Chapter 307
"Whose boat sank?!"
"What should we do?"
"Should we drive the boat over to rescue people?"
"We only saw the boat, but no people? Could the people be dead?"
"Could the people have escaped first?"
Seeing the boat sinking into the water, Hu Hansheng, Wu Yinglong, Yu Chengqing and others on the fishing boat were discussing.
After watching for a while, they only saw the boat sinking, but no people. They thought it was very strange and wondered if the people on the boat had died or had escaped first.
Shen Fei didn't quite understand what happened to the small fishing boat, and secretly ordered the sea snake and octopus in the water to check the situation.
However, before the sea snake and octopus arrived, a person wearing diving equipment floated down from the sea next to the fishing boat.
It was a living person, Lin Shuixin from the same village as Shen Fei.
At this moment, Lin Shuixin was also in a state of confusion.
He was diving well underwater, when he suddenly felt a force pulling him. He turned around and saw that their small fishing boat was sinking, and the safety rope he left on the fishing boat was pulling him.
After all, he was an old hand who had been diving and fishing for shrimps for many years. Seeing this, Lin Shuixin immediately cut the safety rope on his body with the knife he carried with him and floated to the surface quickly.
Seeing that it was Lin Shuixin from the same village, Shen Fei made a gesture to Shen Wenbo who was driving the boat, asking him to stop the fishing boat and slowly approach Lin Shuixin by inertia.
When encountering fishermen in trouble in the sea, they should help if they can. This is the unspoken rule of all fishermen.
When the fishing boat approached Lin Shuixin, Shen Fei threw the lifebuoy tied with a rope on the fishing boat into the sea and threw it to Lin Shuixin.
Seeing this, Lin Shuixin hurriedly swam to the lifebuoy, grabbed the lifebuoy, rested for a while, and then boarded Shen Fei's fishing boat with the help of Yu Chengqing and others.
After Lin Shuixin got on the boat, Yu Chengqing asked him: "Brother Shuixin, the boat that sank just now, is it yours? Where is Brother Shuichang? Why are you alone today?"
"We went out to sea in two people today, and I don't know where my brother ran away. I was diving on the seabed to pick up sea cucumbers just now. I was picking up sea cucumbers, and suddenly I felt the safety rope being pulled. I looked back and saw that the boat had sunk. I ran away immediately..."
At this moment, Lin Shuixin was still in a state of confusion. He didn't know why their boat sank, nor did he know where his brother Lin Shuichang ran away.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mengmeng, who was the first to discover the sunken ship, spoke again. She pointed to a reef not far away and said loudly:
"There is someone over there!"
Everyone turned their heads to look when they heard her words. There was indeed a person lying on the reef gasping for breath. That person happened to be Lin Shuixin's elder brother, Lin Shuichang.
"It's the eyes of a child. They are really useful!" Hu Hansheng praised Mengmeng.
"That's true. If it weren't for Mengmeng, we might not have been able to see the sunken ship. The ship sank too quickly." Shen Wentao agreed.
At this moment, seeing that the brothers Lin Shuichang and Lin Shuixin were not in any danger of life, everyone was no longer nervous.
Anyway, the fishing boat sank, and the loss was not theirs. It was a good thing that no one died.
After a while, with the help of everyone, Lin Shuichang carried a net bag of seafood and boarded Shen Fei's fishing boat.
After getting on the boat, Lin Shuichang explained:
"I just dived into the water and saw that the rope that tied the anchor of our fishing boat broke for some reason. The boat just drifted to the side and hit the reef, and the bottom of the boat was broken and sank."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
Shen Wentao asked in confusion:
"Why are there only two of you going out to sea today? Didn't you bring my second uncle with you before?"
If Shen Yong was on the fishing boat to control the situation, it would basically not happen. Even if the anchor rope broke, it would not hit the reef and sink.
Hearing this question, Lin Shuixin looked embarrassed and turned to look at Lin Shuichang.
Lin Shuichang thought for a moment and said with a wry smile:
"The harvest has not been good recently. I wanted to save some money, but I didn't expect to lose all the fishing boats. Ugh~"
In fact, he came with Lin Shuixin and his brother today, without bringing other boat control personnel, mainly for one purpose, to take advantage of Shen Fei's absence to steal some of the harvest in the ground traps.
Simply put, Lin Shuichang actually wanted to steal the ground traps today, so he didn't bring Shen Yong with him.
But they didn't expect that the fishing boat suddenly hit a reef and sank to the bottom just after they started diving...
Everyone was speechless when they heard Lin Shuichang's explanation. Other money can be saved, so can the money for the boat control and safety officer? Don't want to die, right?
Everyone complained about them in their hearts, and no one said anything to teach them a lesson., he simply comforted them a few words, and then he stopped caring about them.
As a person, you should not talk too much with people you have just met.
Both of them are old fishermen, and they still save this kind of money. Shen Fei was a little speechless, but he also said nothing, and asked the Lin Shuichang brothers to rest on the fishing boat for a while, and return to the village after collecting the traps.
As for the sunken fishing boat, Shen Fei naturally would not help them salvage it. If they wanted to salvage it, they could find someone else to salvage it later.
However, the cost of salvaging a sunken ship is quite high. Not many fishermen really find people to salvage the sunken ship. Most of them would choose to buy a new boat or simply stop fishing.
"Go back and worship Mazu. The boat sank, but no one is alive. We are lucky.
If you want to buy a new fishing boat, you can come to me. I have boats for sale. If you want to order a new fishing boat, I can also introduce you. My friend is in the shipyard and can jump the queue to order..."
Yu Chengqing heartlessly promoted the business to the brothers Lin Shuichang and Lin Shuixin.
He knew a little about the brothers. They were stingy, but they definitely had money.
Buying a new boat should not be too stressful for them. They are potential high-quality customers.
Lin Shuichang and Lin Shuixin responded to Yu Chengqing awkwardly, and then they didn't say anything more. They took a few cigarettes from Yu Chengqing and stood on the deck to smoke. They didn't mention the problem of the sunken boat.
The harvest of the two sets of traps at the back was not as much as the first set, but it was still good.
The second set of traps also harvested more than 100 kilograms of shrimp, more than 20 kilograms of various fish, and more than 10 kilograms of sea cucumbers.
The third group of traps had the least harvest, with less than 100 kilograms of seafood in total, but the value was not bad, with three sea red groupers weighing about 2 kilograms, 16 lobsters, more than 20 orchid crabs, and more than 10 kilograms of miscellaneous fish and shrimp, which could be worth hundreds of dollars.
Lin Shuichang, standing on the deck of the fishing boat, saw Shen Fei's harvest and felt envious and bitter. If he hadn't thought of stealing the traps, their ship would not have sunk. This time the loss was huge!
'Hey, I'd better buy traps myself. Stealing is really a bad idea! '
Lin Shuichang sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that this shipwreck was a warning from God. If he wanted to make money from traps, he should buy traps himself!
People on the coast depend on the weather for their livelihood, and they all believe in these things to some extent. Lin Shuixin, who was standing aside, also thought that he should not have any crooked thoughts in the future.
