Chapter 1236 Step through the iron shoes and find nowhere
Everyone was already curious about what happened in the past two days and two nights, and had been holding back their questions for a long time. After hearing this, they were even more eager to know. Lin Jue drank all the beef porridge, and then told what happened in the cave these past few days.
Of course, the key parts must be concealed, otherwise Gao Muqing would lose his temper if he revealed those details in the face of Gao Muqing's probing and suspicious eyes.
"Mr. Lin is really smart. He knows how to make fires and smoke to save himself. We saw the smoke coming out and that's why we rushed here. We haven't stopped looking for these two days and nights, but we just can't find it. The two girls
I have cried several times." Sun Dayong said.
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing and Bai Bing gratefully and said, "Why, do you think I'm dead?"
Gao Muqing said: "You are missing everywhere, so of course I thought something unexpected happened. Who would have thought that you were living so well in the cave eating snake soup and roasting on the fire. We went out to look for it at night, and Bing'er and I almost fell off the cliff. We
We have thought about it all, we want to see people when we are alive, and we want to see corpses when we die. If something happens to my husband, we will not live either."
Lin Jue felt moved and guilty in her heart. Although it was not as nourishing as eating snake meat and roasting it on the fire as she said, she did do something sorry for them. It made them worried.
"I'm sorry that you have suffered. I shouldn't have taken risks. I won't be a burden on such things in the future." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Bai Bing said hurriedly: "Isn't everything fine now? It's just a small show. I knew everything would be fine."
Lin Jue looked at Bai Bing's charming smile and said, "Why didn't you see the smoke the day before? It made me suffer in the cave for another day."
"The wind was so strong yesterday that even if the smoke came out, you couldn't see it. Today it snowed and the wind calmed down a bit. When the black smoke billowed out, those of us standing on the cliff saw it at once. That's why we found this place.
"Sun Dayong explained.
Lin Jue suddenly realized, and then he understood the reason. An idea arose in Lin Jue's mind, if he had been rescued the first night, nothing happened last night. Is that a good thing or a regret?
Early the next morning, Lin Jue, who had originally discussed with everyone that he should board a ship and leave here, changed his mind. He came here to look for the supplies left by the pirates but found nothing. If he returned to the mountain with those two ships of smelly sea goods, Lin Jue would really
Unwilling to be reconciled, Lin Jue felt that it was impossible for those supplies to be transported away, and there was a high possibility that they were on this island. There were so many caves on the island, and it was very likely that they were hidden in one of the caves. If he just left like this
Actually, I didn’t try my best. Now that I’m here, I should try my best to look for it.
Everyone saw that Lin Jue was unwilling to give up, but they couldn't help pouring cold water on him. In fact, many people thought that the supplies that Lord Lin mentioned were probably gone long ago. It has been so long since the Qingjiao Rebellion, and the religious bandits on the island must have
These materials were divided up and shipped away, so how could they still be here? However, what Mr. Lin said makes some sense. Those are military materials and cannot be easily disclosed to others. You have to find a suitable buyer to sell them. With pirates and Qingjiao,
With the identity of the bandit, it is probably difficult to sell these materials into money in a short time. If you are really still on this island, you are really unwilling to go back like this. Wouldn't it be like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed, and you will regret it afterwards.
Therefore, Lin Jue made the island into a sandbox shape and divided it into five parts. Within a period of five days, he would conduct a carpet search on a part of the island every day. Whether it was dense forests, mountain streams, cliff caves, they would all be searched.
All the boatmen and guards were organized into the search team, forming more than ten teams.
The team conducts a blanket search. If nothing can be found, there will be no regrets.
One day has passed, two days have passed, and three days have passed. Four consecutive days of searching have yielded nothing. Four-fifths of the island has been searched, leaving only the dense forest area in the north of the island, and still nothing has been found.
In fact, there is not much hope in the dense forest area of the dock in the north of the island. The terrain here is flat and there are no caves and cliffs. The warehouse compound in the forest has long been dilapidated and empty. Therefore, most people believe that it is actually possible to
Nothing was found.
Lin Jue was also very disappointed. In the past few days, he had searched all the places where things could be hidden among the caves and rocks on the island. It was almost impossible to miss anything. There should be no hope for the remaining dense forest area. However,
Since it's the last day, I just insist on finishing the search without leaving any regrets.
On the morning of the fifth day, the weather was fine. Although the weather was still unbearably cold, at least the sky was clear, there was only a gentle breeze and gentle waves on the sea, and a red sun was shining brightly. It was extremely gorgeous. Such weather was supposed to be
It was the most suitable day to leave the island, but Lin Jue still ordered everyone to conduct a search of the northern area of the island.
The snow was knee-deep in the dense forest that was several miles wide. Everyone searched through the forest from east to west. After several back and forth, they were all disappointed. There were only trees and snow in the forest, and there were no newly discovered houses at all.
Even if there is a cave entrance on the ground, it cannot be found under the thick snow cover. In fact, this is already a useless effort.
In the afternoon, a team consisting of Lin Jue, Bai Bing, and Gao Muqing crossed the forest from the west of the island to the east of the island. Lin Jue had actually decided that there would be no more gains in this trip, so he boarded the boat and left as soon as the weather was clear.
This takes no effort at all.
However, things in the world are often like this. You never know what miracle will happen until the last moment.
Just when Lin Jue and others walked to a spruce forest on the east side of the forest, Lin Jue suddenly had serious doubts about a bunch of hill-like things in the forest.
The terrain of the entire forest area is flat. Why is it that in this forest, white snow covers a small hill with a radius of more than 20 feet. It is surrounded by trees, but there are no trees near the small hill, and there are no trees above the hill. This is really surprising.
People are strange.
Lin Jue expressed his doubts, and Gao Muqing and Bai Bing also found it strange, but none of the three thought that this strange mountain bag would be a major discovery. Because there is no way those materials are piled up in the woods in the open.
It's also a bit too hasty.
But when the three of them worked together to clear away the snow on a small patch of mountain, they discovered a clue. Under the thick snow, there were no earth and rocks, but withered hay and branches, woven together in bundles.
, such as straw curtains and tree curtains specially used to cover things. Gao Muqing and Bai Bing used their weapons to cut through several layers of these tight coverings, and then they made a major discovery. Under the grass and tree curtains was brown felt.
It is a felt cloth used as a rainproof and waterproof covering.
This discovery made Lin Jue and the other two people hug each other and cheer. Needless to say, there must be something fishy under the felt. It must be something extraordinary if it is wrapped so tightly.
Everyone was summoned, and everyone was extremely surprised. At that moment, everyone started to shovel away the snow and clear away all the trees and straw curtains. After that, an oval-shaped pile covered with felt appeared in front of everyone. Lin Jue
Under excited gazes, after the three layers of felt blankets were unveiled one by one, everyone looked at it in stunned silence.
Look at everything in front of you.
Bundles of light armor are neatly stacked inside large wooden boxes. The armor is obviously new, and the armor plates on it are shiny black. There are hundreds of long wooden boxes stacked around it. Open it.
In one of the boxes, there were more than a dozen standard Liao scimitars lying among the grass. The greased scimitars were shiny, the blades were sharp, without any damage, and they were completely brand new. Then, in other boxes,
Inside, longbows, bundles of arrows, dozens of maces, a batch of saddles, stirrups and other items were discovered one after another.
After an hour of inventory, this pile of supplies actually contained 3,600 sets of armor, 1,200 scimitar handles, 400 longbows, and countless arrows. There were also some other weapons, including some tents, saddles, horseshoes, etc.
things.
Everyone opened their mouths in surprise. Who would have thought that the cult bandits would pile up such precious materials casually in the woods in the open air? It is simply unbelievable.
Lin Jue pondered and came up with a guess. In the late stage of quelling the rebellion of the religious bandits, Hai Dongqing had actually ordered a large number of armors and weapons to be transported from Snake Island to the east and west roads of Beijing. However, he was killed by Lin before he even had time to transport them all.
Jue was defeated in one fell swoop in Xingren Mansion. The storage place for these supplies was located in a spruce forest on a slightly higher, dry ground. They must have been moved from a warehouse deep in the woods. The purpose was actually to make it easier to transport them to the dock and ship them to
It was a pity that those who armed and taught the bandits in the interior did not have time.
Lin Jue concluded that there must be a path from this forest to the dock.
Sun Dayong's survey verified Lin Jue's words. Everyone found that the surrounding trees showed signs of being felled, and there was a vague forest passage that was about 10 feet wide. It was just covered with snow, and it was indeed difficult to distinguish without careful identification. Moreover,
On the path, they actually found a few scattered wooden carts. Before, everyone thought they were just a pile of rotten wood.
As the saying goes, "It takes no effort to find anything even if you step through iron shoes." Who would have thought that this batch of materials that you have been looking for so hard would be piled here in the open air so openly.
After this batch of supplies was found, Lin Jue felt relieved. Such a large amount of military supplies can greatly alleviate the urgent shortage of armor and weapons of the Luoyan Army. At least thousands of Luoyan Army can be better armed, greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the Luoyan Army. This trip
Although it is dangerous and difficult, it is a worthwhile trip.
Lin Jue immediately ordered Sun Dayong to lead the boatmen to sail the ship from the east cliff of the island to the dock in the north. The remaining people began to build simple vehicles. After the horses on the ship arrived, more than a dozen sleds were piled with supplies.
The stinky fish and shrimps on the ship naturally had to make room for transportation and loading to the dock, and Lin Jue discarded a lot of them. Although it was a bit wasteful, it had to be done. The supplies were placed below,
It was all covered with dry goods, disguised as a cargo ship selling dry goods. It was busy until the second watch, when everything was considered ready.
Everyone stopped going to the island and rested on the boat for the night. The next morning, the weather was still good. Lin Jue ordered to leave immediately. The two large ships slowly left the dock, raised the sails, and with the help of the slight north wind
, heading south.
Lin Jue stood at the stern of the boat, watching the snake island getting smaller and smaller until it turned into a small black dot. He felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He reached into his arms and touched the silver pot with complicated patterns, and thoughts emerged in his heart.
Wanyan Mingyue's beautiful face came. Although this woman and I had only been together in the cave for a few days, it was obvious that she had left a mark on his heart. I was afraid that I would not be able to forget her.
