Chapter 307 Fire Island, here you go!

Mo Beihan raised his eyes and looked over, and saw a small black spot far, far ahead.

There was something in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his voice: "Well, it should be the island! Tell me to go down, raise the sails, and move forward with all our strength!"

"Yes!"

Mu Er agreed and turned around excitedly to convey his master's order.

Mo Beihan stayed on the deck, staring intently at the black spot that appeared on the sea ahead.

Their ship had been sailing at sea for nearly twenty days, and they had not seen an island for four or five days.

According to the information gathered and the route map drawn by the people on the merchant ships, there is only one desert island named "Fire Island" in this sea area.

I heard people on the merchant ships say that when they docked at Fire Island, they were bitten by a small reddish-brown ant, and the bite would cause a burning sensation, which was extremely uncomfortable.

In serious cases, if you accidentally step on the nest of red fire ants, you will be immediately crawled all over your body by countless tiny ants, and you will be bitten until dense blisters appear all over your body, which are painful and itchy. If you do not rescue in time, you may even die.

From the descriptions of those people, these small reddish-brown ants, whose bites can kill people, are probably the red fire ants that Miss Qiao mentioned.

If he could successfully find the fire ants that the girl wanted, would his poison be removed soon?

Mo Beihan was so excited that he kept standing on the deck, facing the sea breeze, watching the little black dot getting bigger and closer in his sight.

Mu Yi, Mu Er, and Mu San from the cabin also ran out, all pointing excitedly forward.

"Hey, hey! Look! It's an island! It's really an island! That should be the Fire Island we are looking for, right? Isn't it?"

Mu Er's whirring sound echoed above the deck.

For the first time, Mu San felt that Mu Er's shouts were no longer so noisy. He was even infected by him and shouted excitedly: "Yes! It must be! According to the compass and the diagram, there is only one island in this area, which is Fire Island!”

"We found it! We found Fire Island!"

Mu Er and Mu San were like two big children, patting each other's shoulders and jumping up and down happily. Mu Yi stood quietly beside his master. Although he didn't speak, his face showed a look of joy that could not be concealed.

This trip was not in vain, they really found Fire Island, and the master's poison was saved!

Two hours later, they finally approached this lonely island protruding from the sea level and found a place to dock.

Before the ship could stop, Mu Er Mu San had already jumped off the bow of the ship excitedly.

"Fire Island, here I come!"

As a result, when Mu Er landed, he was so excited that he lost his breath and actually fell into the water.

"thump!"

With a sound, there was a huge splash of water, like a big fish smashing into the water.

Mu San's wanton laughter could be heard from the shore, as well as Mu Er's muttering complaints from Mu Er, who had just emerged from the water and turned into a drowned rat.

Mu Yi suppressed his laughter and said to the handsome young man beside him: "Master, we are here! This should be the Fire Island, right?"

Mo Beihan nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Well, let's go up and have a look!"

Two figures swept towards the shore one after the other.

This is really a very desolate island. There is a jagged patch of rocks near the sea. The ship cannot dock directly to the shore. It has to carefully avoid the underwater reefs, stop the ship several feet away from the beach, and tie the cable to the beach. On the rocks.

On the gravel-covered beach, there are only dead branches and leaves blowing from the woods and traces of some snakes and insects crawling over. There are no traces of human footprints. It seems that no one has been here for a long time.

The sea breeze rustled the leaves on the beach. Although it wasn't as cold as in Vietnam, it was still the middle of winter and the wind was still very cold.

Mu Er, who was soaked all over, was shivering from the cold and couldn't even raise his strength.

Mu San jumped on the boat again and helped him take off his dry clothes.

There were all men here, so Mu Er turned around without hesitation and took off all his wet clothes in front of everyone.

"Master, where are we going?"

Mu Er, who had changed into dry clothes, suddenly became a handsome and capable young man again.

Mo Beihan looked around and saw that there was no path to follow on this deserted island where trees and vines were entangled.

After pondering for a while, he pointed to the beach beside him: "Let's go up here and look ahead. Pay attention to whether there are any nests of fire ants near the woods. Don't enter the woods without permission."

I heard that there are not only fire ants that can poison people on this island, but also many venomous snakes and some poisonous insects.

They are just looking for fire ants, there is no need to take risks.

Everyone obeyed the order, leaving only a few boatmen and guards. Mo Beihan took Mu Yi Mu, Mu San and a dozen guards along the beach to find them.

Unfortunately, they walked a long distance without finding any trace of fire ants.

It seemed that the only option was to go into the woods.

Perhaps those fire ants are hiding in the woods on the mountain.

The sky was getting dark, so they had no choice but to return to the big ship, clear a place on the beach, light a bonfire, and prepare to spend the night.

Mo Beihan even imitated Qiao Ran's fishing skills that he had seen before, and used a dagger to sharpen a two-pronged wooden fork. He easily caught several plump sea fish while standing on the shore. The boatmen and guards were also on the beach. I caught some conches and scallops on the side, and caught a dozen large crabs.

I took two pots from the boat and placed them on the fire, scooped out some seawater, and stewed them with the seafood. The seawater has its own salty taste, so there is no need to add salt. The cooked seafood will be very delicious.

The sea fish is pierced with wooden skewers and grilled on the fire. After it is cooked, it is sprinkled with salt. It is basically original, but quite delicious.

The guards were all very satisfied with their meal. They even praised the seafood without any seasonings for being so delicious. It was much more delicious than the seafood they had eaten in restaurants in the capital. Perhaps it was because the seafood was freshly caught and eaten, so it was fresher. Bar!

However, Mo Beihan secretly felt that these seafood should be more delicious.

He remembered the time when he was eating and drinking with the Qiao family. Although the farm dishes he had eaten were simple and even unappreciable, they were better than the dishes carefully prepared by the chefs in the big restaurants in the capital. Be fragrant.

Even the delicacies from the mountains and seas prepared by the royal chef in the palace are not as good as the home-cooked dishes made by that girl's mother.

I heard that the reason why those dishes were so delicious was, firstly, that Aunt Qiao’s cooking skills were really good, and secondly, it was also because of the good seasonings that the little girl gave her mother.

He had specifically observed that every time he cooked, the Qiao family used several more spice jars than other families. He heard that the girl bought these from the city.
