Had I known, I should have promised hot pot and spicy skewers right from the start; perhaps I could have saved myself, Rod!
No worries, if it’s broken, it’s broken. Anyway, I won’t be fishing anymore. With tears in my eyes, I comforted Zen Staff Sister, and Zen Staff Brother quickly added, “Hurry up and pack it away! I’ll treat you to spicy skewers; if we wait too long, we’ll have to queue!”
Having promised a meal of spicy skewers, I rescued Fishing Set from my wife’s hands and quickly stuffed it into the Fishing Box. There was no time to organize; I just needed to secure it first!
Watching the two drive away, Xiao Yu immediately ran over with Yun Tai.
With a bit of editing, this material could make two short videos. Maybe I’ll come back tomorrow to shoot some more; who knows, it might even turn into a series! Xiao Yu chuckled as he pulled up the footage from earlier.
“Let’s go! I’ll treat you to spicy skewers. Who knows, by tomorrow we might have material for a third short video!” Rod said as he packed up the Fishing Box and stuffed it into the trunk. Starting the car, he thought that if he drove fast enough, he might catch up with them since they still had to stop by the nearby clinic for Zen Stick.
The paperwork for the Mini Light Boat had already been processed. A few certificates were locked away in the cabin, and after securing the ropes, I decided to take Kang Ziyu for a quick spin while Sun Lang and the others weren’t paying attention.
The boat was named after Kang Ziyu, a traditional Chinese name.
I initially thought of calling it Dream Stream or perhaps Long Winds and Breaking Waves—Sailing High Across the Seas. Alternatively, there were names like Unfulfilled Aspirations or The Wandering Boat.
The last two names were nice too; one represented ambition while the other symbolized freedom.
In the end, I chose a name inspired by a poem: “The cries of monkeys on both banks never cease; my light boat has already passed through ten thousand mountains.”
Years ago, when I was exiled to Yelang and received news of my pardon while passing through the imperial city, I boarded a small boat and ran back along the Yangtze River to Jiangling. Thus, this name became synonymous with homecoming.
A light boat is just that—a light boat. The Mini Light Boat is lighter by nearly ten tons compared to similar vessels and is incredibly fast; the name fits perfectly.
As we left the dock and sat on Feiqiao, Shi Tian turned to Kang Ziyu and asked, “Xiao Yu, where do you want to go?”
Driving from Feiqiao offers an advantage: high visibility with no obstructions in front or behind, allowing one to lean out easily. Thus, most people prefer navigating from there when entering or leaving port.
“I’m going to feed Big Stone and Little Stone; I’ve prepared some for them,” said Kang Ziyu. “I haven’t seen them in a while; I wonder if they’ve moved!” She set down Tang Tang and walked over to lean on Shi Tian’s shoulder with a smile.
“Alright, once we’re out of Nearshore, let’s head down below deck and test out the performance of the Mini Light Boat.”
This outing was all about testing its capabilities. At thirty knots, we were already nearing the maximum speeds of both the Mini Air Force and the Air Force, yet this was merely cruising speed for the Mini Light Boat. If we pushed it to fifty knots with such a light vessel, would everyone aboard be able to hold on?
Once we exited Nearshore, both of them went down into the cabin. Achieving maximum speed required closing the hatch; all personnel had to be inside.
Fifty knots is equivalent to ninety kilometers per hour. If someone fell overboard at that speed, even minor injuries could result in fractures.
At cruising speed of thirty knots, neither of the two engines made any noticeable noise; it was surprisingly quiet.
At this speed, there was hardly any bumpiness—fifty kilometers per hour is manageable for higher-end yachts as long as there aren’t strong winds or large waves.
"Xiao Yu, find something to hold onto, I'm about to speed up the boat!"
There were no safety belts on the yacht, and with sofas scattered everywhere, there weren't many places to grab onto. After reminding Kang Ziyu, I glanced over at him sitting down and then looked at Radar. There were only a few boats around, so Shi Tian slowly pressed the accelerator to gain speed.
