"One, two, hi! One, two, hi! ”

Zhu Youzhen shouted a trumpet in his mouth, and worked with Li Zhenyan to push the canoe into the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The hull of the info shuddered violently, then regained its balance and floated steadily on the surface.

Zhu Youzhen was also worried that his poor craftsmanship would cause the canoe to tilt to one side on the water. Now seeing that Xiaozhou is impartial, I can't help but feel proud, secretly thinking that the hard work of more than two months has finally not been in vain. He happily boarded the boat hand in hand with Lee Jung-yeon, jumping and jumping on it, even if he accidentally planted himself in the sea, he could not extinguish the excitement in his heart.

With the canoe, Zhu Youzhen had to prepare for leaving Yuyu Island.

First, he had to determine the destination of the voyage. So he relied on his memory to carefully carve a map of the seas around East Asia on a relatively flat rock. Since he was a geography buff in his previous life, his maps were drawn in a very regular manner. In particular, the most important proportions, he has repeatedly verified that they are no different from the maps in his previous life.

As can be seen from the map, Diaoyu Island hangs off the coast, 200 miles to the east is Chiwei Yu, and then to the east is the Ryukyu Islands. In the vast sea, the most difficult thing to grasp is the direction. If there is a slight deviation, it will pass by, so it is extremely dangerous to go east.

Not so far south and north. To the south of the island is the vast Pacific Ocean, and there is no land at all; Although to the north is Chinese mainland, it is more than 700 miles away from the nearest place. Because there were no materials to make the sails, the canoe had to be rowed purely by hand. With such a long distance, it must take many days to get there. Once there is a strong wind and waves at sea, I am afraid that such a small boat will not be able to survive.

Therefore, the only feasible route can only be to go west to the island of Taiwan. The northernmost point of Taiwan Island is slightly south due west of Diaoyu Island, and the straight-line distance is more than 300 li. It's far enough, but it's at least half as close as the mainland.

Although Zhu Youzhen did not know much about the current situation on Taiwan Island, he also heard that the base camp of Zheng Zhilong's sailors was in Longgang on Taiwan Island. Zheng Zhilong is his enemy, and if it falls into his hands, there will naturally be no good fruit to eat.

But he can't manage so much now, thinking that even if he meets Zheng Zhilong on a narrow road and dies in a bloody battle, it is better than being trapped on this desert island for the rest of his life! And the island of Taiwan is so big, he may not be so unlucky, and he must let Zheng Zhilong bump into it. There will certainly be a lot of ships coming and going between the island of Taiwan and the mainland, and it should not be difficult to find an opportunity to return to the mainland when the time comes.

So in the end, Zhu Youzhen made up his mind to cross the sea in this canoe and land on the treasure island of Taiwan!

But there's a lot more to do before we set off. Food and fresh water go without saying, these things are arranged by Lee Jung-yeon. Foods such as dried fish and roasted bird meat can be placed directly in the cabin. As for fresh water, Li Zhenyan prepared dozens of coconut shells and filled the shells with water, which was enough for the two of them to drink for a month.

Zhu Youjian's main job is sea trials. Because although the canoe was successfully launched, he still didn't know whether it could sail long way at sea. It happened that there were several small islands near the island, so Zhu Youzhen chose a cloudless and calm sunny day, and took them as the destination for a sea trial to check the performance of the boat.

The first target is Feiyu. Feiyu Island is the closest to the main island, and it takes 10 minutes to row a boat. The area of the island is also very small, less than ten zhang in circumference, and there is no grass on it, but it is just a large reef.

However, since he came, Zhu Youzhen still solemnly put a stone on it as a monument and engraved the words "China Feiyu". In his opinion, even if the islands and reefs are small, they are the sacred territory of the motherland, and they must not be sloppy.

The next South Island, North Island, South Island, and North Island are basically lined up from south to north, and Zhu Youzhen also visited the island one by one. These small islands are within more than ten miles of Yuyu Island, because the sea vision is extremely far, even after boarding these islands, and then looking back at Yuyu Island, it seems that Li Zhenyan can still see Li Zhenyan standing on the top of the mountain and waving to herself frequently.

Zhu Youzhen also painted scoops on gourds, and carved tablets on these small islands to declare sovereignty. I only ran into trouble on Nanxiao Island, because a large number of snakes gathered on this projectile island, the small ones were only the thickness of fingers and the length of chopsticks, and the large ones were the thickness of the mouth of a bowl and a zhang long. Zhu Youzhen was afraid that he would fall into the snake's nest and become a delicious meal for these cold-blooded animals, but he didn't dare to dock, and only circled around the island and rushed to the next island.

This circle turned down, and a whole day had passed, and Zhu Youzhen had to hurry back. By the time I got back to the island, it was already completely dark. Li Zhenyan hurriedly ran over, plunged into his arms, crying and complaining: "Why did you come back now, everyone is worried about death!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was moved in his heart, and was busy comforting Li Zhenyan while telling her what he had seen and heard that day. When she heard that some islands were full of snakes, Li Zhenyan refused to follow it and resolutely refused to let Zhu Youzhen go to sea alone in the future.

There was no word all night, and the next day it was a sunny day. Fishing on the small islands around the island, only Huangwei Yu, forty or fifty miles to the northeast and almost at the limit of the sight distance, has not been gone. As for Chiweiyu, because it is more than 200 miles away in the east, it cannot be seen at all from Yuyu Island, so Zhu Youzhen does not plan to go.

Since Li Zhenyan insisted on going together, Zhu Youzhen regarded this trip to Huangweiyu as an actual combat exercise before sailing to Taiwan. Because the distance of forty or fifty miles is not far away, but it is not close to say that it is close, and it is a hundred miles away to go back and forth. If this trip goes smoothly, you will have the bottom of your heart when you go to Taiwan again.

The two went out to sea early in the morning, and Huangweiyu at this time was just a small dot on the sea level. The blue sky is covered with white clouds and the rising sun fills the sea with golden rays that sparkle as far as the eye can see.

On a whim, Zhu Youzhen hummed a small tune while paddling: "Let's swing the oars, the boat pushes away the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls~~~"

"Your Highness is really joking, where are there any white towers and green trees and red walls here?" Lee Jung-yeon laughed jokingly. Before she fell into the fishing island, she embodied more gentleness and grace. But since she combined with Zhu Youzhen, her innocent side that had been suppressed for many years was finally released, and she often joked with Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen was also happy to see her like this, thinking that Li Zhenyan was burdened with national hatred and family hatred, which was already depressing enough, and she must try her best to make her happy!
