Americas.

The April expedition ushered in a torrential rain, which was so heavy that it made people wonder if the sky was leaking.

Bad weather can only put all exploration activities on hold.

But whether some people who go out can save their lives in such weather is something that Stony Brook is very worried about.

Upstream of the creek, the fifteen-member search party where the river was located, was lucky enough to find a fairly spacious cave before the heavy rain arrived.

The heavy rain began to fall at 10 noon, and by 10 o'clock at dusk there was no sign of stopping.

It's wet everywhere, and it's impossible to make a fire to warm yourself up in such a situation.

The team members could only catch the rain with wide leaves and eat dry food that was difficult to swallow.

As of today, they have been out of the camp for seven days, and this is some distance from the camp.

But they still didn't see a single figure.

If it weren't for this heavy rain, maybe they would have been on their way back today.

Now I can only huddle in a damp cave in such a miserable way.

At night, the rain gradually decreases.

At midnight, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a little starlight appeared in the bright night sky.

The rain stopped, and the insects in the forest quietly sounded.

The nocturnal animals are also alive again after the heavy rains, and the rainforest exudes life in the dark night.

Jiang Liu, who was on duty at night, leaned against the entrance of the cave with his waist knife, yawning and looking at the dark jungle in front of him.

"It's April now, and it's time for the family to start farming."

It was a faint voice coming from behind him.

Jiang Liu looked back and saw that it was his comrade-in-arms on the same team.

"It's April!"

Jiang Liu muttered.

"Yes, it's April, I don't know if the court has given my family a cow, I agreed to go to sea, but the court agreed to me."

The young warrior said worriedly.

Jiang Liu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, people often say that the king loves the people, and what he promised will definitely be done, maybe my aunt has finished plowing the land now and started planting crops, and when the time comes, when we go back, see which one dares to look down on us." ”

The young warrior nodded and said: "If I can go back alive, Lao Tzu will marry a few mothers-in-law, and let Lao Tzu's children go to school, and it is best to go to the Academy of Sciences in Chang'an in the future, so that I can see my ancestors even if Wu dies." ”

"Hey! Academy of Sciences, can it be a place where ordinary people can go, those people are human spirits, look at the big boat used by our HNA, it was made by those guys, damn, such a big guy, I still don't know how they float on the water, why do you say their heads are so good. ”

"Hehe, you don't understand, the place in Qinzhou is too poor, let me tell you, this academy is really a place where anyone can go, the imperial court now only provides three years of study for free, if you want to learn more, you can only be willing to spend money, as long as Lao Tzu's cub works hard, we may be the old man of the big official in the future, if we go out, we don't look at it highly."

The young warrior looks proud of being born in a big place.

Jiang Liu didn't pay much attention to these things, and at this time, he had nothing to do, so he started chatting.

"Can anyone? In my hometown, it is said that those big officials are the incarnations of heavenly gods in the world, and they are all destined. ”

When the young warrior heard this, he glanced at Jiang Liu with disdain, and said, "What kind of crooked reasoning are you, the king doesn't dare to say that he is the embodiment of the gods, how can those officials be."

I don't know anywhere else, but when we were in the thirteenth year of our town, there was a person who passed the imperial examination, and it is said that they are now in the south of the town.

I've seen that man, and if he were a god, I'd take my head off.

”

Just as Jiang Liu was about to say something, suddenly there was a rustling sound in the silent forest.

"Shh

Jiang Liu suddenly became agitated, quickly turned over and sat up, and pulled out the knife with a quick movement.

"What's wrong?"

The young warrior asked, puzzled.

"Shhhh If there is a situation, don't speak. ”

Jiang Liu lowered his voice.

Seeing Jiang Liu staring vigilantly at the dark jungle, he was also a little nervous.

Under the suspicion, he only felt that the dark forest had become shadowy, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

"You're staring here, I'll call the platoon commander!"

As he spoke, the river quietly retreated.

The platoon commander was woken up by Jiang Liu, and after listening to Jiang Liu's report, he did not dare to be careless.

Hurriedly the others shouted.

But the strange noise never appeared again, as if it were all an auditory hallucination of the river.

"Did you hear me wrong?"

The platoon commander looked at the quiet night outside the cave and asked with a suspicious face.

Jiang Liu said seriously: "Platoon commander, my subordinates definitely heard it right, it was definitely the sound of people walking, and there was more than one." ”

The platoon commander pondered for a moment, looked out, and said, "Four people are on duty tonight, and we'll see the situation at dawn." ”

In the nervous mood of everyone, the sun finally shone through the jungle into the cave.

Early in the morning, the platoon commander took people to probe in the direction where the sound came from.

After searching for a while, sure enough, in a slightly hidden place, a series of slightly messy footprints were found.

"Damn, it seems that our goal has been found, brothers hurry up and eat, let's go see who is spying on us."

In the eyes of the Qi people, the combat effectiveness of the natives is extremely low, although there are only fifteen of them, and they have only worn light armor for hundreds of years, but they do not have much timidity.

If they were the first to discover what the imperial court was looking for, it would definitely be a great achievement.

Even if you report it in the future, these people are not the first to work, and the soup and water that are exposed are enough for you to live comfortably for a long time.

The team members hurriedly filled their stomachs and traced the footprints in the forest.

Due to the rain that had just fallen, the footprints on the ground were exceptionally clear.

This made it much easier for Jiang Liu and the others to track.

It was only after hours of tracking that the footprints suddenly disappeared.

Such a strange situation made the platoon commander faintly feel that something was wrong.

"Be careful, don't..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stunned in place.

I saw naked men with simple bows and arrows walking out of the surrounding jungle, looking at them with wooden sticks.

The platoon commander's heart throbbed, knowing that he had been ambushed.

"Defense!"

In today's situation, we can only form a formation to protect ourselves first, and whether to fight or flee can only depend on the next move of these naked southerners.

Both sides were looking at each other vigilantly, for these natives, it was the first time they had seen humans wearing strange furs, and the interesting behavior of Qi people also made these natives unable to understand what these strange people were going to do for a while.
