67. An old yacht
Last night, the book review area received the approval of the all-metal bullet shell god, and I was very excited!
Thank you for the reward from Brother Purple and thank you to the friends who have been supporting this book!
---------------------------------
The sparkling Huaxi Lake is like a pearl inlaid on the grassland, and it is very beautiful from the air.
Emperor Wu was riding a 7K for a leisurely walk, when he saw a small helicopter flying from the north, which was uninvited by Lion Finn.
Emperor Wu gestured to him and let the helicopter land in the open space on the west side, eight or nine hundred meters away from the pasture, in order not to disturb the cows who were about to enter estrus.
Far away, the lion began to cry, very excited.
"Oh, do you know how to do magic, remember what we called this place when we first came here?"
The lion wears an orange plaid shirt, which is his usual style, and he has a long golden hair and three-dimensional features, like American movie star Josh Holloway.
"Haunted house. Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows.
The lion gave Emperor Wu a big hug, "That's right, man, it was a haunted house a month ago! And now, the most beautiful pasture in Australia! You should let Turnbull know what you're capable of!"
Emperor Wu hurriedly controlled his arms, "Calm down, man, I just cleaned up here, besides, who is Turnbull?"
The lion looked at Emperor Wu like an alien, making his scalp tingle.
"You got your Australian green card?" the lion asked.
"How could it be. Emperor Wu shook his head, there was still a certain distance between him and the green card.
The lion touched his chin and said mysteriously: "If you have fixed assets, then you are also an Australian, and you don't know Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull." ”
Emperor Wu laughed, "Well, my understanding of the Australian government is still stuck in the Rudd era. ”
"Yes, I liked Kevin Rudd and had a big fight with my dad about it. The lion covered his head with his hands, and it seemed that he was impressed by the campaign.
"If you want to learn how to ride a horse, I'll buy some good horses from Berkeley at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Emperor Wu pointed to the 7K who were taking a leisurely walk and said.
"Seriously, I have a phobia of horseback riding, because when I was a child my father made fun of me and put me on a strong horse without a saddle, and as you can imagine, he laughed happily. The lion spread his hands helplessly.
"Are you sure it's your own?" Emperor Wu said faintly.
"I do want to do a paternity test with him, it's just that he's gone. The lion half-turned around and didn't let Emperor Wu see his eyes.
When his father died, Emperor Wu patted him on the shoulder and said embarrassedly, "Sorry man, I shouldn't have joked about this." ”
The lion laughed, and his voice was very small, as if he were talking to himself, "That old fellow, who often runs into my dreams while I am asleep, is really a stubborn old fellow. ”
"It's sad to go, man, go sit inside. ”
Emperor Wu has strengthened his belief in taking over his parents, and he is now living a life that 90% of the world's people yearn for.
Lions pass by, attracted by the green pastures, and every time they pass by with tourists, they exclaim: "Oh my God, I can't believe it, this is a paradise!
When visitors are Chinese, the Lions proudly say to them, "Hey, that rancher is my friend Chinese!
After drinking a glass of wine, the lion staggered and flew away, this should be regarded as a wine flight, I don't know if there are traffic police on duty in the Australian sky.
Emperor Wu remembered that on the day he met Hector, the brown bear, he found an abandoned speedboat on the shore of Huaxi Lake, so he went to see if he had the idea of giving it a try, maybe he could still start it, and by the way, he could look at the strange light.
The wrecked boat was on the west shore of Huaxi Lake, and there was a beachhead that jutted into the lake, about 30 meters long, which was a small natural harbor, and the small boat was lying in the harbor.
The beachhead is wonderful, and through the lush groves, you suddenly come to an open field, half a basketball court, white sand, scattered with pebbles, and the scenery is very untouched.
Emperor Wu had a flash of inspiration, named this beachhead Chuluo Beach, it is a very fulfilling thing to name it at will on his own territory, this private territory, you can call it whatever you want, and others also recognize.
If you name it "Dog Farm Farm", then people outside will say to their friends, "Have you ever been to Dog Farm and it's beautiful!" Your friend will answer, "Yes!" That's right! Dog Farm I want to see in my dreams! What do you think of "Panty Beach" and "Strip Naked Lake"?
The dinghy with the visor looked old, probably left by old Hans, and was a sightseeing boat, different from the simple open-air boats that you usually see, although this boat is dilapidated, you can still see the ingenuity of the designer.
The hull is streamlined, the whole shape is like a wedge-tailed eagle lying on the water, the head is the cockpit, the back is a semi-enclosed structure, the eagle body is placed with seats, the seats are not in a row, but around a folding table a circle of brown and yellow soft leather sofas, very family-like, a family of six has no problem holding a party in it, the eagle butt is a small platform ten centimeters higher than the hull.
The gray hull is rusty, there are many holes on both sides that have been eroded by the wind or lake water, the speedboat is piled with ten centimeters of mud and sand, and the sofa is incomplete and has long been worn away.
On the side of the hull there are faintly written the letters "Mary I", Emperor Wu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Mary I is also called Bloody Mary, and there is a terrifying legend about this name.
Emperor Wu jumped into the dinghy along the river bank, and the inside looked very spacious, and he would not feel depressed when he stood up straight. The worktop is shabby, but it looks like it's still working. This kind of speedboat uses a push-button switch, and Emperor Wu took a deep breath and slowly pressed half of the button.
Sudden Sudden Rush!
The sound of the engine is very sharp, like a cow roaring, and it can still be driven! The foreigner makes something really awesome.
Emperor Wu ran to the bow of the boat to untie the rope, tried to pull the steering wheel, and the small wrecked boat started along the harbor, although the engine was noisy, but it didn't matter, Emperor Wu didn't plan to drive far.
It is a wonderful thing to sail on Huaxi Lake, the trees on both sides are lush and green, like wandering in a primeval forest, Emperor Wu most wanted to see the island in the middle of the lake, and the scene from the terrace of the wooden house is that there is a small hill full of rocks in the middle of the island, and whenever the sun sets, there will always shine brightly, like a huge jewel.
The lake water is so clear that you can see the pebbles below, this kind of picture is the same as the Great Barrier Reef on TV, but there are no fish, shrimp and crabs in Huaxi Lake, and you can breed some in the future, and you can drive a boat in the lake to fish.
"Mary I" had just gone a few hundred meters when the engine became louder and louder, startling the birds in the woods.
If you drive any further, it will have to explode, and Emperor Wu turned around and drove towards the shore.
There was a loud bang, accompanied by a strong mushy smell.
The engine broke down.
"Damn, I should have thought that this dinghy was unreliable a long time ago!"
Emperor Wu muttered to himself and went to the back to check the situation.
Fortunately, the engine did not spontaneously combust, only burned the line, and the dinghy stopped in the lake and couldn't move!
My God, do you want to swim back? Although Emperor Wu knows how to plan, it is a buoyant sea, the lake is not buoyant, and the position of the boat anchoring is less than 20 meters from the bottom of the lake, which is enough to submerge ten Yao Ming, whose heads and feet are connected in strings.
Shet!
He had to rummage through the cabin to see if there were any tools that could help.
When the cabin was opened, a musty smell surged up, and Emperor Wu almost threw it up.
What the hell! It smells like stinky socks that haven't been washed for ten years and have been marinated in a stinky tofu vat for a year.
endured the stench and pulled inside, and sure enough, there was a stinky sock......
When he turned over an orange-red object, Emperor Wu's eyes lit up, this is a life jacket, something is better than nothing, and it can save lives at critical moments.
Relying on this life jacket, he swam back to the shore, looked back at the smoking runabout, it was a pity to lose it, and it was a good man to tinker with an engine and replace it.
Emperor Wu returned to the ranch wet, and Tex was mending the fence, and he was surprised to see the boss like this.
After he told Tex, the Turks laughed and said with a smile that if he was the one who drove the boat, he would have to spend the night in the dinghy and wait for the police to come to the rescue.
The two decided to pull the dinghy back to shore for refurbishment, and the German-made shell was not a big problem, the quality was trustworthy, and it also saved a lot of money to buy a new boat.
Emperor Wu found a few bundles of coarse hemp rope from the ranch warehouse, which were connected from end to end, and when they were long enough, they were thrown into the back box of the birds of prey.
The two plan to rely on the strong power of the birds of prey to bring "Mary I" back to the small harbor.
Back on the shore, "Mary I" still quietly rested in the lake.
The work of getting on the boat with hemp rope naturally fell to Emperor Wu, Tex was born in special forces, and this kind of task should have been given to him, but recently his leg was injured and wrapped in bandages, and he couldn't touch the water, and this injury was really not the right time.
"BOSS, do you want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a new boat, this is not a good job. Turks laughed.
Emperor Wu shrugged, "More than 100,000 Australian dollars can buy a house in my hometown." ”
It's still fun to watch an old ship become a new one.
"It's a lot of fun to work too, good luck, boss. ”
Tex sat leisurely in the Raptor with a relaxed face, and his job was to wait for the boss to fix the hemp rope to the speedboat and step on the accelerator.
"When I bring Mary I back, you will have to pay a fee of five dollars for each sitting, otherwise I'm sorry for the effort I spent. Emperor Wu said.
"Can I get an annual card, or a quarterly card? ”
Emperor Wu didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he plunged into the lake, the life jacket was very powerful, and he floated in an instant, and it was easy to swim.
"Boss, I've got a hot dog here, would you like to try it?" Tex, teasing incessantly on the shore.
"I'll clean you up when I get ashore, don't think you're big, remember when I beat Dalihaus?"
Turks spread his hands and said to himself, "It's true, Dalihouse is a ruthless character, and his physical fitness is no less than mine. ”
As soon as the hot dog in Turks' hand was half eaten, he heard Emperor Wu beckoning to this side, and he had already tied the rope.
Emperor Wu made an OK gesture, Tex started the raptor, and slowly stepped on the accelerator, the resistance of the lake was not small, and the speed of dragging the speedboat was very slow.
I only heard Emperor Wu shouting on the boat, "Use your strength to eat hot dogs, so that you can't go back until tomorrow morning!"
Tex shook his head and shouted, "Sit tight boss!
With one foot on the accelerator, the birds of prey roared, and the dinghy accelerated towards the shore.
"Hurry up!" Emperor Wu was very excited, he controlled the steering wheel, as if he was speeding a boat.
The speedboat rippled through the lake and rushed to the shore.
When there were still fifty meters to the shore, Emperor Wu signaled to Tex to slow down, otherwise Mary I would be knocked to pieces by the shore of the lake.
The Raptor stopped and turned off, and the speedboat rushed to the shore by inertia, stopping five meters from the shore.
"What do you think of red, bright vermilion. Emperor Wu pointed to the hull of the ship and asked Tex.
Tex stuck his chin in his hands and nodded in reply, "Nice color, worthy of its Bloody Mary's name, and like a flamingo perched on the surface of a lake." ”
"Dude, flamingo, that's a good name, and in the future its nickname will be flamingo. Emperor Wu patted Tex's solid shoulder.
Tex frowned and muttered, "Xiao Ming, 7K, Hector, Roger 2, hey, bastard, Oscar." ”
