Chapter 370: Gentleman
After sailing northwest for half a day, the expedition finally arrived at the small island, which was already covered in snow.
After both ships docked, the expedition team members stepped out of the cabin and quickly landed on the island.
After being unable to make a fire on the ship, and endured the cold for more than half a month, they found this small island, and after the captain's order, the team members rushed into the island quickly, frantically cutting down trees, looking for dry firewood, if they did not live, the team members felt that they were about to freeze to death.
The dinosaur captives were given food by the humans, and although their bodies were still weak, they showed no signs of death.
Dinosaur people are not cold-blooded animals, and dinosaur people like Shi Lunjia should be similar to birds, and their ability to withstand the cold is no different from that of humans.
During the Ice Age, even Mexico in the Americas was a scene of ice and snow in winter, and the Arctic Circle was much larger than the Earth in another world.
Although the Shilunjia Empire also has this kind of cold weather, on the desert island here, there is no shelter, the sea breeze is biting, and the temperature is far lower than that of Shilunjia's winter.
At dusk, although the expedition team did not finish the camp, they found a leeward hillside, where more than a thousand people gathered to light a fire, and a dozen soldiers sat around the fire, relying on their body temperature to warm each other.
Those captives of the dinosaur people, it is strange that humans do not kill themselves, do not communicate with themselves, do not know what their true purpose is.
Even if you bring them back to the country of the human race, you are just a small soldier and a craftsman, what is the use of it?
The captives spent every day in fear, not knowing if they would live to see the sun the next day.
In the middle of the night, the north wind howled and the snow fell like goose feathers in the sky, although this hillside was able to block some of the cold seals, but the wind and snow night still caused some expedition members to suffer from frostbite to varying degrees.
The heavy snow that had fallen overnight in the early morning had stopped, but the sky was still gray, and some snowflakes were falling from the sky from time to time.
The building was completely covered in snow, and the snow on the trees even crushed some of the branches, and there was a sound of trees falling in the jungle.
The expedition members, waking up from their sleep, shook off the snow and gathered their wounded companions.
In order to prevent non-combat attrition, the captain ordered the team to prioritize the setting up of tents for these frostbitten team members.
The wounded were moved to tents and given to several doctors to take turns caring for them.
The arrival of winter seems to have plunged this small island into a dead silence.
Apart from the whistling wind, not even a single bird call could be heard, and no animal was to be seen.
The soldiers from the north knew that with the onset of winter, the animals would hibernate, and in their experience, the weather in this smile was similar to that of the north, and the animals here should be the same.
Without animals, it is impossible to replenish the supplies consumed.
Although some supplies were replenished on Saltpeter Island when they returned, these supplies were able to hold out for another month.
This deserted island does not know how far away it is from the mainland, and this little food is simply not enough to survive the arrival of spring.
If they had not returned to the mainland before the food was exhausted, the expedition would be in a very dangerous situation.
Looking at the vast sea, the captain was worried, this small island could only be used as a place for wartime repairs, and when the crew was restored, they had to brave the bitter cold to move on, and they could only gamble whether they would live or die.
He Tie wrapped the animal skin on his body, picked up the dry wood on the ground, cursed the damn weather, rubbed his frozen and somewhat numb hands, and walked towards the camp.
The camp has been basically set up, and tents have been erected.
After collecting wood, the expedition members curled up in their tents, drinking spirits to warm their almost frozen bodies.
An explorer member beside He Tie, seeing that he was in a daze, pushed with his elbow and said, "He Heizi, what do you want." ”
"No... Didn't think about anything, do you think we'll go back alive? He Tie said worriedly.
"What bullshit, of course we can go back, this time our mission is completed, we can get a lot of reward when we go back, go ashore, I get a brothel to find a few pussies, damn it, I can't even see a female in this place, shit, I'm going to suffocate me."
"We are all money in exchange for our lives, are you willing to spend it on the belly of the girl?" He Tie asked puzzled.
This expedition member glanced at He Tie forcefully, and said: "What are we earning money for, not for spending, who knows if we can go back alive if we go out of the boat, damn, if you don't spend the money, will you leave it to the mother-in-law at home after death, Lao Tzu died, she patted her ass and remarried, and she didn't take Lao Tzu's money and went away with other wild men, what a fucking grievance." ”
He Tie was speechless for a while, not knowing whether he was right or wrong, sighed and said: "I still want to save more money, my cub will reach the age of enrollment in a few years, although it is not necessary to go to the Great Xia School Palace, but the cub always has to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and those books, I still think that there is a big official in my family, this is the end of our life, after death, there can be a big official to worship at my grave, isn't it a good thing?" ”
After hearing this, the rest of the people showed disdainful expressions.
"I said He Heizi, you think about these every day, what do you expect the cub to do, we have arms and right legs, we can also be officials, when Lao Tzu was fighting in the north, if it wasn't for the disarmament of the army, in a few years, I will at least be a general of the twelfth team, believe it or not."
After this man finished speaking, the rest of the people looked incredulous.
"Forget it, in the barracks, in terms of your performance during training, you still took the general, if you were the president, the brothers would have been fucking dead with you."
Listening to the noisy voices of his companions, He Tie couldn't help but smile and looked at the firelight in a daze.
Yancheng.
Wu Feng has been in a state of insolence every day since he met the eldest lady of the Lin family that day.
Seeing that her son was always sitting at the desk in a daze every day, Wu Feng's mother was very worried.
"Feng, what's wrong with you these days?"
Wu Feng came back to his senses and said, "Mother, I'm fine." ”
"Nothing? I don't think you have eaten much these days. ”
"Mother, I went out for a walk, and I won't come back for dinner."
"The imperial court will soon conduct a scientific examination, what else is there to go around." Mother Wu said dissatisfied.
"It's okay, I'll do those things, don't talk about it, I'll go first." After speaking, Wu Feng left the house in a hurry.
Wu Feng, who was full of worries, walked towards the street before.
Habitually came to that small shop, and this location just happened to see the gate of the Lin family.
"This student, did you see the Lin family girl last time?" The shopkeeper teased beside Wu Feng.
When Wu Feng heard this, his face turned red inexplicably, and he said hesitantly: "See... See. ”
"I saw everything that day, you scholars are just not happy, when the Xia Kingdom was not established, at that time, the tribe gathered, the man took a fancy to the woman, directly fought with others, and took the woman away if he won, how can he be so troublesome to you, just say that I am a mother-in-law, I just fell in love with it at the beginning, and I asked her when I went up, how about having a cub with me, and it was not agreed at once, and the man had to be happy." The shopkeeper said smugly.
The woman, who was busy in the store, couldn't help but glare at him when she heard her man boasting about the past.
Wu Feng smiled, what the store said, Wu Feng also experienced it when he was a child, thinking of those scenes at that time, Wu Feng just felt extremely embarrassed, after learning the truth of male and female defense in books, now looking back, human beings at that time were indeed barbarians.
Now the society is different, and it is definitely not possible to use the original method, after reading the love stories in those myths and legends in the books, young people will inevitably have different ideas, thinking that the two people who are married should be happy with each other, not just for the sake of reproduction.
As the actors sang during the New Year's show, the birds in the trees came in pairs
, green water and green mountains with a smile
, pick a flower casually
, I wear a hair room with my wife
and from now on no longer suffer from that bondage
, the husband and wife both returned home
, you plough the field and come to me to weave
, I will bring water to you to water the garden
, although the cold kiln is broken, it can withstand the wind and rain
, husband and wife love bitter and sweet
, you and I are like mandarin ducks
, flying in the world with wings.
"Uncle, shouldn't husband and wife use feelings to maintain relationships?" Wu Feng said slowly.
The shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "I don't understand what feelings are not your feelings, but my mother-in-law and I didn't have any feelings at the beginning, after so many years, we are used to this kind of life, if one of them suddenly dies one day, I should be sad." ”
Wu Feng nodded, and his eyes looked towards the gate of the Lin family from time to time.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "If you want to see her, go directly, Lin Shilang still values you scholars very much." ”
"Alas, it's hard to explain this!" Wu Feng sighed.
Seeing that the handsome young man was a little depressed, the shopkeeper shouted into the house: "You fry a few dishes, and I will accompany this little brother to have a few drinks." ”
The woman answered, and after a while, she heard the sound of an iron pot stirring.
"Little brother, Nizi Azhe, wait a minute, I've been here for a long time, let's talk about it, let's have a few drinks today, this is a good wine that I have treasured for many years, and I have a treat today."
After speaking, ignoring Wu Feng's obstruction, the shopkeeper got up and walked towards the house.
Wu Feng found that there seemed to be some problems with the shopkeeper's right leg, and his walking posture was a little weird, as if he had been injured in some way.
After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a jar of wine and filled the glasses of the two of them.
Smelling the aroma of wine, Wu Feng exclaimed: "Good fragrant wine, I can't imagine that my uncle still has such good wine." ”
"Well, yes, let's have a drink first." The shopkeeper smiled.
"I'll give Uncle a drink." Wu Feng got up and drank all the wine in his cup.
The shopkeeper smiled and drained the glass of wine.
"Sure enough, it's good wine!"
"Uncle, what's the name of this wine, I've never heard of this kind of wine in Yancheng." Wu Feng asked.
Mentioning this, the shopkeeper said with pride: "That's natural, this wine has no name, it was rewarded by His Majesty at the beginning, how can ordinary people drink it." ”
Wu Feng was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty rewarded you, uncle, have you seen Your Majesty and his old man." ”
"I've never seen it!" The shopkeeper smiled.
"Can you tell me about it?" Wu Feng's face was full of curiosity.
"You know about the five divisions of the grassland before the establishment of the Xia Kingdom." The shopkeeper asked.
Wu Feng nodded and said, "I naturally know about this, but I was still a child at that time. ”
"At the beginning, I followed His Majesty and several generals to defeat the Five Divisions of the Grassland, and this wine was given to the soldiers in the army by His Majesty at that time, and it has been almost ten years now."
Wu Feng was very surprised, he didn't expect this ordinary man to have such an experience.
"Uncle, then why did you retire?"
The shopkeeper seemed to remember something sad, took a sip of wine, and said: "Alas, when I conquered the five parts of the grassland, my leg was injured, and I had to retire. ”
Facing this veteran who had contributed to the Xia Kingdom, Wu Feng was suddenly in awe, and hurriedly got up and said, "You are a warrior of the Xia Kingdom, please bow to the boy!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and said, "Little brother, this can't be helped, what kind of warrior am I." ”
Wu Feng said: "If it weren't for your bloody battles, Xia Guo would not have today's achievements, please accept this worship, you deserve it at this time." ”
The shopkeeper's eyes were a little moist, and he said again and again: "Okay, okay, I accept it, like I have fought for the country for many years, and someone can still remember, even if it is worth dying." ”
The more the two talked about speculation, there was a feeling of seeing each other late.
As the relationship between the two became acquainted, Wu Feng learned that the name of this shop was Sun Qian, who was once a spearman under Lin Jianya, and one of the slaves who escaped from the Five Divisions of the Prairie.
And Sun Qian also knew the reason why Wu Feng didn't dare to visit Lin Shilang's house.
It turned out that Lin Shilang thought that Wu Feng's kid was a talent, but this Wu Feng may have been stupid in reading, and he had to say that he wanted to find a person he liked to marry, and he actually rejected Lin Shilang's kindness, which broke Lin Shilang's face, how could Wu Feng still have the face to visit, if it weren't for Lin Shilang's generosity, he didn't find Wu Feng's trouble, which activated An Neng to drink with himself here.
"Alas, you let me say what is good about you, this matter is difficult to do, little brother, you have nothing to ask the gods, so maybe there will be a chance." Sun Qian smiled bitterly.
Wu Feng took a sip of wine and said, "I also know that it is difficult to do, now I just want to see Miss Lin more, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”
Sun Qian patted Wu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Alas, what uncle can help, although I mention it, although Lin Shilang is a second-grade official, he will still give me some face." ”
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "There is no need to trouble Uncle Sun in this matter. ”
