Great Song Pirate

Chapter 343 Sands
When the Jilong River appeared in front of Xu Yi, Xu Yi was almost exhausted and paralyzed. The not far in Gao Jun's mouth meant a straight-line distance, but there was a big ditch across the straight-line distance, and he had to go around it. Difficulties inside, and Xu Yi's unhealed body, as soon as he reached the river, Xu Yi sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

On the way, Li Bo and the others told Gao Jun the reason for Xu Yi's illness. Gao Jun changed his mind at that time, and wanted to go back. He would come to Jilonghe to check after Xu Yi recovered. But Xu Yi wanted to go here to see if he could sail directly into the Danshui River from here, and he refused to go back. Gao Jun was helpless, so he realized that he had taken Xu Yi to finish this road that he thought was not far away. It's okay, Xu Yi really can't stand it.

Sitting on the bank of the Jilong River, looking at the water of the Jilong River running like a tyrannosaurus, Xu Yi was immediately dejected, because he saw that the river here was curved, there were many steep bays and dangerous beaches, and the drop in some places could be called There is a small waterfall. It is estimated that it will not take a few sharp bends to get to the Tamsui River by boat here. All boats will be reimbursed into the river. Gao Jun is really a landlubber. He doesn’t know how to read the water conditions. Everyone ran for nothing, Xu Yi looked at the river water, a little dumbfounded.

"Gao Jun! This is the Jilong River you mentioned!" Xu Yi asked Gao Jun with a wry smile.

"That's right! It rains a lot here, and there is plenty of water. We tried to check on the other side of the river a few times, but we didn't succeed. We almost lost the lives of a few brothers. Later, we stopped thinking about going to the other side of the river! At present, we can only go so far!" Gao Jun stood beside Xu Yi, and replied respectfully.

"It seems that boats are not allowed here!" Xu Yi looked at the river and sighed.

"That's right, no one dares to go into the water even if we are good swimmers, let alone me, I just learned how to float, if I fall into this river, there will probably be no bones left!" Gao Jun also looked at the chicken. Cage He sighed.

Only then did Xu Yi realize that he couldn't blame Gao Jun for his wasted trip today, because when he proposed to come here, he never told everyone why he came here. Here’s a surprise for everyone, this trip was all done by himself. If he had told Gao Jun the idea of ​​entering the Danshui River directly through the Jilong River, no matter how stupid Gao Jun was, he would have told him that there was no way to go here. , Now Xu Yi had no choice but to bury this idea in his heart, knocked out his teeth and swallowed the blood in his stomach, the journey was as tiring as a dog, but Xu Yi was greatly frustrated by the result.

When a person was exhausted, he didn't want to stand up after sitting down. Xu Yi struggled to get down to the edge of the river beach, got some water to wash his face, then sat on the river beach panting heavily, and shouted to Li Bo and the others: "Let's rest for a while, eat something before going back, the scenery here is really nice! Hehe!" Xu Yi felt a little bit of joy in bitterness.

Someone immediately found some dry firewood and lit a bonfire. Gao Jun tiptoed to the edge of the woods by the river beach. Suddenly, like lightning, he pulled out a small knife from his waist and threw it out. There was a fluttering sound, Gao Jun ran into the woods, and after a while he picked up a pheasant, and the throwing knife he threw was nailed to the chest of the pheasant, killing him with one blow. This was the first time Xu Yi saw Gao Jun's unique skill. Seeing that Gao Jun always carried a row of throwing knives in his waist, he also knew that he must be proficient in this way, but he had never seen him use it, and now everyone's eyes were opened together.

When they came out this time, they didn't bring anything to eat, but there were wild game everywhere, so they couldn't be hungry. Everyone searched around for edible game, and after a while, someone brought a snake more than two meters long. Li Bo also shot down a big bird that couldn't be named. Qian Gui took a spear and used it as a harpoon. He ran to the shallow water bay on the river beach and speared a big fish quickly...

In short, after a while, they had a sumptuous lunch. These people showed their skills and started to barbecue game.

Xu Yi sat on the river beach and watched them laughing and laughing. It was the first time he was so relaxed in a long time. Although he ran for nothing today and was exhausted, he was in a good mood. It was a rare day to relax. It was all about going out for camping. However, Xu Yi was not too frustrated. He took off his shoes and went to the shallow puddle, and dipped his sore feet into the cool river water. Now he felt much more comfortable.

The river beach is full of small gravels washed down by the river from the upper reaches, and there is thick sand here, shining a little bit of golden light in the sun, and the surrounding forests are full of birds and animals. In addition, there is the sound of the surging river in front of him. Everything is still in its original state, without any man-made damage. Xu Yi enjoys this environment very much, allowing people to relax completely. And be quiet.

Soon Qian Gui brought over the grilled fish to Xu Yi. Although it was only sprinkled with a little salt, it was fresh and tasted special. Then the grilled snake was also sent over. It was a waste of delicious food, stewed into snake soup and eaten again, it should be even more delicious, Xu Yi is not polite, anyway, he is hungry, he will eat whatever is brought over, and the fatigue on his body has gradually receded a lot, he knows It is true that his body has not recovered to its previous state, but after today, he also feels that he has recovered at least [-]%. It seems that his body's recovery ability is not bad, and he is very satisfied with this.

"Gold!...I found gold!" One of the men went to the river to wash his hands, and suddenly picked up a small piece of something on the sand, and yelled loudly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately dropped their food and surrounded them one after another. Even Xu Yi ran over barefoot. He knew that there were many gold mines in Taiwan, and he also knew that Jinguashi in Taiwan is a very famous gold mine. However, he has never been to Taiwan before, so he only knows that Jinguashi is not far from Keelung, so he doesn't know the exact location. He also thought about looking for this place, but he never got around to it.

The small gravels on the river beach hurt Xu Yi's bare feet, but he still grinned and ran over. The shouting guard brought a small thing to Xu Yi, and looked at Xu Yi with surprise. Yi shouted: "Look, my lord, this is really gold! I have never seen such a big sand when I was panning for gold with others in Dengzhou!"

Xu Yi took it over and took a look. It was really a grain of golden sand, and it was as big as a soybean. It was probably washed out of the sand by the flood a few days ago and exposed outside. It happened to be seen by the guard. Seeing that, Xu Yi's mouth was hardly crooked.

Good character and wealth are good, luck can't stop you when it comes!He is a little worried about a large amount of expenses. To feed tens of thousands of people, the purchase of food alone is an astronomical figure. What's more, he has to buy a large amount of refined iron, and he will also buy a large amount of copper and tin in the future. Work hard, but after a long time, I can't stand him tossing like this!Now God opened his eyes, and actually dropped gold from the sky to him, and now he no longer has to worry about money.

Not only Xu Yi was happy alone, but none of the people around him were unhappy. They all grinned and smirked. Under the leadership of Qian Gui, several people searched around hard on the beach with their buttocks pouted, trying to find another one. Looking for some golden sand, even Xu Yi finally joined the search team. A group of people lay down on the river beach to search, and the last effort paid off, and they really found a few golden sand particles of different sizes. Yi and the others can confirm that there are indeed a lot of gold sand here, and the reserves must be quite large, otherwise they would not be able to find a few grains of gold sand so quickly. If a large number of people come over, they will definitely be able to find a lot of gold sand .

"Peng Shitou, did you say you were panning for gold when you were in Dengzhou?" Xu Yi asked the guard who had just discovered Jinsha.

"Yes, my lord. I was young at that time, and I was panning for gold with my father. Later, because my family was too poor to uncover the pot, my father hid some for himself. He wanted to buy us some clothes and delicious things for the New Year, but Later, when he was selling gold sand, he was reported and was beaten to death by the mine owner surnamed Zhao. My mother came to the door and begged to let my father go, but was also kicked to death by their slaves, and I was also beaten. Later, I took advantage of his unpreparedness and tricked his little boy out. After strangling him to death, I took my younger brother and sister and escaped. Later, I couldn't live anymore, so I gave my sister to him in order to survive. Being a servant girl is better than starving to death with me, and my younger brother died on the side of the road because he ate badly and had no money to see a doctor, and I followed Pu Yinjian to the sea!" Peng Shitou looked angry. Said colorfully.

Each of these subordinates has a history of blood and tears, and Xu Yi knew it, so he reached out and patted Peng Shitou's shoulder lightly, comforting him: "The matter is over and it's over, and you also avenged your parents. Don't be sad anymore! This time you found Jinsha, which is considered a miracle. I want to arrange something for you. After we go back, you immediately find a group of trustworthy brothers in the village and bring all those Japanese slaves here , how about starting gold panning here?"

Peng Shitou put away his grief, and quickly bowed and agreed: "Thank you for your trust, my lord. I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations, and I will definitely do this well!"

Xu Yi thought for a while, and then said to him: "After arranging this matter, I think you will take people to go upstream to investigate whether there are gold mines along the way. I think since there are gold sands here, they must come from the upstream. It was washed down from one place, and there will definitely be a gold mine in the upstream, and the reserves will not be small. This is all up to you. If we find this gold mine in the future, then why worry about our fubo army's great success? ?”

Peng Shitou immediately nodded and said, "I was just about to tell my lord this matter. There must be a big gold mine on it if there is such a large grain of gold sand here. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much gold sand here. As long as there is gold on it Mine, I will be able to find it for my lord, please rest assured, my lord!"

Xu Yi happily patted him on the shoulder repeatedly, thinking in his heart that his subordinates are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with 360 lines, he has materials for almost everything he does here, God help him!

"Li Bo! After you go back to Peng Shitou, arrange a few brothers in the personal guards to do this work with him. With Peng Shitou in charge, start this work as soon as possible. And Gao Jun, you also find some for Peng Shitou. Reliable brothers, form a mine protection team, follow Peng Shitou's arrangement, and take out most of the Japanese slaves and hand them over to the mine protection team to be responsible for gold mining. Except for them who can engage in gold panning, everyone is not allowed here privately Carry out the gold panning, once found, they will be killed! This matter should be done quickly, after the arrangements are made, we will go to Danshui Village!" Xu Yi ordered.

Li Bo and Gao Jun immediately bowed to their orders, and then Xu Yi explained: "It is not easy to enter here, please don't spread the news that there is Jinsha here, and as long as there is a small road leading here, it will be fine. The road is being built, we can't afford to delay this matter, and there is no need for it!"

Everyone hurriedly answered their orders together, seeing that it was getting late, and everyone had eaten what they should eat, and Xu Yi also felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, so he said: "Let's not delay here, it's time to go back now." , otherwise we will live in this jungle tonight, I don’t want a snake crawling on me to sleep in the middle of the night!”

Everyone laughed together, and after tidying up, they set off along the original road towards Carboniferous Valley.

Hearing the roar of animals in the jungle on the road, Xu Yi said to Li Bo and the others: "There are many wild animals here. If you enter the forest in the future, everyone should pay attention to safety. I heard that there are black bears and clouded leopards on the mountains here. If you are not careful, we will They will become their prey, and if there are few people, don’t go into the jungle without authorization, everyone’s life is precious!”

Li Bo said nonchalantly: "It's okay, isn't it just bears and leopards! They're here just for us to have a teeth-beating festival. Bear paws are good things. They are the most valuable among the treasures! Leopards are also good. I heard from Yang Ci that it is also a good thing to use as medicine, brewing wine is similar to tiger bone, it can protect against rheumatism, and it happened to be used as medicine by Yang Ci!"

Qian Gui immediately interjected and said, "Bear bile is also a good thing. It clears away heat and detoxifies, and improves eyesight. And I heard from Yang Ci that bear bones can also be used as medicine and can also dispel rheumatism. Bear meat and bear skin can't be thrown away either. Good stuff, I’m afraid I won’t meet this guy! It’s not bad to have one!”

Xu Yi patted the back of Qian Gui's head and said with a smile: "You guys! Because of your good skills, you don't even pay attention to these kings in the mountains, and you don't have any sense of awe. If they run into you, they will be regarded as Bad luck! But I think these beasts live in this land, so they have a reason for their existence. Generally speaking, if they don’t mess with us, we should not mess with them! Let them live freely in the What’s wrong with being in the mountains? Don’t make excuses for your mouths if you’re fine, just go hunt them, eat less of these things, and you won’t lose much!” Xu Yi still has a little bit of protection for wild animals Consciousness, teach them to.
