The ship sailed all the way, and Xiong Youpi and his crew experienced a lot of wind and rain along the way.
They had also encountered strong sea breezes that could make people unable to stand.
The most dangerous time was when a sailboat in the team was blown onto the reef.
The boat was leaking and a large amount of seawater was pouring into it.
Although Xiong Youpi and the others were extremely distressed, the damage the ship had suffered was so great that there was no way to make up for it.
Not long after, the entire ship sank, leaving only a mast exposed.
There was no other way, they could only abandon this ship, and after some repairs, they drove the remaining ships and continued on their way.
Fortunately, although some people on the fleet were injured, no one was killed. This was a blessing in disguise.
This kind of thing can be regarded as the sea using its actual actions to show the people of the Green Bird Tribe that it not only has a peaceful and docile side, but also a violent side.
It reminded them that the sea was not so gentle and kind, and they needed to be careful at all times when sailing on the sea, otherwise, the sea water would most likely swallow up their ships, cargo, and even their lives.
It caused great losses to the Qingque tribe.
The fleet sailed all the way, experiencing countless winds and suns, as well as many dangers. At the same time, they also saw some stunning scenery that they could not see in the tribe on a normal day, as well as some exotic customs.
Some people thought about retreating. That was after the tribe encountered a big storm and a sailboat hit the reef and sank. Some of them were really frightened by the violence of the sea.
However, such thoughts soon disappeared, because they knew that further ahead of them, there were things extremely beautiful and extremely important to the tribe.
If those who were driving the large sailing ships that had been built with so much effort and energy by many people in the tribe over the years were to retreat, then it would be extremely difficult for their tribe to obtain these things, and it was unknown how long they would have to wait.
Now they have all come here by boat. This may be the closest time to the things that the Son of God said. It would be a pity if they gave up at this time.
In the days to come, they will feel particularly uncomfortable just thinking about it.
They will definitely regret it in the future.
The kind of regret that will last a lifetime.
Wu, a respected elder in the tribe, was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of not leaving any regrets. In late autumn, he went south, crossed the mountains, and came to the tribe in the south. In winter, he came to the horse farm in the west.
Why can't these people fight for the tribe?
If we don't fight hard now, are we waiting for our descendants to fight hard?
Some things have to be done by someone.
Moreover, even if later on, capable descendants appeared in the tribe and brought back the good things mentioned by the Son of God, what would that have to do with them?
After all, it wasn't them who accomplished this.
Moreover, it is very likely that by that time, they will have all turned into a pile of bones, buried in the tribal land.
By then, the people in the tribe really brought back those precious things and placed them in front of their graves. How could they see them in that state?
It will only leave a lifetime of regret.
With the example set by Wu, an elder in the Qingque tribe, the people of the Qingque tribe will be much more determined than before when doing things in the future.
This kind of impact was something Han Cheng and even Wu had never imagined before.
But this influence is real.
We don't know how long this influence will last, but at this moment, it has indeed affected some people, making them more determined and more courageous in sailing.
The fleet stopped again, and this time they stopped at an island.
This island is very big.
If you walk a distance inside and look around, you will find that you can hardly see the sea.
And in front of them, as far as the eye can see, there is still a lot of land with no end in sight.
Comparing the map drawn by the Son of God in their hands, Xiong Youpi and others quickly knew where they had arrived.
This is indeed a big island, and the Son of God has written the words "Treasure Island" on the island.
When Xiong Youpi first saw these two words, he deliberately asked the Son of God why this island was named Treasure Island. Is it because there are many treasures on this island?
Xiong Youpi still remembers Shen Zi’s reaction at that time.
After hearing his question, the Son of God at that time smiled, and then said with some emotion: "Yes! There are indeed a lot of treasures there! But there are so many treasures there that our tribe can't use them..."
As he said these words, the Son of God looked very emotional.
Xiong Youpi always felt that the Son of God at that time had a lot more to say but didn't tell him, and there must be something else hidden in it that he didn't know.
But since the Son of God didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask.
After arriving on the island, Xiong Youpi and the others maintained their usual caution, moving forward with weapons in hand while observing their surroundings carefully.
Xiong Youpi and many other people were all looking for something.
A tree to be exact.
According to the Son of God, this tree grows very strangely. Unlike the common trees in the tribe, there are no extra branches on the trunk, but it grows straight upwards.
At the top, there are many branches and leaves, and between the branches and leaves, there are large lumps the size of many human heads.
These big bumps are the fruits of this tree.
If you remove the outer shell, you will find a harder shell inside.
Drill a hole in the hard shell, insert a reed, and you can drink the sweet fruit juice.
This fruit is called coconut by the Son of God.
When they first heard the Son of God tell these things, they thought it was very magical and were deeply impressed by this tree.
Now that they have arrived at this island, of course they would think of looking for it.
After all, the Son of God said that this kind of fruit is not only delicious, but also extremely durable in storage. Getting some more and putting them on the boat will help them replenish food during their future voyages.
At the same time, when you return, bring some more coconuts and bring them back to the main tribe, so that the people in the main tribe can taste the rare coconuts.
The Son of God's description was very clear and intuitive, and it sounded like he had seen it before.
In addition, this kind of tree has a very unique appearance, so after about half a day, Xiong Youpi and his group discovered the coconut tree.
Xiong Youpi and others soon arrived under several coconut trees.
Then some people who were good at climbing trees were asked to climb up the tree with tools.
He stopped near the fruit, took the hand axe and other things, and in a short while, he got a lot of them down.
They used tools to cut open the coconut and saw the white flesh and juice.
After taking a bite, it was indeed very sweet.
The Son of God was absolutely right, this coconut is really a very good fruit.
The key is that it is big. When one is ahead of others, there are several common fruits, which looks pleasing!
Xiong Youpi and others stayed on the island for three days.
As a result, I didn't see anyone during these three days.
I have seen some traces of human activities.
I think there are people living on this island, but they just haven't discovered it.
The Son of God once said that this island did not have the kinds of seeds that their tribe particularly needed now, so Xiong Youpi and others did not stay here for long.
I didn't deliberately look for the people living on this island.
After staying here for a few days, they set off from the island and returned to the sailing ship with a large amount of coconuts, then weighed anchor, set sail and set off.
It was summer at that time and the weather was very hot. The sailors on the sailboat were all tanned and many of them had their skin peeling off.
But they don't care much about these.
Anyway, in their tribe, no matter how tanned you are, you can still find a mate.
If you really can't find it in your own tribe, you can look for it in other places.
It is not impossible to kidnap one or two people from the tribes you meet along the way and take them as your spouse.
The ship continued sailing, and after a while, Xiong Youpi and his crew encountered a big island again.
This time, the big island was closer to the land, with only a not-too-wide strait in between.
Xiong Youpi and others stopped the sailboat again and came to the island.
Through the map drawn by the Son of God, they knew where the island was and what it was called, because the Son of God had marked it on the map.
The name is Hainan.
It means that this island is in the south of the sea. It is simple and clear and one can tell it at a glance.
There are more coconuts on this island than on the big island called Treasure Island that they had encountered before.
After sailing all the way, Xiong Youpi and others felt tired, so they decided to rest here for a few more days.
After searching an area here, they only encountered a small tribe.
And this small tribe was also frightened by them. After fleeing in panic, Xiong Youpi and others completely relaxed.
They did not continue to advance into the interior of the island, but instead rested near the landing beach.
The beach is very clean, with tall coconut trees growing on the side.
Lying on the beach, feeling the sea breeze, enjoying the sunshine, having a coconut when thirsty, looking up at the tall coconuts and the large sailboats moored not far away, the whole person feels particularly comfortable...
A few days later, under the horrified gazes of some people who originally lived on this island, the people of the Green Bird tribe planted a flag that represented the Green Bird tribe, then left and returned to the sailing ship.
Then they continued on their sailboat to wherever they wanted to go.
After confirming that these people who appeared suddenly and looked scary were really gone, those who had been scared away before began to come back one after another and came to the place where the Qingque tribe members had lived before to look through the ashes left by the Qingque tribe members and some other household garbage.
Some people would even take the garbage left behind by the Qingque tribe and study it carefully.
Of course, the flag that was planted there by the Qingque tribe was not let go by these people either.
They circled around the flag for a long time before someone brave enough finally reached out and pulled up something they had never seen before from the ground and held it in his hand.
To these people, the flag in their hands is extremely unfamiliar, yet so exquisite and beautiful.
They didn't know what material the flag was made of, nor did they know how these people made the flag so exquisitely.
I don't even know why these people would leave such an obviously very exquisite and precious thing here.
However, this did not prevent them from being surprised and admiring the flag.
After hesitating for a long time, these people still did not dare to take the flag away.
In the end, they put this beautiful thing back to its original place.
Because a wiser person in their tribe said that he was worried that those people who looked extremely powerful and scary would return to where they lived again.
If you see this beautiful thing disappear, you will definitely think that it was taken away by your own people.
Maybe they will get angry because of this and do something bad to their own tribe, which would be too bad!
This flag stayed here for ten days.
During these ten days, the people of this tribe came to see it every day, but they did not see those who left this beautiful thing and left come back.
So they gradually became bolder.
Their leader personally pulled the flag out of the ground, then brought it all the way back to his tribe and placed it in the most precious place.
The people of this tribe take great care of this exquisite flag, as if it were the most precious treasure.
The entire tribe was extremely excited and happy because they had obtained such a precious thing.
After some time, the people of this tribe could not help but show their exquisite flag to another tribe.
It didn't take long for the legend of this tribe having a beautiful item to spread among several nearby tribes...
Then one day, some people came to this tribe, fought with the tribe, and snatched the flag away...
(This book will end at the end of the month, and I feel a little disappointed and uneasy... At the same time, I also wish everyone a happy Christmas Eve. Although I don’t celebrate such festivals, I still decided to follow the trend and send blessings to book friends who have read it.)
