Chapter 26 The Island Keeper

This night was also the night Zhang Yuanhang slept the most peacefully.

In the past, how could I sleep on the last night of vacation?Not allowed to work overnight?

Zhang Yaohua can guarantee that if the lights in the village are left on after ten o'clock, it is basically because the children at home are doing their homework crazily.Children are little bullies at home, but when they go to school, they are basically not crazy. They are all afraid of the teacher like a mouse when it encounters a cat.

Zhang's mother and Azhen got up before dawn to prepare food for Zhang Yaohua brothers.

Not only breakfast, but also lunch.

After all, they said last night that Zhang Yaohua and the others were going to run far away and not go home at noon.Simple cooking can be done on the boat, but for the convenience of the Zhang Yaohua brothers, they still cook it.

Zhang Yaowei also got up, and he and his father carried drinking water to the fishing boat.

Also, prepare some ice for the boat.

Only Zhang Yaohua was not used to this kind of biological clock, and his family knew it, so they didn't call him to ask him to sleep a little longer.

"Why didn't you call me?"

My mother glanced sideways, somewhat looking down upon her: "What can I do to you? With that little strength, I can't even lift a piece of ice without being out of breath."

Zhang Yaohua: "..."

To put it this way, it is a bit excessive.

"Eat quickly, the thermos bucket is for your lunch, and take these apples with you as well." The mother seemed to be telling her children who were going on a long trip.

"Are you busy? Do you want me to follow?" Dad asked from the side.

It seems that the image of Zhang Yaohua as a weak chicken has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

When the two brothers went to sea, Zhang Yaowei had to do most of the work, and it seemed that Zhang Yaohua could only watch from the side.

Before Zhang Yaohua could speak, the second brother said: "No, we are busy."

have to!If the main force at work said this, then he would stop talking nonsense.

Zhang's mother and others followed to the small dock to see them off, and Aunt Dongmei was no exception.

"You have to look after each other," my mother shouted.

"Aunt, don't worry! I'll follow behind and I'll keep an eye on Brother Hua and the others." Shui Wang promised.

The fishing boat officially set off and headed due south.

On the way, they encountered a returning fishing boat.Some fishing boats set out at night and return to port in the morning.There are many seafood in the ocean that are nocturnal and have phototaxis.

Although it is more dangerous at night, the rewards are often greater.

Two fishing boats, one in front and one behind, kept a distance of 40 meters.

After two hours of tedious driving, an island finally appeared ahead.The island is not small, and there are trees, lighthouses, etc. on it.

"Are there people guarding the island there?" Zhang Yaohua asked.

The second brother nodded: "After Uncle Zhou retires, his son will take over."

He admired this kind of island defender very much. He had delivered supplies to the island with the shipowner and visited the island before.There are several peach trees on it, planted by Uncle Zhou more than 20 years ago.

"Do you know me?" Zhang Yaohua was a little surprised.

Although the island guards were from their town, they had little connection with their village.

To be honest, in Zhang Yaohua's opinion, there is no need to defend this kind of island anymore.In the past, passing ships needed the lighthouse on the island for guidance, so they had no choice but to send people to guard the island.

There are many rocks around and it is more dangerous for boats at night.

But today, technology is so advanced and there are other alternatives. There is really no need to waste people's youth on this boring island.

When it comes to the islands around the territorial waters, we are afraid that other countries will cause trouble, so it makes sense to send people to garrison them.

But the island in front of me does not belong to that situation!

"We know each other. We delivered supplies to the shipowner once and went up to have tea." After saying that, he waved his hand towards the island as a greeting.

The fishing boat passes by the right side of the island, and you can see some vegetables grown on the island.

This is the innate talent of the Chinese people. No matter where they go, the first thing they consider is growing food, even in Antarctica or even in outer space.

After a while, Zhang Yaowei said: "Last time we picked up a container here."

"Then what? Drag it back? What?"

For fishermen, encountering a container that has fallen into the water means opening a blind box.

Generally speaking, whoever picks it up belongs to whoever picks it up.Of course, it cannot be too public. Once it is exposed and found by the owner of the cargo, it will be unclear.

In fact, countless containers fall into the sea every year.

A container that has just fallen into the sea will not sink to the bottom of the sea immediately, but will float on the sea for a period of time.If you find a container filled with valuables, you can say you will make a fortune.

Such as mobile phones, cigarettes, etc.

"I didn't drag it back. I pried it open from the side and saw that there were tissues inside."

It's impossible to drag him back. If you can't hide it, someone will definitely come to your door.Therefore, if they encounter floating containers at sea, they usually take whatever they can get.

Someone may ask, didn’t the cargo ship come to salvage it afterwards?
In the eyes of many people, if a container is lost by a cargo ship, the ship owner must be responsible for compensation.

In fact, this is not the case. The cargo ship is not responsible for the loss of containers caused by strong winds and waves, so why would people come back to retrieve the containers?
So, who will pay for the cargo owner’s losses?
Usually it's an insurance company.

If you don't buy insurance, you're out of luck.

Even if the cargo ship itself causes damage, the ship owner may also seek compensation from the cargo owner.

Zhang Yaohua entered the container in his mind, and sure enough he saw the indicator arrow pointing more than ten meters ahead, and the arrow kept switching as the fishing boat moved forward.

It means that more than one or two containers fell nearby.

"Stop for a while."

Zhang Yaowei turned off the engine after hearing this.

The water behind them was strong and their boat was approaching.

"What's the matter? There's something wrong with the fishing boat?" Ah Hui asked loudly, standing beside his fishing boat.

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "No, I heard from my brother that there are containers down here. I plan to go down and take a look."

Ah Hui was speechless after hearing this.

Containers that have sunk to the bottom of the sea, what else is there to see?Can you salvage it?Whether the container door can be opened on the seabed is still unknown. After all, there is pressure on the seabed.

However, since Zhang Yaohua is interested, he will not be disappointed, so he should risk his life to accompany a gentleman!
Even Zhang Yaowei and Shui Wang hesitated to speak.

No matter how Zhang Yaohua reacts, his target is not actually a container. The container is just a reason for him to dive into the sea here.

"It's better that I accompany Brother Hua down to see it!" Shui Wang volunteered.

"If nothing can be done, bring your Brother Hua up." Ah Hui said.

"I know!"

Shui Wang and Zhang Yaohua sank one after another.

Zhang Yaowei said awkwardly: "If I had known that my brother was going to do this, I wouldn't have told him about it."

Ah Hui: "It doesn't matter! He probably just wanted to be fresh and has never encountered a container at sea."

After diving about 50 meters, Zhang Yaohua and Shui Wang finally saw four or five containers on the seabed.

Shui Wang pointed, and the two swam towards one of the deformed containers.
