Chapter 284: Embarking on a Journey

In the Sail Department, there are three sailing ships the size of the Dragon King. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This kind of sailing ship was named the herring class by Wang Chuan, except for the earliest one that was named the Dragon King, the rest were named herring No. 1 to several. furthermore

There are also five or six carp-class ships here.

The boats were all towed ashore and left in sheds for the winter, just in time for easy maintenance.

When Wang Chuan came out, he said that he was going to Haoxing to have a look. In the interval when the overhaul ship and other Liuling were over, he went to the Haoxing Department to take a look.

The Haoxing Department is two days downstream of the Sail Department. It is the central tribe of the original tribes of Taijiang. If you head east from the Sail Department, you will pass the former site of the Fish-Man Clan. They camped for the night near the former site of the Fishman Clan, and Wang Chuan took a look at the most arrogant and aggrieved tribe that had been destroyed by the Taijiang River.

There are no broken walls, only a few broken caves infested with foxtails from time to time. In addition, nothing can be seen......

Now it is said that there are more than 1,000 people in the Haoxing Department, and Wang Chuan was also very disappointed after seeing it.

They also began to cultivate, but the scope of the burning was a bit large, and almost all of the Haoxing tribes were burned to the ground ten kilometers away. If there is a flood before the grass grows, it is estimated that there will be many more tidal flats along the river.

Kuituo's arrogance was long gone, and when he saw the red cloak of Zhuang Niu and Abi, he greeted him from his tribe from afar, smiling all over his face. After seeing Wang Chuan and the little elephant appear in the team, he knelt down directly, with a look of panic on his face, lest Wang Chuan ask him about the past.

The calendar of the River tribe has been popularized, and now the bazaar in Haoxing is held every ten years. The tribes along the Taijiang River are close to each other, which is convenient for the exchange of materials between them. It's not a market day, and there are no outsiders here.

The Haoxing tribe is located in a higher mountain area on the bank of the river. They are still mainly cave dwellers, and several of the more decent buildings are wooden houses built with the help of the River tribe engineering output. But they themselves have begun to build their own houses, following the example of the River tribe's houses. Originally, there were gaps between the rows of houses built by the River tribe, so that fire and light could be used. But now the house is empty and shed up.

They also had other houses made of wood and stone. Some of the wooden houses were built with piles and fences, and some were built with sheds built from trees. There were traces of mud in the stone house, but the crooked wall made Wang Chuan stunned and did not dare to go, lest he would fall down and be buried in the back wall after entering.

These houses are generally short, barely exceeding two meters, and the roofs of the houses are mostly grass and mud.

These houses are very old-fashioned, but leaks and wind leaks can't be avoided.

Without having gone through the bloody lessons, they were unaware of the benefits of the various building requirements of the River Tribe. The house built at this time is naturally how to save trouble and how to come.

Seeing Kuituo's confident smile and the people of Haoxingbu who were lighting fires in those low sheds, Wang Chuan just wanted to go back and set one more rule for the people of the River tribe: in the future, the people of the River tribe could not enter the houses built by other tribes themselves. Even if you go in, you can't spend the night in these houses. This rule is best enforced for 10 years.

After looking at Haoxing's house, Wang Chuan probably knew what the architectural style of other tribes was like. It is not good to point out the shortcomings of others in person, Wang Chuan praised the population of the Haoxing tribe after reading it, and the landform is rich and beautiful. came out of the Haoxing tribe, but immediately asked Abi and the others that if anyone in the tribe dared to make the house like the Haoxing tribe in the future, they would all be whipped.

As for correcting their architectural thinking, Wang Chuan is ready to go back and teach their children.

When I returned to the sail department, the ice floe on the Taijiang River had basically disappeared. The river began to rise, and the grass along the river could be seen from afar. The beast tide is estimated to be coming soon, and they can wait a few days to set off if they want to hunt beasts, but Wang Chuan and the others don't know the specific location of the beast's crossing of the river, so they decided to set off early.

After the ship was overhauled, the tools, food, and salt were all loaded onto the ship, and the personnel were ready, and everyone was ready to wait for Wang Chuan to board the ship and set off, but there was a small problem.

The baby elephant was unwilling to stay in the sail department, so he pulled Wang Chuan and didn't let him go.

It's a laughable situation. The baby elephant and Wang Chuan have lived together for nearly five years and have only been separated a few times. It's better to be separated when you're in the River Tribe, where there are people who are familiar with baby elephants. But in the Sail Tribe, everyone is familiar with baby elephants, but there are almost no people who are familiar with baby elephants. The baby elephant is now half a big man, weighing four or five tons, and a herring-class ship can barely carry it, but that is almost the maximum load of the ship. The baby elephant is estimated to capsize when it turns around. So it's impossible to get it on board anymore.

Except for the baby elephant, the almost adult rhinoceros weighs more, which is really not serialized. The baby elephant is leaving, and the baby rhinoceros is following, what should I do?

The eaglet doesn't have these problems, it doesn't ask where to go, as long as Wang Chuan goes out, whether it's boating, elephant riding or walking, don't want to get rid of it. It was already standing on the mast of the sailboat waiting to set off, when it saw the baby elephant pulling Wang Chuan, spreading its wings and gliding over, raising its head and muttering several times to the baby elephant to express its dissatisfaction.

Abi said: "Elder Chuan, or you can stay, I will do this." ”

Wang Chuan said: "I'm going, in addition to better dealing with the risk of hunting beasts in the water, I also want to see the terrain of those places, and I have a bottom in my heart when I look back." There are some things that you haven't experienced, and if something goes wrong, or you go the wrong way, you don't know if you can come back...... In this way, I will ride on the shore with the strong ox, and you will sail in the river. We went our separate ways. Stop and camp on the shore at night. ”

When it comes to this, it's impossible for Wang Chuan not to go, and the little elephant wants to go, so take it. The baby elephant can jog long distances at 10 kilometers per hour, basically keeping up with the fleet, but it can't move forward at night. The baby rhinoceros can run stupidly for a day, and the speed is even less slow. It's not a big problem to bring them with you. I am no longer the weak chicken of the past few years, and there are strong cattle around me, and the world can be reached, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The plan was changed, and Wang Chuan and Zhuang Niu prepared several sets of weapons and dry food to tie to the baby elephant and the little rhinoceros in case of emergency.

Wang Chuan and Zhuang Niu both used the strongest bows of the tribe. In addition, both men will have a three-arrow hand crossbow on their bodies and a dagger with them. Each of them carried three pots and sixty arrows. Zhuang Niu brought two axes and a spear, and Wang Chuan brought two knives and a spear. In addition, medicine, boots, leather armor, tinder, salt, etc. were all available, and the baby elephants and little rhinoceroses were covered with leather armor, and they were untied to make tents. With this kind of equipment, going out is almost the same as traveling.

Abi prepared ten more men to follow Wang Chuan on land. It is impossible for these ten people to run on the road for a day, they can run for half a day and then get on the boat to rest, and change the others to come down. It's a long-distance exercise.

Get ready, set off on both sides of the waterway at the same time, and follow suit.
