The boat gradually moved away from the land. The sea conditions in the bay were relatively calm. However, after sailing seven or eight miles on the waterway, the land on both sides gradually turned into a black line, with a wider sea ahead. The calm sea conditions also became a bit turbulent.

.

It was May, the southeast monsoon was blowing strongly, and the waves on the sea surface were surging, undulating like hills. The color of the sea water also became deep blue, and it looked like a piece of dark jade from a distance. This color gave people a sense of

A deep and mysterious sense of fear.

Fang Zian was better off. After all, he had gone out to sea with a big ship and had seen the vastness and wind and waves of the sea. Zhao Gang was different. Although he was a native of Lin'an, he often saw the sea, and even participated in the excitement many times when the Qiantang tide came in August.

.However, looking back, my own personal experience is a completely different story. The hull of the boat swayed with the ups and downs of the waves, and Zhao Gang's heart also swayed up and down. His face was pale, he was dizzy, and in the end he climbed on the boat and vomited.

His whole body was weak and his face was ashen.

The elders were overjoyed when they saw Zhao Gang's appearance. Fang Zian even suspected that they deliberately sailed the boat into the strong wind and waves to mess with Zhao Gang. As a native of Lin'an, Zhao Gang was actually a landlubber and got seasick. Fang Zian was also very worried.

Speechless. Seeing that Zhao Gang was really uncomfortable, Fang Zian taught him a way to tighten his belt and restrain his body, which could reduce the shock and vomiting of the internal organs in the body. This method was learned by Fang Zian in the army.

Temporary methods without medicine sometimes do work. Zhao Gang panted and followed the instructions, but at this moment, a burly man, he was curled up like a kitten in the cabin with no strength.

"My dear husbands, there are thousands of islands along the coast of eastern Zhejiang. Where should we start searching? Are we going to search one by one?" Feng Yiming's expression was as usual, but he was a little worried about the aimless search in the vast sea.

"Looking for them one by one? Even if you are crazy, there are dozens of big islands with names in our sea. What about Changguo Island, Wengzhou Island, Shengsi Island, Taohua Island, Daxie Island

, Xiaoxie Island, Meicen Island, Shenjia Island, etc. There are so many unknown islands and reefs. Look for them one by one. Will you find them every year?" Wan Laoshuan rolled his eyes and said.

Fang Zian's scalp was numb. He knew that there were thousands of islands along the coast of eastern Zhejiang. He didn't think much about it before. He only thought about going to the sea to find someone. Now that he was on the sea, he immediately considered this problem. In this situation, he looked for it randomly.

, even if you go through each of the islands and reefs, I am afraid it will take three to five years to search all the islands and reefs. The key is that even if you find the island where others are hiding, you may not be able to find it when you get to the island.

People. Some of these islands and reefs are very large, with high mountains and trees, caves and deep streams. Hundreds of people can hide wherever they want, but there will be no trace or sign at all. Even if the court mobilizes the navy to search, I'm afraid

It also takes thousands of people to search together to be effective.

Fortunately, there were several old men accompanying him, and Fang Zian knew that they must have some ideas.

"Then how do we search? Do we need to go through some screening? There is no need to go to some islands." Fang Zian said.

Wan Laoshuan said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, why don't you tell me how to choose a handsome man? Let's listen too. Mr. Fang seems to be a wise man, and he is incomparable with that one."

Wan Laoshuan pointed at the earth-colored Zhao Gang who was huddled beside the side of the boat. At this moment, he did not forget to ridicule Zhao Gang.

Fang Zian knew that several old men were going to set questions to test themselves. This reminded Fang Zian of his time in the special operations team. During actual combat exercises, when a task was to be carried out, the captain always had to test everyone, such as

Talking about how to get rid of the bunker in front, how to pass through the enemy's warning zone, etc. This is to let everyone develop a good habit of thinking carefully when encountering problems. Fang Zian has obviously developed such a good habit.

"If we were to screen, I think there are three types of islands that we don't need to look for. One is the island that is too small. This time, there are probably five or six hundred people in Baytou Village and Wanjia Village plus my people. The island that is too small is probably

There are simply not enough places to stay, and some small islands and reefs cannot accommodate hundreds of people, so they can be ignored." Fang Zian said in a deep voice.

"That's well said. After all, adults know better. This point is correct. Just by this point, hundreds of small islands and reefs can be screened out." Wan Laoshuan praised.

"What else? After sifting through hundreds, there are still hundreds left. Even hundreds can't be searched," Wan Laosan said.

"The second screening condition is that the island is too big. As far as I know, several large islands have imperial naval ports and naval forces are stationed. If you can't hide, you can't throw yourself into a trap.

"Fang Zian said.

"You're right. This one has screened out more than 30 large islands. There are still hundreds left. They still need to be screened." Wan Laoshuan had some respect for Fang Zian. This young man was indeed on the point.

"The third condition is even more important, that is, there must be a water source on the island. It is early summer weather on the vast sea, and it is impossible to prepare enough fresh water on the ship. Hundreds of people need water to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. If there is no

There is no way to stay with a stable fresh water source. I don’t know how long I will have to hide this time. I must go to an island with sufficient water." Fang Zian said solemnly.

"Oh, it's awesome, it's really awesome. It's really amazing. I didn't expect Mr. Fang to be so considerate. I really admire him. If you say he's just a fisherman who fishes all year round, Mr. Fang is a scholar and doesn't make a living at sea. He can say these three things.

Come on, it's already amazing." Wan Laoshuan raised his thumb and praised loudly.

Several other old men also nodded in praise. It was already very easy for Fang Zian to name these three screening conditions. For a scholar who is not involved in farming, this is already amazing.

"This third one can filter out more than half of the islands at once. In the East Zhejiang Sea, apart from the big islands, there are only about 20 islands with stable water supply. We only need to search these 20 islands

, basically you can find them." Wan Laoshuan said with a smile.

Fang Zian asked: "Can you add another condition to facilitate more accurate screening?"

"Oh? Are there any conditions for screening?" Wan Laoshuan and others asked in surprise.

Fang Zian said: "Wan Dalongtou and the others are riding in a big ship. There are naval forces cruising in the sea in eastern Zhejiang, and the big ship is very eye-catching. Even if you can't touch it when you go out to sea, you will definitely be noticed if it docks next to the island for a long time. So I guess Wan Da

The dragon head will definitely look for an island where a large ship can be hidden. For example, there is an island like a small bay, so that the ship can be hidden to avoid being discovered by the navy. I don’t know if there is such a small island.”

"Oh, why didn't I think of it? That's true. It must be so. Mr. Fang's reminder was timely." Wan Laoshuan patted his thigh and shouted.

An old man said: "I just remembered and was about to say something, but he said it."

The others looked at me with disdain and said, "What the hell do you think of it? I didn't even see you mention it just now. In the past few days, we have speculated about the island where we are hiding, but we haven't seen you say a word. But now you have to force yourself to put gold on your face.

Already."

The father-in-law argued with a red face, but the others had already stopped paying attention to the matter. Wan Laosan said: "It seems that, how can

There are only one or two small islands to stay in. I think Dongji Island and Gulang Island are both possible. They are far away from the big islands. There are also freshwater lakes on the islands, and there are also inner bays where large ships can dock. It must be those two.

Place."

Others nodded and said: "Exactly, exactly, compared to those two places."

Wan Laoshuan said: "It's just a little far away. It's almost out to sea on the far east side. The wind is strong and the waves are strong, so their big ship can naturally sail there, but our ship may have some difficulty."

"Wan Laoshuan, what are you afraid of? If you can't control the rudder, just step aside and I'll come. I know you won't succeed at the critical moment. This has been the case since childhood." Wan Laoshan said.

Wan Laoshuan said angrily: "Fart! I'm known to be good at steering. Who is better than me except Wan Dahai? You Wan Laoshan is at the helm? We all have to go into the belly of the sea shark. Go ahead, I didn't say that I can't be at the helm.

I'm worried about Mr. Fang and these two young people."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "We are not afraid. Now that we have determined the location, let's go. Let's go quickly."

Wan Laoshuan smiled and said: "In that case, let's go for it. To be honest, this kind of small boat cannot go to the far sea, but the waves today are okay and not too big, so it should be OK. We can't tell what happens at sea.

Catch them in, lest a storm breaks out and they're doomed. What are those old guys doing in a daze? Add a sail and you'll be messing around and being lazy. What about you, Wan Laosan, you're the best at being lazy.

You have been like this since you were a child."

Wan Laoshuan was determined to retaliate and returned the words. Amidst the quarrels of several elders, the awning boat raised a side sail, catching the wind coming from the thorns and turning it into forward momentum. The speed suddenly accelerated.

Moving quickly on the sea.

The speed of the boat increased, and Zhao Gang, who was seasick, couldn't stand it anymore. The vomiting that had stopped started again. He crawled on the side of the boat and vomited loudly. He vomited all the food he had eaten in the past few days. It seemed that he wanted to fill his stomach.

About to spit it out.

The two islands mentioned by the husbands are both dozens of nautical miles away in the open sea. Generally, only large ships dare to go that far. Small fishing boats fish in the shallow sea between the islands. Fortunately, the sea conditions are indeed good, and the wind and sun are beautiful today.

, the waves on the sea are undulating, but they are not too violent. As long as the weather remains unchanged and the wind does not increase, there should be no big problem.

But the distance was too far. Although the two islands were in a straight line and there was no need to take the wrong route, it would still take at least several hours to get there. By noon, we had only walked halfway. Everyone was actually very tired. Although a few old men were trying to be brave

, but after all, my age is not forgiving, and sailing a boat is a physical job, and I am exhausted and panting.

Seeing this, Fang Zian proposed to rest and eat on a nearby island to regain strength. Several old men were also hungry, so they agreed to get off the boat and rest. Everyone set up firewood and lit a fire on the beach, and Fang Zian took out dry food.

The food was given to the father-in-laws, but Wan Laoshuan refused.

"You treat us on the shore, and of course we treat you when we get to the sea. The sea is full of food, and all you have to do is drink. Old guys, let's go catch some fish and shrimps."

Wan Laoshuan couldn't help but and a few old men started catching fish and shrimps on the rocks and beaches of the sea. It was not a boast. After all, he had lived on the sea all his life, and his skills in catching fish and shrimps were good. He soon caught a lot of crawling ones.

Blue crabs, a few large lobsters and a few sea fish. Fang Zian was overjoyed. These fresh seafood would be very expensive to eat in later generations, so they were caught here casually. So they grilled the fish and shrimp on the fire, and everyone ate them with wine.

Got up.
