Chapter 371 Getting Ready
It was deep winter, and it seemed that there was not much time until the Spring Festival. Yu Feng and Tu Hongxing joined the army for the first year. There was no annual leave for this Spring Festival, but the military headquarters they belonged to was not far from Spring City. Some time ago Transferred from the border back to the place of origin, there is still a chance to go home on the rest day.

The two wrote a letter to Xia Yanru early stating that when they would come back, they asked Xia Yanru to prepare more delicious food for the two of them. Since these days, although they have not been hungry in the military department, they still eat food every day. The training is very intensive, and I often want to eat something good, but there is no such supply.

This is the second Spring Festival that Xia Yanru is about to experience in this world. She returned to Shan'ao Village last year, but this time she is still hesitating. The main concern is Ji Wenlin.

After getting acquainted with Ji Wenlin, she realized that Ji Wenlin had celebrated the New Year by herself all these years. When she heard what Zhou Wei said, she sympathized with Ji Wenlin from the bottom of her heart. I can only spend the holidays alone for a year.

Ying Fengshan also sent letters several times urging her to go back to Shan'ao Village. It's not that Xia Yanru didn't miss Fangniang, she hasn't gone back to visit her for a long time. If she doesn't go back this Spring Festival, she probably won't know until the next meeting. When.

Moreover, Xia Yanru actually has an intuition in her heart. If she can really find the ancient country of Baimin this time, maybe there is not much time left before she goes back. All the information finally gathered points to the ancient country of Baimin. The ancient country is not the end, it is almost there.

After that, Xia Yanru basically didn't leave the house, but with Tang Yulou's efforts, only one-tenth of the progress was left unsolved.

Seeing that Xia Yanru was a little passive and sabotage, Tang Yulou was very impatient, because her mouth was covered with blisters. With Xia Yanru's help before, the cracking speed was much faster, but once Xia Yanru slackened down, He felt that the progress was obviously slowed down.

On this day, Tang Yulou was really anxious, so he found Ji Wenlin's house directly. He knew that Xia Yanru had lived here all the time, and when he came, Xia Yanru was planning to go back to the study to read a book after dinner.

"Girl, you are not authentic." Tang Yulou complained as soon as he entered the study.

Of course, Tang Yulou didn't really want to complain, but seeing Xia Yanru's comfortable appearance was a little unbalanced, and secondly, it was a bit of a joke.

"Uncle Lou, sit down." With outsiders present, Xia Yanru naturally couldn't lie down lazily according to her temper, but she wasn't in that serious sitting posture either.

"Hey, look at the blisters on your uncle's mouth. I can't eat any food recently, so I can only drink some porridge." Tang Yulou was not polite, he found a chair at random and sat down, and then began to sell miserably.

"What are you in a hurry for? Even if it's all untied now, do you still want to spend the New Year outside?" Xia Yanru laughed. It is true that she is a little slack, but it is all calculated. She will not leave before the Spring Festival. Yes, besides, Ji Wenlin hasn't come back yet, so we have to wait for him to come back before leaving.

"I know, but besides deciphering the map, we have other things to prepare. We can't just rely on a map and set off?" Tang Yulou also thought a lot, thinking that he should prepare everything in advance, just in case If you encounter a temporary departure situation, you will not be numb.

Xia Yanru lowered her head and thought for a while. The preparation work must be done in advance. A lot of equipment is not readily available. After previous experience, some equipment has to be customized in advance this time. This will take a lot of time.

Thinking this way, after a long time, Xia Yanru raised her head and said, "Let's do this, Uncle Lou, work harder, and I will leave the equipment to you. As for the map, you can find time to send it to me, and I will take care of it."

Tang Yulou thought about it for a while. Although he had rich experience, when he worked with Xia Yanru to crack the map this time, he obviously found that his ability was not as good as Xia Yanru's. If Xia Yanru was responsible for the map, he would definitely be faster than himself.

One of the two people is responsible for cracking the map, and the other is responsible for preparing the equipment. If this is done simultaneously, it is estimated that the overall efficiency will be improved a lot, and the most important thing is that Tang Yulou also found that the remaining part of the map is more and more important to him. The more difficult it is, it's better to leave it to Xia Yanru, maybe the result can be obtained in advance.

Tang Yulou came in a hurry and left in a hurry. When he came, he originally wanted to persuade Xia Yanru to move more, so he didn't bring anything. Now that he had finished discussing with Xia Yanru, he didn't delay at all, thinking that it was still early , Now go back and bring the map over, and then he can concentrate on preparing things for going out.

Ji Wenlin had already handed in the original map, Xia Yanru and the others had copies, but Tang Yulou's had already made a lot of notes, it was more detailed than Xia Yanru's, that's why Tang Yu was there Lou sent pictures over this crop.

In the days that followed, Xia Yanru also put away her lazy mind. Most of the map had already been unlocked, and the remaining part was complicated for Tang Yulou, but it was not that difficult for Xia Yanru.

There is a saying in the ancient book "Shan Hai Jing": "The country of Baimin is in the north of Longyu, with a white body and hair. There is Chenghuang, which looks like a fox, with horns on its back, and the life span of Cheng is two thousand years old."

This text says that the ancient Baimin country is one of the 36 overseas countries, but this overseas does not really refer to the location beyond the sea. The overseas in the ancient books is actually not as far away as the public thinks.

According to Xia Yanru's research, the West Sea mentioned in the ancient books probably corresponds to the Sichuan-Shu Basin. Due to the special geographical environment and the impassable water flow of the Sichuan-Shu Basin in ancient times, the West Sea gradually formed in the Sichuan-Shu area. It's a bit of a barrier lake.

Later, during Dayu's flood control period, the Dragon Gate was dug, and then the Yellow River was opened, and finally the Three Gorges was dug to open the Yangtze River channel. In this way, the water in the West Sea flowed smoothly to the sea. Over time, the Sichuan-Shu Basin was revealed.

In this way, the approximate location of the West Sea is basically determined, so the next step is to analyze the place names that appear on the map. Most of the place names have been successfully matched, and the rest are not missing, but cover some other information , This is the most difficult part for Tang Yulou.

Xia Yanru took the map sent by Tang Yulou, and after studying it day and night for a long time, she finally had a clue. Originally, the general orientation could be determined, but because she wanted to determine which mountain it was on, How to go about the specific route is very troublesome.

According to the records of the ancient Baimin country in ancient books, the location is dominated by mountains and forests, and the most indispensable thing in the Sichuan-Shu Basin is the mountains and plateaus, and there are many mountains that meet the conditions. If you want to filter one by one, this is not It can be done in a short time, so Xia Yanru never planned to use such a stupid method from the beginning.
