Chapter 1,723: The Blame-Taking Heroine

At this time, Lin Tian felt refreshed by the sea breeze, so he simply squatted down and helped Fang Min sort and pack the fish he caught.

While helping, Fang Min kept chatting with him. From her, Lin Tian learned that the caught things would be put into different boxes according to their value.

There is an appropriate amount of seawater in the box, and there are some small holes in the wooden box to keep these seafood fresh.

After these wooden boxes are marked, they will be stored in the warehouse at the back of the ship. When the time comes, they will be sent ashore to a company that specializes in collecting these seafood, and will be directly reported and settled at different prices.

Listening to Fang Min, Lin Tiancai understood why these people were so happy.

That old man is Fang Min's biological grandfather, and most people call him Fang Old Man. The other men are all hired men.

Because Fang Min was seriously ill before, in order to treat her illness, Old Man Fang spent all his money and continued to use his fishing boat as a mortgage to owe a lot of money.

Tomorrow night is the deadline. If the money is not paid, the fishing boat will be taken away, and life will be even more embarrassing by then!

So in order to collect enough money, Old Man Fang had no choice but to go to the sea.

Generally, fishing in the open sea only takes two or three days to go back and forth. After all, their fishing boat is not too big, but in order to make more money, they have been out at sea for a week.

But this week, my luck really came home, and the seafood caught was too little, which was far from enough to repay the debt.

Seeing that the final period was getting closer, they caught up with such a school of fish just when they were worrying about it.

These fish are coming this way as if they are dying, all they need to do is pull up the fishing net.

Unknowingly, more than an hour passed quickly.

The seemingly endless shoals of fish just now have completely disappeared, and the wooden boxes prepared on the boat have actually been used up, while there are still some fish left on the deck that have not been loaded.

Old man Fang made a rough calculation and found that the money he got from selling the fish he caught was enough to pay off his debts, and there was still a lot left over.

"Great, great! God, you really saved me and my granddaughter. I will definitely offer you incense and bow down to you when you get back!"

Old Man Fang couldn't help but said with joy, his face was full of excitement, the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be swept away, and his whole body was full of energy.

All the remaining fish on the deck were thrown into the sea.

Since there is no place to store it, and it will no longer be fresh after it is left on the boat to die, it is better to let it live. This is also a kind of contentment and gratitude.

"Go, Xiao Min, go and cook the food quickly. We are going to have a drink to celebrate tonight!" Old Man Fang said happily.

"Okay!" Fang Min agreed crisply, and then went into the cabin to get busy, while Old Man Fang and the others moved the wooden boxes filled with seafood box by box to the warehouse at the back and stacked them.

Lin Tian didn't have the energy to help, so he had to go into the cabin, help Fang Min next to her, and seemed to borrow her mobile phone.

His mobile phone was given to Gu Yue for safekeeping before going into the sea last night.

I believe that Gu Yue and others must have thought that they were dead when they saw themselves dragged into the bottom of the sea by the monster last night and dragged towards the whirlpool.

He wanted to call to say he was safe so they wouldn't worry.

The most important thing is that I haven't contacted He Qianqian and the others for almost a day. He and I don't want to get along with each other, and it won't be easy to explain it to them then.

"Of course we have mobile phones, but now we are too far out to sea and there is no signal here, so we can't make calls at all." Fang Min said while stewing fish.

Lin Tian sighed in his heart. In this case, he can only go ashore. As for whether he will be roared by the Hedong lion when he returns home, it depends on luck.

Now, he is drifting on the sea, completely disconnected from the outside world, and has no idea what changes have happened outside because of him.

"Where can I pour water? I'm still a little thirsty." Lin Tian said to Fang Min.

"Ah, water, we don't have much water left, only a few over there...ah!" Fang Min said, pointing to the table aside, and was shocked when he saw the empty cup.

"You...you drank all the water?" Fang Min asked in surprise.

"Ah, yes, what's wrong?" Lin Tian said.

"Oh my god, this is our last fresh water, and you drank it all by yourself!" Fang Min said with complaint. Only then did Lin Tian notice that her lips were dry and cracked.

"What should we do now? Grandpa and the others must have come here to drink water. If they find out..." Fang Min was anxious. Rather than complaining to Lin Tian, ​​she was more worried about Grandpa and the others blaming Lin Tian.

Especially Wang Qiang, who has a bad mouth to begin with, will definitely take the opportunity to run against Lin Tian!

I don't know why, but it was obviously Lin Tian's fault, but Fang Min actually sided with Lin Tian, ​​not wanting him to be criticized and blamed by others.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

Lin Tian suddenly felt very embarrassed. He only felt thirsty at the time and didn't realize it at all.

"Oh, it's not your fault, you don't know after all." Fang Min sighed.

As they were talking, Old Man Fang and the others outside had already moved all the wooden boxes.

"Oh, I'm finally done with my work, I can take a good rest!"

"I'm so thirsty, I want to drink water."

"Really, because of a certain person, I can't even drink water now..."

Wang Qiang was the first to walk down. As soon as he got there, he complained that he was thirsty and complained pointedly.

The few people following him were all very thirsty. They were busy as if they were in a war, and they didn't even bother to take a sip of water.

But the few people behind were still in a happy mood.

Although Fang Min had fed Lin Tian most of the fresh water before to save him, they also felt a little dissatisfied.

But now they were shaking their heads indifferently. Anyway, they had returned from the trip with a full load. They had a rest at night and headed back early the next morning.

At worst, drink all that water now. You don’t have to work tomorrow. It’s not a big deal if you endure it for a day!

"Damn it! Where's my water? Who drank all my water!" Wang Qiang walked to the table, picked up the cup and drank water, but suddenly found that the water cup was empty, and he said angrily.

"My water glass is empty too!"

"Mine too, I'm all out of water."

"Who drank all the water? What do we want to drink?"

Old Man Fang and others also walked over. When the others saw their cups, they also shouted one after another. Only Old Man Fang looked at his granddaughter with bright eyes.

"Sorry grandpa, I drank it all. I was too thirsty, so I..."

Fang Min gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and said to the old man.

The other people heard Fang Min stand up and admit. Although their faces were livid with displeasure, they had no choice but to give up. No one was embarrassed to blame a girl.

Only Old Man Fang still stared at his daughter. He believed that his granddaughter would never be such a selfish person.

When Lin Tian heard that Fang Min took the initiative to stand up and actually took the blame for the trouble she had caused, he looked at her in surprise.
