Chapter 266 Just take the boat and don't care about rowing
Chapter 266 Just ride the boat, don’t row the boat
The night sky is clear and the sea is calm.【】
In the vast expanse of sea, two figures tightly intertwined were swimming along the ocean current towards the coast.
Suddenly, lights came on in front, and three speedboats were speeding over the sea.
Rebecca, who was nestled in Ye Feng's arms, was the first to spot the speedboat in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "My dear, another boat is coming."
Ye Feng raised his head and carefully observed the three fast-moving speedboats. Looking at the Namibian flag hanging on the bow, Ye Feng said, "It's a speedboat from the Namibia Coast Guard."
"Coast Guard." Rebecca frowned, looked at Ye Feng affectionately, and asked gently. "My dear, do we want to ask them for help?"
"I don't believe them." Ye Feng laughed and said lightly. "Except for my friends, I will not trust anyone. Especially in this crisis-ridden time, I will not trust these belated coasts.
Guard. For your safety, I would rather hold you and swim to the beach."
"Two consecutive assassinations took place in the same sea area. This makes me wonder if these Coast Guard personnel are related to those killers." Rebecca blinked and kissed Ye Feng on the cheek.
After a moment, he said with a smile.
"My dear, you just said that you would hold me and swim to the beach. Hehe, from now on, I will not swim. I will stay in your arms obediently and let you take me away."
"No problem." Ye Feng nodded and said with a smile. "The Coast Guard speedboat is coming. Take a deep breath, we are going to dive."
The two took a deep breath and then dived into the sea. After a while, three speedboats flew past and headed towards the sea where the Granma cruise ship sank.
The sea returned to calm, Ye Feng hugged Rebecca, and the two of them surfaced again. Rebecca did what she said. After emerging from the sea, she looked like an octopus, with her hands and feet entangled.
On Ye Feng. "My dear, let's set sail quickly. I want to take the cruise ship 'Ye Feng', facing the rising sun, and sail to the other side of victory."
Looking at the smiling Rebecca, Ye Feng also laughed, lying on his back on the sea, then reached out and patted Rebecca's pink buttocks. "Rebecca, I swam back to the beach in a backstroke position. Lying on my back
On top of me, spread your hands and feet so that you can feel more comfortable."
"My dear, you are so kind." Rebecca stretched out her arms and legs and stretched herself very comfortably, and said with a smile. "Oh, it's so comfortable, just like lying on the bed."
Ye Feng stretched out his arms and paddled quickly in the water. "If you are tired, just lie on my chest and sleep for a while."
"I'm not sleepy at all. I want to take a good look at you." Rebecca blinked, holding her pink cheeks in her small hands, staring closely at Ye Feng's eyes with a pair of big sapphire eyes. "My dear, I think
You are very mysterious."
"Mysterious." Ye Feng was taken aback and couldn't help but ask. "I'm just an ordinary person. Just like you, I have two hands and two feet. What's so mysterious about it."
"I think you are incredible." Rebecca stretched out her little hand and gently stroked Ye Feng's cheek. "Why can you hold your breath in the sea for so long? In order to avoid the yacht that came to search for survivors, we
It took almost twenty minutes to dive into the sea. Moreover, you gave me part of your breath. I think if you were allowed to dive into the sea alone, you could stay in the sea for at least half an hour."
"This is actually very simple. Adjust your breath, keep yourself calm, and gradually slow down your heartbeat, so that you can reduce your consumption of oxygen." Ye Feng paused and continued. "If you can let yourself blend in with the surroundings
The environment allows your body to integrate with the surrounding seawater. This way, you can not only dive into the sea for a longer period of time, but also rely on the slight fluctuations of the seawater to feel every move around you."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Rebecca opened her mouth in surprise. After a long time, Rebecca slowly recovered. "It's amazing. Did you just let yourself merge with the sea water?"
Ye Feng nodded and said calmly. "I can feel the existence of that yacht, and every move it makes is within my senses."
Rebecca's eyes flashed with joy and she said with a smile. "Just now you said you were going to hold me and swim back to the beach. I thought you were joking, but now I believe it."
"Pay attention to the movements of my body." Ye Feng said with a faint smile on his face, looking at Rebecca.
"Now, my body has completely relaxed, and my whole body has become one with the surrounding sea water. You can see that my paddling movements are very slow and the amplitude is very small. You may think that my swimming speed is very slow.
But the actual situation is not like this. I can feel the movement of the ocean currents around me. At this time, I only need to gently move my arms to make myself move quickly and effortlessly with the help of the movement of the ocean currents."
"Be one with nature." Rebecca raised her pretty face, looked at the stars in the night sky, and quietly thought about what Ye Feng had just said. Suddenly, Rebecca seemed to think of something, exquisite
A bright smile appeared on her cheeks.
Rebecca lowered her head, looked into Ye Feng's eyes, and said, "Dear, I remembered that I had read a book introducing ancient Chinese philosophers. The book mentioned that Zhuangzi, the representative figure of Chinese Taoism, had a point of view, which is
The unity of nature and man. The skill you just used to integrate with the surrounding environment, is it the unity of nature and man?"
"My master is a wandering Taoist priest." Ye Feng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he mentioned his mentor. If it weren't for the wandering Taoist priest who was both a teacher and a friend, Ye Feng might have died long ago.
Once you are in pain, there will no longer be the "Wind of Hell", the king of killers who will dominate the dark world in the future.
Ye Feng thought for a moment and then said, "The set of breath adjustment methods I just mentioned were taught to me by my master. This method may be created based on the Taoist theory of the unity of nature and man."
"It's amazing." Rebecca blinked, with a look of admiration and reverence on her delicate cheeks.
"My dear, you said you would take me to swim back to the coast. However, I didn't see you using a compass. How did you judge the direction?" Rebecca raised another question.
Ye Feng stretched out his right hand, pointed at the stars in the sky, and said with a smile. "You can judge the direction based on the stars in the sky."
"It's based on the Big Dipper to determine the direction. I've seen it in a book before, but I don't know how to calculate the direction." Rebecca raised her pretty face, looked at the stars in the night sky, and said with a smile. "
Dear, is this method simple? Can I learn it?"
"It's very simple. As long as you find the position of the North Star, you can determine the direction." Ye Feng paddled in the water with one hand and held Rebecca's little hand with the other, pointing to the Big Dipper in the night sky. "First, we need to find the spoon-shaped Big Dipper.
Seven stars, then find the two stars on the handle of the spoon, extend the distance between the two stars five times, and you can find the North Star on this straight line. The direction of the North Star is true north."
"So that's it." Rebecca followed the method taught by Ye Feng and found the position of the North Star, then said with a smile. "The direction we are heading now is southeast."
"Absolutely correct." Ye Feng nodded and continued. "In areas south of 40° north latitude, the Big Dipper often turns below the horizon. Especially at dusk in winter, the Polar Star is often not visible. At this time, you can use the Southern Cross to
Use stars to determine the direction. The Southern Cross can only be seen south of the Tropic of Cancer. Its position is due south and is easy to judge. Experienced sailors rely on Polaris to determine the direction of due north in the northern hemisphere, but in the southern hemisphere
, you need to rely on the Southern Cross to determine the direction of due south."
Ye Feng took Rebecca's little hand and pointed to the position of the Southern Cross in the night sky. "The Southern Cross is composed of four brighter stars, shaped like a 'cross'. These four stars are Cross One,
Cross Two, Cross Three, Cross Four. On the lower right side of the Southern Cross, Cross One and Cross Two, the line connecting the two stars extends downward to about four and a half times the distance between the two stars, which is due south."
"It's so interesting." Rebecca looked up at the stars, her face full of intoxication.
Suddenly, Rebecca thought of another question. "My dear, the method you taught me is to rely on the stars to determine the direction. If it is a cloudy day and there are no stars, how should I determine the direction."
"There are many methods. Let me teach you a few simple methods first." Ye Feng paddled the water with both hands and swam quickly towards the coast.
"If it's a cloudy day, you can judge the direction based on the tree crown. The side with lush tree crowns is south, and the side with sparse crowns is north. You can also judge based on the tree stumps. The growth rings on the side toward low latitudes are sparse, and those on the side toward high latitudes are sparser.
The growth rings on one side are denser. In addition, the south side of rocks, mounds, and big trees has lush vegetation, while the north side is prone to moss."
Ye Feng paused and then continued. "If it's snowing in winter, the snow on buildings, mounds, field ridges, and highlands usually melts faster in the south and slower in the north. If you know the river
The direction can also be judged based on the river. The right bank of rivers in the northern hemisphere is steeper and the left bank is gentler; the rivers in the southern hemisphere have a steeper left bank and gentler right bank."
"My dear, you are so amazing."
…
There was a trace of fish belly white in the sky, and the sun gradually left the horizon. It was red, as if like a dazzling agate basin, slowly moving upward. Around the red sun, the glow was completely dyed. The light and relaxing clouds,
It looks like a girl in red dress dancing gracefully.
"Honey, look." Rebecca stretched out her little hand, pointed to the looming coast in front of her, and shouted excitedly. "Land, I see land, we are about to swim to the beach."
Ye Feng reached out and patted Rebecca's pink buttocks, and said with a smile. "Rebecca, you should say that I am about to swim to the shore. For the whole thirty nautical miles, you have been lying on my body, but I haven't seen you.
You paddle through the water."
"You can't blame me, you are my cruise ship." Rebecca said triumphantly before blinking. "I am a passenger. I just ride the boat, not row the boat."
Not long after, Ye Feng "carried" the tourist Rebecca and swam to the shore.
After landing on the shore, Rebecca looked at Ye Feng, then at herself, and said with a smile. "My dear, our two drowned rats finally came ashore. However, I didn't bring anything with me except the clothes on my body.
Now, what should we do."
"Don't be anxious, wait a moment." Ye Feng smiled, quickly ran to a rock not far away, and took out a small satchel from the gap in the rock.
This small satchel was hidden by Ye Feng before he went to sea. It contained several passports and, most importantly, several stacks of U.S. dollar bills.
Ye Feng walked to Rebecca, opened his satchel, and took out a stack of brand-new US dollars. Ye Feng fiddled with the stack of US dollars, listening to the crisp sound of the bills, and a faint smile appeared on his cheeks.
"We have r (US dollars), which is a hard currency in Africa. Rebecca, let's buy new clothes first, and then find a restaurant to have breakfast."
