Chapter 76: The Dock of the Future
"There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings" is somewhat reasonable. In the wild, monkeys are the most "eventful" beings.
They always like to "alert" other animals to predators approaching, and they also like to attack all kinds of alien creatures that are not in their native land. When hunters encounter a group of monkeys in the wild, they will most likely have nothing to gain except for a pack.
But in fact, domesticated monkeys are more difficult to deal with, and monkeys are not afraid of people, and they will become bold in the future. Just think of Sun Monkey.
As the monkeys approached, Lin Ji hurriedly pressed the pistol on his waist and reminded everyone: "Be careful that they get close and take away items." ”
Monkeys snatching things have happened in every scenic spot where there are monkeys, and Lin Ji will feel a headache when he thinks about it. If they snatch the guns away, they might be in for a show of the rise of the apes. If you don't ask someone to do something, you should bring the ghost eagle and the wolf dog at this time. With predators, they can be somewhat quieter.
The black fox who was holding his things tightly glanced at Lin Ji in surprise, he remembered that he hadn't reminded Lin Ji on the road, and he was a little skeptical that Lin Ji had been here.
Seeing that the people here were all shrunk into a ball, the monkeys did not know what to do, and became a little agitated, and shouted louder.
Lin Ji said: "Whoever brought food, throw a little out, throw it farther." ”
Throwing out the jerky and stems, the monkeys immediately ran over and grabbed them, and they no longer had the mind to gather the crowd.
The black fox pinched a handful of dried fruits in his hand, and was secretly frightened again.
In a moment, several thin men appeared in the woods, and the black fox greeted him and muttered. One of the men looked over here and asked, "Tiger Man?" ”
Broken Tooth stepped forward and said, "I'm a brute. As he spoke, he pulled down his clothes and showed people the tiger head tattoo on his chest.
There were three barbarian guards among the ten people, and in addition to their skills, Lin Ji planned to act in the name of the tiger barbarians in some places. This matter is understandable, because Lin Ji was originally looking for Hu Yi'er for Hu Man, and the few people who broke their teeth were indeed barbarian guards. It's just that now it's back to Ji Lin.
The man of the monkeys repelled the group of monkeys and hurriedly welcomed Lin Ji and his party into the house. At the same time, the snow and ice are cut away, and the frozen pheasant squirrels below are taken out for hospitality. The situation is very different from that of the Pointed Tribe.
Another woman came out and greeted her with some dried fruits and the like, looking extremely enthusiastic.
Seeing that Lin Ji and the others entered the house under the tree, the monkeys also went up to the nest in the tree and stopped making trouble.
"I wonder which one is from the Tiger Tabby tribe?" Lin Ji turned his head to look at it, and saw that these people were all scratching ape-walking monkeys, obviously they were all used to living with monkeys, but they didn't recognize which one was from Tiger Forest.
The first lean woman said, "He went out hunting, and we have people call him, and he will be back in a moment." ”
This woman was the leader of the Monkey tribe and was called Monkey.
Speaking of this, she was still a little ashamed. This is because after the man in the tiger forest was cured, he did not see the person who had gone to report the news come back, and prepared to go to the tiger man again. It's just that it's snowing at this time, and the monkey tribe can't even get out of the set of warm animal skins that can stay overnight in the snow.
The man from Tiger Grove had no choice but to take some of his men around hunting. I hope to hunt big beasts, take skins and dress them.
Lin Ji said: "We have a new skin outside to bring over, and we also have companions outside. But we also have bighorn deer, small mammoths, wolf dogs, ghost eagles, snow monsters, I don't know if it's inconvenient to call in? ”
Monkey Mu listened to the translation of the broken teeth, and thought that he had misheard, so he turned to look at the black fox, who had a good analogy, and Monkey Mu nodded in a daze. Then he called a lot of people out to watch the monkeys, and asked Lin Ji to call what he said.
In fact, some of them don't believe that things like ghosts, eagles, and snow monsters can be companions of people.
As the bighorn deer and other animals approached, the monkeys of the Pei Monkey tribe couldn't stop squeaking again. Almost all of these things are alien species, and the special ghost eagle is a natural enemy, and it is strange if you don't scratch it when you see it on both sides.
It took Ji Lin and Pei Monkey's men to obstruct them for a while before they separated the two sides. In the end, the monkey was driven back to the tree, and the ghost eagle was pulled by the forest trail to prevent him from running around.
Lin Ji gave most of the remaining elk from yesterday to Pei Monkey, and the people of Pei Monkey were naturally overjoyed. The number of monkeys is only fifty or sixty, and this elk has about 200 catties, which can be eaten for several days.
The people of Pei Monkey accepted the gifts, became more polite, and made more dried fruit stems and pieces to entertain Lin Ji and the others, and also talked about the whole story of the people from the Tiger Forester here.
It turned out that in early autumn, the people of Tiger Grove came here and began to have diarrhea, and one person died here. The person who stayed here is almost waiting to die here. Later, he was found and rescued by the monkeys, and he was actually better after raising it for a while.
There was only one person left struggling to go to Human, and when Lin Ji knew what was going on, he naturally died.
Lin Ji asked, "How did they come to your tribe?" ”
Coming from the Jiantou tribe, all the way to the north, it seems that this is not on the edge of the Yangtze River.
Monkey pointed to the east and said, "There is the river ahead, and they were found in front." ”
Lin Ji turned out the map and looked at it, and after eating, he followed the monkey's point, walked out two or three kilometers to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the Yangtze River had a bend here.
"It's good to build a dock here." Lin Ji looked at the topographic road by the river.
It is about 200 kilometers away from the tribe, and if you want to go to sea by sea, it is best to have a few transit points along the way in the conditions at this time. The curves here are gentle, and the current should not be so sharp. There are hills on the shore, and they are not afraid of floods. Build a wharf again, it is convenient to repair ships to avoid floods or resupply overnight.
And the people of Pei Monkey are hospitable, and it may be bad to run a dock well, but it should still be good to receive people.
Lin Ji and the others felt that they should befriend this Pei Monkey tribe. In the future, the shipowner will be able to build this pier step by step.
The decision was made, and while the people had not yet returned, Lin Ji and the others cut down trees and built a wooden house on the spot in the Pei Monkey tribe to thank them for saving the people from Tiger Forest.
Lin Ji and these people are all skilled in building houses, and a few people are responsible for cutting down trees, and there are baby elephants and bighorn deer to help drag back the wood, and the house is built quickly. By the evening, the house was basically built.
There was no fireplace chimney in this wooden house, only a crack was left on the roof for chimney, and it was not a problem to exhaust smoke from the small fire. The house was built to a size of about 100 square meters, and with this house, the people of Pei Monkey should be able to live a lot warmer this winter.
In the process of building the house, Shenglu was a little absent-minded and muttered about the blood relationship with the black fox, and then probably had the meaning of recognizing the black fox as his father.
After Folded Tooth translated these to Lin Ji, Lin Ji said: "This is because we are afraid that we will leave the Fangs tribe out in the cold, and we want to make benefits for the Fangs tribe...... But it's okay, if this dock is prosperous at that time, it needs someone like Black Fox to manage it. ”
Only those who can calculate can do business well, and it is not enough to rely on good people to do business.
Lin Ji couldn't have imagined that the smug Shenglu still had such affection for his original tribe.
Those who had gone out also returned in the evening. They were a group of seven or eight people, and they hunted back a roe deer that was less than 100 catties. The people who went to look for them only met them on the way back.
A man with a wooden bow on his back walked up to Lin Ji and the others under the guidance of others, and shouted: "Barbarian-"
"Tiger!" Folded teeth naturally answered.
It was at this moment that the man almost burst into tears.
