The next morning, more than a dozen people gathered and set off on a cruise ship to Xisha.
There were many tourists on the cruise ship, all going to Xisha, but unlike Wang Mo and others, they were in a group.
It was said to be a cruise ship, but after getting on board, Wang Mo realized that this was not a cruise ship at all. It was basically a converted ferry!
The tourists were all talking about it. They didn't even enter the room for a while. They were all on the deck, seeing the tourists' doubts and dissatisfaction.
The staff held a loudspeaker and said, "Hello, tourists, I am the captain of this trip. I guess everyone is confused now. Isn't this just a modified ferry? What else is a cruise ship?
This is indeed a renovated ferry. Some of the facilities on the ship are relatively old, but your rooms are brand new. Everything from the beds to the bathrooms are newly renovated, which will definitely satisfy everyone.
Going back to the topic just now, why don’t we use a cruise ship? Because the place we are going to soon involves state secrets and no foreigners or foreign ships are allowed to approach. Now we do not have a domestic shipyard that specializes in producing cruise ships, so foreign cruise ships
You are not allowed to enter Xisha."
After listening to the captain's explanation, everyone was relieved. Some people took the lead and everyone applauded, and some people even shouted "The motherland is awesome!" etc.
Because Wang Mo and the others took the ship temporarily, they did not have access to the rooms on the ship, but there was still a dedicated lounge.
However, after Wang Mo and the two left their things with the staff, they came to the deck together.
This time is when the sun is shining high in the morning, and with the sea breeze, it’s not too hot, but if you want to take good photos, don’t even think about it.
Originally, Zu Yan was planning to ask Wang Mo to take some beautiful photos of herself so that she could post them on Douyin or something like that, but after taking a few photos, she gave up on the idea. It was because her hair was blown by the sea breeze, and everything in the photos was disheveled.
She looks like her hair is hanging down, but there are a few pictures where she is holding her hair with her hands and was caught by Wang Mo, facing the blue sea water, which is quite beautiful.
The cruise ship stopped dozens of miles away from the Paracel Islands, and Wang Mo and the others had to be sent up by kayak for the rest of the journey.
Even other tourists on the cruise ship have to take kayaks if they want to go to the island.
After everyone put on life jackets, Wang Mo and Zu Yan were the second ones to set off. There are seats on the kayaks, but they are very narrow. People who are too fat cannot fit in.
Moreover, Wang Mo and the others were covered with waterproof clothing on their suitcases and bodies.
After the kayak started, everyone was very excited, mainly facing the waves, and the speed was very fast, which made people feel very excited, especially the two people sitting at the front of the kayak.
I was already a drowned rat, but I was shouting excitedly.
The person sitting next to Wang Mo was Zu Yan. At this time, Zu Yan was nervous and held Wang Mo's hand tightly.
As they approached the Xisha Islands, the speed had slowed down, and Wang Mo and the others could see some of the island.
The beach is white, and the water ranges from dark blue to light blue with a hint of green. Except for the small island, there is an endless blue ocean.
"It's so beautiful," Zu Yan said in Wang Mo's ear.
By the time we got ashore, everyone had already put on beach shoes, so they were not afraid of the water, and some of them were still barefoot.
After landing on the shore, someone was already here to receive him. At this time, he and Wang Mo and others were explaining the precautions.
Wang Mo smelled the fishy smell of the sea and frowned. He had stayed in the north for many years. At this time, he suddenly asked about this smell. He couldn't accept it for a while, but looking at such a beautiful scenery, other things can be tolerated.
.
Wang Mo and his team are led by a man in his 30s. They are tourists from all over the country. There are only 12 people. They are all registered by China National Travel Service, so the leader is also a member of China National Travel Service.
After arriving at the place, everyone just moved their own things. Only Wang Mo and the two brought the most things, mainly Zu Yan's. The others either had a bag or a small suitcase.
Of course, Wang Mo's things were handed over to Zu Yan, so Wang Mo carried one in his hand and another on his shoulder, and huffed and puffed ashore.
When the others saw Wang Mo's appearance, they all laughed kindly, but Zu Yan still felt embarrassed.
The buildings on the island were different from what Wang Mo thought. He thought that typhoons and the like often happened here, and they were all bungalows. Unexpectedly, he saw a building, although it was only three stories high, and the houses where other local fishermen lived were not like that.
This dilapidated house is actually the kind of reinforced concrete house, and it is row upon row, very beautiful.
Wang Mo and the others were arranged to stay at a local fisherman's home. Wang Mo and Zu Yan followed the leader to the place where they would stay for the next few days.
It was an old man, who looked to be at least in his 70s. He bent down, saw someone coming, and stood at the door to greet him.
The team leader went up and spoke to the old man in the local dialect, but Wang Mo and the other two couldn't understand.
After the team leader came back, he settled Wang Mo and the two of them, "This is the house we have arranged for you. The old man lives alone, his son is in the city, his wife has left, and he also participated in the Xisha Naval Battle. If you are right
If you are interested in that period of history, you can chat with the old man.
The people are very nice and easy to get along with, but I am a little hard of hearing, so I have some communication problems. If you need anything, please call me. I am on the island. It is already late today, so you can move around freely. I will be there after dinner.
Notify in the group, and I will notify you of tomorrow’s activities during dinner.”
After seeing off the team leader, Wang Mo moved their things into the room. After entering the room, the two were dumbfounded. There was only one room here, and the other room belonged to the old man.
So Wang Mo asked Zu Yan to clean up first, and Wang Mo came to the old man's house.
Wang Mo came back after a while, "You can sleep here by yourself. The old man and I will sleep in another room. We have already agreed."

Zu Yan was very embarrassed, but she still accepted Wang Mo's kindness. Now it is really not suitable for the two of them to live in the same house.
Dinner is basically all seafood and some fruits, all local specialties.
Because they were all fruits, Wang Mo only tasted them briefly, because he was not very keen on seafood, so he ate more fruits.
After seeing this, Zu Yan asked him quietly, "Are you not used to the food here?"
Wang Mo nodded, "Well, I don't usually like seafood, what about you?"
Zu Yan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I'm not used to it either. How about we go somewhere else to have some food later? I saw there are a lot of restaurants here."
So the two made an appointment to go alone for a while, and now the team leader is talking about the next arrangements, which are nothing more than diving and sea fishing, and fishermen who are interested in fishing can sign up.
Wang Mo and Zu Yan came here for diving. As for sea fishing and fishing, they had no interest in it, so they agreed to move freely next time.
After Wang Mo told the team leader his thoughts, the team leader was still happy. For tourists like Wang Mo, he probably liked him the most, so the team leader told him that he would arrange half a day of diving every day.
He will notify Wang Mo and arrange for Wang Mo to pay attention to safety when he is on the island. If there is anything, call him. If you can't get through, go to the local police station.
After Wang Mo and Zu Yan had dinner, the two of them wandered around the island. It was already evening, but the island was still very bright, and the sun had not set yet. It was the afterglow of the evening, red.
.
The two of them walked to the edge of the island unknowingly. Wang Mo looked at the setting sun and the endless sea water. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
I don't know how much time passed, but Wang Mo opened his eyes again. He felt as if he had fallen asleep just now. The state of relaxing his mind made Wang Mo forget where he was for a while.
"Cough cough cough"
Suddenly a coughing sound came, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but you were a little scary just now, so you suddenly closed your eyes, and nearly 10 minutes have passed."
Zu Yan interrupted his thoughts, and Wang Mo finally remembered that he was with Zu Yan now.
"It's okay, I just feel so relaxed suddenly. Let's go back."
Zu Yan looked at Wang Mo's back and remembered what Zhou Jin said to her, "He has many stories in his heart."
The next morning, Wang Mo and the two participated in the flag-raising ceremony on the island, and then waited to go diving. After all, diving has to wait for the temperature to rise.
Wang Mo brought an underwater camera, diving glasses and other essential items with him when he came.
Wang Mo actually doesn't know how to swim, and he's still in the sea, but with the addition of an oxygen tank, he thinks he can swim.
But Zu Yan’s swimming skills are very good. In her own words, she can dive even without an oxygen tank. Wang Mo doesn’t know if she is bragging or if she is serious. Let’s take it seriously.
While diving, Zu Yan kept holding Wang Mo's hand and carrying him with her. With Zu Yan's help, Wang Mo gradually found the trick.
Wang Mo saw different scenery at the bottom of the sea, which he had never seen before.
In the next few days, when there was diving, Wang Mo and Zu Yan went to participate. When there was no diving, they just tasted local delicacies on the island, or found a place where no one would disturb them, spread a layer of cloth, and lay down.
Enjoying the tranquility up there.
I have to say that the ultraviolet rays here are really poisonous. The two of them wear sunscreen every day when they go out, but Wang Mo still sunburned the skin on his neck.
Zu Yan is fine, but her skin has turned a little darker, not as white as before.
The two of them stayed on the island for 5 days, during which they also went to two other islands. Of course, they were taken by the team leader, but the infrastructure was not as good as this one, and it was not as big as this one.
Five days later, the group returned to Sansha City and needed to stay here for one day before setting off back to Sanya's Phoenix Pier tomorrow.
