Chapter 296: Supplies Arrive
Due to the sudden arrival of humans, the rest of the predators had to give up the hunting spot, and they knew from long experience that hordes of humans were terrible hunters, and that wild beasts would not normally attack opponents stronger than themselves.
If you do that, you will change from a predator to a prey, and it is the nature of living beings to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Shi Yue didn't pay attention to the beasts that came and went, and immediately sent people to jump into the cold river water after the fishing tools arrived, and began to fish wildly.
Human beings are much more efficient at catching fish than wild beasts, and in the face of such a dense school of fish, they only need a rattan basket to go down, and they can catch more than a dozen fat big fish with their eyes closed.
The frenzied fishing lasted for more than two hours, and after filling all the dozens of sacks that he had brought, he walked ashore and headed towards the stronghold with a full team.
On the way back, Shi Yue called the guide over, and he was in a good mood, so he took out two fish from the sack at random and threw them to him, regardless of whether he understood it or not: "These two fish are for you, behave well in the future." ”
The white guide hurriedly hugged the two fish, ignoring Shi Yue's words, and smirked and stuffed the two fish into the animal skin bag on his waist.
After living here for two months, he had seen the delicious food made by the black-haired humans, and he had to keep the two fish, and after observing what the men were going to do with them, he would learn how to deal with them, and he felt that this would not be a waste of this rare food.
After an hour and a half, the group finally returned to the stronghold.
Zhao Jian saw Shi Yue and them coming back with so many sacks, so he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Brother Shi, what is your situation!" ”
Shi Yue said with a smile: "We have good luck this time, this sack is full of almost seven or eight catties of fish, let's also improve our food tonight, don't you still have a jar of good wine left, you and I have a good drink tonight." ”
Zhao Jian also smiled when he heard this: "I'm still worried that if we don't deliver supplies in the past few days, we will be hungry, now it's okay, so many fish are definitely enough for us to eat for a long time, I will definitely bring good wine in the evening, and find you to have a good drink!" ”
After Shi Yue motioned for his subordinates to carry the fish in, he said, "Brother Zhao, what are you going to gain today?" ”
"Hey, what can I gain, it's not because of the lack of food, I don't dare to arrest people anymore now, there are too many people, our food is not enough!" Zhao Jian sighed.
Shi Yue also shook her head helplessly, and said, "Your Majesty asked us to arrest as many as possible, this time the supply will definitely be huge, otherwise it would have arrived so long ago, presumably they are estimated to be there soon." ”
"I hope so..."
Before Zhao Jian could finish speaking, the soldiers on the watchtower suddenly came to report: "Two generals, there is an unknown team in the south." ”
When the two heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly climbed up to the watchtower.
When the two saw countless vehicles and a long queue slowly walking towards them, they said in unison: "It's finally here." ”
In order to ensure the safety of the supplies, the two hurriedly sent 100 soldiers to meet the grain delivery team.
After the officials of the grain transportation team saw the two white feathers on the helmets of Shi Yue and Zhao Jian, they immediately knew the identities of the two, and said respectfully: "Xiaguan, the manager of the Hubu Trade Station!" Zhou Shi has seen two generals. ”
"Steward Zhou, you can be counted as coming, if you don't come again, we are all starving to death, what good things did you bring to us this time!" Zhao Jian looked at the long convoy behind him and said excitedly.
Zhou Shi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two generals brought this time are enough for you to use for a long time, and there is naturally no shortage of wine and meat, not only that, but new military uniforms have also been delivered." ”
"Good! Good! This time it's hard to take care of things, please come inside, it's cold in this place, drink some hot water to warm up. Shi Yue said again and again.
After explaining that the soldiers helped carry the supplies, the three of them came to Shi Yue's residence.
After Zhou Shi saw the different houses here, he said in surprise: "Two generals, why is the house here built like this. ”
Shi Yue said with a smile: "Steward Zhou, you don't know how cold it was here a few months ago, and the wooden house can't live in it at all, only in this way can you survive those months." ”
When Zhou Shi heard this, he immediately admired the two of them, and arched his hand and said: "The two generals are really hard, staying in such a place for so long, they are worthy of being my warriors of Great Xia." ”
"This is what we should do, what an honor to be able to serve Your Majesty, what a little hard work is worth, this place is not as barren as imagined, there are still many wild beasts, it just so happens that today we caught some fish in our hearts, just to taste the deliciousness of this cold place." Shi Yue said slowly.
"Then it's going to trouble the two generals." Zhou Shi said gratefully.
"I don't know if Steward Zhou is here, in addition to transporting supplies, His Majesty has any other orders." Zhao Jian asked.
Zhou Shi nodded and said, "Your Majesty did explain some things before leaving!" ”
"Oh, I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about!" Shi Yue asked.
"Your Majesty is well aware of General Shi's desire for knowledge, and this time he specially ordered me to bring some books and paper, pen and ink for General Shi to use."
When Shi Yue heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Is the paper made?" ”
Zhou Shi nodded and said, "Make it, not long after the two generals left, the paper was made, it is extremely convenient to write, and I think General Shi will like those books very much." ”
"Congratulations to Brother Shi, it seems that Brother Shi has an extraordinary status in His Majesty's heart." Zhao Jian congratulated.
"Not only General Shi, Your Majesty also gave General Zhao a new scimitar, which shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the two generals!" Zhou Shi said with a smile.
When the two of them heard this, they arched their hands towards the south and said, "Your Majesty treats us like this, and we are willing to die for Your Majesty!" ”
"Two generals, Your Majesty has an explanation, the savages caught in the north should be sent to the Ministry of Works' Shangshu as much as possible, there is a lack of manpower there, so Your Majesty asks you to capture the savages here as soon as possible." Zhou Shi said solemnly.
Shi Yue nodded and said, "Steward Zhou, please tell Your Majesty when you go back, we will do our best to complete this task, more than a thousand savages have been caught here, and we will send a batch to the harbor in the near future." ”
"Then there are two generals." Zhou Shi nodded.
At night, in the cold night, this stronghold is lit with fires, shouting everywhere, and plenty of food makes these people have no worries and eat heartily.
Shi Yue and Zhao Jian entertained Zhou Shi very ceremoniously with the kind of fish they caught, this kind of fish that was just cooked by the police officer was extremely delicious, completely different from the fish they had eaten, and Zhou Shi was amazed by the fish they had eaten.
