wild trail

Chapter 374

After sailing northwestward for half a day, the expedition ship finally arrived at the small island that had been covered with snow.

After all the two ships docked, the expedition team stepped out of the cabin and quickly boarded the island.

There was no fire on board, and after enduring the cold for more than half a month, we found this small island. After the captain gave an order, the team members rushed into the island, felled trees frantically, and searched for dry wood. When the fire was lit, the team members felt that they were about to freeze to death.

And those dinosaur captives received the food distributed by humans. Although their bodies were still weak, they showed no sign of death.

Creatures like dinosaurs are not cold-blooded animals. Dinosaurs like Shi Lunjia should be similar to birds, and their ability to withstand cold is no different from humans. At this moment, although they are wrapped in thick clothes and sitting in the cold On the ground, already shivering with cold.

In the Ice Age, even the Mexican region of the Americas was a scene of ice and snow in winter, and the area of ​​the Arctic Circle was much larger than the Earth in another world.

Although the Shi Lunjia Empire also has this kind of cold weather, but on this deserted island, there is no shelter, the sea breeze is biting, and the body temperature is much lower than Shi Lunjia's winter.

At dusk, although the expedition team did not finish setting up the camp, they found a leeward hillside. More than 1000 people gathered together and lit a fire. A dozen soldiers sat around the fire, relying on their body temperature to communicate with each other. keep warm.

Those dinosaur captives are very strange that humans don't kill themselves, and they don't communicate with themselves. They don't know what their real purpose is.

Even if they are brought back to the human country, these people themselves are just soldiers and craftsmen, so what is the use of them?

The captives spent every day in fear, wondering if they would survive to see the sun the next day.

In the middle of the night, the north wind howled, and heavy snow fell from the sky like goose feathers. Although this hillside could block some cold weather, the snowy and windy night still caused some expedition members to suffer from frostbite to varying degrees.

The heavy snow that fell all night in the early morning has stopped, but the sky is still gray, and some snowflakes will fall from the sky from time to time.

The city has been completely covered by snow, and the snow on the trees even broke some branches. Is there a sound of trees falling in the jungle?

The expedition members woke up from their sleep, shook off the snow on their bodies, and gathered those injured companions.

In order to prevent the occurrence of non-combat attrition, the captain ordered the team members to give priority to setting up tents for these frostbitten team members.

The wounded were moved into tents, where several doctors took turns caring for them.

The arrival of winter seems to have plunged this small island into dead silence.

Except for the howling wind, not even a bird's cry was heard, and no animal was seen.

The soldiers from the north knew that with the arrival of winter, the animals would hibernate and hibernate. According to their experience, the weather in this laughing road was similar to that in the north, and so should the animals here.

Without animals, it would be impossible to replenish what was consumed.

Although some supplies were replenished at Nitpeter Island when returning to the voyage, these supplies can hold on for another month.

This deserted island does not know how far it is from the mainland, and this little food is not enough to last until the arrival of spring.

If they hadn't returned to the mainland before the food ran out, the expedition was in dire straits.

Looking at the vast sea, the captain was worried. This small island could only be used as a place for wartime repairs. After the crew recovered, they had to brave the severe cold and continue to move forward.

He Tie wrapped the animal skins around his body, carried the dry wood on his back, cursed the damn weather, rubbed his numb hands and walked towards the camp.

The camp has basically been set up, and tents have been set up one after another.

After collecting the wood, the expedition team huddled up in the tent, drinking spirits to warm their almost frozen bodies.

An expedition member beside He Tie, seeing him in a daze, elbowed him and said, "He Heizi, what are you thinking about?"

"No... didn't think about it, do you think we can go back alive?" He Tie said worriedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course we can go back. This time our mission has been completed, and we can get a lot of rewards when we go back. When I go ashore, I will go to a brothel to find some women. Damn, even in this place I can't even see the mother, you fucking bastard, I'm about to suffocate to death."

"This is the money we bought with our lives, are you willing to spend it on the bellies of girls?" He Tie asked puzzled.

The expedition member took a serious look at He Tie and said, "What are we earning money for? It's not for spending it. Who knows if we can go back alive after leaving the ship? Damn, if you don't spend all the money, why don't you keep it after you die?" For the mother-in-law at home, I died, she patted my ass and remarried, and she took my money and went to have fun with other wild men, it's so fucking aggrieved."

He Tie was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing whether what he said was right or wrong, he sighed and said, "I still want to save more money, my son will be old enough to go to school in a few years, although going to Daxia Academy doesn't cost money, But I have to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and those books. I still think that a high-ranking official will be born in my family. We will be like this in this life. After death, it is not a thing for a high-ranking official to visit my grave Is there a reconciliation?"

After the rest of the people listened, they all showed contemptuous expressions.

"Heizi, you think about this every day. What do you expect you to do? Anyone with arms and legs can be an official. When I was fighting in the north, if the army hadn't been disarmed, in a few years I would be at least ten years old. Believe it or not, the second team is even the general manager."

After this person finished speaking, the rest of the people had expressions of disbelief.

"Forget it, when you were training in the military camp, you were regarded as the general manager. If you became the general manager, the brothers and you would have been fucking dead."

He Tie couldn't help but smile when he heard the noisy voices of his companions, and stared blankly at the fire.

Yancheng.

Since Wu Feng met Miss Lin's family that day, he has been in a state of being out of his mind every day.

Seeing her son always sitting in front of the desk in a daze every day, Wu Feng's mother was very worried.

"Feng, what's the matter with you these days."

Wu Feng came back to his senses and said, "Mom, I'm fine."

"All right? I don't think you've eaten much these days."

"Mother, I'm going out for a walk, and I won't come back for dinner."

"The imperial court will soon conduct scientific examinations, why are you walking around?" Mother Wu said dissatisfied.

"It's okay, I know those things, don't talk about it, I'll go first." After speaking, Wu Feng left the house in a hurry.

Wu Feng, who was full of thoughts, walked towards the street before.

Habitually came to that small shop, this location happened to be able to see the door of the Lin family.

"Student, did you see the girl from the Lin family last time?" the shopkeeper jokingly approached Wu Feng.

When Wu Feng heard the words, his face turned red inexplicably, and he said falteringly: "See... I see you."

"I've seen what happened that day. You scholars just don't feel happy. Back then, when Xia Kingdom hadn't been established, at tribal gatherings, men fell in love with that woman and fought with others directly. If they won, they would take the woman away. , how can I trouble you like this, just say that I am a woman, I just fell in love with her at the beginning, I went up and asked her how to have a baby with me, and she agreed right away, the man has to hurry up." The shopkeeper is proud Said.

The woman who was busy in the shop couldn't help but glared at him when she heard her man bragging about the past.

Wu Feng smiled. Wu Feng also experienced what the shopkeeper said when he was a child. Thinking of those scenes at that time, Wu Feng felt extremely embarrassed. After learning the principles of male and female defense in books, now looking back, the Humans are indeed savages.

The society is different now, and it will definitely not work to use the original method. After reading the love stories in the myths and legends in the books, young people will inevitably have different ideas, thinking that the two people who are married should be two lovers. To please each other, not just to reproduce.

As those performers sing in the New Year's show, the birds on the tree are in pairs
, green water and green mountains with a smiling face
, pick a flower at random

, my wife and I wear a hairdresser
, no longer suffer from that slavery
, the husband and wife both returned home
, you plow the field and I weave
, I'll fetch water to water your garden
, although the cold kiln is broken, it can withstand the wind and rain

, the love between husband and wife is bitter and sweet
, you and I are like mandarin ducks
, Flying together in the world.

"Uncle, shouldn't husbands and wives use affection to maintain bonds?" Wu Feng said slowly.

The shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "I don't understand what is emotional or not, but my mother-in-law and I didn't have any emotional feelings at the beginning. After so many years, we are both accustomed to this kind of life. If one day one of them I should be sad to die suddenly."

Wu Feng nodded, looking towards the gate of Lin's house from time to time.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "If you want to see her, go directly, Lin Shilang still values ​​you scholars very much."

"Oh, it's hard to describe this matter!" Wu Feng sighed.

Seeing that the handsome young man was a little depressed, the shopkeeper shouted into the room: "You cook some dishes, and I will have a few drinks with this little brother."

The woman responded, and after a short while, she heard the sound of the iron pan stir frying.

"Little brother, girl, Azhe, wait a minute. I've been here for a long time. We hit it off. Let's have a few drinks today. This is a good wine that I have treasured for many years. Today I treat you."

After speaking, regardless of Wu Feng's obstruction, the shopkeeper got up and walked towards the house.

Wu Feng discovered that the store owner seemed to have some problems with his right leg, and his walking posture was a little weird, as if he had suffered some kind of injury.

After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a jug of wine and filled their glasses.

Smelling the aroma of the wine, Wu Feng said in surprise: "It's such a fragrant wine, I didn't expect uncle to have such a good wine."

"How about it, not bad, let's have a drink first." The shopkeeper smiled.

"I toast uncle." Wu Feng stood up and drank the wine in the glass.

The storekeeper smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

"Sure enough, good wine!"

"Uncle, what's the name of this wine? I've never heard of this kind of wine in Yancheng." Wu Feng asked.

Mentioning this matter, the shopkeeper said proudly: "That's natural. This wine has no name. It was rewarded by His Majesty back then. How could ordinary people drink it?"

Wu Feng was startled, and said: "Your Majesty rewarded it, uncle, have you seen His Majesty's old man?"

"I've seen it before!" The shopkeeper smiled.

"Can you tell me about it." Wu Feng was full of curiosity.

"You know about the conquest of the five parts of the grassland before the founding of the Xia Kingdom, right?" the shopkeeper asked.

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Of course I know about this, but I was still a child at that time."

"At the beginning, I followed His Majesty and several generals to defeat the Five Grasslands. This wine was given to the lieutenants by His Majesty at that time. It has been almost ten years now."

Wu Feng was very surprised, he didn't expect this ordinary man to have such an experience.

"Uncle, why did you retire?"

The store owner seemed to remember something sad, took a sip of wine, and said: "Oh, when I was conquering the five parts of the grassland, my leg was injured, so I had to retire. Oh, let's stop talking, let's drink and drink."

Facing this veteran soldier who has made great contributions to Xia Guo, Wu Feng immediately stood up in awe and said, "You are a warrior of Xia Guo, please be respected by the boy!"

The shopkeeper quickly stood up and said, "Little brother, this is impossible, what kind of warrior am I?"

Wu Feng said: "Without your bloody struggle, Xia Guo would not be able to achieve what it is today. Please accept this prayer. You deserve it at this time."

The shopkeeper's eyes were moist, and he said again and again: "Okay, okay, I accept it, like I have fought for the country for many years, and someone can still remember, even death is worth it."

The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and there was a feeling that they hated seeing each other late.

As the two got closer, Wu Feng knew that the store's name was Sun Qian, who used to be a spear soldier under Lin Jianya's command, and was also one of the slaves who escaped from the five tribes of the grassland.

And Sun Qian also knew why Wu Feng didn't dare to visit Lin Shilang's house.

It turned out that Lin Shilang thought that Wu Feng was a talented person before, but this Wu Feng may have been stupid in reading, so he insisted on saying that he wanted to find someone he liked to marry, but he actually rejected Lin Shilang's kindness. The servant's face, how could Wu Feng still have the face to visit, if it wasn't for the generosity of Lin's servant, who didn't trouble Wu Feng, this guy could drink with him here.

"Hey, let me tell you what's good about you. This matter is difficult. Little brother, you can ask the gods if you have nothing to do, so there may be a chance." Sun Qian said with a wry smile.

Wu Feng took a sip of his wine and said, "I know it's difficult. Now I just want to see Miss Lin more. I don't have anything else to ask for."

Sun Qian patted Wu Feng's shoulder and said: "Oh, what uncle can help, just mention it, although Lin Shilang is a second-rank official, he will give me some face."

Wu Feng shook his head and said, "Don't bother Uncle Sun with this matter."
