Chapter 701: Don't Rob Me!
A straw rope quickly knotted in Shao Xuan's hand.
Duo Kang and Guangyi looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan to speak.
Shao Xuan looked at the epilogue on the straw rope and showed a relaxed look, "The day after tomorrow will be fine, it's a good day." ”
Through the knotted rope divination, Shao Xuan interpreted the result of the divination, and the day after tomorrow is a good time to leave.
Winter is almost over, they can't really wait for the winter to really end before leaving, that is too rushed, many times, the beasts in the mountains and forests react faster than them, so it's always good to prepare in advance.
"Then I'll go and inform the people of the Long Boat and the Tay River. Excitedly, Dokang got up from the hide and rushed out of the hut. I went to find the leader of the Longboat tribe first, after all, if you want to leave, you have to convince them.
The people of the Longboat tribe are indeed good at observing celestial phenomena, and in the past, they were making decisions about this kind of thing, but now on this, the people of Yanjiao are of course more inclined to Shao Xuan's choice, and even Mu You, who is good at observing celestial phenomena from the Longboat tribe, did not squeak after learning that it was Shao Xuan's decision.
"Then set off the day after tomorrow and inform everyone that they are ready to leave!"
Leaving the woodcut here, Dokang also went to the other side of the Tay River to inform him of this decision.
The camp suddenly became lively, like a hibernating animal waking up from its slumber, moving its muscles and preparing to do a great job.
On the day of leaving, the originally continuous gloomy sky suddenly cleared, although the moon can not be seen at night now, and the winter has not officially passed, but the time is calculated, it is also fast, and the rare good weather also makes everyone feel that winter seems to leave early.
"Ready to go home!"
The ice on the coast has been broken in advance, and the ship will not be hindered by the ice, and the ice is quite thick. A little further from the coast, or near the crocodile river, there is no ice. It's not a big threat.
Twenty-five boats, each of which had more than a hundred Tay people, some more on board, some less. Five more ships. But it's still slightly crowded. In addition to the people of the Tay River, there were various supplies on board.
Of the 25 ships, five of them had a different appearance from the other 20, and they were made into five test ships after consulting with his high-tech personnel. The stronger aggressiveness is evident from the appearance, most notably the projection windows, where arrows or spears are thrown, are more arrogant in appearance.
These five ships, the logging, were not prepared to be used for too long. The reason why they were used as test ships was because the shipbuilding timber of these five ships was not able to be processed more perfectly due to time and conditions.
Generally speaking, when they build ships, they dry the wood in advance, or use the kiln drying method to dry the wood in the kiln. But there were no kilns here, so the logging was secondary. With smoke drying, this method is simpler, at first because it is not very suitable for the wood situation here, a lot of wood is damaged, and then there is experience, so there is no more problem. It's just that the wood from the drying will be darker, so the five new ships built here are noticeably darker than the other twenty.
It's not pretty, but it works.
Of course. Even if the wood has been dried, but because of the limited conditions, the amount of wood is too large, and the drying effect is far from meeting the requirements of logging, but now the situation is different, they are in a hurry to leave, and there is not much time to specialize in drying wood, but fortunately, even if these ships can't hold out for too long, it is completely okay to support them to go back.
Later, when they expanded their fleet and went to sea, they found a suitable place, built a larger camp, and built a large kiln to dry timber.
Mu Felling felt that he was full of energy, and he just wanted to go back soon, and tell the people in the tribe about what happened here, they were just the first people to explore first, compared to the previous team of the Longboat tribe traveling far away, the number of people was much smaller, but after a trip, the nature was different, their longboat tribe will gradually shift its focus, no longer quarrel with other tribes in the inland place for a little, they don't have that time to spare.
The trade routes on the sea are opened by their longship tribes!
Leaving the continent where their ancestors began to live, the people of the Tai River looked at the distant scenery, and they were quite emotional, of course, it was only a temporary emotion, they were the tribes that fused the fire, and there were definitely a lot of migrations in history, and the mood of leaving a place would be reluctant, but it was not so strong, as long as they felt that it would be better in the future, that complex reluctance would soon fade away.
When there are more people, it is impossible to rely on the supplies carried on the boat all the time, and as long as there is time, the people on the boat will try to catch some small sea fish from the water for food, sometimes with nets, sometimes directly with fishing.
The medicine made in advance also avoided the occurrence of some diseases, which was as early as when he went to sea, Shao Xuan reminded him of the wood felling, and he was still very grateful to Shao Xuan for this wood felling, after all, the rich experience of their Changzhou tribe in the past was limited to the inland rivers, and the rivers were still far different from the sea.
Like when I came, when I returned, I also encountered bad weather, and many people from the Taihe tribe were not adaptable, and after surviving it, they could only take medicine every day after a few days of sluggishness.
Seiichi sometimes goes into the water, even if the sea is still relatively cold at this time, but he has swam in the frozen river and sea before departure, and he doesn't care about this place, the only thing to guard against is those dangerous creatures in the sea.
On this day, it was another sunny day.
The sea was calm, except for gusts of wind that were not strong.
"Whew-"
The eagle chirping in the sky startled Shao Xuan, who was looking at the map, and climbed to the observation platform on the mast with a telescope and looked into the distance.
"What's going on?" asked Mu Fell.
There is only one telescope, and no matter how good Mu Yuan's eyesight is, the less it can compare to the mountain eagle and the telescope.
Shao Xuan looked into the distance and didn't see the dangerous sea beast, but he found that there were many fragments, fragments of ice!
"There's a lot of ice up ahead, pay attention!"
I didn't encounter icebergs, and I don't know where the ice came from, large and small, there were a lot of them, but probably because of the continuous melting, the size of the ice did not pose much threat to the ship.
The logging slowed people down, and as the ice floe got closer, he realized that there was something in the ice!
I took the net, fished up the ice floe, and carefully distinguished it, only to find that there was a bug in the ice, similar to the kind of beetle, the size of a fist, I don't know what kind of bug it is, I haven't seen it.
In the past, logging would not have been of interest to these beetles, but now it's different, it's found at sea!
Who knows if it's something in the sea?
Doesn't look like it?
How do you know it's not in the sea?
"Catch it up! Catch it all up, take it back to show the people in the tribe a fresh one!" After a pause, remembering something, Mu Shu said to Shao Xuan's side again: "Don't rob me!"
The Yanjiao people were not interested in it, but when they saw the wood felling like this, they became interested.
Pointing to the ice cubes that looked like they were frozen, Dokang shouted to the people in the Flame Corner, "Catch a few and have a look!" (To be continued.) )
