Lu Chixiao leaned against the bridge, listening and using a telescope to keep an eye on the sea ahead.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to signal the captain to adjust the direction and sail towards the eleven o'clock direction.
"What's going on over there?" Mr. Fu saw this and came over curiously.
Lu Chixiao handed him the binoculars: "A fishing boat was knocked down by the waves."
"I'll go! It's really true!" Mr. Fu took it and looked at it, smacking his tongue, "Thanks for meeting us, otherwise, even if we hold on to the driftwood and the lifebuoy, it would be quite difficult to float on this vast sea.
...Speaking of Brother Xiao, your salvage company has just opened its doors and has already encountered business!"
"..."
Lu Chixiao kicked him: "Can you speak human language?"
His main business is shipwreck salvage, not people.
But you can't ignore it when you see it.
The salvage ship accelerated to the sea area where the accident occurred.
What was sunk by the waves was a small fishing boat. The hull itself was in disrepair. Unlike other fishing boats, which were reinforced with steel plates. The owner of the boat was a strong, middle-aged man with dark skin. He relied on his good water skills and old skills.
——Since taking over this fishing boat, nothing has happened, so I take it a bit lightly.
Normally, we would not be able to travel this far at this time. At most, we would be near the mouth of the bay. If we encounter strong winds and waves, the boat would be able to turn around and return to port very quickly.
Today I decided to run farther because my son, who was studying in a technical secondary school in another place, was at home during the summer vacation. The father and son planned to catch more fish, so they went out to sea before three o'clock in the morning. When the waves gradually increased, they realized that there was a typhoon.
, I wanted to return and found that I was already far away from the harbor.
The father and son were reluctant to part with the boatload of catch they had caught so early in the morning, but despite the wind and waves, the heavy boat consumed a lot of fuel and could not run very fast. The father and son did not give up and accelerated their return as fast as they could, until the waves were getting higher and higher.
The distance back to port did not shorten much, so the father and son decided to give up some of their catch.
But it was too late, a huge wave arose and the ship's hull was torn apart.
Although there is a lifebuoy on the ship and the cracked side of the ship can be used as driftwood to support them for a while, it is so far from the port and the weather is so bad. When will a rescue ship come to rescue them?
The father and son were filled with fear, but what could they do except grit their teeth and try their best to hold the driftwood and let the waves rise and fall?
Just then, they saw a ship, a huge ship that looked like a palace on the sea.
If the small fishing boat that sank into the sea was compared to small fish and shrimp, then this big boat was like a blue whale, the king of the sea, sailing towards them quickly but steadily.
At this moment, the father and son, who were gritting their teeth and persisting, suddenly had red eyes.
The big ship, which was all classic gray, did not stand out on the vast white sea, but in their eyes, it seemed to be shining with thousands of rays of light, and it seemed to be Guanyin Bodhisattva who was riding on colorful auspicious clouds to save people from suffering.
Seeing hope, the father and son grabbed the driftwood and waved desperately toward the ship for help with one hand.
Of course Lu Chixiao saw them, otherwise he wouldn't have let the captain adjust his direction and come closer.
The crew received the order and threw down the lifebuoy with the rescue rope on the deck.
The father and son grabbed the lifebuoy and were pulled onto the deck bit by bit.
Mr. Fu had already prepared hot water and hot tea. He asked the father and son to wear towels and drink a cup of hot tea first. After they recovered, they could take a bath.
The father and son took a hot bath and came out. They recovered completely. They both knelt down and kowtowed to everyone to thank them for saving their lives.
In today's weather, if they had not encountered Lu Chixiao's salvage boat, they knew exactly what would have happened.
Lu Chixiao was troubled by this situation the most, so he winked at Fu Xiaodi and told him to handle it.
Mr. Fu smiled and said, "Don't bother me. It's a life-saving favor for you, but it's just a piece of cake for us. It's a trivial matter, so don't take it to heart."
The father and son thanked each other profusely before they agreed to get up.
Talking about what happened today, I feel extremely sad.
Originally, they wanted to take advantage of their son's summer vacation, and the father and son worked together to catch more fish to sell for money, but they didn't want to end up with nothing, not to mention the loss of the boat.
Fortunately, people are still here. If you lose your food and household items, they will be gone. As for the external things, you can earn them later. If your life is gone, what's the use of having more money?
"Isn't that the truth?" Mr. Fu nodded in agreement, "You have unlimited possibilities while living! If your life is gone, what's the use of earning this and that! What you don't bring with you in life will not be taken with you in death..."
Qi Hui sat next to him, listening attentively, but still looking confused.
Lu Chixiao's thoughtful gaze swept across his face from time to time.
If it was just a simple case of amnesia, would he not be able to understand these words?
Amnesia is nothing more than forgetting past memories, rather than becoming a fool from being smart, or having a normal IQ drop to a mental retardation.
Thinking about his superb repair skills and the product upgrades from the interstellar world that make children go crazy with just a touch...
Lu Chixiao's eyes became darker and darker.
The original plan of the salvage ship was to go to Nanyang for a trial voyage, but after saving the father and son, the plan had to be changed.
The typhoon is passing through in the past few days. How can a round trip to Nanyang last for two or three days?
So, after everyone discussed it, they decided to go for a two-day trip in the outer waters of Haicheng. If the wind was light, they would send the father and son back to Hong Kong first, and then back to the fjord. If there is a typhoon in Haicheng, the fjord will generally not fall, so I don’t want to go back and have a look.
Everyone is worried about the situation.
Unexpectedly, this time, the salvage boat became a rescue boat, which made me laugh and cry.
One after another, people on several fishing boats were rescued.
Some fishing boats were relatively small and could not withstand the strong waves and were capsized. Fortunately, there were lifebuoys on the boats and they were able to hold on until the salvage boat arrived.
Some boats were relatively strong, but the people on the boat lost their footing when packing up the supplies on the deck and fell into the sea. The lifebuoys and plastic bottles thrown by the companions were not securely connected. No matter how good the water quality was, they would not survive in the cool sea water.
, I fluttered against the wind and waves for several minutes, and my physical strength gradually became exhausted.
The salvage ship simply moves closer to this type of fishing boat. Regardless of whether the small fishing boat reinforced with steel plates can withstand strong winds and waves, people should be placed on the salvage ship first.
Saving one is saving, but isn’t ten or eight also saving?
Fortunately, the salvage ship has enough cabins. After all, salvage requires manpower. This trip is just a trial voyage, so most of the dormitories for seafarers are idle.
The people who were rescued were temporarily accommodated in the sailors' dormitories. When they came out, they planned to conduct a trial voyage, so they did not hire enough sailors. There were still many empty rooms.
The father and son rescued on the first day were named Lou, their father was Lou Jianguo, and his son was Lou Wenhua. They learned that the ship had only been picked up two days ago, and it was a brand new salvage ship. It turned out to be used to salvage people, and it would be provided to them in the next few days.
I gave them food and drink, and then even sent them back to Hong Kong. I felt guilty.
After calming down, the father offered to help with the cooking. He had good cooking skills and almost went to the county town to open a restaurant with the son of the village party secretary in partnership; the son actively participated in the subsequent spontaneous rescue.
