Chapter 677 Empty Mayan City
"Here! Come!" With the cheers of the crowd on the dock, several long masts suddenly appeared on the distant sea surface, followed by several long sails appearing on the sea surface, and as the distance approaches, they become more and more
It has become taller and taller. However, if someone with good eyesight can quickly discover that the sails in the distance are colorful, and there are patches in many places, looking like beggar costumes.
After a while, the fleet in the distance finally jumped out from below the sea level and was completely presented to Li Yan and others. However, when everyone saw the appearance of this fleet, they were all in love.
Qi, because the appearance of this fleet is so miserable, there are only a dozen large ships left in the entire fleet. Not only are the sails patched, but even the hull is also broken. You can see the boards everywhere.
The cracks and the patched wooden boards can be said to be almost all of these ships on the verge of scrapping.
Many people cried on the spot when the crew members from Luzon saw the miserable appearance of the fleet, because they all knew that two years were not enough to make the fleet look like this, unless they met it.
There was a great storm, and in the storm, the fleet must have suffered considerable casualties, that is, their relatives probably did not come back with the fleet.
Li Yan and the others also sank their hearts, and most of them were guessing the casualties of the fleet, and the atmosphere on the dock also fell silent for a moment.
Lu Wan's fleet quickly entered the port, and the pilot ship guided them into the berth. At this time, everyone, including Li Yan, walked forward to prepare to welcome him.
At this time, the people on the boat also leaned out of the side of the boat and watched down. As a result, several families recognized their relatives and began to call loudly. The crew members on the boat also responded loudly with tears in their eyes, causing the families below to
They were even more anxious and ran back and forth between more than a dozen large ships, looking for their families.
Li Yan came to the main ship of the fleet. He knew this ship called Global. It was a long-distance ship customized by Lu Wan at the official shipyard in Taiwan after exploring the second route of Perfection. It was built very well.
They are all Lu Wan's ships. However, the Universe in front of me is dilapidated, with scratches everywhere on the hull, and there are traces of repair. There is even a small piece missing at the stern of the ship. Although it does not affect the navigation,
But it's very unsightly.
Just as Li Yan and the others were looking at the Universe, they saw a flash of figures on the boat, and finally someone began to walk towards the boat. According to the rules, the first person to disembark should be the person with the highest status on the boat, that is, the captain Lu Wan. Today's situation is also
No exception, while Li Yan and others were waiting, Captain Lu Wan was the first to get off the ship.
But when Li Yan and the others saw Lu Wan, they were all stunned, because although Lu Wan in front of him had a smile, he was leaning on a crutch in his right hand, and a sea breeze blew over. He blew up his hem, which made everyone
You can see that the place where Lu Wan’s right leg was originally empty now.
"Caughter-in-law, please see Your Majesty!" Lu Wan walked off the boat with a crutch and bowed to Li Yan.
"Lu Wan, your legs?" Li Yan hurriedly supported Lu Wan and asked with great concern. Now that he was close, Li Yan realized that Lu Wan not only had one right leg missing, but also was thin.
He was amazing, his face was a little pale. It seemed that losing one leg would cause great harm to his body.
"Your Majesty, just one leg, compared to those brothers who were buried at the bottom of the sea, it's nothing!" Lu Wan said silently. His words also confirmed the previous speculation of Li Yan and others. Lu Wan and others.
This time, I must have suffered a huge disaster.
"Husband~" At this moment, Lu Wan's old wife could no longer help it, and she didn't care that Li Yan was talking to Lu Wan. She cried bitterly on Lu Wan's chest, and there were also Lu Wan's few more.
The children were also very sad. In addition, the list of some dead crew members was also announced by other crew members, which caused the families of these crew members to cry.
Originally, Li Yan had prepared a banquet to welcome Lu Wan and the others, but he did not expect such an accident to happen. He did not care about the welcome and hurriedly arranged for the crew and his family to meet and talk to the residence to stabilize the family's emotions first.
Besides, it was afternoon that Lu Wan and some senior crew members came to meet Li Yan, and then told them about their experiences over the past two years.
It turned out that two years ago, after Lu Wan and Li Ke separated, they followed a southward current to the equator of the Atlantic Ocean. Here they found an ocean current leading to the Americas, which made the entire fleet very excited.
Advance towards America by boat.
Originally, they were moving very smoothly at the beginning, but what they didn't expect was that because they were not familiar with the Atlantic climate, it happened to be the high season for typhoons in the Atlantic Ocean, but the typhoons here were called hurricanes in later generations.
It is precisely because of this that when Lu Wan and the others were about to arrive in the Americas, they suddenly encountered a big storm. The waves at that time were several feet high. If their big ships were not specially made and had excellent stability,
It was probably all overturned in that big storm.
Although the storm was strong, fortunately, the members of Lu Wanhe's fleet were all experienced. Before the storm reached its maximum, Lu Wan made a quick decision and abandoned some small boats that could not resist the wind and waves, and concentrated all the crew members.
It was his decision that caused the fleet to lose almost all of the medium-sized ships, but the casualties were not very serious. Except for more than a dozen crew members being swept away by the storm, the others were at most slightly injured.
, and it is worth mentioning that Lu Wan's legs were still intact at this time.
However, after this storm, more than a dozen large ships of the fleet were also greatly damaged. Some ships were even blown to the reef, and the hull broke several large holes. Fortunately, the crew tried hard to repair them, so the ship did not sink.
And he barely continued sailing to America.
The next journey did not encounter any big storms, and the fleet also successfully arrived at an archipelago that was very close to the American continent. Among these archipelago, there were two islands of considerable size. Later, Li Yan looked at it.
After looking at the chart provided by Lu Wan and the others, we found out that this archipelago is located in the Caribbean Sea in later generations.
Lu Wan and his friends stayed on the island for quite a long time, mainly to repair the damage suffered by the ships in the storm. At the same time, they also contacted the indigenous people on the island. The languages of these people belonged to the same language family as the Mayan language, although Liu
The language master of Kata is not in the fleet, but there are other translations in the fleet that understand the Mayan language, so it is not difficult to communicate.
The indigenous people on the island claim to be the Arava people. They came from America on a small boat hundreds of years ago to settle on the island. The civilization of these Arava people was very backward, without the concept of a country, and even lagging behind the Mayans.
Many, but they were very friendly to Lu Wan and the others, and took out a lot of food to exchange porcelain, cotton and other daily necessities with the fleet.
Lu Wan and the others have already had experience in contact with Americans, and there is no problem with language communication, so they also got some very useful news from the Arava people, such as the annual climate of the Atlantic Ocean and some islands within the Caribbean Sea.
Distribution and so on. However, the natives on these islands rarely communicate with the natives on the American continent, so they know very little about the situation in the Americas, and even less than Lu Wan and others know much.
After staying in this archipelago for a while, the injured ships in the fleet were almost repaired. They then moved west again. As a result, they finally arrived at the east coast of America, and by chance, they
He actually arrived directly at the Yucatan Peninsula, the birthplace of the Mayans.
The Yucatan Peninsula is a prominent rectangular peninsula on the east coast of Central America. The north of the peninsula is the later Gulf of Mexico, and the southeast is the Caribbean Sea. The peninsula is rich in corn, sugar cane and cocoa, and it is also the birthplace of the Mayans.
The peninsula is full of Mayan city-states. When Lu Wan and his friends first arrived in the Americas, they met the Mayans in the city of Chola. Their city was originally located on this peninsula.
At the beginning, Lu Wan and the others didn't know that the coast they were docking was the Yucatan Peninsula. They just found a beach to dock along the wind, and then sent a team to the shore, hoping to find someone who could communicate with each other.
Americans, let’s find out how far this place is from the west coast of America? If the other party can know about Jora City or Luwan Harbor, it would be the best.
But what Lu Wan and the others did not expect was that after their fleet landed, they searched near the coast for several days, but they did not find a single person. They even found a small village not far from the coast.
But the entire village is empty.
What's even more strange is that Lu Wan and his friends found in the village that there were a lot of moldy and spoiled food in many houses, and even a few foods could still be eaten because of their proper preservation. And some daily necessities were also present, but they were not seen.
A figure seemed to be like the people in the entire village encountered some major danger, so they moved away in a hurry, and even the food was not completely taken away.
Faced with this situation, Lu Wan and the others felt a little incredible. Judging from the style of the temple in the middle of the village and the text in the temple, this village should be a village where the Mayans live. And in the temple
There are also several corpses who died of blood sacrifice. Judging from the decay of these corpses, the village was still inhabited at least half a year ago.
Faced with such an empty village, although Lu Wan and the others were puzzled, they did not go into it too deeply. After all, they were not detectives, and they also got some useful information from here, such as this is the Mayan territory, so it should be possible.
I've heard some useful news.
However, what Lu Wan and the others did not expect was that they landed several times on the Yucatan Peninsula next, and even found a small city by the sea. However, both the villages and the cities were empty, as if all the Mayans were
