Chapter 421: The Way Home (2)
Although this small port in the North Island is very simple, for the sailors who have been wandering for half a year, the artificial buildings here still make them feel extremely nostalgic.
He Tie looked at the scattered shacks in the small county town, and the natives wearing animal skins, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to really get along so well with these guys." ”
The monkey smiled and said: "We can't help it, there are only ten people left here, even if the weapons are powerful, we are afraid that they will attack us, God forbid, these people's brains are not broken, otherwise the heads of a few of us are probably stuck in the stakes outside." ”
As they spoke, the two came to a shack.
"This is where I live, my wife is pregnant and recuperating in it."
He Tie nodded, and followed the monkey into the somewhat dim shack.
Seeing someone coming in, the red fox who was lying on the straw mat hurriedly got up, and when he saw that it was a monkey, he immediately relaxed, and then looked at He Tie, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Seeing this, the monkey said to the red fox: "This is what I told you before, my good brother He Tie, we have a lifelong friendship. ”
Hearing this, the red fox got up and nodded to He Tie and said, "Sit!" ”
He Tie stared at the red fox, and always felt that this woman was a little familiar, and for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it again, so he sat on the wooden pier with some doubts.
Just as he was thinking about it, He Tie's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the monkey and the red fox in disbelief.
"You... Aren't you the leader of that tribe? ”
When the monkey saw He Tie recognize his wife, his face was immediately full of pride.
"It's the leader of the Dadahar people, the red fox, and now it's my Zhao Liang's wife, I can't think of it."
"I really can't think of it, congratulations."
His good brother can get the leader of a small tribe to sit as a wife, and He Tie is more of a sincere blessing than an accident.
Although the red fox is a savage, it is still very good in terms of appearance, and its facial features are relatively upright, although it looks a little dirty, but among these natives, it is definitely one of the best.
"Thank you, I'm looking forward to going to Xia Kingdom as soon as possible, and when my son grows up, I still want him to go to the school palace to study, and I will mention it to others in the future, and I will have a light on my face."
He Tie nodded, looked at the monkey with some regret, and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in a short time." ”
The monkey was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I heard the first mate say that there are some people left here as a supply ground for the western continent in the future, and now the ten of you are doing well here, I guess the captain doesn't want to make too many changes, if you want to go back, I guess you have to wait for the imperial court to send someone to replace you."
After hearing this, the monkey looked a little lonely, but he did not mean to be angry.
"Alas, I almost guessed it, if you can't go back for the time being, you can't go back, there are few acquaintances on Xia Guo's side, and next time I estimate that you and I won't be able to see each other again in a few years."
"I can't stay, it's been a long time since I've been at sea, I'm going to go home to see this thing, I plan to buy a lot of cubs after receiving the reward, farm and graze, and live comfortably in Yancheng, I don't plan to go to sea again."
He Tie said slowly.
"Brother, don't you have the idea of joining the army? Over the years at sea, the captain and the first mate know your performance, and if you want to join the navy, you should always be fine. ”
He Tie scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I am not a soldier, you see that I am very strong, I am not used to fighting and killing, there was no way before, now I have a choice, I still like farming, I am thinking, my little horned dragon should grow up, and when I go back, I will stay near my home and reclaim a few acres of land." ”
The monkey glanced at He Tie with disdain and said, "You really wasted this good body that God gave you, if I were you, I wouldn't go farming." ”
"Hey, everybody thinks differently."
The red fox listened to the chatter between the two on the side, and suddenly spoke: "Land, is there really one in the west?" ”
Listening to the red fox's somewhat awkward official words, He Tie nodded and said: "There is indeed a piece of land, but there are no humans there, there are no dinosaur people, it is a very desolate piece of land, the beasts there are very interesting, we will also bring some back when we come back this time, and the captain is going to bring them back to the Xia Kingdom to give them to Your Majesty." ”
"Isn't there anyone over there?" The monkey asked, somewhat surprised.
He Tie nodded, "It's true that there is no one, there was no sign of human activity in the seaside area before, and the inland area doesn't know, I don't think there's much hope, where we set up a stone monument when we left, it is already the territory of the Xia Kingdom." ”
The monkey said with some disapproval: "There is no one, what is the use of asking for a desolate land, there are still so many empty spaces in the Shenzhou Continent, and I don't know what those officials of the imperial court think." ”
"How can the idea of the imperial court be guessed by ordinary people like us, it would be good for us to do our own thing, if it weren't for the imperial court, our current situation is estimated to be not much better than the people here."
The monkey nodded and said, "Let's not mention those big things, what does it have to do with us, is there any wine on the ship this time, drinking for so long, saliva is about to flow out." ”
"There's still some wine left, but it's very valuable, and whether you can drink it depends on the captain's arrangement."
At this time, after the two ships were firmly held in the harbor, the captain asked the captain to carefully check the situation of the ships.
After careful inspection by the sailors, they did not find any major damage, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as there is not much damage and some minor problems, the craftsmen on the ship can carry out simple maintenance, and it should not be a problem to support it until returning to the Xia Kingdom.
The cage-bound beasts in the bottom compartment were evacuated, and the long voyage at sea made the animals look a little languishing, and they died on the way.
The sailors did not dare to eat the beasts that died of disease, so they could only throw those corpses into the sea.
Most of these animals are marsupials, not only mammals, but even some birds, or small dinosaurs with unique shapes, with a small pocket on the abdomen, which looks very strange.
The captain stepped out of the boat, inspected the condition of the beasts, and explained to the sailors who were in charge of taking care of them: "These beasts must be taken care of, and they must not all die before they have returned home." ”
The sailors took note of the captain's orders, and in a short time several able-bodied men from the natives who were watching nearby were summoned to move the beasts to relative safety.
