under the vortex

Chapter 66 Family
The tide has begun to recede slowly after reaching the top, and the heavy rain has temporarily stopped. Occasionally, the howling wind pushes the rickety hull like a wooden clock pendulum back and forth.

Baimashan followed Mr. Wang to fish on the side of the boat for a while, and the mood of fishing this time was quite different from before.

What used to be for entertainment, is now for survival.

But for some reason, the school of fish seemed to have left this sea area. The two of them fished for a long time before catching a few small fish. The difference from the last time they caught fish without stopping was simply too great.

Mr. Wang was silent, probably because he didn't eat well or sleep well in the past two days, his face was very haggard, and he was completely different from the one who taught them how to fish that day when his face was full of red.

"Xiaobai, tell me, can we go back?" the old man suddenly said.

Looking at the vast sea, Baima Mountain didn't know what to do, but he still wanted to comfort the old man: "Although we can't contact the rescue now, the family members must have called the police. Last night, there was heavy wind and heavy rain, and the search and rescue personnel were unable to dispatch. Today it cleared up , should be able to start the official search and rescue, we must have confidence in the national rescue team. Besides, no matter what, you are the person on this boat who has the most regrets."

Mr. Wang smiled wryly: "Yes, I have lived for more than 70 years, which is enough. But people are greedy. My grandson is not married yet, and I want to watch him get married and start a business, and I want to hug his children. I don't know. Is there still a chance for this?"

Baimashan smiled: "You have long earlobes and big lobes, and you have a long-lived appearance. Don't worry, you can not only hold your great-grandson in your arms, but also watch him go to college. Everyone in our boat can follow you to get rich."

The old man's mood was relieved by these words, and his mood was no longer so low.Thinking of his grandson who was better and more filial than his son, he finally had a smile on his face.

At this time, the relatives on the shore did gather at the police station, and the search and rescue team rushed to find the whereabouts of the people on board.

"Comrade, the level of wind and waves at sea today is normal. When can you go out to search?" The person who spoke was a young man who looked about 25 or [-] years old, and his voice was urgent.

"Don't worry, after the wind and waves have subsided this morning, we have started searching according to the route you provided." The staff of the Maritime Safety Administration who was in charge of the reception looked at the man in the white shirt and trousers in front of him. Wearing a pair of sneakers.

"When will there be any news?" Wu Peng was very anxious. He hadn't been able to contact the old man since Sunday morning. Now it's Monday, and the search team has just set off. Can he not be in a hurry?

The phone rang, and he picked it up irritably. It was another intern from the law firm asking him where he was. The boss was in a bad mood and told him to come back quickly. The morning meeting was about to start.

When Wu Peng thought of those boring meetings, he said, "I have something to do today, please ask Tang Lv for a day off for me."

"You asked for leave again?" The other party advised him that he had nothing important to do and it's better to come here. As an intern, he took more time off than his partner this time, obviously he didn't want to mess around.

"Important matter, my grandfather is missing, and I will be guarding at the Maritime Safety Administration these days. Forget it, don't ask for a day off, just give me a week." Wu Peng really doesn't want to hang out in the law firm, if not The old man desperately asked him to study law, and even forced him into the law firm without his connections. He is now a dream-chasing hip-hop singer.

The colleague over there was almost scared to death by him, and called him a good guy. In order not to be affected by Yuchi, he asked him to call to ask for leave before hanging up.

Wu Peng sent a message to Tang Lv, telling about the disappearance of the old man, and then said that he had to wait for the old man's message and asked for a week off.

The other party didn't reply, and Wu Peng didn't care, because he didn't care about this job, anyway, it wasn't what he liked to do, and it would be better if he was fired, so that he could do the music he likes.

Thinking of this, he threw the briefcase on the chair in the hall, sat down beside him, pulled off the tie around his neck, and stuffed it directly into the bag.

Wu Peng, who had unbuttoned his neckline, seemed to have come to life again. Under his short cropped hair were excellent facial features, and a very small and very shiny earring on his left ear was particularly eye-catching.He took off the rimless glasses on the high bridge of his nose, and squeezed between his eyebrows with his fingers. He has been worried since the old man disappeared. He also called his father, but his unreliable father called Call, but always busy tone.He can only send a message, but the other party hasn't replied to him so far, and he doesn't know if he saw it or not.

He was a little tired, with his arms and head resting on the back of the chair, thinking about what else he could do to find the whereabouts of the old man besides waiting stupidly.

At this time, a couple in their 60s and [-]s rushed in. The woman's eyes were red, and she asked the staff: "Comrade Coast Guard, my daughter, my daughter went out to sea on a boat two days ago. I haven't come back, I haven't contacted her for two days, she originally arrived on Sunday afternoon, and now she hasn't come back on Monday, can you send a helicopter to search and rescue people immediately?"

The staff understood it as soon as they heard it, and asked, "Are you all from Ludao Community? What's your daughter's name?"

As soon as the couple heard it, they knew that someone had come to report the case, and nodded quickly: "Yes, it is the Ludao community. My daughter is Jia Wenjun, a property employee. Their community organized a yacht fishing activity, and she followed I went. What is the name of the ship?"

"Shell." Jia Wenjun's father added beside him.

Wu Peng, who was sitting in the waiting area, heard the words and turned to look at the couple.

The staff registered the missing person Jia Wenjun's information and the contact numbers of the old couple, and said that they had sent a search team out to find them, and if they had any news, they would call them and ask them to go back and wait.

Because the old couple was worried about their daughter, they braved the wind and rain last night and couldn't buy air tickets and high-speed rail tickets. They insisted on taking the hard-seat train all night. Now they are not willing to go back and wait for news.

The staff had no choice but to point to the side where Wu Peng was sitting: "The family members in the community are waiting there, you should go sit and wait there too."

The worried couple had no choice but to come and sit down. Seeing Wu Peng leaning on the seat next to him, Jia Wenjun's mother said, "Young man, is your family on that boat?"

Wu Peng opened his eyes, turned to look at them, and nodded: "My grandpa is up there."

Mother Jia didn't expect there to be such an elderly owner on board, and her eyes were red when she thought of her daughter's age.

Papa Jia asked, "Is your surname the first one you reported?"

Wu Peng shook his head: "Miangui's surname is Wu. When I came to report the incident on Sunday evening, someone had already been there. I heard it was a friend of the ship owner."
