005 Robbers, Protocol
With the end of the interglacial period, global cooling brought not only World War III, but also a global population decline and civilizational regression. After discovering that the harvest of arable land was drastically reduced, the developed countries launched artificial greenhouse programs, while the less developed countries began endless wars, chaos and land annexation.
Su Yuan and the others came to Zhuangzi, which belonged to the largest landlord within a radius of 100 kilometers in the vicinity, and after entering the village, they could see the fortress in the center of the village, just like the castle in the European Middle Ages, probably the landlord's home. At the entrance of the Zhuangzi, there are several soldiers dressed in brown cloth and carrying earthen rifles to check the pedestrians and vehicles passing by, and they are the private soldiers of the owner.
"Don't blame me Huang Shang didn't warn my buddies in advance, the one who lives there is the largest landlord in the vicinity, with more than 100 soldiers under his command, there is no law here, only the rules set by the owner, just on the wooden board over there, if you want to see it, go to the exit on the other side to gather in two hours, son!"
After Huang Shang dismissed the crowd, he beckoned his son to go to the market in the village to sell goods, while the others left in less than two minutes, leaving only Su Yuan and Elph.
Su Yuan took Elph to the bulletin board at the entrance of the village, and the guards next to him glanced at the two of them with squinted eyes, but didn't say anything.
Seeing the content on the bulletin board, Su Yuan was simply shocked.
"The third chapter of the law, does he think he is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty? And this ......"
"Chinese, I can't afford not to ignore what you just said."
Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, it seemed that it was the guard who spoke to him just now?
"Our leader is a very powerful man," the guard said proudly, "definitely stronger than that Han Gaozu Liu Bang in your mouth." ”
"Very powerful person?"
"Yes, very powerful man!"
The guard's Chinese was very jerky, but this did not affect him in the slightest to express his reverence for the owner to Su Yuan.
In addition to the "Three Chapters of the Covenant", there is also a detailed map of the neighborhood and the village. Judging from the map, this Zhuangzi can be called "a sparrow is small, but it has all the organs", and what surprised Su Yuan even more was that the scale of one kilometer and one centimeter, the size of a palm, could divide so many forces, it was really a "warlord separation".
(Let me play!) )
Xiaodian, who had been hiding in her memory, became restless and pestered Su Yuan to let her out to play, Su Yuan smiled bitterly and agreed.
It's just a moment, "Su Yuan" seems to have changed from a different person, from decadent to energetic, and in fact, it is really a different person. Otherwise, how could Su Yuan say that Xiaodian, the elf, was a girl, and Xiaodian, who got control of Su Yuan's body, rushed to the market marked on the map as soon as possible.
The market here is a little different from the ordinary people's perception, and the large open space is full of armored vehicles similar to those Su Yuan and the others are riding, and Su Yuan suddenly realizes that in fact, carrying passengers is just a sideline business for these car owners, and their main business is businessmen. One only has to think about the chaos in this land to understand that it was they who propped up the fragile economy of North Vietnam and allowed the people living on it to survive, and it is not difficult to understand why the Liberation Army was willing to sell them their used equipment.
In the market, "Su Yuan" met Huang Shang, who was warmly greeting customers, and as expected, the goods he wanted to sell were guns and bullets. Pistols, automatic rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, boxes of various types of ammunition, and an anti-aircraft machine gun with a statue of Fortuna in the center is not an exaggeration. Most of the stalls around are selling some firewood, rice, oil and salt, tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, as well as small combs, trinkets and the like, there is no doubt that it has become the most popular shop, no wonder Huang Shang said that he would gather after two hours.
It's just that "Su Yuan" was not interested in these things, and went to the other side to see the puppets, which surprised Huang Shang.
(Master!) Where can I find good food? )
(I don't know, but I think you can find it near the market.) )
"Su Yuan", who exuded a girlish atmosphere, ran into a small hotel, causing many onlookers.
(No, I say, it's easy for you to be mistaken for being insane...... )
"Huh? Is that so? Hee-hee. ”
(Don't tell me about it!) )
Su Yuan was angry and took back control of his body, just as the shopkeeper and the little tail who had been following him for a long time also arrived.
Su Yuan knocked on the wooden table with his knuckles, and when he saw that the shopkeeper with a wooden face did not react, he asked:
"Isn't there a menu here?"
"No, if you want to order, please just ask for it."
This kind of hospitality is really primitive, so Su Yuan ordered a few famous and difficult home-cooked dishes, such as mushu persimmons and the like.
"Wow! Delicious! ”
"You don't want to sigh like this every time you eat something new...... Su Yuan covered his face, "The people here are very xenophobic, so we'd better not pay attention." ”
The shopkeeper just now had already embarrassed Su Yuan enough, if the people in a village were like this, they would go directly to the meeting place and wait.
(Master!) )
(Oh yes, here you go.) )
As soon as Elph interrupted like this, Su Yuan almost forgot about the control of his body.
It's no surprise that the first thing an elf without a body falls in love with after acquiring a body is eating. If you've never tasted food in decades, even home-cooked food is delicious for you.
“@%! %?$&%! ~~~!!! ”
Outside the store, a few people in brown clothes suddenly ran by, shouting in a language that Su Yuan couldn't understand. But it didn't matter, when Su Yuan noticed those people, two people in the store wearing clothes of the same color stood up "suddenly".
It was clearly the same color as the guards at the entrance of the village when Su Yuan entered the village. There was a "bell" in Su Yuan's head, and something happened.
Su Yuan immediately returned to his body, pressed 1,000 yuan on the table, and then pulled Elph and ran to the market, he was going to find Huang Shang, who was the only person who could explain the situation to him at the moment.
The chaotic situation in the market was the same as on the street, the people who visited the market were rushing to the exit, and the shopkeepers were in a hurry to retrieve the goods to their respective vehicles, and Su Yuan took a lot of effort to rush in against the flow of people. After confirming that Elph was not lost, Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dude, what are you doing here now? Don't you see everyone rushing out? ”
Huang Shang was also in a hurry like everyone else, and his head was covered with sweat.
"I wonder what's going on."
"What's going on? What's going on has nothing to do with buddy! Linzhuang has entered the bandits! ”
"Then you are ......"
"Oh, buddy, they can let me in, which means that if something happens, I have to do it! Didn't you look at those people? ”
“……”
Su Yuan looked at the other shopkeepers, all of whom had the same sad faces as Huang Shang. He probably understood that there seemed to be an agreement between Zhuangzi and the merchants, and that in return for allowing the merchants to enter the village and pass through, the merchants had to contribute to Zhuangzi when he needed it.
On this trip, Huang Shang will go no matter what. Go, maybe come back with a little injury, don't go, do you still want to mix on this road?
Soon, three neatly dressed people came to the market, and at first glance they were people of higher status in the Zhuangzi.
"Beizhuang was attacked by a gang of about 20 bandits, and according to the agreement, we need to send people to support."
The Chinese translator of the three repeated to everyone.
"Our people need to get in your car to get there quickly, and please don't shirk it."
