1510. Quiet Town
It was too far away, and Jabbar was worried that Qin Shiou would be bored and bored on the road, so he tried to speed up, but halfway they encountered a moose slowly crossing the road, which almost scared the group to death.
Fortunately, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reacted fairly quickly and stepped on the brakes in time, and Toyota's domineering brakes were strong enough to stop before hitting a moose.
After that, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't dare to drive too fast anymore. As long as the speed of the car exceeded 100 kilometers, Qin Shiou would remind him to slow down. He didn't want to die because of an indifferent fishing ground.
But he had to admire the moose, the suv finally drove up to it, and this guy was still walking leisurely in the middle of the road, Kareem had to honk his horn to drive it away.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, the suv finally arrived at Xiaoye City. Although the name has 'city', Xiaoye City is actually just a county town with not many residents. It is a bit like Farewell Town. It is a small city supported by fishermen and fish farm owners.
Out of Xiaoye City is Kejimkujik National Park, even if it is only early spring, this place is already lush and green. After a short rest, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar drove to the fishing ground. Qin Shiou looked out the window boredly, and then he was attracted.
After entering the national park, a beautiful and magnificent picture slowly unfolded, and he saw the beautiful scenery that he had never seen on Farewell Island.
Perhaps because it is not far from the St. Catherine River and the ocean, there are many lakes in this area, and I encountered four or five small but very clear small lakes along the way.
The blue sky here is exceptionally clear, because Xiaoye City is the only city without industry within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The lake water and blue sky here complement each other, showing the uncanny beauty of nature.
From time to time on the road, I can meet some people who drive out to fish and hunt. It can be seen that the life in the small place is leisurely, and the pace is slower than that of Halifax, even the cars drive slowly.
"It just refreshed my understanding. I thought that the pace of life in St. Johns was slow enough, but it turned out that Halifax was even slower, but when I came here, I found that the pace of life in Halifax was considered fast. "Qin Shiou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar rarely talked, and simply asked: "Why? How did you see it?"
Qin Shiou said: "To put it simply, you drive much slower here."
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar turned his head and glanced at him, then grinned and said, "The driving here is slow, not because you don't want to drive fast. It's because there are many wild animals in the park. If you drive too fast, accidents will happen!"
Qin Shiou was surprised that he didn't see much on the road, so Kareem explained to him,
It is said that the animals around the road have all learned. He would run away early when he heard the sound of the engine, so he drove slowly to give the animals a reaction time. If he drove faster, he would see many animals.
As he said that, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the suv accelerated to more than 100 mph. After driving for half a minute, he encountered a group of green geese resting on the road.
These green geese were lazily lying there. It is estimated that no one usually hunts them, and they are not vigilant. Seeing the SUV approaching, he subconsciously flapped his wings and flew away.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has been paying attention to this situation. After seeing the green geese, he stepped on the brakes and slowed down. Even so, the SUV drove to the front and back, and the last few green geese flew away. Hit it, the bird will die and the car will overturn!
After driving for a while on the winding jungle road, the field of vision suddenly widened, and we arrived at the seaside.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar drove into a dilapidated fishery, which was a small square as soon as he entered the gate. There is a big star statue on it, but the paint on the outside is mottled, which makes it lose its color a lot.
There is no doubt that this is the star fishing ground.
Qin Shiou looked at the fishing ground with professional eyes. First of all, the land area of the fishery is relatively small, which is different from Farewell Island. The land area of the fishery on Farewell Island is very large, usually about ten square kilometers, and the coastline extends to the land for one or two square kilometers.
This is because there are many mangroves by the sea, which makes it impossible to extend far into the land. Similar to the Golden Bay Fishing Ground, but better and with more beautiful scenery.
There are a total of ten houses in the fishing ground. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar introduced him, that one is his villa, this one is a fisherman's apartment, the largest one is an icehouse, and so on.
Qin Shiou nodded and said yes, Jabbar immediately became complacent, and began to praise his fishery in various ways.
He has already boasted all the way, Qin Shiou didn't say anything before, because he didn't see the fishery with his own eyes, and now he has something to say when he sees him: "Stop it, buddy, is this the fishery you are talking about? Where is the strong and reliable pier ? Just that small pier? Can it be said to be strong and reliable? Can it dock a thousand-ton ship?"
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said unconvinced: "Of course it can, although it is not too big, in fact it is made of very exquisite materials. It is built piece by piece with stones selected by my grandfather himself. It is a really good pier. Besides, don't look at it. It’s small, so what’s the use of having a big wharf? There are a lot of big wharves in Tokyo Bay, but didn’t they still collapse in the end?”
The Tokyo Bay Harbor Group has been reopened, but there are still areas under repair. This time the "God's Whip" really hurt the Japanese, and the loss in Tokyo Bay is estimated to exceed 500 billion!
On the pier, Qin Shiou released the sea god consciousness, and Kareem invited him to board the boat.
While browsing the underwater scenery, he said casually: "If this fishing ground is really as good as you said, why are you selling it?"
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar showed a struggling expression, and said: "I don't want to be like this, buddy, but fish farming is not my ideal. I don't like this kind of small place, and driving is so slow! If I sell the fish farm, I will go to Toronto. Or go to Ottawa or Montreal, I will be a top DJ and pursue my dream!"
Qin Shiou now understands why this guy has bad ears and likes to chatter. It turns out that he is a DJ, and he probably sings a lot of rap songs.
The internal environment of the fishing ground is very good, and the catch resources are quite rich. Seaweed and seaweed are widely distributed on the seabed, and some small squids, fiddler crabs and the like are rampant in it.
There are many salmon schools in this fishing ground, and the number is no less than that of cod. This is quite amazing. After Qin Shiou got on the boat and looked north, it seemed that there was a big river flowing into the ocean in the north.
That is the St. Catherine River, the largest river in southern Nova Scotia. It originates in Lake Ontario, passes through the United States, enters New Brunswick, and finally flows into the North Atlantic Ocean from here.
The Seagod consciousness quickly sailed northward, and sure enough, after three or four kilometers, he found the wide mouth of the big river. If he followed the mouth to the northwest, he would enter the inland river. (To be continued.)
