Chapter 13: Island Survival (1)

Ask for collections, ask for red tickets!

***************************************

In the next three days, Fu Qinghe drilled into the dense forest on the island to explore the terrain and find water sources, and Lin Jian taught the teenagers how to add medium and long blades such as Mo knives and waist knives to the bamboo stabbing gun array for simple coordination.

Eight guards, killed six prisoners and two, and Lin Tie them got eight medium-long weapons of various types, such as Mo knives, knives, double spears, and waist knives; Two strong bows. The strength of the two bows was very large, and Lin Jian could only barely open four or five times, and the archery was not accurate. Fu Qinghe said that if he wants to practice bows and arrows, it is best to start with the five-bucket bow; In the army, those who can use a strong bow with one stone can also become a low-level military attache from the ninth grade.

From the weapons used by these eight guards, it can also be imagined that they should all be the elite of Ning Haijun Town, not to mention the status of low-level military attachΓ©s, otherwise even if they are Xiao Taoyuan's personal soldiers, they do not have the freedom to choose weapons at will in the barracks - maybe Xiao Taoyuan really has the intention to send an elite team to act as pirates in this sea area to cooperate inside and outside to seek unimaginable profits.

When Fu Qinghe returned to the camp on the fourth day, he found that Lin Jian had divided the sixteen oldest teenagers into two groups, a group of eight, four bamboo spears, four medium-long blades, and two small shields woven from thin bamboo branches in each group. The small shield is covered with leather, which is cut from two pieces of broken leather armor to make a bamboo leather shield, which is rough and somewhat unsightly, but quite practical.

The other, younger teenagers were armed with short bamboo spears about six feet long.

When Fu Qinghe came back, he was tired. Although the island is not big, but the jungle is deep, and there are almost no traces of the trail that the islanders walked out of before, he walked on the island for three days, and the injuries on his body have not healed, and the hard work can be imagined. He didn't see Lin Tie others in front of the grass shed, and the three teenagers Chen Enze, Hu Qiaozhong, and Hu Qiaoguan led everyone to practice some simple queue coordination in the open space. Looking at their drills, although they are not yet proficient, the young men are bold and sharp, and they have a bit of a military formation that combines long and short, spear and shield. Fu Qinghe didn't feel much surprised, although Lin Jian didn't look like he was practicing martial arts, but in the past few days, Fu Qinghe could only sigh at the tactical literacy he had shown in the process of hiding the boat and sniping and saving people, and he taught the young man to practice courage before punishing the strong and resisting violence, which also opened his eyes.

The six corpses and bamboo stakes were long gone, and after asking, I found out that before he returned, Lin Jian had people drag them deep into the forest and bury them. September has not yet passed, the weather is cold and warm, and the corpse should not be exposed to the air for too long.

"Fu Bo is back......"

Fu Qinghe turned around and saw Xiao Man walking briskly, Lin Lian was walking barefoot, his trousers were pulled up to his knees, and he was holding two bamboo guns in his hands, walked over, threw the bamboo guns on the ground, and asked Fu Qinghe: "Master Fu, have you found a water source in the forest?" Can you get back in tonight? ”

Fu Qinghe saw the two teenagers behind Lin Tie, each carrying a few white-scaled and pot-bellied sea fish, not busy talking about retreating into the forest, and said with a smile: "Can you still teach them to go into the sea to catch fish?" ”

"With such a big consumption, you can't do it without meat." Lin Jian said.

"But Brother Lin forced us to eat raw fish." Xiaoman finally caught the opportunity to sue, and the sharp tooth betrayed Lin Tie.

Lin Jian sighed bitterly in his heart: This baby doesn't know how expensive it is to eat sashimi in later generations, and now she still picks and chooses.

When the officers and men left, they left some dried meat, but the portion was only enough for eight guards to eat for a few days, and the officers and soldiers did not plan to raise the meat tickets to be fat and fat, and the dry food and water left behind were very limited. Fu Qinghe went into the forest to explore the terrain, teach these teenagers and give them enough food, it was Lin Lian's responsibility. Don't dare to make a fire, and during the day, people will climb to the top of the big tree on the slope in front of them to stand guard, for fear that a pirate ship will approach during the day; In addition to dry food, only some raw food can be eaten. There are a lot of shellfish such as clams on the beach, and it is easy to collect, but Lin Jian didn't dare to let everyone eat this raw; Although there is no mustard, raw fish slices are eaten in slices dipped in sea salt, but it is okay and can save fresh water. In the past few days, Lin Jian has to spend a lot of time taking the boy to the shallow water beach of the small bay to catch sea fish.

Xiaoman has been eating sashimi with everyone in the past few days, and when he saw Fu Qinghe coming back, he inevitably had to be coquettish, and Lin Jian remembered that she was a fourteen-year-old girl after all, and it was really difficult for her.

Fu Qinghe laughed and said, "If you weren't worried about the officers and soldiers, everyone would be able to survive well on this island......

Lin Jian knew that Fu Qinghe was just joking, even if there was no threat from officers and soldiers, this place was facing the mouth of the Yangtze River, which could be said to be the main sea route for the East China pirates to enter the mainland from the Yangtze River, this small island was more suitable as a foothold for pirates than those sand islands and sandbanks, how could he and Fu Qinghe take twenty or thirty teenagers here? Playing Robinson Crusoe is not like this, the biggest possibility is that it is either destroyed by the passing East Pirates, or it is wrapped in ribs.

However, there are no absolutes in everything, there have always been rumors that the Eastern Fujian luxury family and the Eastern Pirates colluded privately, if the rumors are true, during this period of time, the Eastern Fujian luxury family and the imperial court asked for peace, and the activities of the Eastern pirates naturally have to be restrained; Lin Jian thought to himself that this was probably the reason why they had lived on the island for five days without seeing a passing pirate.

But if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you still have to go ashore.

Lin Jian will not forget his status as a lifter, although he does not expect to go further to the entrance examination, but he already has the qualifications to be an official, although he can only be a small official, but it is a good foothold.

"Fu Bo is back?" Su Mei walked over from a grass hut, wearing coarse cloth clothes and holding her hair in a bun, although she was not dressed in men's clothes, she could not hide her beauty, "Is there a hiding place in the forest?" ”

Xiao Man led the two teenagers to the grass shed, Fu Qinghe took a bamboo branch, squatted down with Lin Jian and Su Mei at the edge of the field, and explained the terrain he had explored in the past three days to the two of them in detail while drawing it on the sandy ground.

The trail behind the straw shed can lead directly to the depths of the island forest, but no one has walked it for many years, covering the desert island with rotten leaves, and even some sections of the road are re-covered with bushes.

The whole island is about five miles long from north to south and about three miles from east to west. The terrain is the highest in the southeast, there is a cliff, Fu Qinghe rough measurement, the cliff head to the beach below is almost twenty-five or six zhang high, there is the highest point of the whole island. When Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe landed on the island, their vision was covered by the forest and the slope on this side, and they did not see the cliff over there. Fu Qinghe also found traces of human activities on the cliffs and back slopes, and the time was quite long, indicating that the pirates who settled on the island had not explored the depths of the forest during this period of time.

It is a lonely island that hangs over the sea, deep in the woods and rocks, and there are no wild animals except for a large number of seabirds that use it as a habitat. Fu Qinghe didn't even see a rabbit for three days; I didn't see snakes and rats, and I don't know if there were too many seabirds.

Fu Qinghe did not find that there were springs or other natural water sources on the island, in the depths of Lin Yan, there was a pond, not deep, with some rainwater, and the area was very small, but it was enough for more than 30 of them to drink.

"Except for that place, there is no pond in other places, and it is also related to the fact that the terrain of this island is too flat, and the rain cannot be stored, and the rain in the summer and autumn rainy seasons is better, and in the dry rainy season in spring and winter, there are not many ......people living on this island," Fu Qinghe said, "The southeast of the pond is a rocky slope, very flat, depending on the weather, there will be no rain in the past two days, and it will not be too cold, so we had better withdraw into it tonight." ”

Lin Jian looked at the topographic map drawn by Fu Qinghe on the beach, although this island is a bedrock island, there is also a part of the tidal tide silting into land, and the area is quite large, the real bedrock dry island is a small part of the southeast of the island center, and it is a high protrusion, and the whole terrain is not conducive to forming a large pond that can accumulate rainwater. It's no wonder that pirates don't regard these as fixed anchors, and water is the most important thing to make a living at sea.

"Get in today." Lin Jian said.

"What about those two people, do you want to take them into the woods too?" Su Mei asked, "Can you get them to listen to us?" ”

"How can they be made to obey? Just because you don't kill them? These are far from enough, when the officers and soldiers of Ninghai Town come to the island again, they will definitely betray us as soon as they have the opportunity," Lin Jian stood up and said, "Those two people, can they still stay?" ”

Lin Jian beckoned all the teenagers in the venue who were practicing simple fighting to stop, and asked Chen Enze to lead the two of them to bring out the bearded man and the thin-faced man. When the young men saw that they were going to dispose of the two captives here, they all gathered around, and even the little man who was slicing raw fish and meat in the grass shed ran out to watch.

Although they were not deliberately tortured, they lacked food and water, and there was no one to wrap the wounds on their bodies, and in three or four days, these two sturdy men were a little out of shape. Lin Jian asked Chen Enze to bring the two of them to him and asked, "What else do you two have to say?" ”

"You killed grandpa, and grandpa will come back eighteen years later to take revenge." The thin-faced man also knew that the last moment was coming, and these people in front of him would not let them live, so he barely raised his spirit and said two bold words.

Lin Jian secretly sighed that he was really uncreative, what is the difference between "grandpa is still a good man after eighteen years"? He pushed the bearded man and the thin-faced man over, took a knife to cut the ropes they were tied up with, and said, "Don't say any bold words, Fu Ye and I don't have any deep hatred for you, how can I kill you?" But these young men won't let you live, and we can't persuade you. I will loosen your ties now, and you must have the ability to escape into the woods and wait for your accomplices to come to the island, even if your life is great! ”

"......" The thin-faced man and the bearded man were stunned, not understanding what Lin Tie meant, and when they saw the young men with bamboo spears and middle-grown weapons surrounded by them, they suddenly understood.

The thin-faced man was scheming, and he still hoped to have a chance to live, so he scolded with a beard: "Fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations, if you want to kill or chop, let the horse come, can you let these children tease?" "He and the thin-faced man have been tortured to the point that their strength is exhausted, and both wounds on their bodies have begun to suppurate, how can they escape into the forest under the siege of this group of teenagers? He was also strange in his heart: these teenagers were still lambs to be slaughtered four or five days ago, and in just four or five days, looking at their eyes, they really seemed to have the courage and determination to kill?

Lin Liancai didn't care how he scolded the beard, and said to Chen Enze's young men: "You two groups, kill one person each...... and picked up two bamboo guns and threw them at the thin-faced man and beard, and said, "You are not qualified to complain about the sky, run for your life." ”

Fu Qinghe untied the strong bow on his back and held it in his hand, even if the thin-faced man and beard were tortured for four or five days, and he was seriously injured, but the person who practiced martial arts was dying and struggling, and he always had some strength, he was afraid that the teenagers would suffer, so he took two arrows in his hand, ready to respond at any time, and protected those younger teenagers behind him, so as not to kidnap them and make them jealous.

When he saw that the bearded man was in the same place, and the thin-faced man fled to the edge of the forest to kill the two groups of teenagers, Fu Qinghe thought to himself that they were finally no longer a burden, although the real combat power was still very limited, he looked at Lin Jian and said with emotion: "The soldier saint is in the world, and it is nothing more than that." ”

"Fu Ye lifted Lin Tie," Lin Tie said modestly, turned around and looked at those teenagers, and said to Fu Qinghe, "It's they who have suffered a great disaster, and they are stronger than they imagined......" Lin Tie had read a few military books before, and the soldier saint in Fu Qinghe's mouth did not refer to Sun Wu, a master of the art of war in the Spring and Autumn Period, but Su Jinyuan, a famous general who assisted Taizu in this dynasty to open the country, Lin Tie has not yet wanted to be compared with Su Jinyuan, what he can teach these teenagers now is only some microscopic and tactical things, It's just that the things he has learned over the years as a soldier have been adapted, what is the real cold weapon war like, and only the few military books he read in Lin Bin's memory before gave him a general impression, which is obviously far from being proud.

The two bodies were dragged to the depths of the forest by Chen Enze and other teenagers, and Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe led the teenagers to prepare for the evacuation. At dusk, when Fu Qinghe led the teenagers and Su Mei and Xiaoman into the mountains and forests, Lin Jian and Chen Enze, Hu Qiaozhong, and Hu Qiaoguan stayed at the end to sweep the tail, and made some broken branches and remnants to cover the path into the mountains and forests as much as possible.

The huts stood alone on the grass outside the woods, and in the cold sunset, the thatch on the roof of the huts was blown by the strong wind, and a few white seabirds perched on the roof of the huts, croaking at the sunset, as if nothing had happened here.
