We did not stay on the Sobu grassland for long, but just started our business as soon as possible. On April 23, our fleet of twenty-one ships went east in a mighty manner. (._)

Compared to the slightly empty cabin, we made major changes in the cabin in just over ten days, mainly for livestock. We could not make them too crowded or loose. Therefore, we used the cut wood to build small sheds under the cabin and on the deck for temporary residence for horses, strong cattle and sheep.

The manufacturing of ships is based on the strictest standards and has been tested in the limits of Shibunai Harbour, so there is no need to worry about carrying so many livestock, which will be a big problem.

In fact, we are only planning to transport 5,000 livestock at a time. Calculate the number of each ship is only two or three hundred, which is simply a small matter.

The most important thing is to transport it back first. In the first two times, we were planning to transport 2,600 horses, thousands of strong cows, mountain goods and animal skins back, and then we slowly transported the sheep.

On the day of parting, Zhebyzhan, the elders and the soldiers, looked reluctant and even ran to the shallow sea water, shouting with tears in his eyes, wishing us peace and safety along the way, going early and returning early.

I understand that what they want to say the last sentence most is the last sentence.

After all, there are many tribes coming one after another. If we don’t go back, they will be forced to sell all the salt and "hero blood" they bought to others. Who asked you to ask people to buy things on the Sobu Grassland? If you didn’t buy it in the end, it would be your fault?

Since we deviated from the previous course, we could only go straight to the east, ships filled with livestock and cargo, and the speed was not as fast.

This time, we did not encounter a violent storm like when we came. Except for the first and second days, there were drizzles, five consecutive days were sunny, which made us feel very happy.

It is indeed much better to be shined by the warm sunshine every day than to be continuous rain.

But there is also one thing that is, the death of livestock appears from the third day.

First, there were a few horses who had diarrhea and vomited for a day and lost their rest. Then, even the strong cow died more than a dozen, and the same reason was vomiting and diarrhea.

This situation will happen every day.

In fact, people have also encountered this situation. This is the discomfort during navigation. Because of the bumps and sea breeze, according to Dad Lauren, there is also the anxiety caused by the horse and cow coming from land to the sea.

When encountering such a thing, Baye thought of slaughtering the horse and the ox to eat meat, but Dad Lauren firmly opposed it, worried that we would get sick even after eating these meats, so he could only throw it into the vast sea in the end.

Although the soldiers were all navy, there was no doubt that their love for war horses was full of doubt. Seeing that the horses and strong cattle died every day, they felt extremely distressed.

We ate hay from the Sobu grassland, drank fresh water, added precious soybeans, and even some medicines prepared by Sister Zhenniang, but we still couldn't stop these tragedies from happening. In just six days, the horses lost hundreds of horses, and the strong cows died more than 200.

Fortunately, Dad Lauren came up with an idea to slice the ginseng and Polygonatum and feed it to horses and sturdy cows with signs of weakness. This extremely luxurious behavior finally reduced the number of deaths of horses and sturdy cows.

However, the deaths of the horse and the ox are not only happening, but also the good mood that comes from the bright sunshine, and because of this, we all felt bad. Until the afternoon of the tenth day, we saw the land.

At that moment, everyone was cheering and the strong men in charge of rowing burst out with great enthusiasm, and the speed of the fleet was significantly accelerated.

Gradually, we can see the outline of the land clearly. It is not a whole piece of land, but two small islands that are less than two or three thousand meters adjacent. The area of ​​the island is not large. It seems that it is good to have a radius of two or three miles.

Unlike the disappointment of me and a few friends, Ba Ye and a group of naval soldiers made even more shocking roars.

"That's Tiankke Island and Shaoji Island! We've been here twice in late winter and early spring!" Uncle Dorao explained to us, "This is two small islands outside the Hoi Island, which are only twenty miles apart from Hoi Island. It's about two hundred miles away from the Hoi Island. If you walk south about one hundred and fifty miles, it's our Liuyin Harbour!"

"Very good!"

Upon hearing this, my mood suddenly rose from the bottom of the valley to the sky, and I was extremely excited.

Although it is about two hundred miles away from home, I have found the direction after all, but after all, I am about to get home, right?

In addition, the ships travel from north to south, with a good wind, so the speed is naturally faster. If we can hurry up, we might be able to return home tomorrow morning!

With such encouragement, we did not stop on Tianke Island and Yakiji Island at all, but turned our direction and headed south.

However, looking at these two islands not far from the fleet, its peaks only occupy a small part of the middle, most of which appear flat, with no dense reefs around, which are higher than sea level, and the outer edge of the island is surrounded by a wide sandy beach, which makes me unconsciously have an idea.

The fleet cannot always be hidden in the Shibunei Harbour. If we can use these two adjacent islands as our navy's shipbuilding and mooring base, it will greatly shorten the distance from our Liuyin Harbour. If there is anything, it will be easy to respond in time.

Manufacturing a new base is also a big plan, which requires detailed plans and a large number of people to do, and it also costs a lot of time.

But the same is true, once built, the benefits will be very great. Besides, we will soon pull back the wood from the Longduan Mountains. It is definitely inconvenient to build ships such as Liuyin Harbour. If you sort out these two islands a little, the speed of shipbuilding can definitely be greatly improved.

Not to mention the excitement I got home one night, but by the next morning, many people were still sleeping, they were awakened by the noise outside.

"Here! I saw it!"

"Luyin Harbour, our lighthouse, look!"

"Oh... I'm finally back..."

More and more people rushed into the gaps in the deck and shouted at Liuyin Harbour, which was still ten miles away, and were extremely excited. (To be continued...)
