268 Xu Mei's diary
Her brain was completely relaxed, and Xu Yue began to read the letter.
[February 18, cloudless, 7 p.m.]
Today is the tenth day after departing from Beihai, the big ship went in the wrong direction, and did not arrive in Xuzhou as originally planned, but arrived at Lelang in Liaoxi County.
The people here speak a completely different language from the Central Plains, but fortunately, some of the students had learned the ethnic dialects around Liaoxi County from Mr. Guangluhai, and after a fierce language exchange, Wei, who was ready to detain our big ship, let everyone go.
At this moment, I replayed in my mind what had happened during the day, and I guessed that the only reason why everything was so smooth was because they were afraid of the steel knives in our hands.
Because in terms of toughness, sharpness, and hardness, the remnants of iron in their hands that seem to have been left over from the time of the first emperor have no combat effectiveness at all.
The force value, at this moment, gives the players a great sense of security, and I will continue to strengthen physical training and strive not to hold the players back.
[On the first day of April, dark clouds and light rain, one o'clock at noon]
It's been a long time since I left the Levon Wai Clan's territory, but I still think of the women and children from time to time.
The women and children who live on the shore of Lelang are very thin and dark-skinned, and they should have been exposed to the sun all year round to tan, most of them are afraid of life and do not communicate with the living, but they will quietly look at us in hidden corners.
The living standard of the Wei clan here is very low, and even a little uncivilized in ancient times, they still revere the god of fire and water, and have a kind of blind worship of fire and water.
In the year of calamity, they would offer sacrifices to the gods of the sea and fire with their children to pray for good weather and good weather, which seems to us to be very foolish.
The sea is in front of them, the vast resources are in front of them, but they don't know how to use them.
Fortunately, the child who was to be sacrificed was saved by the team.
We taught them how to build ships, how to make fishing rods, weave nets, take them to fish in the sea, tell them what kind of fish to eat, how to judge danger and poison.
The rescued child thanked us by giving us his most precious salt.
He also gave me a white conch alone to the doctor who helped him check his health and helped him get rid of a roundworm by the way.
This child's name is Wei Xu, and after he asked my name, he gave himself such a name, and this is a very cute boy.
Speaking of salt, this side is close to the sea, but there is no salt farm, and the nearest salt mine is far away from the Wei clan, on the territory of another clan.
However, the refining technology of that tribe is very backward, so most of the border people here rely on caravan trade.
Boss Gongsun said that he had never been to this place, because the cost and cost of going from overland to Lelang were too great, and the business was not worth doing.
However, there are still many caravans formed by hawkers who are not afraid to work hard to transport goods in order to make a living.
In general, although the border people on Lelang's side have disobeyed the control of the imperial court, they are not a threat to the Central Plains, and to deal with them, they only need to give them a little benefit.
[April 28th, sunny after rain, 9:15 a.m.]
Last night was a thrilling night, so much so that it was too late to record anything.
Fortunately, the situation is now calm and the crisis has passed.
At the moment, I sat in the calm cabin, still with lingering palpitations.
We encountered a storm last night, and the inexperience of the team members, coupled with the confusion of the old crew members about the unfamiliar sea area, and the wrong judgment of the weather, we encountered the biggest storm since we set off.
In the storm, the big ship was like a rolling mixer, which knocked us to the ground, and the seasickness of Xu Qian and others had been cured, but yesterday, they vomited and almost lost their combat effectiveness.
If an enemy had attacked, we would have died.
Last night, all kinds of dangers followed, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Xu Nai remembered the giant banner Jin Guangyao sent by the master.
The giant banner was shaken open by twenty people, and in the storm, it hung on the mast with difficulty, and in an instant, the golden light triumphed, tore a hole in the darkness, and led the crew from the center of the storm safely.
Afterwards, everyone looked at the messy boat, and then they knew that the master's immortal art turned out to be so powerful!
[On the first day of the fifth month, the sky is fine, half past six in the evening]
We have landed smoothly, but this is not Jiaozhou.
We stopped at the seashore with a dense primeval forest behind us, and there was no trace of anyone ever setting foot on it.
However, when the team members made a fire on the beach and the smoke was raised, many hairy 'people' came out of the forest.
They hid behind the palm trees and watched them with wide eyes, fierce and aggressive.
They held stone spears and wooden arrows in their hands, men and women, put their hands to their chins and barked at us with warnings.
At this time, we were very experienced, and we all knew how to deal with these uncivilized human beings—they were indeed human beings, and the more primitive they were, the more superstitious they became.
Xu Rong took out the water bladder and demonstrated it to them, and the continuous flow of water made those people look horrified.
Immediately after that, Xu Nai was mischievous again, using a black box to take things out of thin air, coupled with the shining and sharp blades in everyone's hands, these people all knelt down, and knelt on the ground and whispered something, as if they were kneeling down to worship the gods.
[On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the sky is fine]
We have been on this strange island for five days, and we were supposed to leave on the second and third days of the new year, provided that we could replenish enough fresh water.
No one died in the storm of the previous day, but we lost two iron buckets, and the violently shaking hull caused the buckets filled with fresh water to topple, and we still failed to protect these precious artifacts.
Third Miss, if you are reading the letter at the moment, please do not disappoint us.
[The sixth day of May, heavy rain]
After investigating, we learned a lot from the local indigenous mouths.
The local natives call the island "Gao" because there are many high mountains on the island, and they also call themselves the Gaoshan people, who believe in a variety of ghosts and gods - in fact, there is no unified faith, and they like to use human sacrifice.
The team members went deep into their station, and in front of the humble village, they saw a tower of human heads piled high.
The team members were so frightened that Boss Gongsun immediately told everyone to leave quickly, so the first close contact with the local aborigines ended in failure.
Fortunately, we replenished fresh water.
And after the team's careful calculations in the past few days, we roughly know the location of the island.
This should be on the opposite side of the junction of Yangzhou and Jiaozhou coasts, because there are no big ships, this island is isolated from the mainland, and no outsiders have set foot in it for thousands of years.
