Chapter 103: The Opposite

As the morning light fell, Jacques climbed the lookout and looked out at the shore with his binoculars.

On the shore was a steep cliff, and the waves crashed against the cliff wall, and they had no choice but to retreat, leaving behind a clump of white foam, and another wave came one after another, splashing the water, and leaving the same foam as it left.

The only way to land on this stretch of coast is to swim through the rocky waters, climb the rock wall under the impact of the waves, and then climb to the top of the cliff nearly 100 meters high.

Even the top of the cliff is not an easy road, judging from the dense vegetation on the top of the cliff, this is the rainforest mentioned in the geography book.

While the rainforest is not completely dominated by alien beasts like the Foggy Mountains of the North and the jungles of the central New World, and the best human forces need to walk on thin ice to enter, the rainforest is also a mortal area for human transcendents.

First of all, there are a large number of insect beasts in the rainforest, in the empire, difficult insect beasts are relatively rare, and it is difficult to have a chance to reproduce a large population, but in the rainforest there are many large insect populations, and the area where they live is a dead place for humans.

Secondly, there are many spirit plants in the rainforest that are self-aware and will actively attack animals that come close, and the poor soil makes them need to hunt some flesh and blood to feed themselves.

Inexperienced people enter the rainforest to die, and Jacques guesses that the two pirates are familiar with the nearby seas and know that they will get here all the way west, but they don't say it.

Perhaps their original plan was to wait for the ship to hit the reef and then take advantage of the chaos to escape, but they discovered the crisis in time and did not let the ship run aground. Fearing that they would be forced into the rainforest the next day, they ventured out that night.

Even small people can't be underestimated, Jacques warned himself, eat a trench and grow wise.

Back on deck, Jacques took some more time to determine his current position with a sextant, and in front of him was indeed the rainforest, the natural dividing line that separates the central and southern parts of the New World.

They are located on the northerly side, less than thirty miles north to the edge of the rainforest, and the nearest town is just over fifty miles.

The nearest town to the south is more than 100 miles away, and at least 100 miles through the rainforest.

If you are traveling along the coast, it will only take about half a day to get to the nearest port in the south, but unfortunately no one can drive the boat now.

Jacques judged that Hairy Feet and Bald Man must have jumped into the sea and swam north, and if the two of them didn't stop, they would have been able to land outside the rainforest area at about this time, but the two of them still had a heavy cash box, what would they do?

The problem that bothered Jacques was actually not a problem for hairy feet and bald people.

Unbeknownst to Jacques, a chest containing nearly 5,000 silver coins was lying at the bottom of the sea a few hundred meters away from him, and the two pirates had their own way of hiding the treasure of their memories.

Throwing away the fetters of the cash box, they had already swam far away, bypassing the rainforest area and landing. The next step for the two of them is to quickly find the mirror group's local eyeliner and report the news to Skull Island, and naturally someone will go south to intercept the dog man and woman.

If they are caught, the hairy feet and the bald man will also be considered a meritorious achievement, and the deputy head of the regiment, Crocodile Mel, will definitely be rewarded.

As for the box of silver coins, Mao Foot saw it very thoroughly, and now carrying so much money is to invite trouble for himself.

After a year or two of the limelight has passed, the two of them will find an opportunity to break away from the mirror group, get out the silver coins, go to the empire to buy land and marry a daughter-in-law, and live a good life!

Jacques holds the map and explains the pros and cons to the captain, expecting Captain Lily's decision.

Captain Lily tipped her hair up with her three-cornered hat and looked down at the map, her hat tilted to one side.

The captain put down the fat orange in his arms, straightened his tricorne hat, flashed his big eyes, and said, "You say, you smart guy, you have already calculated it!"

Jacques was helpless, you were the captain, and said, "Well, since the captain is in business, let's abandon the ship." ”

"Oh, abandon ship, I'm still your master if I'm not the captain. ”

Can't fight, can't fight!

"If those two pirates make it to the town of Quindo in the north, the Mirror Regiment will know about our landing, and will send a ship to the town of Cousteau, a port south of the rainforest, to intercept us. They calculated that we would not dare to enter the rainforest. Jacques analyzed.

"Then we'll go the other way and walk the rainforest!" Captain Lily decided!

Jacques hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't, it's too risky to walk through the rainforest!"

Finding that Lily, who was usually shrewd and capable, was obviously unreliable in the past two days, Jacques could only quickly state his plan: "Let's go to the town of Kundo! ”

Lily took off her tricorne hat and draped down her long golden hair like a cascade, and said, "It's only a little more than ten nautical miles away, so don't you need to save water?

Jacques knew that Lily had been fighting for the buckets of water on the boat for the past two days, and if he hadn't stopped it repeatedly, Lily would have washed up a good time.

Woman......

......

The little girl Kay stood on the side of the road, behind her was a field of sugar cane, the sugar cane in the field had grown to more than two meters high, and the sugar cane field on the other side of the road had been harvested yesterday and was neatly stacked on the side of the road, waiting to be transported.

Kay knew that the slender sugar cane would be sent to Lord Sephran's factory in the town of Kundo, where it would be turned into snow-like frosting and ice-like sugar cubes, loaded onto ships and sent to the Empire, to be exchanged for lots and lots of silver coins.

Born and raised in the town of Kundo, Kay had never left the town, nor had she seen what snow and ice were known to look like, but she had seen silver coins, and she needed them.

If it weren't for five silver coins to hire someone to harvest the sugar cane field behind her, the sugar in the sugar cane would be reduced after a while, and the lord's factory would not want this kind of sugar cane.

If the sugar cane can't be sold, it can't pay the lord's rent. Even if she used her father's hard-earned cottage as rent, how would she survive after losing everything?

If she could sell the sugar cane and the cottage for the season, she would at least have a fortune to choose her future life, either by sailing back to her father's hometown, the legendary wealthy country of Stuart, or by trying her luck at TavarΓ© and working in a factory.

If his father was still alive, if he hadn't gone out ten days ago, Kay wouldn't have to worry about the five silver coins.

But there are no ifs in life, and now Kay is the only one in the family.

She asked all the neighbors for help, but they couldn't help, five silver coins was not a lot, they could borrow a little girl and wait for her to sell the sugar cane and return it, but someone wouldn't let them borrow it.

The injured animal staggered forward, and the vulture in the sky circled for it to collapse, and then feasted.

The two teenagers came from afar, passing by Kayi, who was standing on the side of the road in a daze, and one of the short teenagers was holding a fat orange-white cat.

The short boy observed Kay as he walked, and when he staggered over and walked more than ten meters, he stopped, turned around and walked to Kayi's side, and said, "Little sister, we are passing by, do you have anything to eat at home?" ”
