Chapter 370: Maritime Log

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! The two built a big boat, brought enough belongings, and then floated all the way across the ocean, Annette likes the sea, but also likes the blue sky, she likes to stand on the deck in the afternoon, basking in the sun, the sea breeze blows, slowly blowing her black hair, this is a good enough afternoon to be pleasant.

On this sea, they did not know the year or month, and the people of a boatload did not know how long they had been floating on the sea, but they leaned on the boat to mark the line as the date, and every day when the sun appeared, they drew a horizontal line on the boat.

Floating in this sea, An Xiuer knew that there is still such a scenery in this world, every morning when the sun rises, it is so beautiful, the whole ocean is red, and the sunset every day is also so beautiful, the sparkling sea water divides the glow reflected in the sea into pieces of broken gold, and even the sun is cut by them.

Occasionally, there are two fish swimming around in the sea, and there is a big fish, like a monster, they have never seen before, they have a huge body, but they have a very docile personality, and like to dance on the ocean.

There is also a kind of fish, which is also a huge body, but the character is very fierce, the big fish eat the small fish, but An Xiu'er and their ships are large, and the fleet is in a row, but there are no sea beasts to invade.

Although floating on this sea, there is nothing, but An Xiuer is still so happy, she likes most when the stars come out at night, the stars on the sea are so beautiful, one by one, the stars are so beautiful, so that the number of people is uncountable.

At night, Zhang Zhenan will also accompany An Xiuer to watch the stars together, the two snuggle up to each other, sometimes look at the stars in the sky, sometimes look at the stars in the sea, sometimes look at the stars in each other's eyes, the atmosphere is exceptionally good, although the two are not young, but this atmosphere will always be as if it was when they were young, Zhang Zhenan is the same as in the past.

Days like this passed day by day, the sea seemed to be really boundless, and the crew on the ship were a little boring, they had seen it in ancient books, saying that the world was a continent, and all around it was surrounded by sea water, but Zhang Zhenan didn't believe it, he counted their food, and he could support another five days.

On the way, they passed some small islands, and went hunting on the sea, so that there was much more food to support their journey.

There was something bulbous on the island, like a keju ball, and the shell was very hard, and when it was smashed open, there was a sweet juice in it, and the crew of the ship called this fruit a keju ball, and they picked a lot of it, and there was fresh water on the island, and they preserved a lot of it.

In addition, there are many wild beasts on the island, as well as poisonous snakes, and many unknown poisons, among which some unknown crew members have died.

An Xiuer writes a diary every day, and when she thinks that others may not have seen these scenes, and remembers the travelogue of Xu Xiake she saw in the past, she plans to write a travelogue herself.

The name of her travelogue is very simple, it is called: "Sea Diary"

After being adrift at sea for too long, sometimes there was nothing to do, she recorded everything on the sea, and sometimes, she would draw some pictures of the sea, the various animals she saw, the sky she saw, and the endless sea.

Zhang Zhenan would sometimes come over to see her, remind her of something, and make deletions on her paintings.

Originally, everyone only prepared food for three months, but because they passed through a lot of islands on the way, they hunted animals on the islands, dried them to make dried meat, and some marine fish in the islands, they would also catch them, cook them with other food, and avoid salt, so they persevered for more than half a year.

This is a very novel experience, An Xiuer has never eaten such strange food, this way, although there are also boring moments, but she also has a lot of novel experiences, at this time, there is her loved one by her side, she even feels that it is dead, but that's all.

She wrote all these feelings in her sea logbook.

Of course, in addition to the windy and sunny days, they also experienced stormy weather, thunder and lightning, and strong winds, and several times, everyone fled from under the clothes of death, so that after more than half a year, they finally saw someone else.

These exotics also saw them, they looked a little timid, afraid of Zhang Zhen'an and others, Zhang Zhen'an's people felt even more novel when they saw these exotics, and the people of Daliang were different from them, they had blue eyes, golden hair, and completely different clothes.

When they saw Zhang Zhen'an's ship coming, they were babbling something, and everyone couldn't understand what they said.

The people on Zhang Zhen'an's side were very happy, they originally came out this time to explore what was on the other side of the sea, but they didn't expect that there were really people on the other side of the sea.

It's just a pity that these people seem to be a little unkind to them, perhaps because they think they have something malicious.

Moreover, their languages were different, and there was no way to communicate, so everyone discussed it and sent some people off the ship first.

The people who disembarked from the boat were all smiling, and they drew pen and paper, and finally made these exotic people put down their harpoons in their hands.

They haven't seen them, they haven't seen them, they think that the people in the world are like themselves, but they don't think that on the other side of the sea, there are people who are different from them, they have different languages, and they have different etiquette from them, but what remains unchanged is their wisdom.

After slowly getting acquainted with them, Zhang Zhenan and the others also slowly learned their language, of course, the fastest to learn was An Xiu'er, she had a good memory, they just said a word, she wrote it down, and then they went to their city and saw more things.

There are completely different foods from them, such as persimmon-like vegetables, red and delicious, Chinese cabbage rolled into a flower, and green onions the size of a woman's fist.

Everything here made Zhang Zhenan and the others feel very novel, and they decided to go to more places.

There were horses in the lands, clothes made of nettles, beautiful silks, and a kind of mirror that could show the subtleties of people.

As they rode all the way, they realized that the language they had learned before was a dialect, and when they arrived at the most prosperous place, their accents were different.

Fortunately, Ahn Xiu'er has a strong learning ability, and learning languages is not very difficult for her, so she became their guide.

There is also delicious wine in this exotic land, in addition, there are many different foods, they even love to drink cow's milk, which in Daqi, adults will not drink, but the people here are very fond of drinking, An Xiuer thinks that cow's milk is very fishy, but they add almonds and cook it together, and the taste is actually good.

Circling around this foreign land, they also met their king, who did not wear dragon robes, and in their minds, dragons were fierce creatures, with sharp teeth, thick tails, limbs, and wings, and they breathed fire, and they were unlucky animals.

However, in Daliang, the dragon rains water for people, and it is a divine beast, and in Daliang, the king of the world, is the true dragon and the son of heaven, and in this foreign land, the gods they believe in are different from theirs.

But they also have a lot of similarities, for example, they both worship strength and love warriors.

At first, Zhang Zhen'an also had conflicts with these foreigners, but Zhang Zhen'an defeated them with his martial arts and won their respect.

After two years of wandering in this foreign land, and seeing almost everything around, everyone was ready to go back.

When they were leaving, they took with them many of the peculiar things of this exotic land, such as the red persimmon-like vegetables, such as green onions bigger than a woman's fist, and the cabbage rolled up in a ball, and all kinds of mirrors.

Of course, in return, they left behind their peculiar silks, as well as fine porcelain, which were especially liked by the nobles here, and their king prepared a lot of food for them, personally sent them to the sea, and even asked them to come back next time.

Back in Daqi, they gave these things to Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, summoned the ministers, and everyone gathered together to listen to their new and interesting journey to the ocean.

As for An Xiu'er's sea log, Fang Yuan also instructed the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to carefully and carefully copy a copy and put it in the royal academy.

Later, there were many great Confucians who wanted to borrow this sea log to read, Zhang Zhen'an was afraid that others would damage this sea log during the transmission, but others wanted to borrow it, so they could only turn to Fang Yuan for help.

Fang Yuan also liked this "Sea Diary" very much, every time he saw this book, he remembered the time when he was young and traveled to Daqi, he was also afraid that in the middle of passing around, this book would be damaged, so he simply asked people to copy hundreds of copies, these Confucian people who wanted to borrow books from him, he simply sent them a copy.

Later, this book was circulated by countless people, and every time someone else circulated it, most people would always re-copy it, and with the circulation of this book, no one yearned for the outside world, and even produced many navigators.

At first, because of the novelty of these vegetables, the price was extremely high, but within a few years, these vegetables began to spread in Daqi, and gradually became the same as other vegetables.
