In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After Chen Wenchao came out of the water, he told Li Duoyu in detail about the situation underwater.

He said that the bottom of the entire transport ship was in a mess, and all that could be seen were floating kelp seedlings and kelp ropes.

The propeller was indeed wrapped like a dumpling by the kelp rope, and the most serious part was the contact point between the bearing and the propeller.

He tried to cut it a few times with the fish knife he carried with him, and surprisingly, he cut it off quite easily.

But there were too many tangles, and he only managed to cut two of them after three minutes. It would take a long time to cut them all.

After Li Duoyu got the cut "brown rope", he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then looked at his old classmate.

This guy is so bold that he actually used the cheapest hemp rope to grow kelp. This kind of hemp rope is far inferior to the palm rope in strength.

If there is a high tide, it is possible that it will be torn apart.

Li Duoyu took a knife that he usually used to kill fish from the fishing boat, and cut it diagonally downwards. It was actually quite easy to cut through.

Originally, Li Duoyu thought that this rescue was unlikely, but after seeing the hemp rope, he felt that he could still give it a try.

After confirming that rescue was possible, Li Duoyu returned to the transport ship and explained the situation to Norihiro Oda.

They were going to carry out a rescue.

But Li Duoyu added at the end: "No matter how good our relationship is, I have to state that this rescue is paid. We will charge an appropriate fee based on the difficulty of the rescue."

After hearing this, the captain frowned. They were running a transport ship and had also encountered maritime rescue.

But the price each time is very expensive, especially this kind of water rescue, which is almost astronomical. The cost of a rescue may be more expensive than their transportation fee.

Fortunately, the employer of this trip, Norio Oda, agreed on the spot: "Please, Mr. Li, I will pay for all the rescue expenses this time."

Li Duoyu nodded: "Okay."

After getting a definite answer, Li Duoyu began to work on the rescue.

The more rescues he performed, the more he realized the importance of standardized rescue.

Before starting each rescue, Li Duoyu must first assess whether the rescue is possible, and if it is beyond their capabilities.

Li Duoyu would refuse directly.

If the person can be rescued, Li Duoyu will inform the rescued party and make it clear that they are providing the rescue service for a fee. Only if the other party accepts the offer will he start the rescue.

Standardized rescue procedures are not only a form of self-protection, but also an explanation to those who participate in the rescue.

I can't follow you, Li Duoyu, out to rescue people. There will be no benefit. Just because the other party is a foreigner doing business with you, I will not risk my life to help rescue people.

After the rescue began.

Li Duoyu checked the surroundings and decided to do one thing first, which was to directly clean up the several acres of kelp fields that were hit by the transport ship.

Li Duoyu handed over the task of cleaning up the kelp fields to Director Liu Zhifeng and his team, asking them to give priority to the area around the transport ship.

Clear the surroundings first to avoid the hemp rope on the propeller being entangled again when you turn around after cleaning it.

Seeing that Li Duoyu was going to clear out his kelp field, his old classmate Zhang Zhenping felt so distressed.

But compared to the kelp fields, he was more worried about his kelp fields blocking other people's ships and whether he would have to pay compensation for this.

Zhang Zhenping smiled bitterly and said, "Duoyu, how much do I have to pay to the other party?"

"what!"

When Li Duoyu heard this, his brain short-circuited. He really didn't expect his old classmate to think this way.

But think about it, there is nothing wrong with the old classmates thinking this way. This was the 1980s, and it had only been a few years since the reform and opening up. It can be said that it was an era when worshipping foreign things was prevalent.

To exaggerate a little, even if those arrogant thieves at the train station were given a hundred guts, they probably wouldn't dare to steal things from foreigners.

If they dare to steal, the outcome will probably be a major crackdown, and maybe the entire gang of thieves will be arrested.

Li Duoyu replied: "You don't have to pay compensation. It was their transport ship that hit your kelp field. When the time comes, I will ask them to compensate you for your losses."

Zhang Zhenping waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, I don't have to pay for it, I really don't have to pay for it."

In fact, when he learned that a large foreign ship had hit his kelp field, his first reaction was that he was doomed.

He will definitely be scolded to death by Secretary Zhang. Maybe the leaders of the town and county will come to cause trouble for him.

After all, his kelp cultivation site is indeed quite far from their Langqi Village.

Seeing his old classmate's frightened expression, Li Duoyu said speechlessly: "People want to give you money, but you don't dare to take it. Aren't you stupid?"

“Can I really take it?”

Li Duoyu nodded: "Of course, we are not here to rescue for free. After the rescue is successful, we will charge a fee."

"Okay then, I'll listen to you."

"By the way, after you've cleared these acres, you'd better not grow kelp here. This will be a waterway from now on. If you continue to grow kelp here, there will definitely be more incidents like today."

"Okay, I see."

Seeing his old classmate frowning and still a little uneasy, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. The country was not strong enough, which affected all aspects and made people humble.

The other party was more responsible in this matter, but his old classmate felt that it was all his fault just because the other party was a foreigner.

The present incident reminded Li Duoyu of an aquaculture farmer in Da Xia Province in his previous life who particularly liked to engage in breeding near waterways and specialized in fraud.

Once a large ship gets out of control and rolls into their kelp fields or fish rafts, these fish farmers don't care where the ship is from.

They started to blackmail the other party directly, asking for an exorbitant price and compensation.

"Ugh!"

After confirming the start of the rescue, under the leadership of Liu Zhifeng, the brothers of the Coast Guard, including Zhang Zhenping's team, started to clean up the kelp fields around the transport ship.

Li Duoyu and his team were also ready and prepared to go into the sea to cut the hemp rope wrapped around the propeller.

As the wind and waves grew stronger, Li Duoyu took out insurance and everyone who went into the water had to tie a rope.

Although Xiao Chao can dive for five minutes, Li Duoyu only allows him to dive for three minutes at most.

Liu Yun’s words: two minutes.

Stone only takes one and a half minutes.

As for Lao Pan, he is a natural inhabitant of this business, and diving for five minutes is just a normal thing for him.

What surprised everyone was that Lao Pan actually took out a rubber diving goggles from his bag and put it on.

Very professional.

In this rescue, Li Duoyu was mainly responsible for command and coordination. He did not ask them to go into the water together in pursuit of efficiency.

Instead, two people work in a group to cut the hemp rope wrapped around the left and right sides of the propeller. At the same time, they can also look at the surrounding environment to ensure safety during diving operations.

When they started to work underwater, the islanders on the transport ship all looked at them with admiration. Although it was colder there, they couldn't work in the water with bare chests in such cold weather.

"Si Guoyi!"

From time to time, people on the boat would praise Li Duoyu and his crew, saying that their transport ship had been entangled in the nets of a trawler not long ago.

Those who came to rescue were all dressed as if they were astronauts.

And they also discovered that this group of people were really powerful. The previous rescue workers started to tremble after going into the sea several times.

The people brought by Li Duoyu did not seem to be particularly afraid of the cold and gave people a very flexible feeling, especially the young man who went into the water first, who was just like a fish.

What they admire most is the young man named Li Duoyu, who has really strong command ability.

Under his command, the rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner.

Their rescue equipment was not very good, but it was definitely a perfect and professional rescue.

Time passes by every second.

This was the fifteenth time that Chen Wenchao had gone into the water to cut the hemp rope, and now the outer circle had been cut by them.

The only part missing is the part where the bearing and propeller are entangled, and that part is also the most difficult to deal with. Even if the quality of the hemp rope is poor, it will become very tough after being rolled up by such a large torque.

At this stage, there is no other way except cutting it hard. Li Duoyu wishes he had an underwater cutting machine.

If I had this thing, I could do it in two steps.

As the light got darker, everyone became nervous because the sea water temperature was already very low.

The waves began to grow bigger, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the propeller shook along with it.

This increased the difficulty of cutting. The stones, which were not so resistant to water, were the first to give out. Their limbs began to become stiff and tremble, and their arms were accidentally cut by the fish knife.

A small wound appeared. Shitou wanted to continue cutting the hemp rope, but was discovered by Li Duoyu.

He was taught a lesson on the spot.

This time he was in charge of command, and Li Duoyu filled his position.

Li Duoyu took off his clothes, scooped up some sea water and splashed it over his body. The cold sea water made him shiver.

But his adrenaline surged instantly. Li Duoyu seldom went into the water, but that didn't mean he was a bad swimmer.

On the contrary, he has always been a good swimmer. When he was smuggling and was chased by the coast guard, he and Agui jumped into the icy sea.

At that time, he had a lot of silver dollars on him and swam very far in one breath, thus escaping the pursuit of the coast guard.

When they were smuggled into the island country, they were forced to jump into the sea before the ship even reached the shore, although not as exaggerated as Chen Wenchao who could swim for a whole night.

But that night, he didn't know how far he swam. Anyway, only less than half of the people who came with him survived.

It was after that time that Li Duoyu was filled with fear and awe of the sea.

After Li Duoyu went into the water with a fish knife in his mouth, he found that the temperature of the sea water was not as low as he had imagined, and was about the same as the temperature on the sea surface.

After he got into the water, he looked around. It was not the kind of blue that could be seen by the naked eye. Instead, it looked very dark. He could only see about a dozen meters away.

Even for people like them who grew up by the sea all year round, their heartbeats instantly quickened when they got into the sea.

Li Duoyu felt that if a person with claustrophobia came, the system would probably crash on the spot.

After Li Duoyu went into the water, he also started cutting the hemp rope. As expected, when people are in the water, their movements become clumsy.

On the boat he simply cut one line. He was in the water for two minutes before he finally cut one line.

Fortunately, the cutting was almost done, but at this moment, a large grayish-white fish with fins suddenly appeared in Li Duoyu's sight.

After seeing this guy, Li Duoyu's muscles suddenly tensed up, and in just a moment, his heart beat very fast.

My adrenaline surged and I felt an inexplicable excitement. I couldn't help but want to do it!
This crazy feeling is like standing on the edge of a building dozens of meters high and can't help but want to jump down.

And that big gray-white fish happened to be behind Chen Wenchao, in his blind spot. At this moment, Chen Wenchao didn't even know that he was in danger.

Because his arm was scratched by a stone and bleeding, Li Duoyu made extra preparations and kept a sharp harpoon within easy reach from beginning to end.

The moment he discovered the big fish, Li Duoyu immediately grabbed the harpoon, kicked his legs, and came in front of the shark.

Chen Wenchao also reacted. He turned around and saw the big fish in front of him, and his face changed suddenly.

This is the creature he hates the most in his life, no doubt about it. Especially after watching "Jaws", he wished that this species would disappear from the world as soon as possible.

The harpoon was suddenly pulled down, which immediately alerted the rescue workers on the boat. The water ghost Lao Pan, who was still smoking, knew what happened at the first time.

He threw away the cigarette on the spot, turned around, and said to Shitou, who was still bleeding: "Shitou, you must not come down."

After saying that, he immediately grabbed a harpoon and plunged it directly into the sea.

Among all people, he has encountered this thing more times than all the fishermen on Dandan Island combined, so he has relatively rich experience.

When encountering this thing, a knife is of no use at all. The best weapon is a harpoon.

Sharks look fierce, but in fact they are bullies and fear the strong. Once they come forward and touch the sharp harpoon, they will immediately choose to retreat or run away.

The sudden change made the islanders on the transport ship nervous, and at this time, someone hurriedly ran out of the captain's room.

Although the transport ship's engine was not working, there was still a backup power supply in the captain's room. The captain just found a big fish on the fish finder.

He then shouted to Li Duoyu and his group in very stifled Chinese: "Mr. Li, there's a shark."

After hearing this, Liu Yun and Shitou finally reacted. Liu Yun grabbed the harpoon on the spot and plunged into the sea.

Shi Tou was stunned on the spot. At this moment, he felt very guilty because it happened right after he was injured.

Brother Yu immediately prepared four harpoons, and now he finally knew what they were used for.

He had heard from Brother Yu before that sharks are very sensitive to the smell of blood, and once they bleed.

Sharks in the nearby waters are likely to come over. Unexpectedly, it actually happened.

Xiao Chao has been down there for four minutes, and Yu Ge has been down there for more than two minutes, but they haven't come up yet.

Shitou was so nervous that his breathing became rapid and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. At this moment, he wished he could dive into the sea to see what was going on.

But Brother Yu and Uncle Pan had also warned him that he must not go into the sea, but he kept staring at the sea with the harpoon in his hand, but could not see anything.

Didn’t they say on TV that when a shark comes, you can see the triangular fin? Why is there no hair at all?
At this time, Shitou was also very clear that this dangerous situation was caused by him. Yu Ge was right, he should not be so stubborn.

If at the beginning, he had been willing to swallow his pride and say to Brother Yu: I can't do it anymore.

You won’t start shaking due to cold hands and feet and accidentally scratch your arm.

At this moment, as a fisherman, all he could do was to pray in the direction of their island. (End of this chapter)
