Wu Gang looked at the extremely energetic savage, and gestured and said, "Do you want this arrow?" ”

The savage looked at the arrow in his hand suspiciously, and then looked at Wu Gang with a blank expression.

Wu Gang frowned, squatted down and drew a few children and an arrow on the beach, and pointed to the children in the group of savages, and said, "How about this arrow and you exchange three children?" ”

The wild man scratched his head, stared at the pictures on the ground for a long time, probably understood what Wu Gang meant, howled excitedly, and quickly ran back to his tribe, grabbing the hair of the three children and dragging them over.

Listening to the screams of the children, everyone couldn't help but feel a pain in their scalps, and they didn't know if this dragging method would pull their scalps down.

The wild man threw the children on the ground and muttered a lot of things, as if agreeing to exchange them for the arrows.

"Brother Wu, what do you want these little cubs to do?" Li Mu asked puzzled.

"These children are brought back, and when they learn our language, they can also be used as translators when His Majesty explores this area in the future, after all, the language barrier is likely to cause unnecessary trouble, don't you think we were in this situation at the beginning, if it weren't for the tribe who knew our language, it is estimated that it would take us a long time to integrate into the Ministry of Salt." Wu Gang explained.

Li Mu looked at Wu Gang and said with emotion: "Brother Wu thinks more than me, and his future achievements will definitely be above me, and I will take more care of my brother when the time comes." ”

"I'm just wondering, how can I achieve anything!" Wu Gang smiled disappreciatively.

Seeing that the two suspicious heads and necks were talking, the wild man seemed to have forgotten himself, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and shouted at the two of them.

Wu Gang asked the soldiers to keep an eye on a few children, and gestured to the savages: "Is there a water source near here?" ”

The wild man nodded again and again, pointing in the direction of the jungle.

"Brother Li, you wait here, I'll take someone in to have a look, just here to replenish fresh water."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, you must be careful, there is a danger of detonating a grenade, I will bring someone to pick it up!" ”

"Then I'll leave everything to Brother Li."

Wu Gang said, and led the soldiers to follow the group of wild men in the direction of the jungle.

In this strange place, everyone is highly nervous, and the threat of the beast is not to be worried, and this group of eccentric wildlings is their greatest threat.

Following this group of people, they entered the jungle nervously, only to see that this group of people were extremely agile in the jungle, and their movements were like monkeys shuttling between vines.

And Wu Gang and the others could only cut off the vines with machetes and barely passed.

After walking for about half an hour, everyone finally saw a small river.

The wild man pointed to the small river and made a gesture of drinking water to Wu Gang and the others.

Arrived at the water source safely, Wu Gang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this group of strange savages should have no ill will towards him, put his mind at ease, and was about to let the soldiers go to the small river to check if there was any danger.

But just then, the savage stopped the soldier and muttered something.

The highly nervous soldier immediately drew his sword and formed a circle, protecting Wu Gang in the middle, staring nervously at this group of savages.

Looking at the sharp steel knife, the savages were terrified, and when they cut the vines just now, they had seen the sharpness of this weapon.

The wild man came to the array with courage, and nervously pointed to the vicinity of the creek, grinning with his teeth.

Wu Gang squinted at the small river, and then said, "Put the knife away, Chu Da Man!" You take people to the river and take a look, be careful! ”

When the captain of the army, nicknamed Chu Da, heard this, he called his subordinates and cautiously approached the river.

The topography of the river is very complex, with low shrubs growing on both sides of the riverbank, and the muddy water makes it impossible to see what is going on underneath.

But just when everyone felt safe, a huge figure suddenly burst out of the water, and came straight to a soldier with a bloody mouth.

Fortunately, Chu Da on the side reacted quite quickly, and dragged the soldier over, narrowly avoiding the bloody mouth.

Wu Gang looked at the monster with half of his body exposed, his face was gloomy like water, there was such a terrifying thing in the river, which brought a lot of trouble to fetch water.

After Chu Da and the others came back, they said to Wu Gang: "What should we do!" ”

"Go back first, come back tomorrow, bring more grenades and blow this thing up." Wu Gang said slowly.

After saying that, he motioned to the wild man, and returned to the beach the way he came.

Li Mu waited anxiously on the beach, and several times he couldn't bear to rush in, but he didn't hear the explosion, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

After waiting uneasily for more than an hour, after seeing Wu Gang and them coming out of the forest, Li Mu immediately led someone to greet them.

"Brother Wu, why have you been going for so long and have you found a water source?"

Wu Gang nodded and said, "I found it, but it's a little troublesome!" ”

"What's going on?" Li Mu asked in surprise.

"Let's talk about this later, let's spend the night here today, and then leave after replenishing the fresh water!"

Li Mu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay! I'll arrange for the soldiers to camp here. ”

After speaking, he looked at the wild men not far away and said, "What should they do!" ”

Wu Gang said: "Since they don't want to leave, as long as they don't hinder us, we don't need to pay attention to them." ”

After ordering the soldiers to signal to the people who were wearing them, the soldiers who stayed on the boat, carrying supplies, rowed a small boat towards the beach.

The army camped quickly, and hundreds of soldiers soon occupied the beach, cut down trees, and lit bonfires.

As night fell, the smell of food wafted from the beach, and the savages watched with envy as the soldiers feasted, touching their empty bellies and drooling.

"Go, give them some food!" Wu Gang instructed several soldiers.

When the savages saw someone coming towards them, they immediately became nervous and retreated.

The soldier threw a bag of flatbread on the ground and said, "The general is kind enough to give you something to eat, and you had better be honest." ”

As soon as the soldiers left, the savages gathered around and looked curiously at the contents of the bag.

The man sniffed a piece of cake carefully, and took a bite gently, although it was a little dry, but the unique taste suddenly made him overjoyed, and he screamed excitedly.

Li Mu looked at this group of savages and snorted lightly: "What a group of savages who have never seen the world. ”

Wu Gang just shook his head and smiled when he heard this.

After a peaceful night, the next morning the navy went to the jungle with their equipment and barrels, and the group of savages followed far behind.

With enough grenades, just lure the monster up and make sure to send it on its way.

Coming to the river, Li Mu asked, "Is the monster in this river?" ”

Wu Gang nodded and said, "Well, this thing is very big, we have to be careful, I took a look at it from a distance yesterday, and the bow and arrow are useless to it." ”

Li Mu nodded, and ordered the soldiers to place the prepared bait on the shore and ambush in the nearby bushes.

The smell of food soon attracted the monster in the water, and the soldier quickly pulled the rope and slowly dragged the bait to the shore.

It didn't take long for a huge head to emerge from the water and swim towards the food at a rapid pace.

"Ready!"

With an order, the ten soldiers who were in ambush lit the fuse.

"Cast!"

"Whoosh!"

The spark-brave grenade spun and flew towards the river.

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion rattled the eardrums of the people, and the wild men who had seen such a magnificent sight all lay on the ground, trembling, praying to the gods to appease their anger.

After the aftermath, there was a wave on the surface of the river, bright red blood stained the surface of the river, and a corpse with a white belly rose and fell in the water.

Seeing a round of attacks, it was better for this guy, Wu Gang immediately asked people to drag this thing out of the water, such a big guy can provide a lot of meat, and the hard skin, if you take it down and bring it back, you may be able to sell it for a good price.

The soldiers dragged the monster out of the water, and everyone gasped as they looked at the nearly four-meter-long body with its hard scales.

Li Mu pulled out his waist knife and slashed at the monster's flat head with all his might, causing no damage at all except for leaving a little white mark.

"Good fellow, this monster's skin is hard enough." Li Mu said in surprise.

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Such a good skin, it is definitely a rare thing to bring back, this is a good thing!" ”

Li Mu also smiled, "Indeed, I didn't expect that we would have an unexpected gain this time." ”

With that, the monster was turned over, and the axes were used to disembowel it, and the soldiers dismembered the monster with great speed, and brought back all the rest except the internal organs, and even the bones were put into the basket.

The frightened savages watched the soldiers dismember the corpses of the monster, this monster did not know how many lives it had hurt here, but now it had become minced meat for slaughter, everything that had just happened completely subverted their cognition, and their eyes were full of admiration for the navy.

After dealing with the monster, the soldiers began to clear a clearing here, looking for dry wood to start a fire.

The water quality of this small river was turbid, and the Xia Kingdom did not allow soldiers to drink raw water, so the river water had to be treated before it could be used as drinking water.

The soldiers used thick linen cloth to filter the water of the river several times and put it into wooden barrels.

Pour the filtered river water into the iron pot plum and boil, let it cool, and then pour it into the wooden barrel of plum before closing the lid.

After being busy for most of the day, collecting enough fresh water for more than 20 days, he returned to the beach with supplies.

The entrails that had been thrown away by the soldiers were rare food for the savages, and as soon as the soldiers walked on their front feet, the savages immediately divided the entrails on the ground and hurried to follow the procession.

Li Mu looked at the wild men who followed up with a bunch of internal organs behind him, frowned, and said to Wu Gang: "Why are these wild people still following. ”

Wu Gang smiled: "It's okay, just follow it, I think they worship us very much, it's a good thing for us." ”

"What is there to be happy about being worshiped by a group of savages, if we are worshiped by the countrymen, it will be honorable." Li Mu said disapprerovingly.

"Brother Li, these people have no ill will towards us, of course it's a good thing, when I come again, as long as I am fully prepared, with the help of this group of people, and spread our powerful power, when the time comes, we only need to give an order, aren't the people here obedient to me as the obedient people of Great Xia, so how much trouble can be saved for Your Majesty." Wu Gang said slowly.

"I hope so!" Li Mu pouted.

"Brother Wu, how long will it take to return to the Xia Kingdom from here!"

"I guess it will take half a year, and there is still a long way to go!" Wu Gang said lightly.

Li Mu sighed and said, "I really want to go back immediately, I've stayed in this sea enough, I've been floating on the sea for two years, and this life is really not human." ”

Wu Gang shook his head and did not speak.

Upon their return, the army loaded the collected supplies onto small boats and transported them to the warships.

After resting all night, in the early morning of the next day, Wu Gang called the head and neck of the wild man.

"We're leaving!" ”

The wild man reacted, became emotional, prostrate on the ground, bowed to Wu Gang continuously, pointed to himself and pointed to the big ship on the sea, and even gathered the incomparably precious arrow to give it to Wu Gang.

Wu Gang frowned, pointed to the warship, and said, "Do you want to follow us?" ”

The wild man nodded repeatedly.

Wu Gang was suddenly a little embarrassed, the child was still useful to him, and there was no threat, it was very risky to bring a savage who didn't know anything to the boat, but looking at the expectant eyes of this person, Wu Gang couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Brother Wu, what are you waiting for, we should go!" Li Mu urged in the boat.

Wu Gang pondered for a while, and gestured: "You go with us!" ”

Seeing this, the wild man jumped up from the ground with joy, and ran excitedly to his people and shouted.

The rest of the savages were also excited when they saw this, and what a wonderful thing it was to be able to follow the gods to the places where the gods lived.

When the savage brought all the clansmen, Wu Gang's face turned to the side, and he pointed to the rest of the savages: "You can only go alone, and the others can't!" ”

After some difficult arguments and conversations, only the wild man finally got into a small boat and headed out to sea.

Looking at the warship that was drifting away, the wild man on the beach knelt on the ground and watched the warship disappear into the distant sea.

The three savages and the man were arranged on Wu Gang's ship, and the children worked hard to learn their own language, and the strong man, Wu Gang did not raise him in vain, and repeatedly scrubbing the deck every day was his only job, and this man was also full of enthusiasm for this work, as if he felt that he was doing an incomparably glorious thing.

In Yancheng, after the soldiers who were addicted to drugs were escorted back, they were immediately imprisoned and forced to undergo drug rehabilitation.

After listening to the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling from within the wall every day, the people of Yancheng completely dispelled their thoughts of looking for opium.
