Section 113 Aurora Island and Boat Ride
Beihai is located in the north of Qingguo, five hundred miles away from Tianfu County, this distance is not far, but it is not close, even with Shi Yi's footsteps, it is also three days to arrive, of course, this is also the way Shi Yi needs to take care of the practice, stop and go, if you concentrate on the road, the speed can be much faster.
There were no accidents along the way, and Shi Yi arrived in Beihai smoothly.
Speaking of which, this is the second time Shi Yi has come to the coastal city, and the first time he went to the capital of Rong Liu Guoguo, that time because of the tight schedule, Shi Yi did not appreciate the coastal scenery much.
However, through contact with local people and things, Shi Yi still found that although Rong Liu Guoguo and Beihai are both coastal cities, there are essential differences between the two.
Although Rong Liu is located on the coast, but in addition to salt production, the basic use of the Zhaochao Sea is very limited, and the focus of its development is still to the inland, think about those officials and bandits, it is enough to see, so although Rong Liu is located on the coast, it is still very inland in nature.
Of course, this must be the result of the Xiao family's intervention in it.
On the other hand, here in Beihai, Shi Yi just came here, and the purpose was a scene of thousands of sails, long before he left, Shi Yi had explored the situation in Beihai.
The North Sea fishery is developed, the local people rely on the sea to eat the sea, most of the men are engaged in fishing, and most of the women are engaged in related industries, either weaving nets or handling catches, and even more will be engaged in the work of sea women, diving to the bottom of the sea with heavy loads, collecting shells and other catches.
In short, this place is different from Rongliu, it is a very typical coastal place, and most of the people who live here live on the sea beside them.
Shi Yi closed his eyes and felt the slight sea breeze, and the fatigue of the journey seemed to be taken away a lot, and then Shi Yi lifted his spirits and headed towards the fishing boats in the nearby port, hoping to reach his destination before the sun set.
Although Shi Yi has arrived in the North Sea, the Beihai Sea is vast, not only the great harbor where Shi Yi is now, but also the surrounding sea is dotted with forty-seven islands, which are also within the scope of the North Sea.
Now, Shi Yi is going to take a boat to one of the forty-seven islands, because the place where the ancient monks inherited is on that island.
"Boatman, are there any boats going to Aurora Island around here? At this time, it was the time to go out to sea to fish and return, and the vicinity was crowded with all kinds of boats, which made Shi Yi a little overwhelmed, so he simply asked a nearby boatman.
"Aurora Island? If you go to Aurora Island, the passenger ship departs once in the morning. The old fisherman replied.
"Is there no longer a passenger ship, the old man doesn't know if he is willing to go to sea again and take me to Aurora Island, I am willing to pay you double the fare. Shi Yi was a little disappointed when he heard this, but even if there was no passenger boat, even if he took a fishing boat, Shi Yi didn't mind, so he said to the old fisherman.
"If this guest officer is going to Aurora Island, I advise you, it's not early today, it's better to stay here for one night, and it's not too late to take a passenger ship tomorrow morning. The old fisherman looked at Shi Yi's dress, and was not moved by the reward given by Shi Yi, but opened his mouth to persuade.
"Oh, it's already afternoon, but I think it's still early for the sun to set, so why have to wait until tomorrow morning. Shi Yi glanced at the sun in the sky, and then asked the old fisherman in confusion.
"Guest officer, don't you know, that Aurora Island is the most remote among the forty-seven islands in the North Sea, not only surrounded by reefs, but also nearly 100 miles around the island, shrouded in water mist all year round, if the light is a little weaker, you can't even see clearly three feet in front of you, let alone sailing, if you are not careful, you will fall, the ship will be destroyed and killed, and only in the cloudless morning, when the sun is sufficient, there will be ships going to Aurora Island. It's too late now. The old fisherman patiently explained the reason to Shiyi.
Shi Yi saw that the other party had already said this, and it was not good to be too demanding, so he could only follow what the old fisherman said, find a place to live first, and then talk about it, anyway, it would not be a bad day.
However, the next day, looking at the sudden downpour, Shi Yi was somewhat depressed, and he had to comfort himself that the weather near the ocean was unpredictable, and this kind of torrential rain would not last long.
Another day passed, and as Shi Yi thought, the heavy rain had stopped, but seeing that there were only clouds in the sky, but no sun rising, he couldn't be happy.
Shi Yi went to the vicinity of the pier to inquire, and sure enough, the ships going to Aurora Island in such weather were of course suspended again.
Shi Yi looked depressed, feeling that he was really unlucky, and at the same time thought with some regret in his heart: according to this situation, it is better to find a fisherman with a little more courage when he arrived in Beihai on the first day, and go directly to Aurora Island, and there will be no big problems with his own escort.
Just when Shi Yi was full of regret, a voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Wait, this guest officer, wait. ”
"Are you calling me, looking for something about me? Shi Yi looked back when he heard the sound, and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a swarthy fisherman running towards him, so Shi Yi stopped and asked the other party suspiciously.
"Guest, you're going to Aurora Island, right? The middle-aged fisherman ran to Shi Yi, took a slight breath, and then asked Shi Yi.
"Yes, I'm planning to go to Aurora Island, but how do you know? Shi Yi frowned when he heard this, and asked the middle-aged fisherman again.
"Hehe, the guest officer doesn't know, those of us who go out to sea to fish, the relationship is very close, many are relatives, every day when we return from the sea, we like to get together for a few drinks, and the news spreads very quickly between the glasses of wine.
These days, the passenger officer always runs to the pier to inquire about the passenger ship to Aurora Island, and the news has already spread all over the pier.
In addition, on the first day of the visitor's visit, the old man I inquired about was a contemporane of my father, and I called him an uncle, and I heard him talk about it casually. The middle-aged fisherman smiled innocently and explained to Shi Yi.
"Oh, I see, then you don't know why you came today. Shi Yi's heart moved when he heard this, revealing a sudden expression, and then asked the middle-aged fisherman.
"Guest officer, you have also seen that the weather has not been beautiful recently, and the weather is always cloudy and uncertain, especially when it is close to winter, I don't know when the weather will return to clear, in case the autumn rain is endless, then you have to wait. The middle-aged fisherman said with a look of concern for the teacher.
"Well, you're right, in that case, I wonder if you'd like to take me to Aurora Island by boat. Seeing this, Shi Yi didn't go around in circles, and asked directly at the other party.
"Of course, of course I do. That's why I'm here, but you also know it, the Aurora Island is full of dangers on cloudy days, and the ship is in danger of capsizing if you are not careful, so for the sake of me sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman, this price has to be this number. The middle-aged fisherman's honest face, but he couldn't hide the greed in his eyes, and he stretched out five fingers and compared them in front of Shi Yi's eyes.
