Happy New Year, the old paste to the brothers and sisters New Year's greetings, I wish everyone all the best in the New Year, a lot of money, a successful career, academic progress, no object, hurry up to find a pot friend, there is, hehe, work hard to create the next generation or something.
Through Long Mu's description, everyone finally had a deeper understanding of the snake people, and they also had a little understanding of their behavior of setting all kinds of strange rules at the most convenient ferry crossing the Qiongnu River.
For more than 100 years, although the snake people have been trying to integrate into the more civilized human society of the time, they are obviously also bullied and afraid by foreigners, so they are more domineering and barbaric, and less polite and friendly.
It is said that this time he went to Miaojiang to seek the Nine Heavens Youlan, but it was one of the few cases when Zhifeng did not make sufficient arrangements, and his eyes were black, and he came to other people's territory to make trouble. Whether it is the previous nineteen kills of thousands of people, or the earth-shattering gamble of destroying Zhang Ji Huihui Store and Yue Ji Qisheng Store, or even fooling the wealthy and wealthy families of Chengzu County to donate money for disaster relief, and arranging for Duan Zichen to choose the Holy Sect Spirit Girl... There are all kinds of things, whether they have enough time to do a good job of buckle, or they take advantage of the situation urgently, most of them have some confidence in their hearts, and they have made a lot of calculations and deployments. And now this time, even most of the customs and customs of the snake people have not been understood, so they came to snatch the other party's holy relics, this is really the eldest girl who got married, and went to the sedan chair for the first time.
Now the situation at the ferry was described vividly by Long Mu, and occasionally he sighed and exaggerated a few times, as if he was afraid that the atmosphere was not oppressive enough, so that everyone felt bitter in their hearts.
Although it was very difficult for Long Mu to say in his words, there were a few points, but Zhifeng was keenly extracted from the narrative inside and outside his words, and gradually began to form a breakthrough in his heart to seek the Nine Heavens Youlan Operation.
Zhifeng lowered his eyebrows and meditated, "Miao Nian, the iron cable crosses the river, take profit, take force... These factors seem to be exploited, but how do we get started? ”
After groaning for a long time, Zhifeng gritted his teeth, waved his hand and signaled everyone to move forward and go to 'Zhaoyoudu'.
At this time, although the young master only had vague thoughts in his heart, he seemed to know a truth in his heart, if he didn't try to take a step forward, then the idea would always be just a guess, and he couldn't get half of the confirmation, which is what the great men of later generations said, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.
As the saying goes, it's a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk, it's a blessing or a curse, you have to try it!
Wangshan ran a dead horse, and after more than two hours, everyone finished the twenty or thirty miles of mountain road, and when they came to the mouth of the Qiongnu River's 'Zhaoyoudu', these men were already tired and sweating and panting.
On the water near the wharf, there are three or two ferries of different sizes floating at this time, and there is also a boat carrying merchant goods not far away, which has reached the center of the river, obviously transporting people and goods across the river.
Although it was nearly dusk and the sun was setting in the west, there were still two caravans and dozens of individual passengers noisily queuing up for the ferry to cross the river.
Zhifeng and the others rode their horses to the front, and did not rush up to ask or queue up, but stopped more than ten steps away from the queue waiting to cross the river from the dock, and silently observed the situation on the 'Zhaoyoudu' dock.
With an expressionless face and seemingly careless, Zhifeng quickly examined the situation at the dock, and a thousand thoughts quickly turned in his heart.
Zhifeng first saw that the surface of the Qiongnu River here is not very wide, and the width is about two or three miles wide, which is indeed not a great existence for the Yangtze River, which is now more than ten or even dozens of miles wide.
It's just that Zhifeng stared at the ship in Jiangxin that was gradually moving away, his eyes became cold, and his eyebrows were even more condensed, that ship turned out to be a sailboat, a brig!
Through this life, Zhifeng has already understood that if you talk about culture, science and technology, economic production, the five kingdoms in the world are about the level of the Sui and Tang dynasties, to say that according to the records of later generations, the Tang Dynasty already had two-masted or even multi-masted sailing ships, but there has been no very clear model atlas circulation, not to mention the more famous war examples and commercial activities about the development and changes of sailing ships in this period.
Young Master Zhi clearly remembered that in the strange and all-encompassing training materials of the Ancient Martial Annihilation Clan's previous life, there were many descriptions of the brig. Among them, the brigs, most of which are hung with sails, are generally medium-sized ships with large loads, and the design and construction process of ships is by no means simple. Smaller, more agile and agile schooners generally had at least one mast with a spinnaker and a vertical sail, but it was not until hundreds of years later that they began to appear in Europe and the United States.
So why did the 100,000 in Zhigongzi's mind come again, in Nanmu Country, which is not near the sea and whose production technology level is slightly inferior to the other four countries, and it is also a Miao Jiang snake people settlement that has only been civilized for more than 100 years, how can there be a brig that can be regarded as the top modern and even patent buyout in the world? What's more, it was put at random to be used as a ferry!
For example, in the later days when the BP machine digital Han Xian was very popular in the 90s, you suddenly saw a big brother with a brick-sized big brother, you will definitely feel very fresh, and when you find out that this big brother is just used as a street fixed line to answer the phone, you are speechless or at most secretly scolded a fart, can you not be surprised, that is called a violent heavenly thing!
This is when Zhifeng found out that there was a brig sailing ship that was used as a ferry to carry people and goods, and a strange and frightened thought suddenly rose in his heart.
I really didn't have time to think about these weirdness, Young Master Zhi took a closer look at the two caravans and a group of individual tourists waiting to cross the river, looking at it, Zhi Feng sighed in his heart for no reason, and a feeling of extreme unstability gradually crept into his heart, and as time went by, Young Master Zhi even had a panic of danger.
The problem was a caravan and that group of individual passengers, Zhifeng observed again and again, and finally he saw the clues.
The most striking thing is the costumes. Zhifeng has been coming to Nanmu for some time, and along the way, he has been more or less stuffed into some of the habits and customs of the Miao Jiang snake people, including dressing up.
Young Master Zhi found that among the individual guests, there were two groups of guests who were obviously dressed differently from the local residents, each group looked like ten or eight, each of them wearing swords, and they looked fierce. And what puzzled Zhifeng the most was that the clothes of these two groups were also very different, obviously they were not from the same region, or even merchants from the same country.
As for the two caravans, one of them was obviously a regular customer who often did business with the snake people, and when they saw the two sides talking happily and laughing, after a short time the snake people had finished their symbolic inspection, they waved to the ferry to come ashore and arranged for the caravan to cross the river.
And the second caravan can attract Zhifeng's attention, but it is not their appearance and clothing, but those goods!
Zhifeng and the others were not too far away, and they could see clearly that the so-called goods that were packed in various fabric bags were not necessities of life such as salt, iron, grain and grass, but living creatures, and according to the size of the traits they reflected, there seemed to be people one by one!
Nima, the ancient version of human traffickers, or slave trafficking?
If it's really a living person... Zhifeng was so shocked that he didn't want it.
It's just that the development of the situation didn't give Young Master Zhi time to think about it, and suddenly the changes started again, and the danger arose.
Knowing that the young master was holding his breath, he was about to call everyone to discuss the follow-up arrangements and means of crossing the river, only to hear a miserable scream, a child-like little girl, who was thrown out of those individual customer groups, and flew straight into the river five or six zhang away.
With the little girl's heart-rending scream, everyone saw her tender limbs dancing and grasping weakly in the air, but the whole body did not resist at all, and fell into the river without hesitation.
I, the grass, including Zhifeng, all the merchants and travelers were dumbfounded, what is the situation! In broad daylight, Nima actually killed innocents indiscriminately... Well, even if you have a grudge against other little girls, don't take it to work hard in front of the public in public, is this to challenge our sense of justice and compassion that is broad and wide-ranging!
How do you know that Feng and the others are far away from the dock and port, even if they want to help, they can't reach it, let alone want to save people, they have to react as soon as possible, and they can't hesitate.
Everyone only said that the little girl seemed to be in a catastrophe this time, and she was destined to die tragically today, but when she saw that it was too late, a white shadow swept up from the other direction of the scattered guest group, like a white Lian flying in the air, like three thousand white-haired Ling Yu in the world.
This white shadow is a person who jumped out of the air to rescue the little girl, the speed is like lightning like a flying crossbow, in the blink of an eye, he has caught up with the child, stretched out his hand, grabbed the little girl's forearm, and threw it to the shore in the wave, and it happened to fly towards Zhifeng and others.
It's just that the person who rescued people fell sharply, and saw the dangerous waves and turbulent water under him, but he had nowhere to escape by himself. Just when everyone felt sorry for him, they only heard the man shout, like thunder roaring in the sky, volleying out a Fang Tian painting halberd from the armpit of his side, and it had fallen under his feet with a slight push, and at the last moment of lightning, the man kicked the silver halberd, and actually bounced back to the shore of the dock with the power of a kick, and the halberd was like a silver cannonball out of the chamber, which was ten times faster than the one that had just fallen, and fell into the river with a roar, and disappeared!
It's time for my little brother to appear, but I really don't have the strength to write anymore, so if I have time during the day tomorrow, let's continue writing...... Let's give us some encouragement!
