Chapter 96: The Return
When the south wind blows, the ice and snow in the Yangtze River turn into spring floods, making the river open and boundless. There is also a river channel near the killer whale tribe, and after the snow melts, the river reflows, and the forest trails make people build a simple dock at the mouth of the river, where the killer whale and another small clipper boat, now called the Dolphin, are parked on the edge of this pier.
The Killer Whale spent several days in the sea to familiarize the sailors with the operation, repair some problems on the hull, and prepare for the return trip.
On this return, Lin Ji will sail both clippers back, with the small boat exploring the path in front and the big ship following behind, in case of a run aground. Small boats are also convenient for transporting some things to the Jilin tribe. Those small rivers that go deep into the forest, the killer whale may not be able to get out if it goes in.
The next day was planned, and on this day, the salt and various seafood were first carried to the ship and placed in place.
The forest trail is about to go, and the entire killer whale tribe is extremely reluctant, and the most reluctant is the vermilion monkey who is about to take charge alone.
Perhaps it was the thought that he would have to settle down here alone with thousands of people, and at the same time complete the farming, shipbuilding, and expansion goals of the forest trail plan, and that there was no forest trail to help him with advice, he couldn't sleep for days, and his eyes were red.
The previous rhetoric had vanished at this time, and the pressure was really overwhelming him like a mountain.
Lin Ji stood on the simple wharf hill to watch the waterline of the boat, and the red monkey stood beside him, looking like a child reluctant to go out of the house.
"I've already said what I should say, if you want to listen to anything, I only have one sentence: don't be impulsive in case of trouble, and discuss it with everyone." Lin Ji turned a blind eye to the anxious appearance of the red monkey, and just made a little more warning about the weakness of the red monkey's youthful impulsiveness.
Men, there will be this stage. If you carry it, you can grow a man who stands up to the sky, and if you can't carry it, you can't carry it.
For the purpose of cultivation, Lin Ji agreed to stay with the Zhu Monkey, and in fact, he had already made a lot of preparations.
Zhu Monkey is called a commander here, not a leader, and the explanation to the outside is to give orders instead of Lin Ji. This avoids the problem of making him the leader and some people are not convinced.
In addition to Zhu Monkey, Jiao Ke is the deputy commander. First, Jiao Ke can help Zhu Monkey calm the scene. Second, if Zhu Monkey can't succeed, Jiao Ke will temporarily replace him and stabilize the situation here.
If something like this happens, someone will report it to Lin Ji at the same time, and Lin Ji will also send someone else to manage it.
Jiao Ke has experience leading Tiger Forest, and there is no problem with his temporary replacement.
Lin Ji has also made a promise that if Jiao Ke can assist Zhu Monkey for three years, after three years, Lin Ji will find another tribe for Jiao Ke to lead and make him the leader of a place.
Jiao Ke is not trained as a leader, and there are some things that he may not be as good as the vermilion monkey who has been with Lin Ji for more than a year, and in the process of assisting the vermilion monkey, he also happens to learn how to lead a tribe in a new way. So, he agreed.
And Lin Ji is not left untouched.
The development plan for the next few years has been written. The monkey just needs to do it. He may not know some of the words in the plan, but Lin Ji has also studied with him and Shi Beak these days. Two people complement each other, and it's okay to figure out a plan. This is also the reason why the forest trail left a stone beak for a year.
In addition, the forest trail left rice, corn, tomatoes and other seeds for the vermilion monkey so that he could develop farming. There were also more than a dozen tons of scrap iron left, which was enough for him to toss for a while. Cao San and Claw Pan and others also have a certain amount of experience in shipbuilding, although the efficiency will inevitably decrease after leaving the various cutting tools of the forest traces, but the technology of shipbuilding is basically learned. The witch is dead, and the word is a witch again.
On this basis, as long as Zhu Monkey does not make any big mistakes, it should not be a problem for him to sit firmly as the leader of the killer whale tribe in the name of this commander.
What Zhu Hou has to do at this time is to withstand the pressure and implement various plans.
After the goods were loaded, Lin Ji boarded the ship and checked it, and the red monkey still followed on the side, looking like he couldn't leave. By the way, Lin Ji explained to Zhu Monkey the precautions of the voyage, and it was indispensable to say some bold words about going to sea to motivate him.
The two got off the boat, it was getting late, and the red monkey was still the same, so Lin Ji was a little annoyed: "You said that it was you who stayed, and now it has been arranged, you are still like this, what are you making trouble?" ”
Although he planned to fail the vermilion monkey, Lin Ji really didn't want to see the vermilion monkey like this. The situation here can be corrupted, but if the Zhu Monkey has no fighting spirit at all, and he is defeated before the forest traces are reined in the tiger barbarians, it will also have a very strong impact on the future arrangements of the forest traces.
The plan of the forest trail is that this side and the upper reaches of the river will grow at the same time, and at the same time, they can communicate with each other, gather various forces along the river, and finally connect the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to here. That's a bit of a scale.
"I ......" Zhu Monkey wanted to speak and stopped.
Lin Ji finally reacted: "You don't want to ask me for something, do you?" ”
Zhu Monkey nodded slightly.
"Beer? Liquor? Coke? Pharmaceuticals? Clothes? Pen and paper? Lin Ji asked one by one.
These forest traces are all left for the vermilion monkeys, but the number is really not too much. In the case of beer, there are only a dozen cases, which is not enough for a few rough men to drink a few meals. Of course, Lin Ji is not for Zhu Monkey to drink, this is to encourage people as a prize. One award at a time, one or two, this is enough to make everyone have a little hope. Although the beer was drunk all at once, it can be kept, isn't it?
Zhu Monkey shook his head slightly.
"Then I'll leave you a car and a boat?" Lin Ji asked tentatively.
Zhu Monkey lowered his face and said, "You don't have any gasoline yourself, so you might as well leave me some scrap iron." ”
Lin Ji told them about the principle of mechanical movement, and Zhu Monkey also knew that those cars also needed to be refueled. And this oil is not fish oil or animal oil, it is gasoline. From the Shijing tribe to here, the car has not almost been lying on the nest.
"So what do you want? Say. "Lin Ji is impatient.
"Hand, that thunder." Zhu Monkey hesitated, but after saying it, he became full of anticipation: "I only need five hundred." ”
"Grenade?" Lin Ji finally understood: "Four hundred? Why do you want 300? Two hundred grenades can blow this place up, don't you know? I may only have a hundred, give you fifty. ”
Zhu Monkey didn't know what the decreasing logic of the forest trail was, and in the end, there were only ten grenades in his hands. However, Lin Ji gave another forty words.
Legend has it that there was a large inventory of wooden-handled grenades in later generations. However, there was no large-scale garrison in the small town where Lin Rui was located, and that shooting range was also a shooting practice range for the nearby armed police. Only a few boxes of grenades were found in the forest trail. This one has almost given a box to the vermilion monkey.
Zhu Monkey has these grenades in hand, whether it is self-protection or Liwei, there should be no problem. Lin Ji can be regarded as relieved. Self-confidence is the most important thing for a person. Maybe the vermilion monkey may use a lot of these things, but with these, the whole person is completely different.
For Zhu Hou, these are not grenades, but his guts.
With these grenades, the Zhu Monkey is gone, what is reluctant, what is stressful, and what is sleepless all night. Lin Ji saw a young leader with great pride in the bonfire, giving orders, commanding like a mountain, and everyone respectfully kept a distance from him, not daring to say a word.
Because their young commander is smashing scallops with grenades to eat......
……
In the early morning of the second day, Xiaobai drove two baby elephants onto the Orca, followed by a dozen clever children of thirteen or fourteen years old. Then there are sailors, broken teeth, arcs and others.
The bighorn deer was left to the red monkey, and the wolf dog was left with the red monkey. The ghost eagle had already stood on the mast early, and he couldn't stay if he wanted to.
The dozen or so clever children of thirteen or fourteen years old were selected here to go to school in Ji Lin. After these people go for a few years, they will bring back all kinds of knowledge from Ji Lin, and then they will open a general school here. Before the advent of schools here, a group of children would be sent to Jilin every year, in the name of guarding the forest ruins.
As Lin Ji and Hu Yi'er finally got on the boat, there was a cry on the small pier, and Lin Ji was quite reluctant to see it.
Waving goodbye to everyone, the boat entered the Yangtze River with the south wind, all the way west, and the speed was not slow. It only took one day to reach the Scimitar tribe, which likes to brag about horns.
They stopped their boats at night at the Crooked Horn tribe for the night. At this time, there was no translation, but among those who were proficient in music, language was not needed to communicate. Although Lin Ji did not speak the same language as them, he was still warmly welcomed by the Scienthorn tribe.
According to the previous agreement, Lin Ji exchanged a lot of horns with them, and invited several of them to go to Jilin together on the boat, which is called exchange and study.
Although the people of the Scienthorn tribe were afraid when they saw this kind of big ship, two warriors still followed the forest trail and got on the boat.
In this way, Lin Ji wants to get closer to these tribes. Over the next few days, Lin Ji slowed down the boat and used the same method to pull several tribes of people aboard the boat along the way.
A few days later, he returned to the Tiger Tabby Tribe. Lin Ji and his entourage were warmly welcomed. The old man in the tiger forest saw Hu Yi'er burst into tears, and almost cried until he turned his back on his back.
Shenglu was so proud that he reported the number of people to Lin Ji, not only was there not a lesser person, but there were more than a dozen more. This is because Shenglu was worried that someone would die of illness on the way, so he found a small tribe and absorbed it.
At this time, it was almost time to farm, and Katsu Scales also followed Ji Lin's example and opened a lot of wasteland to prepare for farming. Lin Ji then brought them some seeds of new grain and vegetables. At the same time, it also corrected the position of the leader of the scales.
Lin Ji also selected some people to board the boat in Tiger Forest, and set out on the return journey again.
When it came to the Pei Monkey Tribe, the forest trail stopped for another day. In addition to the usual selection of people to Ji Lin, Lin Ji also sent them some seed tools. After the agreement, they will come and go often.
After that, he skipped the Jianjiao tribe and went directly to the Yangtze River where Human was located.
Although the whole process was stop-and-go, it took less than 10 days. If you make fewer stops on the way, you probably won't need half the time. Coming to this conclusion, Yi'er and the others on the ship laughed out loud.
Lin Ji said: "You don't have to be like this, if you are familiar with the waterway, you can travel day and night, and if you want to be so windy at this time, maybe you can go to sea in three days." There's nothing strange about that. ”
The clipper can be very fast, the killer whale is almost fully loaded at the end, and the speed is not obvious, but the little dolphin can often run twenty kilometers, and this is still against the current.
Everyone still wanted to find a place to stop the boat along the river that flowed out of Ji Lin, but when they entered the mouth of the river, they saw Qing Mu leading hundreds of tiger barbarians waiting on the bank of the river.
The forest trails made people look for a place to dock and stop the boat, but seeing that Qingmu had a broken arm, where could Hu Yier wait to stop the boat? If it weren't for Lin Ji's pull, she would have jumped almost immediately.
As a last resort, Lin Ji had no choice but to order the sails to be lowered and the ship stopped, and then asked the Dolphin to come and pick up Hu Yi'er ashore. He also accompanied him up, and asked the Arc Commander to find a suitable stop nearby.
The mother and daughter have not seen each other for nearly a year, and they have their own sufferings, so they naturally hug their heads and cry.
Lin Ji greeted some familiar tiger warriors.
After Qing Mu finished crying, he said to Lin Ji: "Thank you for your hard work. Whose ship is this? What about them? Can you bring back salt? ”
Thom waited here all winter. In other words, since Lin Ji left Ji Lin, she has been waiting here with people.
The tiger barbarians are brave, but they didn't suffer much this winter. It's just that this kind of waiting torment still makes her look a lot older.
Lin Ji's various performances in the hunting made her full of confidence in Lin Ji's trip. In other words, she felt that Lin Ji couldn't find Hu Yi'er, and she didn't know what to do.
In addition to waiting for Hu Yi'er, she is actually waiting for Lin Ji to get enough salt to come back.
After the beginning of spring, the tiger will take advantage of the mammoth to return north and hunt again. In order to store a certain amount of meat, let tens of thousands of tiger barbarians spread out on the road to eat. But at this time, the weather is warm, and if there is no salt, the meat will go bad in three or two days. This will put the Tiger Barbarians in great trouble.
Now that Qingmu saw that Hu Yi'er was safe, he naturally asked another question of concern.
But she saw that there were too many people on the boat who were dressed in different styles, lest Lin Ji only cared about getting people back to the tribe and did not get salt.
Lin Ji said: "Don't worry, this ship's carrying capacity is very good." There are 200 backs of salt on the ship, which should be enough for everyone to use for a while. If it wasn't enough, the ship would run fast, and another batch would be shipped back in about a month. There should be no shortage of salt in the future. ”
The arc found a place to park the boat a little upstream, and immediately had people nail down the improvised dock. In the process, Lin Ji and Hu Yi'er talked to Qingmu and others about what happened on the beach, where Pi Jiaoer and the others went, and so on
In order to dispel Qingmu's worries, Lin Ji immediately carried a lot of salt and seafood.
Human's side is naturally not polite, and he will put the salt on his back and leave.
Qing Mu saw enough salt, and finally was relieved: "You still have a way." I have no shortage of salt, and when I deal with the deer later, I will look at Qizi. ”
