Time passed slowly in my fingers, and before I knew it, it was already the golden autumn of October, the west wind was blowing, and the weather was gradually getting cooler.

Riding a large boat with more than a dozen people living in Wen Xian, he went down the Pearl River and slowly sailed into the South China Sea.

"Xianggong, the coast is getting farther and farther away." Xiao Xuan turned her head and watched the houses on the shore gradually fade into obscurity.

Du Manwan pointed to the seabirds flying in the sky and asked, "Are these seagulls?" ”

"Hmm."

During this time, Li Yaoyu's family and Xu Qiuping gradually became good friends because of their like-minded interests and outstanding poetry, especially Du Manwan and Xiao Qin, who had the best relationship with her. Therefore, when going to sea this time, Xu Qiuping was also on board.

"It's the first time I've taken a boat to the sea."

"Miss Qiuping has been living in Guangzhou and has never been to sea?" It was Xie Yunfei who asked. During this time, he also knew that Xu Qiuping came to Wen to live from time to time, and he often went to Wen to live in Xian, firstly, to learn from Li Yaoji, and secondly, to get close to Xu Qiuping. This time, after knowing that Xu Qiuping also followed Li Yaoyu's family to the sea, she wanted to follow with a dead face, and even hugged Li Yaoyu's thighs, with a handful of snot and tears.

Xu Qiuping shook her head, "I have always lived in the boudoir and have never been far away. ”

After these ten days, Xu Qiuping's attitude towards Xie Yunfei has improved a lot, because he really works hard to study, often writes poems and sends them to Xu Qiuping, and has also broken off contact with Li Zhen and Dong Jiuzhuo.

The autumn wind was not small, the waves were quite strong, the boat shook slightly, and except for the two maidservants, no one else reacted to seasickness. With the endless sea level and the fading horizon, everyone feels like they have entered a world with no end in sight, only the scattered birds.

"Why is the sea breeze a little salty?"

"Have you ever eaten salt?"

"Oh......" Xie Yunfei understood, "it turns out that the salt is blowing from the sea breeze." ”

Everyone: "......"

"Hahahaha......" After everyone was stunned, they laughed wildly.

Li Yaowei laughed and tears came out, kicked him unceremoniously, and scolded: "What about your brain? ”

Xie Yunfei was very aggrieved, "Didn't you ask me about the salt?" ”

After Xu Qiuping stopped smiling, she explained to him: "Salt comes out of the seawater, and the sea breeze will have a salty taste with water vapor." ”

"Oh......" Xie Yunfei lowered his head in shame.

In order to control the course, the boatman has been using a compass to drive due east. Xiao Xuan was playing with another compass, Xiao Qin, Su Yue, Xu Qiuping, Xie Yunfei, and Qian Ersheng, although they couldn't understand the high-end knowledge about magnetic fields and same-sex attraction, it didn't prevent them from being amazed by the magic of the compass and the richness of Li Yaoyu's knowledge.

"There are so many incredible things in this world, I used to live in the boudoir, thinking that I could know the things of the world by reading the scriptures, but I was just sitting in the well and watching the sky, I was ignorant." Xu Qiuping sighed from the heart.

"When I heard what the prime minister said, I was also so grateful." Du Manwan agreed, "Later, the more I listened, the more I felt that the world was so big, it was incredible. ”

Xiao Xuan said with a bitter face: "But I think you are very powerful, at least you can understand it, I don't understand it at all." ”

"I don't understand either." Xiao Qin smiled bitterly and shook her head.

These women were chatting, and Li Yaowei was searching the sea with Qian Ersheng and Xie Yunfei with a special big fish dart made to find someone, and he also wanted to experience the feeling of catching sea fish with a fish dart, but the sea was too vast, and the boat would scare away the swimming fish, so it was not easy to find sea fish.

"Jungong, can you really fork a fish?"

"I don't know, let's try." He didn't have any experience with it, and he didn't know how fishermen fished, but he didn't want to be able to fork fish, more to have fun.

"Look, it's dark there, it's fish!"

Li Yaowei and Xie Yunfei were attracted by Qian Ersheng's shout, and sure enough, it was a fish swimming on the surface of the water, "Quick, stab it!" ”

Qian Ersheng and Xie Yunfei didn't say a word, they raised the dart and threw it, Xie Yunfei had little strength, and he couldn't throw half of the distance at all, hmm...... Li Yaojian couldn't throw it either. Qian Ersheng practiced martial arts, and he had great strength, but he didn't stab, and the fish knew that he was attacked, so he accelerated his swimming. The three of them pulled back the darts that were thrown out, and the fifth Yao took it from Li Yaoji's hand, aimed at the fish under the water, and threw it suddenly, the dart was like an arrow shot by a full moon eagle bow, between the lightning and flint, and it sank into the water.

"Hit!" Li Yaojie and Fifth Yao pulled hard together, and the fish that was stabbed kept swinging their tails, and the water splashed on the sea, "it!" It's still struggling. ”

However, the strength of the fish was definitely not comparable to that of Li Yaojie and Fifth Yao, and the barb on the dart made it impossible for the fish to break free, and it was quickly pulled to the deck of the ship.

"Profitable, swordfish!" Li Yaojian saw the long mouth of this fish and recognized it as a swordfish, "I didn't expect to catch a swordfish in the South China Sea." ”

The women who were chatting were also attracted to it, and when they saw the swordfish, they chattered and discussed, "This fish is so big." What kind of fish is this? Why does it look so strange? ”

Li Yaowei was very happy and asked Qian Ersheng and a few servants to help take the swordfish off the dart: "This is a swordfish, because its mouth is like a long sword, and it can also use the arrow words of a bow and arrow." I didn't expect to be able to fork this kind of fish, the lady is so amazing! ”

Fifth Yao washed his hands and asked, "This swordfish not only looks strange, but it is also six or seven feet long, are all the fish in the sea so big?" ”

The others had never seen a fish about the size of a person, and they were all very surprised, looking at Li Yaoyu in puzzlement, expecting his answer.

"It's not big, except for its mouth, it's only about four feet." Li Yaojian visually inspected that this swordfish was about 1.8 meters, which was considered medium among swordfish. "This fish is very large compared to the fish in the river and lake, but in the sea, it is small, and the largest "fish" in the sea is called the blue whale, which is more than 100 feet long and weighs ...... Two or three hundred thousand catties. ”

Li Yaojian didn't want to explain the classification of mammals and fish, so he simply counted whales as fish. He also didn't know how many grams a pound in the Tang Dynasty was in modern times, so he could only vaguely convert it.

"More than a hundred feet?" Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at each other, "This ...... Bigger than our ship? ”

"That's right." Li Yaowei knew that it was hard for them to believe, but there were also whales and sharks on this side of the South China Sea, so I don't know if they would encounter them.

"Is this a monster?" A fish bigger than a boat, they couldn't even think of it.

"If you catch it, you can eat it for a year." Xie Yunfei smiled.

Everyone was in the black line, and Li Yaowei saw a local Cantonese who thought of eating everything.

The servant broke down the swordfish, soaked it in water, and ate it first for tonight's meal.

Xiao Xuan held the long jaw of the cut swordfish, "I really like this fish's mouth, it's long, but it's not tired with such a long mouth?" ”

"I shouldn't be tired." Li Yaoyu smiled and shook his head, "Don't underestimate its mouth, if this fish hits our boat hard, the bottom of this boat may be pierced." ”

"Huh? So scary? Then let's go back quickly, and it would be bad if its companions came to take revenge. ”
