Crossing the Sixers

It was only four or five days' journey from Yihe Tribe to Tianshan Mountain, but from Tianshan Mountain to the sea, they walked for 20 days!

If Grandpa Artest hadn't told them the general route to the sea, they would have doubted whether the sea existed, and even returned home halfway.

Along the way, they passed through plains, crossed five small rivers, and turned over four hills. They were besieged by several four-winged beasts, chased by a group of megalodons, and they also saw flying insects like locusts overwhelming the sky, and almost strayed into the piranhas. Flowers, even fought with a multi-legged monster that looked like a python hiding in the river...

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, the most serious thing was that Gao Shuai was scratched by the tail of the multi-legged monster on his arm in order to save Murong.After getting entangled with flying insects, Xu Jian planned to go back. He was afraid that the dangers in the forest would be more difficult and Huo Changfeng would be injured. Unexpectedly, Huo Changfeng heard the story of the sea and the mermaid, so he wanted to go to the beach.After stepping into the forest, the little doll was even braver than Xu Jian. Chang Feng was the first to discover the multi-legged monster hidden at the bottom of the dark river in the forest.

Xu Jian and the others did not expect that the forest where the Dosen tribe used to live was so big, which was already the size of a vast country on earth.They originally thought that the old settlement of the Dothan tribe was already in the depths of the forest, but now that they thought about it, that place was just the edge of the forest.

After finally passing through the dangerous forest, they came to a canyon again. The Tianhe River flowed through the canyon, the water potential slowed down, and the vegetation on both sides of the mountain was lush and lush, making people unable to resist boating on the river.

In fact, they can only cross the river.The steep mountain walls on both sides make it impossible for bullock carts to pass.They stopped and spent two days building a huge raft, put two ox carts and two oxen on the raft, and went down the river.After drifting for about one night, the mountains gradually disappeared, and what appeared in sight was the endless plain.The water level of the Tianhe River became shallower and shallower, and the river forked. They had to adjust their routes at any time and follow the branch with the deepest water.After about half a day, they finally saw the blue sea.

It took a lot of effort to get the raft to the shore, and the old ox and the cart were also taken down, and the odds and ends were taken from the cart and spread out to dry. After all this work, they were hungry.The coastline was still one kilometer away, so they didn't rush to run there. They got some noodles and dried meat, cooked some vegetable soup to fill their stomachs, spread out the animal skins in the clearing by the forest, and took a nap. Drive the ox cart to the beach.

Huo Changfeng's little pet "Wanli", the white cat with nine tails, has been spoiled too much by the owner these days, and he doesn't even want to walk, so Huo Changfeng insists on hugging him.Although it was a small one, it weighed several kilograms. An Lie was afraid that Huo Changfeng would get tired, so he wanted to take over and hold him for a while, but Huo Changfeng didn't let it go, he just walked all the way with it in his arms.

Only when the sea was close in front of my eyes did I realize that the so-called azure blue was more like a transparent light cyan.The seabed here is sandy soil, and the coastline stretching for dozens of kilometers spreads out like a silver-white belt in sight.It is soft and slippery to step on, and there are no trees hundreds of meters from the coastline, so the view is very wide.

They left the bullock cart and ran to the beach cheering.But when they reached the coastline, they all stopped, not daring to jump into the sea.

Just kidding, this world is full of dangers, maybe there are dangerous bugs and small fish in the sea, and maybe there are cliffs on the bottom of the sea, or a group of big sharks waiting for food to come to your door... Of course they have to spare their lives, Be cautious.

So a group of people stepped on the waves, bent down and looked down at the things in the water.

"Anything? No?"

"I don't think so... The water quality is clear enough, cleaner than mineral water, if there is, you can tell it at a glance."

"Dad, I really want to go inside..."

"Hey, hey, no, no, no, no! Let your father—let your father, Li, try it!"

"Four-eyed boy! You are bullying Brother Shihao!"

"How can I dare him to be so powerful! After all, he has the best swimming skills among our group!"

Amidst the noise, they decided that the beach was safe for the time being, so they ran along the coastline until they collapsed from playing tired, and lay on the beach looking at the blue sky with white clouds floating in it.

Wanli, the nine-tailed cat, finally didn't dislike the dirt on the ground. He jumped up and down on the sand, flicking his nine furry tails. In the bright light, he looked like a monster that suddenly appeared in a myth.

This time has entered the warm season, the seaside temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, the scenery is pure and natural, and the sea and sky line in the distance is just like a fairyland.They lay side by side on the beach and didn't speak for a long time.

Huo Changfeng was nestled in Xu Jian's arms, and the nine-tailed cat Wan Li was nestled in his arms. The owner and the pet were so comfortable that they fell asleep for more than an hour. If Bai Yufei didn't feel dizzy from the sun, they would still be reluctant to stand up and walk around .

They judged the general direction and confirmed that the coastline stretched from north to south, so they headed south.The ox cart drove swayingly for most of the day, and when it was approaching dusk, I finally discovered the existence of the island in the grand scene that seemed to ignite the sea.Those large and small islands are scattered in the sea, only a dozen kilometers away from the coastline.

Huo Changfeng pointed to those islands and asked excitedly, "Dad! Is there any treasure on the island? Is there a mermaid?"

He blinked his big eyes, looking very eager to see.

Xu Jian originally wanted to tell him that mermaids were fabricated in fairy tales, but then he thought that Qilin, Qinglong, Suzaku, and White Tiger were also fabricated in fairy tales. If fairy tales can come true, why can't fairy tales not?

"I'll take you to see it tomorrow. We don't have a boat. It's dangerous to go to sea rashly. When we find that tribe by the sea, we can ask them about the situation..."

"Can't mermaids come ashore?"

"...Maybe some of them are not mermaids?"

"That's right, it's like only Daddy is a unicorn, and none of us are!"

An Lie couldn't help laughing, Xu Jian quickly kicked him, so as not to make his son doubtful and ask endless questions.They walked for more than ten miles, bypassing the curved coastline, and suddenly a series of wooden houses appeared in the field of vision.There are probably hundreds of wooden houses, the bottom is empty, and the top is where people live.If they hadn't seen the men and women in simple clothes by the sea, Xu Jian and the others would have thought that this was a seaside resort in a certain country on earth.

Those people also found them, and they were very alert at first, blowing the whistle made of shells to gather them together, hundreds of people stopped in front of Xu Jian and the others, led by a tall, strong, handsome young man.Holding a wooden harpoon, the man walked slowly in front of Xu Jian and the others, sized them up, and couldn't help but glance at the ox cart.Several children in the crowd stared at Huo Changfeng and the nine-tailed cat in his arms.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?" The young man in charge asked as seriously as possible, "What are you doing in our seaside tribe?"

It turns out that this place is called the Seaside Tribe, and the name is really easy.

Xu Jian resisted the urge to complain, and secretly pushed An Lie, letting him answer as a representative.An Lie was taller than that young man. The other party obviously felt the great pressure, his complexion was not very good-looking, but he pretended to be calm and refused to back down at all.

An Lie gave a brief introduction to their group, and said that they like to travel and want to gain insights by traveling around, that's why they broke into the range of the seaside tribe. They didn't mean anything malicious, they just wanted to see the scenery.

Some people wanted to come to the seaside tribe to go out to explore, so the young man didn't doubt it, and his attitude eased a lot.

"What tribe are you from?"

"The Yihe tribe is far away from here, separated by forests, several mountains, and..."

"What? The Yihe tribe? The tribe next to a big river?"

The young man suddenly became excited.He was surprised and delighted, and so were the few old people behind him. An old man who was about a hundred years old patted his thigh and shouted excitedly that he knew the Yihe tribe.

Xu Jian and the others were stunned, and then they all remembered that Grandpa Artai had been to the seaside, maybe the tribe he met was the so-called seaside tribe.Those old people may not have seen Artest, but their parents and elders must have.As for this young man, he must be the descendant of the female named A Yuan.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

Grandpa Artai came to this tribe when he was young, and a female named A Yuan had a good impression of him, but unfortunately the two tribes were too far apart, and they did not become partners in the end.After Artest left, A Yuan married another male, and the husband and wife loved each other. Sometimes he would mention the foreign male who defeated many warriors in the seaside tribe.A Yuan's descendant, this male named Liu Yun became the leader of the tribe. He was very envious of the adventures of A Tai passed down by the older generation, but he couldn't leave his duty.

Liu Yun held a simple but very solemn welcome ceremony for Xu Jian and the others, and entertained them warmly.That night, for the first time since they left home, they put aside their tents and ox carts, and lived in a wooden hut, sleeping on a comfortable wooden floor.Of course, they had a seafood feast before falling asleep.Xu Jian and the others didn't dare to eat some seafood with strange shapes, but the taste was really good. After they tried it, they all ate it to their hearts' content.

Only Huo Changfeng was concerned about the mermaid, and Xu Jian coaxed him for a long time before he fell asleep.The nine-tailed cat clung to him, using its tail as a quilt, sleeping soundly.

The next day, they walked around, Huo Changfeng missed the mermaid, and kept staring at the island.Xu Jian had no choice but to beat around the bush and ask Liu Yun about the conditions on those islands, and if there was anything interesting and special about them.

"That's a lot! There are people living on the island, but they live there for planting! There are delicious things on the island! There are beautiful shells around the island! There is a kind of fish that can only be caught on the island... ..."

"Really, a mermaid? The half-man, half-fish kind?"

"...What is half-man, half-fish? It's a fish that can be eaten!"

"..."

Xu Jian didn't dare to tell Huo Changfeng that his illusion was about to be shattered.

When Liuyun found someone to row a boat and sent them to the island, Huo Changfeng didn't think that those people could turn into mermaids, so he gradually gave up, but he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"It's okay, Dad will sew you a fish tail later, and let you be a mermaid, okay?" Xu Jian comforted.

Huo Changfeng was relieved immediately and smiled, and then he had a big brain hole and asked Xu Jian to sew nine tails for Su Meng to wear.What else can Xu Jian say?My son misses his future daughter-in-law before he even grows hair. As a father, he can only accept his fate!

There are no mermaids in the seaside tribe, and other bananas, pineapples, and gourds that Liu Yun regards as treasures are not precious.Anyway, it's not that they haven't eaten it on earth.He was busy collecting gourd seeds so that he could take them back and plant them in the Yihe tribe to benefit the public. Huo Changfeng, An Lie and his son ate bananas and pineapples with their stomachs open, and discussed how to get them back and plant them in their own vegetable fields, so that in the future It can also be eaten frequently.

The scenery on the island is actually pretty good.They borrowed two rooms above and lived there for a few days, enjoying a comfortable holiday, sunbathing, swimming and surfing every day, while An Lie and Li Shihao went to compete with the males of the seaside tribe, and made some good friends friends, including their leader Liu Yun.As for Huo Changfeng, he led the nine-tailed cat and became the leader of a group of children, playing with it every day.

Xu Jian and the others still had some grain seeds on their ox carts, which were specially prepared for making friends with new tribes.They told Liu Yun how to plant, and helped them find suitable fields.It is just a dozen miles away from the sea, separated by a forested plain.

Seaside tribes seldom see ferocious beasts, even large animals. The biggest danger is the fierce beasts on the bottom of the sea, but they live on islands close to the coast, so as long as they don’t go out to sea, there is basically no safety problem , They just rely on fishing for a living, and they lack food.Xu Jian's behavior of donating food moved the people of the seaside tribe very much, and specially held a sumptuous seafood feast for them. This time, Xu Jian and the others finally saw something special.

Very big lobster!

It simply surpasses Australian lobster!

But the people of the seaside tribe actually boil it in plain water and get it done!

Xu Jian said that he couldn't bear it, and asked Bai Yufei to recite the recipes he had memorized in his head, sharpen his knives, fry and cook them, and use his strength to tell everyone the correct way to eat lobster.

At this seafood feast, except for Li Shihao and Bai Yufei who often ate big lobsters because of their status and family background, almost everyone went back to sleep with a full belch, and their breath smelled like lobsters.

Even the nine-tailed cat ate it so much that its belly was chubby, and it still held on to the big lobster claw before leaving.
