One hundred and seventy, tailgating

Xiao Bao'er was afraid of water, so she hugged the side of the boat tightly and didn't let go, and let the fine ice floes hit her with her face. www.biquge.info Yao Xitong pulled her back to the cabin to hide, and she refused to move a single bit. What about martial arts, in the face of the power of nature, manpower is so small.

Yao Xitong was helpless, guessing that it was the Xiangjiang shipwreck that made her afraid of water, so she had to protect her and let the ice floes throw on her.

At some point, the black cat ran back to the deck and jumped between the two of them to ask for a hug as usual. Yao Xitong really couldn't spare his hand, so he let the black cat that jumped up fall again. The cat was also fun, jumped up again and lay directly on his face, and unceremoniously scratched a few blood marks on his face on his paws......

It was easy to hold out until dawn, and the fire was gone, only to see the sea constantly rolling out thick smoke and rushing into the sky. A gust of wind blew, and the drift ice on the sea instantly turned gray, and the waves that sprinkled on Xiao Baoer's cheeks were also mixed with a lot of smoke and dust, making her instantly a flower-faced cat.

The smoke rolled for a whole day, and when the wind and waves calmed down a little, Xiao Baoer finally let go of the ship's side. She looked at Yao Xitong with disdain, and scolded: "I'm holding the side of the boat well, why are you holding me? I'm afraid that I won't find a place by myself, making us all so embarrassed......

After saying that, she hugged the black cat's head and left without looking back.

The crew members who came to clean up the deck shook their heads when they saw Yao Xitong, really embarrassing the Central Plains man. But the waves are a little bigger, is it necessary to hold the woman and not let go? If it really encounters a storm, it must not be scared to death!

Yao Xitong was full of grievances, but he was too lazy to care. finally understood that Xiao Baoer was a strong outsider, and Xiangjiang's distress made her afraid of water and like this.

After tossing for two nights and one day, Xiao Baoer only felt exhausted. Just after changing her clothes and planning to rest, Qin Mao asked someone to call her to go on deck.

Another morning, the black smoke in the distance finally stopped. Through the hazy sky, it was vaguely visible that the ice floes that were blocking the ship's progress had long since disappeared, and the sea ahead was immersed in a vast white fog, and the visibility was zero.

Xiao Bao'er asked curiously, "Is that the morning fog ahead?"

Qin Mao shook his head, "No." ”

"What's that?"

"Look down at the sea. ”

Xiao Baoer took a closer look at the sea, and the white spots that she thought were finely broken ice floe were not ice floe, but dead fish. "Oh my God, how can there be so many dead fish?"

Qin Mao looked ahead and said seriously: "The warm current we are looking for should not have appeared in this sea area in the first place, maybe because of the ground movement, the warm current changed its position. The white mist in front of us was the mist raised by the meeting of the warm current and the drift ice, and the fish were scalded to death by the warm current. ”

"Wow...... It's a big pot of fish soup, I'll catch a few later, and see if I can eat it. ”

Zhu Zhigao had been standing beside Qin Mao, and when he heard this, his serious face couldn't help but smile, and he asked instead of Qin Mao: "Xiaoxiao, there are two choices at this time. Follow this warm current and see what lies ahead in the sea...... This is not in line with the plan, and the fresh water on board may need to be conserved and rationed. Or sail as planned, and it's up to luck to find a warm current. ”

Xiao Bao'er's eyes kept on the dead fish, and only heard her say, "You know what the consequences of consulting me will be, if you are not afraid of death, follow this warm current, and you can solve today's meal." ”

Zhu Zhigao and Qin Mao glanced at each other, and they could see the excitement and pride of challenging the unknown in each other's eyes.

Whether it is drift ice or a fire rising on the sea, if such a magnificent and magical landscape is missed because they are afraid of death, they are afraid that the rest of their lives will be immersed in regret and regret.

Qin Mao ordered the ship to turn around and follow the warm current.

Xiao Bao'er didn't care about sleeping, and hurriedly called out Wu Jun and Jianqi idlers to fish together. The master finally came in handy, and catching fish was like playing, and it didn't take long for a few piles to be piled up on the deck.

All the fish caught were deep-sea fish, and the heavy smell of sulfur made several people a little dizzy.

"The book once said that there are volcanoes under the sea, and the landscape at the time of their eruption is almost the same as that on the ground. At that time, I thought it was a lie, water and fire are never compatible, how can a volcano under the sea erupt out of the deep sea...... It seems that I am still too lonely and unheard, and what I have seen and heard along the way is really worth my life. ”

Yao Xitong hid in the room and turned his face upside down, seeing that everyone was busy all morning, he was wrapped in gauze and came late. After listening to Jairus's words, he said: "There are not only volcanoes at the bottom of the sea, but every time a volcano erupts, it can also create an island. ”

"It has been written that during an undersea volcanic eruption, fishermen noticed that a small island suddenly grew in the nearby sea. I thought that the small island that grew would be washed away by the crashing waves, after all, the island was full of volcanic ash and porous foam stones. As a result, the volcano kept erupting, and the island grew bigger and bigger, and when the eruption stopped, the island became a large island and remained on the surface of the sea. ”

Yao Xitong is very talented, he really knows astronomy, geography, and people. Ming Yin and Yang, understand gossip, Xiaoqimen, and know Dunjia. He can quote scriptures and tell everyone that such miracles as submarine volcanic eruptions are only natural phenomena and not obvious gods......

Erer walked up to the deck with the pot in his hand, not caring at all what was happening on the sea, his pleasure was to cook and process all kinds of ingredients into deliciousness.

Xiao Bao'er was happy to see him and asked, "Can you eat these fish?"

Erer smelled the cooked fish on the deck with disgust, if it weren't for the need to save supplies by changing the route, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of this "picked up" ingredient. "I didn't scrape the scales, I didn't remove the internal organs, and I was already so thoroughly cooked. After sighing, he spat out three words, "Dip the fish." ”

Yao Xitong immediately explained, "Dipping fish, as the name suggests, the essence of its flavor lies in a small bowl of dipping water. The fish is too ripe to be processed, so it can only be seasoned by dipping water, and the freshness and aroma of the fish are shown through different dipping waters. ”

For lunch, Erer divided the fish into two portions, and the crew only used one part of the water, salt, chili, pepper, and minced ginger, and stirred it into a pot of dipping water. Just dip the fish in the water and you're ready to eat. The chili peppers used for dipping in the water are stir-fried, and the fragrant and choking taste is mouth-watering.

Xiao Bao'er doesn't eat spicy food, but seeing that everyone eats so happily, she swallows her saliva and waits for her share in the room with anticipation.

Er'er quickly let the food in, and the fish they ate was reprocessed, not only did there be soup, but there were some green onions and vegetable leaves floating on the soup noodles, and it didn't smell so fishy. There are also two dipping portions of water on the plate, Yao Xitong's is spicy, and it smells the same as what the crew eats. She's not spicy, and her muddy color doesn't have an appetite when she looks at it.

"What kind of dipping water is this, can you eat it?"

Yao Xitong said: "This is called sesame sauce, which is fried and ground with high-quality white sesame seeds, and then specially prepared with some seasonings. It tastes smooth and mellow, don't you believe you try it?"

As he spoke, he scooped up a little soup and added sesame sauce, stirred well before adding the fish, and motioned for Xiao Bao'er to taste it.

Xiao Baoer doesn't like to eat fish, and if it weren't for the shortage of water reserves due to the change of route, she wouldn't have eaten this strange-shaped sea fish. Under Yao Xitong's earnest gaze, she ate a small piece of fish, and was surprised to find that the fragrance of sesame sauce overshadowed the fishy smell of the fish, and the taste was very good.

"Delicious, the fish is delicate and especially fragrant with sesame sauce. Why isn't there a fishy fish and that weird smell in the sea?"

"Onions, ginger, pepper, peppercorns and other seasonings can get rid of the fishy smell, Erer is afraid that you will not be used to eating it, so he specially put heavy ingredients in the soup. ”

"Erer really knows me. Who do you say the big shopkeeper of the bun shop is, and why did he give me such a Jianghu organization?

Yao Xitong couldn't say what was bitter, so he could only put the chopsticks and fish meat into Xiao Baoer's bowl, and said, "Eat quickly, it's cold and the fishy smell is very heavy." ”

Xiao Bao'er asked again: "Dead turtle, could it be that you are the big shopkeeper of the bun shop, and you forgot about it because of amnesia?" No, Er'er won't recognize you, unless you don't have amnesia?"

Yao Xitong knew that Xiao Baoer was smart and knew that it was very boring to pretend like this, but he was lucky and always thought that Xiao Baoer had no evidence to prove that he did not have amnesia.

At first, he pretended to have amnesia because he couldn't face Xiao Bao'er, and he didn't know how to explain the matter of the King of Northern Liao, and he didn't want everyone to know that his embarrassed appearance was all killed by his biological mother.

After pretending to be a long time, he became more and more cowardly, wishing that Xiao Baoer would fool around with him like this. Tongxin Gu has not been solved for a day, he does not dare to confess his heart, but he is reluctant to leave, and things can only become more and more complicated......

"Xiaoxiao, whether I have amnesia or not, whether I am the shopkeeper of the bun shop or not, I will not harm you, unless I can't help myself. If there is a day, you will kill me. ”

Xiao Bao'er blinked, tasted a piece of fish in Yao Xitong's bowl, and exclaimed, "It's so spicy, it's so spicy!

"Keeping the cold away, getting wet, the crew eats so spicy. Did you hear me?"

"I heard, I won't kill you, who will cook for me if I kill you?"

"But I'll hurt you. ”

"Really, then you'll kill yourself!"

Yao Xitong thought about it carefully, and Xiao Bao'er's words made some sense. He was reluctant to die, and he was reluctant to hurt Xiao Bao'er, but if that day really came, when it was confirmed that Xiao Bao'er would not do it, suicide would be a good way.

In the afternoon, the wind blows on the sea, and most of the white heat is blown away by the wind, and the sea with zero visibility gradually becomes clear.

Xiao Baoer stood on the side of the boat with the cat in her arms to watch the scenery, and suddenly found that there was an island in front of her. She shouted out to Qin Mao, who was not as eyesighted as her, and it took a while to see the island in front of her.

With years of sailing experience, Qin Mao said: "I don't look like an island, but a little like a fish." ”

Xiao Bao'er exclaimed, "Fish! There are so many fish in the sea, they are about to catch up with this boat!"

"Xiaoxiao, the sea is endless, and its area is no smaller than that of the inland. We have limited ability to operate in some parts of the sea, and there are so many places that we have never set foot in, and it is not uncommon to see a fish bigger than a boat, and this fish is not big at all compared to the sea. ”

Xiao Bao'er has a special relationship with Qin Mao, no matter how heroic the latter is in front of people, she will always be a humble slave there. Suddenly, when she heard the slave talk about the truth, she was a little unaccustomed to it, so she said, "I called the dead turtle to come and see, and he must know what it is." ”

The people who came were not only Yao Xitong, but also Jianwei. The two looked closely at the dark shadow in the distance, agreed that it was a dying whale, and asserted that the fish would live for a day at most.

Qin Mao originally planned to let the boat sail not far from the fish, so that Xiao Bao'er could see what the big fish in the sea looked like. After listening to what the two said, he decided to follow the warm current and not deviate from the course.

Xiao Bao'er stared at the fish for a long time, and asked the black cat in her arms, "Cat, do you say that fish is delicious? Do you want to drag it with a rope, eat while walking, and walk while eating!"

Qin Mao said: "Don't wait for this one to die, the breath of corruption will attract many other big fish, not to mention how wonderful the sea was at that time." ”

Xiao Bao'er nodded and said, "I know, just like the corpses on the grassland will attract vultures and jackals......"

The conversation between the two was listened to word by word by Yao Xitong and Jairus.

Yao Xitong said: "If this dead fish also floats in the direction of the warm current, we can take advantage of it." ”

Jairus agreed, "I think it's a good idea." ”

Qin Mao looked at the weather and ocean currents carefully, and said cautiously, "You can give it a try." In order to prevent it from being carried away by other marine life, we may need to tie it to the back of the boat with a rope. ”

Leave the matter to Wu Jun.

Xiao Bao'er went to the kitchen with the cat in her arms, and Yao Xitong followed behind her like a tail. "Xiaoxiao, aren't you curious why we're dragging a dead fish on our voyage?"

"Curious. ”

"Ask me, ask me, I'll tell you. ”

"Well, I ask you, why are you dragging a dead fish on the voyage?"

"I told you, but I'm going to tell me a story tonight. ”

"Don't!"

Xiao Bao'er walked away with the black cat, not caring at all about Yao Xitong Why they had to drag a dead fish behind the boat.

Su Su was different from Xiao Bao'er, and when the people watching the excitement had dispersed, she asked Jairus, "What do you mean by this, why are you dragging a dead fish to sail?"

"Nothing interesting, just in case. ”

"Prevent what? Are we in danger? Why are you hiding it from me?"

A series of questions came out of Su Su's mouth, she knew that everyone was in the same boat, and they must be doing this for the benefit of the big guy, but she couldn't learn Xiao Bao'er's open-mindedness to put life and death in the hands of others.

Jairus excused the man's business and the woman didn't bother with it, and didn't tell her why she sailed with a dead fish. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, so she hurriedly came to Xiao Bao'er, wanting to know the cause and effect from Yao Xitong.

After Su Su left, Yao Xitong asked Xiao Bao'er, "Why don't you get to the bottom like Su Su?"

"She's insecure and needs a lot of things to counteract that feeling. I don't need to, I trust you, I believe you won't let me have an accident!"

Xiao Bao'er's simple words are as beautiful as sweet words, Yao Xitong enjoys this feeling of being trusted and relied on, and said smugly, "Such a big fish must eat a lot of food every day, once it dies, the undigested food in the body will ferment and then produce gas, and eventually explode." ”

"Who are you going to kill with it?"

"I don't know, whoever follows us will blow up whom. ”

"A boat is following us?"
