Returning to 1990, Starting with a Big Catch

Feng Ye just wanted to save someone who had fallen into the sea, but he didn't expect to drag himself down with them, returning to 1990.

He also wanted to do business with the Russians, t...

Chapter 799 Floating Corpse?

This typhoon will not directly affect their operating area.

However, the weather forecast indicates that the wind will gradually increase, which may cause huge waves and pose a certain danger.

Therefore, for safety reasons, both ships decided to cease operations and return home ahead of schedule.

It's a good time to go back and rest for a few days to get back into shape.

After making the decision, both ships hauled in their trawl nets and immediately returned to port.

On the return journey, the wind and waves gradually picked up, with the waves crashing against the hull and making a loud noise. The fishing boat rocked violently, which also affected its speed.

The others were fine; they'd seen it all before and were unharmed. But Ye Chenliang got seasick again.

Fortunately, it seems that after the baptism he experienced upon his release, his symptoms have lessened considerably, and he is barely able to hold on.

Perhaps after one or two more times, no matter how big the waves are, he will no longer get seasick.

By 3 p.m., perhaps having moved out of the typhoon's influence, the wind and waves actually began to subside.

Except for Ye Chenliang, who was still seasick, everyone else came out of the cabin to get some fresh air.

Feng Ye lit a cigarette, stood at the bow of the boat, and gazed into the distance.

The sea and sky blend into one, the vast expanse of misty waves stirs my thoughts like a surging tide.

As he was calculating his gains from this voyage, he suddenly heard Han Qiwen shout from the side, "Over there, look!"

Feng Ye snapped out of his thoughts and looked in the direction A-Can was pointing. His eyes widened in disbelief.

"Holy crap, this is so unlucky!"

Not far to the left, on the sea, a human head bobbed up and down in the waves.

"Damn, could it be a floating corpse? We've run into one again?"

Ah-chan frowned deeply, as if he had seen a ghost.

Encountering a floating corpse is not a good thing.

I remember last year when they were sailing out to sea on the Rising Sun, they also encountered a floating corpse, which scared them half to death.

Now that we've encountered this again, it's hard not to feel complicated.

If last year's voyage at sea was unlucky because I didn't worship Mazu, then this time I did worship her with utmost sincerity.

Not only did they visit the Tianhou Temple to burn incense on the first day of the lunar new year, but they also enshrined Mazu on their ship. They insisted on burning incense before setting sail and every morning, never slacking off.

How could something like this happen?

This is fucking weird!

Feng Ye felt a mix of emotions, including helplessness and confusion.

Upon closer inspection, I immediately realized something was wrong.

"No, it might still be alive, not a floating corpse."

When he said this, everyone was stunned and stared at him intently with wide eyes.

"I don't see anything wrong with it."

"Yeah, I didn't see it either. I still think it's a floating corpse."

"The way it's floating on the sea is incorrect."

Feng Ye frowned and said, "Look, only his head is above water, but his body is submerged. He must be wearing a life jacket or holding onto something with good buoyancy, like a piece of wood."

"Now that you mention it, it really is true."

"So, that means this person is still alive?"

"Possibly."

"Logically, if someone dies, their body should float on the surface, not just their head, but..."

Feng Ye analyzed logically, "But I didn't see any obvious struggling movements, so maybe it's half-dead."

"That's one thing, but it's also possible he just died recently, right?"

Han Qiwen retorted, "When a person drowns, shouldn't their body sink first and then float to the surface after a while?"

As you just said, Ah Ye, this person might have been wearing a life jacket or something similar, which prevented them from sinking after death, thus keeping them in this strange position.

His explanation made some sense, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What do we do now? Should we fish it out?"

"Let's fish it out."

Ah-Can said with a look of disgust, "Since we've run into it, let's just fish it out."

"Ah-Can is right. Whether they're dead or alive, since we've run into them, we have to get them out of there."

"Ah-Can is right. Whether they're dead or alive, since we've run into them, we have to get them out of there."

Feng Ye then instructed, "Ah Can, my brother may have noticed the situation in the sea. Go and tell him to sail over so we can retrieve it."

Ah-Can nodded, quickly ran to the driver's seat, and then ran back a moment later.

At this moment, Feng Xuan had already slowed down and steered the boat closer to the floating head.

The sudden deceleration of the Dong Sheng was quickly noticed by Xiao Zhaojun on the Feng Shou.

He contacted Feng Xuan and learned that there was a person floating in the sea whose fate was unknown. Although he also felt it was bad luck, he still slowed down and came closer to check the situation.

Faced with the head whose fate was unknown, Feng Ye and the others only discussed it briefly at first, but when the boat approached and they started to retrieve it, they all tacitly shut their mouths.

Everyone was afraid that it really was a floating corpse, and they were afraid of saying things they shouldn't have said, or startling something they shouldn't have disturbed.

The atmosphere on the boat was somewhat heavy. Han Qiwen and the other three boatmen used long-handled nets to reach into the water and paddle the floating person, trying to get him to drift towards the boat.

It's only easy to get it up if it's close to the side of the boat.

Ah-chan lay on the side of the boat, holding his breath and craning his neck to look.

Feng Ye, on the other hand, took off all his clothes and prepared to go into the water.

The gunwale is a bit high; without someone getting out of the boat, it's impossible to get the person in the water directly up.

Ah Can turned his head and saw Feng Ye, who had taken off his clothes and was only wearing underwear. He was stunned for a moment: "Why are you taking off your clothes?"

"What else can we do but wait to go into the water and bring the person up?"

"Well... how about I go?"

"You're only telling me now, after I've already taken off all my clothes. Don't you think it's too late?"

Feng Ye rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Stop standing there watching, go and get me two ropes."

"Uh... okay."

Ah-Can quickly went and returned, handing over two ropes in his hand: "Here, Brother Ye."

Feng Ye took the rope, tied one end of one of the ropes around his waist, and had A-Can hold the other end.

Without proper safety measures, he wouldn't dare to blindly go into the water, even though he was confident in his swimming skills.

Even without wind, the sea has three-foot waves, let alone now with strong winds and high waves.

The ship can withstand it, but people can't.

Even if you can swim and are a good swimmer, it's useless in such windy and wave-like conditions.

A wave can wash over you and instantly engulf you.

Those who can swim can surface to catch their breath after the waves have passed and then swim a few strokes.

But how many waves can it withstand?

Human physical strength is ultimately limited; at most, one can only endure a little longer before being unable to withstand the fury of nature.
