Chapter 719
on the Big Island.

Li Chongyuan and the others stayed for three or four months.

From the north to the west, the land was enclosed in the west for a month.

As soon as the enclosure was over, Li Chongyuan turned to the south again, and then went to the east again.

In short.

Li Chongyuan moved around in this way, firstly to explore this big island, secondly, he naturally wanted to find the rubber tree that Li Chongyuan wanted most.

But after several months of fighting, Li Chongyuan still got nothing.

Li Chongyuan didn't find the rubber tree, but he ate it all over the place.

It doesn't matter whether it's a big lobster, or some kind of sea fish, or even some kind of abalone, etc. In short, Li Chongyuan and the others almost vomited after eating it.

But even so.

Without finding the rubber tree, Li Chongyuan and the others really had nothing else to do.

This seafood got a lot, and even got a boat full.

"Yuan'er, we have been here for several months, should we go back? There is no trace of the tree you are looking for, if it is not possible, then give up." Several months later, Chen Juan felt that Li Chongyuan Feeling a little depressed, he tried to persuade him.

Li Chongyuan actually knew it too.

It is impossible to find this rubber tree, but I have been stuck in a dead end.

This is Ao Island, where are there any rubber trees?

It is possible to find it only by going to the other side of the ocean, at least for now.

Li Chongyuan had no choice but to nod his head helplessly, "Auntie, you may not know how important the tree I am looking for is to me, and how important it is to my Tang Dynasty. However, we have already looked for It has been a few months, and I am afraid that there is no such tree species here. It has been five months since we left Xisha Island, and it is time to go back."

Being away for half a year is really a very long time.

Li Chongyuan didn't know what the situation on Xisha Island was like, or what happened.

Since the rubber tree couldn't be found, Li Chongyuan and the others had no choice but to leave.

Drive along the east coast of the Big Island, heading towards the Torres Strait.

I went to Ba Island again and searched for it at will.

But this search still took Li Chongyuan and the others a month.

Fortunately, this month, it is not without any gains.

At least, the brothers in Qingfengzhai catch all kinds of big lobsters when they are free.

Li Chongyuan and the others also brought back some native animals from Ba Island.

Just like the cassowary, also called the cassowary.

Although the cassowary is a bird, it is a flightless bird.

He is taller than a human being and weighs as much as a human being.

As for the taste, Li Chongyuan didn't like it very much.

But in the case of the lack of meat in the Tang Dynasty, if you keep a few of these things at home, you can also solve the problem of eating meat.

And of course got some emus.

The emu is also a bird, although it is half the size of the cassowary, but it is not big enough for its size.

Although these two things are not comparable to ostriches, they are still meat anyway.

The only bad thing is that the cassowary is extremely aggressive.

Li Chongyuan and the others suffered a lot in order to capture these two things.

Fortunately, Li Chongyuan was prepared, otherwise, the dead would be normal.

Fortunately, the emu is more friendly, otherwise, Li Chongyuan and the others probably would have to resort to some tricks.

When Li Chongyuan and the others caught these things from Ba Island, Chen Juan and the others who were waiting at the beach were stunned for a long time, "Yuan'er, what is this?"

"Hey, aunt, these are good things. Look at them, although they don't look very good, they are big and have a lot of meat. The people of our Tang Dynasty are too miserable, so I want to get some back and cultivate them, and then By extension, when the time comes, if the common people of our Tang Dynasty raise a few dogs, then the common people will have some meat to eat." Li Chongyuan replied with a smile.

Chen Huan looked at it and came back, "Chongyuan, that egg is so big, how does it taste?"

"It's almost like an egg." Li Chongyuan replied casually.

Li Chongyuan captured at least [-] pairs of emus and cassowaries, two large flightless birds.

In addition to live bodies, no less than [-] eggs were picked up.

The eggs laid by these two things are one big.

An egg about ten centimeters long has never been seen in Tang country.

Even the eggs of a big goose are only a few centimeters long, and they cannot be compared with the eggs of these two things.

Although these two things grow slower than chickens, they can't hold their weight.

Otherwise, Li Chongyuan wouldn't come back with this thing.

Even if the common people can't raise many, even if they raise one or two, it's still meat.

After Chen Huan heard Li Chongyuan's words, he didn't care much.

The taste of such a big egg was almost the same as that of an egg, so how could this attract Chen Huan's attention.

After leaving Ba Island, head west all the way and enter the Maluku Sea from the original channel.

Ten days later, they arrived at the supply point, which was Li Chongyuan's territory, where the Blue Ridge tribe was located.

This time, Li Chongyuan didn't stay for too long. Li Chongyuan took Dawanka and left the Blue Ridge just the day after the supply ended.

All the members of the Blue Ridge Tribe stood respectfully by the seaside, watching Li Chongyuan and the others leave.

Li Chongyuan, the master, left.

However, Dawan still needs to build a wooden house belonging to Li Chongyuan according to Li Chongyuan's confession.

Moreover, whether the style of the wooden house is good, or the scene, or the area it occupies, it is really not a small project.

before leaving.

Li Chongyuan left all the cloth and stuff in the Blue Ridge Tribe.

Trading was impossible. Even if Li Chongyuan wanted to exchange the cloth for gold and silver, the Blue Ridge Tribe didn't have much gold and silver to trade.

but.

Li Chongyuan finally got a piece of news.

According to Na Dawan, thousands of miles away from their Blue Ridge, there is a tribe named Agu, who owns countless gold and silver.

But Li Chongyuan has no interest and doesn't have much time.

Otherwise, Li Chongyuan had to go over there to have a look.

Of course, the main reason was that Li Chongyuan didn't want to use violence to deal with these tribes, which would be equivalent to an adult beating a child.

Going back to Xisha was what Li Chongyuan should do.

all the way non-stop.

After passing through the Luzon Islands, we came to the Balintang Strait.

When Li Chongyuan and the others arrived at the Balintang Strait, they encountered a very strong typhoon.

As soon as the typhoon blew, Li Chongyuan became very nervous.

"Quickly, send a signal to all the ships that the typhoon is coming." Li Chongyuan felt the typhoon at sea for the first time, and feeling the typhoon on land is completely different.

Li Chongyuan knew even more.

The destructive power of a typhoon cannot be stopped by manpower.

Li Chongyuan, who was nervous, looked at Chen Juan and the others' boats in front of him, and seemed to have realized this, and was also waving a small flag in Li Chongyuan's direction.

Semaphore, this is the most common way of conveying information at present.

Signal sent.

All the ships began to approach.

Type A paddle steamers are on the periphery, and Type B and Type C paddle ships are all surrounded in the middle.

After all, the Type A ship is big enough, but the Type C paddle steamer is a bit small.

This is how Chen Juan and the others deal with the typhoon.

A typhoon is coming.

The strong wind caused the ships to shake constantly.

Be it the generals of the Xiang family, or Li Chongyuan and the others, they all couldn't bear it.

Belly tumbling, wishing to get out of the typhoon circle as soon as possible.

original.

Even Li Chongyuan, the officers and soldiers of the Xiang family who belonged to the north, couldn't bear the feeling of seasickness.

Fortunately, over the past few years, whether it is the officers and soldiers of the Xiang family or Li Chongyuan, they have gotten used to the feeling of being on the boat.

But with the typhoon, even though Li Chongyuan and the others were used to the shaking on the boat, the increased shaking immediately let them know what seasickness is.

"Tang Li, hurry up, tie me up, I'm afraid I'll jump into the sea if I can't take it anymore." Li Chongyuan vomited so badly that his forehead was already bleeding.

The feeling of deep seasickness made Li Chongyuan almost unable to control himself.

But at this moment, Xingba and the officers and men of the Xiang family are basically no different from him, Li Chongyuan. Steady and no more shaking.

But the typhoon is still not small, and it is still blowing strongly.

Tang Li and Liu Xiang were born in the south, they are familiar with water, so they never get seasick.

This is not.

The kidnapping was all done by the two of them.

The boat was out of control, so Tang Li and Liu Xiang could only control the boat to prevent it from being blown out of the fleet by the typhoon.

Li Chongyuan was tied to a post in the boat cabin.

But even though he was tied to the pillar, Li Chongyuan was still in great pain at this moment, wishing he could break free from the rope, escape from the cabin, and jump into the sea.

The feeling of seasickness is really too uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

It was hard to feel that Li Chongyuan regretted this long voyage.

Chen Juan and the others.

They are much better than Li Chongyuan and the others at the moment.

After long hours of training, multiple trips to sea, and the number of times they encountered typhoons, they seemed much calmer when dealing with harsh environments like typhoons.

Among hundreds of people, only a few people got seasick.

At this moment, Chen Juan was worried.

Worried that Li Chongyuan, a nephew, would not be able to withstand this typhoon.

But she is not on the same boat as Li Chongyuan, and she can only stay in the cabin, hoping that nothing will happen to Li Chongyuan, and that her nephew will not be injured because of such a bad typhoon.

The fleet is gathered together.

All kinds of ropes were connected, and the ships were not blown away by the strong typhoon, let alone a ship was blown away.

That's the advantage of big ships.

Can resist this kind of harsh typhoon, and can survive under this kind of harsh typhoon.

The typhoon lasted from the afternoon of that day until the afternoon of the next day.

In the afternoon of the second day, the wind of the typhoon finally weakened.

Although the wind of the typhoon weakened, Li Chongyuan still didn't dare to be careless, and still tied himself to the pillar, quietly enjoying the seasickness that made him want to commit suicide.

The morning of the third day.

The typhoon is getting smaller and smaller.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan felt that the typhoon outside had decreased by at least [-]%.

As soon as the typhoon passed, Tang Li untied the rope that bound Li Chongyuan, "My lord, you should take a rest quickly, it must be extremely uncomfortable after being tied up for a day or two."

"Outside, what's going on outside? The ship, is the ship affected?" Li Chongyuan, who had just been released, was still severely seasick, and his speech seemed intermittent.

Liu Xiang ran to respond, "Several ships were damaged due to being too close to the ship's sides and hulls, but they are not serious and can still continue to sail."

"That's good. Hurry up and send a signal to Auntie and the others, hurry up and sail, leave here, and go to Daliuqiu Island." Li Zhanyuan was afraid.

Really scared.

After two or three days of typhoons, Li Chongyuan was already exhausted.

He vomited so much that he had no food for a long time, and suffered severe shaking. Seasickness had already made him weak and unable to hold on.

Xingba and the others are similar to Li Chongyuan, there is no difference at all.

The steering of the boat can only be done by Tang Li and Liu Xiang.

Fortunately, the paddle steamer does not require too many people to operate, at least two people can operate it.

One to push the paddle, one to steer, it's that simple.

If the ship needs too many people to operate, then Li Chongyuan and the others will have to continue to enjoy the shaking feeling here.

After receiving the signal, Chen Juan and the others immediately sailed after knowing that Li Chongyuan and the others were fine.

after one day.

The ship arrived at the southernmost part of Flowing Ball Island.

When Li Chongyuan and his fleet arrived here, thousands of small boats were parked there.

And at a glance, these ships knew that they were all pirate ships.

After seeing so many ships parked in a sheltered harbor in the distance, Chen Juan did not sail in, but continued to head north.

And this time.

In that safe harbor, someone had already discovered Li Chongyuan's fleet.

"Hurry up and inform the head of the family, you have found the people from Qingfengzhai." The pirates have already discovered Li Chongyuan and the others.

Not long after, thousands of small boats sailed out of the harbor, chasing after Li Chongyuan and his fleet.

It is unintentionally wishful thinking that these pirate fleets want to catch up with Li Chongyuan and his paddle steamer.

This is not.

Less than an hour later, the pirates could no longer see Li Chongyuan and his fleet, and could only curse on the vast sea.

night.

Li Chongyuan and the others came to the coast of Tang State, very close to Quanzhou.

Here, there is no typhoon, and it even looks a little stuffy.

Li Chongyuan, who finally recovered, stood on the deck, looked towards the direction of Quanzhou, and sighed, "Fortunately, our ship is big enough, otherwise, we would all have to die under the sea in that typhoon."

"Xiao Langjun, you still have the foresight to build these A-type paddle steamers. I guess, if we take a B-type paddle steamer, we may not be able to withstand the strong wind, and it must be blown over. If so , then we really have to feed the fish in the sea." Xing Ba also said with lingering fear.

Everyone complimented Li Chongyuan one by one.

Li Chongyuan smiled awkwardly, "I'm not a foresight here, I just know the power of the typhoon."

A few days later, Li Chongyuan and the others returned to Xisha Island.

After more than July, I finally came back.

At the same time, it was disappointing.
