Aztec Eternals

The promises made by the man when he was in power were obviously unreliable. The next day, Losanda slept until noon, and then he climbed up from the animal fur bed with backache. The sable sat by the fire, looking very good, carefully sticking the feather crown with fish glue, and a covered pottery pot was simmering next to him. He watched quietly for a while until the woman found that he was awake, picked up the pottery pot by the fire, and took a wooden spoon and handed them to him.

"Luo! Drink soup."

"What soup?"

"Venison stewed with potatoes!"

Losanda took the pottery pot, opened it and smelled it, and his appetite was immediately aroused. He took two mouthfuls with a spoon, chewed the rotten pickled venison, and asked.

"Have you eaten it?"

"I ate it... Is it delicious?"

"Delicious... Well, it's better to add some chili!..."

Thinking of this, Losanda searched for a small can of chili in his unfamiliar home. As a result, when he opened it, although there was still some spicy taste inside, there was more fresh fragrance.

"Where's the chili?"

"I finished it a long time ago. There's 'spicy herbs' in it, do you want some?"

"Hmm? Spicy herbs? Let me try... No. This thing isn't spicy, not flavorful enough!"

The "spicy herbs" the woman mentioned were the only flavoring on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Arctic thyme. But Losanda was not picky on weekdays, but in front of the woman, his mouth suddenly became picky, wanting to eat something more flavorful. He scratched his head and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he went out barefoot.

"Boots!"

"It's not cold. I'm strong!"

The strong Losanda ran out of the tent, and after a while, he came back with a jar. He shook the jar in a show-off manner and asked Sable with a smile.

"Ming! Do you know what's in this?"

"Ah? What is it?"

"Good stuff! Good stuff from the Japanese in the south! They've been planted in Karafuto Harbor, growing very fast, spicy and delicious!...Yes, maybe they can be planted here too! I'll ask those Japanese farmers to plant some in the fields, and save it for you to eat later..."

Losanda smiled and opened the jar sealed with mud in his hand, and then a sour smell filled the tent. Sable sniffed, wrinkled his nose, and asked with a look of disgust.

"What's that smell? It smells like what the dog eats..."

"Ah?! This is pickled radish! It's spicy and delicious! You try it too!..."

"I don't want to eat it!"

"Here! I'm not lying to you, try it! You see I ate it all..."

"You're not allowed to kiss me today!"

"Ah! Try it! We need to plant it in the back too!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"Ah, dog, get out!"

"Look, the dog likes to eat it too!"

"."

Although pickled radish does smell strong, it tastes spicy, so it's not bad. Sable looked disgusted while eating the same pot of pickled radish, venison and potato soup with Loshanda. After eating, she thought about it and asked seriously.

"Can this 'radish' be grown here?"

"Yes! It should be possible! This thing grows very fast, and it will be ready in more than two months. It is relatively warm here from June to August, so radishes should be able to grow! In addition, like potatoes, it eats roots in the soil. Even if the snow falls early, it is just a matter of how much it grows, and it will not be a total crop..."

"Well... then, you leave more seeds, and I will take the tribesmen to plant one. If it grows, I will send some to my grandmother and father."

"Okay!"

Loshanda smiled and nodded, which was considered to be a second crop brought to this vast ice and snow island in addition to potatoes. Of course, he knew in his heart that whether it was potatoes or radishes, it would be impossible for the mountain tribe and the deer tribe on this ice and snow island to transform from migrating deer grazing to completely settling down and farming. Because the severe cold climate on this peninsula has long limited the upper limit of farming and planting, and the yield of field crops is really too little!

If, before the arrival of the Kingdom, the tribes on the Kamchatka Peninsula could only accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people, which fluctuated with the cold wave. Then, after the Kingdom brought potatoes, radishes, a large amount of salt for salted meat, and a small amount of unstable coal, the population of the Kamchatka tribe might slowly exceed 20,000 people and survive the severe winter. But in any case, it is impossible to double the population of the tribe to more than 40,000 people.

In comparison, the Ainu Mauhili Island, which is called Ezo in the Japanese language, has a warmer climate and a basis for the extensive cultivation of potatoes, and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of tribesmen. And if we count the coal and iron mines on Mauhili Island, the food supply from the southern and the land, and the "huge fishing ground" predicted by His Majesty in the east... If it can be fully developed, it can even support a million people and have a real foundation for the establishment of a country!

"God bless you! However, although the Great Island of Mauxili is nice, and Chief Priest Zuvaro has repeatedly asked me to stay in the West Sea Continent... I will eventually make contributions, return to the Kingdom of the Lake, marry a Mexica noblewoman, and join the Priest Elders... right?..."

Looking at his innocent Shanta wife, her clear eyes, and the way she sipped her soup, Losanda was a little confused for a moment. He took a few more sips of soup, threw away the spoon, and said to Zishuang with a smile.

"In four days, the fleet will set sail! I'll go check on the two horses and a pair of cows... and then check the fresh water and food on the ship. Although one month's water should be enough, in order to prevent any loss of navigation, we still need to prepare two months' water!..."

"Well! Luo, go ahead! The important matters of the tribe and the fleet must be kept in mind... What do you want to eat in the evening? I'll make it for you..."

"In the evening?... I'll eat with the warriors in the evening! You can make it yourself at home..."

"Oh! Then I'll wait for you to come back."

"I may not come back. Well, OK!"

Looking at Zidane's expectant face, Luo Shanda couldn't help but change her words. Then, he put on his boots, put on his sacrificial robe, and hurried out of the tent. Zidane looked at her husband's back as he left, put down the spoon in her hand, and was stunned for a while. Then, she picked up the feather crown that was half done, and carefully and clumsily grabbed and glued the feathers.

Four days passed quickly like this. Luo Shanda spent a day checking the "cattle and horses" and "water", and spent two days meeting with the head of the tribe. On the fourth day, he met with the chieftain of the mountain tribe, Mu Quan, and his group, who came in person, and talked from morning to evening. Then, the father-in-law Muquan hurried back to the mountain tribe with the exact migration agreement, as well as the "two hundred kilograms of salt and fifty iron axes and spears" given by the kingdom, to report to the grandmother.

That day, in the last hour of the sixteen-hour daylight, Losanda led everyone to a bonfire dinner. Then, in front of the stone altar, everyone prayed devoutly to the setting sun and the distant main god, praying that everything would go smoothly on tomorrow's voyage, and that the fleet would safely pass through the Shenqi Island Chain and reach the northern continent!

"Huh!..."

After the crowd dispersed, Losanda was a little tired and returned to "home" with Zishuang. He sat cross-legged by the fire pit at home, searching in the gaps between his clothes, and finally found the last handful of tobacco leaves hidden.

"Wow..."

The tobacco leaves gradually disappeared in the fire, and the tense nerves slowly relaxed. Losanda stared at the bonfire in silence, and Zishuang was still sticking feather crowns beside it. After a while, Luo Shanda took a deep breath of smoke and looked at Zidiao who was busy with his head down.

"Diao, I will go to sea tomorrow."

"Ah... Oh!"

Zidiao nodded, not looking at her husband, still busy.

"."

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Luo Shanda was silent, looking at his wife who was concentrating on making feather crowns, and his heart became irritated again. After a moment, he pulled his hair and said something without a beginning or an end.

"Diao!"

"Luo?"

"No one can determine what happens at sea, it depends on the Lord God's will. If I go to sea this time and never come back... you can find another man to marry!..."

"...?"

Zidiao was stunned and put down the feather crown in her hand. She looked at the man's face, the man nodded, and turned his head away with a guilty conscience. After a long time, Zidiao responded with a low "Oh!" and picked up the bird feathers to stick them again.

"…?"

Seeing the woman's calm reaction, Loshanda was stunned for a moment, and a fire rose in his heart. What does this "Oh!" mean? Did this silly woman understand? He Loshanda might die in the voyage, or make great achievements, stay in the Lake Kingdom, marry another noblewoman, and never come back! As a result, his first wife, the first woman, responded with "Oh"?

"Lord God, stop clinging!"

Loshanda gritted his teeth, like a frustrated and impatient husky. He stood up, walked behind his wife, and hugged the woman tightly. His fiery eyes wandered in the woman's fur coat, and saw the silk short coat under the woman's fur coat, and the bright chest, and barked like a dog.

"Ming!"

"Ah?..."

"I want you!... Give me a child!..."

"Huh?..."

The sable reached out and carefully placed the feather crown in the corner. Then, she turned her head, looked into the man's fiery eyes, and rubbed his head like she was stroking a big dog.

"Luo... What's wrong with you today? Just like Ah Gou, you're so impatient..."

"...!"

This action was like some kind of provocation, which completely ignited the man. The man pulled off the woman's fur coat with force, and the woman also clumsily unbuttoned her silk dress. But soon, the man stopped her and said in a muffled voice.

"Don't! Don't take off the silk dress!"

"Ah?"

"Don't put out the fire either!"

"Ah?"

"I want to watch you... remember you..."

"...!"

The young woman struggled and pulled down the animal skin curtain, and nothing could be seen outside. Then, she turned around and tried to control the impatient husky like driving a sled. But this time, she didn't have the reins in her hands, and she was no longer invulnerable...

The rainy night passed, and the next day was a sunny day with wind, a good day for sailing. Luo Shanda, wearing a new short feather crown, stood solemnly at the bow of the ocean-viewing ship. All the warriors, sailors, craftsmen and livestock were already in place. Then, he looked at the boundless blue and white eastern sea, took a deep breath, and shouted with all his might. And all the people in the fleet also prayed together and repeated.

"May the Lord bless you, and may the wind and water flow smoothly!"

"May the Lord bless you, and may the wind and water flow smoothly!"

"Set sail to the east and pass through the Shenqi Island Chain!"

"Set sail to the east and pass through the Shenqi Island Chain!"

"Set sail!!..."

"Set sail!!"

The wind was howling, and the two ocean-covering ships raised their sails, getting faster and faster, and gradually disappeared at the end of the east. The sable on the shore looked for a long time. Until the fleet completely disappeared and the man disappeared, she silently wiped her eyes and turned to walk towards the potato field. She wanted to see when the newly planted radishes of the tribe would sprout. This was a big thing to keep in mind! ~~
