In the evening, Zheng Yang came to the dock of xiaogangwan again.
The fishing boats that went out to sea had sold their catch and returned to the island. One of the small fishing boats was jumping down. A middle-aged white man and an old fisherman were father and son.
The middle-aged man's name is Hans. He helped Zheng Yang buy Mercury the other day.
Zheng Yang went up and said to the man, "Uncle Hans, will you go fishing tomorrow near the small island 23 nautical miles south? I want to go up there and find something. "
"Xiao Zheng Yang, what do you do with some strange things every day? The island is surrounded by rocks. Fishing boats can't reach the shore at all. It's said that there are many poisonous insects and snakes on it. It's too dangerous. You'd better give up your strange ideas. "
Hans stops and stares at Zheng Yang's serious warning.
"Besides, you should also find a job. If you go out to sea with people or go to the harbor city, there will always be job opportunities. I've been able to sail and net skillfully at your age
"I see. So uncle Hans, are you going to the south island tomorrow?"
“……”
Hans looked at Zheng Yang deeply. The boy took his words as the wind in his ear! After a moment's silence, he said:
"my boat doesn't have a lifeboat. If you have to go, persuade mark to lend you his lifeboat, or you'll have to swim to the island."
Zheng Yang tried his best to act like a teenager. He waved his fist and said happily, "thank you, uncle Hans. I have my own lifeboat. I'll make two oars later. "
"Oh, hell!"
Hans said, "I know you've collected some materials, but believe me, you can't build a decent boat with those old ship plates. You can't get into the water at all."
Old Hans tied up the rope and came up from below. When he heard his son's words, he was very dissatisfied and interrupted: "Little Hans, I seem to have told you the story of how I successfully escaped from the shipwreck when I was young by relying on a piece of boat board."
"Please, father, you can't call me little Hans all the time. I'm thirty-five years old!" Hans held his forehead to complain to the old fisherman. After that, he said to Zheng Yang, "the story my father told is just an accident, it doesn't represent common sense."
Zheng Yang took him home and said, "I really built it. It's in the yard. I just need a few people to help me carry it to the sea and tie it to your boat first."
Different from Hans' attitude, old Hans showed great interest in Zheng Yang's words, which would follow in the past, and said that if Zheng Yang did not make it well, he could help improve it.
A moment later, a group of people crowded into Zheng Yang's yard. In addition to Hans and his son, they also heard about the old people and children who came to watch along the way.
At the sight of the boat, the onlookers exclaimed, and Hans was silent.
The children looked at Zheng Yang with admiration and admiration. It was so amazing that they could build a boat by themselves, even though it was just a small lifeboat.
Old Hans was also surprised: "I didn't expect you to have such a good skill. Look at these joints and bending parts, they are really beautiful, and they have a solid keel. At your age, it's incredible. Oh, what's this, a worm shaped bow? "
He felt and smelled the stale smell on the wood, and exclaimed: "if you didn't insist that you created it, I really thought it was a great boy who had been tested by the sea!"
"Do you want to be a sloop? There's no need at all. It's too small to go to the deep sea. It's OK to row by the sea! Even if you want to go far away, you should install an engine. Just hang up a few hundred gold shields. " Said Hans.
Zheng Yang naturally can't tell the truth, just said: "I don't have much money, and I want to play the triangle sail!"
Hans shook his head and thought that Zheng Yang was playing too much. He has heard that some lunatics like to sail around the world in a sloop. Of course, the sloop is much bigger than Zheng Yang's. The boat in front of us is so small that a little bigger wave can knock it over.
However, he asked a few people to help carry the boat out, and it was really suitable to row it to land on the island.
In fact, such a boat was not heavy, so two people could carry it easily. Even Hans could carry it himself, which was more laborious.
After a while, they put the boat beside the wharf, and Zheng Yang pushed it into the water. All of a sudden, a kind of comfortable feeling passed from the spirit boat.
"Zheng Yang boy, I have an old oar here. As a gift to celebrate your success in building your own boat, I give it to you!" Old Hans handed down an old oar from the fishing boat and said with a smile.
Zheng Yang said thanks in a loud voice. He wanted to row his boat out of the waves immediately.
Hans then dropped a rope and asked him to tie up the boat so that the tide would not take it away. He would not find it tomorrow.
Another old fisherman said, "Xiao Zheng Yang, I have an old canvas that I can't use. Do you want it? It's enough for your sailZheng Yang where can dislike, immediately thanks to accept.
Hans laughed, invited Zheng Yang to his home for dinner, and told Zheng Yang that he would help him make sails after dinner, to ensure that he would be satisfied.
Next, Zheng Yang went to the old fisherman's house and brought the old canvas, which was less than three meters long and one meter two wide. It's enough for the current spirit boat. Madam, the wind may overturn the boat.
In fact, old Hans made the sails smaller because Zheng Yang's boat was too small. Compared to let the boat eat wind to run, old Hans is more likely to help children make more toys.
For this reason, he also spent a large bundle of ropes and a set of pulleys from Hans. Zheng Yang also seriously said that he would return the money to him in the future.
They went to the seaside all night to install the jib for the boat, because it was not bright tomorrow, so they had to go out to sea.
Once the sail is loaded, it's a bit awkward.
It was also because the boat was too small, less than one meter wide and only two meters long. Coupled with the triangular sails and four or five cables, it was almost impossible for Zheng Yang to move on board.
Fortunately, Zheng Yang knew that he could expand it through transformation in the future.
"Little Zheng Yang, listen to me. Play to play, but you can see that your boat is very small. Remember not to drive it to the deep sea, or it will be dangerous! " Hans looked at the excited appearance of the old and the young. After a long time, he still warned Zheng Yang seriously.
Zheng Yang patted his chest and assured: "don't worry, uncle Hans, you know, I've always been a good obedient child!"
Hans felt a toothache.
You call that obedience? There are no bear children in the whole island!
There is a small cabin in front of the fishing boat's cab, and there is a simple folding bed inside. Zheng Yang also asked, "can I sleep well on your boat in the evening? I'm afraid I'll oversleep at home and delay my time."
"Whatever you want!"
……
Zheng Yang went home and packed a backpack with bottles, jars and field tools. There were binoculars that Xiao Zheng Yang's father had bought for his birthday, compass, flashlight, waterproof Flint (magnesium rod), first-aid kit, realgar water to expel poisonous insects and snakes, mercury and many roots of luminous rattan that he dug in the afternoon. If he has a chance, he will naturally activate the sail at the first time after collecting the materials.
There was no dry food to take. Zheng Yang took only 2 liters of fresh water in plastic bottles, carried a backpack and a chopper with a blade about 30 cm long, and went to Hans' fishing boat.
Although Zheng Yang had no appetite for fish because of his dream last night, he still had to eat it in order to survive, especially when there was no dry food to bring in the island.
