Chapter 7: Copper Locks

After breakfast, as agreed last night, Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao went to Moon Bay again.

The October sun is relatively mild, there is no wind, and the calm waves fade into the sea step by step under the gravitational pull of the earth and the moon, and the beach of Moon Bay becomes wider.

Around the green belt on the edge of the beach, there are a row of small kiosks selling various shells, corals and other crafts, and one of them sells concentric locks.

Nan Zhiqiao paid for a pair of copper concentric locks, and wrote the names of two people on the concentric locks with his own hands, chose a place on the railing of the Moon Bay plank road, and hung the concentric locks on it.

After making a vow, the two of them pulled out the key of the concentric lock and threw it into the sea.

According to the custom, the ceremony of hanging the concentric lock and making a wish was completed, and Nan Zhiqiao asked curiously: "Zhen Zhen, what wish did you make just now?"

Ye Zhenzhen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Senior Nan, what about you, what did you wish?"

"I asked you first, and you answered first. Nan Zhiqiao asked seriously.

Under Nan Zhiqiao's scorching gaze, Zhen Zhen hesitated embarrassedly for a few seconds, and finally, took Nan Zhiqiao's left hand with her right hand and whispered: "My wish is to hold the hand of my son and grow old with my son." ”

Nan Zhiqiao's gaze turned from gentle to hot, and he lowered his head and kissed Zhen Zhen lightly on the forehead, and said softly, "Your wish will come true." ”

Zhen Zhen's face turned red, and she tilted her head slightly and asked, "Senior Nan, what about your wishes?"

Nan Zhiqiao smiled slyly, "Secret!"

After speaking, he ran forward along the seaside plank road in Moon Bay, and at this time, Zhen Zhen realized that Senior Nan, who had always been serious, actually cheated!

Ran a long way after Nan Zhiqiao, until he reached the end of the Moon Bay trestle, Nan Zhiqiao deliberately slowed down, and Ye Zhenzhen followed.

Ye Zhenzhen asked the question just now, Nan Zhiqiao just didn't answer, and was asked in a hurry, Nan Zhiqiao said, "After you become my bride, I'll tell you, then, do you still want to know what I have made now?"

"Of course I want to know!"

Nan Zhiqiao smiled slyly again, "Then I'll agree to my marriage proposal as you." ”

"Propose?!Wait......" Even if she was as smart as Zhen Zhen, she still reacted for two seconds before she realized, "Are you proposing?"

"Whether it's or not, you said yes anyway. ”

After Nan Zhiqiao finished speaking, he didn't give Zhen Zhen time and a chance to refute, and then asked, "Where is that 'Seagull Paradise' island, and how are we going to get there?"

Although she still wanted to continue the topic just now, with Nan Zhiqiao's cunning approach now, Zhen Zhen had no choice but to follow Nan Zhiqiao's meaning to open the topic.

Pointing to the black dots of different sizes in the distance on the sea, Ye Zhenzhen said: "Those black dots over there are islands, there are more than 60 large and small, 'Seagull Paradise' is a small island relatively close to the coast, it takes more than 20 minutes to drive a boat, and there is a small pier in the fishing village in front of you, from where you can take a boat." ”

Nan Zhiqiao looked at the sea, and the dense islands in the distance, some large and some small, some were bare black and yellow, and some were covered with green vegetation, like green pompoms floating on the sea.

"It's beautiful from afar, and I hope to see them all. Nan Zhiqiao sighed.

"This wish can come true. Ye Zhenzhen responded seriously.

The two held hands and walked together along the seaside beach to the small pier of the fishing village in front.

——

The small pier is located in a deep bay next to the fishing village, which is a long plank road built with stones and wooden stakes that stretches into the sea, because of the low tide, most of the sea plank road is exposed on the water, only a small section is immersed in the seawater, and the two ends of the plank road are tied with black tires to cushion the force of the ship's impact.

There were just two small boats parked on the small pier, and some people were sitting on chairs on the shore, and next to the chairs stood a sign with the price of the ferry, ranging from twenty to more than a hundred, depending on the distance of the island.

Because the nearby islands are more famous, there will be tourists who ask to go to the sea to the islands for sightseeing, but because many of the islands here have not been officially developed, the tourists who go to the islands are some individual tourists, and there is no fixed time to visit, some people in the nearby fishing villages have thought of a way to make money, and set up a simple small pier here, and use small boats to pick up tourists back and forth.

However, there has been recent news that the small island near this area has been leased by a large group for a long time, and is ready to develop tourism projects, although there are such rumors, but there is no sign of construction for a long time, and no one cares about the people around the island to visit, let alone the small boats that travel between the islands.

Ye Zhenzhen took the initiative to greet the middle-aged man sitting in the chair, "Boat boss, can you take us to the small island of 'Seagull Paradise'?"

The middle-aged man was sitting on a chair and dozing off, but when he heard that business came to his door, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and stood up.

In front of him was a handsome girl in her twenties, and a handsome tall man, a swarthy middle-aged man pointed to the sign next to him with the price written on it, and said, "Go to 'Seagull Paradise', eighty yuan back and forth, if you stay on the island for more than half an hour, you will have to add additional money." ”

"Why do you have to add money for more than half an hour?" Ye Zhenzhen asked puzzled.

The middle-aged man explained: "I am the only one who goes to the 'Seagull Paradise' boats nearby, and after I send you to the island, I have to wait to send you back, and it takes more than an hour to come back and forth, if you stay on the island for too long, it will affect my next business." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the woman in front of him with a hesitant look, and hurriedly explained: "That island is very small, full of seabirds, take a turn to see the scenery, take some photos, it will take half an hour at most." ”

Ye Zhenzhen had been to the "Seagull Paradise" island twice before, and knowing the situation on the island, she was hesitant just now, just because she was thinking about whether to take Nan Zhiqiao to visit other nearby islands.

Without waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to decide, Nan Zhiqiao suddenly asked, "Boss, how much do you earn a day?"

The middle-aged man looked at Nan Zhiqiao in surprise, and only replied after a while: "Usually five or six hundred, and in good times there can be seven or eight hundred." ”

"I'll give you a thousand, charter a boat for a day, and you take us to visit various nearby islands. ”

Nan Zhiqiao wanted to charter a boat, and the price given was not low, and the owner of the boat happily agreed, "Okay, I am very familiar with the nearby islands, and I will drive the boat for you to ensure safety, and I can also be a tour guide for the two of you." ”

After negotiating the price, the three of them boarded the boat from the dock.

The boat is a motor boat converted from an ordinary fishing boat, with two rows of seats that can seat four to six people, but now there are only three people on board, and it looks very spacious.

The boat owner starts the motor, and the speed of the boat is neither fast nor slow, which is a speed suitable for watching the scenery.

The nearest island is also 20 minutes away from the coast, on the way to the boat, the boat owner introduced to the two people: "There are more than 230 islands near the coastline of our Y city, only 15 are inhabited, and the group of islands we are going to include 63 small islands, the large islands have two or three square kilometers, and the small islands are only a few dozen square meters, these islands are uninhabited, and there are three small islands that are bird nature reserves, among which 'Seagull Paradise' is the most famous one." ”
