Chapter 30 No oars are used for rowing

The last day of February, early in the morning!

It took the two seven days to trek all the way to finally stand at the North Bay Ferry.

At this moment, the sky is bright, there is no snow and no fog, it can be regarded as a very rare sunny day for Lu Yifan to come to the Northern Plains Snow Country, which makes him feel good, it seems that he will soon be able to see no heavy snow when he goes south.

Although the vast snowy area is not too bothering him, he prefers a cooler and mild climate, and if nothing else, the land is more fertile in warm places, so that more species can grow.

The diversity of species brings not only the enjoyment of beauty and the pleasure of diversity, but also Lu Yifan's thirsty appetite, which he has eaten for nearly a month.

Looking into the distance, the eyes can see far away, and the scenery on the opposite bank will naturally not fall, whether it is the mountains and forests on both sides of the large river upstream of the estuary, or the sandy beaches and scattered buildings on the opposite bank downstream, you can see a rough idea.

Boats are needed to cross the sea, but that's just for ordinary people, usually high-ranking people either fly over or ride on waves, and it's not too easy to get to the sea.

But Lu Yifan and the others can neither fly nor float on water, even Changxi is the same, although he has entered the Tao, he can't float on water, he didn't before, and he won't now, if there is a master of kung fu, he can basically fly.

Dozens of miles of wide sea, even if you can float on the water, it is difficult to wade through!

But it's not all without a chance, there is a delta in the middle of the estuary, the delta is not very far from the continent of the snow field, and the two of them can jump over it with the help of the ice floe on the water surface, just like the two of the Heaven Interception Sect, although the ice floe is less now than before, but this is not difficult for them.

The upstream basin of the Beiwan Ferry is a big river, the name is Liujiang, it is a very deep river, the rock wall on both sides of the river is more than 100 meters exposed, there is a triangle of more than 20,000 square meters in the estuary, generally called Liujiangzhou.

Of course, this is the name of the people of the Central Plains, and the names of the various tribes in the Northland Grassland are not completely uniform, at least what Changxi knows.

"How long will it take for us to go to Yongjing City from here?" Lu Yifan asked, he only knew that Changxi came from a place called Yongjing, and he had no idea how far it was.

Changxi said: "When I came, I walked along the coast, and it took me six months, and if I go back, we can go directly through the hinterland of the grassland, which should only take two or three months!"

"Still going over the meadow?"

Lu Yifan looked at the vast sea, he thought that he only needed to cross Haikou to reach his destination quickly, who knew that it would be so far, he had never suffered this kind of crime when he was so old.

"Let's go, I'm ahead, you follow!" Changxi said, and when a piece of ice floe approached, he saw Changxi jump lightly and land on the ice floe, and in a few more jumps he had already landed a small piece of land.

Liujiangzhou is composed of a land area of more than 20,000 square meters and some attached land, when Lu Yifan set foot on Liujiangzhou, you can still see some traces of human activities on it.

"Hehe, goodbye!"

Standing on Liujiangzhou, Lu Yifan waved his hand silently towards the snow field.

He didn't go to see Li Qing's family later, nor did he try to find out what the town in the snowy region was like, and even what the name of the place in the snowy field was, he didn't know very well.

Anyway, he has already left, and he can only say goodbye in his heart, Lu Yifan actually doesn't know where he should go, and now he has almost no goals.

He didn't even have the ideal of having to do something, and he didn't have much determination to become stronger, and he didn't know where he came from in life, waiting for his way back.

Since Changxi has a place to go, then Lu Yifan will follow Changxi, if he has nowhere to go, Lu Yifan feels that he is very likely to find a place to practice silently.

However, when Changxi decided to go back to his hometown, Lu Yifan felt that Yongjing City might be a good place, at least it was a more ideal place to go because of the right climate, food and fun.

The two stood on the edge of Liujiangzhou, looking in the direction of Changxi's hometown, the opposite bank was a sandy beach, of course, it was not golden, only when the waves fell, they could see a little dark shore bed on the edge.

At their feet, a small boat could be seen, which had been towed to the shore and covered with snow, and it would have been almost impossible to detect a boat hiding here if they had not happened to meet.

The small boat is more than five meters long, with a pure wooden structure, the bow is small and light, there is a small shed at the tail, and there is a not very high mast in the middle, Lu Yifan has no idea what such a small ship needs to do with this.

The snow on the boat was quickly cleared, and Lu Yifan even found some daily necessities, clothes and food on the boat, but the two of them didn't need it too much, so they kicked it directly, and then dragged the boat into the water, confirmed that the boat would not fall apart, and rowed the boat towards the opposite shore.

"I don't know how to row! Don't tell me you can't!" Seeing the boat drifting towards the sea, Lu Yifan looked at Changxi with wide eyes, and he found that Changxi, like him, was completely unfamiliar with how to row.

"I live inland...... Was it a small canvas that you kicked off the boat just now?" Changxi held a long oar, and whenever he played with it, the boat drifted faster towards the deep sea, and even had the illusion that it was about to capsize.

"Is there one?"

Lu Yifan is also holding an oar, one left and one right, and Changxi are trying to control the direction of the boat, one to prevent it from flowing into the deep sea, and the most important thing is to prevent the boat from hitting the ice reef.

In such a reef-filled water, this wooden boat has little chance of surviving if it encounters them.

When Lu Yifan still wanted to quibble, he saw a piece of ice reef more than one meter flowing towards the boat at a very fast speed, and hurriedly shouted: "This way...... There's an ice reef to crash into, hurry up~"

“......”

Chang Xi turned his head silently, he didn't have much interest in arguing with Lu Yifan, he took out the sword behind his back, and with a slight sweep, a cyan sword qi cut the ice reef in half, slid towards both sides of the boat, and didn't forget to say in his mouth:

"Let's take a look at the side, break up all the ice reefs, and let the boat slide a little farther first!"

The current at the mouth of the sea is too fast, even if both of them are strong, but it does not mean that they are master rowers, and if the boat is allowed to leave the mouth, it may be easier to control it.

"You can't do this method, why don't we swim over directly, I'm pretty good at the water!" Lu Yifan said, rowing was too difficult for him, if the wind and waves were calm, he might be able to barely control the direction, but at the mouth of the storm, he didn't even dare to use the oars indiscriminately.

Changxi threw the oar, held the long sword in one hand, his eyes looked left and right, whenever an ice reef approached, he drew his long sword and smashed the ice reef, and at the same time calmly shouted at Lu Yifan: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

"I'm ......"

Lu Yifan finally knew why it took half a year for Changxi to find the snowy region, and it was a miracle that he could survive until now with his state of not knowing anything.

The roe deer meat he roasted was dry and hard, his slippery boat didn't need oars, he couldn't sleep in a bed, he didn't need anything, he just wandered all the way, and he didn't even see a map.

After a long 'battle', the boat that the two of them protected all the way finally successfully sailed out of the sea and floated on the boundless sea.

The distant land became even farther away, so far away that Lu Yifan could only barely see the outline of the coast, if it weren't for his outstanding eyesight.

The waves are never going to be calm, but it's definitely better than an outlet to the sea, at least without worrying about the reefs and rapids tipping the boat.

Changxi looked at the coast with the same melancholy, perhaps remembering the embarrassment of capsizing the boat when he crossed the sea last time, and only heard him say: "Look, isn't it much easier for us to dock now?"
