1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 87 Everyone is safe (please read)

 The boat capsized, but Li Duoyu unexpectedly discovered that his uncle Chen Dongqing and the others were fine.

 Five or six people hugged each other.

Each person has a floating ball tied to his body, which rises and falls with the waves. Two of them are only holding a rope that has not yet been pulled out.

This way they were not blown away by the waves.

Seeing that they were all fine, Li Duoyu was also very excited and quickly sailed over to pull the people up from the sea.

 After being pulled onto the boat, Li Duoyu found that all of them had cold hands and feet from the cold, and their faces were as pale as paper.

 After all, the seawater temperature on Dandan Island in early March was only a little over 10 degrees Celsius.

 If a person soaks in sea water of this temperature for too long, it can easily lead to hypothermia and death.

 In fact, after the shipwreck, some people did not drown, but died from hypothermia after being soaked in seawater for a long time.

Such accidents also happened to the Titanic and the Dashun back then.

Among these people, my uncle Chen Dongqing had the worst physical condition. His limbs were frozen to the bone, and his hands were like chicken feet and could not be opened at all.

Handglasses were knocked into the sea, and my whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

But that mouth was very hard, trembling as he cursed: "You **** Wang Dapao. From now on, I won't care about his kelp even if I beat him to death."

Li Duoyu quickly took off his coat, put it on him, let him warm up first, and then immediately drove the fishing boat back to the port.

 After Li Duoyu pulled everyone back to the pier, the fishermen waiting at the pier cheered.

The families of the rescued fishermen knelt down on the spot before Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao.

Li Duoyu saw this and quickly helped the person up, but at this moment, he found that Chen Huiying and Zhou Xiaoying were looking directly at him in the crowd.

Eyes are red.

 Lao Li was also standing nearby smoking. There were already many cigarette holders on the ground.

After seeing Li Duoyu supporting Chen Dongqing, who was shaking all over, the two elders also knew that the situation was not good and immediately ran over to help.

 After helping someone home.

 Lao Li immediately took off Chen Dongqing's wet clothes, then wrapped him in a quilt, and then lit a stove.

Aniang boiled a pot of water for him.

Ten minutes later, my uncle Chen Dongqing finally recovered from his instability. Unexpectedly, the almost thirty-year-old man cried out immediately after he recovered:

 “Almost died.”

 “I still have a wife, and my daughter is so cute.”

After crying, Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu gratefully and said with red eyes: "If you weren't here today, I probably wouldn't have survived. I owe you a life this time."

 “What nonsense are you talking about? As long as everything is fine.”

 “You scold me now, and I think it sounds good too.”

 Li Duoyu:…

I heard from my uncle that he couldn't stand Wang Dapao's waste of kelp, so he helped these workers adjust the water layer of the kelp, so he didn't rush back.

  I didn’t expect to encounter such extreme weather.

 Originally, as soon as the storm came, they planned to go back to the dock directly.

A strange wave came from nowhere and instantly pushed their fishing boat into the kelp field. The oars of the diesel engine were caught with the kelp rope.

 As a result, they were unable to escape in time, which led to what happened next.

Because of this experience, my uncle solved the mystery of how boats always capsized before Bad Shui Tan.

To be precise, it was not the waves that overturned their fishing boat, but the swell in the sea, which was something completely different from the waves.

  Waves are caused by sea wind, exist on the sea surface, and come in the same direction as the wind.

The surge is caused by many factors, including submarine earthquakes, monsoons, tides and topography.

This thing looks ordinary and not as scary as the white-headed wave, but the potential is very high.

 At the time of the first surge.

At least half of the kelp field was uprooted, and their fishing boat was suddenly pushed into the kelp field.

 Seeing that the second surge is coming. Chen Dongqing felt that this kind of small boat was not safe, so he asked everyone to cut the kelp rope and tie the float on the rope to himself as a life jacket.

Immediately afterwards, everyone tied together and jumped into the sea, thus escaping the danger of capsizing.

 After listening.

Li Duoyu came to the courtyard and found that the rain had dropped a lot, the wind had stopped, and the sun's rays penetrated the clouds and shone through, forming a trapezoidal beam of light on the gray-black sea.

 See the dark clouds gradually dispersing.

Li Duoyu came to the dock immediately. Chen Wenchao was already waiting for him here. He was also very anxious.

This sudden storm came and went quickly. Fortunately, no one was injured, but it did bring serious disaster to Dandan Island.

Of those twenty-odd fixed nets, not one of them was spared in this special weather.

Li Duoyu’s fishing rafts were also severely damaged. Many moso bamboos were broken, the cages were almost scrapped, and the fish inside were all gone.

 This made Chen Wenchao so distressed that he couldn't breathe.

Those fish were something he had worked hard to save for a month, but a **** storm wiped out his month's efforts.

 This made him very unwilling.

 But Li Duoyu didn't know how to comfort him.

 Because next,

 He had to comfort himself.

His 30 acres of kelp field was also affected. Although it was not as serious as the Wang brothers, more than 30 piles were pulled out.

 A lot of kelp more than two meters long broke away from the kelp rope and scattered on the sea.

 Li Duoyu estimated one-fifth of the damage.

Originally he was also very distressed, but when he thought about the annihilation of the Wang family brother Kelp Tian, ​​Li Duoyu instantly regained his psychological balance.

 In a short period of time.

The piling master was too late to come over and mend the piles. Without piling equipment, in order to save the kelp field, he had to sail to the dock to transport the unwanted stones.

There are many ways to secure kelp fields, and driving stakes is just one of them.

What Li Duoyu is doing now is called a stone pile. The principle is simpler than a wooden pile. It uses the weight of the stone itself to fix the kelp rope.

However, this is only a temporary measure, and these stones cannot really stabilize the kelp field.

In the previous life, the stone piles they built were much larger than the stones they were transporting, weighing over a thousand kilograms. They had to use ships specially designed to transport stones.

Li Duoyu tied the uprooted wooden piles and stones together, and then sank them into the sea again.

 Now, he can only use the weight of stones to temporarily stabilize these kelp fields.

The Wang brothers, who were making tea in the reception room of the brigade, were still discussing who they wanted to give gifts to, and had no idea what was happening on the island.

 Until a broadcast praising good people and good deeds caught their attention.

“Today, we would like to commend 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 came to the broadcast room and turned off the broadcast.

“Lao Mao, you are blatantly violating organizational disciplines at this time. You didn’t even get my approval. Why are you broadcasting without permission?”

“And what’s going on with Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao? Why didn’t I know when they rescued people?”

The middle-aged man in charge of the village broadcast, 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 almost all the workers who work for your family died. You still have I’m in the mood to make tea and smoke in the office.”

 “Lao Mao, what are you talking about?”

“Also, please tell me clearly, what happened?”

“The feet are on your legs, but you don’t know how to see them yourself.”

The Wang brothers, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, sailed to the back of their kelp field.

 Looking at the messy scene in front of him.

And the upside-down fishing boat.

The two brothers were dumbfounded. Wang Jinjun looked at the fishing boat that had just been redeemed for a few hundred dollars. He staggered twice and almost fell into the sea.
