Cao Guangxiao carefully observed the trunk again and found no traces of felling. After confirming this, he turned his head and ordered the flag commander to tell the ship: "No human presence was found!" ”

"No people? So there is no one living in this land? It's a big borderland! Fang Mingqian shouted.

"What a blessing! Blessed by the old gentleman! Zhu Bai couldn't help but say. He and Fang Mingqian originally thought that there must be people living in such a large area with suitable weather and not barren land, and in the process of sailing south from the Beijing Sea in the north, they had a heated discussion on how to deal with different local people or the government, and made various plans. Unexpectedly, these plans seemed to be prepared in vain.

"Since there is no one in the wilderness, let the soldiers all get off the ship." Fang Mingqian said: "It's been floating on the sea, even an old sailor can't stand it anymore. ”

"Let them all disembark." Zhu Bai nodded in agreement, but then ordered, "Be careful." There are no people here, and there may not be no poisonous snakes and beasts. It is still necessary to let the soldiers set up camp tents well and pay attention to precautions. ”

"Let Cao Guangxiao continue to lead the soldiers to explore the forest, but not more than thirty miles, and return immediately after reaching thirty miles."

"Yes, Your Highness." Fang Mingqian agreed and ordered the soldiers to get off the boat.

When he heard the news from his superiors, the ship suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers! For four months, most of them have not left the ship since leaving the Ainu place, even those who have been adrift on the sea all year round are a little unbearable, and those who rarely take the boat feel that their feet are shaking all the time, and they have no energy to do anything, and today they are finally able to get off the ship, how unhappy!

After everyone cheered, they immediately returned to the cabin to take out their belongings and disembark, and the generals of each ship had to keep shouting: "Don't carry too many things, put them on the ship first!" Wait until the tent is set up! "Line up to get off the boat according to your own thousands of households, line up!" ……

Zhao Yuanyuan, the commander, led the soldiers of his subordinate to get off the boat, selected a flat place close to the river, ordered some people to clean the ground, and ordered others to wield axes to cut down trees.

The birds and animals brought on board were the third group to disembark. These terrestrial animals, like humans, are obviously not accustomed to floating at sea for long periods of time, and many of them die at sea and have to be roasted and eaten for meat. This time the first settlement was finally settled, and the people who kept the livestock immediately brought them down. I saw more than a dozen dogs, more than 20 chickens, and six pairs of rabbits being driven down. The keeper built the breeding room for the people before they were built.

Among them, the most precious are dozens of horses! Before leaving, Yun Xi specially asked him to bring a lot of horses, more than a hundred, half of them died on the way, and there were less than sixty left. Zhu Bai was distressed enough, and hurriedly took them down.

After that, the fourth group of disembarked soldiers was responsible for searching everywhere for something to eat. The food they had brought from their homeland and Japan was almost exhausted, and in fact, if it weren't for the constant fishing along the way, they would have starved to death on the way. Supplemental food is urgently needed. And most people are almost throwing up eating fish, and they really want to be able to eat something else.

It's a pity, "Your Highness Qiyu, Governor Fangdu, all the soldiers can search for is still fish and shrimp." However, these fish and shrimp are all fish and shrimp grown in the river water, and the fishy smell is not as strong as that of marine fish. The 100 households who led the team reported.

"Hey, I can only eat fish!" Zhu Bai sighed.

"Your Highness, I can finally eat fish and shrimp in rivers and lakes, which is better than always eating sea fish, and it can be regarded as a change of taste." Fang Mingqian forcibly comforted.

"Well, even if you have a point. I just hope that the soldiers will not complain. Zhu Bai said.

In this way, when the evening came, tents large enough to accommodate thousands of people were hastily erected, and a fence was made of wood around the perimeter. Most of them disembarked from the boat with their own sheets and came to the tents assigned to them, with only a few left behind to guard the boat.

When everyone saw that their dinner was still fish, they were very dissatisfied, but they still endured it. I just arrived in a strange place, I don't know what is poisonous and what is not, I really can't eat indiscriminately, it is better to eat some familiar fish.

The exploration team led by Cao Guangxiao also returned from the forest and brought back a few birds, which they wanted to offer to Zhu Bai and Fang Mingqian to eat. However, Zhu Bai glanced at the soldiers who were eating fish, and decided to stew it with a wave of his hand, each sharing a bowl of broth and a little minced meat.

After dinner, Zhu Bai ordered the soldiers to rest early. In the summer, the morning dawns early, so you can rest for a while today, and tomorrow you will be able to get up at sunrise and build a more complete building in this place.

The soldiers themselves slept obediently. It's a reckless place, there's nothing outside the camp, and what's there to see at night?

Even the sentry guards were drowsy. The excitement of arriving in a foreign continent has long since disappeared, and the rest is just boredom. Most people miss their loved ones back home and look forward to returning home soon. In addition, the exploration team had already reported that there were no people, so they naturally relaxed their vigilance.

Little did they know that at this very moment, in the darkness of the forest, a pair of eyes were staring at this dimly lit place.

……

……

"Jairo mud mask, you're right, sure enough, someone has come to the land where we have lived for generations!" At the edge of the forest, a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face said to a young man beside him.

"Great Chief Qilika, I would never tell a lie, especially about such an important matter!" The young man known as Jairo Mudmask said unhappily when he heard this.
