"Here we come! We come!" Following the cheers of the crowd on the pier, several long masts suddenly appeared on the distant sea surface, and then several long sails appeared on the sea surface, and as the distance approached, they became larger and larger. Get taller and taller.However, those with good eyesight can quickly find that the sails in the distance are colorful, and many places are patched, which looks like a beggar's outfit.

After a while, the fleet in the distance finally jumped out from below the sea level, fully presenting itself in front of Li Yin and the others, but when everyone saw the appearance of this fleet, they all felt sorry for them. Qi, because the appearance of this fleet is really miserable. There are only a dozen large ships left in the entire fleet. Not only are the sails patched, but the hull is also tattered. With cracks and patched planks, it can be said that these ships are almost on the verge of being scrapped.

When the family members of the crew from Luzon saw the miserable appearance of the fleet, many people cried on the spot, because they all knew that two years was not enough to make the fleet look like this, unless they met A big storm, and in the storm, the fleet must have suffered considerable casualties, that is to say, their relatives probably did not come back with the fleet.

Li Yin and the others also sank in their hearts, and most of them were also guessing about the casualties of the fleet, and the atmosphere on the pier fell silent for a while.

Lu Wan's fleet quickly entered the port, and the pilot boat guided them into the berth. At this time, everyone, including Li Yin, stepped forward to welcome them.Capital Datang 677

At this time, people on the boat also leaned out from the side of the ship to look down. As a result, several family members recognized their relatives and began to call out loudly. They were even more anxious, running back and forth between a dozen large ships.Looking for his family.

Li Yin came to the main ship of the fleet. He knew this ship called Universal. It was an ocean-going ship ordered by the official shipyard in Taiwan after Lu Wan explored the second route of Perfect Continent. They are all Lu Wan's ships.It's just that the Universal ship in front of me is dilapidated, with scratches everywhere on the hull, and there are traces of repairs, and even a small piece of the stern is missing.Although it does not affect navigation, it is very unsightly.

While Li Yin and the others were looking at the Universal, they saw a flash of people on board, and finally someone started to walk towards the ship.According to the rules, the first person to disembark should be the person with the highest status on board.That is Captain Lu Wan.Today's situation was no exception. While Li Yin and others were waiting, Captain Lu Wan was the first to get off the boat.

But when Li Yin and the others saw Lu Wan, they were all stunned, because although Lu Wan was smiling, he was leaning on a crutch in his right hand, and a gust of sea breeze blew past.Blow up the hem of his clothes so that everyone can see that the place where Lu Wan's right leg should have been is now empty.

"Grassmen see Your Majesty!" Lu Wan stepped off the boat with a cane.He bowed to Li Yin.

"Lu Wan, your leg?" Li Min hurriedly supported Lu Wan and asked with great concern.Now that they were getting closer, Li Yin realized that not only was Lu Wan missing a right leg.And the whole person is also very thin, and his complexion is a little pale.It looks like losing a leg has taken a toll on his body.

"Your Majesty, it's just a leg. It's nothing compared to those brothers who died at the bottom of the sea!" Lu Wan said with a somewhat silent expression. His words also confirmed the previous guesses of Li Yin and others. Lu Wan and the others must have suffered a huge disaster this time.

"Husband~" At this moment, Lu Wan's old wife couldn't bear it anymore, and regardless of the fact that Li Yin was talking to Lu Wan, she threw herself on Lu Wan's chest and cried bitterly. The children are also very sad.In addition, at this time, the list of some dead crew members was also announced by other crew members, which caused the family members of these crew members to cry.

Originally, Li Yin had already prepared a banquet to welcome Lu Wan and the others, but he did not expect such an accident to happen, and he didn't care about receiving the news at the moment, so he hurriedly arranged for the crew and family members to meet and talk at the place of residence, first to stabilize the emotions of the family members Besides.In this way, in the afternoon, Lu Wan and some high-level personnel of the crew came to meet Li Yin, and then told them about their experiences in the past two years.

It turned out that two years ago, after Lu Wan and the others separated from Li Ke, they followed a southward current to near the equator of the Atlantic Ocean, where they found a current leading to America. This made the entire fleet very excited, and immediately Travel to America by ship.

At the beginning, they went very smoothly, but what they didn't expect was that because they were not familiar with the climate of the Atlantic Ocean, this time happened to be the season of high incidence of typhoons in the Atlantic Ocean, but the typhoons here were called hurricanes in later generations.

It is precisely because of this that when Lu Wan and the others were about to reach America, they suddenly encountered a big storm. The waves at that time were several feet high. If it weren't for the fact that their big ships were all specially made, they were very stable If so, it is estimated that they were all overturned in that big storm.

Although the storm was strong, fortunately, Lu Wan and the members of the fleet were all experienced. Before the storm reached its maximum, Lu Wan made a decisive decision, abandoned some small boats that could not withstand the wind and waves, and gathered all the crew members. to the big ship.It was also his decision that caused the fleet to lose almost all of the medium-sized ships, but the casualties were not very serious. Except for a dozen crew members who were swept away by the storm, others were injured at most, and it was worth paying attention to. What's more, Lu Wan's leg was still intact at this time.

However, after this storm, more than a dozen large ships in the fleet also suffered great damage. Some ships were even hit by the blown rocks, and several large holes were broken in the hull. Fortunately, the crew tried their best to repair them, so the ships did not sink. And reluctantly continued sailing to America.

The following journey did not encounter any big storms, and the fleet also smoothly arrived at an archipelago very close to the American continent, and there were two rather large islands in these archipelago.Later, Li Yin looked at the chart provided by Lu Wan and the others, and realized that this archipelago is located in the Caribbean Sea of ​​later generations.

Lu Wan and the others stayed on the island for quite a long time, mainly to repair the damage to the ships in the storm. At the same time, they also had contact with the indigenous people on the island. The language of these people belonged to the same language family as the Mayan language, although Liu Kata, the language master, is not on the fleet, but there are other translators who understand the Mayan language in the fleet, so it is not difficult to communicate.

The aborigines on the island call themselves the Arawa people. They came to the island from the Americas in small boats hundreds of years ago to settle down. The civilization of these Arawa people is very backward, and they have no concept of a country. They are even more backward than the Mayans. A lot, but they were very friendly to Lu Wan and the others, and exchanged a lot of food with the fleet for daily necessities such as porcelain and cotton cloth.

Lu Wan and the others already had experience in contact with Americans, and there was no problem with language communication, so they also got some very useful information from the Aravas, such as the annual climate of the Atlantic Ocean, and some islands in the Caribbean Sea distribution etc.However, the natives on these islands rarely communicate with the natives on the American continent, so they know very little about the situation in America, not even as much as Lu Wan and the others.

After staying in this archipelago for a period of time, the injured ships in the fleet were barely repaired, and they headed west again. As a result, they finally reached the east coast of America. Coincidentally, they Even directly reached the birthplace of the Mayans - the Yucatan Peninsula.Capital Datang 677

The Yucatan Peninsula is a prominent rectangular peninsula on the east coast of Central America. The north of the peninsula is the Gulf of Mexico, and the southeast is the Caribbean Sea.The peninsula is rich in corn, sugar cane and cocoa, etc. At the same time, it is also the birthplace of the Mayans. The peninsula is full of Mayan city-states. When Lu Wan and the others first arrived in America, they saw the Mayans in the city of Chola. Their city was originally located on this peninsula.

At the beginning, Lu Wan and the others didn't know that the coast they docked was the Yucatan Peninsula. They just randomly found a beach to dock along the wind direction, and then sent a small team ashore, hoping to find someone who could communicate with them. Americans, and ask them how far is it from the west coast of America?It would be best if the other party knew about Jola City or Lu Wangang.

But what Lu Wan and the others didn't expect was that after their fleet docked, they searched near the coast for several days, but they didn't even find a single person. They even found a small village not far from the coast. But the whole village was deserted.

And what's even more strange is that Lu Wan and the others found that many houses in the village had a lot of moldy and spoiled grains, and even a small amount of grains were still edible because they were well preserved, and some daily necessities were there, but they didn't see them. A single figure, as if the people in the whole village were in some serious danger, so they moved away in a hurry, and they didn't even take away all the food.

Faced with this situation, Lu Wan and the others felt a little unbelievable. Judging from the style of the temple in the middle of the village and the words in the temple, this village should be a village inhabited by the Mayans.Moreover, in the temple, there were several corpses who died due to blood sacrifices. Judging from the decay of these corpses, the village was still inhabited at least half a year ago.

Faced with such an empty village, although Lu Wan and the others were puzzled, they did not delve too deeply into it. After all, they were not detectives, and they also got some useful information from here, such as here It is the territory of the Mayans, so you should be able to inquire about some useful news.

However, what Lu Wan and the others did not expect was that they landed several times on the Yucatan Peninsula by boat, and even found a small city by the sea, but no matter whether it was a village or a city, they were all empty. , It seems that all the Mayans have disappeared, until they came to the south side of the peninsula and found a city that should be the largest nearby, they finally understood the truth about the disappearance of the Mayans!
