Chapter 602: So cool
Fang Jifan seemed to see a group of little wolves who had just taken off their breasts, screaming and revealing their baby teeth, and their sharpness appeared.
What he wants is such a guy.
One article every day is to cultivate patience and bring people's potential to the limit.
In the academy, living with farmers and eating and drinking with them is to let them experience the hardships. They can’t do it by just knowing how to do the questions, they have to pour the toilet by themselves, and they have to learn to communicate with others.
Occasionally, they will take them to sprint, let them fly balls, and see the beautiful mountains and rivers. This is to cultivate their ambitions and tell them that some things are not available on the desk, and things that cannot be obtained on the desk are obtained immediately.
They even had to farm, which was to let them know where the rice came from so as not to make a joke about not eating meat.
These people in Xishan Academy are like gyros every day, under this huge high pressure, they fully realize their potential.
They have the roots of new learning, deeply agree with the theory of unity of knowledge and action, and use the eight-legged essay as their stepping stone. They can ride and shoot and fencing. In the Xishan Mountain, they know where ore is dug out and how grain grows in the ground. They have suffered hardships that others cannot endure and are tenacious.
Fang Jifan was very satisfied with this training.
On that day, camping and barbecue, bonfires were lit, and fat sheep's legs were placed on the bonfire. The boiled oil dripped into the bonfire. The students took the daggers and cut the roasted golden meat from the lamb legs. Then, the disciple presented the tenderest part to his mentor, and the junior presented the best part to his junior brother. Ouyang Zhi held the plate and sent the essence of the lamb legs to Fang Jifan.
"Teacher, eat."
Fang Jifan said: "Have you put the Thirteen Incense?"
"Let it go."
“Is it spicy?”
"Yes."
Fang Jifan nodded, took a sip of tea first, and looked at the bonfires outside, and felt warm. It was a pleasant thing to have children and grandchildren.
After eating a bite of mutton, I couldn't help but shake my head, and then I learned to be a scholar and exclaimed happily: "Alas! So tender, it's so tender!"
Ouyang Zhili was standing aside. No matter what his mentor said, he was already used to it. He only looked at the flames outside and stared blankly.
Fang Jifan said, "You can eat too."
"Oh, oh." Ouyang Zhi nodded for a moment before nodding. After thinking about it, he said, "Students first serve their mentor."
Fang Jifan feasted, and the mutton was not as good as the wine and food cooked by Mr. Wen. The important thing is to eat an atmosphere.
Fang Jifan said, "Good disciple, what are you thinking?"
“…”
Ouyang Zhi had no expression on his face, as if he was pondering for a moment: "The student is thinking, how great it would be if Junior Brother Xu and Junior Brother Tang were here."
Fang Jifan said: "Which junior brother Xu?"
Ouyang Zhi said: "Junior Brother Xu Jingxu."
Fang Jifan then threw down his chopsticks and sighed: "This guy Xu Jing, the one who values him the most. He didn't know where he went on this long journey. He was always worried about him."
"Why……"
"It has been half a year since Xu Jing went to sea, right?" Fang Jifan's eyes reflected the flames of the bonfire outside.
"My teacher, I have been out of the sea for 152 days." Ouyang Zhi said.
Fang Jifan said: "When you part, it's like yesterday. You must learn more from him."
"yes."
Fang Jifan picked up the thin meat from the lamb legs and sighed: "I don't know if Heng's father lived on the sea or whether he was hungry. I really hope to give this piece of lamb to him. I'll eat it for him."
The mutton is smooth and the fishy smell is covered by the thirteen fragrance. The slightly burnt leather on the surface is crisp, while the spicy taste stimulates Fang Jifan's tongue. Oh, it hurts and is happy, so good.
………………………………………
The fleet had the first experience of going to sea, quickly crossed the West, and then arrived at the Wooden Bone Trap.
When you arrive here, you must master the ocean currents and follow the wind power of the ocean currents and sails, and you will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
This is also the reason why Xu Jing is looking for a route.
When they reached Muguduhu, they had already found the direction of the ocean current. Therefore, they started from Muguduhu and went south along the coast of Kunlun Island.
But then, something terrible happened.
They suddenly discovered that Kunlun Continent was a barren continent that could not supply two thousand military and civilians.
Throughout the road, due to plague, the number of people who died by poisonous snakes when they landed on the shore has reached 300.
This is a huge number.
When the sailors finally crossed the Indian Ocean and endured the drift for almost a month, they saw the land where the bones were tied, they went crazy and cheered in tears.
But then, the order they received was to continue moving south.
Go south and bypass Kunlun Continent.
The supply was insufficient, so everyone had to save money. Everyone could receive only a small bean sprout, half a tael of jerky meat, and three taels of dry food.
If these foods were given to ordinary people on land, they might be able to persevere.
But people are in the vast ocean, and people are looking at the sea on all sides alone. They still need to keep rising sails and grasp the direction of the wind at any time. In this bumpy situation, people's energy is consumed very quickly, and everyone's morale has reached a low point.
Emotions have begun to arise in the fleet. They want to go home but can’t continue to walk. If they continue, they will be getting farther and farther away from their hometown. When will they... go home?
go home.
When a person had this idea, almost everyone began to return home.
The entire fleet began to become ready to move.
Xu Jing held the lamp, and at this moment he was in the cabin, eating the same amount of dry food as everyone else.
He was hungry and had a pale face and thin skin. The dry food was harder than a stone. He had to suck his teeth. However, the fresh water on the boat was the most precious resource. Everyone could only get a small cup. It was extremely luxurious to eat dry food with this hard-earned water. So Xu Jing stuffed the dry food into his cheeks and fought against the dry food again and again with his teeth.
call……
Finally, he bit off the dry food and swallowed it with the secreted spit, mixed it with the dry food. Then his throat felt like he was about to pass a dangerous obstacle, and Xu Jing breathed a long sigh of relief.
He knew that morale was on the verge of collapse. As an ambassador, he must share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. Otherwise, he would be afraid that the entire fleet would be collapsed without the need to be tied up.
The next day, the fleet found a mudflat for landing, so it parked the boat outside the sea. Xu Jing led everyone to the ashore to collect tamsui.
As soon as they saw that they were about to land, everyone on the boat was rushing to land, but when they landed, besides the scorching sun, there was the yellow sand all over the ground. Although it was not a desert, the environment here was quite dangerous.
"Dig the ground and look for clear springs." Xu Jing's skin was bronze and his skin was so skinny that he could no longer hold on to the Qinxiu Flying Fish Clothes when he went out to sea. Therefore, the washed white Flying Fish Clothes looked particularly wide, and the sword hanging around his waist was the only thing that made people feel at ease was his eyes, which were very vivid.
The soldiers were looking for a place to camp, and the scouts began to search for possible people nearby and predict certain unpredictable risks. More people were desperately looking for water sources or trying to dig wells.
Xu Jing walked on the beach with his hands behind his back.
Yang Xiong caught up with him: "Ambassador, we...we..."
Xu Jing looked sideways and looked at Yang Xiong: "What?"
Yang Xiong said: "We can't continue to go south. Everyone said that if we bypass this Kunlun Continent, even if we want to go back, it will be difficult for us to go back. At that time, we will not know how many hardships we have experienced. Ambassador Xu, what we are sailing today is longer than the three treasure eunuchs at the time. The soldiers' physical strength and energy have reached their limits, and they..."
Xu Jing stared at him: "What about you, Commander Yang, the most important thing is, what do you think?"
Yang Xiong lowered his head, looked ashamed and dared not speak.
Xu Jing suddenly had red eyes and pointed his fingers in the direction of the vast ocean: "At this point, we are so close to the ends of the world, so we are going back like this? How difficult is it to go along the way? Why do we have to return without success? We have carried the expectations of many people. Of course, I cannot make decisions for you and make you sacrifice for these thousands of expectations, but you and I don't go south, bypass this time, and go to a wider ocean to find the divine land. Who can find it? Don't you know that the Franji people have already found it first? We have already made people come first. We have returned without success this time. So when will we have to wait for next time before we can come again?"
Xu Jing said viciously: "You and I work together. Although we are not connected by blood, we have no difference with our brothers. If you mention these words privately, it's fine. If you dare to declare a word to the outside world, I will rule you with military law."
Yang Xiong hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm not afraid anymore."
Xu Jing did not speak. After a moment, a scout came back, saying that there was no people nearby, and there was only a native tribe, who was just drinking blood and eating meat. He could not communicate with them, and when he got close, he seemed to be prone to hostility, so he simply returned.
A small tribe, with only a hundred people, seemed meaningless to exchange materials with them. Xu Jing nodded and immediately ordered people to set up camp.
Even if they are used to wandering at sea, it is a luxury for them to take a short rest on land.
At night, water finally came out of the well. Xu Jing, surrounded by the guards, felt a little calmer when he saw the gushing of fresh water.
If that map is not wrong, you will be able to reach the southernmost end of Kunlun Island in a few days, where... Franji said it is just the Cape of Good Hope.
