Chapter 357: Strange Radish!
The cool cold wind blows on the blue sea, and everything looks so beautiful without human destruction.
By night, the landing crew had set up camp to rest, bonfires were lit on the beach, and sailors gathered around the fire eating freshly roasted venison and laughing loudly.
Song Shilang had dinner and discussed the problems found along the way with his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry.
The shipbuilding skills of the Qi State are equivalent to crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Even if a ship has been built to sail, there are still many disadvantages.
This voyage to the sea was almost wiped out by a rainstorm, and if they hadn't discovered the sheltered island in time, they might have been dead by now.
The officials listed all the problems they encountered, but for a while they couldn't think of any good solutions, so they could only wait to return to Chang'an, report these problems, and let the big guys above solve them.
Four or five people were busy until late at night, and Song Shilang rubbed his sour eyes.
After stepping out of the tent, the cool sea breeze sobered him up a lot.
The soldiers patrolling the camp lined up in a circle, and Song Shilang found a stone to sit down.
Looking up at the starry night sky, my finger is pointing at something in the air.
After a long time, Song Shilang seemed to have an understanding.
In the early morning, Shixi was not in a hurry to return to Qi State, thus ending this ocean-going expedition.
Instead, he led a team of men and horses and continued to move towards the inner area.
It's just that the place where the eye can see is a wild scene, and there is not the slightest sign of human activity.
Such a place meant the presence of fierce beasts, and Stony Brook shook the steel knife at his waist.
"Pass the order, let the brothers be careful, don't follow the way of the animals."
"My subordinates understand!"
The group went deep into the inner road for several miles, but still found no trace of human activity, so Shi Xi felt that if he continued to walk, he would not find anything.
But at this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound in the woods, and Stony Creek raised his eyebrows.
"Watch out!"
The soldiers raised their spears and stared warily in the direction from which the sound came.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, a fawn scurried out of the grass in panic, and then ran around the crowd without a trace.
Stony Brook laughed self-deprecatingly, but before he could put his smile away, a whistling sounded.
Stony Brook was shocked.
"Defense! Defense! ”
As the king of beasts, the tiger is an incomparably terrifying existence for humans.
A whistling voice made everyone's hearts rise to the throat.
A moment later, a huge tiger sprang out of the grass.
Instead of seeing the prey he was tracking, he saw a group of strange creatures looking at him like a fool.
In its eyes, these creatures are fools, and in this jungle, there is no other creature that is so calm in the face of itself.
The tiger forgot about the fawn and leaned over to look at the creatures it had never seen before.
It observes, using its rich hunting experience, to find prey from these creatures that can kill with a single blow.
Only this time it had made a mistake in its judgment, and the human behavior was completely different from what it had experienced before.
Hungry, it could no longer hold back its cravings for food.
With a roar, an orange figure rushed towards the human array star.
But fortunately, most of Stony Brook's subordinates are elite soldiers who have fought big battles and seen blood.
Although he was extremely nervous in the face of the formidable tiger, no one flinched.
At the moment when the tiger flew over, the spearmen in the front row had already adjusted their angles, and the sharp spears stabbed out diagonally, flashing in the cold light of the sun.
Tigers instinctively sense danger when it comes to sharp objects, but it's not easy to change direction while in the air.
The tiger instinctively stretched out its huge claws, wanting to slap the hedgehogs in front of him to death.
But the soldiers, with a roar of rage, "Kill!" ”
Seven or eight spears plunged straight into the tiger's body.
Even so, the enraged tiger, furious, roared angrily, and waved its claws to fight back.
But at this moment, a cold light flashed, and blood splattered.
Shi Xi looked at the roaring tiger lying in a pool of blood with an expressionless face, and said, "Don't break the fur." ”
Hunted a tiger, and it was such a big one, the soldiers were excited.
If it is hunted alone, the court must give it the title of warrior.
But even so, this experience was enough for them to brag about for a while.
The soldier killed the beast with a single sword, skinning it and peeling it off with neat hands and feet.
Shi Xi's crisp shot just now greatly boosted his morale, and he admired Shi Xi's bravery.
"Commander! There's a turnip here! ”
A soldier who was skinning a tiger said suddenly.
When Shi Xi heard this, he looked over and said, "I didn't expect to see such vegetables in such a wild place." ”
As he spoke, he pulled it out of the soil, but as soon as the radish was unearthed, he knew that he had made a mistake.
The radish does not have such dense tentacles, but the stem is so fat that it can be eaten.
But for the unknown, Stony Brook didn't dare to try it easily, thinking that it would be better to bring this thing back.
If you find a new vegetable, it's a credit, and even if you don't, it doesn't affect anything.
The man put it away and led the team back to the beach camp.
Song Shilang and the others, when they saw the beautiful tiger skin, were surprised: "I didn't expect that Commander Shi would come back with a good fur after taking a trip, and he was really a warrior."
”
"It's a little thing, it's not worth mentioning! That's right! Song Shilang can know this thing! ”
As he spoke, he took out the peculiar turnip.
"This is ... Turnip? ”
Song Shilang said with some uncertainty.
"I think it's also a radish, but I'm not sure!"
Stony Brook Road.
Song Shilang stroked his beard and said, "The imperial court is always looking for new crops!" It's so fat, maybe it's a credit to bring it back. ”
Shi Xi smiled: "I think the same way, this place doesn't even look like a human figure, but it's a rare treasure."
When we return, we should write to the court and send someone over to investigate.
”
"That's right!"
Song Shilang nodded in agreement.
"Commander Stone! It's been more than ten days since we went to sea! It's time to return. ”
Stony Brook nodded, "Rest here for two days, and then return!" ”
At this time, in Shen County, a city in the south of Qi State, Yang Zhi and his party went all the way south and finally arrived here.
As one of the larger cities in the south, Shen County has also found a lot in recent years, although the population is far less than Chang'an City, but there are many villages and towns, covering a vast area, and the fertile fields are connected together, and you can't see the edge at a glance, a scene of the land of fish and rice.
