In the early morning, we walked against the sea breeze.
The morning ferry departs at full capacity. There are many islands scattered along the coast of Rolda. Due to the development of tourism, fishermen have successively converted old fishing boats into ferries to carry passengers to various islands.
A ferry is like a bus, it has a stop before it reaches an island.
The whole journey takes three and a half hours.
The 'Pier Island' that Zhou Sheng and his party were going to was the final stop.
Located near the edge of the open sea, it was once an important supply station on the way to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. However, the development of tourism has not benefited it because it is too far. Because of the long journey, development costs have increased exponentially.
To this day, there are no modern hotels on the island. After the locals came into contact with the outside world, although tree house apartments were opened, the electricity was only available from 8 to 10 o'clock every night, and everything still tended to be primitive.
Most tourists were put off by this introduction, there was no electricity or hot water.
Therefore, most tourists regret to miss this first island of Rolda in He Congshuang's mind.
Well, she made the proposal because Lao He had been here.
The Tang family, who live in a modern city, also want to experience the primitive customs. The situation on the island is not as difficult as imagined, but the exquisite beauty is beyond imagination.
After a three and a half hour journey, it was already noon when the outline of Pier Island appeared in front of us.
On the bow deck, there were only a dozen tourists left, but they were all in high spirits.
A foreigner said: "I have been here once. The Roman Princess cruise ship will replenish fresh water here during its trip to the Cape of Good Hope. The stay is only three hours, but those are the three hours that I remember most."
When her words fell, He Congshuang showed a slight smile, as if reminiscing.
Zhou Sheng had actually been paying attention to her all morning, so he naturally noticed something and couldn't help but ask: "Is this why you discovered this place?"
He Congshuang glanced at him, as if he didn't want to talk to him, but he still didn't continue the cold war——
"There is a deep-water port on Pier Island, but not many people stay here. I know the captain of the Roman Princess. He is the only one willing to spend three hours on the entire Cape of Good Hope route to give tourists an unforgettable experience."
"Then we disembarked and had an unforgettable Christmas."
It is not surprising that Lao He knows the captain of a cruise ship.
So what attracted Zhou Yisheng’s attention was actually another point——
"us?"
However, Lao He had no answer for him. He turned back calmly and looked at the blue sea, blue sky and the island.
After disembarking.
There was no noisy scene of soliciting guests, only a kind reminder from the crew: "You have to walk across the island road to the other end of the island. If you are lucky, you may be able to hitch a ride, but the probability is not very high. The whole island
There is only one truck, which is used to transport supplies across the island."
Hiking at noon when the sun is shining is definitely not a good experience.
But when a group of more than a dozen tourists walked for half an hour, they encountered the best result...
They saw the so-called truck.
A military truck from the Second World War was decorated with colorful paint by its owner and decorated with coconut shells.
Before they could greet me, the car stopped. An old man with gray hair smiled and said, "Get in the car, but you have to promise not to damage my beautiful car body decoration."
Everyone laughed, even the Tang family couldn't help laughing after hearing Tang Yi's translation.
When everyone was about to climb onto the carriage, Lao He led Jie Laer to the old man's side...
The old man was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly became deep, as if he was remembering.
Then.
"Holland's daughter? I remember you!"
"Old Quinn, he didn't live as long as you!"
It was obviously a sad answer, but the old man laughed loudly: "I told you before, people like that won't live long. This is the first time I've seen someone dive into the depths of the Eye of the Shark without equipment, okay?
…Rebecca, is this your daughter?”
"Yes, her name is Jie La'er."
"Beautiful black girl, and where is her father?"
Zhou Sheng originally thought that Lao He would call him.
Unexpectedly, Lao He smiled and said nothing, and the old man nodded and led them to the front row without asking any more questions.
Zhou Sheng:???
This is too much!!
You guys sit in the front row, and we sit in the back row?
However.
Even though he was angry, Zhou Shengsheng was not so shameless and could only walk to the truck body in despair.
Other tourists also saw this scene and lamented how wonderful it was to meet old friends, but no one was jealous...
Only Tang Yi.
After Zhou Sheng got in the car, he switched to Chinese: "You two, had a fight?!"
quarrel?
What's the quarrel about?
Can I tell you that we are married?
"It was a bit unpleasant."
Hearing this, Tang Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, seize the opportunity."
Tang Yi's wife also said: "Yes, Old Tang talked a lot about you two last night. Come on, Xiao Zhou, try to make He Congshuang my younger brother and sister. Then I will be so happy that I wake up from my dreams."
Born on Monday::)
It’s done, thank you.
…
The car roared with an engine as old as the grizzled old man, and soon arrived at the other end of the island.
Beach, tree house, light blue sea, colorful fish looming among the waves.
Everyone's reaction was the same.
"Heaven!"
"This is more beautiful than the Maldives."
"Maldives?! It has long been reduced to a commercial template, but even the Maldives twenty years ago cannot compare to this place."
Others compare it to the Maldives.
A few people on Monday can only trample Sanya into shit.
After the car stopped, Lao He got out of the car and had already obtained the keys for them in advance: "Follow me."
Because of their acquaintanceship, Lao He naturally got the best house and gave the three keys to Tang Yi. The house was located in the middle of the beach.
Wait for the Tang family to go in and put their luggage.
He Congshuang glanced at Zhou Sheng: "Follow me."
Zhou Shengsheng followed suit naturally.
The two took little Jieral through the coconut grove at the back and found a thatched hut among the trees.
One room, three people.
Zhou Shengsheng's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't hesitate to ask: Let's live together?!
After placing the luggage, everyone met up and headed to Old Man Kunni's residence. The self-built two-story building sells some goods and rents swimming and diving equipment.
Eating is also here.
But no one is responsible for cooking.
Old man Kunni said: "Rebecca, I won't introduce it to you. Go find the guy in the tool room yourself. Nothing has changed. It's the same as ten years ago. Maybe you can find something interesting."
He Congshuang nodded and said to Tang Yi: "We don't sell food here. We have to be self-sufficient. It's too hot outside. You guys have a rest. Zhou Yisheng and I will go find something to eat and we'll be back soon."
Everyone was stunned. Tang Yi’s wife said: “Do you want to catch fish by yourself?”
The implication is, will you be hungry?
He Congshuang smiled and said: "I don't know about others, but I will definitely not let you go hungry."
Little Zierra was left behind.
Zhou Shengsheng followed He Congshuang to the tool room. Just after entering the door, Lao He saw a smile on his face again. He walked inside and pulled out a tree boat.
I quickly selected a handheld fishing net and diving goggles.
"Let's go, help me carry it."
Xiaozhou Children's Shoes complied.
The tree boat is so light that two people can lift it without any effort.
When he came to the beach and put the tree boat into the water, Lao He stabilized the tree boat and said, "You go up first."
"Ladies first." Someone was still pretending.
Lao He smiled meaningfully: "Are you sure? Don't regret it."
Seeing her look like this, Zhou Sheng didn't dare to mess around. Maybe this thing required some skills, so he asked Lao He to hold the boat steady while he sat in the front row.
Following closely behind, Lao He jogged a few steps to push the tree boat, then briskly got out of the water and jumped onto the tree boat.
Shaking violently, the tree boat seemed to be about to tip over at any moment, which scared Zhou Sheng's heart to the point of jumping into his throat.
Then, after getting on the boat, Lao He easily maintained his balance and restored everything to calm.
