Chapter 247 Remaining life after catastrophe
Hearing his words, the man was taken aback, quickly grabbed the oar, and climbed to the side of the rubber boat, Lu Xiaolu stretched out his hand to grab him.

With a deep voice: "Go!"

The man coughed up two sips of water from his mouth, and then searched around on the rubber boat, his face full of anxiety. "Quick! Save my cousin and the others! Cough cough."

Needless to say, Lu Xiaolu was already looking for it. The searchlight scanned around, and finally he found one. This person was much better than the one on the boat. He was facing upwards, maintaining a posture of fragrance, but it was a little far away. The little donkey hurriedly rowed twice, and rowed to the front.

"Pull him up!"

"Okay." The man on the boat stretched out his hand and dragged the man in the water up.

"Cousin, where's Ah Wei?"

"Ahem, Ah Wei, I don't know where Ah Wei has gone." The man was about to cry.

Awei is a young man from his village. He is only 22 years old this year, and his child has just reached one month.

Most importantly, as the captain, compensation must be indispensable. Thinking of this, he wished he could jump into the sea again.

Lu Xiaolu also frowned, he couldn't find anyone, and was about to take out the crayfish, when the back of the rubber boat suddenly sank, everyone looked back, and saw Awei lying on the side of the boat with his hands still spitting out his mouth. seawater.

"Awei!" The two exclaimed in surprise, each with one arm, and dragged Awei onto the rubber boat

"Is there no one else?" Lu Xiaolu asked.

The captain nodded quickly; "No, no, thank you, Captain Lu."

"Well, then sit down, let's go back to the boat."

"Let me help you." The captain quickly took out another oar from the kayak.

The captain's cousin came over and snatched the oar from Lu Xiaolu's hand. "Captain Lu, let me come."

"No, no, you can take care of that elder brother."

"I'm fine." A Wei lay on the kayak, stretched out his arms and waved his hands, indicating that he was fine.

"Captain Lu, you can go to the back and rest."

Seeing this, Lu Xiaolu stopped being pretentious and sat at the back, otherwise the boat would be in danger of capsizing if people crowded in the bow.

On the boat, Xue Li had been keeping an eye on Lu Xiaolu, and was finally relieved to see that he was not in danger, and turned on the searchlights to guide the rubber boat.

After climbing aboard, the captain greeted his cousin and Ah Wei, pulled the rubber boat to the stern with a rope and tied it up, and turned his head to thank Lu Xiaolu and Xue Li.

"Captain Lu, thank you very much. Without you, the three of us would be ruined." The other two also nodded and were terrified.

"It's okay, they are all begging for life at sea. I believe that anyone who meets them will help."

"It's a pity that I don't have any extra clothes on board for you to change." This trip to sea was scheduled for two days, and Lu Xiaolu didn't bring any extra clothes.

The captain and the others quickly said that it was okay: "It is already thankful to be rescued, Captain Lu, you don't have to be polite."

"Xue Li, let's cook some food, something hot will make you feel better," Lu Xiaolu said.Shirley nodded in agreement and walked into the kitchen.

"Oh, what an embarrassment, thank you, Captain Lu, and Miss Shirley."

Lu Xiaolu checked again whether the rubber boat was fastened firmly, and then chatted with a few people. The embarrassing thing was that there were only two stools on the boat, and no one could sit well, so they had to sit on the deck.

It turned out that they were tuna fishermen transferred from other places, and they were all from the same village. In the past two years, the captain surnamed Zhang made a lot of money by renting a boat, so he bought a second-hand fishing boat from others, and called representatives My younger brother went fishing with this young man from the same village named Awei. ,
Because of their good skills, the three of them earn a decent income. Many people in the village want to follow Captain Zhang.

Who knew that this year's fish season had only started for half a month, and he had encountered such a mess. He saw a good place, and when he sailed there, he ran into a reef.

"Then how fast do you have to drive to get flooded?" Lu Xiaolu asked curiously.

Captain Zhang blushed: "I'm also to blame for this. It's time for maintenance this year. I tried to save some money, so I didn't go. The propeller was directly broken, and the hull was cut."

Lu Xiaolu curled her lips: "That's your fault."

The annual maintenance of the fishing boat is essential. It is not so economical to save money. Now it’s all right. The four tunas that I worked so hard to catch were lost and the boat sank. If he hadn’t discovered it in time, it would have been destroyed. It's not as simple as three people, the few families that were destroyed.

After being taught a lesson by the young Lu Xiaolu, Captain Zhang was still a little unconvinced, and wanted to say that you don't understand the pressure of the family, which is what many fishermen do.

But when he thought of being rescued by him just now, and now he was still on his boat, he moved his mouth but didn't speak.

The boat is gone, so why bother.

"Donkey Oppa, it's time to eat." Shirley called from the kitchen door.

"Well, Captain Zhang, let's go eat."

"It's really bothering you."

There were not enough stools, Captain Zhang and the three could only eat standing or squatting, Lu Xiaolu felt that sitting was not good, like a landlord, Captain Zhang and the others were like long-term workers, so they took the stool away and stood After eating, Shirley followed suit.

Captain Zhang and the three showed gratitude. It would be nice to be rescued and have a full meal. They still respect themselves so much.

Especially Captain Zhang, when he thought of his sunken Coconut Tree, he felt sad for a moment, with tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you, cousin, why are you crying?"

"The wind is blowing your eyes, eat your meal!"

After eating, the three of them consciously washed their own bowls. Captain Zhang walked up to Lu Xiaolu, rubbed his hands, and said a little embarrassedly, "Captain Lu, do you have any cigarettes? Give me one."

"Well, come on deck."

Lu Xiaolu followed the three of them to the deck and scattered a circle of smoke.

The three lit cigarettes, took a deep breath, and showed intoxicated expressions: "Comfortable!"

For the rest of your life, there is nothing more relaxing than a cigarette.

Only then did Lu Xiaolu say: "Captain Zhang, I don't have enough rest cabins on board, so I can only make you feel wronged tonight."

Captain Zhang and the others nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Captain Lu, you don't have to worry about it."

Even though it was a bit tough at night, it was better than losing your life.

"Today is too late, tomorrow morning I will take you to find the patrol boat."

Captain Zhang rubbed his hands: "Will this trouble you too much? You have just set out to sea and haven't fished yet."

It's not troublesome, Lu Xiaolu can't ask for leave now, there are only two days in a week, and he has to return to the voyage at noon on Sunday, the time is the golden gun, after all, the fuel fee for the round trip is fixed.

You don't burn less diesel just because you have less time.

But there is no other way, the three of them can't be allowed to follow the boat, right? Lu Xiaolu has already taken a big risk in saving them, after all, there is Xueli on board.
