Chapter 9 It's Not Worth Anything?
The treasure ship slowly approached the coast, and when there was still some distance left, Zhao Chen ordered the ship to stop. The draft of the treasure ship is three or four meters deep, and if you go any further at this time, it will be time to run aground.
The bureaucrats naturally obeyed Zhao Chen's words, and as soon as they heard Zhao Chen's order, they immediately took action.
More than a dozen shirtless sailors, shouting trumpets in their mouths, lifted the iron anchor weighing thousands of pounds and lowered it to the side of the ship, the iron chain on the winch made a 'bang-la-la' sound, and the advancing treasure ship was restrained by the iron anchor and slowly stopped.
The boat had already been prepared on board, and as soon as the treasure ship stopped, the boat was immediately put down, and all the rest, except for those who were on duty, went ashore.
Zhao Chen took the binoculars and watched carefully for a while, and after confirming that there was no special situation on the island, he ordered to take a small boat and set off on the island.
There are only two boats, and hundreds of people can only take turns to go to the island, Zhao Chen sat on a small boat with Jiang Chao and Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chumo was extremely uncomfortable with the sulfur that Zhao Chen asked him to carry on his body.
Before leaving, Zhao Chen asked everyone to carry a little sulfur on their bodies, the amount was not large, but it was enough to exude the pungent smell of sulfur, and Cheng Chumo was a little uncomfortable because of this.
However, after being warned sternly by Zhao Chen, it was worth enduring the pungent smell and taking it with him.
You can't be sloppy, in the rainforest, that's a paradise for snakes, and they're all highly venomous snakes. Once you are accidentally intimate by a snake, then wait for death! Although Zhao Chen has a time and space supermarket, he can't do anything about snake venom!
The best way to do it. It is to carry a little sulfur per person in advance, and hope that the sulfur tastes. It can make those cold-blooded animals retreat!
I was on board for more than ten days. When the feet stepped on the soft sand, the feeling of being down-to-earth suddenly made everyone stagger, and after a while, they all fell back and forth on the beach.
However, despite this, everyone shouted excitedly, provoking their companions who were on duty on the ship and could not get down. Hungry.
The soft sand is scorched by the sun, and people lie on it, looking at the blue sky overhead, feeling the solidity under their bodies, not to mention how comfortable it is!
Jiang Chao was lying comfortably on the beach, closing his eyes comfortably, with one hand in the sand, humming comfortably. I feel that there is suddenly a hard thing in my hand, and the most important thing is that this hard thing is still moving.
His brow furrowed. When I was still thinking about what it would be, I grabbed my finger with a finger and was slammed by something. A heart-piercing pain struck, and Jiang Chao let out a scream violently. A carp straightened up and stood up from the sand.
And after Jiang Chao. More and more people on the beach jumped up from the sand screaming, shaking the things that were pinched by their fingers.
It was none other than sea crabs, but they were all smaller crabs!
However, all this is like just beginning, just when Jiang Chao and the others finally got rid of the little crab in their hands, everyone suddenly found that the originally soft sand gradually began to squirm, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
The whole beach is squirming, and it's a terrifying feeling to watch. In less than a moment, a small crab emerged from the sand, followed by more.
Thousands, thousands, dense, in the blink of an eye, sea crabs are all over the beach, and hundreds of people are surrounded by thousands of crabs in an instant.
These crabs are not very large, they look the size of a child's fist, and they can't hurt people at all, but the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of crabs is indescribably creepy.
"Get off the beach!" After a moment of surprise, Zhao Chen suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't pay attention to the crabs under your feet, these crabs can't hurt people!" ”
As he spoke, Zhao Chen took the lead in pulling up Cheng Chumo's sleeves and quickly rushed towards the depths of the island. The rest of the people, when they saw Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo, they were almost running with their feet on dense crabs, and the expression on their faces hesitated slightly, and they immediately ran along.
The spawning period of sea crabs is in April and May, and this is July, so they are very 'lucky' to meet those small crabs that have just been egged. What's more, it's a small crab all over the beach!
"My, it's so scary!" Finally got away from the beach, Cheng Chumo sat on the ground, looked at the beach from afar, densely packed with crabs, thinking that he had just run out of the middle, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Jiang Chao beside him also had a pale face and a palpitating look, but his eyes looked at Zhao Chen and asked a little resentfully: "Did you know this situation in advance?" ”
Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, it is estimated that this product went to sea with him this time, and he suffered a lot, and he was autistic, and he was surrounded by a group of crabs, and he accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart.
"It's strange to believe you!" Seeing this, Jiang Chao immediately muttered, and looked at the beach below, with a fear in his eyes.
"Let's go!" Zhao Chen glanced back at the beach, took out a cloak from his arms, buckled it on his head, and said in a strange tone: "Now is the time for Captain Jack to lead you on a treasure hunt!" ”
Treasure hunt! This is a very seductive/bewildering word, originally pale, looking at a group of people on the beach, suddenly heard Zhao Chen's words, and immediately one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes were suddenly filled with wolf-like light.
Everyone has a cloak of yarn, which is not stuffy, but can keep out the blood-sucking little things of insects, ants, ants, and ants.
It's a rich island, but it's also full of dangers, and maybe, just a little bug, it can kill you in an instant!
So, the best thing to do is to do the necessary protection!
The cloak was given to each person, and at this time, when Zhao Chen didn't react when he saw that someone else was wearing it, the wingmen all buckled it on their heads. Living in the mountains and forests all year round, these people naturally understand the horror of the mountains and forests.
At this time, it was noon, the forest was extremely hot, and as soon as I entered the dense forest, I heard the sounds of all kinds of animals, far and near, filling my ears.
Invisible mosquitoes make a 'buzzing' sound in swarms, and sometimes the 'buzzing' sound can drown out the sound made by the animals.
At the front of the line, there were two wingmen with knives, constantly waving the knives in their hands, splitting the thorns in front of them for everyone to move forward.
The plants of the tropical rainforest, because of the special natural environment, are usually tall and fat, because they are irrigated by rain all year round, this area is particularly vibrant.
"What the hell is a treasure?" Silently walked forward a few hundred meters, in addition to the endless vegetation around him, it was vegetation, seeing Zhao Chen walking forward with people, Jiang Chao, who had been following Zhao Chen, finally couldn't help asking.
This is actually the answer that everyone wants to know, and everyone, including Cheng Chumo, immediately pricked up their ears and listened as soon as they heard Jiang Chao ask this.
"What is the specific meaning of the treasure that Brother Jiang is referring to?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Chao with amusement and asked.
"Of course it's very valuable!" When Jiang Chao heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, with a knowing expression on his face, and said to Zhao Chen angrily.
"If, it's just something of value!" Zhao Chen stopped, pointed to the trees on both sides of the road and said, "I think the things that bear on it are enough for Brother Jiang to earn even people who can't recognize them!" ”
What a bunch of bastards! As soon as he entered this dense forest, there were valuable spices everywhere, and fist-sized nutmegs were crowded together in piles, and these guys didn't even recognize any of them, and they were embarrassed to ask him where the valuable treasures were!
Nutmeg is definitely a golden bump in the Tang Dynasty now, not to mention ordinary people, it is a noble family like the Qin Cheng family, nutmeg is an absolutely rare thing, if it is not an important banquet, Mrs. Qin will never allow it, take out nutmeg as a material.
Now, this kind of nutmeg is everywhere, if you can pull it to Chang'an, wouldn't everyone be able to make money?
So, the next scene got a little out of control!
As soon as Cheng Chumo and Jiang Chao heard Zhao Chen's explanation, they personally verified one, and after confirming that it was nutmeg, they immediately went crazy!
The two of them were like standard misers, roaring madly, asking the stupid wingmen to help them pick up the nutmeg on the ground.
After a while, the two of them picked up a large pile of nutmeg, and each stood next to them, still staring at the nutmeg everywhere, shouting for the wingmen to keep picking it up.
Zhao Chen stood there with his arms crossed, looking at the two second-class goods with interest, constantly instructing his bureaucrats to pick up nutmeg, with a full expression on his face.
Finally, Zhao Chen's expression was discovered by Jiang Chao. After being stunned for a long time, Jiang Chao looked down at the pile of nutmeg under his feet, and suddenly a wave of anger surged, angrily kicked away the pile of nutmeg, pointed at Zhao Chen angrily, and scolded: "You deliberately looked at Jiang's jokes, didn't you?" ”
"Brother Jiang, you're a bit unreasonable!" Zhao Chen held back a smile, looked at Jiang Chao who was annoyed and angry, and said: "I only said that these nutmegs are very valuable, but I didn't say that I wanted you to pick them up, you two yelled at each other to pick them up by yourself!" ”
"Okay!" Jiang Chao was speechless by Zhao Chen's words, took a long breath, walked up to Zhao Chen dejectedly, looked at Zhao Chen seriously and asked, "Then tell Jiang, what is the more valuable thing you are looking for?" ”
As soon as Jiang Chao's words came out, Feng Zhidai on the side couldn't help but prick up his ears, just now he also thought that Zhao Chen ran so far for these spices, if this is the case, then his trip is in vain!
"Keep it a secret for now!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he smiled mysteriously at Jiang Chao and said, "That thing is extremely precious, even I can't guarantee whether I can find it!" (To be continued......)
