned up the sticky net hanging on the man.
This was a young man about Qingguang's age, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, but what surprised everyone.
The second young man who was rescued had been in the water for longer, but his condition was much better than that of "Old Tang".
Although his whole body continued to tremble, he did not suffer from hypothermia.
It was this young man who seemed to be frightened. After getting on the boat, he vomited a few mouthfuls of sea water and burst into tears uncontrollably. While crying, he shouted: "Fuck you, I will never go fishing again." ”
"Oh oh oh, my brother is gone."
"Old Tang", who was still wrapped in a quilt, stood up tremblingly and cursed back: "Without you, you are such a big-headed idiot, your brother, I would still be alive and well."
When their eyes meet.
The second little fisherman who was rescued cried harder, but this time he cried with a smile: "Brother, you are still alive."
Not long after.
The two men took off their clothes and wrapped themselves in quilts to keep each other warm. The two brothers kept thanking Li Duoyu and the three of them.
"Thank you so much. If we hadn't met you, we two brothers would really be doomed."
Li Duoyu smiled and asked: "Brother, are you Tang Weiquan from Shangqi Village?"
The first fisherman who was rescued had a look of surprise on his face. He wanted to ask just now if this person knew him.
"you know me?"
Li Duoyu smiled: "The year before last, you drove us away from the estuary, do you remember?"
After hearing this, Tang Weiquan was stunned for a while, and then said in surprise: "You can't be Li Duoyu from Xiasha Village on Dandan Island, Director Li."
This time it was Li Duoyu's turn to be surprised.
"You know me?"
Tang Weiquan nodded, and then explained that the news that Li Duoyu and the others made a lot of money fishing at the estuary reached Shangqi Village.
They let Li Duoyu and the others go like this that time. After they returned, they were scolded by the captain.
Later, I saw him several times in the newspaper, and then I learned about Li Duoyu.
"So this is ah."
After Li Duoyu boiled the hot water, he mixed some cold water and gave it to the two brothers to drink directly.
Without saying a few words, Tang Weiquan thanked everyone again: "Thank you so much. If I hadn't met you tonight, I would really be..."
"It can be considered fate."
Li Duoyu sighed, and then said seriously: "There were such big winds and waves before, why didn't you return to Hong Kong?"
The two brothers were very ashamed. Tang Weiquan regretted and said, "It's all down to me. I'm greedy. To tell you the truth, you can catch a lot of shrimps here in Qixing Bay. I just thought about catching one more net and then go back. Unexpectedly , encountered this kind of weather.”
Tang Weiquan was really embarrassed to say that he didn't go back because he was worried that his fishing net would be stolen by them. (End of chapter)
