Chapter 249: Incredible
Yang Congyi and Tang Xun walked along the coast for a long time, and they never saw people until it was dark.
It was not easy to continue walking after dark, so I rested on the shore for the night and continued my journey south tomorrow.
Yang Congyi didn't know where this place was, and how long it would take to get there, but no matter how long they had to walk, they had to go on, otherwise it would be a question of whether they could survive in this deserted place, let alone return to the Great Song Dynasty. To the south, close to the two large countries of Sriwijaya and Chenla, it should be more prosperous and easier to find a way to get to Champa or Sriwijaya.
At night when he took turns to rest on duty, Yang Congyi had another good dream after falling asleep.
After waking up, he told Tang Xun: "Siniang, I just had a dream that we found a big ship, and there was everything on board except people. ”
Tang Xun smiled: "Why haven't I ever had such a good dream." Dreams are beautiful, and you still have to continue walking when the morning dawns. ”
Yang Congyi sneered: "Yes, I am thinking about it day and night, if only we had a ship, we would definitely be able to go back to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Tang Xun said: "You can go back no matter what, don't think about it, let's go." When she thought of the beautiful life in the future, she was immediately filled with infinite energy.
Yang Congyi smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
Lifting things, while the sun had not yet risen, the two continued their journey, heading south along the coast.
The coast is cut off from time to time by the rivers that enter the sea, although the rivers are not deep or wide, they can pass by flowing water, but also bring them a lot of inconvenience to the south, half a day, cross no less than dozens of rivers, the distance is estimated to be no more than 20 miles, with such a distance, to the south coast, I don't know how long it will take.
After walking for another distance, Yang Congyi saw a river estuary again, and at first glance he felt very familiar, as if he had been here before, so he said: "Siniang, I seem to have been to the river in front." ”
Tang Xun said: "When has Yang Lang been here?" Why haven't I heard you say that? ”
Yang Congyi thought about it seriously and replied: "I haven't been here, but I always feel familiar." "Naturally, he has never been to this place, he has never been abroad in later generations, and it is impossible to go abroad when he comes to the Song Dynasty, it can only be a fantasy.
Both of them knew that it was impossible for Yang Congyi to come, so they didn't say anything anymore and prepared to pass by.
As before, Yang Congyi explored the way in front, cautiously walked into the river, and stabbed three feet in front of him with a stick, only to feel a light in his hand, and the wooden stick sank straight down, so frightened that he quickly stopped and retreated.
There is too much sediment at the mouth of the sea, and I don't know where the hard sand bed is and where the sparse silt is.
When Yang Congyi pulled his legs and retreated, a picture similar to this situation suddenly flashed in his mind, probed into the deep silt, and retreated to the beach on the coast.
After retreating from the river, some doubts rose in my mind, but then they dissipated, I had been in the river many times before, and I had also fallen into it, and it was normal to subconsciously imagine how to deal with the silt of the river.
After some effort, the two of them crossed the river and continued on their way.
After a short time, another river cut off the coast, and if you look closely, you can find that the front coast is divided into four sections by a river, and the wading distance is more than ten zhang wide.
Standing on the shore and looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Congyi felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen a river like the one in front of him before. But I can't remember when I have been to these places, maybe I have seen them on the Internet before? This is also something that cannot be said, I may have seen it before, buried deep in my memory, and now I have seen it suddenly, and I have this strange sense of familiarity.
The river, which cut the coast into four sections, took them a long time to get through.
As the sun was about to set, they crossed another river, and after a few miles, came to a small bay.
They found traces of human activity on the shore next to the bay, and followed them to a path that led to the jungle on the shore, but the path was overgrown with weeds and small trees, apparently unvisited for a long time.
As soon as the sun went down and it was getting dark, the two could not go on, so they slept in the bay that night.
After a long day of walking, they were also very tired, and after a brief meal, they sat on the beach with each other, watching the moonlight and the salty sea breeze.
Whether she can go back or not, Tang Xun doesn't know, but as long as Yang Congyi is by her side, she won't feel how difficult the days are, it's better to go back, she can't go back, she dies here, and she won't be a lonely ghost, today is still together, today is happy, as for tomorrow, let's talk about it when it comes. This is her attitude after many years of suppression, in this barren foreign land, willful, what can she do!
"Yang Lang, what does that moon look like on the top of the mountain." Tang Xun stretched out his hand to the hill on the shore of the bay.
Yang Congyi saw that the moon was hanging between the two big trees on the top of the mountain, the treetops were not far apart, and from a distance at night, it looked like a monster opened its big mouth, as if it was about to swallow the moon in one gulp. He smiled and said, "Tengu eats the moon? ”
As soon as he finished saying this, his heart suddenly moved, he seemed to have seen such a picture before, so he meditated hard, intending to trace the source of this picture in his mind.
Tang Xun smiled: "It's really like that. ”
After a long time, Yang Congyi didn't reply, so he asked, "Yang Lang, what are you thinking?" ”
Yang Congyi said: "This scene seems to have been seen before, this bay, that hill, the bright moon between the treetops, it's like the second time I've seen it, but I can't remember where I've seen it." ”
Tang Xun smiled: "I've never been here, how can I see it, it won't be a dream." ”
Dream? Hearing this word, Yang Congyi suddenly remembered that he had indeed had such a dream before, the bay, the hill, and the bright moon were still clearly visible, and the things in the dream appeared in the reality that he had never been to before, which made him feel very unusual, so he closed his eyes and began to try to recall that dream, trying to restore it.
Moments later, the whole dream reappeared.
It turned out that I had been walking all the way to the coast before, and I felt that all familiar things had appeared in my dreams, including this bay. In the dream, there was a larger bay behind this bay, and in that bay there was a large ship parked on board, with everything on board, and all kinds of supplies were enough for them to feed for a year, and when they got on board, they set sail and sailed into the vast sea again......
How could the dream overlap with reality, and it was still a reality that he had never seen before, all of which made Yang Congyi feel incredible.
If dreams were so magical, there should be a big bay behind this little bay, and there would be a big ship full of supplies parked in the bay, how shocking would it be!
As soon as he thought of the boat, Yang Congyi couldn't wait to immediately cross this small bay along the coast to see if there was a bigger bay behind him, and if there was a big ship!
But now that it's dark, I can't see the road, I don't know if I will encounter danger, considering that Tang Xun is very tired, it must be difficult for her to take her away, and he can't rest assured that he will leave her here alone. In the end, I had to suppress the curiosity surging in my heart and sit quietly with Tang Xun.
No matter what lies behind the bay, it will be seen tomorrow, and it will be worth two months to survive being trapped on the island.
He didn't tell Tang Xun about the dream, what can't be verified is gibberish, now is the difficult time, both of them have to stay awake, if Tang Xun thinks that he is not normal, the two lose trust, and there is a rift in the relationship, it is impossible for them to get out of Bagan, let alone return to the Great Song.
"Siniang, if we find a ship, do you think we should return to Da Song immediately, or go to Tianzhu to catch up with the Hui Yi fleet?" Yang Congyi couldn't help but ask.
Tang Xun turned his head to look at Yang Congyi, and asked very puzzled: "Yang Lang, how we leave is still a problem, how can you think of finding a ship to chase the fleet?" Let's not talk about boats, let's find people first. ”
Yang Congyi smiled: "I mean, it's always okay to dream, if we have a boat, what should we do?" ”
Tang Xun realized this, thought for a while, and replied: "It's definitely not okay to go back like this, Yang Lang, you are the one who wants to do great things, how can you give up halfway and go back alone?" We should chase Tianzhu and catch up with the fleet. You have also said before that the countries of East Tianzhu are only the first trading place of the Hui Yi fleet, and there are also the countries of West Tianzhu behind it, such as the Arab countries of black clothes and white clothes, and the distance back to Yi is still far away, if there is a ship, we can keep up, and we must keep up. Speaking of the fleet, there is one thing that I haven't told you yet, there are seven of our own ships in the fleet, and we have purchased more than a million pieces of cargo, if we don't follow, once it is found that the total amount of cargo in the fleet is more than the account, these extra goods will either go to the imperial court, and it is more likely to be swallowed by others, so if there are ships, we must catch up with the fleet. But I can only think about it, where is there a ship, our five ships of cargo are gone, and I don't know who will be cheaper, I am really unwilling. ”
"We have seven ships of cargo? Yours or mine? When was this? Yang Congyi was very surprised when he heard the news. No wonder there are more than a dozen more sea ships, there should be more than their own ships, maybe there are some private goods of wealthy nobles.
Tang Xun said with a smile: "Last year, many businessmen wanted to do business with the imperial court, but we purchased too many goods, so we stopped purchasing. Those merchants came to me many times, but there was really no way to carry half of their goods, and finally loaded seven ships, and our 700,000 yuan was spent. Now Siniang is Lang Jun's person, of course these goods are Lang Jun's. After that, his expression darkened, and he continued: "It's just a pity, I'm afraid we won't see it, and we won't be able to receive it." ”
Yang Congyi was full of emotion, seven ships of cargo are a huge fortune, but now he can't save his life, and he still thinks about what the use of the goods is. So he was relieved: "It's all outside the body, it's gone if it's gone, and it's important to save your life now." ”
"Okay, go to sleep, maybe when you wake up, maybe a miracle will happen tomorrow." Yang Congyi chuckled.
The bay where the bright moon hangs in the sky is quiet, except for the low tide, everything is silent.
