Chapter 233: Rescuing People from Shark Mouth
"Uncle, I don't think it's necessary. It's just a trip out to sea. Why make such a fuss? Nothing will happen."
Xu Ming was sleeping with a look of indignation on his face.
He was pulled out of the bed.
I'm also very angry at this moment.
"We have no control over Xu Guining's departure to the sea, and we don't even want to. But the other two are passing merchants. I heard they came from the mountains and can't swim. If they run away, they will simply die."
Xu Pinghai crossed his arms over his chest and spoke bluntly.
His tone showed his undisguised disdain for his cousin Xu Guining.
"Brother Pinghai is right. Those two merchants still have business with our island. We can't just watch them get into trouble."
Xu Zhengci reached out and pulled Xu Mingzai back.
He persuaded in a gentle voice.
Xu Ming rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.
"A school of sharks has appeared in the eastern waters. If these three little shrimps were to encounter one, they would definitely lose their composure."
Uncle A said something.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get out and stop the people."
Xu Pinghai spoke.
The group picked up their tools and set off.
"Grandpa, let me go and take a look..."
Xu Yiyi stuffed Wu Yuan into Xu Honglian's arms.
"Si Hai is playing with his brother at Grandpa's house. Big sister will be back soon."
Xu Yiyi gave Xu Anyang a look as she spoke, and Xu Anyang instantly understood.
"Why are you two going to join in the fun? You're just causing trouble. Don't go..."
My great uncle sat at the door without even blinking an eye.
As soon as they stick their butts out, you know what they are going to fart.
It is somewhat unreasonable to say that Xu Yiyi was kind-hearted and went out for the safety of the Wu family's uncle and nephew.
I'm afraid he has other ideas.
"Grandpa, you're really wronging us. Anyang and I really want to help. After all, I was the one who brought Boss Wu to the island, so I should also get them out safely. Am I right?"
Xu Yiyi left a word and took the lead to walk towards the river.
Xu Anyang was very timid and looked back at his grandfather.
Since he didn't look angry, he happily followed Xu Yiyi out.
"Big sister won't take me with her!"
Sihai snorted, a little unhappy.
"Your elder sister is going out to sea, what can a little brat like you do with her?"
Xu Honglian pinched the child's face.
"I know, I'm just too young. I will definitely eat well."
Sihai spoke sullenly as he stepped over the threshold with his short legs.
She walked into the stone house and snuggled into her uncle's grandmother's arms.
……
It was noon, the sun was like a waterfall
Poured onto the river without reservation.
Only a few remaining ships were swaying gently with the waves, and the cables rubbed against the hulls, making a creaking sound that intertwined with the cries of seabirds not far away.
They wasted some time, and by then Xu Pinghai and Uncle A and the others had already rowed out.
"What should we do, sister? My father and the others are gone. Should we still go?"
Xu Anyang had just finished speaking.
Xu Yiyi skillfully untied the rope, lifted her skirt without hesitation, walked quickly towards the boat, and held the oars with both hands.
The boat rocked slightly due to her movement, then stabilized again.
She sat on the boat and gave Xu Anyang a look.
"Okay! Let's go now."
Xu Anyang put aside the worries in his mind.
Even if there is no elder to take care of me, I still have Sister Yi Yi.
He was the best swimmer on the island and he caught a shark on his second trip to the sea.
He has no need to be afraid.
Thinking of this, Xu Anyang got on the boat without hesitation and took the other pair of oars.
"If we work hard, maybe we can catch up with my father and the others."
……
"Let's go."
Xu Yiyi gave an order, his voice was crisp and firm, and it was carried far away by the sea breeze.
The two men immediately rowed hard, and the boat sped away towards the estuary like an arrow.
The river gradually widened, and the boat followed the sea breeze and entered the sea.
The sea water was split by the bow of the ship, splashing layers of snow-white waves.
"The eastern sea is so vast, where should we go first?"
Xu Anyang was a little confused, he had also heard about it.
There have been reports of sharks appearing in the waters in this direction, but he hasn't been out to sea for a long time, so he doesn't know whether it's true or not.
"Go this way."
Xu Yiyi pointed in a direction.
Right now it's just a matter of luck.
The two of them were rowing the boat with great effort, and the turtle appeared from somewhere.
With his head held high and his green bean-sized eyes sparkling, he swam straight towards the boat.
Xu Anyang was sharp-eyed and was the first to discover this uninvited guest.
She was so shocked that her eyes widened and her mouth opened so wide that it seemed like an egg could fit in it. She pointed at the turtle and stammered, "Sister Yiyi... Sister, look what that is!"
Xu Yiyi had originally turned her back, but when she heard the voice, she quickly turned around and looked in the direction of Xu Anyang's finger.
After seeing that it was the familiar turtle, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
The turtle swam to the side of the boat and gently hit the hull with its hard shell, making a "bang bang" sound, as if it was eagerly signaling something.
Xu Anyang's face was full of astonishment, his eyes were wide open, and he muttered to himself.
"This...this sea turtle can't really be a spirit, right? Why did it come here out of nowhere?"
Xu Yiyi patted Xu Anyang's shoulder gently and explained with a smile.
"This is the turtle I rescued before. It's very human-like and must have recognized my boat a long time ago."
When Xu Anyang heard this, the surprise on his face faded a little.
But he still asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"But how did it know we were here? The ocean is so vast, it's incredible!"
Xu Yiyi shrugged. She couldn't answer this question either.
Maybe the turtle is really a spirit, otherwise it wouldn't come every time she goes out to sea.
Then he appeared precisely beside her boat.
The turtle seemed to understand their conversation and rammed the boat again.
He stretched his neck and kept looking towards the boat, apparently wanting to get on board.
Xu Yiyi leaned over slightly and reached out to touch the turtle's head.
The turtle seemed to have received a response and swung its limbs happily, splashing even more water.
The two of them worked together to pull the turtle up.
As soon as the turtle got on the boat, it lay comfortably on the deck, turning its head left and right, looking around curiously.
Xu Anyang squatted beside the turtle, reached out and gently stroked its shell, muttering to himself.
"Good boy, I actually let you on board. Sister Yiyi, this sea turtle, won't follow you every time you go out to sea, right?"
Xu nodded and continued rowing.
"Don't look at it, hurry up."
As Xu Yiyi spoke, Xu Anyang reluctantly moved his hand back to the oar.
"Wait a minute, there's no food on the boat right now."
Xu Yiyi coaxed her, she knew how greedy the turtle was.
The little bit I feed it in the morning is not enough to fill its teeth.
Seeing that she is going out to sea now, how can I let her go easily?
The boat continued to move forward on the sea, nimbly moving through the waves, while a sea turtle lay on the deck basking in the sun.
From time to time, he raised his head to look at Xu Yiyi and Xu Anyang.
Along the way, Xu Yiyi rowed the boat in twists and turns according to his memories.
Suddenly, panicked shouts came from the front.
Xu Yiyi's expression froze, and the two of them sped up the boat, rushing towards the source of the sound.
"It sounded like Wu Ruiming crying."
Xu Anyang raised his head and leaned out.
He actually saw a small black dot in the distance.
When we got closer, we saw a small boat shaking violently on the sea, with the hull tilted, as if it would be swallowed by the waves at any time.
On the boat, Xu Guining and the uncle and nephew of the Wu family had already fallen into desperate situation and looked extremely miserable.
Xu Guining's hair, which was usually combed smoothly, was now messy and stuck to her face. Her clothes were soaked in sea water and wrapped tightly around her body, looking wrinkled.
He held the mast tightly with both hands, his face was pale, his lips trembling, and his eyes were full of fear and despair.
Suddenly, a hint of excitement flashed across Xu Yiyi's eyes.
His hand unconsciously touched the dagger on his waist.
The situation of the uncle and nephew of the Wu family is not much better.
Wu Fengan had seen big scenes before, so even though he was so scared that his legs went weak, he collapsed on the deck.
He did not forget to wave his hands wildly, and threw the harpoon out as soon as he caught it.
Unfortunately, my aim was not good and I didn’t hit the target once.
But Wu Ruiming was not in good condition. He curled up in a corner of the boat, trembling all over, kneeling on the boat and kowtowing.
He kept muttering words for mercy, and snot and tears mixed together and flowed down his cheeks. He looked very miserable.
What Xu Anyang heard was indeed his crying.
At this moment, in the sea below them, a huge shark was circling the boat.
The sharp dorsal fin flashed coldly in the sunlight. From time to time, it jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and made a creepy roar.
They haven't even come close yet, but they look scary.
No wonder these three people lost their composure.
Every time a shark approached, the three people on the boat screamed in terror, their cries for help sounded so weak and helpless in the strong wind and huge waves.
Xu Yiyi and Xu Anyang rowed the boat together and slowly approached.
When Xu Yiyi saw this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a sarcastic smile.
Xu Anyang was a little serious, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
As Xu Yiyi steadied the boat, Xu Anyang shouted, "Don't panic! We're here to rescue you!"
While holding tools ready for action.
The shark heard the noise and turned towards this side.
When Xu Guining and the three uncles and nephews of the Wu family heard the sound, they felt as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes.
He waved his arms with all his might and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hurry up and save us! Hurry!"
"Boss Xu, please save us."
Wu Ruiming had shouted himself hoarse in the morning, and now his voice was hoarse.
I also regretted following Xu Guining to go shark fishing at sea.
Who knew they had such bad luck that they encountered sharks as soon as they arrived.
Xu Guining is a useless person, so it doesn't matter if he can't catch the shark.
He was almost dragged into the water by a shark.
Looking at such a ferocious shark, he finally understood why Xu Yiyi refused to take him out to sea.
Under the fierce impact of the shark, their boat had begun to break and water was constantly seeping into it.
Just when he was about to die, Xu Yiyi and the others appeared.
"Their boat is no longer viable. It's too old and leaking. If we delay any further, no one will survive."
Xu Yiyi stood at the bow of the boat and spoke, holding a harpoon.
Xu Anyang kept moving his hands, rowing the boat closer.
At this time, sharks appeared from nowhere and surrounded their boat.
It's impossible to get through.
My attention suddenly shifted to the various tools in the boat.
Suddenly, an idea came to him and he shouted to Xu Anyang.
"Quick, bring the nets and ropes!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Anyang acted quickly and handed the thing to Xu Yiyi.
She said to Xu Anyang while tying one end of the rope firmly to the boat.
"Their boat can't stay here, so they have to come to our boat immediately. I'll throw the fishing net into the sea to attract the sharks' attention. You can take the opportunity to throw the rope to them and let them climb onto our boat."
Xu Yiyi tied the rope very neatly.
Xu Anyang nodded to show that he understood.
Xu Yiyi took a deep breath and threw the fishing net towards the shark with force.
Attracted by the sudden movement, the shark immediately turned and swam towards the fishing net.
Xu Yiyi saw the right moment and shouted to Xu Anyang.
"Quick, throw the rope!"
Xu Anyang waved his arm and the rope fell accurately on the opposite boat.
Seeing this, Xu Guining and the uncle and nephew of the Wu family seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. Without caring about anything else, they rushed to climb along the rope towards the boat.
The big shark was lured away by the fishing net, but the small sharks around it remained indifferent.
They all came over and surrounded the boat.
The three people on the boat over there were still fighting. Wu Fengan wanted his nephew to get on board first, but Xu Guining refused.
During the argument, Xu Yiyi looked over.
Xu Guining suddenly felt guilty.
He took a step back and let the uncle and nephew of the Wu family go first.
I couldn't help feeling uneasy. There was something wrong with Xu Yiyi's eyes.
There is a meaningful suggestion that if he dares to climb up, the rope will be untied and he will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
"No! I'm scared. I don't dare. Uncle, please ask Boss Xu to row the boat over."
As soon as Wu Ruiming's hand touched the rope, he looked down at the sea and knelt down.
I dare not move no matter what.
"Can't you see we can't get through? Come quickly. If we delay any longer, there will be more and more sharks and the boat will soon sink."
Xu Anyang shouted at the top of his lungs.
After just a moment's hesitation, several sharks approached their boat.
They collided together and almost lost their balance.
The shark jumped out of the water, and Xu Yiyi quickly pulled Xu Anyang back.
The shark missed.
"I can't! I don't dare."
Wu Ruiming cried and looked at Wu Fengan with tears and snot.
"Uncle, can you please carry me over there? If you do, I won't be able to help you."
Wu Ruiming said this with grievance.
"Damn it, you idiot, I gave you a chance and you didn't know how to take it."
Xu Guining was so disappointed with his friend that he only said two words.
The ship sank a little more.
Just as he was about to crawl over, Wu Fengan took action.
He carried Wu Suiming on his back.
"Are you out of your mind? If you two keep doing this, the boat will capsize as soon as you get on the ropes. You'll all die then."
Xu Guining wanted to hit him on the head.
Their ship was not a big one, but it was much bigger and taller than Xu Yiyi's small boat.
If it is normal, there will definitely be no problem.
The bad thing is that the bottom planking was damaged.
As soon as the boat started taking in water, it started swaying from side to side and could easily capsize if it was subjected to any force.
