Chapter 117 Novice Protection Period
Farsail.
All the crew members and cabin passengers were standing on the deck because a body had been found near the toilet not long ago, as well as a broken railing. The captain suspected that someone had fallen into the sea.
Du Mingrui was woken up from her sleep and was still confused, but she did not see Lin Jiaojiao and the others in the crowd. She knocked on the door opposite but no one responded, so she thought they had already come up.
Later, when she heard people around her talking about the death, she was horrified and hurried to the captain.
"Captain, did Lin Jiaojiao and the others get into trouble?"
At this time, the inspector's crew also ran over to report.
"Boss, I just checked. Our people are missing Zhang Sha, and the tenant of the fourth-class cabin, Lin Jiaojiao, and the man in her room."
When the captain learned that the deceased was Wang Xiao, she had a guess, which was almost the same as hers. She held her forehead and ordered the crew to let everyone on the deck go back.
Du Mingrui, who was standing by, felt extremely disappointed when he heard this and asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"Captain, could it be that Lin Jiaojiao and the others accidentally fell into a crack in the boat?"
The captain looked up at her and sighed, "I thought so, but we searched the entire ship and found no trace of them, not even their bodies."
The captain stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "My condolences."
She just stood there in a daze. How could she go back and explain...
Captain's cabin.
There were four people kneeling in the room, the deputy helmsman and three sailors on duty tonight.
The captain walked into the room and passed them directly. She went to the table, sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. But taking a sip did not calm her anger, so she threw the cup at them.
"That's really good! One of you fell asleep, and the other three went out to drink. Do you really think life is too peaceful? Or do you think I've been too lax with you lately, and you've let your guard down?"
The deputy helmsman felt very wronged. She just closed her eyes for a while and who knew so many things would happen in such a short time. She was really harmed by these three people. Patrolling was obviously their job, but now she was directly implicated.
The other three were also completely sober, with bitter looks on their faces. They only knew that thirty lashes were inevitable, but in fact, these were all trivial matters. They were just afraid that they would lose their jobs.
The Far Eastern Sailing Company has the best treatment among all the shipping companies, and there are fewer incidents. They had to fight for their place to get in, and there were usually no problems during patrols. But today, they were craving for alcohol, so after a few drinks, these bad things happened.
They really hated Zhang Sha and Wang Xiao. These two people were troublesome and narrow-minded, especially Wang Xiao, so they didn't like to deal with them.
Du Mingrui walked to the corridor of her cabin with a dizzy head, and saw that Lin Jiaojiao's door was open and some items were placed outside the door. She hurried over.
"What are you doing?"
There were two women in the house cleaning up the room. One of them answered, "Pack up her belongings and send them to her family later."
She said sadly: "Give it to me, I came here with her, I will take her back to her family..."
...
Lin Jiaojiao sat leaning against the side of the boat, eating shachima in her hand. She was very thankful that the food in her backpack was not spoiled, otherwise they would have to make a fire on the boat to cook.
Fu Qi had a cold and a fever. After he had breakfast and took some medicine, he fell into a deep sleep.
She stared worriedly at the endless sea around her. From last night until almost noon, she hadn't seen a single passing ship.
And she had no idea which way to row, so she could only let the boat drift with the wind. The wind should blow the boat towards the shore, right?
"Ahem...Sister Jiaojiao..."
Fu Qi's cough interrupted her thoughts. She hurriedly picked up the bottle of mineral water she had exchanged earlier, unscrewed the lid and handed it to the person who had already sat up.
"Are you feeling better? Are you still dizzy? Drink more water and you'll feel better faster."
His voice was a little hoarse, "Well, I feel much better after taking the medicine and having a good sleep."
She watched him sip the drink and said, "Eat something later, take the medicine and then rest for a while."
"Well, Sister Jiaojiao, didn't you see the big ship passing by?"
Seeing her nod with a worried look on her face, Fu Qi comforted her, "It's okay, there will definitely be a boat passing by."
"Well, I hope so."
There was a reason for her anxiety. The people on the Yuanfan must have thought they were dead. If they couldn't go back before the Yuanfan returned to Zhouzhou, their families would receive bad news.
When I think about it, what if Lin Yizhi and the others receive the message and do something stupid?
But she also knew that there was no rush for this matter. She just hoped that there would be no stormy weather, otherwise their fishing boat would not be able to withstand the strong winds and waves.
After lunch, she took a nap. Fortunately, she exchanged for a fishing boat with a shed, otherwise she would have melted under the scorching sun.
After waking up, she saw Fu Qi still sleeping. She had nothing to do, so she exchanged a fishing rod in the mall, put on a hat on her head and a life jacket, and sat on the bow of the boat.
She put a small piece of shrimp on the hook, then she aimed at the right spot and cast the rod hard. As soon as she cast it, she felt she had caught the bait and hurriedly turned the fishing reel.
Is she that awesome?
She actually caught a...well...a small fish. She didn't recognize the fish, so she had to let it go.
She continued to cast the rod and wait, but this time when Fu Qi woke up, she didn't catch a single fish. She then fell into deep thought. Logically, she should have received a beginner's gift pack for her first time fishing, right?
"Sister Jiaojiao, can I try?"
Seeing that he was eager to try, she said, "Okay, put on your equipment first."
"it is good."
He put on his hat and life jacket and carefully moved towards her. She handed him the fishing rod, taught him how to use it, and then went back to sit next to the fishing hut.
He picked up the cut shrimp meat on the bow, put it on the fishhook, and then gently threw it out.
She watched from the side and shook her head. She then took out the pork roll from her backpack. Just as she was about to ask him if he wanted some, she heard his excited voice.
"I got it! Look, Sister Jiaojiao, there's a fish on the hook."
She quickly stuck her head out to watch and saw that he was spinning the reel very easily, probably catching the same fish as she had before.
Until she saw him lift up the fishing line and saw a yellowtail on it, it felt more painful than killing her.
Then she took out a wooden basin, scooped up some sea water, and asked him to take the fish down and throw it in.
Looking at the fish in the basin, she comforted herself that this was just his beginner's gift package and it would be gone soon.
Even after Fu Qi had used up all the bait, she still looked unsatisfied. "Sister Jiaojiao, fishing is so much fun. Let me count... I actually caught seven! I want to fish more, can I, Sister Jiaojiao?"
"Can…"
It’s okay, this is just his novice protection period.
