Chapter 92: Life and Death
Because they were too excited, many people couldn't stop their chests from heaving and they were gasping for breath.
Some even burst into tears as if venting their emotions.
Soon, Jiang Zhizhi and his boat were sailing near the fishing boat. Lu Xingchen and Jiang Zhizhi were in tacit understanding and repeatedly emphasized that the two ships should not get too close. The sea water came in the form of waves, and the waves stirred up by the strong wind hit the two ships.
If the two ships are not at a certain distance from each other and the waves are extremely fast, the two ships will not be able to withstand the impact and will easily collide with each other.
Maybe he is not here to save people, but to be cannon fodder.
Lu Xingchen's calm voice rang out: "What are you afraid of?"
"I am a soldier, they are my comrades, we are here to save you!"
"Even if the sky falls, we soldiers will hold it up. We are here and will definitely do our best to bring you back!"
"So don't move and wait for rescue."
The people on the fishing boat especially listened to the soldiers' words. They couldn't help but feel tears in their eyes. They gradually stopped and stopped moving.
Lu Xingchen looked at the little girl and said, "Zhizhi, don't go into the water. It's not good for your health."
His voice was deep.
Jiang Zhizhi pointed at the medicine box and said, "I'm always ready here. Lu Xingchen, you should also pay attention to your own safety. Come back safely, okay?"
"Okay, I promise."
Lu Xingchen tied a thick rope around his waist and the other end to the boat. With the strength emanating from his iron bones, he jumped into the sea with great power and swam towards the old captain's fishing boat.
Jiang Yuanshan, Jiang Yuanfeng, and Jiang Yuanyang tied the thick and long rope around themselves according to the rescue plan they had just discussed, and handed the other end of the rope to Xu Chaoping.
Xu Chaoping tied the end of the thick rope to the boat, using all his strength to tie it.
This is their last life-saving guarantee, and nothing can go wrong.
The brothers jumped into the water one after another. They had loved swimming in the river since they were young and were very good at swimming, so this skill came in handy.
Jiang Zhizhi sat on the boat, ready to rescue the fishermen at any time. Xu Chaoping did not go into the water due to leg problems, but he stood on the boat, waiting for Lu Xingchen's action.
The sound of sea water and waves came one after another. Lu Xingchen quickly swam to the side of the fishing boat. He grabbed the railing on the fishing boat with his powerful hands, used the reaction force of the sea water, and exerted force with his feet to successfully board the fishing boat.
A lot of seawater had already filled the fishing boat. If it had been a little later, both the boat and the people on board would have sunk.
"Jump in, they'll take you back!"
"Then this ship..."
"We finally got such a big fishing boat!!!"
Lu Xingchen snorted angrily: "Why are you still concerned about the ship at this time? Do you want to die?"
"Which is more important, your life or your ship?"
"You are still alive, are you still afraid that you will not have a boat in the future? Only when you are gone will you really lose everything."
The old captain was the first to step forward and shouted at the man who wanted to save the boat: "Are you stupid? Look at this boat, can it be repaired now? In a few minutes, this boat will be submerged by the sea and cannot be used anymore."
"Comrade soldiers, please save us."
Lu Xingchen nodded, grabbed the two men by the back of their collars with his two big hands, and threw them in front of the three brothers of the old Jiang family: "Go on!"
"Here we go!"
"Fuck! This sea water is so damn salty!"
"Swim, swim, swim. We three brothers have ropes tied around us so we won't be swept away by the waves. Just follow us!"
The men were playing an aerial relay, with one standing on the boat and throwing the fish, while the other three caught them in the water, then swam back while dragging the fishermen along.
Jiang Zhizhi on the boat kept checking everyone's condition, his hands never stopping.
Xu Chao, who was standing by, steadily grabbed the fishermen in the sea and pulled them out with great effort.
After going back and forth several times, we finally successfully rescued the people on the fishing boat!
But the sea water on the fishing boat became more and more, and higher and higher, almost drowning the people.
At this moment, Lu Xingchen was the only one left on the ship!
A strong wind blew, and the sails on the fishing boat swayed, as if they would collapse at the next second.
In the eyes of everyone, the man looked very tall, but the ship was obviously about to sink!
Everyone looked at Lu Xingchen anxiously and shouted with worry.
"Captain Lu, hurry up! The boat is going to sink!"
At the most critical moment, Lu Xingchen, as a soldier, showed his tenacity and strength.
He jumped into the sea as fast as he could, his hands waving in the surging waves, and his sturdy figure quickly moved towards everyone.
"Bang!"
Behind the man, a fishing boat sank into the sea!!!
At this moment, a bigger wave rushed towards Lu Xingchen madly, and there was no way to avoid it!!!
The man's face became a little serious. He quickly stabilized his core and moved forward with determination and courage. Following the tremendous force of nature, his whole body was thrown into the air by the roaring waves and then smashed down hard.
"Bang......"
"Blah, blah..." Waves and mist rose up to dozens of meters high.
If you can't avoid it, then face it! In his life belief, there is no word "give up"! He will never give up easily! Including his own life!
At this moment, Lu Xingchen's mind was filled with Jiang Zhizhi's sunny smile, and his whole body seemed to be injected with an invisible and powerful force.
The other end of the rope was tied to the boat, and everyone felt the whole boat shaking violently.
The people were almost scared out of their wits. They were both afraid and anxious, and kept repeating, "Come back! Come back!"
At the line between life and death, Jiang Zhizhi took a deep look at Lu Xingchen who had just swam back from the sea, and his eyes suddenly became red.
The scene just now was as if a big hand had crushed her uneasy and frightened heart to pieces.
The moment Lu Xingchen swam back safely, the fishermen on the boat immediately surrounded him, held his hands with all their strength, and choked with sobs, unable to speak.
"The soldier comrade is back! He is back safely!"
"Let's go back!"
"Yes, let's go home!"
"My mother is still waiting for me to come back."
"Tsk, my wife is still waiting for me on the bed. Are you jealous of me? A wife and children are on the bed!"
It was pitch black all around, and the storm was finally abating.
When they returned to Haikou, Village Chief Xu had come with the men in the village to pick them up. They all stood there watching anxiously, hating themselves for not being able to help and not having such great ability. The women in the village took some ginger from their homes and put it in a big pot to boil hot ginger water for them.
The brothers immediately went to bring Jiang Zhizhi a bowl of ginger water, and only felt relieved when they saw her gulp it down.
After their sister finished her drink, the three of them drank their own bowl.
Lu Xingchen's gaze followed Jiang Zhizhi, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
He could be happy for a long, long time just looking at her like this.
Lu Xingchen: "Brother, drink some brown sugar water to warm your body!"
Xu Chaoping: "Brother, it sounds so intimate!"
Xu Chaoping hasn't felt this way for a long time. This time, he felt like he was back in the days when he was in the army, fighting so hard and never giving up.
Ling Xiaohui was worried about leaving Dabao and Xiaobao at home, but she was also reluctant to let the children go out in the rain.
So she could only wait for news at home.
After waiting for such a long time, there was no movement outside. Ling Xiaohui was worried to the point of breaking her heart.
After a while, Ling Xiaohui finally heard waves of cheers and applause outside, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
When her husband and his comrades returned home safely, Ling Xiaohui felt a lump in her throat. She immediately turned around, quickly wiped the tears from her face, turned back again, and greeted everyone with a smile.
"I've already heated up the water. Go take a hot bath and don't catch a cold."
"I also made brown sugar and hot ginger soup and drank a bowl of it before going to bed to get rid of the cold in my body."
Dabao and Xiaobao rushed over hurriedly and hugged Xu Chaoping's thighs, calling out "Daddy, Daddy" in a crying voice.
Xu Chaoping touched the heads of the two children with his rough, thick hands. "Dad is here. Our Dabao and Xiaobao were very brave tonight. They protected Mom at home."
The tears that Ling Xiaohui had managed to hold back began to flow out again.
The others wisely went ahead.
After Jiang Zhizhi finished taking a hot shower, he changed into a set of clean clothes and pants.
Lu Xingchen stood at the door of the room where she lived, holding a bowl of hot ginger soup.
The man's short black hair was slightly wet. The next second, he noticed Jiang Zhizhi's gaze, and his dark pupils became frighteningly bright.
Jiang Zhizhi's heart was beating fast, and his mind was filled with his fearless courage and his determination to go with the flow while fighting for his life, which could not be shaken off.
"If I don't open the door, you're going to stand here all night?"
Lu Xingchen could only see her and smiled softly: "I know you are soft-hearted!"
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know what to feel in his heart, it was sour and bloated.
"Come in!"
Lu Xingchen's eyes widened, with only two words in his mind...
WTF......
The little girl stood in the room, smelling sweet and soft.
She is really attractive.
Lu Xingchen's face was flushed, his breathing was disordered and rapid, and he was stunned for a while, his ears almost burned.
She took a step back.
He went a step further.
