Goguryeo, the eastern part of the Baishan tribe does not come out.

In the early autumn of 667 AD, when driving up the Tumen River (the name is unknown in the Tang Dynasty, so it is replaced by a modern name) for about a day, there was a village called Atumen. The leader's family had just given birth to a boy. The little guy struggled to break free from his mother's body and cried loudly. His red skin was spotted, his small body was slippery, and there were blood clots. The two midwives with wrinkles, Op's mother-in-law and the baby's grandmother Adusa smiled happily when they saw it as a boy. According to the customs of his ancestors, the arrival of the first child in the family predicted that the gods would not only give special favors to their parents, but also benefit their parents' families.

The villagers who learned that the boy was born congratulated the leader, and the leader was also very happy for the birth of his first grandson. He and all his sons stood in front of the door and bowed to every congratulatory villager. However, not everyone was happy for the addition of new members to the family - the leader's youngest son, Akton, the baby's younger brother-in-law, seemed depressed. The reason was very simple. He originally wanted to go to the river to play salmon with a few companions. Every year in this season, groups of salmon are coming up against the current. The miraculous people can easily catch large quantities of fresh fish. After drying into dried fish, they are an important source of food for their winter. On this wonderful day, friends will drive birch kayaks to recreate and fish on the river, but they must stand at the door of their house and smile and bow to everyone. All this is because of the little monster who only knows how to scream.

"Akton, to celebrate the birth of the child, our family will have a banquet for the neighbors tonight!" The leader seemed to see his youngest son's thoughts: "You go to the river to get some salmon, and you will use it at home tonight!"

"Ah, really?" Akton looked at his father in surprise and joy: "Can I go and catch fish?"

"Yes, otherwise you would stand here with a bitter face. Those who don't know would think that our family gave birth to a girl!" The leader said angrily: "Anyway, you have made an appointment with someone today to go fishing in the river! Let's go now! You'll take forty half-person salmon before dark and come back!"

"Thank you, Ahma!" Akton was surprised and happy. It was still early. It was still four hours before dark. There were so many salmon in the river this season that they didn't need a fishing net. They could even use a sharpened wooden stick to harpoon.

"Go away, go away! Something is not good!" The leader waved impatiently: "I have become uncles, I am still a child, and I have lost all my face at home!"

His father's scolding came in and out of Akton's left ear and right ear. He cheered and ran into the yard. After a few minutes, he led the dog and carried his short bow and arrow to the river outside the village. There he caught up with his companions who were carrying boats into the river. Akton excitedly told his companions the good news: "Put forty salmons half a man tall before dark, and it will be his own in one day!"

"Forty items? So many?" a companion asked with a bitter face.

"You are crazy!" said my companion anxiously, "How many people are there on such a big boat! If you catch you, the whole village will not be able to steal you back!"

"What are you arresting?" Shen Faseng scolded angrily: "He is a local, he is familiar with the road, so he turns into the forest. Where are you arresting him? Find someone who speaks locally and see if he can coax one over!"

When the birch bark boat arrives at the fishing ground, or even stands on the boat, you can see swims of salmon swimming underwater. This brave fish will flow upstream from the sea every year, break through various difficulties and obstacles, and reach a deep pool of lakes upstream of the river, where they will lay countless eggs and die, and their bodies will become food for new life. When these little fish grow up a little, they will flow downstream and enter the sea, and live there until the next cycle, which also feeds many other lives - such as the Marines.

"No, Tangren's intelligence is not the same as shamans! How can I say it? I can't explain it clearly, anyway, you will know it when you see it!"

"Of course, I'm not a fool!" Akton smiled.

Akton turned around and the bone knife in his hand suddenly slipped off. His companion said nothing wrong. This was definitely not a ship near the village, but a big ship, with twenty birch kayaks as long as they were connected, and twelve birch kayaks wide!

Akton's sigh resonated with the teenagers. Although they were born in a remote village, like all their peers, the teenagers had a brave heart pounding in their chests, and their strong curiosity drove them to a longing for an unknown world.

"Akdun, Akdun, a boat is coming on the river!" shouted his companion.

Akton shivered by his companions. Even among barbarians like Marine, Akton's father was famous for his severity. If Akton could not bring enough salmon home in the evening, what was waiting for him would definitely be a whip that could not get off the ground. He waved his hand: "Okay, I owe you a favor. Let's go and catch the salmon first!"

"Yes, I can't stop laughing!" Akton said while helping to lift the birch bark boat, "But do you think this really has a good thing? There has been no good news in recent years! The tribals come to recruit people every year, saying that they are helping the Goguryeo and the Tang people to fight against the Khitans, but what kind of hatred does the Tang people and the Khitans have with us? They have not stopped us from fishing, farming and hunting. Why do we want them to fight?"

"That's not necessarily! You all know that Fu Chuan is here! It's the market town that is one day and a half away! There are everything there, and merchants from all over the place will come, and maybe there will be Tang people here too!" At this point, Akton sighed: "I really want to go to Fu Chuan to take a look!"

"Akton, go fishing quickly! Look at what time it is now! You know your father's temper. If you don't take back forty half a man-tall salmon before dark, your butt will be hard to protect!"

"As for order!" The officer won, called a guide who knew the local dialect and shouted loudly to the shore.

"What are you shouting on the boat? It seems you don't want to leave?"

"Maybe the people of Goguryeo invited craftsmen to come?"

As the oars rowed, the birch bark rowed through the water and drove towards the river. The river surface was clear in early autumn, and the hillsides on the opposite bank were covered with birch, oak and chestnut trees. The fruits that had not yet matured pressed the branches of oak and chestnuts. Akton stood up, pressed down a hanging branch with the oars, pulled off a handful of chestnuts, and distributed it to his companions. The bitter smell rushed straight to his forehead, and the boys let out crisp laughs, echoing on the river.

"Captain Shen, are there a few barbarians on the shore? Do you want to put a boat to catch them back?" An officer asked, pointing at the gangsters who were in chaos on the shore not far away.

"It's not a ship near the village. Look back, it's a big ship, a very big ship!"

Akton and his friends skillfully set up fishing nets, and then used harpoons to catch prey that had been trapped in the net. Soon the cabin was filled with fishing catches. They had to shore, drag the caught fish to the shore, cut open the fish's belly, remove the internal organs, and clean them. These are all things they have used to urinating since childhood, so they are both skillful and quick.

"There's no way. My elder brother's first child was born last night. He was a boy!" Akton shook his head helplessly: "My Ama said he would invite all the villagers to dinner tonight, so he wanted forty salmon that were half a person tall. You won't help, right?"

"Akton, run!" A companion grabbed Akton's arm: "Or it would be too late!"

The young man looked at the big boat on the river, then looked at the forest that was only a dozen steps away from him, and hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I'll stay too, but remember, if the situation is wrong, let's run away!"

"Yes, I haven't seen it before!" Another companion replied, "But I heard that Tangren is very smart and can do a lot of weird things!"

"No wonder it's so lively early in the morning. This is a great thing! The first child in the family is a boy, and there will be good things and good things. Akton, your father must be very happy!"

At this time, the big ship had approached a lot. Akton then released the big ship from a distance and looked very slow, but when he got closer, he realized that it was much faster than his birch bark boat, and his curiosity was a little more.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Where can there be Tang people here?" Someone laughed and said, "Did you forget what we call this? Fuchu means very remote! How could Tang people come here?"

"Ijilianbod, you are waiting on the boat. I will take two people ashore to capture the two little barbarians!" Chen Fashen Dao.

"Forget it!" Igelian Bode said: "Let me go there in person!"

"you?"

"Yes, I grew up in the Eastern Kingdom. The local language customs of the Hokkien people are a bit similar to those of these Marines. It is better to deal with these barbarians than you!" Ijirenbod untied the long knife around his waist, took another bag of black sugar and put it on his waist, and went ashore on a boat. He stopped more than a dozen steps away from the two Marine boys and raised his arms: "Look, I have no weapons and no malice!"
