Chapter 342 Qin Xi went down to the middle of the boat, and suddenly the boat shook for a while, almost not shaking Qin Xi into the water.

"Be careful, sir!" The pavilion chief jumped directly into the boat, and then stretched out his hand to support Qin Xi, and at the same time, the boat under his feet also stopped shaking.

Qin Xi let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Pavilion Chief. ”

"Your Excellency is gracious." The pavilion chief helped Qin Xi and said, "My lord, this big boat is different from a small boat, on a small boat, one person can decide the balance of the boat. Qin Xi squatted down and sat on the boat, then picked up the boat penny on the boat and stabbed it into the water.

The penny kept going down, and the whole penny was about to be submerged, but it still didn't reach the bottom, and the penny was at least a dozen feet long.

"It's so deep!" Qin Xi said.

"My lord, it's at least twenty feet deep." The pavilion chief said. Qin Xi sat on the boat and asked, "After this bay goes out, is it still so deep?" ”

"Of course not." The pavilion chief pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Five hundred steps outside, there is a reef, and anyone can stand on it." But a little further south, there is a gap, and the location of the gap is deeper than that. ”

"How wide is the gap, can you determine the location?" Qin Xi asked.

"We can determine the location, after all, if we return with a full load, we can only enter through that gap, which is about a hundred paces wide." The pavilion chief said.

Qin Xi asked, "Can you row over and have a look?" ”

"Childe, no!" Ah, the two of them suddenly became nervous.

"It's fine." Qin Xi waved his hand and said. The pavilion chief asked, "My lord, do you know water?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?" Qin Xi asked.

"That's okay, if you don't know how to water, the little one really won't dare to take you out." The pavilion chief said as he picked up the oars.

After a while, Qin Xi went out in a boat, leaving a few people to watch anxiously, they didn't know how to water.

"My lord, what are you doing, I don't think you're here to investigate corruption." The pavilion chief said.

Qin Xi looked at the endless sea and said, "Let's tell you the truth, we are here to survey the terrain and build a port for Great Qin. ”

"To build a port with us? So what do we do? The pavilion chief stopped his movements and asked.

Qin Xi turned his head to look at the pavilion chief and asked, "Have you ever seen that kind of large merchant ships and warships?" ”

"I've seen it, I've been to Huiji City with a smile, I'm lucky to have seen it, it's really big." The pavilion chief said yearningly.

Qin Xi said: "If the port is built, I will let you go out to sea to fish with such a big boat." Even if you don't fish, your village will become a county seat, and you can do some business at that time, and your life will definitely be better than this. ”

"Really? My lord? The pavilion chief asked.

"Of course, the Great Qin people don't lie to the Great Qin people." Qin Xi said. The pavilion chief nodded happily, and then continued to row the boat, and soon reached the position of the gap.

"My lord, this is the gap down here." The pavilion chief said. Qin Xi glanced at the surface of the water, it was very clear, but it was obviously impossible to see the bottom.

Qin Xi took off his clothes on the boat three times and divided them by two, and then jumped directly into the sea. Seeing this scene, the hearts of the second class on the shore tightened, and they were relieved when they knew that Qin Xi was exposed to the water again.

Qin Xi stood on the reef, and suddenly the water level was only up to his waist. Qin Xi cashed back, this reef is quite wide, about five or six feet.

The pavilion chief stood on the boat and said, "My lord, the tide is rising in my heart, otherwise the water level will reach your legs at most." Qin Xi nodded, but after swimming towards the opposite side in the water, after swimming for nearly two hundred steps, he finally reached the reef on the other side, and the reef here was much higher than the opposite one.

After a while, Qin Xi returned to the boat, basking in the sun and said, "Except for the hukou that leads directly to the sea, there are reefs on both sides. I roughly measured it, and the reef groups on both sides were not large, but they formed a natural barrier. ”

"My lord, can this really build a port? If those big ships hit those rocks in the water, they would sink them. The pavilion chief said.

Qin Xi said: "I'm not sure yet, I won't know until further testing later, by the way, is there such a good bay nearby?" ”

"No, unless a hundred miles or so further south, there's a nice bay, but it's not as deep as here, but there are no stones." The pavilion chief said.

After returning to the shore, the water on Qin Xi's body was almost sunburned, only the pants were still wet, Qin Xi didn't care, and put on his clothes.

"Childe, are you alright?" Ah, a few people hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, get out of the way, I'm dressed." Qin Xi said. After getting dressed neatly, Qin Xi felt that his buttocks were a little cold.

Qin Xi couldn't see it, but Ah Er they saw it, and the position of Qin Xi's butt was wet. Qin Xi said to the pavilion chief: "Pavilion chief, I have worked hard for you today." ”

"No hard work, no hard work." The pavilion chief smiled: "My lord, it's not too early, it's better to stay in the village for the night, and go back tomorrow." ”

"No need, we have other things to do, so we won't bother." Qin Xi said.

"In that case, there won't be many villains left, and I'll send a few adults out of the village." The pavilion chief smiled and sent Qin Xi and the others all the way out of the village.

After seeing Qin Xi and the others riding away, a strong man walked up to the pavilion chief shirtless and said, "Dad, how do you know that they are officials sent from above?" The pavilion chief said: "Although I don't know if they are officials sent from above, but your father I don't dare to say whether they are or not, as long as they serve well, whether they are or not, we are not wrong." ”

"Besides, even if they come to cheat and cheat to eat and drink, and our village has no money, and the food and drink are unpalatable, they will leave on their own, and we have no loss." The strong man smiled: "Dad, you are really amazing, I have taken my son." ”

"Boy, learn a little, your father and I are not in the position of pavilion chief." The pavilion chief said with a smile. On the other side, Qin Xi and the others returned to the camp.

"Is there anything interesting in that village, why have you been there for so long?" Yu Miaoyang was the first to jump out and ask.

"It's not fun, it's just going to be in the water." Qin Xi said. Qin Xi found Bai Muxue and asked Bai Muxue to prick herself, and suddenly a fishy smell came into her nose.

"! Where does the smell of fish come from? Qin Xi pinched his nose and said. Bai Muxue pinched her nose lightly and said, "The smell on your clothes." ”

"On my clothes?" Qin Xi sniffed it and almost died on the spot. Qin Xi remembered that he had thrown his clothes on the boat when he went into the water, and the boat was a fisherman with big fish, could the taste be light?

Qin Xi hurriedly got into the carriage and changed his clothes, as for the previous set, Qin Xi threw it directly into the fire.

On that day, Qin Xi couldn't eat the fish anymore, and everyone ate grilled fish again, only Qin Xi gnawed on the dried meat again.
