Undoubtedly, if Wanghai City wants to trade with other places, the most convenient way is definitely the waterway, which includes sea navigation and river navigation.

Navigation at sea is still a bit difficult for the time being, at most you can only swim along the coastline, and if you want to cross the ocean, you need a ship to have certain conditions, which are not available in this era, so it is better to go on a river.

Now Lin Bei is thinking about the possibility of taking advantage of the river in front of him, this river is not far from the Changshan Mountain Range, only forty miles away, although there is no shortage of rhinoceros in the forest, but as long as the road section is paved, the beast will naturally have to retreat, the key is that the river is too shallow and the crocodiles in the river.

In this kind of tropical forest, with the arrival of the rainy season, the rain increases, and it is easy to form a river, but once the rainy season passes, then the river will dry up, Lin Bei thinks that this river is estimated to be the river of this rainy season, if the road is repaired by then, but the river is dry, then the joke is really big, this is the first point that Lin Bei considers.

The second point is the crocodiles in the river, to be honest, Lin Bei is quite surprised that these crocodiles can reach a length of eight meters, you need to know how long a medium-wing boat is? It's only about ten meters, and Lin Bei is really worried about such a ship facing such a huge crocodile, it is too easy to be knocked over, in short, it is too dangerous.

In addition, Lin Bei has a deeper concern, are there any other fierce beasts in the river besides crocodiles? Will these beasts attack humans or ships? This worry is not superfluous at all, judging from Lin Bei's experience to this era, because the poor mountains and bad waters are inaccessible, the beasts that can grow up are larger than those seen by Lin Bei in the previous life, of course, because no one can hunt them, but also because of the good environment in this era, which is suitable for the growth of these fierce beasts. In this environment, human beings are at a disadvantage.

A dangerous river, and possibly a river in the rainy season, could not be considered by Lin Bei, and now his decision would involve more than 50,000 people in Wanghai City.

"I saw a lot of reflections on Changshan just now, so there should be a lot of rivers and lakes. Take a look around and try to find a river that suits, even if it's farther away. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Bei no longer went down the river, but walked towards the second reflection according to his memory.

Then Lin Bei saw the rhinoceros again, this time it was three rhinos, two large and one small, and the rhinoceros bird was also startled by Lin Bei's sound, but the male rhinoceros was very friendly this time. did not attack Lin Bei, but snorted a few times, and walked away slowly with his wife and children.

"It seems that there should be a lot of rhinos here, so you can see them again without going far."

Later, Lin Bei reached a second reflective place, which was originally a large swamp, and the increase in rainfall caused some low-lying areas of the forest to accumulate water, which flooded the wet ground. A large swamp was formed, and herds of rhinos and bison were also seen here in Linbei. They roll in muddy water, which cools them down and makes their surface hard with mud so that they can defend themselves against enemies.

Rhinos are second only to elephants in size and weight, and have few natural predators on land, unless they themselves are injured or old, and the bison herd is clearly doing well in this forest. Aside from tigers and wolves, which can occasionally kill them, they don't have any powerful opponents, so there are a lot of them.

After leaving the swamp, Lin Bei moved forward again, and when he reached the third reflective place, he found that it was a small river. It was smaller than the first time I saw the river, the river was muddy, with dead branches and leaves, with the arrival of Lin Bei, several pythons came out of the river, and then fled, there were also bison and rhinoceros, but there were no elephants to be seen.

"Shouldn't this be, there are so many rhinos but no elephants? It's not scientific. ”

To say where there are the most elephants in Asia, there is no doubt that Laos and Thailand, these two countries regard elephants as national treasures, Thailand even has an elephant festival, and later generations can often see reports that Thai people have caught elephants in the wild.

"If the elephant herd is too far away from the Changshan Mountain Range, it will not be easy to catch, and 100 miles is almost the limit."

According to this range, Lin Bei ran quickly, but after going around, he still didn't find any trace of the elephant, and finally had to stop helplessly.

"Or catch a rhino?" Looking at the rhinoceros on the edge of the swamp, an idea flashed through Lin Bei's mind, and then, Lin Bei seriously analyzed this possibility.

Compared with elephants, rhinoceros bull back is much narrower, in addition, rhinoceros personality is more irritable than elephants, if you use rhinoceros to go to the battlefield, it should be stronger than elephant soldiers, but taming is a difficult point, ancient only heard of taming elephants, but rarely heard of someone taming rhinoceros.

"Oh, I remember, I remember a certain animal world said, it seems to say that rhinoceros' eyesight is actually not good, a bit like myopia, they can't see things in the distance clearly, and it is probably because of this that no one tames rhinos."

Slightly regretful, Lin Bei could only dispel the idea of taming the rhinoceros.

Lin Bei didn't look back at Haicheng this night, he climbed a big tree, and then stayed up all night.

On the second day, Lin Bei, who was still full of energy, followed the idea he came up with last night, and took the Changshan Mountain Range as a line, and he searched along this line at the angle of parallel lines, from south to north, as long as the range did not exceed 100 miles.

After running like this for two hours, Lin Bei estimated that he should have run out of the range of Ninan County, Lin Bei heard the sound of water, and he saw a big river.

This big river is very wide, about six zhang wide, the water is also extremely deep, Lin Bei drilled into the river and looked at the bottom of the river, the stones at the bottom of the river are very smooth, obviously there are many holes, Lin Bei even found a few turtles in the hole, so Lin Bei determined that this river is not a rainy season river, not the kind that will dry up at the end of the rainy season.

Finding this, Lin Bei suddenly lifted his spirits, this kind of big river has a beginning and a flow direction, if it flows to the Mekong River is the most ideal situation, even if it does not flow to the Mekong River in the end, then it will definitely gather other rivers, this is not far from the sea, so it will eventually flow to the sea has a good chance.

All the way up, Lin Bei is ready to explore the source of the river, and it would be best if the source was close to the Changshan Mountain Range.

The river is quite gentle, the banks are densely covered with reeds, and it is also a paradise for bison herds. In addition, Lin Bei also found the traces of rhinoceros, and as he crawled forward for a while, a large area of green appeared in front of Lin Bei, and in front of him was a large lotus leaf.

These lotus leaves cover the entire length of the river, and the surface of the lotus leaves has protruding thorns. Like the thorny kind, this is the-headed lotus, which belongs to a wild lotus species, and their lotus pods are also different from other lotus pods, purple-red in color, with needle-shaped spines on the surface.

Going ashore, the range of this piece of's head lotus is amazingly large, it actually stretches for several kilometers, and when it is about to get out of the range of's head lotus. Lin Bei's eyes suddenly kept all the time.

The-headed lotus has already had some buds, and at this time, Lin Bei saw that there was a bud on the riverbank, which was obviously broken from the lotus stem, which was not an act that a beast could have.

"Is there anyone?" Lin Bei stretched out the snake letter, probing the surrounding movements, catching the breath in the air, but in the end he didn't notice anything, after all, the various smells in the forest were too complicated. Even if someone passes by, the breath quickly melts into the air. It's hard to notice.

Climbing in front of the flower bud, Lin Bei observed the surroundings, several grasses obviously had traces of trampling, and carefully identified that someone should have come to the river to drink water, and then picked the flower bud by the way.

"There are real traces of people." Lin Bei straightened up: "Is it a Han or a barbarian?" Or are they the remnants of the two counties of Nichinan and Kushin? Otherwise, it's the local natives. The possibility of indigenous is higher. ”

The indigenous people here refer to the ancestors of the three countries of modern Burma, Thailand and Vietnam, in addition to the Han Dynasty, the production and technological level of these three countries is obviously very low, among which Vietnam is still the territory of the Han Dynasty at this time, and the other two countries may not have the concept of a country. Rather, it is in the form of tribes and ethnic groups, and if it is in this form, the water source is obviously essential, and they are probably in the vicinity of the river.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei did not hesitate too much, and followed the trails, preparing to find these natives.

With these traces, Lin Bei can almost see how many people they have, it should be five people, and they are very careful, they are next to the bushes or under the trees, and they will not pass by the rocks, because the rocks are the places with the most snakes, these five people obviously have rich experience in surviving in the wild, of course, this is also very normal, after all, they have been living here.

After following for about an hour, Lin Bei stopped, those people were obviously returning home, and Lin Bei was outside their home at this time.

It is estimated that it is a bit reluctant to say that it is home, it is better to say that it is a small forest, some animal skins and reeds are hung around the small trees, blocking the view, and at the same time, some sharpened wooden sticks are also placed around, forming a simple village centered on the small forest.

The village is divided into several buildings that look like houses, there are more than 30 people in total, these people are all dark, unusually short, the highest estimate is not 1.65 meters, the rest is almost 1.4 meters, about 1.5 meters, the dress is also very simple, both men and women, they only have something around the lower body, some are animal skins, some are leaves, but the upper body is smooth, and the women also expose their breasts/rooms outside, but their faces, necks and arms do not know what color is painted, painted colorful, There was a man who looked relatively strong, apparently of high status, and he wore a necklace around his neck, made of animal teeth.

At this time, a few people were skinning the boar, and the other few were building a fire, obviously preparing to eat the food they had just hunted, they talked from time to time, but Lin Bei didn't understand a word.

"These guys are primitive people," Lin Bei sighed, he saw those skinning guys cut the throat of the boar, and then put their mouths up, and drank a mouthful of blood, this kind of thing is extremely disgusting in Lin Bei's opinion, but other people seem to be very envious to watch those people drink blood, Lin Bei can even hear the gurgling sound of swallowing saliva in someone's throat

I couldn't bear to look at it, Lin Bei really couldn't bear to look at it, and quietly circled around this simple village, Lin Bei saw that there was actually a small wooden boat by the river behind him, this small wooden boat was made of hollowing out the heart of the tree with a big tree, and other than that, Lin Bei really didn't find anything valuable.

"These natives are still living a half-haired life and drinking blood, which is really backward" (to be continued......
