After settling in, Shen Jiarui couldn't help but ask Wen Xue, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly get off the ship and move everything down?"
"The water flow has changed and suddenly rose. It should be due to heavy rain upstream. We don't know the specific situation, so we can only stop temporarily and wait for the water flow to calm down before leaving."
Shen Jiarui raised his head and looked at the sky, "The sun is shining brightly in the sky and there are no clouds in the sky. How can there be any rain?"
Wen Xue looked like she was looking at a fool, "I just said, it's upstream. We go upstream and are always affected by the currents upstream. If the river water surges, the boat will be destroyed and people will die."
Shen Jiarui understood, he just didn't expect it just now. He smiled brightly, "You know better, I didn't expect this."
"Oh, you have zero travel experience. If we count on you, who can rest assured with so many people?"
Shen Jiarui seemed not to hear her sarcasm, "You can teach me more in the future and follow you around. I feel I have learned a lot. If there is anything I can do, just ask. If nothing else, I am very good at work. , just moved a lot of things.”
"Okay, rest now. I won't be polite when I need you." Wen Xue was impatient. She had just finished the transfer and had to worry about the river rising. How could she bother to talk to him so much.
Lin Yan climbed to the top of the tree and looked into the distance. The view here is broad and you can see far away. If there is a flood, you can see it at a glance.
For safety reasons, they found a relatively high hill some distance away from the shore.
I have been waiting for two days. The river has not swelled sharply. The water is slowly increasing and has not stabilized. I dare not go by boat.
Fortunately, everyone obeyed orders and no one questioned Lin Yan's decision.
While waiting, everyone also wanted to eat and drink. Shen Jiarui volunteered to go hunting with Lin Yan and the others.
When he saw Lin Yan hunting, he couldn't help but fell silent. That speed, agility, and swiftness were like an afterimage, elusive and unpredictable.
Let alone a ferocious beast, if he were a human being, if he was targeted by Lin Yan, he would only be tortured and killed.
Shen Jiarui's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Yan, as if he was looking at glowing gold. He also wanted to be as agile and knowledgeable as Lin Yan.
Wen Xue saw it and laughed softly: "Are you envious?"
"Who is not envious?" Shen Jiarui said generously, "To tell you the truth, aren't you envious of Lin Yan?"
"I'm envious too, but not jealous." Wen Xue thought for a while and said seriously: "I have always regarded Lin Yan as my idol. She is a very good role model. With her around, when I want to be lazy, I will think about how talented I am. If you don't succeed, you will be left behind if you don't work hard. You don't know how many geniuses there are in the alliance. They are all smart and diligent, and they will be surpassed if they are not careful. These people have always regarded Lin Yan as their target, hoping to be on the same side as her. high."
Lin Yan heard this and interjected: "Isn't there anyone who wants to surpass me?"
Wen Xue shook her head, "You stand too high. People who truly understand will not overestimate their capabilities."
"This is not right. I would rather see someone surpass me."
Shen Jiarui's courage is commendable, "I want to surpass you."
"Very good, work hard. I'm waiting for the day when you surpass me." Lin Yan patted his shoulder, "I applaud your courage. Now work hard and take care of the prey."
After waiting for another three days, the river gradually calmed down and the boat sailed normally, heading upstream.
The next month or so went smoothly.
When we reached a shallow beach, the terrain was gentle and the water surface was very wide.
Suddenly hearing shouts from the shore, Lin Yan rushed out of the cabin and followed the sound.
There were really people waving their arms towards the boat on the shore.
She immediately ordered to change direction and the ship docked.
As we got closer to the river bank, we could see more clearly, the dark young faces of six people, naked and swimming in the river.
He was not shy when he saw people. He excitedly waved his arms towards the boat and chirped something.
Lin Yan looked around. This place was less than a month away from Mingcheng. He had not found anyone there before, but this time he bumped into it.
They should be the natives of the wasteland. According to Shen Tianlin, the west near Tianduan Mountain is where the descendants of exiled sinners live.
Lin Yan took Wen Xue off the boat, took out the food he brought as a gift, and made random gestures with the other party, and they agreed to take it home.
Shen Jiarui insisted on following them. He was curious about what the life of these indigenous people was like.
The weeds on the side of the road are taller than people. They must be the paths trampled by people who often go to the river.
Lin Yan thought to himself that if he could find a way out, there wouldn't be too many people in this strange place.
After walking for about ten minutes, I saw a mess of thatched houses. It was a village with about a hundred households.
Lin Yan used Pang Bao's help to communicate with those young people and could roughly understand a few words.
He communicated with several people in a bad tone and strange accent.
Shen Jiarui was dumbfounded. He didn't understand a word he said, "Wen Xue, Lin Yan is so awesome. He's only just a little while ago and he can speak other people's words."
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it was extremely clear that Lin Yan had just met these people. He really couldn't believe that Lin Yan could learn an unfamiliar language so quickly.
Wen Xue smiled and said warmly: "This is Lin Yan's charm. Never underestimate her, she can always do incredible things."
"How did she do it?" Shen Jiarui was extremely curious, "I listened very carefully and didn't understand a single word."
Wen Xue shook his head, "Individual talents are different, so don't force it. Lin Yan often wanders around outside, and his language talent has been developed long ago. When you have more experience, you may also find your own unique method."
Entering the village, a group of people gathered around. Only simple clothes woven from thatch were used to cover important parts of the body. Most of the children were naked and looked at Lin Yan and the three of them laughing.
After a while, an old man with white hair and beard arrived panting, and all the villagers stepped aside to make room for the old man.
It can be seen that the old man is the most authoritative person in the village.
The rich old man frowned when he looked at the clothes of Lin Yan and the others.
No outsiders have ever come to the village. They are all natives and have taken root here generation after generation.
This is the first time an outsider has come, I don’t know if it’s good or bad.
Lin Yan spoke in a weird tone and gestured: "I'm Lin Yan. I was passing by here and came in when I saw someone. I didn't mean any harm. What do you call it? What's the name of the village?"
The rich old man didn't understand, but he understood some of Lin Yan's gestures, "Are you Lin Yan?"
The tone of the word Lin Yan he spoke was also very strange.
But with Pang Bao as an assist, Lin Yan understood. She started gesticulating happily and talked a lot.
The two of them competed and guessed, and finally were able to communicate simply.
To show sincerity and prove that they had no ill intentions, Lin Yan asked Shen Jiarui to go to the boat to get some food and cloth to give to the rich old man.
She named the village Fucun. She was a pure aborigine and had never had contact with the outside world.
