The Legend of the Farm Girl

The next morning, when the sun was about to rise, Yunfang and others saw through the telescope on the boat that many indigenous people came out of the forest.

When they first saw so many people coming out, Yunfang and Li Muwen's heart skipped a beat. They thought they were the natives, and they had some bad intentions, so they sent a lot of people to attack them.

But except for the one who had nothing to do yesterday, the people who came were all women and children, and they were carrying a lot of things wrapped in leaves in their arms.

Looking closely, some things have been revealed. Yunfang has never seen those things before, but they look like some kind of fruits.

The warriors did not come empty-handed. In addition to the bows and arrows on their backs, they also held some pottery jars in their arms. From their cautious appearance, it can be seen that the pottery jars should be filled with water.

Yunfang was immediately moved. These natives did not understand what they wanted yesterday, but today they sent many people to bring the fruits and fresh water they needed.

Moreover, the people sent out were all women and children in the tribe, and no men with fighting power were sent. Just think about it, it must be to reassure the people on his side.

This shows that these natives are very simple and genuine and have good intentions towards them.

Yunfang saw them coming out of the forest, still some distance from the coast, and hurriedly notified the people on the boat who had disembarked with her yesterday to get on the boat again and go with her to communicate with the natives.

After one night of study, Yunfang has mastered the language of the indigenous people. The indigenous people do not have that much cultural accumulation, and their language remains at the most superficial level.

Even when Yunfang recalled what the indigenous leader said yesterday, she already roughly understood what he wanted. It turned out that the indigenous leader wanted their shipbuilding technology.

When Yunfang woke up in the morning, she had already discussed with Li Muwen that the shipbuilding technology they wanted could be given to them.

Yunfang told Li Muwen that they were less than ten days away from the continent they wanted to reach.

And on that continent, there must be many indigenous people living there, and their civilization and technological development would not be much different from those of the indigenous people on this island.

If they want to live in a place unknown to the Qianyuan Dynasty for 10 years, this continent is the best choice.

But if there were only less than 800 of them, there would be no way to build this continent.

There would also be no way to bring back all the things unearthed from this continent that were beneficial to the Qianyuan Dynasty in 10 years.

Moreover, their ship will need maintenance within 10 years, and many things will be needed. Yunfang does not want to waste these 10 years. She wants to continue to develop better things, so she needs more people to help her.

If they could develop a steam engine within 10 years and apply it to their ships, their path back to the Qianyuan Dynasty would be smoother.

But if the natives are unteachable, Yunfang's plan will have to be changed. It is impossible for them to achieve much development in that vast continent with only 800 people.

She could give it a try and teach the natives of this island to see if they could master the knowledge Yunfang taught them.

However, everything became clear to Yunfang after she understood what the natives wanted of them. If the natives were willing to accept new knowledge on their own, then Yunfang could teach them.

After Yunfang and Li Muwen arrived at the shore, they saw the indigenous leader smiling broadly again. This smile seemed a little out of place on his burly body and weathered face, as if he had never smiled like this before.

This is indeed the case. As the leader of the indigenous people, Lei has always been serious. However, because he felt the kindness and friendliness conveyed by the smile, he wanted Yunfang and others to feel his kindness and friendliness when he could not communicate with them.

But what Yunfang said next with her red lips slightly opened shocked him.

Yunfang said, "We are people who came from the far east. We want to continue to look westward for a new continent. There are various high-yield and drought-resistant grains there, which are very much needed by our people. We have sailed on the sea for many, many days. We will reach that continent in less than 10 days. However, you should know that the water on the sea is not drinkable, and people cannot live without water. So we want to exchange supplies with you. Yesterday you said you wanted to know how we built the boat. I can teach you, and then exchange it for the food and water we need."

As soon as Yunfang said these words, everyone on the opposite side was shocked, especially the warriors who had met Yunfang with Lei yesterday.

Yesterday, Yunfang clearly couldn't understand what they were saying and the two sides couldn't communicate. But today, Yunfang could actually speak so many words in their language.

In fact, Yunfang didn't fully master their language, but she asked the system to help her translate what she wanted to say into the language of the indigenous people yesterday, and then memorized it.

Fortunately, I can fully express my needs today.

Lei was also very shocked, but he quickly responded to what Yunfang said.

He pointed to the water in the pottery jars held by the warriors beside him and said, "This is the sweetest water our tribe has ever encountered. But this is all we brought this time. There are countless waters in the springs over there, but we can only take out a little each time. I don't know how much you need. And the fruits brought by the women and children in these tribes are the sweetest fruits around our tribe. They are very delicious and we often eat them. In addition to fruits, the tribe also has some dried meat from prey. But the prey on the island is really limited, so there is not much dried meat, and it has been stored for a long time. If you want prey, I can also let the warriors catch some more for you, as long as you are willing to teach us how to build a ship."

Yunfang also understood roughly what the indigenous leader said, which was similar to what she had imagined the indigenous people would say.

So she said according to the script she had memorized earlier: "The warriors on my ship can go get water. We have our own containers. We only need 10 days of food, and we can get a lot of fish at sea, so the most important thing is water. My warriors can also hunt by themselves, which will not affect your lives. In the few days of preparing food, I will teach you the technology of boat building and try my best to help you learn it."

Lei nodded excitedly. All the natives around him were also very happy. After seeing Yunfang and his friends' boat with their own eyes, none of them wanted to own one.
