The person who exclaimed was Fei Fei's little girl.

Because she was sitting in a position facing the shore, she could see the situation on the shore.

When Li Zhi and the others heard this, they stood up with their rice bowls and turned their heads to look.

Even Yu Le, who was at the helm at the bow while eating, couldn't help but be attracted to his attention.

I saw it on the shore, in a barren grassland.

Between the reeds and cattails, there was a plant that was very tall and had a floor.

From a distance, it looks like thatch or something.

But the obvious difference from thatch is that there are long spikes on the tip of the tip, and they fall heavily, like ears of rice.

The whole ear, red and yellow, is particularly conspicuous on the high pole head.

Su Wu, who was watching, couldn't help but say, "Could this be ...... Is it some kind of plant that grows grain? Look at the ears of grain, they look heavy. ”

Wei Huiyun nodded: "It's possible!"

And Yu Le, without saying a word, put the rice bowl in his hand on the table, and rushed to the bow of the boat in one step: "Go! Come to the shore! Come and help row!"

So Li Zhi and the others threw away the rice bowls in their hands, picked up the spare bamboo oars on the boat, and rowed to the shore together.

It's a pity that this section of the river is a bit narrow, so the current is fast, and the boat has floated out hundreds of meters away in just a few words.

It's about to cross the thing I just saw.

It is extremely inconvenient to reverse the boat and go down the river, and at that time it is against the current, and you have to hang the sail and turn around.

Yu Le: "Come on, let's work together, hey! hey!"

……

Tian Xiaxia: "Hurry, hurry! I'll go over later, and I won't be able to find it!"

……

Li Zhi: "It's too fast! It's too fast! The boat is about to crash into the shore!"

At this time, because of the force of Qi to the side, the hull of the ship has already sailed diagonally towards the shore, and the original speed of the current is added, so the speed is a little too fast......

Yu Le reacted and hurriedly said, "Row back!

It's a pity it's too late.

The voice fell.

With a "boom", the whole big ship, at a 45-degree angle, hit the shore diagonally.

Half of the bow of the boat, shoveled into the dirt.

Even the hull of the ship tilted with it.

The women were unsteady on their feet, and they staggered forward, almost falling to the ground.

This large ship loaded with five or six tons of cargo crashed into the shore at a speed of more than 10 kilometers per hour, not to mention how fierce this momentum was.

This strength, that's measured in tons, if a person hits him like this, he can directly knock a small life away.

Ordinary people may not be able to imagine this force, but some sailors who have sailed ships of a certain tonnage will know this very well.

Generally, if the ship wants to dock, at a distance more than a certain distance from the dock, it will have to slow down early, either stop the power, or even reverse the propeller, and force in the opposite direction to brake the boat.

The greater the tonnage of the ship, the greater the inertial force.

In a stationary state, it is difficult to drive.

But in a state of high-level sailing, it is not easy to stop.

If a large tonnage ship hits the shore at such a speed, it will basically have to be scrapped and returned to the factory.

After such a collision, Yu Le himself didn't stand firm, and was almost thrown into the water.

With a black line on his face, he turned his head and looked at the women, and when he saw that they were all right, he went to check the situation of the collision with the bow of the ship.

I don't know if there is any damage to such a bump.

"How's it going?" Li Zhi took off his glasses, picked them up and put them back on, and then asked Yu Le.

Yu Le smiled: "It's not a big deal, the guy we made, it must be strong and durable! That is, there is a bamboo head, as if it was knocked on a stone and cracked...... Forget it, no matter him, just open it. ”

The next attention is naturally to focus on the things on the shore.

In order to see it, the ship was wrecked, and the price is not small!

Those tall plants must have some kind of food to eat, and if it is just a clump of weeds, it will be a big loss!

The bamboo boat was rowed into the shore from a distance of one or two hundred meters, and it was already a kilometer away from the position where it was first discovered.

Fortunately, there are many of these plants growing in this wasteland, and they are not unique to the location you just saw. So I can't turn around and go back.

Whether it's grain or barnyard grass, go up and see it!

At this time, a woman who knew her had already exclaimed: "I know, it's sorghum! That's wild sorghum!"

Yes, the sorghum that grows on the shore in the reed fields, one stubble in the east and one stubble in the west, is indeed sorghum.

It was too far from the shore just now, and it was not easy to recognize the boat.

At this time, the boat was stopped, and the woman with vision recognized it at a glance.

In fact, Yu Le and the others just didn't dare to admit it just now, after all, there are all kinds of plants in the wilderness, who dares to conclude at a glance that it is a sorghum stalk?

Of course, most of these people are not farmers, and none of them have planted sorghum before, that is, they have occasionally seen it in the fields. So they can't be expected to react all at once.

If a farmer who has planted this kind of crop sees such a stalk and such an ear of grain, let alone 200 meters away, and another 200 meters, they will be able to tell you what is on the shore.

Straightened the ship and lowered the anchor.

Yu Le left the women on the boat, took Li Zhi, drove a wolf dog, and went ashore.

These wild sorghums, because they grow naturally, are not sown artificially, so they grow very unruly, one stubble in the east and one stubble in the west, where they want to grow, scattered, separated in the barren grassland.

The two of them got into the grass, found the nearest sorghum bush, and walked up.

This sorghum has the word 'high' in its name, which is really tall enough.

Yu Le is more than 1.8 meters tall, but he can't reach it, and he needs to cut down the stalks with a knife.

Cut down two plants, selected the ears of grain, and studied them with Li Zhi one by one.

Looking at the heavy, seed-bearing, and full-grained ears in his hand, Yu Le finally smiled with satisfaction.

After looking for more than half a month, the most important thing on this trip was finally found here.

These days, in order to find this kind of food that can be used as a staple food, the group has spent a lot of effort, I don't know how many times they have stopped at the shore, how many roads they have walked, and how many mountains they have entered.

The results were all in vain, and what could be found in the end was only one or two hundred catties of yellow rice.

And this wasteland full of wild sorghum in front of you, as far as the eye can see, there is no end at all, not to mention raising more than a dozen people in Yule, raising more than a dozen thousand people, that's not a problem!

Li Zhi peeled a grain of rice, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and couldn't stop praising it: "Good thing! Definitely a good thing! And we have also caught up with the time, just in time to harvest!"

Yu Le nodded and said: "Let's go, go back first, plan with them, see how to harvest, since the amount is enough, let's collect one or two tons to go back, this winter, everyone let go of their stomachs to eat!"

"To be honest, after cutting off rice and eating meat for more than a month, I really don't get used to it at all. ”
