Shi Zhi looked down at himself, then at Shui Sheng, and said unconvinced: "Shui Sheng is just like me, he just looks thin, but his strength is not weak at all."
Shuisheng said hurriedly: "I don't have a mouth like yours."
"Haha, Shi Zhi, stop making excuses, it's the truth." Lin Yanle said.
Everyone laughed for a while and looked at both sides of the bank.
Lin Yan also looked at it seriously, "This is our first time here. We need to keep records of our travels. We are divided into several groups and take turns observing the situation on both sides."
There were six of them in total, and they were divided into three groups, one of two, with one person responsible for watching one side.
On May 4th, they entered the Yang River and sailed down the river. The boat speed was quite fast. Lin Yan looked at Pang Bao's records and walked more than three hundred miles in most of the day.
At night, the fleet moored at the river bank to rest.
Today's meal includes fried meat, and the aroma of rice wafts over the air.
Lin Yan swallowed. The most regretful thing he had to say was that he could no longer eat the food cooked by Hua Hong. The food on the ship was so simple that it was difficult to even have a good meal.
Huang Ying brought a plate of meat to Lin Yan, "Eat quickly. You look so greedy, you look like you have never eaten meat."
"Aren't you greedy?" Lin Yan took the plate quickly, "From yesterday when I got on the ship to now, I have been eating steamed buns and pancakes, and only drank a bowl of hot soup at noon. Who can resist it? I really want to eat it now. A bowl of noodles and scrambled eggs.”
"Don't think about it, it's good to eat some. I heard Captain Yun Qing say that if he sees geese or ducks tomorrow, he will stop to steal eggs and improve the food for everyone."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "Really? We are all going to steal eggs tomorrow. It would be even better if we can hunt geese or ducks. We can have a delicious meal."
Everyone was sitting next to each other in the cabin. Lan Yue said, "Captain Yun Qing has given orders to hunt geese and ducks for food storage."
"I'm relieved when you say that. I'll go hunting with you then." Lin Yan thought about it. This time, the food on the ship was limited. The most was flour and not much meat. He just wanted to hunt outside. .
In addition to eating it for himself, Lin Yan thought that if he met other tribes, he could also exchange it.
Everyone looked at her. With her small body, she was the shortest on the whole ship.
Yes, Lin Yan was the shortest one. Feng Wenwen was a few months younger than her, but ten centimeters taller than her.
Without speaking, just by looking at them, Lin Yan instantly understood what they meant, and said unconvinced: "You are looking down on me. Although I am short, there is no doubt about my strength."
She looked over one by one, "Which of you is as mentally strong as me? With me here, you can detect the enemy's situation the fastest and respond to emergencies quickly. It will definitely be a big help."
Huang Ying suppressed a smile and said, "You are right, we didn't say anything."
Lan Xing said cheerfully: "Lin Yan, we all know how powerful you are. But we can't live without you on this ship, so just stay here and let us charge into battle."
"Yes, you have to sit in the rear, how can you go out and take risks?"
How could Lin Yan not know that they didn't want her to hunt, so they didn't insist anymore, "We'll see what happens when the time comes."
After dinner, it was already dark, and there were people taking turns on duty on the boat. Lin Yan finished practicing and lay down anywhere to get ready to sleep.
After closing her eyes for a while, she opened them again.
Under the dim firelight, a few pairs of eyes opened. They looked at each other, sat up together, and rushed out of the cabin.
Staring in the direction of the shore, several people tensed up.
Yun Qing was inspecting the situation on the boat and saw them standing at the stern of the boat, staring at the river bank a few meters away. He walked over and asked, "What are you standing here looking at?"
"Shh." Lan Yue turned her head and made a silent gesture, pointing over there, indicating that something was approaching.
Yun Qing nodded and looked over there.
After waiting for ten minutes, she also heard a constant rustling sound, which was indeed coming towards the boat.
Yun Qing raised the knife in his hand and gave orders to the people following him, asking everyone to prepare.
The people on the ship had all been trained to take action immediately. They each picked up their weapons and hid in the cabin, ready to rush out at any time.
A few minutes later, Lin Yan and Lan Yue looked at each other and whispered, "It's a human being."
Lan Yue nodded. Their mental power levels were not much different and they could make the quickest judgment.
After waiting, the person approaching in the dark entered Lin Yan's mental range and was still more than ten meters away from the ship.
She saw that these people were hiding behind the grass and motionless, apparently observing the situation on the ship.
Lin Yan waved at the bow of the ship and asked everyone to enter the cabin. She squatted down and used the hull to hide herself.
Yun Qing hesitated for a moment, but then did as Lin Yan wanted.
Lan Yue asked everyone else to go back, and she and Lin Yan could just squat where they were.
Shuisheng and the others entered the cabin quietly without hesitation.
After more than ten minutes, people on the shore approached again. The boat was parked a few meters away from the shore, and those people entered the water.
However, what Lin Yan and Lan Yue didn't expect was that those people obviously underestimated the height of the ship's side from the water, and flopped in the water for a while without climbing out.
There were eight people in the water, and a dozen more were hiding on the shore, waiting with wooden sticks in their hands, obviously preparing for a sneak attack.
In fact, Lin Yan was still a little excited. This group of people could take the initiative to find them, otherwise they would not be found. When the ship leaves early tomorrow morning, they will not know that there are still people living here.
Looking at the two people who struggled in the water for a while before successfully flipping onto the boat, Lin Yan and others did not move for a while.
The two people lay wet on the ground, gasping for air, obviously very tired.
Waiting and waiting, they saw that they had not yet recovered, and the people in the water were still splashing around, making more and more noise.
Lin Yan felt that he really had no vision. If he didn't stand up, he would be fooled to death by them.
"Ahem..."
The two people lying on the ground gasping for breath stiffened, and then they realized what they were doing. He immediately stood up, clenched the wooden stick in his hand, and stared in Lin Yan's direction warily.
Yun Qing also walked out of the cabin with others, holding a torch.
Under the firelight, the two people were immediately exposed to everyone's sight.
The two rough men looked very strong. They only wore a weed apron around their waists. Their dark skin looked slippery with water.
Yun Qing shouted sharply: "Who are you?"
The two rough men looked at each other, and one of them shouted back.
But the people on the boat couldn't understand, couldn't understand the language, and couldn't communicate.
When Yun Qing came out, the people who followed him were already standing by the boat with crossbows in hand and staring at the water. The few people who were still splashing in the water realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned around and swam to the shore.
Yun Qing did not order the arrows to be fired, but just watched them go ashore, hiding in the grass and looking at the boat.
For a moment, neither party made any move.
