Wang Xika and Meng Jianniang were woken up by Xiaolan and Xiaohong, and when they woke up, they saw that it was high tide. Their tents were set up on the beach, and they didn't take into account the influence of the tide, and when the tide rose, they were almost swept into the sea with their tents.

Wang Xijia hurriedly packed his luggage that was beaten everywhere by the waves, and while packing, he thought that it made sense that few people camped on the beach.

As soon as they were almost cleaned up, Little Blue and Little Red began to be irritable again, these two animals had always been very well-behaved. Wang Xijia had learned before that when animals are abnormal, there may be some disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., and he was thinking about whether there was going to be a tsunami, when he suddenly saw a person on the sea in the distance who was walking in his direction, and looked at the original 7 or 8 people behind the person, and several of them were stepping on something, like surfing.

Wang Xika also stepped on a surfboard to rush through the waves before crossing, but they were all single snowboards, and I had never seen such a few people surfing on a board. When those people followed the waves to the offshore, Wang Xika was surprised to find that those people were not stepping on surfboards, but a blue whale more than 30 meters long!

The blue whale shook its head and tail, trying to shake off the person on its back, but couldn't. After a while, the whale dived to the bottom again, trying to drown the people on its back, but the people seemed to be welded to the whale's back, and they just refused to come down. Finally the blue whale was tamed by the man on its back and swam towards the beach. As the water became shallower, the blue whale's movements became more and more difficult. Finally, a wave came, and the whale ran aground in front of Wang Xijia.

The people on the back of the whale let out a cheer and jumped down, and several people stood on the side of the whale, riding a wave and turning the blue whale upside down. Wang Xijia was taken aback: this blue whale weighs more than 100 tons, and just 7 or 8 people can turn it up, and the strength of these people is no less than that of the Mao people who were wiped out.

The men took out a few leather bags and worked on the whale's belly for half a while, and the leather bags gradually bulged - a few people were milking the whale.

Wang Xijia didn't expect that the whale milk he heard in Zecheng was true, so he stepped forward to talk to them: "Is your milk sold to Boss Du in Zecheng?"

The milkman looked up at Wang Xika: "Do you know Boss Du?"

Wang Xika smiled and started talking with the whale milkmen.

To make it easier to swim, the whale milkers all shaved their heads and wore flippers on their feet. Wang Xika is very strange why there is such a thing as fins in this era, and after a closer look, I found that this is not the fins worn by modern people for swimming, this is the real web, which grows on them.

Wang Xijia was shocked in his heart, it is said that at a certain stage of human evolution, human beings lived in the sea, and they took off their body hair in order to facilitate swimming.

Whether it is a kappa in the east, a water monkey or an Atlantean legend in the west, there are many records about this amphibious man, but in Wang Xijia's time, this kind of human being was also gone, and I don't know if it was extinct or what's going on.

Since the crossing, Wang Xika can be regarded as having seen the world, whether it is a werewolf or a hairy man, he can talk and laugh, so naturally he will not be too surprised by this amphibious person.

The first amphibian introduced himself as "A Snake", and Wang Xijia didn't know if it was a transliteration of "Arthur", maybe this guy was a sea king. Ah Snake chatted for a while, took out an oilcloth bag from his body, and when he opened the oilcloth bag, it was half a pack of leaf cigarettes and a fire fold.

"I was busy catching fish in the morning, and I didn't smoke a cigarette, and I was suffocated," Snake said. After saying that, he lit a cigarette, and the scene was spectacular: the nostrils, mouth, and two cheeks were all smoking together, and it looked like a seven-hole smoke.

Looking at the happy energy of the snake, Wang Xijia thought to himself that maybe the two people were not afraid of lung cancer, anyway, if the lungs were not good, could they still rely on their cheeks. Wang Xijia has never seen anyone smoke since the crossing, after all, tobacco is something native to the American continent, and Ah Snake may have been to the Americas.

Wang Xijia was about to have a good chat with Ah Snake, and saw from a distance that Boss Du of the coffee shop came in a carriage himself. Sure enough, he came to buy whale milk. Ah Snake settled the account with Boss Du, and with a wave of his hand, several other amphibious people pushed it again, and turned the whale over, waiting for the waves to come and push the whale back to the sea. A snake beckoned to Boss Du and Wang Xijia, jumped on the back of the whale and disappeared.

"How many days does your whale milk last?" asked Wang Xika.

"Generally, it's only two days, at most three days, and it's easy to break down after a long time. Boss Du replied.

Wang Xijia thought that when he had the opportunity, he should ask Carpenter Liu to get a refrigerator over, otherwise it would be a pity for these whale milks. He suddenly thought of a delicious dairy product - cream.

Whale milk is so rich in fat, it must be delicious to make cream. Wang Xijia personally made a small cup of cream, and taught Boss Du how to make homemade cream. Boss Du is grateful, it turns out that in this era, many cooking tips are the secret of passing on men and not women, Wang Xijiaken passed on the recipe of homemade cream, which is undoubtedly the greatest trust in himself in Boss Du's opinion. In order to express his gratitude, Boss Du said that in the future, Wang Xijia will come to drink coffee, and he will be discounted by 20%.

Wang Xijia was very strange where Boss Du's coffee came from, and Boss Du said that it was sold by a Hongmaoyi on the island. When she first crossed over to this era, the first cup of coffee that Meng Jianniang gave herself was sold by the "Hongmaoyi" on the mountain, and it seems that there should be a group of red-haired coffee merchants in this era.

Boss Du was busy with business, and after chatting a few words, he was about to leave, and asked Wang Xika if he would go back to Zecheng with him, Wang Xika wanted to stay by the sea for two more days, so he refused.

"Will those amphibious people come tomorrow?" Before leaving, Wang Xijia asked Boss Du a few questions that he was interested in.

"What amphibians?"

"It's the ones who milk the whales. ”

"Oh, you said cheeks, yes, they're going to come here the day after tomorrow to milk the cows, we've made an appointment. Boss Du said as he waved his hand.

It turns out that the scientific name of these amphibians is gills, which is quite realistic, these people do have gills. After bidding farewell to Boss Du, Wang Xika began to get down to business - drawing maps. He hadn't actually studied mapping, but he knew how to draw the path he had traveled. Another is that Wang Xika is ready to inspect the rubber forest encountered on the road.

Rubber is a good thing, it can be used to make shoes, tires or something, but human beings can not learn the use of rubber until about the 19th century, this rubber forest in the 5th and 60th centuries B.C., who planted it? Rubber is native to South America, and the land where he is in is obviously not like South America, and who brought rubber seeds? Wang Xika feels that something is wrong the more he goes, this rubber forest covers a large area, there should be thousands of acres, and every tree has a rubber bowl, which must have been planted artificially, but no one has come to collect the rubber. And all the wheels I saw in this era were made of wood, the soles were either cloth or straw sandals, and I had never seen any rubber products, what were these rubber planted for?

Wang Xijia regretted a little that he didn't ask Boss Du for clarification just now. He knew that cutting rubber was usually in the morning, so he was going to continue surveying the coastline first, and when someone came to collect the rubber in the morning, he asked if he could buy some rubber to make tires.
