Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"It will take more than an hour to get there, Aqin. I dare not drive too fast." said Lao Mao.

There are no brakes on the boat. In a foggy day like this, when you see a reef, you won’t even have time to turn the rudder.

"Brother Mao, let me drive." Saving lives is like putting out a fire. If you go slowly and the other ship sinks completely, there will be no point in going by yourself.

Seeing the old cat hesitate, he added, "I'm luckier."

This sentence is very useful. For fishermen, luck means everything. A good harvest and peace can all be attributed to luck.

Giving up the helm, Zhao Qin took over and increased the boat speed to the maximum.

"It's so fast, the Diligent may not be able to keep up."

"Contact my brother and tell them that they don't have to chase them at full speed, just follow the planned route."

Zhao Qin's attention was also highly tense at this moment.

After driving for more than 40 minutes, he narrowly avoided a low reef. The old cat was also frightened and sweated profusely.

"Aqin, slow down a bit, others can't be saved, let's..."

Zhao Qin was about to agree, but suddenly an idea came to his mind. He opened the system and searched for the reef.

After a while, the system map marked the location of the densely packed reefs. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. It really worked.

Regardless of what was far away, he focused all his attention on the course he was traveling.

Upon closer inspection, my scalp tingled. There was indeed a forest of reefs next to the point where the ship ran aground. If I rashly rushed in, I would probably really crash into the rocks.

"Brother Cat, inform my eldest brother that their boats should stop following us."

"why?"

"I can't explain it right now. I feel really bad."

Lao Mao picked up the radio and contacted the Diligent. Zhao Ping on the other end was still asking why.

Zhao Qin grabbed the intercom and said, "Brother, listen to me and stay where you are. If anything happens, I will notify you. Remember not to move. This sea area is very complicated."

After receiving Zhao Ping's affirmative response, he relaxed a little.

An hour later, according to the system map, they had already entered the reef forest.

What horrified the old cat was that he found that Zhao Qin was actually driving with his eyes closed.

"Brother Mao, don't worry, look at the fluctuations in the water meter." Zhao Qin seemed to be able to sense Old Mao's nervousness and spoke to comfort him.

The old cat looked at the water meter and found that the value of the instrument fluctuated greatly. It might be 60 to 70 meters deep in one moment and more than 10 meters in the next moment.

He couldn't help but be shocked, "Aqin, are we on a dark island?"

He was an old fisherman and quickly guessed what was going on.

The so-called hidden island is the same as the hidden reef, that is, the land base is lifted up to form an island, but the height is not high enough and it does not float above the water.

There are many possible reasons for its formation, including volcanoes, earthquakes, etc.

"Yes, fortunately it is high tide now. If it were low tide, I don't think we would be able to enter this channel now."

"Aqin, to the west, I saw it."

Zhao Qin opened his eyes at this time, and instead of driving straight west, he made an arc from the south. As the distance got closer, he also slowed down.

Looking to the west, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The other party's ship had not completely sunk, and it seemed that the damage was not serious.

Lao Mao looked over with a telescope and saw that the other party had also seen their boat. Two boatmen were shouting and yelling at the raised bow.

It took more than ten minutes before Zhao Qin's boat finally came closer.

"Hurry up, come here, everyone. We have to leave here quickly while the tide is high." Zhao Qin shouted at them.

Because of the reefs, the two ships couldn't get close to each other. The distance between them was about ten meters, so they could only swim over.

Four boatmen wearing life jackets jumped into the water and swam over here. The old cat clung to the side of the boat, waiting to pull people in.

Zhao Qin looked at the boat across the way. The two were still arguing and shouting about something. They had no intention of coming over. "Are you guys leaving or not?"

He was a little annoyed that they were still arguing at this time.

"I still have some seafood here. Please come over and help me transport it. There are millions of goods here. Please come over here."

The old cat just pulled up a person, and when he heard this, his hair stood up in anger, "Mother Serin, do you want money or your life? You don't understand what I'm saying. We won't be able to get out when the tide recedes."

"I spent millions to buy this boat, and it also has all this seafood. You can't leave like this."

"Aqin drives the boat and leaves them here to die." Old Cat naturally said this to the other party.

Zhao Qin was also quite anxious. Any more delay would increase the danger. Besides, his ship couldn't get close at all, so he couldn't move the sea goods.

"I'll count to five. If you don't come, we'll really leave."

At this time, four boatmen had already boarded the boat, and Zhao Qin yelled at the other two.

The man who had been talking to them was actually not very old, probably in his thirties. Now he was jumping up and down and cursing at another man who was a little older.

"5...4...3..., I don't care about you anymore. Just stay here and fend for yourselves."

Zhao Qin was really furious. He could understand the other party's thoughts. The ship and cargo cost two million, and once they left, they would be gone. No one would feel good at this time.

But at this time, a decision must be made.

He pretended to drive the boat and stepped on the accelerator. The other party thought he was really going to leave, so he jumped into the water and swam towards him.

Seeing this, the other older one also sighed, jumped off the boat and swam over here.

After confirming that the two people were on board, Zhao Qin pushed the accelerator to leave, but the next moment a man came into the wheelhouse and said, "Why don't you move over? There are millions of seafood on the ship."

Seeing that Zhao Qin was unmoved, the other party gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, come over, I'll give you one tenth of the seafood."

"Get out of here." Zhao Qin glared and shouted. The other party stared at him for more than ten seconds before turning around in frustration.

After a while the old cat entered the wheelhouse and "started quarrelling on the quarterdeck again."

"Is that older man the helmsman?" Zhao Qin could probably guess that it was normal for the shipowner to blame the helmsman when the ship hit a reef.

"Yeah." The old cat didn't know what to say. The helmsman steered the boat onto a reef, so it was understandable that the boss was angry.

Zhao Qin carefully drove the boat out of the reef forest, and then returned the rudder to Lao Mao, "Brother Mao, go back, you are upset."

The old cat didn't say anything more this time. Seeing an accident at sea was unlucky. He had to hurry back, clean the boat, and then go to the temple to burn incense.

Zhao Ping's ship was contacted via radio, and the two ships came together soon.

Zhao Qin was annoyed by the noise from the ship owner, so he drove him directly onto the Diligent, but left the helmsman on his own ship, so that at least the return journey would be quieter.

The two ships determined their route and started heading home.

The fog had completely dispersed by now, and there was no sign of it gathering again in the evening.

At dinner time, Zhao Qin took a small basin and personally served a bowl to the helmsman, "Brother, have something to eat."

"Thank you, brother, calm down. Boss Gu is also very anxious."

"Why did you start fishing before the fog cleared?" Zhao Qin asked puzzledly.

The helmsman smiled bitterly, shook his head and said nothing, but a boatman next to him couldn't help but speak up, "This is not Brother Shu's fault, it's all because of Boss Gu's urging."
