The sea area north of Denglai.

Su Baiyi frowned and recalled, it was probably north of the Shandong Peninsula and then south of the Liaodong Peninsula.

If I'm not mistaken, there should be an archipelago between the two peninsulas, and I can't remember what it's called.

"And how far is it from Denglai?" Su Baiyi asked Gu Zhong again.

Gu Zhong said: "If you don't deviate from the route, it should be almost a hundred miles!"

As soon as Zhao Heng heard about Baili, he immediately shouted, "Baili, my God, when will we be able to go ashore, will we freeze to death in this water?" ”

"If you go ashore, you will die too!" Su Baiyi glanced at him, frowned and said: "Intercept us in the sea and set a fire to clean it, if we go to Denglai and land at this moment, wouldn't we be caught in the net?" ”

After thinking for a while, he asked Gu Zhong again: "Boss Gu, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a few desert islands near here, I don't know where they are?" ”

Gu Zhong was very clear, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the rising sun, and then slightly deviated to the south, and said, "No, there it is!" ”

"How far?"

"I don't know, if you're lucky, it may be ten miles, if you're unlucky, it's possible to travel forty or fifty miles!"

"Then let's go to the desert island and settle down first!" Su Baiyi immediately made a decision

"How to get there?" Zhao Heng was about to cry: "Lord Su, forty or fifty miles away, our family is afraid that if we can't swim to the ground, we will freeze to death, or be eaten by sharks in the water." ”

"Yes, Master Su!" Gu Zhong also said: "You have to think of a way, this water is too cold, just frozen, at most an hour, we will all be frozen." ”

"It's okay, there must be a ship at sea, and you can get there if you have a ship!" While cheering everyone up, Su Baiyi began to swim forward with his head.

Zhao Heng really cried this time, and said while crying: "Then if we are unlucky and can't meet the boat, our family would rather go back to the palace and be cut again than feed the fish." ”

"If we're lucky, we'll definitely have a boat!" Su Baiyi raised his head, looked at the sea further north, and suddenly pointed to the empty sea to the north and said, "See, there is a ship there." ”

"There is a boat^" Zhao Heng shouted happily, turned his head and looked in the direction of Su Baiyi's finger for a long time, then withered again, and said, "What about the boat, why didn't I see it?" As he spoke, his eyes turned to Gu Zhong and the rest of the guys next to him.

Gu Zhong also shook his head and said that he didn't see it.

The rest of the guys and He Shan also said they didn't see it.

Zhao Heng's face immediately pulled down, and said to Su Baiyi: "I said Master Su, you are so shocked, it's not fun to coax our family, and our family is not stupid." ”

"I didn't fool you." Su Baiyi pointed into the distance again: "It's right there, haven't you all seen it?" ”

"Is there one?"

The people looked carefully to the north, and for a long time they saw nothing but the sea.

Gu Zhong said: "Did Lord Su see a mirage?" ”

"He was numbed by the sea, and he was hallucinating." Zhao Heng stretched out two fingers in front of Su Baiyi: "Master Su, do you think this is two or three?" ”

Su Baiyi glanced at him: "This is a finger, stupid!" Zhao Heng's face turned blue, and he smiled again: "I have excellent eyesight since I was a child, it should be far away so you can't see it, I'll swim over there to take a look, don't move here." ”

took out the red official robe from the baggage, tore open a piece and handed it to Zhao Heng: "You hold it up and let it become a small flag, so that I can see your position from a long distance." ”

Ignoring everyone's retention, Su Baiyi took off a swimming ring, and then swam towards the north alone.

Farther and farther away, it wasn't until the little flag loomed that he stopped.

In the vast sea, it is natural that there can be no real boat.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a ship, as long as he avoids everyone, he can buy a boat himself.

Pull open the system, spend four taels of silver to buy a small wooden boat from the system and throw it on the sea, and get a rope, it took half a day to almost not get up, after going up was already out of breath, quickly took off the layer of waterproof clothing on the outside, and looked at the boat a little.

It is similar to the sub-ship that Gu Zhong carried on the merchant ship before, and it should be slightly larger.

About six meters long, the two ends are pointed and the middle is wide, and the widest part in the middle is almost two meters, and this kind of small boat can easily carry eight people.

The problem of the ship was solved, and a new one arose.

Su Baiyi sadly found that he couldn't row.

I didn't know how to row, I picked up two oars and fiddled with them for a long time, but I found that I didn't seem to have walked much.

Forget it, don't scratch it, just wait.

Anyway, those guys seemed to see the boat here, and they were swimming in the middle of it.

After waiting for another stick of incense, the seven of them swam to them panting.

Su Baiyi used a rope to hang them up one by one, and the eight of them finally found a foothold in the vast sea intact.

"Frozen to death in our house!" Zhao Heng said as he took off the waterproof suit complainingly.

"Okay, don't complain, there are eight people here who are not cold." Su Baiyi pointed to the two oars: "If you can row a boat, go all the way to the east, you should be able to see the island, and when you wait on the island, you will go hunting some game and get some mountain springs, so you can fill your stomach." ”

Then the two men went to the stern of the boat, picked up the two oars and shook them gently, and the boat slowly sailed eastward.

People are more popular than people, it turns out that shaking is also a technical job.

The morning sun rises higher and higher, and the sun spreads on the fluctuating water, like broken gold scattered on the ground. The boat is sailing towards the rising sun, as if sailing in an endless painting.

Su Baiyi's stomach screamed a few times out of place, which immediately caused a resonance around him. Gu Zhong smiled awkwardly, his gaze went from near to far, penetrating the space and falling towards a sea area due south, where it had long become calm, and the merchant ships that were wrapped in fire before dawn were gone, and not even a wisp of green smoke could be left.

"Alright, Lao Gu!" Su Baiyi patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know that you have suffered a lot of losses this time, two people have died, the big ship is gone, the cargo is gone, it doesn't matter, in the future, I will compensate you for a big ship that does not need sails and does not need to be shaken by manpower, and then you can fly across the ocean, how about it?" ”

What else?

Gu Zhong could only twitch his cheek muscles in pain, and then glanced at Su Baiyi coldly.

The boat continued to move eastward, very slowly, slowly, until about ten o'clock in the morning, and finally saw several shadowy mountains on the sea due east, as ethereal as fairy mountains on the sea.

"Look, island, island, island!" Zhao Heng jumped up excitedly, and tears fell like his uncontrolled excretion liquid.

Gu Zhong squinted his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, it is these small islands, one hundred miles to the north is the territory of Liaodong, and one hundred and fifty miles to the south is the land of Denglai!" ”

"Okay, let's go to the island first!"

In fact, Su Baiyi is still a little uneasy, because this place is too close to the land of Denglai, when Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai in the past, the range of warship patrol radiation from east to Korea and south to Ryukyu is really nothing.

But at present, in the case of a canoe, it can only be like this.

The group shifted the bow of the ship to the target and headed for the nearest island.

People say that Wangshan runs dead horses, but in fact, looking at the island can also tire people to death.

I have seen a few small islands on the sea for a long time, but even a skilled worker rowed for an hour, and I don't know how the professor who crossed the Bohai Strait in more than 50 hours in later generations did it.

Clear water, blue sky and silver beach!

If you don't go hungry and don't freeze now, this is a very beautiful view.

The eight men landed on the shoal, and brought a lot of stones from nearby and put them in the boat to hold them down, so that they would not be swept away by the waves. The group then began to visit the whole island.

The whole island is almost barren, except for a dry forest and then bare stones, and the whole island is about two kilometers long and one kilometer wide, and there is guano on it except for the forest.

Many, many guano, I don't know how many thousands of years have been accumulated, and a thick layer is soft when stepped on.

I didn't see too many birds, maybe because it was winter, and the birds all ran south to spend the winter. However, there are also some wintering birds that can be found everywhere, such as sparrows!

Near the north of the island is a cliff, there is no shoal below, and I don't know how deep the sea is, but there is a ruin of a brick and stone house on the top of the cliff.

In many other places, you can see traces of felling trees or quarrying stones, and it seems that although this place is a desert island, it is not absolutely deserted.

After all, the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula are too close to each other, and there may be fishermen in the vicinity who come here often.

There is spring water on the mountain, after breaking the ice and taking some to taste, although it is slightly bitter, but it cannot be denied that it is fresh water, the drinking water problem is solved, and the rest is food and accommodation.

The accommodation is good, there are a few big caves next to it, and a bonfire should be able to make do at night, the only trouble is to eat. There are some small animals on the island, and some fish, shrimp and seafood can be caught in the nearby waters.

But without tools, you can't do it with your hands.

However, Su Baiyi has a portable system to carry with him, and these are not a problem.

"Now the wind is tight!" Su Baiyi saw that there were no signs of large carnivores living on the mountain, so he relieved himself and gathered everyone for a meeting: "I mean to stay on the island for a few days, avoid the limelight, and find a way out after a few days of burning the boat." Anyway, we have a small boat in hand, and a hundred miles of sea route is actually nothing. ”

A hundred miles of rowing, without eating or drinking, even if you are hungry for two days, you should be able to reach the Denglai area.

"Don't bother!" Gu Zhong said: "The north of this island is a necessary passage for merchant ships from the north to the south, and it won't take long to see the big ships, and when the time comes, you can intercept the big ships and go south directly, so landing is not a problem, the question is, what to eat on the island?" ”
