Chapter 10 Gu Ge Chun man, a real man of iron blood
After winning over his men, Gu Kun changed his clothes and personally inspected the situation of the big fish.
The boat he rented from Liu Min was, after all, cheap and had no cold storage. So he was most afraid that the best fish would die for a long time after being caught and would not be worth the price.
It takes two and a half days to sail from here to Hailan Island, and four full days to Guangdong. If the tuna and sailfish are not put in cold storage after they die, they will start to depreciate in up to 24 hours. This is February when the weather is not too hot.
Condition.
Fortunately, the two tuna caught by Gu Kun were not serious. He quickly built a seawater cage specifically for these two precious fish, and also reminded his sister to remember to throw some trash fish in there for the tuna to eat.
As for the swordfish, it was indeed seriously injured and probably wouldn't last a day.
After Gu Kun looked at it, he ordered: "Let it last as long as it lasts for a few hours. Chen Li, thank you for your hard work. Once you find that you are about to die, cut it up in time. Put the blood and internal organs out, so that they can be kept fresh for longer."
.When the time comes, cut it into several sections and put them in the freezer. If the freezer cannot fit, try to put them in a cool place in the cabin."
There is no cold storage on the ship, but there are still freezers. It is not difficult to store hundreds of kilograms of meat.
Swordfish is also a relatively delicious and precious large-scale sea fish. The unit price is more expensive than Su Mei Tsing Yi, but it is incomparable with tuna.
Everyone performed their duties, quickly sorted all the fish and put them into the seawater cages, and washed and cleaned the deck.
Gu Pan killed a dozen of the dying fish, cooked a large pot, steamed some quick-frozen staple food freed from the freezer, and served everyone for lunch.
When Gu Kun saw that his sister had specially made lunch, he always felt awkward. However, he did consume too much energy and was very hungry, so he didn't say much and started eating without any fuss.
Long Wu and Chen Li naturally followed suit.
Chen Li tactfully praised Gu Panxianhui for his good craftsmanship,
Long Wu said very bluntly: "There is no one who makes lunch every day at sea. Just eat two meals. The boat is going fast in the afternoon. Today, the wind and waves may be stronger in a while. If you eat too much, you will feel sick."
After hearing this, Chen Li couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and poke her husband again: "Stop saying a few words! Miss Gu is very diligent. We are all old sailors, how can we get seasick so easily?"
Gu Pan was annoyed and explained nonchalantly: "Isn't this to free up the freezer to store the swordfish meat? These quick-frozen buns will go bad if they are not steamed. I don't want to waste them either. I will eat them both morning and evening."
The topic was stopped here, and Gu Kun did not intervene in the discussion.
After dinner, the wind and waves really got stronger. When we were fishing in the morning, the wind was probably only level 5, but now it seems to be rising to level 7.
For a 200-ton ship, this wave is relatively critical. Navigation may be no problem, but trawling is almost impossible.
Gu Kun felt sorry for his sister and was afraid that she would be in danger if she continued to work as a lookout, so he asked her to return to the cockpit and steer the ship with Chen Li.
In strong winds and waves, the rudder will become very heavy. If a girl is steering, it often requires two people to use all their strength to stabilize it.
As for deck work, it was all left to men.
Gu Kun and Long Wu were busy on the deck for more than an hour, pulling cables and tightening everything that might be washed into the sea.
Long Wu looked at his boss's performance and couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart: "Captain, you are really the best swimmer I have ever seen. It doesn't matter how the boat shakes. With your swimming skills, you really should go to the Olympics."
Gu Kun was holding a cable for inspection at that time. Hearing this, he smiled calmly: "We in Lan don't pay attention to it. There is no reward for winning the gold medal. I can't become a Chinese citizen, so why bother."
While they were talking and laughing, Gu Kun suddenly felt a dull pain under his stomach. He quickly grabbed the cable, thinking that he was hallucinating.
However, after a minute or two, he found that the pain had not disappeared, but that it was an uninterrupted feeling. He was startled and almost staggered under his feet.
Long Wu noticed something strange and hurriedly went over to catch Gu Kun: "Captain, are you okay? It was okay on such a big wave just now. Why can't you stand still on such a small wave now?"
Gu Kun shook his head, trying to calm down: "You help me back to the cabin first and let me think about it."
Long Wu quickly held his butt and returned to the cab.
Gu Pan and Chen Li were also greatly surprised when they saw this.
"Brother, are you okay? You have always been strong. Could it be that you are sick?"
Gu Kun thought for a few minutes. As the pain remained the same, he thought of a possibility: "No! It can't be appendicitis!"
He secretly regretted why he didn't go to the hospital to have his appendix removed as soon as possible after he was reborn!
The man he was before he was reincarnated in his previous life had his appendix cut out when he was changing jobs in his 20s - it was not because he had appendicitis, but just for prevention.
Because at sea, it is not uncommon to have appendicitis caused by rough weather after a meal. Ocean-going ships sometimes do not dock for several months, and there is no chance of surgery in the vast sea. Once you get a serious illness that requires surgery, it is very likely to be directly
Just die.
Therefore, the first thing any sailor who goes on an ocean voyage has to do is to cut out his appendix regardless of whether he is sick or not.
Unfortunately, after his rebirth, Gu Kun forgot that he had not had his appendix cut yet - at the age of 17, although he had been at sea for several years, he had never traveled across the ocean before, so he never thought about the problem of not being able to get to a doctor in time if he was sick.
When they heard that it might be appendicitis, both Long Wu and Chen Li became nervous.
Long Wu said angrily: "Captain! How come you haven't had your appendix cut yet? I thought you were an old fool..."
Chen Li: "What's the use of talking about this now! How long will it take to go to land for medical treatment before you look at the chart? Appendicitis should only hurt a little for the first six to eight hours, but it won't lead to inflammation and perforation. If it goes beyond that, it will
There is a piercing, we have to grab time! We have to move forward at full speed from now on!"
Gu Pan, who was unable to help him at all, was about to burst into tears. After hearing this, he immediately took the sea map and gestured for a while: "The city in China that is closest to us is Yalong City at the southern end of Hailan Island. It takes two days."
Days and two nights.
If it’s too slow, we can only risk going to Da Nang, which only takes a little more than one day and one night, about 30 hours. However, our Lanzhou passports are not visa-free in Vietnam, and I don’t know if we will be arrested.”
Long Wu: "At this time, I don't care whether I have a passport or not. This is life-saving."
Chen Li had the same idea, so she asked Gu Kun for instructions: "Captain, how about we turn the steering wheel to the west immediately and go to Da Nang to find a hospital for you to operate. You are a lucky person and you will definitely be able to hold on for a day and a night."
Gu Pan was beside him, his vision went dark. Fortunately, he didn't faint. He just hugged his brother and cried, blaming himself: "Brother, it's all me who hurt you. I shouldn't cook lunch for you. If something happens to you, wouldn't it be a sin for me?"
It's so heavy that I can only atone for my sins by jumping into the sea, wuwuwu..."
Seeing his sister and Ma Zai making a mess, Gu Kun was upset, but his will became decisive.
He pushed his sister's head away and said openly:
"How can appendicitis last a day and a night without turning? I want you to check the chart to see where the nearest islands and reefs of the Visa Islands are. I just need a non-bumpy, stable platform now. As for the appendix surgery,
Haha, there is anesthesia on the boat, I can cut myself!"
His surgical skills were also acquired through difficult conditions during his many years at sea in his previous life.
Because the probability of being accidentally injured at sea is still quite high, Gu Kun treated dead horses as a living horse doctor several times in his previous life.
In addition, he witnessed two sailors who forgot to cut their appendixes and died on the trans-Pacific route from Chile to Southeast Asia. Therefore, while practicing amputation and suturing multi-layered wounds, he also practiced minor operations such as how to cut appendixes.
Of course, he definitely does not have a medical license, nor has he read any systematic medical theoretical knowledge. He just has such a craft based purely on experience.
As for cutting one's own appendix, although it sounds shocking, it is not without precedent——
Before the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, a doctor named Lucia developed appendicitis while on duty at the country's Antarctic research station. Since he was the only doctor in the entire Antarctic station, the guy gave himself local anesthesia and then leaned on several mirrors.
As a reflex, he committed seppuku and cut his appendix.
Gu Kun felt that after his rebirth, his physical strength had become much stronger and his willpower had become more steely. Rather than waiting for at least a day and night, it would be better to be self-sufficient with less risk.
Because the difficulty of appendicitis surgery is closely related to the delay, if the pain can be controlled within six hours after the onset of pain, the difficulty of the surgery is very low.
However, to other people's ears, his determination sounded like fantasy.
"What? Are you crazy? Cut your own appendix? You will die!" The three people dissuaded each other in unison.
Gu Kun ordered categorically: "I'm sure! The medicine and equipment for trauma surgery on the ship are quite complete. I can't survive in Da Nang or Yalong City.
Do you guys want to kill me? You said you admired me so much in the morning, and since then you have strictly enforced the rules and regulations. Is it possible that what you said was treated as fart, and now you want to regret it? "
The undeniable aura that Gu Kun burst out immediately calmed everyone down.
After all, his performance in the past few days has been so impressive that his subordinates have been completely overawed by his accumulated power.
"It's really crazy. If this is your order, then we will carry it out." Long Wu spoke in a formal tone, unconsciously adopting the tone of a translator.
Gu Pan looked up the chart with tears of joy: "The nearest ones are Ganquan Island and Treasure Island in the Weisha Islands. They are 40 nautical miles away and can be reached in two or three hours! We have to turn to direction 35."
Gu Kun waved his hand: "Then why are you hesitating? Steering the wheel!"
The group of people carried out the order with complicated expressions. Gu Kun endured the gradually increasing pain for two and a half hours, and finally saw two beautiful small islands belonging to China appearing on the horizon.
