Chapter 87 Everyone Is Safe (Please Read)
The boat capsized, but Li Duoyu unexpectedly discovered that his uncle Chen Dongqing and his friends were fine.
Five or six people hugged each other.
Each person had a buoy tied to their body, and they were undulating with the waves. Two people were only holding a hot seaweed rope that had not been pulled out.
This prevented them from being blown away by the waves.
Seeing that they were all fine, Li Duoyu was also very excited. He quickly drove the boat over and pulled the people out of the sea.
After being pulled onto the boat, Li Duoyu found that all of them were frozen with cold hands and feet, and their faces were as pale as paper.
After all, the sea water temperature of Dandan Island in early March was only a little over ten degrees at best.
If people soak in sea water of this temperature for too long, it is easy to cause hypothermia and cause death.
In fact, after the shipwreck, some people were not drowned, but died of hypothermia after soaking in the sea water for a long time.
Like the Titanic, and the Dashun of that year, such accidents also occurred.
Among these people, my uncle Chen Dongqing had the worst physique. His limbs were frozen stiff, and his hands were like chicken claws and could not be opened at all.
His glasses were thrown into the sea, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
But his mouth was very hard, shaking while cursing: "Damn Wang Dapao. I will never care about his kelp in the future... even if I kill him."
Li Duoyu quickly took off his coat and put it on him to warm him up, and then immediately drove the fishing boat back to the port.
After Li Duoyu pulled everyone back to the dock, the fishermen waiting at the dock cheered.
The families of the rescued fishermen knelt down to Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao on the spot.
Li Duoyu saw this and quickly helped the man up, but at this moment, he found that Chen Huiying and Zhou Xiaoying in the crowd were staring at him.
Their eyes were red.
Old Li was also standing aside smoking, and there were many cigarette holders on the ground.
After seeing Li Duoyu supporting the trembling Chen Dongqing, the two elders knew that the situation was not good and ran over to help immediately.
After helping the man home.
Old Li took off Chen Dongqing's wet clothes at the first time, then wrapped him in a quilt, and then lit a stove.
A Niang boiled a pot of water for him.
Ten minutes later, the uncle Chen Dongqing finally recovered from the unstable state, but he didn't expect that the man who was almost 30 years old would cry as soon as he recovered:
"I almost died."
"I still have a wife, and my daughter is still so cute."
After crying, Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu gratefully, and said with red eyes: "If you were not here today, I guess I really wouldn't survive. This time I owe you a life."
"What nonsense are you talking about, it's good that you are fine."
"You scold me now, I think it sounds good."
Li Duoyu: ...
According to the uncle, it turned out that he couldn't stand Wang Dapao's waste of kelp, so he helped these workers to adjust the kelp water layer, so he didn't rush back.
They didn't expect to encounter such extreme weather.
Originally, they planned to go back to the dock directly when the storm came.
But the strange waves from nowhere pushed their fishing boat into the kelp field in an instant, and the propeller of the diesel engine hit the kelp rope.
As a result, they could not get out in time, which led to the following events.
And because of this experience, my uncle solved the mystery of why the boats always capsized in the evil water stall.
To be precise, it was not the waves that capsized their fishing boat, but the surge in the sea, which is something completely different from the waves.
The waves are caused by the sea breeze, exist on the sea surface, and the direction is consistent with the wind direction.
The surge is caused by many factors, which may be submarine earthquakes, monsoons, or tides and terrain.
This thing looks ordinary, not as scary as the white-headed waves, but the volume may be very large.
When the first surge.
At least half of the kelp field was pulled out, and their fishing boat was pushed into the kelp field at once.
Seeing the second surge coming soon.
Chen Dongqing felt that this kind of small boat was not safe, so he asked everyone to cut the kelp rope and tie the buoy on the rope to themselves as a life jacket.
Then, everyone tied together and jumped into the sea, thus avoiding the danger of capsizing.
After listening.
Li Duoyu came to the courtyard and found that the rain was much lighter, the wind also stopped, and the sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone over, forming a trapezoidal light column on the gray-black sea.
Seeing the dark clouds gradually dissipate.
Li Duoyu came to the dock as soon as possible. Chen Wenchao was already waiting for him here, and he was also very anxious.
This sudden storm came and went quickly. Fortunately, no one was in trouble, but it did bring a serious disaster to Dandan Island.
None of the more than 20 fixed nets could be spared in this special weather.
And Li Duoyu's fishing raft was also severely damaged. Many bamboos were broken, the net cages were almost scrapped, and the fish inside ran away.
This made Chen Wenchao so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
He had worked hard for a month to collect those fish, but a bullshit storm wiped out his efforts.
He was very unwilling to accept this.
But Li Duoyu didn't know how to comfort him.
Because next,
he had to comfort himself.
His 30 mu kelp field was also affected. Although it was not as serious as the Wang brothers, more than 30 piles were pulled out.
Many kelp more than two meters long broke away from the kelp rope and scattered on the sea.
Li Duoyu estimated that there was a loss of one-fifth.
He was distressed at first, but when he thought of the complete destruction of the Wang brothers' kelp fields, Li Duoyu instantly felt balanced.
And in a short period of time.
The pile driver had no time to come to make up the piles. Without pile driving equipment, he could only sail to the dock to carry the unwanted stones in order to save the kelp fields.
There are many ways to fix kelp fields, and driving wooden piles is just one of them.
What Li Duoyu is doing now is called stone piles. The principle is simpler than wooden piles, which is to use the weight of the stone itself to fix the kelp rope.
However, this is only a stopgap measure. These stones cannot really fix the kelp fields.
In the previous life, the stone piles they made were much larger than the stones they moved, some weighing more than a thousand pounds, and they had to be transported by ships specially designed for transporting stones.
Li Duoyu tied the pulled wooden piles and stones together, and then sank them into the sea again.
Now he can only use the weight of the stones to temporarily fix these kelp fields.
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 happened on the island.
Until a broadcast praising good people and good deeds caught their attention.
"Today, we want to especially praise two young people in the village, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao, who risked their lives to save six comrades in our village."
After hearing this, the Wang brothers immediately went to the broadcasting room and turned off the broadcast.
"Lao Mao, you are openly violating the organizational discipline at this time. You didn't even get my approval. How could you broadcast it without authorization?"
"And what about Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao? When did they rescue people? Why didn't I know?"
The middle-aged man in charge of the village broadcasting, Lao Mao, looked at the Wang brothers in front of him and sneered: "I guess you two are the only ones in the village who don't know that the workers who worked for your family almost all died. You still have the mood to make tea and smoke in the office."
"Lao Mao, how can you talk like that?"
"Also, tell me clearly, what happened?"
"The feet are on your legs, can't you go and see for yourself?"
The Wang brothers, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, drove the boat to their own kelp field.
Looking at the mess in front of them.
And the upside-down fishing boat.
The two brothers were dumbfounded. Wang Jinjun looked at the fishing boat that he had just spent hundreds of dollars to redeem, staggered twice, and almost fell into the sea.
