Chapter 489: Food Crisis
Yue Hengyi saw the movement in the woods in the distance, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Feng, is the mutated banyan tree here?" ”
Shen Feng looked down at the meteorite in his hand, nodded and said, "Probably that's the case, let's go quickly, don't get entangled, let's escape!" ”
If it is a natural rainforest, the strangulation of vines is not so fast, it is all in a month, and now Shen Feng found that the growth rate of vines and aerial roots in the forest is too fast, most of them are mutated banyan trees rushing to take revenge, but also to snatch meteorites, so Shen Feng chose to retreat.
"We're just leaving? What about the people in the tribe? Yue Hengyi couldn't help but ask.
"Don't care about these people, don't talk about stealing things, they are unanimously xenophobic, a bunch of things that don't distinguish between right and wrong, poor mountains and bad waters are like this, and life and death have nothing to do with us!" Shen Feng shrugged and said, next is to go to the mangrove forest.
Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi put the boat in the mangrove forest when they went ashore, the reason why it is called mangrove forest is because many of these trees that grow in the seaside tidal flats have red sap, so they are called mangroves, and generally speaking, animals such as crocodiles and crabs live in mangroves.
When they came to the mangrove forest, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi were silent, because now that the tide had receded, the sailboat had run aground in the woods, and part of the roots of the mangrove forest were on the ground, and the ground was all covered with mud, and the sailboat was quietly staying on the mud at this time.
"How so?" Yue Hengyi asked first.
"The tide is out, wait, and when the tide rises in the evening, the ship will be able to move." Shen Feng shrugged helplessly, he also forgot about the tide problem, during the day, the tide had already receded, and now he couldn't go to sea immediately.
Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi simply lay on the deck, put on sunglasses, and waited for the tide to rise, as for the meteorite, it was placed in the cabin by Shen Feng.
Yue Hengyi asked while fishing for crabs: "Brother Feng, people in Southeast Asia don't seem to be very easy to communicate, they always want to take advantage of us, if they meet natives again in the future, what will we do?" ”
Yue Hengyi's method of fishing crabs is very simple, there are some salted fish on the boat, tear off a piece of salted fish meat and hang it on the hook, the crab will use tongs to clamp after finding food, take advantage of this time, as long as you pull the fishing rod, you can catch the crab, but it is limited to small crabs.
Shen Feng leaned on the deck under the shade of the tree, and said lazily: "I can't do anything to deal with Diao Min, just try not to communicate with them in the future, as for the people here, they are used to taking advantage, and they always think that tourists should accommodate them, don't get used to them." ”
"Aren't you an otaku? How do you know so much about people in Southeast Asia? Yue Hengyi asked.
Shen Feng shrugged his shoulders and replied: "You don't understand this, I'm an otaku, my sister is not, she used to travel here with her friends, and she always told me that tour guides like to cheat money, trick tourists into buying luxury goods or handicrafts, and then the tour guide can also take a cut from these shops." ”
According to Shen Feng's temperament, if he can stay at home, he can stay at home, who likes to run around with nothing to do, that is, in the troubled times, Shen Feng has to go out often, otherwise, Shen Feng can stay at home for a month, and in extreme cases, going out is just to buy necessary living materials.
But Shen Yu is obviously much more cheerful, always like to run around, before graduation and good sisters went to Southeast Asia to travel, but the unfamiliar people were pitted, according to her, when getting off the plane, there were taxis to rip off customers, and when it was time to go shopping, they were taken by the tour guide to buy all kinds of handicrafts, and even children sold flowers and conchs, not to buy, children can chase you from this street to another street.
So, Shen Yu told his family about it after returning home, Shen Feng's impression of the people here is that they steal customers and love to take advantage of small advantages, although it is the end of the world, the result is not
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's not done at all, it seems that taking advantage of small things has long been deeply rooted in their bone marrow.
Yue Hengyi nodded and said, "Since everyone here is like this, then don't deal with it casually, so as not to be taken advantage of." ”
The mangrove forest is still a long distance away from the volcano, but there is smoke rising from the direction of the volcano in the distance, according to what I saw before, it can be speculated that basically the tribe is the most likely to be attacked by the mutant banyan tree, as for how these people deal with the fire, it is not clear, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi sat on the boat and pretended not to see it.
If there was no incident of stealing the meteorite today, Shen Feng might still help solve the danger, after all, in the face of the mutated banyan tree, everyone is a human being, and they should watch and help each other, but Shen Feng now finds that he and this group of people are not all the way, it is obviously the meteorite that he brought back, but it was forcibly stolen, and he refuted himself with words, this is obviously a gang of hooligans, why help them?
Yue Hengyi always couldn't bear it, after all, he had eaten their fruits in the past two days, but his side kept interrogating them, and now the mutant plants appeared, most of them were because he snatched the meteorite, which was also a disaster caused by himself, and it seemed that his side was a little more excessive.
So, thinking about it, Yue Hengyi's heart was a little uneasy.
In the end, when the sea rose and the mangrove forest was also flooded at dusk, Shen Feng lowered the sail and asked Yue Hengyi to untie the rope and use his ability to push the boat towards the sea.
However, at this time, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the woods not far away, these people were in disarray, and dragged their families, some women held their children and kept shouting, and the light at dusk was like blood, shining in the woods even more strangely.
"Two, save us, there are vines chasing us!" Amiz couldn't help but shout when he saw the sailboat that had left the mangrove forest.
For these natives, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi were already their only hope, but they didn't expect why there were mutant plants attacking their tribe all of a sudden, but there was no way to escape in the volcano, and once the exit was blocked, no one wanted to enter and exit casually, so after a bloody battle, only more than 200 people in the tribe escaped, and the rest were all captured by the vines.
Yue Hengyi saw someone asking for help, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Feng, should we help them?" ”
"Don't make trouble for yourself, how can you deal with these plants that are not afraid of flames? I saved them for a while, but what about later? Do they continue to beg us to help them find a new base? Finding the base, do you ask us to protect them? And then, wait until a certain prophet continues to steal from us and continue to slander us? Shen Feng asked directly.
Yue Hengyi couldn't answer, Shen Feng pointed to the golden sea in the distance, and said: "Give me the helm to the north, if you can't see it, you won't be uncomfortable, in the end of the world, being weak is a sin, I can protect the weak, but only for the people under my hands!" ”
The implication is that Shen Feng chose not to be out of sight and out of mind, knowing that these people are facing the threat of death, he will not save them now, who let these people offend him first.
Yue Hengyi was helpless, took over Shen Feng at the helm, and quickly sailed towards the north, taking advantage of the fact that he was leaving the mangrove forest now, if he had to rest for the night, he would have to stay the next morning because of the stranding. It's just that his heart is very unbearable, a group of living people are about to be eaten by mutated plants, but he can't do anything.
At night, Shen Feng lit the stove on the boat and began to barbecue the crabs, the plastic buckets were all filled with crabs caught by Yue Hengyi during the day, this kind of crab was orange-red all over, like the crab boss in the cartoon, wearing it on a skewer for barbecue, it quickly turned red, and when it was cooked, the carapace was broken, and it was full of white crab meat.
Yue Hengyi lowered the anchor and fixed the ship, and then started
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Barbecue, just a little absent-minded.
Shen Feng tacitly didn't mention the affairs of the natives, and when he was full, he went to sleep in the cabin, but Yue Hengyi was lying on the deck, looking at the stars with the sea breeze, and muttered: "If you don't save yourself, this is something I did, what's wrong with me?" Where did my goodness go? ”
After another half a month of sailing, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi finally came to the Philippine Islands, which means that the sea voyage has been halfway through, Shen Feng is very happy, and feels that in the next month, they will be able to reach China, but the luck of the two is over, for the northern hemisphere, it is now time for spring to arrive, the Pacific high pressure has gradually formed, and the southeast monsoon has begun to move towards the north.
The most intuitive manifestation in Southeast Asia is the coming of the rainy season, Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi face heavy rain every day, even if there are many islands here, but it is difficult to find the direction under the vast rain curtain, just relying on the compass to act, it is no longer possible.
At the same time, Shen Feng found that the food on the ship was almost gone, the two big stomachs were eating and drinking on the boat, they didn't know moderation at all, and the daily food consumption was very large, although the two of them were idle and fishing, but it was impossible to fill their stomachs with the fish they caught, and the supplies on the ship were urgent, so the two could only suspend the voyage and prepare to go ashore to find food.
"I looked at the map, I passed through a big volcano, most of this is Mindanao, the island is very large, to the west is Malaysia, and further west is the dark sands of Zengmu, and it is the southernmost tip of China." Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi stayed in the cabin to avoid the rain, there was a stove in the cabin, and Shen Feng was telling where he was.
"Shall we go west, then? Directly from the South China Sea to China? Yue Hengyi asked.
"Come on, the South China Sea is too big, we will get lost if we are not careful, we will go north next, after arriving at Luzon Island, cross the Bass Strait, go to Baodao, and enter Fujian through the strait, if you are lucky, you can reach it in twenty days!" Shen Feng said.
Shen Feng didn't want to take risks at all, after going to the South China Sea, he could only find supplies on the island, but the island was very small, and he would miss it if he was not careful, and there was no navigation on the ship, so it would be all over if he got lost, it was better to be on the safe side, first arrive at the treasure island, eat two catties of pineapples and then reach the mainland, this kind of route will not encounter danger under normal circumstances.
"Gurr, ......" Yue Hengyi's stomach screamed uncontrollably, and when he looked at his pocket, there was only a little bit of flour left, which was not enough to eat at all.
"Brother Feng, go ashore and find something to eat, without food, don't even think about sailing!" Yue Hengyi hurriedly said.
"Okay, go separately to look for it, tow the boat ashore with me, lest it be stolen by others, and when you find food, meet on the boat." Shen Feng was also helpless, as the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. There is no food in his hands, he has no confidence to speak, and he will talk about other things when he is full.
Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi got off the boat with raincoats, first of all, they worked together to drag the boat to the shore, so that the boat was not in the water, and it was basically impossible for ordinary people to drive the boat away.
Shen Feng thought about it, walked to the north, Yue Hengyi walked to the east, there were rainforests on both sides, and after entering the rainforest, you could still see many animals sheltering from the rain, there were frogs and snakes, and even centipedes. Shen Feng wasn't sure if he could eat these things, although Hong Qigong often ate centipedes, but that was only the plot inside, and he still didn't dare to eat them.
"Hey, there's a fire, that means, someone?" Suddenly, Shen Feng saw a firelight appear in the distance, and hurriedly walked in to observe, and found that there was a firelight in a bungalow here, and through the window, he could see that there were more than a dozen people in the room, eating at the table.
"Since you want to avoid dealing with each other, then don't communicate, go to the kitchen and have a look!" Shen Feng didn't intend to alarm the gang, so he chose to go around the kitchen to have a look.
