She’s Hard to Get - C299 On a pirate ship
From this point, Xia Wanru was right. Since her son could not be saved, she might as well protect the reputation of the Wealthy Class and prevent chaos in TiaoAo Group, however, there was definitely a time limit to this matter. No matter what the woman said, her son being late was the biggest problem, and if the truth of this matter were to be spread to the world one day, TiaoAo Group would definitely be in great trouble.
Xu Mengyun could not refute Ling Tian’s words because she knew that what he had analyzed was the truth and that no one could survive in that kind of situation. However, she would rather believe in a miracle, as if she and Ling Tian could both escape from that kind of explosion.
Xu Mengyun and Ning Caier did indeed meet the people who saved them, but they were not sent by Ling Tian to the rescue team, but rather, they were large fishing boats that worked in the ocean for a long time.
They were wrapped in a large group of fish, and looked like two corpses hugging each other. They had been fish that had been swimming in the sea for many years, so meeting the corpses was a very normal thing, but they did not expect that these two people, who had been floating in the water for who knows how long, would actually survive.
When they curled up their bodies for the first time, it gave everyone on the boat a scare, they thought that the little fishes hidden inside their bodies made them look like they were alive, and only when Ouyang Jue opened his eyes did they realise that this was real.
Although they did not know why there were two people floating in the sea, they still gave Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier the best treatment. They could not tell who they were, but they could be sure that they were not able to find their corresponding characteristics on the search list of the international conventions.
Normally, if a family member was missing from a shipwreck, his name and address would be posted on the convention website, along with his physical description. Some would even write down the payment, so that even if there were no living people to be found, it would be possible to walk around the body and bring it back to their hometowns for burial.
The website was currently blank, there was no description of the identities of these two people. Most likely, it was because their families were also killed in the sea disaster, or perhaps the time was too short, they did not find out that the two people had already disappeared. Yu Di naturally had his own plans, their village was very poor, if they could exchange the bounty for a large amount of money, they would definitely be willing.
So they treated Ouyang Jue well, and almost gave him all the medicine on the boat. If it wasn’t for the weather, this ship would have stayed here, they would have immediately gone back to send them to the hospital.
These seawater contained a lot of seaweed and shells, making Yu Di feel that Ouyang Jue had already surpassed the human realm, and could use his lungs as breathing, and could even eat the microorganisms in the seawater as food.
“Where is this place!” When Ouyang Jue woke up, he felt dizzy and his ears were ringing. It was as if he couldn’t see the surroundings and couldn’t hear the voices of the people around him, so he could only grab hold of the object closest to him and pull him over to his side. “Where’s the girl with me!”
Ouyang Jue didn’t know if this feeling of stepping on cotton was because he had already arrived in the afterlife, but even if he was dead, he still wanted to stay with Ning Caier. Therefore, he struggled to stand up from the bed and searched the entire room for Ning Caier’s figure.
He felt that this place was simply like a group of renting houses in a city. The air was filled with the stench of fish and sweat, but everything here was crystal clear.
“Where’s that girl? Where’s the girl?!” Ouyang Jue could only place all his hopes on the man before him. From the smell he emitted, he could tell that this was a fishing boat and he knew that he was still alive, because no matter if it was Heaven or Hell, it was impossible to be on a fishing boat.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying, but your luck is really good to be able to survive in such a harsh weather.”
The boss of the fishing boat was not a local, he was speaking a very strange language, Ouyang Jue had never heard of it before, and could only communicate with him through simple English. Unfortunately, the Yu Di’s English was not very good, even after he spoke for a long time, Ouyang Jue still did not know where they were.
Fortunately his movements were not bad, he stumbled around the cabin, and after a few rounds, he finally found Ning Caier in a small storage room. She was curled up on the bed, her entire body ice-cold, and only a weak aura remained. He quickly held her hand in his. was thankful that she did not die, but she was still drowsily sleeping, and he wondered if she had received any injuries in the water.
“Is there a doctor on board? Call him over!”
Ouyang Jue fumbled with his phone, but all of the equipment on his body that could identify himself and communicate with the outside world had all been washed away by Hai Shui, and even his clothes had been changed.
It was the same for Ning Caier. She was only wearing the crew’s old shirt, it wasn’t a woman’s attire at all. Furthermore, her legs were bare, which made Ouyang Jue have a bad premonition. One could imagine the consequences of having a living woman suddenly appear on a group of men’s boat.
“We didn’t touch her, but there were no women on the fishing boat. We had to leave her here.”
Yu Di knew what Ouyang Jue was worried about, so he immediately explained to all the crew members on the boat. They would not do such a thing to a woman who had come back from the dead, furthermore, they would only be able to go out to sea for twenty odd days every time. It was not like they wouldn’t be able to return home in a year or so.
“Thank you.”
Ouyang Jue could tell from Yu Di’s anxious expression and simple words that they had not done anything. Indeed, if they wanted to do anything to Ning Caier, they could have killed him while he was unconscious, that would be the simplest and most straightforward method, so he sincerely apologized.
The Yu Di indicated that they would be back to the shore in seven days. Of course, Ouyang Jue could endure on the ship for seven days, but the only problem he had now was that he was very sick, so he had to think of a way to return to the mainland as soon as possible.
“Do you have a phone? I need to make a call.” Ouyang Jue wanted to call for help as soon as possible. Normally, ships would have a fixed number on them, so they would not be affected by the coast signals.
“Wait, I’ll think of something.”
Yu Di seemed to understand what he meant, but he did not find a phone number for Ouyang Jue. Instead, he called for a doctor for him, who could not understand Ouyang Jue’s words just now, and thought that he was too worried about the girl lying on the bed and hence asked the doctor to explain the situation to him.
However, this doctor’s English was also very poor, and he could only do some basic treatment. The rest was due to a hot oyster soup here to keep the patient cold, but if it was a serious injury or illness, he had no effective method at all.
“I want the phone.”
Ouyang Jue wrote down his name and address in English and indicated for them to make a call. With Ning Caier’s current condition, he had to be sent to the hospital, and this time, Yu Di finally understood, but the place he was taking Ouyang Jue to was just a broken phone line. The phone on the fishing boat had long since broken down, but his family members were already used to them drifting in the sea, so no one would make this call.
“Radar, transmitter?” Ouyang Jue swore that he would learn all the languages after he returned to the Nation, because he really didn’t know how to communicate with this Yu Di, the language had become the biggest generation gap between them. Right now, there seemed to be only one choice left, and that was to wait until this fishing boat landed on the shore before thinking of a way out.
Ouyang Jue checked the boat’s dashboard, and when he saw the number on it, he felt that there was a problem with his eyes, either the dashboard had malfunctioned, or there was no way such a number could exist.
He and Ning Caier were actually 3000 kilometers away from the coastline, this definitely could not happen. If they had really wandered this far in the sea, they would have already drowned.
He gestured for a long time, hoping that the captain would understand that there was something wrong with the number. However, he had even repeated such a simple matter like calling a phone several times, not to mention using complicated words. No matter how much he danced around this Yu Di, his face was filled with confusion.
He looked at the last words he wrote on the paper: 10, and then drew the shore and sea, this number was the fastest date for them to reach the shore, if Ouyang Jue wanted a result, it could only be done after the ship docked.
Ouyang Jue was also helpless towards this Yu Di. Such a big fishing boat did not even have a person who could speak English, he did not know how they normally dealt with business, could it be that their business would only be conducted in their own country, how could they expand their business with such a large scale?
Ouyang Jue unconsciously used his CEO’s thought process, but he knew that this kind of thinking was useless. Words were the biggest obstacle between them, and it could not be resolved …
He looked out the window of the captain’s cabin, hoping to see some passing ships calling for help. He didn’t need any help from them, as long as he could speak a language he could understand.
3000 kilometers, if this number was really true, then the search and rescue team would not be able to reach this place no matter what, which didn’t follow normal logic. If Ouyang Jue was a search and rescue personnel, he wouldn’t extend his range to here, so he could only save himself and think of a way to inform his family of his location.
As night fell, they all returned back into the cabin. Seeing that Ouyang Jue had woken up, they all gave him a big hug, their bodies were very powerful, but their brains were very simple. Yu Di at least had a few words in English, but these workers could only say Yes and No.
