Fang Jifan seemed to see a group of newly weaned wolves, howling and exposing their baby teeth, and the edge began to appear.

That's what he wants.

Eight strands a day, cultivate endurance, and bring out the potential of people to the limit.

In the academy, living with the farmers, eating and drinking with them, is to let them experience hardships, not only to brush the questions, but also to empty the toilet by themselves, and to learn to communicate with people.

Occasionally, I would take them to ride and shoot, let them get on the flying ball, and have a glimpse of the great rivers and mountains, which was to cultivate their ambition and tell them that there are some things that they can't get on the desk, and what they can't get on the desk, they get from the horse.

They even have to farm the land, so that they know where the rice comes from, so as not to make jokes about why they don't eat minced meat.

These people in Xishan Academy are like spinning tops every day, and under this huge high pressure, their potential is brought into full play.

They have the roots of new learning, deeply agree with the theory of the unity of knowledge and action, use the eight strands of literature as their stepping stone, they can ride and shoot, can fencing, here in Xishan, they know where the ore is excavated, how to grow food in the ground, they have suffered hardships that others cannot endure, and they are persevering.

Fang Jifan was very satisfied with this kind of training.

On the same day, camping and barbecue, a group of bonfires were lit, the legs of the fat sheep were set on the bonfire, the oil that boiled out, popping and dripping into the bonfire, the students took daggers, cut off pieces of roasted golden meat from the leg of the lamb, and then, the apprentice grandson presented the most tender part to his teacher, and the junior brother offered the best part to the senior brother, and Ouyang Zhi, and then took the plate, and sent the essence of the leg of mutton to Fang Jifan.

"Teacher, eat."

Fang Jifan said: "Did you put thirteen incense?" ”

"Let it go."

"Is it spicy?"

"Yes."

Fang Jifan nodded, took a sip of tea first, looked at the bonfires outside, his heart was warm, his children and grandchildren were full, no, the world is full of peaches and plums, it is really a pleasant thing.

After eating a bite of mutton, I couldn't help shaking my head, and I learned to read like a scholar, and happily praised: "Husband! It's so tender, it's so much! ”

Ouyang Zhi stood aside, no matter what the teacher said, he was already used to it, just looking at the flames outside, in a daze.

Fang Jifan said: "You can eat it too." ”

"Oh, oh." Ouyang Zhi nodded after a moment, thought about it, but said, "The student serves the teacher first." ”

Fang Jifan feasted, this mutton is not as good as the wine and food cooked by Mr. Wen, this is a thing, the important thing is to eat an atmosphere.

Fang Jifan said: "Good boy, what are you thinking?" ”

“……”

Ouyang Zhi's face was expressionless, as if he was silent for a moment: "The students are thinking, how good it would be if Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Tang were here." ”

Fang Jifan said: "Which Senior Brother Xu?" ”

Ouyang Zhi said: "Senior Brother Xu Jing." ”

Fang Jifan threw down his chopsticks and sighed: "Xu Jing, this guy, he values him the most for the teacher, he has traveled far this time, and he doesn't know where he has been, and he is not thinking about him all the time." ”

"Hey......"

"It's been half a year since Xu Jing went to sea, right?" In Fang Jifan's eyes, the flames of the bonfire outside were reflected.

"Teacher, I have been out to sea for one hundred and fifty-two days." Ouyang Zhidao.

Fang Jifan said: "When I parted, it was like yesterday. Learn from him. ”

"Yes."

Fang Jifan picked up the thin meat on the leg of mutton and said with emotion: "I don't know if Father Heng has a good time at sea, whether he is hungry or not, this piece of mutton, I really hope to give it to him to eat, and eat it for him as a teacher." ”

The mutton is in the mouth, with a smooth taste, but the fishy smell is covered by thirteen incense, the slightly burnt skin on the surface is crisp, and the spicy taste stimulates the root of Fang Jifan's tongue, oops, it hurts and is happy, so refreshing.

……………………

With the experience of going to sea for the first time, the fleet quickly crossed the Western Ocean, and then arrived at Mukudushu.

When you get here, you have to master the currents, and then follow the currents and the wind of the sails, and you can get twice the result with half the effort.

This is also the reason why Xu Jing is looking for a route.

When they went all the way to the Mugu Dushu, they had already found the direction of the ocean current, so they started from the Mugu Dushu and went south along the coast of Kunlun Zhou.

But then, something terrible happened.

They suddenly discovered that this Kunlun Continent was a barren continent, and it could not supply 2,000 soldiers and civilians at all.

The number of people who came west because of the plague, who were attacked by poisonous snakes when they landed on the shore, or who died from undernutrition, reached three hundred.

That's a huge number.

When the sailors finally crossed the Indian Ocean and endured almost a month of wandering, they went crazy and cheered with tears in their eyes.

But then they were ordered to continue south.

All the way south, bypassing Kunlun Continent.

The supplies were already insufficient, so everyone had to cut back on food and clothing, and everyone could only receive a small bean sprout, half a tael of jerky, and three taels of dry food.

If this food were given to ordinary people on land, perhaps they would be able to hold on.

But people are on the ocean, people are lonely looking at the sea on all sides, and they need to constantly raise the sails and grasp the direction of the wind at any time.

In the fleet, emotions have begun to brew, they want to go home, they can't go on, and if they go on, they will be farther and farther away from their hometown, when will they ...... To be able to go home?

Go home.

When one person came up with this idea, almost all of them began to fall back to their hearts.

The whole fleet began to get ready to move.

Xu Jing held the lamp, and at the moment he was in the cabin, eating the same amount of dry food as everyone else.

He was hungry and thin, this dry food was difficult to swallow, harder than a stone, knocking teeth, but the fresh water on the boat was the most precious resource, and each person could only get a small cup, take this hard-won water, and eat dry food, which was a very luxurious thing, so Xu Jing stuffed the dry food into his cheeks and fought with this dry food with his teeth again and again.

Call......

Finally, he bit down the dry food, and the secreted spit was mixed with the dry food and swallowed it in his stomach, and then his throat was like a dangerous hurdle, and he swallowed the food desperately, and Xu Jingcai breathed a long sigh of relief.

He knew that his morale was on the verge of collapse, and as an ambassador, he had to share the weal and woe with his soldiers, otherwise, he was afraid that the entire fleet would collapse without needing to be tied to the bones.

The next day, the fleet found a tidal flat that could be landed, so the ship was parked in the open sea, and Xu Jing led everyone to go ashore to collect fresh water.

As soon as they saw that they were about to land, everyone on this ship instantly rushed to take the lead, but when they landed, in addition to the scorching sun, there was the yellow sand all over the ground, although it was not a desert, but the environment here was quite treacherous.

"Dig the ground and look for a clear spring." Xu Jing's complexion is bronze, and his skinny body can no longer support the Qinci Flying Fish Suit when he went to sea, so the washed white Flying Fish Suit is extraordinarily wide, and the imperial sword hanging from his waist is the only thing that reassures people is his eyes, these eyes, are very divine.

The soldiers searched for a place to set up camp, and the scouts began to search for possible people in the vicinity, foreseeing some unpredictable risks. Many more are desperately searching for water or trying to dig wells.

Xu Jing walked on the beach with his hands behind his back.

Yang Xiong caught up: "Ambassador, we ...... We ......"

Xu Jing looked sideways and looked at Yang Xiong: "What?" ”

Yang Xiong said: "We can't continue to go south, everyone says, bypassing this Kunlun Continent, even if we want to go back, it will be difficult to go back, when the time comes, I don't know how many tribulations we have experienced, Ambassador Xu, what we sailed today is longer than the original Three Treasure Eunuchs, the physical strength and energy of the soldiers have reached the limit, they ......"

Xu Jing stared at him: "What about you, Commander Yang, and most importantly, what do you think?" ”

Yang Xiong lowered his head, his face was ashamed, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Xu Jing's eyes suddenly turned red, and he pointed in the direction of the ocean: "At this point, we are so close to the end of the world, let's go back like this?" How many difficulties have we made along the way, and why, do we have to return in vain? How many people's expectations we have carried, of course, I cannot make you decide for you, and make you sacrifice for these thousands of expectations, but if you and I do not go south, bypass here, go to a wider ocean, and find that divine land, who can find it, don't you know that the Francois have been the first to find there? We've made it a head start, and we've come back this time without success, so next time, when will we have to wait before we can come again? ”

Xu Jing said viciously: "You and I are in the same boat, although we are not connected by blood, but there is no difference between us and brothers, these words, you mention them to me in private, and you can do it, and if you dare to declare half a sentence to the outside world, I will rule you by military law." ”

Yang Xiong hurriedly said: "Yes, I don't dare to be humble anymore." ”

Xu Jing didn't speak, and after a while, a scout came back, saying that there were no people nearby, only a tribe of native people, who were just drinking blood and hair, and they couldn't communicate with them.

A small tribe, but a hundred or so people, and it seems that there is no point in exchanging materials with them, Xu Jing nodded, and then ordered people to set up camp.

Even if they are accustomed to wandering on the sea, it is a luxury for them to be able to rest on land for a while.

At night, the water finally came out of the well, and Xu Jing was surrounded by all the guards, looking at the fresh water gushing out, and his heart was a little settled.

If that map is correct, in a few days, you will be able to reach the southernmost tip of Kunlun Continent, where ...... Franc called it only the Cape of Good Hope.

Xu Jing pursed his lips, he liked the name.
