There are not many dogs in the Saibei Wasteland, but there are many grass wolves, and there are often travelers who are transferred and eaten by the grass wolf wolves to report the funeral news to Mucheng, and people have become accustomed to it. Since the last time he ate dog meat, Zhang Xiaowu felt that this dog meat was indeed delicious, but the dog was so cute, how could he eat a dog - so Zhang Xiaowu took a bow and arrow and prepared to go to the surrounding wasteland to hunt wolves and come back to eat meat.

Hunting alone is naturally lonely, and Xiao Kai was originally a good bow and arrow, but his right eye was injured and he couldn't aim so he was forced to give up archery. In order to encourage him to regain his confidence, Zhang Xiaowu gave him an idea, asking him to change the archery method, from right-handed archery and right-eye aiming to left-handed archery and left-handed aiming.

Xiao Kai was a little tempted by this idea, and after a little consideration, he gladly accepted it, and followed Zhang Xiaowu to the wasteland to shoot wolves. But the grass wolf was extremely cunning, and when they saw the humans carrying bows and arrows, they immediately scattered and fled, so the two did not hunt the grass wolf, but hunted a few hares and yellow sheep, and improved the food for the sergeants, and everyone could drink more broth on weekdays. The sergeants naturally know who is good to them and who is bad to them, although Zhang Xiaowu is strict and not angry, but the confidence he brings to the sergeants of the epidemic village makes the epidemic village no longer lifeless, and can often hear a few laughs, this is no longer an ominous place for the dead.

Since he hunted a few wild animals, Zhang Xiaowu's addiction to hunting and practicing arrows has been out of control, as if he was addicted to fishing in later generations, and every time he doesn't hunt a few animals, he feels that the day is not very interesting.

Before he was reborn, Zhang Xiaowu had a small fishing addiction, he did not hesitate to go to work and leave early every day for fishing, and he had to go home in the early morning of the middle of the night every day, and even his wife filed for divorce because he did not take care of the children and did not work well. Later, the friend was scolded by his parents and mother-in-law, and after his father smashed all his fishing tools, he reluctantly quit the habit of fishing addiction. Zhang Xiaowu doesn't understand why someone is addicted to fishing, but now he has some hunting addiction, so he understands his friend. But obviously, Zhang Xiaowu's level of hunting exceeds that of his friends' fishing, and every time he will bring back some prey to improve the food of the big guys, and even caught gerbils.

After the prisoner camp stationed in the epidemic prevention village, the team became more and more blessed, Zhang Xiaowu's archery skills became more and more sophisticated, and everyone ate better and better, until one time they hunted a corpse vulture. As a result, the corpse vulture stew destroyed a pot of soup, and the taste of the corpse vulture was so unpalatable that it was simply unpalatable, and it was unpalatable to open the door, and it was unpalatable to the house!

After a few sips of soup, the fighters almost cried and knelt down and begged for mercy. Zhang Xiaowu felt that the soldiers of the plague village had lost their appetite by themselves, so he asked them to distribute the vulture broth to the captives to eat. The captives ate the broth, and even cried with excitement, and expressed their willingness to stay in the plague village rather than go back.

And what Zhang Xiaowu changed the most was not the epidemic village, but Xiao Kai.

Since changing his archery posture, Xiao Kai has trained diligently on weekdays, and he is much more enthusiastic and cheerful in his spare time, and the new archery skills have opened a new door for Xiao Kai to enter a new world, and his archery skills have become more sophisticated. Even the Renying Bow Formation planned to let Xiao Kai go back, but he refused, he is a person who remembers his gratitude and hatred, whoever treats him well will be repaid a hundred times, and whoever treats him badly, he will also be repaid a hundred times.

In the twenty-ninth year of Taiqian, there was a leap May, and after May, it was not uncommon, Zhang Xiaowu calculated the days in his heart, today is the fifteenth day of leap May, and a month ago he was the day of his wedding.

He thought of the little bride Yin Jiu'er, and also thought of the brothers who died in battle, and his heart became more and more depressed and powerless. He has been thinking about a question these days, although it was the Inu Yi alien race who killed his robe, but who was behind it? Is it the crown prince, or the emperor, or is there some other conspirator. If he wants to thoroughly investigate this matter, he needs to contact more comrades-in-arms of the 27th Regiment, but there are not many soldiers in the 27th Regiment, and most of them have been scattered and arranged to various regiments of the main force of the Qinglong Army. In the past few days, when he entered and exited Mucheng, he never met the king eunuch again, the Fengzi camp is a large camp of 3,000 people, it is indeed not easy to meet the king eunuch by chance, not everyone is as free as him.

This freedom is also thanks to Su Yu who sent him to the epidemic village, and others regard the epidemic village as a place of death, that is because everyone does not pay attention to hygiene, does not understand that diseases need to be prevented in addition to treatment, and there is no basic knowledge of medicine, as an intellectual who traveled in 2020, he found that a lot of his knowledge is actually not available in this era.

"What kind of intellectual am I, is there an intellectual like me? Librarians – oh, tradition. Zhang Xiaowu suddenly thought of a certain legend and smiled, carrying the wine and coming to the main gate of the epidemic village in a mediocre manner.

There is a dirt slope outside the main gate of the plague village, about the height of a person, sitting on the soil slope, looking to the left, the grassland and desert are rising and falling in the distance, there is quite a kind of desert lonely smoke straight to the long river sunset of the sad color, and to the right, in the distance is only a trace of shadow of the wooden city.

In the evening over the wooden city, the smoke curls up, it is the time for each family to cook in pots, and I don't know what kind of food the people are eating now, Zhang Xiaowu is a little hungry.

Half of the Saibei Wasteland is desert, and the other half is grassland, if he doesn't walk along the Jialan River in the middle of the grassland and strays into the desert, then this may be his final graveyard. The Wood City owes its existence to an underground river that has been discovered by chance, and all people and creatures depend on it for their survival, including the grass and trees that produce mottled scabies in the desert.

But here, the sky is blue, the clear blue sky, and the occasional goshawk and vulture fly by, which is also a pleasantly beautiful sight.

Zhang Xiaowu sat on the dirt slope, looking at the sunset, the afterglow of the sun was no longer so hot, and the whole sky was reflected and gradually reddened. He took a big sip of his own drink, and sighed in his heart, wine is not good wine, it is the cheapest sweet potato roast, this wine is very popular in the grassland, it is spicy, and the strength of the wine is particularly easy to get up, but it can make people fall asleep as soon as possible. It's a pity that sometimes the more people want to get drunk, the more sober they are, and often the people who don't want to be sober the most can't get hope in the end except to magnify their own pain.

He doesn't have too much affection for this era and this empire, but he attaches more importance to those who have come into contact with and experienced it, and he always feels that they have a kind of "truth" that people in modern society do not have.

For example, Jiu'er, her innocence makes Zhang Xiaowu think of a sentence all the time, "I am a member of your Zhang family in life, and I am a ghost of your Zhang family in death." How many modern women can do this, and how many women can grow up with men? In his previous life, although he was not married at the age of thirty-four, he also had some girlfriends, because his parents died early and did not leave him any family property, so every time he talked about marriage, he was K.O. There are some girls who don't care about his poverty, but the key is that they ask him to be in the past, as a straight man, how can he accept this condition. So he picked and chosen, Zhang Xiaowu was single-handedly to the age of thirty-four, and then was stoned to death by a high-altitude glass bottle.

"Jiu'er, little pepper." The corners of Zhang Xiaowu's mouth unconsciously smiled.

He suddenly knocked on his head and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly think of a woman?" Is it that you haven't seen a woman for a long time? This is a problem, now that I am eighteen years old, it is the time to pee against the wind, and there is no blessing from women at this time - will I be bald? ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed nervously, and said to himself: "Captain Wu, Du Lieutenant, you two are the best for me, do you say that I should go to the city to find a secret prostitute to solve it?" The faces of Shao Zifu, Chen Tai, Wang Jian and others appeared in front of him again, and they were also killed, and even Luo Zhen, who would rather die than kneel, also appeared clearly in his memory.

"Grandma has a leg, and her memory is too good, but it's a burden." Zhang Xiaowu took another sip of wine and knocked his head for the third time, the memory of young people is stronger than that of older people, and the names and faces of those people seem to appear in front of him at any time as long as he wants to see them.

He spilled the next sip of wine on the ground and said, "Commander, Captain, brothers, I respect all of you for this mouthful, and I will wash and complete your grievances and hatred for you." Zhang Xiaowu's eyes were slightly red and swollen, he lay down, the sand on the ground was very warm, but it still couldn't warm the sadness in his heart, "Although I am just a traverser, although I have only been with you for two months, I am one with you, and our 27th regiment will always be together." ”

Hu Sanwan came over with a pot of meat from afar, these were the two hares that Zhang Xiaowu hunted during the day, he knew that Shi Chang must be missing his comrade-in-arms, so he sighed, put the hare meat beside him, and turned around to leave.

Zhang Xiaowu sat up and beckoned him to stay, Hu Sanwan sat next to him, Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Do you still complain that I brought you to the epidemic village?" ”

Hu Sanwan thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "My lord, I complained about you in my heart before, but now I thank you." ”

"Why?"

"Because there are far more people dead in the prisoner camp than in the plague village." Hu Sanwan said, "In these days, no more sick prisoners have died, but many have recovered." And I heard that one or two corpses were brought out every day in the prison camp in the city, either by fighting or by killing themselves. Now that I have compared it, I know that the prison camp is the infernal hell, and this plague village is the world. ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "Disease may not kill people, talent is the biggest cause of human death, people can overcome disease with their own will and body, but human life, sometimes not based on their own will." ”

Hu Sanwan felt that he didn't understand, but he felt that what he said was very reasonable, and being a commoner was not a plaything in the hands of the powerful.
