Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Two days later, in the morning, at the Longwan Village Seafood Wharf near the port area of Lingjiang, an old wooden sampan set off offshore and headed southeast.
Longwan Village is an ancient fishing village, very close to the city of Lingjiang, the geographical position is superior, the seafood wharf at the edge of the village is even more prestigious, every day all kinds of fishing boats of all sizes go out to sea and return, attracting all kinds of aquatic product dealers and restaurant buyers from all walks of life in the city, from morning to night.
In such a lively background, a small sampan that is too ordinary to go to sea will naturally not attract anyone's attention.
Jiang Yichen, who was wearing a gray jacket and a sunhat, was sitting at the stern of the boat at this time, paddling his sculls with both hands.
His movements were a bit stiff, the force of the two oars was not quite consistent, and the bow of the boat was biased.
Inevitably, he hadn't touched this thing for a long time, but he had played on the lake in the park before.
The weather today is fine and sunny since the morning. According to the weather forecast, there are only three or four southerly winds on the offshore surface, and this will be the case for the next few days.
Just now he found a fisherman at the wharf of Longwan Village and rented this old sampan that had been out of business for a long time, and the sampan was very small, only about six meters long.
Even so, the rent was not cheap, two hundred yuan a day, and a deposit of 1,800 yuan was collected.
Due to the depletion of offshore fishery resources, today's fishing boats are large ones that can run long distances, and these small boats have lost their original role.
However, according to the owner, there are still many anglers from the city who rent small sampans to go out to sea for fishing, and most of these people have a good mentality, and it doesn't matter how much they catch, the main thing is to have fun.
The ship also contained the six pepper saplings and six large material saplings, whose roots were covered with soil and wrapped in plastic sheeting. Miao sprinkled some water on her body and covered it with an old cloth to protect her from the sun.
As for the rest of the belongings, most of them were left in the icy space, so the ship seemed empty. If it weren't for the fact that the saplings were afraid of freezing, they would have been put in with them.
Jiang Yichen paddled for a while, and began to slowly find his senses. The arms were coordinated, and the speed of the boat gradually increased.
Sensing the depths of the water, he paused for a moment, turned around and lowered the rudder blade down a little bit, and continued paddling.
His brawn strength is no longer what it used to be, and once he masters the correct posture, his speed should not be underestimated.
I saw the bow of the ship raised, and the white waves on both sides were stirred up. The whole ship went straight ahead, and if the speed was measured, it was estimated that it could reach a maximum of more than five knots.
After about forty minutes, Jiang Yichen slowed down, and at this time he was far away from the shore, surrounded by a blue water surface, shimmering in the sunlight. It looks much more comfortable than the yellowish waters near the pier in Longwan Village.
The waves are not big, they are pushed layer by layer, and the bow of the boat gently rises and falls, like a cradle.
It seemed that only he and this small boat were left in the sky and sea, and his heart was as vast as this boundless sea.
He picked up the water bottle, took a few sips, then took the compass from his pocket and corrected the direction.
That's right, that's the place.
After a short rest, he paddled the sampan again.
After more than twenty minutes, he felt that his palm began to hurt, and when he stopped the oar, a soybean-sized blister appeared on his right palm.
Hey, I'm still a scholar after all. Jiang Yichen couldn't help but sigh.
Due to the fusion of the cold space, his current body and endurance have become unprecedentedly strong.
But the skin on the hands and feet can't keep up in time, such as growing thick calluses or something, so after such a long period of strenuous exercise, blisters are inevitable.
Although I also did a lot of farm work in the vegetable field of the school nursery during this time, it was only a few dozen square meters of land after all, and the soil was soft, and the labor intensity was limited after all.
Fortunately, he had all the items he carried, so he took out a sewing needle from the backpack in the space, picked up the blisters in his palm, squeezed them dry, and glued a band-aid to them.
This slows down a little bit of the paddle, and it can still be tolerated.
It was close to noon, and it had been two and a half hours since the departure. In Jiang Yichen's line of sight, a small black dot finally appeared.
He took out his glasses and looked into the distance, and as expected, it was indeed the destination of this trip.
Yunsha Island, I'm here. He suddenly became excited, and seemed to forget all at once the fatigue of his body and the pain in his palms.
Leqiu, where is it now? Will they still play near the islands?
He put away his binoculars, refilled the water again, and continued to paddle forward.
The black dot in front of it is getting bigger and bigger, and behind the big black dot, two small black dots also faintly appear.
Jiang Yichen knew that they were the other two small islands in the southeast of Yunsha Island, which were distributed in a triangle with Yunsha Island. He looked it up on the Internet, one called Weigh Ton Island and the other called Jigong Island, the latter having a large rock that looked like a rooster to get its name from.
Both islands are much smaller in size than Yunsha Island, ranging from a few dozen acres to a hundred acres.
The route was undoubtedly confirmed, Jiang Yichen increased the strength of his hand, and the small sampan accelerated forward.
Yunsha Island is getting bigger and bigger, the familiar half-moon-shaped steep cliff is the first to come into view, it is still so majestic and magnificent, even if the wind is not strong at the moment, the reef under the cliff is also whirlpools, torrential waves. Countless seagulls flutter among them, making loud and high-pitched chirps.
He reoriented again, and steered the boat to the west of the island, where there were gravel and mudflats, where he had last landed.
At that moment, a gray object appeared on the surface of the water in front of him, not small, and it looked like a large fish, floating towards the right side of the boat.
Jiang Yichen's heart tightened, God, don't be ......
He couldn't help but close his eyes, and opened them again a few seconds later.
The object drifted closer, and finally saw it clearly, it turned out to be a young gray dolphin that had been dead for a long time, the belly of the white sรจ was turned up, and the body had begun to change, with a total length of about one meter five or six.
Fortunately, it's not a Leqiu, which is much bigger than it. Jiang Yichen breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this.
A closer look soon revealed the cause of the gray dolphin's death. He couldn't help but be angry.
I saw that the dolphin was scarred, and there was a lot of water mold near the wound, and the most shocking thing was that there were more than ten or twenty iron hooks hanging on the waist and tail fin.
He knew this thing, it was the famous rolling hook, and many fishermen along the coast liked to use it to catch fish.
The roller hook usually consists of a sturdy main line and hundreds of hooks, and once it is cast in the water, once the big fish is hooked, it will become more and more sticky and unable to get rid of it.
For large aquatic animals, the roller hook is a very cruel homemade tool.
According to the relevant laws and regulations, electric fish, fried fish, dense net gear, rolling hooks, etc. are prohibited fishing gear. However, due to various reasons such as poor supervision, such fishing gear is still very common in the hands of coastal and riverside fishermen.
