Chapter 048 Crossing the river and destroying the

bridge Lin Wanxia's face changed, and she ran to the dock without saying a word.

Jiang Sinian followed her with Xingxing in his arms.

She could see her boat from a distance, and the stern had sunk into the sea.

There were people watching on the shore, including fishermen from the island city and seafood vendors.

Grandpa Sun was directing his relatives to try to help Lin Wanxia tow the boat.

Lei Yanjun was among them.

Seeing Lin Wanxia coming, Grandpa Sun's face was heavy, "Xia Xia, have you offended anyone recently?"

"What happened?" Lin Wanxia forced herself to be calm, thought about it, and shook her head, "No."

She was obsessed with making money, either going out to sea or sleeping at home.

Lei Yanjun heard the noise and stood up from the boat, "Xia Xia, someone has dug a hole in the bottom of the boat."

Fishing boats are the lives of fishermen.

Someone wants her life.

Lin Wanxia took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. The first thing to do was to tow the boat up and repair it.

But it was obviously impossible for a few villagers and Lei Yanjun to tow it.

It was still evening tide, and the sea water was rising. It would be more difficult to deal with it when the sea water receded.

Lin Wanxia made a prompt decision and shouted to the crowd watching the excitement, "Anyone who goes down to help tow the boat now will be paid one yuan each."

One yuan is almost a day's income for many people at the scene.

Of course, the income of the vendors is much more than one yuan.

But towing a boat only requires some effort, and you can earn a dollar in no time, so why not do it.

Because Lin Wanxia didn't say that only strong laborers are needed, all the men, women, young and old on the shore jumped into the water.

Jiang Sinian put Xingxing next to Lin Wanxia and rolled up his sleeves to follow him to pull the boat.

Under Jiang Sinian's command, the group of people were organized into more than a dozen rope teams, with male laborers as the main force and others as auxiliary forces. The number of people in each pair varied, and they pulled together following his slogans.

Grandpa Sun was older and didn't go into the water. He sighed and said, "You should have said that only male laborers are needed."

The half-grown children and some women went in just to make money.

Lin Wanxia was just worried and didn't think too much at the time, but now that things have come to this, she has nothing to regret. It's just a loss of money. Comforting Grandpa Sun is also comforting herself, "There are not many men, women, young and old who can't swim here, and they can at least help. If we don't pull it up, it will be stuck in the shallow water when the tide recedes."

The boat can only be repaired after it is dry, and repairing the bottom of the boat may require turning the boat over.

Her boat is not heavy but not light. It is more troublesome if it is stuck on the shore that is neither deep nor shallow and can't float or be towed.

Grandpa Sun knew that Lin Wanxia had made a lot of money recently, so he didn't feel sorry for the hundred or eighty yuan, so he nodded and didn't say much.

Thinking of the word "making money", Grandpa Sun suddenly had an idea, and roughly understood why Lin Wanxia's boat was sunk.

Lin Wanxia didn't have time to think about other things now, and watched the boat being pulled up bit by bit.

It is absolutely true that there is strength in numbers.

More than a hundred people pulled the boat up.

Lin Wanxia breathed a sigh of relief, took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to Grandpa Sun, "Grandpa Sun, please help me divide everyone's wages. I have to send people off, so I can't take care of it for the time being."

Seeing that she was busy, Grandpa Sun took the money and said, "You go and do your work first, and come to my house when you are free. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Sinian had asked for leave and had to go back.

Seeing the boat being towed up, Lin Wanxia felt embarrassed to keep him any longer.

"You go back first! Don't worry, I will take good care of Xingxing, let him play for a few days and then send him back to you."

Jiang Sinian shook his head, "I'll be here in two days, we'll talk then."

He was just recuperating during this period of time, his work on the high seas was not over yet, and he had to continue when his injury was almost healed.

Lin Wanxia understood what he meant and did not try to persuade him much, plus she was thinking about her own boat, so she did not say much and urged him to leave.

Jiang Sinian: "..."

I don't know why, but I felt that Lin Wanxia was getting rid of him. He

shook his head slightly, got in the car obediently and left.

He had asked for leave and had to return to the compound within the specified time.

When Lin Wanxia returned to the dock, she saw that Grandpa Sun was still busy dividing the money, and walked straight to her own boat.

Looking at the several large holes on the bottom of the boat that were chopped by an axe, Lin Wanxia's face looked unhappy.

The boat parked at the dock was mined, and it was obvious that someone did it deliberately.

But after thinking for a long time, she could only think of her fourth uncle's family.

However, they should be busy preparing for Lin Yaoyao's wedding recently, and they should not have the time to mess with her.

Moreover, they could not hide from so many people that they mined her boat quietly in broad daylight.

The boat was mined by nearby fishermen.

And it must have been done by someone with a boat parked at the dock.

Only in this way could her boat be mined without anyone noticing.

Generally, ships docked at the dock are not really landed, but just parked in the shallow sea. In order to prevent being stranded at low tide, there is often a distance between the bottom of the boat and the seabed.

This depth is enough for someone with a heart to swim to the bottom of the boat.

Lin Wanxia frowned and recalled carefully for a long time. She didn't think she had offended anyone.

She was just an ordinary fisherman, fishing and selling fish honestly, and she really hadn't offended anyone.

Lei Yanjun came over with his freshly washed hands and comforted Lin Wanxia, ​​"It's okay, just make a few patches. Besides, aren't you planning to change the boat? If it really can't be repaired, just change it."

Lin Wanxia rolled her eyes at him unhappily. She wanted to change the boat, but she didn't want to change it like this.

If she couldn't figure this out, how could she dare to get a new boat? Even if she changed it, she was afraid that it would be broken again.

The hole was on the bottom of the boat. After repairing it once or twice, the boat became unusable.

Moreover, the repaired boat was not suitable for long-distance travel.

Lei Yanjun knew in his heart how useless such consolation was. He touched the tip of his nose, sighed, and whispered: "I have secretly inquired about it. It was not done by those people at the dock."

Lin Wanxia nodded and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you!" A friend in need

is a friend indeed.

Lei Yanjun helped find someone to tow the boat before she rushed back, and their friendship was not in vain.

After a chaotic battle, the people on the dock dispersed.

Only some heartless children were left, circling around the boat, playing games similar to siege and hide-and-seek.

Xingxing was among them.

Xingxing, who left the compound, was like a bird that had just flown out of a cage, having a great time.

Lin Wanxia shook her head helplessly and turned back to the village.

She had to look for her grandpa.

As for Xingxing, he would go back to the village with his friends after playing enough.

The island city is very remote, and I have never heard of any traffickers.

Grandpa Sun had just finished his shower, and there was a heated meal on the table.

"Grandpa Sun."

"You haven't had dinner yet? Come sit down and eat together." Grandpa Sun said, motioning Dapeng to add more dishes and chopsticks.

Lin Wanxia hurriedly got up to help, "Thank you, Grandpa and Dapeng, but I came back after dinner."

Grandpa Sun didn't persuade him any more.

"Grandpa, what did you call me over for?"

"Have you figured out anything about the boat?" Grandpa Sun asked.

Lin Wanxia shook her head, "Not yet."

Grandpa Sun sighed, "I can probably guess who it is. But it's just a guess, no evidence."
