Two years later, Jingshui Lake Tourist Area.
As the sun passed, the lakeside in midsummer was crowded with tourists. There were dozens of cruise ships of various sizes lined up on the pier, and tourists boarded the boats one after another with waving guide flags.
"Fifty yuan per person for the island in the middle of the lake, let's sail right away..." The young boat owner yelled angrily, but he didn't get a single passenger.
The captain wiped the sweat from his head in disappointment and sighed helplessly. People are poor but have short ambitions, and the ship is in a bad location. Can they still make a living?
"Young man, how much does it cost to charter a boat?" an old but energetic voice suddenly asked.
The captain was instantly resurrected with full health, gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Three hundred an hour!" Looking up, he saw seven or eight people gathered under the boat, led by an old man wearing a bunny hat.
The short-haired girl behind the old man immediately tugged on the old man's cuffs.
The cooked duck was about to fly, and the boat owner looked embarrassed: "Old man, four hundred is the normal price. Three hundred an hour is really a shameful price. If it's any lower, I won't even be able to make back the gas money."
The old man smiled and patted the girl's hand and said, "Just this one, nothing else is suitable."
The captain of the boat was overjoyed: "Please get on the boat quickly, big sister, I will help you carry your luggage!" After that, he jumped off the boat neatly.
The girl's eyes hidden under her sunglasses glared at the captain fiercely: "Who is your elder sister!"
The boat owner was very embarrassed, so he suddenly managed to help the old man: "I'll help you!"
The old man smiled and nodded: "You're a good young man. What's your surname?"
The captain quickly smiled and said: "You always praise me, my name is Ye Han, I am a well-mannered Han, what is your surname?"
"My surname is Qin." Mr. Qin was still smiling.
"Mr. Qin, be careful!" Ye Han helped Mr. Qin into the open cabin, and the others followed closely and found a place to sit down.
The girl wrinkled her nose in disgust and said vaguely with a lollipop in her mouth: "Grandpa, this boat is too old!"
Mr. Qin waved his hands and said, "We are not here to play."
The girl pursed her lips, took out a tissue and wiped the seat three times before sitting on it carefully.
It's not that she's being pretentious, it's just that she's really dirty.
Ye Han got into the cockpit and started the engine. The dilapidated cruise ship slowly left the dock, parted the waves and sailed onto the lake.
Mr. Qin walked slowly outside the wheelhouse: "Young man, is your boat a converted fishing boat?"
"You always have a bright eye." Ye Han smiled sheepishly, "I don't know why in the past few years, the fish in the lake have been getting less and less every year, and I can't even eat when fishing. When I came back from serving as a soldier, I happened to encounter a boat sale at a low price.
So I bought a boat to make a living."
"Why are there no fish in the lake?" Mr. Qin asked curiously.
"I don't know." Ye Han immediately shook his head, "No matter how many fry have been released in the past few years, there are just no fish in the lake. No research and analysis is useful. At the beginning of the year, they even brought a submarine and checked half of the lake.
Yue didn’t find any fish either.”
"Not even one?" Mr. Qin frowned.
"It's not that big. It's just that there are so few of them. The largest one is only half a hand long, and it's not even enough to fit between the teeth."
While they were talking, the boat was already hundreds of meters away from the shore. Mr. Qin suddenly said: "Xiaoye, stop here for a while."
"Here?" Ye Han couldn't help but be startled, "Why stop here if you can't rely on it? It costs a lot of gas to stop and go."
Mr. Qin chuckled: "I'm here to investigate too."
Ye Han was immediately in awe, but still suggested: "Professor Qin, I advise you not to waste your efforts. We have investigated too much in the past few years. If it weren't for my crow's mouth, I guess you wouldn't be able to investigate this time.
What's going on?"
Professor Qin smiled nonchalantly: "To do research, you must do it knowing that you can't do it!"
"Professor, the equipment is ready!" a student wearing glasses shouted in the cabin.
Professor Qin smiled at Ye Han and walked into the cabin. Several students immediately got busy under Professor Qin's command. Some were debugging equipment, some ran to the side of the ship to take water samples with glass bottles, and one held an arm as thick as
, something with a propeller on its tail ran to the stern of the boat, tied to a rope and thrown directly into the water.
A few minutes later, the fishing tour started again at Professor Qin's request. It stopped and went for more than an hour, with the island in the middle of the lake in sight.
Being too close to the island in the middle of the lake did not meet Professor Qin's requirements, so Ye Han decided to go around the island in the middle of the lake a few times.
The fishing tour rounded a small island, and a medium-sized yacht with 417 painted on its side suddenly appeared in front of the fishing tour, slowly drifting along with the water waves on the lake.
Ye Han couldn't help but was stunned. This place was less than one kilometer away from the main channel, and the nearby reefs were famously dense. If he was not careful, he would break off the reefs and sink. That was why he, a broken ship with a shallow draft, dared to go here.
417Did you take the wrong medicine?
At this time, the atmosphere in the cabin was very solemn. Professor Qin was worried: "Have you not found it yet?"
"No." The student holding the tablet in hand shook his head. The mini-submarine has not photographed a small fish until now.
"What about the water quality? How is the water quality?"
"Category III water quality, all water samples are Category III." Another student answered.
Professor Qin sighed in disappointment: "He Yang, please take the submarine back."
He Yang agreed and flipped the tablet upside down on the chair. The moment he buckled the tablet down, a huge dark shadow suddenly flashed across the computer screen.
He Yang walked to the stern of the boat and grabbed the traction rope. However, the traction rope was unexpectedly heavy and it hurt his palms to pull it.
The water resistance must have been too strong due to navigation, so he immediately signaled Ye Han to stop the boat.
The customer is God. Ye Han turned off the engine and the cruise ship slowly stopped. There were only 70 or 80 meters away from the 417 boat. Ye Han looked at it in confusion, why were half of the people on the 417 missing? Where have all the people gone?
He Yang pulled the traction rope again. The traction rope was still heavy, but he could finally pull it.
Ye Han suddenly discovered that there seemed to be someone floating on the water in front of him!
Someone fell into the water?
He quickly took out the pocket telescope under the bridge, but when he raised the telescope, he could no longer find the person... Could it be that I was dazzled?
At this time, a scream suddenly came from the stern: "Ah——"
The elongated scream was suddenly drowned out by the popping sound, and everyone in the cabin stood up one after another, but where was there anyone at the stern of the boat?
Ye Han jumped out of the cockpit and strode towards the stern of the ship, neatly taking off the truck tire hanging outside the ship's side.
However, when he rushed to the stern of the boat, there was no movement in the water, only a circle of ripples.
Ye Han couldn't help but be stunned, turned around and asked urgently: "Does he know how to swim? Does he know how to swim?"
The man with glasses said uncertainly: "He is from the south..." The implication is that he should be good at water.
Ye Han stamped her foot hard. It is true that there is a lot of water in the south, but who said that people in the south must be good at water?
He quickly pulled the rope around the lifesaving tire into his hand, turned around and was about to jump into the water.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to go into the water. It's not that he refuses to save people, but that people who don't know how to swim will instinctively grab anything they can after falling into the water. If the rescuer is not careful, he will be hugged by the drowning person.
Don't be afraid, if you don't save someone, you may end up risking your own life instead.
