Ding Dahu's face twitched several times, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and glared at Liu Mao fiercely: "You're awesome, let's see!" After saying that, Ding Dahu left angrily.
As soon as Ding Dahu left, Liu Mao frowned tightly. He was not worried that Ding Dahu would retaliate against him, but he was worried about Ma Xiaoyao. Counting the days, it has been more than half a month since Ma Xiaoyao left, and there has been no information, which makes people feel uneasy.
A little worried... Liu Mao pondered for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and called Ma Xiaoyao, intending to ask about the situation. Unexpectedly, he couldn't get through, and the mobile phone prompted that Ma Xiaoyao was no longer in the service area.
Liu Mao thought for a while and called the driver Meng Qiang again. This time the call got through quickly: "Old Meng, is Secretary Ma with you? Why can't he get through on his cell phone?"
"It's Deputy Secretary Liu. Secretary Ma is not with me. He has gone to do something." Meng Qiang said politely.
"Not with you?" Liu Mao was stunned for a moment: "Where has Secretary Ma gone? I called his cell phone and it said he was not in the service area."
"Um...Deputy Secretary Liu, I'm sorry, Secretary Ma won't let me reveal his whereabouts." Meng Qiang said embarrassedly.
Liu Mao twisted his lips: "Then can you tell me when Secretary Ma will come back?"
"This... I can't say for sure." Meng Qiang replied: "The things Secretary Ma is doing are more complicated. It will probably take some time before he can go back." Meng Qiang kept in mind Ma Xiaoyao's instructions and must not reveal his whereabouts.
So I have a very strict mouth.
"How is Secretary Ma doing lately?" Liu Mao asked in a different way.
"It's good, Deputy Secretary Liu, don't worry." Meng Qiang said with a smile.
"Well, okay, that's it, call me if you need anything." After saying that, Liu Mao hung up the phone.
…
Deep in the vast sea, a yacht is traveling slowly.
Ma Xiaoyao stood on the deck, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale. It looked like he was seriously sleep deprived.
Jin Ming stood aside, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother, the weather is going to change. Judging from the thickness of the dark clouds in the sky, it is estimated that the rain will not stop. You should go to the cabin to take shelter..."
Ma Xiaoyao raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky: "Jin Ming, how many days have we been at sea?"
"It's been twenty-one days." Jin Ming replied.
"Time flies so fast, twenty-one days have passed..." Ma Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
"Rumble..."
There was a burst of thunder in the sky...deafening.
"Brother, it's thundering. Let's go to the cabin quickly. It will probably rain soon." Jin Ming said anxiously.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea. The waves were raised by the strong wind to a height of more than one meter, and the yacht also rose and fell with the waves.
Jin Ming's face changed: "No, the wind has picked up. Brother, it's too dangerous here. Go to the cabin quickly!" As he spoke, Jin Ming pushed Ma Xiaoyao towards the cabin. At this moment, a huge wave came from a
It was lifted up from the side and slapped hard on the yacht. The yacht suddenly tilted and threw Jin Ming directly into the sea...
Ma Xiaoyao reacted quickly when he arrived. When the huge waves hit the yacht, he reached out and grabbed the railing, so he did not fall into the sea.
After the huge waves disappeared, the yacht slowly regained its balance.
"Jin Ming! Jin Ming!" Ma Xiaoyao lay on the deck and shouted Jin Ming's name loudly.
"I'm here...here..." Just when Ma Xiaoyao was about to despair, Jin Ming's shout suddenly came from the sea.
Ma Xiaoyao took a closer look and found a person floating about ten meters away from the yacht. Upon closer inspection, it was Jin Ming. Ma Xiaoyao was overjoyed: "Good boy, you are still alive! Just wait, I will save you right now."
Come up! You must hold on!" Ma Xiaoyao quickly found a lifebuoy, tied it with a rope, grabbed one end of the rope, and then threw the lifebuoy tied with the rope with all his strength. Fortunately, there was a tailwind, and the lifebuoy
It fell smoothly next to Jin Ming.
Jin Ming hurriedly reached out and grabbed the life preserver.
"Grab it, I'll pull you up now!" Ma Xiaoyao shouted, pulling hard on the rope holding the lifebuoy, and pulling on the rope little by little, Jin Ming got closer and closer to the yacht...
At this moment, another huge wave hit the yacht. The yacht tilted suddenly and almost threw Ma Xiaoyao into the sea. Fortunately, Ma Xiaoyao clung to the railing to avoid falling into the sea.
doom.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Xiaoyao continued to pull the rope. A few minutes later, Jin Ming finally arrived under the yacht. Ma Xiaoyao pulled Jin Ming onto the yacht with a strong tug, and then the two quickly jumped into the cabin.
"Hey..." Jin Ming took a long breath and said gratefully to Ma Xiaoyao: "Brother, thank you for saving my life."
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen into the sea. Speaking of which, I owe you."
"Brother, please don't say that..." Before Jin Ming could finish his words, the yacht shook violently, and Jin Ming fell directly to the ground, hitting his head heavily on the chair next to him, and almost fainted.
Ma Xiaoyao's condition was slightly better. Although he fell, he did not hit his head.
"Rumble...Rumble..."
The thunder outside became louder, and then the sound of rain hitting the ship's planks came.
"It's raining." Jin Ming struggled to get up and glanced at the window: "It's raining heavily outside, and it looks like it won't stop in a short time. The most terrible thing is the strong wind outside. I have been at sea for so many years.
, this is the first time we have encountered such a strong wind, it is estimated to be a level 10 wind at least. It is very dangerous for the yacht to stay in the sea. It may be overturned by huge waves at some point, and then we will be in danger." Jin Mingcheng Nian.
Being out at sea, I am very aware of the power of wind and waves.
"Then what should we do?" Ma Xiaoyao also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Two ways are to send a distress signal to the coast guard and ask the coast guard to rescue us... However, in this bad weather, it is probably very difficult for the coast guard to rescue us, and we are in the depths of the sea at this time.
It will take some time for the police to arrive, and I'm really worried that the yacht will be overturned by huge waves before the coast police arrive..." Jin Ming said with a bitter smile.
"Don't you have a second way?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Jin Ming nodded: "The second way is to find an island as soon as possible. As long as we can successfully land on the island, it will be safe. After the storm stops, we can leave safely."
"This is a good idea. The key is that there are no islands nearby." Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"Let me check..." Jin Ming staggered to the cockpit, reached out and turned on the navigation locator. Jin Ming asked his boss to install the navigation locator specially. It cost tens of thousands of yuan. With this navigation locator, Jin Ming
Don't worry about getting lost in the sea.
Ma Xiaoyao also came over to check.
Jin Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it a few times, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "I found it... I found it... There is a small island fifty miles away from us... and it's quite big..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry over. The storm outside is getting bigger and bigger. We have to get to the island as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer." Ma Xiaoyao said hurriedly.
Jin Ming nodded and drove the yacht towards the island displayed on the navigation locator.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the wind is blowing stronger and stronger, setting off huge waves. The yacht rises and falls with the huge waves, swaying, and may capsize at any time.
Ma Xiaoyao was very nervous at the moment, and his palms were sweating. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a dangerous situation. Especially when he saw the huge waves outside, Ma Xiaoyao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Jin Ming was also very nervous and scared, but he still drove the yacht firmly. He always firmly believed that as long as he persisted and did not give up, he would have a chance to survive.
In normal weather, it would take less than half an hour to reach the distance of fifty miles, but now it is very difficult... Half an hour has passed, and the yacht has only traveled more than ten miles...
Two hours later, Ma Xiaoyao finally saw the island displayed on the navigation device... From a distance, the island looked like an eagle spreading its wings and about to fly, very powerful and majestic.
Close, close... The yacht is still less than fifty meters away from the island. As long as we work harder, we can reach the island safely...
Looking at the island getting closer and closer, Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. God opened their eyes and they could finally escape the disaster.
Just when the two of them were secretly rejoicing, a huge wave hit the yacht hard... The yacht shook violently, and then turned over violently...
"Ah! Ah!"
Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming fell into the sea instantly. Fortunately, both of them knew how to swim, so they would not drown...
"Hurry up and swim in the direction of the island, quickly!" Jin Ming opened his mouth and was poured into a large mouthful of sea water, which made Jin Ming cough. It took a while to calm down, and then he tried his best to swim dozens of meters away.
Travel to the island.
Ma Xiaoyao didn't waste any time and swam towards the island closely following Jin Ming.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoyao was very good at swimming, Jin Ming immediately felt relieved and concentrated on swimming towards the island.
At this time, huge waves hit each other, Jin Ming and Ma Xiaoyao were dizzy, and they were almost washed away by the waves several times...
The hard work paid off, and after more than half an hour, the two finally successfully landed on the island.
"Damn, we're finally out of danger." Ma Xiaoyao gasped for air.
Jin Ming smiled bitterly: "We are only temporarily out of danger. The yacht capsized and may be washed away by huge waves. We are now almost trapped on the island..."
After Jin Ming's reminder, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly woke up. Yes, the yacht was overturned by a huge wave. How could they go back?
"Rumble..."
There was another deafening thunder in the sky.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the wind was blowing even more fiercely, and huge waves jumped up directly from the sea and crashed hard on the small island.
