Chapter 1236 There is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes
Everyone was already curious about the events of the past two days and two nights, and they had long been holding back to ask. Hearing this, I was even more anxious to know. Lin Jue drank all the beef porridge and told him what had happened in the cave in the past few days. Of course, the key part must be concealed, otherwise in the face of Gao Muqing's inquiring and suspicious gaze, I am afraid that Gao Muqing will lose his temper if he talks about those details.
"Lord Lin is really smart, he knows how to make a fire and smoke to save himself. We saw the smoke coming out of it and we rushed here. We didn't stop looking for two days and two nights, but we just couldn't find it. Both girls cried several times. Sun Dayong said.
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing and Bai Bing gratefully and said, "What, do you think I'm dead?" ”
Gao Muqing said: "I don't see it everywhere, of course I think something happened to me." Who would have thought that you would eat snake soup in the cave and roast the fire, and live so nourishingly. We all came out at night to look for it, and Bing'er and I almost fell off the cliff. We have all thought about it, we must see people in life, we must see corpses in death, and if the husband and the king have an accident, we will not live. ”
Lin Jue was both moved and guilty in his heart, although he was not as moist as eating snake meat and roasting it on the fire as she said, he did do something that was sorry for them. They were frightened.
"I'm sorry that you've suffered. I shouldn't have taken the risk, and I shouldn't have to worry about it in the future. Lin Jue said with a smile.
Bai Bing hurriedly said: "Isn't everything okay now?" I knew it was going to be fine. ”
Lin Jue looked at Bai Bing's charming smile and said, "Why didn't you see the smoke the day before?" I was in the cave for another day. ”
"Yesterday it was windy, and even the smoke came out of the smoke. Today, when the snow fell, the wind was lighter, and the black smoke was billowing out, we people standing on the cliff saw it at once. That's why I found this place. Sun Dayong explained.
Lin Jue suddenly realized, and then he understood that this was the reason. A thought arose in Lin Jue's heart, if he had been saved the night before, there would have been no last night. Is that a good thing, or a pity?
Early the next morning, Lin Jue, who had been discussing with everyone that he should board the ship and leave here, changed his mind. I came here to look for the supplies left by the bandits but found nothing, if I returned to the mountain with those two ships of stinky seafood, Lin Jue was really unwilling. Lin Jue felt that it was impossible for those materials to be transferred, and there was a great possibility that they were on this island. There are so many caves on the island, it is very likely that they are hidden in one cave. If you just leave, you don't do your best. Since you are here, you must try your best to find it.
Everyone saw that Lin Jue did not give up, but it was inconvenient to pour cold water. In fact, many people think that the materials that Lord Lin said are long gone. It has been so long since the Qingjiao Rebellion, the bandits on the island must have divided these materials and transported them away, how could they still stay here. However, what Lord Lin said also has some truth, those are military supplies, and they cannot be easily revealed. Selling is also about finding the right buyer. As a bandit and a bandit of the Youth Sect, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell these materials into silver in a short period of time. If you are really still on this island, you are really unwilling to go back like this, wouldn't it be to enter Baoshan and return empty-handed, and you will regret dying afterwards.
So, Lin Jue made the island into a sand table shape and divided it into five parts. Searches are carried out on a part of the island in a carpet search manner every day for a period of five days. Whether it is dense forests, mountain streams, cliffs and caves, they are all searched. All the shipwrights and escorts were organized into the search team, forming more than a dozen squads to conduct a carpet search. If you can't find it again, then there will be no regrets.
One day passed, two days passed, three days passed. Four days of searching, nothing came of it. Four-fifths of the island has been searched, and all that remains is the dense forest area in the north of the island, and nothing has been found.
In fact, there is not much hope in the dense forest area of the wharf in the north of the island, where the terrain is flat and there are no caves and cliffs. The storehouse compound in the forest has long been dilapidated and empty. So, most people think that in fact they can get nothing at all.
Lin Jue was also disappointed, in the past few days, between the caves and rocks on the island, he searched all the places where he could hide things. It's almost impossible to miss anything. There should be little hope left for the rest of this dense forest area. However, since it is the last day, I just insist on finishing the search and leave no regrets.
Early in the morning of the fifth day, the weather was fine. Although the weather was still unbearably cold, at least the sky was clear, there was only a breeze and waves on the sea, and a red sun was also vigorous, and it was extremely gorgeous. This kind of weather was the most suitable day to leave the island, but Lin Jue still ordered everyone to conduct a search in the northern area of the island.
The snow was knee-deep in the dense forest several miles wide, and everyone searched through the woods from east to west, and after a few rounds, they were already disappointed. There were no new houses in the forest except for the trees and snow. Even if there is a cave entrance on the ground, it is simply impossible to find it under a thick snow cover. In fact, this is already useless work.
In the afternoon, a team composed of Lin Jue and Bai Bing Gao Muqing crossed the woodland from the west of the island to the east of the island. Lin Jue had actually decided that there was no gain from this trip, so he got on the boat and left immediately after holding on to the sunny day, and he didn't have to spend any effort on this matter.
However, that's often the way things happen in the world, and you never know what miracles are going to happen until the last minute.
Just as Lin Jue and the others walked into a spruce forest on the east side of the forest, Lin Jue suddenly had serious doubts about the bunch of hill-like things in the forest.
The whole forest area is flat, why in this forest, white snow covers a small hill with a radius of more than 20 zhang. There are trees all around, but there are no trees near the left side of the hill, and there are no trees above the hill. It's weird.
Lin Jue voiced his doubts, and Gao Muqing and Bai Bing also felt strange, but none of them thought that this strange mountain bag would be a major discovery. Because it is impossible for those supplies to be piled up in the open in this wood, it is too hasty.
But just as the trio worked together to clear a small patch of snow from a mountain bag, they discovered the clue. Beneath the thick snow was not earth and rocks, but withered yellow hay and branches. Bundles are woven together, like straw curtains and tree curtains specially designed to cover things. Gao Muqing and Bai Bing used their blades to cut through several layers of this tight covering, and then they made a major discovery. Beneath the curtain is brown felt skin, which is used as a rain and water covering.
This discovery made Lin Jue and the three of them hug and cheer. Needless to say, there must be something strange under this felt cloth. Wrapped so tightly, it must be something extraordinary.
Everyone was summoned and everyone was amazed. Everyone started to do it, shoveling the snow and removing all the trees and grass curtains, and then an oval-shaped pile covered with felt cloth appeared in front of everyone. Under Lin Jue's excited gaze, after the three layers of felt carpets were uncovered one by one, everyone looked at everything in front of them in amazement.
Bundles of light armor were neatly stacked inside large wooden boxes, the armor was obviously new, and the armor pieces on it were black and shiny. There are hundreds of large wooden boxes stacked around. When one of the boxes was opened, there were more than a dozen Liao people's standard scimitars lying in the grass. The greased scimitar is shiny and shiny, with a sharp blade that is undamaged and completely new. Then, in other boxes, longbows, bundles of arrows, dozens of maces, and a batch of saddle stirrups were found.
After an hour's count, there were 3,600 sets of armor and 1,200 scimitars in this pile of supplies. There were 400 longbows and countless arrows. There are also some other weapons, including some tents, saddles, horseshoes, etc.
Everyone was surprised and couldn't close their mouths, who would have thought that the bandits would casually pile up such precious materials in the open woods, it was unbelievable.
Lin Jue pondered and gave a guess. In the later stage of quelling the rebellion of the bandits, in fact, Hai Dongqing had already ordered a large number of armor and weapons materials to be transported from Snake Island to Jingxi Road. But he didn't even have time to transport it all out before he was defeated by Lin Jue in one fell swoop in Xingren Mansion. The place where these materials were stacked was in a dry spruce forest on slightly higher ground, which must have been carried from a warehouse deep in the woods, in order to facilitate the transportation to the docks and load them on ships to the inland armed bandits, but unfortunately they did not have time.
Lin Jue asserted that there must be a path leading from this forest to the dock.
Sun Dayong's investigation verified Lin Jue's words, and everyone found that the surrounding trees had traces of being cut down, and there was a faint forest passage cut down by a few feet wide. It's just covered with snow, and if you don't make it carefully, it's really hard to identify. And on the path, there were actually a few scattered wooden wheeled cars. Before, everyone thought it was just a pile of rotten wood.
As the saying goes, 'there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it', who would have thought that this batch of materials that had been looking for it would be stacked here in the open air so magnificently.
After this batch of materials was found, Lin Jue was relieved. So many armaments and materials can greatly alleviate the urgent need for the shortage of armor and weapons of the Luoyan Army. At the very least, thousands of Luoyan troops can be better armed, which will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Luoyan Army. Although this trip is dangerous and arduous, it is worth it.
At that moment, Lin Jue immediately ordered Sun Dayong to take the boatmen to sail the ship from the cliff on the east side of the island to the dock in the north. The rest of the people began to build easy cars. After the horses arrived, more than a dozen sleds were piled up with supplies and carried to the docks for loading. The stinky fish and rotten shrimp on the boat naturally had to make room, and they were discarded a lot by Lin Jue. It's a bit of a waste, but it's something we have to do. The supplies were placed underneath, all covered with dry cargo, disguised as a cargo ship trafficking dry cargo. I was busy until the second watch, and everything was in order.
They did not go to the island anymore, but rested on the boat for the night. The next morning, the weather was still good. Lin Jue ordered to leave immediately. The two large ships slowly sailed away from the dock, raised their sails, and headed south with the help of the slight north wind.
Lin Jue stood at the stern of the boat, watching the snake island get smaller and smaller until it became a small black spot, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He reached into his arms and touched the silver kettle with intricate patterns, and the beautiful face of Wan Yan Mingyue appeared in his heart. Although the woman had only spent a few days with herself in the cave, it was clear that she had left a mark on her heart. I'm afraid I won't be able to forget her.
