In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Many fishermen really don't understand international distress signals, and most of the time they wave their clothes. If they are closer, they all rely on shouting.

Comrade Xiao Xu said this, and Li Duoyu also saw the signal. Three short, three long and three short were indeed international rescue signals, that is, SOS.

But the signal only flashed for a while, and the light became darker and darker. It looked like the flashlight was out of power. Li Duoyu, who saw the signal, stopped the fishing boat.

Director Liu from the Coast Patrol also came over and asked Li Duoyu some questions.

"Director Li, I heard from Captain Zhang that when you contacted the Matsu Island shore station, the other party said that the fishing boat had been lost for a long time, right?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Yes."

Liu Zhifeng frowned. The task given to him by his superiors was to find living people, and now he was roughly sure of it.

Those people on Dongjia Reef should be the missing fishermen of Mazu Island. This time, Shangfeng Town, including the entire Lianjiang County, did a very good job in wind and typhoon prevention, and there were no missing fishing boats.

Coupled with the fact that the other party will send an international rescue signal, it is almost certain.

If, as Li Duoyu said, the other party has been out of contact for a long time, then for them, the danger will be much greater if the rescue is one day late.

For them, obeying orders is their bounden duty. Liu Zhifeng asked: "Director Li, can you be our guide and let us go to the reef for rescue?"

Li Duoyu frowned.

"now?"

Liu Zhifeng said firmly: "Yes."

Li Duoyu hesitated for a moment, refused very decisively, and looked at his watch: "Director Liu, the water level is very low now, and there are still eight hours until the next high tide. I also have a family, and I can't do it because of them." If they are from overseas provinces, we will risk their lives to save them.”

Hearing such an answer, which was expected, Liu Zhifeng tried to ask: "If we use your sampan to board the reef, what do you think the probability of success is."

Li Duoyu asked, "Are you familiar with this area?"

"Not very familiar."

Li Duoyu said very seriously: "Then your probability of success is only zero. If you forcefully board the reef in order to carry out the mission, then you can only soak in the sea water and wait for me to fish you out tomorrow."

When Li Duoyu said it, he emphasized the word "Lao" very hard, and Liu Zhifeng also understood what it meant.

"Okay, we understand."

Li Duoyu then asked: "Director Liu, do you want to continue staying here, or go to our island first?"

Liu Zhifeng struggled for a while.

"Let's go to your island first."

Liu Zhifeng didn't want to do this, but in the face of orders, he could only do his best. This was his duty.

In the past two years, relations with overseas provinces have eased. Organizations on both sides have even begun dialogue, and many associations are working in private to coordinate the work.

And he also heard that there are many veterans in overseas provinces often marching and shouting to go home, and it is very likely that the two sides will be able to open flights next year.

In this context, when they heard that fishermen from overseas provinces were missing in their area, some leaders wanted to make this matter a success.

When leaving, Li Duoyu turned on several sets of lights in the direction of the bonfire to see if the other party knew about international rescue.

They should know that they have been discovered, and Li Duoyu can only pray that the other party will have enough supplies to come to their rescue.

When the fishing boat returned to the dock, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Chen Jianghe actually heard the news and had been waiting at the dock early.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Liu Zhifeng and Chen Jianghe were actually acquaintances, and they started chatting as soon as they met.

Li Duoyu had been around for a long time, and his body had already been unable to bear it for a long time, so he stopped receiving them and handed them over to Company Commander Zhang and Party Secretary Chen.

When Li Duoyu returned home, he was so tired that he fell asleep on the sofa. In the middle of the night, he seemed to feel someone covering him with a quilt.

But although he was very tired, Li Duoyu woke up at about four o'clock in the morning. After taking a few sips of warm water, he planned to go out.

Zhou Xiaoying heard the swishing sound, walked down from the bedroom on the second floor with a flashlight, and asked softly: "What time is it, where are you going?"

Li Duoyu replied truthfully: "The fishermen from Matsu may be over there at Dongjia Reef. The tide has almost risen now. I'll go and see what's going on."

When he heard that he was going to Dongjia Reef again, Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "Didn't you drag the boat back last night? Why are you going out now?"

"The missing Matsu fishermen are most likely on Tung Kip Reef. We plan to go to Tung Kip Reef to have a look when the tide rises in the morning."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned even more tightly. She was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "How about you stop being the village director."

Li Duoyu sighed: "You think it's inappropriate, so they won't call me."

In fact, Li Duoyu had thought before that he might as well stop being the village director, but later he discovered that it didn't make much difference whether he was the village director or not. If something really happened, he would still look for you.

After all, in this era, there are probably not many people who can freely enter and leave Dongjia Reef in this sea area.

Many times, people are unable to help themselves. In the previous life, Li Duoyu was either worried about food and clothing or mortgage payments.

I didn’t understand at all what “people can’t help themselves when they are in the world”, but now that I have entered this circle, I finally understand a little bit.

As long as you are in this network of relationships, there will be a pair of invisible hands pushing you forward.

People who haven't reached that level really don't understand, but Li Duoyu has just started and can already feel it.

The relationship is so delicate. At present, the village director seems to be his identity, although his Minlong Food does better and makes more money.

But the amazing thing is that everyone seems to prefer calling him Director Li, and no one calls him Boss Li or anything like that.

And Li Duoyu could also feel that when the other party called him Director Li, he really regarded him as someone from the same circle.

If he is not appropriate, the relationship with the big leader will most likely be severed. Li Duoyu knows very well that what the leader values ​​​​is his identity as a leader in getting rich, not the person himself.

Li Duoyu said softly: "Go to bed quickly."

Zhou Xiaoying puffed out her cheeks: "Can't sleep."

"Let's go."

When Li Duoyu came to the pier with a flashlight, he found that there were quite a lot of people. It was only one day after the typhoon and the fishermen started fishing again.

After all, during the period after a typhoon, there will be an especially large number of big fish in the offshore. It is not unreasonable that the bigger the storm is, the more expensive the fish will be.

After a typhoon, the ocean currents will change, and fish schools prefer to gather. If you go fishing at this time, once the fish are caught in the net, there will be a whole school.

There are also typhoons that stir up water bodies, causing bottom organisms to rise. When the time comes, those big fish will also rise to catch food.

In short, the period after the typhoon is definitely a good time for fishing. If you are lucky, you can catch fish species that you can’t usually catch.

Lao Yang's Restaurant also opened early, but there were so many people in uniform sitting inside that the local fishermen didn't dare to go in to eat. After Li Duoyu arrived, Zhang Erhu and Director Liu quickly greeted him: "Duoyu, come here for breakfast."

Director Liu and the others looked tired. Judging from the situation, they probably didn't get a good rest last night.

After Li Duoyu came over, he ordered a large bowl of porridge, an egg and a fried dough stick.

They were in a hurry to set off.

Before setting off, Li Duoyu checked the weather. Unexpectedly, the typhoon was still raging the day before yesterday. Early this morning, the weather became calm. The night sky was also very bright, and he could even see a bright Milky Way.

Li Duoyu drove a fishing boat and towed a sampan to Dongjia Reef again.

On the dock side, some fishermen couldn't help but started talking when they saw Li Duoyu taking the patrolmen out to sea.

Zhao Xiaoliu, who was helping others fish, cursed: "Director Li has been shouting that he won't help, and he has gone to sea twice this night."

A fisherman said:
"It's not like we've already found someone."

"I heard from Xiaochao that the person is probably at Dongjia Reef."

"Why is it in that ghost place again?"

"Speaking of which, it's really an evil thing. It's not like the time has come and he wants to find a scapegoat again. How long has this Liu Mazi been gone?"

"Alas, I heard from someone that the first person to come to the Zhao brothers was Director Li, who happened to save them, which led to the incident with Liu Mazi."

"I think it's better not to save them. If we really save them, they will definitely find someone next time, and maybe they will be even worse than last time."

"Just let Liu Mazi's family go to Dongjia Reef to perform a ritual ceremony."

"Damn it, don't talk about such horrible things in the middle of the night, okay?"

When they said this, many fishermen couldn't help but shiver down their spines. One fisherman said: "I originally wanted to go fishing nearby, but now I don't dare to go."

When Li Duoyu's fishing boat arrived at Dongjia Reef, the tide had almost risen, and it was safest to go to the island at high tide.

Li Duoyu parked the fishing boat in a safe position, and then, almost until the belly of Dongfang fish turned white, he changed into a small sampan.

As before, Li Duoyu only brought Chen Wenchao, but not Director Liu and Company Commander Zhang.

The two of them were quite familiar with this area, and they quickly avoided the reefs below and landed on Tung Kia Reef.

Perhaps because of the typhoon we just experienced, the number of seabirds on Dongjia Reef has obviously dropped sharply. There used to be many eggs to pick up, but now there is not even a single one.

Tongjia Reef is only relatively large in the part in the sea, and the part exposed out of the sea is really not particularly big.

If someone is really here, there is no need to think about it. They must be in that natural air-raid shelter.

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao went straight to the air-raid shelter. Just as he had guessed, there was a small fire burning slightly there.

The smell when cooked is very strong, it feels like the smell of shit. If I guessed correctly, they are burning dried bird droppings that have accumulated over time.

Li Duoyu did not approach the cave entrance rashly, but shouted from outside: "Luo Shuigan."

After just shouting twice, there was movement immediately. Two people came out of the cave, one of whom was older and the other was relatively younger.

The two of them looked very haggard and thin, but when they saw someone coming to them, they were so excited that their whole bodies were shaking.

The old man's lips were so dry that they were even bloodshot and trembling: "I am Luo Shuigan."

Li Duoyu glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are you two the only ones?"

"No, there are four of us, and two are not in good health and are lying inside to rest."

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao took a look inside the cave and found that the condition of the other two people was not very good, and could even be said to be very bad.

The old man said very worriedly: "They are my eldest son and second son-in-law. One has had diarrhea for many days and now has no strength to walk. The other had a recurring fever last night."

Li Duoyu took a brief look and found that one of them was still having a fever and was shivering from time to time, while the other one looked severely dehydrated.

The condition of both of them is very bad. Now they don't even have the energy to say hello to Li Duoyu and the others. If it is a day or two later, these two people may not be able to hold on.

Li Duoyu briefly looked around. There was everything on the ground, including oyster shells, fish bones, even bird feathers and egg shells, and even a big turtle shell. It felt like the four of them were on a desert island. Like survival.

For a native islander, it is no problem to live in a place like Tung Kak Reef for a day or two.

But as long as it lasts more than five days, there will definitely be a problem, and it will be a big problem.

Li Duoyu used to like watching wilderness survival columns, and the works on "Starving Virtue" were relatively realistic.

Because in the end of survival in the wilderness, even if there is no shortage of food, your gastrointestinal rate will be the first to have problems.
Human beings are accustomed to eating cooked food. If the food is not cooked and eaten casually, it may cause gastroenteritis, especially things in the wild, which may carry various viruses and bacteria.

Speaking of which, in the previous life when Mr. Bei and Hungry Dehuo were fighting, a group of young people who were not afraid of death actually came to Tung Kip Reef to play on a deserted island to survive.

In the end, only two days later, the group was almost wiped out because of eating poisonous textured snails.

Speaking of this, the eyes of the old man named Luo Shuigan couldn't help but turn red: "To be honest, if you hadn't come, we really wouldn't be able to hold on."

Li Duoyu said: "We found you last night. I gave you a signal, but the tide was out and we couldn't get to the island."

“Thank you so much.

But at this point, Luo Shuigan asked curiously: "Little brother, how do you know my name?"

Li Duoyu replied truthfully: "Your ship just happened to float to our island. I saw a group photo in your captain's diary on the ship, and your name was written on the back."

Luo Shuigen was quite shocked. In fact, their fishing boat had been broken down here for several days. When the typhoon came, the cables and anchors of their fishing boat were immediately broken. He thought that the boat must have been lost, but unexpectedly he ran away. Went to move reinforcements.

Luo Shuigan knelt down and worshiped the sea on the spot: "It's really Mazu who bless me."

"Thank you Mazu."

Next, Li Duoyu helped move the two people to the small sampan boat, and Li Duoyu learned this after chatting with the uncle.

It turned out that they had been trapped here for more than ten days, and they had been asking for help on the island for a long time. I don’t know how much dried bird droppings were burned, but no one found them.

What devastated Luo Shuigan the most was that not even a fishing boat was seen during this period, which made them even begin to doubt whether they were still in this world.

After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and could only say that they were very unlucky and happened to catch up with the kelp harvesting period.

The fishing boats in the nearby waters have all gone to collect kelp. Naturally, no fishing boats will go to the Dongjia Reef to catch fish.

If it were any other time period, he would have been discovered long ago, and he wouldn't have to survive on a deserted island for so long. (End of chapter)
