Chapter 113: The Jungle
On the long official road in the early morning, a black-haired beauty crawled lazily on the horse's back, hooking the horse's neck with both hands, squinting and sleepy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The little boy who sat on another side of the info looked sideways at her from time to time, and was bored and rubbed the gray rabbit in his arms.
Last night, I tossed all night.
The sunset is obliquely shining, and the Western-style villas that stand out like chickens in a cluster of low wooden houses are so dazzling.
Su Zimeng was silent for a while, until the ignorant villagers who gathered one after another, and the sound of kneeling sounded, and he woke up. Looking at these excited crowds of people who were kowtowing and worshipping excitedly, You Xing frowned and thought about it, you can't just favor one over the other, just build a house for one family, right?
New Western-style houses have replaced the dilapidated wooden houses, and there are more earthen walls outside the village, the road has become smoother under the feet, and the houses are full of flowers. Between the trees on the side of the street, there are green vine swings. Watching him move, earth-shaking changes took place in front of him, Su Zi and the children held torches together, smacking and running around behind You Xing.
It turns out that the spell can still be used like this! Su Zi only felt that his eyes were opened, his brain suddenly opened, and he was interested in suggesting that there was still something to be transformed.
Perhaps for other adults, the magic that can easily move mountains and reclaim the sea must be disdainful of You Xing's insect carving skills. But in Su Zi's opinion, benefiting the people in this way is thousands of times better than just knowing how to fight fiercely. Even the image of You Xing in her heart became taller.
However, the bright house on the surface, outside of the gold and jade, is actually an adobe clear water house, and I don't know that the heavy rain and flash flood are coming to live unstoppable...... But after the ecstasy, the villagers were more receptive to the gift of the 'sacrificial adult' than Su Zi imagined, and at this time they had already moved in with the messy things.
Excited enough, Su Zi ran to the well to wash briefly, and planned to rest for a night. The laughter and laughter outside the house was like a festival, and the noise did not stop until the second half of the night. Unexpectedly, before dawn, Su Zi's small courtyard was surrounded by the Huaqing Snake Clan who heard the news!
"Is this here? where the priest with the power of mana rests?"
"Sacrificial Adult--I don't know if it is the name of the Sacrificial Adult? ”
"Look at this house, such a strange shape, the power of the earth...... Hey, could it be Lord You Xing in person?"
Obscure dialects came from outside the courtyard, and the noise became louder and louder.
More and more footsteps and human voices, through the window to see the shadow of the shadow pupil flying outside the courtyard wall, a pair of dark red eyes under the moonlight, Su Zi took two steps back in shock, anxious to find a place to hide.
"Huh-?" As soon as her wrist tightened, Su Zi covered her mouth and exclaimed, and You Xing suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Shh......h We teleported away, this way. ”
The figures of the two disappeared into thin air.
After a while, he appeared in the wild forest outside the village and ran towards the depths of the mountain forest.
didn't run far, You Xing tugged at her lightly, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, you hide here, I'll come when I go." ”
After hurriedly admonishing her, her figure flashed, and she was left to turn back the way she came.
Su Zi stayed in the dense foliage of the dragon tree, listening to the movement from the distant village, holding her breath and concentrating. Seeing the dark shadows on the roofs or trees from time to time, and the firelight swaying under the dark sky, at that moment, I couldn't help but recall the unforgettable night in the vast desert when I first came to Chadao.
After waiting like this for half an hour, Rao is Su Zi was full of curiosity about the Nu clan and wanted to go over and take a look. can think that if she is not careful, she is surrounded by a group of nobles, or a group of nobles of the snake clan, she will chill all over her body.
Imagining the image of her transformed white rabbit trembling under the maws of a group of giant pythons, I heard a slight sound of hooves, and You Xing led the horse and came quietly.
"What did you do?" Su Zi slipped off the tree pole and complained.
"Meet their patriarch and explain something by the way. You Xing replied casually, stretched out his hand, and pulled Su Zi onto the horse.
"What's the matter?" Su Zi was curious. Suddenly, there was a warmth on his body, and a linen robe was draped over his body.
After covering Su Zi from head to foot with his robe, You Xing changed to another horse and said bluntly: "Zhongzhou's army is about to come over, once the front defense line is broken, it is not safe here, we have to let them move as soon as possible." After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to hide it. I can't hide it from her for long.
"Zhongzhou Army?" Su Zi was stunned when he first heard this.
"On the way, let's get out of here first. The tribesmen wanted to go with me, and they all followed. ”
When the words fell, there was really a mixed footstep behind him, and more than 100 figures were crowded in the forest, and a little fast could already see the appearance.
Su Zi was stunned for a while, blinked and shouted, "You want to start a war with Ye Weixi? She is very powerful, you can't beat it! Don't let your people die in vain." ”
"Didn't I tell you? Besides, it's not me fighting with her, war is about strategy, and our Nu tribe in Western Xinjiang is not so easy to bully. As soon as You Xing said this, he suddenly slapped the horse's buttocks under Su Zi's crotch: "Go-"
The horse was frightened, and suddenly raised its front hooves, and sprang out like an arrow. Su Zi hurriedly tightened the reins and leaned down to avoid the branches above his head. Seeing You Xing following up, he frowned and said, "Then, what about the civilians in the village? You have taken care of their lives and deaths? Since you are going to move, why do you still build houses for them? Or did you not plan to take care of them in the first place?" I think you might as well sit down and discuss with Ye Weixi and solve it through diplomatic means. She's not unreasonable, and if necessary, I can intercede for you......"
"This is a war of aggression, so there is no need to negotiate! In other words, the Japanese are calling, and you still want to negotiate peace with them?"
As he spoke, the crowd behind him had rushed to a hundred steps away from them, and there was a faint voice from the crowd, "Oh, who is that?" "And so on and so on and so on. But their voices rang out, and there was a cry of 'ouch-' and 'ouch-'. Everyone was unexpected, and was thrown backwards by the large branches and leaves that suddenly came out, and with the sound of thumping to the ground, everyone retreated in fright.
Su Zi was frightened by his sudden attack, her pale little face and lips moved, and after a while, she pouted and retorted: "It's not the same thing at all." ”
You Xing didn't look at her: "For me, it's the same." ”
......
In a daze, she didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she heard the sound of gurgling water, she woke up leisurely on horseback. When I opened my eyes, I was met with a pair of deep green eyes. You Xing held the reins in one hand, and a black shadow between his hands was under the hood.
"Hey-You Xing, what are you doing?" With the confusion when he woke up, Su Zi grabbed and tore it down and glanced at it, it was a hand-woven bamboo hat, surrounded by a circle of snow-white light yarn.
"Have you slept enough? You Xing turned his back and walked forward. After a few steps to the river, he squatted down and took a big sip of water: "This is a branch of Zhanjiang." From here, across the river is a large city, Lan'er Castle. ”
"Oh, oh...... What time is it?" Su Zi rubbed her eyes and jumped off the horse. Walked slowly to You Xing's side, brushed his little hand in the water, felt very cool, washed his face, and his mind cleared up. As far as the eye can see, the rushing river is raging, and the tall reeds and grasses on both sides of the river are thick, as if the forest is divided into two halves, and there is no view of the opposite bank.
"I guess it's three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It gets dark early in late autumn, and the sun will go down in three hours at most. With that, You Xing straightened up and pressed his lower back, looking tired.
Last night, he squandered his mana like that, and he didn't sleep for two days and two nights non-stop, so it's no wonder that he wasn't tired.
Remembering that the two of them had argued about the war before, and no one had convinced anyone, Su Zi felt depressed. You Xing grew up here in this life, and actually has a strong sense of belonging to this land, and is not as able to stay out of things and look at it objectively like her.
In her opinion, what Ye Weixi wants should be the nominal lord of the world, that's easy, just give it to her, why fight and kill for this? A real emperor like in ancient China, with all the power concentrated in one person, is too difficult to do.
But You Xing, who has always been reasonable, seemed careless this time, taking her words as the wind in his ears, and his noncommittal attitude had no room for change.
Su Zi didn't understand, he also had a soul from the twenty-first century, and he should understand some truths if he didn't talk about them...... What's more, she thinks that You Xing is more mature and sensible than her, and she understands what she is doing better.
Could it be that he also has ambitions and wants to be the king and hegemon in this other world?
He is a boy, a man is different from a woman, he is not willing to be subservient, and his status as a knight also gives him the ability to participate in the competition.
"Are we going into the city?" As if a punch had hit the cotton, Su Zi pulled out a handful of grass in disgust and turned around.
He Hao, who was squatting on horseback, looked up, and as soon as his cute rabbit face showed a smirk, he was poked all over the face by the dewdrop-stained grass.
"Whatever you want. You Xing handed over the dry food and handed over the decision to Su Zi.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Zi still shook his head. After the transfiguration disappeared, her courage also became smaller, and she did not dare to recruit the city. And she didn't want to transform unless it was a critical moment.
"Didn't you say that you would rush back to prepare for war as soon as possible, and I might be able to help you if I went with you. ”
At least I can help him get an idea, or persuade Ye Weixi to withdraw his troops, but I know with my toes that Xi will not listen to her. and have to pay for her freedom.
As he spoke, Su Zi sighed lightly, and when he saw that the rabbit turned his head and refused to open his mouth, he poked it in the mouth with the grass roots.
Xi was busy with her big business, and her body seemed to be fine. Qianxuan didn't know where he was. As for Qing Fantasy, she is still angry in her heart, so she will hang her for a while to reflect on it. Thinking about it like this, now she has nowhere to go except to follow You Xing.
In fact, after the initial shock, she thought about it carefully, Qing Fantasy entrusted her life to her, and was obedient to her, even if she was wrong, it was only her fault to hide her. She couldn't stop them, and she didn't want to care anymore. Who loses and who wins and what does it matter to her?
Su Zi thought angrily, if You Xing became a dark horse in the end, she would definitely clap her hands and celebrate, and she would not get drunk.
She bowed her head and was silent, but He Yan laughed and laughed.
Qingcao kept poking at the corner of his mouth, and shrank back, receiving You Xing's fierce glance, He Hao sighed. Although he is a little shorter than You Xing in terms of identity, he is also the patriarch of a prestigious clan, and he has been ordered to lurk beside Feng Jun for so long, but he did not approach her until this time. From its point of view, looking at the little girl with her head down, the depressed and unhappy look on her face, she was helpless to comfort her, but Xiao Fengjun fed it with her own hands, so she opened her mouth like a stream.
Stuffing the grass into the rabbit's mouth as she wished, Su Zi clapped her hands, and her heart was refreshed for no reason, and the two discussed it and decided to go straight to their destination.
Pulling the gauze hat from her head, she hid her whole body in the wide hemp cloth robe that You Xing gave her, and without revealing a trace of snow-white skin, they walked towards the official road on the west side.
Walking slowly on the official road, Su Zi thought about her thoughts, kept her head shut and didn't speak, and You Xing didn't urge, letting her look at the surrounding scenery freely. However, every time someone in beast clothes or with a brave appearance passed by, he stabbed and stabbed, and Su Zi disappeared. When people walked by, they sat back calmly.
came and went, You Xing stroked his forehead.
He simply turned his horse's head around and headed for a secluded path.
"You Xing, you can control the growth of plants, why don't you leave some fertile land for those villagers?"
Retracting the thoughts that emanated, You Xing shook his head, looked at the bright eyes under the gauze hat, and sighed lightly: "It won't work." In the past, they only harvested the grain of the season, and no one took care of it, and gradually it was abandoned. ”
"Then you can teach them. ”
"Just like herdsmen grazing, fishermen fishing, mountain people naturally rely on forests for hunting to survive, and the habits that have been cultivated for thousands of years cannot be changed. ”
Su Zi lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Why don't you feed the livestock? Hunting is too dangerous, there are so many fierce beasts in the mountains, I see that many people have old wounds." ”
"No, the mountain people have their own beliefs. Hunting is possible, but it can't be over-hunted, and it can't deprive animals of the environment in which they live. You Xing looked at the depths of the forest and said lightly: "The god of the forest has already made a divine statement, and it cannot be disobeyed. ”
Su Zi's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Divine metaphor?"
"Hmm. In this world, God is real. He used to be an atheist too, until he experienced the powerful and inexplicable coercion, "It's not what you think, but the power is everywhere." The rules of this world are made by them, and they must not blaspheme God, otherwise they will be punished with the most severe sanctions. ”
Su Zi swallowed her saliva and was skeptical. She looked at You Xing in astonishment, his expression extremely serious and serious. Even he said that, and it seems to be true.
Thinking of the big tide, I can't help but believe a little more in my heart. However, if the people of Western Xinjiang want to become rich and well-off, what method should they use? Isn't the god of the forest on the side of human beings, but the cultivation of animals to ascend to heaven?
Full of cranky thoughts, they chatted with You Xing without a word, and before they knew it, they had been gone for a few hours.
The sky was getting dark, and the night was gradually shrouded in heaven and earth. And in the deep mountains and jungles, there is no trace of the town inn at all. After walking for another half an hour, a large area of lights appeared in the woods in front of me, and in the lights, there were many people and the noise was constant.
Su Zi stretched his neck and looked at it, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and sped up.
When they reached the woods, they found about five or six squads sitting on the grass eating and drinking. And next to the fire, there were beds of animal skins.
Those who can use animal skins must be nobles.
