Returning to 1983, besides his wife, there is also the sea that makes Liang Ziqiang linger.
Beachcombing is just a beginner's exploration; a light boat entering the sea truly understands ...
Chapter 57 Father also got impulsive
Perhaps because they were afraid, the three of them checked the fishing boat repeatedly before going out to sea.
After Lin Baixian finished the inspection, Liang Ziqiang and his son continued the inspection. Their distrust of him was clearly written on their faces.
Lin Baixian had nothing to say about this. After all, the last mistake almost cost two lives.
After a thorough inspection and finding nothing wrong, they headed out to sea one after the other.
The two boats did not head straight for the nameless wild island, but sailed in the usual direction for a while. When they reached an area with few fishing boats, they turned eastward.
Doing so would make it more consistent with what they had previously told the villagers about the "Scale Island".
On the big ship with "Yongrui" written on it, Liang Ziqiang and Lin Baixian sat at the stern, controlling the steering wheel and looking out at the vast sea outside the cabin from time to time.
Lin Baixian asked:
"Among your family members, is your father the only one who knows about Nojima's affairs?"
Liang Ziqiang glanced at the fish that occasionally flashed on the nearby sea surface and nodded, "Except for my dad, my mom and my brother, they all talked about Chengpan Island. The main reason is that they are afraid that the truth will reach Lizhi's ears. That little mouth will probably let the whole village know within three days."
Lin Baixian said self-deprecatingly:
"You're fine, at least your dad is very tight-lipped. My dad's loud speaker is different, it's as loud as a lychee. If he drinks a few more glasses of wine, it might even be worse than a lychee! Simply, when my family asks me, I always say it's Chengpan Island!"
As this guy was talking, he kept touching the back of his neck and neck with his hands, making it seem like Monkey King was constantly plucking his sweat hairs.
Liang Ziqiang glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you itchy all over? Do you have lice or fleas?"
Lin Baixian rubbed off a strand of dead skin from his neck:
"It's specially brewed. The few days I was on the island were the hottest I've ever been exposed to the sun since I was born. My skin was completely sunburned!"
Seeing that piece of dead skin was about to be handed to him for appreciation, Liang Ziqiang quickly dodged:
"If you come over here again, I'll throw you into the sea and let you wash yourself clean, believe it or not!"
Lin Baixian stopped decisively, but he was a little curious:
"That's weird. How come I got sunburned and you're fine? That doesn't make sense. Yesterday I saw your neck was very red, but it's getting better today? Do you have any secret recipe?"
Liang Ziqiang then noticed that the burning pain in his neck yesterday was much relieved today.
So, my wife’s efforts yesterday were not in vain!
Seeing Lin Baixian's neck peeling like a snake, he couldn't help but feel sympathy, so he gave some advice:
"You must have some cucumbers in your garden. Pick two, cut them into thin slices, and apply them to the sunburned area for an hour or so. It's guaranteed to work! It will feel much better the next day!"
"Cucumbers can be used like this? Where did you learn these evil tricks, Aqiang?"
"Then don't believe it."
"I didn't say I don't believe it! I'll go back to the field and pick two cucumbers and do as you said. It's like being on fire and it's so uncomfortable!" Lin Baixian accepted his suggestion on the spot.
While Liang Ziqiang was talking, he looked at an object in his right hand from time to time.
The round little object had a little dark green rust on its open copper cover. A pointer was constantly jumping, one end of the pointer was red and the other end was white.
No matter how Liang Ziqiang moved his hands, the red arrow stubbornly pointed to the north, while the white end pointed steadily to the south.
Liang's father has been using this small compass for many years and it has always been very accurate.
The last time Liang Ziqiang went to Fox Bay Island to fish, he could find the direction almost with his eyes closed, so he didn't bring this with him.
This time we went to an unnamed wild island. With this, combined with the experience of the last round trip, we can drive there much more accurately and avoid taking a detour halfway.
After driving in the southeast direction for half a day, the two of them filled their stomachs and drank some water on the boat, which was considered lunch.
When the sun was a little bit west, we finally arrived at the nameless wild island.
With normal control of the steering wheel, both boats were easily anchored on the beach.
Liang Ziqiang and his companions got off the boat first and dropped anchor. After a while, Liang's father also parked the boat and walked over here.
The three of them saw at a glance that the broken-down boat was lying neatly on the beach.
"Dad, do you have any impression of this island? It should have a name, right?" Liang Ziqiang asked his father.
After all, my father has been fishing for decades and has certainly been to more seas than he has.
Father Liang looked at the island carefully for a while, and finally shook his head:
"No, I haven't seen it. I guess no one in the village has been to this island. If no one has been here, it naturally has no name."
Then he explained:
"This is normal. Yanghai City claims to have 100 islands, but if we include all the big and small wild islands, there are probably more than 200 of them. It took us half a day to drive here, and this is beyond the normal fishing area! Isn't it normal that no one has been to such a remote wild island?"
Lin Baixian asked without thinking: "Is this place considered close to the deep sea?"
Liang's father immediately denied it:
"Deep sea? Are you kidding? That's still a long way off! The real deep sea is not something that our fishing village's wooden boats can reach. Even a bigger boat like Yongrui's can't reach it!"
In fact, only someone like Lin Baixian would suddenly ask this kind of question.
This place is still a long way from the real deep sea. Liang Ziqiang didn't believe that Lin Baixian didn't know this.
All fishing boats have a range they can go at sea, depending on their size and the specifications of their machinery and equipment.
Although the small fishing boats in the village can sometimes roam on the sea for two or three days, they are all in safe waters and never dare to go to the deep sea without permission.
In waters deeper than 200 meters, the marine environment is extremely harsh, with strong waves, winds, and ocean currents. Even if Uncle Rui's larger wooden boat went there, there would still be no return.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The distance between the fishermen's usual activities and the 200-meter-deep area can only be described as "far away".
But in fact, the safe sea area alone is vast enough for them to roam and fish for a lifetime.
There are more and bigger fish in the deep sea, with richer varieties and more valuable, but that money has nothing to do with them.
Unless one day, their fishing boats are constantly upgraded and evolved into large ocean-going fishing boats.
Father Liang had seen how fresh the seafood on this island was in the barrel and snakeskin bag yesterday, and couldn't help wanting to take a look, so he immediately said:
"Didn't you say there are still a lot of those super-large seafood here? How about we go and take a look now?"
Lin Baixian immediately ran to the front:
"Let's go now. If I don't let you see it with your own eyes, you'll think that Aqiang and I are just kidding you!"
The three of them immediately walked towards the reef.
Today is not a low tide like the fifteenth day before yesterday, but at this moment, part of the bottom of the reef is also exposed.
Even though Liang's father was well-informed, he had never seen a group of reefs like this one. Not only were there more of them, but they were also too big!
If it was a deep-sea island, this kind of scene wouldn't be surprising at all. In fact, there would be more and better things on a deep-sea island, but who would have the ability to reach them?
These things are happening right before his eyes, real and real. How can Liang's father not be shocked?
"Three-headed abalone, giant prawns, red crabs as big as bowls, and the chicken claw snails over there are so big that they are a bit scary..."
Liang's father looked all the way over, as if he was counting his own warehouse.
As for the large oysters and mussels, which were not very valuable, he ignored them and did not mention them at all...
What Liang Ziqiang didn't expect was that his mature and steady father could also be impulsive sometimes.
As he watched, his father suddenly changed his mind and said:
"I think we should not go back today. Since we are here, we should find some good things to bring back. We can spend the afternoon here, sleep on the boat tonight, and sail back to the village tomorrow!"
After hearing this, Lin Baixian immediately raised both hands in agreement.
Only Liang Ziqiang's legs trembled when he saw their posture, and he almost knelt down in front of them.
Just because it's sunny today doesn't mean it will be sunny tomorrow.
What day is tomorrow? The 18th day of the seventh lunar month, which is August 26th in the Gregorian calendar!
In the previous life, there was a sudden storm! Father and Lin Baixian didn't know, but he couldn't be unaware.
"Dad, have you forgotten that we still have several barrels and a snakeskin bag at home that we haven't sold yet? We have to go back and find a market for them first. We can't just try to get them here and leave the ones at home to stink, right?"
Liang Ziqiang didn't want his father to continue watching, so he found an excuse, pulled his father and walked back...
