Chapter Eighty-Three: The Wanderer
The grass mud horse has really become a mythical beast? Xizi couldn't laugh or cry.
Li Yuanhua was amazed and looked back and forth curiously around the alpaca. Qin Zheng carefully observed this round creature, there was no fierce aura inherent in demon beasts on its body, nor did he find the crystal nucleus that manifested cultivation, and some were just as docile as domestic animals. Divine beasts? He really didn't see the shadow of the divine beast.
"This is a gift from the goddess of the snowy mountains to the herdsmen," Jarmans explained, "its wool is more precious than any wool, comparable to cashmere, especially the little alpaca is raised by the royal family, and the sheared little alpaca hair is also exclusive to the royal family, thanks to God's gift, what's wrong with calling it a divine beast?"
Qin Zheng and Xizi looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Li Yuanhua on the side understood when he heard it, and he was a little excited, he dared to love a domestic animal, he really thought it was a divine beast, and he was happy in vain.
After a small episode, the four of them rushed in the direction of Rokudu City again.
Suddenly, Qin Zheng felt a sudden coldness on his chest, and a cold aura condensed in his chest for a long time, he lowered his head and pulled the placket of his loose clothes to take a look, and a light blue mark in the shape of a snowflake appeared.
"What are you doing?" Qin Zheng asked through his mind.
"Look for the people. ”
"What the hell is a seal? It's not just a love seal, right? Why don't you say it happily, I am worried all day long because of the harm of the province. ”
After a long time, Yan responded: "When the Xuan people become adults, they will awaken the first form of the seal, which means that they can choose a marriage match, that is, the love seal of husband and wife. The second form has the qualifications of the head of the clan, and without the permission of the patriarch, the awakening of the second form without permission will be regarded as a usurpation. ”
Needless to say, it must be the second form that has awakened the seal, otherwise how would he find his clansmen just by relying on the love seal.
A mountain can't tolerate two tigers, a country can't tolerate two kings, Xuanyi, Xuanyi, have you been allowed to awaken the second form? Qin Zheng wanted to ask him this, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity. Allowing the prince's qualifications to succeed to the throne does it mean that the old king's god who guarded the Yuan Origin Realm had something unexpected? This conjecture had to make Qin Zheng think about it.
"Is there a third form?"
“...... Yes. ”
Sensing the tone of patience, Qin Zheng didn't probe any deeper, and after a while, he said, "How about we discuss it?" The next time you use the seal again, remember to tell me, I don't want to be suddenly disturbed when cultivating and making talismans, you know what serious consequences will be." ”
"Yes. ”
"Good. Qin Zheng interrupted the conversation, and he was in a very happy mood.
"I don't want to hear that word again"
A warning full of anger sounded in his mind, and the corners of Qin Zheng's lips couldn't help but bend upwards in a beautiful arc, and said in his heart: You lost again, boy.
When they approached Ludu City, they encountered a long procession of ragged people, both men, women, and children, all with yellow and thin faces and sad faces, heading to the direction of Guifeng City.
The four of them slowed down and looked at the homeless people in amazement, and there were as many as thirty or forty people.
The men, all more or less stabbed and burned, supported each other in their struggles, the woman wiped away her tears while comforting the crying child, despite her loose sideburns, and an old man who could not walk fell crookedly on the side of the road, driving away his son and daughter-in-law, both of whom were in tears, arguing to the effect that the old man was willing to let the beast take it away rather than drag them down.
"Big sister...... a dirty child timidly called out to Xizi.
Xizi patted the Red Flame Tiger's head and told it not to scare the child, thinking that the reason why the child would find her was probably because the other three were men, and they thought that women were so close.
"Big sister, do you have anything to eat?" the child still did not dare to approach, holding back his crying and fear, and pleaded in a low voice: "Just a little bit, a little bit is enough." ”
The child's words had a strong accent, and Xizi struggled to distinguish them, but fortunately he understood them, and thought about taking out the noon packed dough from the storage treasure. The child's eyes were firmly fixed on the dough, and he was short of breath and wanted to step forward but did not dare to step forward, at this time a man came behind him, and hurriedly protected the child, but his eyes were staring at the dough in Xizi's hand like the child in his arms.
Xizi noticed that the homeless people were all looking at her, staring at the bread in her hand to be exact. Li Yuanhua saw that the situation was not right, and drove the two-horned horse to a short distance from Xizi, his eyes swept to reveal a fierce light, these hungry people were frightened by this look, and suddenly cringed a little, and then looked at the majestic muscles of his body to tighten his clothes, resolutely like a fierce mountain of meat, and did not dare to come forward to rob.
"It's me who owes it to me. Xizi frowned and blamed herself.
Qin Zheng rode the black panther to Xizi's side, and when he heard her self-blame, he didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, and said softly: "A piece of bread is enough for them to eat, don't give too much, it's not good for them." ”
Xizi snorted, picked up a piece of dough and threw it at the father and son. Seeing this, everyone ignored Li Yuanhua's intimidation, as long as they could walk, they all rushed up, shrank outside and opened their mouths to beg for food. Tears and snot poured out in unison, washing away the traces of the debut on the dirty faces, and the pleading and crying voices were sad for the listeners, making people feel that it was a great sin not to take out food.
Qin Zheng saw that Xizi still had three pieces of bread in his hand, which was definitely not enough for these people to eat, and he didn't plan to take out more food, so he swept over these people with cold eyes and shouted: "Quiet"
The noisy scene quickly quieted down, and a pair of eager eyes stared at this son with outstanding temperament.
"Bring all the kids here. Qin Zheng said.
As soon as the adults heard that they thought that the son was going to enjoy food, they hurriedly looked for the child in the crowd, and when they found their own child, they pushed it in front of Qin Zheng, and after a while, the twelve dirty and mentally depressed children cowered and stood in a row, the youngest was about three or four years old, and the oldest was about eleven or twelve years old.
"There are only three flatbreads here, there are no more, all of them are for the children to eat, do you have any opinions?" Qin Zheng finished speaking, observing the faces of these adults, and the happy face was estimated to be the children's family, and the rest were all dissatisfied. "Li Yuanhua, divide the dough and not be biased. He admonished.
Li Yuanhua took the dough cake from Xizi's hand, broke it into four pieces and put it in the child's hand one by one. Some seemed to be so hungry that they hurriedly stuffed the dough into their mouths and choked their eyes, while others ate half of it and held the other half in the palm of their hands, peeking at the people around them like thieves.
"Childe, give me something to eat, please"
"Please, I have kowtowed to you"
The two shouts immediately attracted more people, hula la, kneeling on the ground begging for food, and the children were also pressed to their knees by the adults, their mouths wrapped in the future and the bread they had swallowed, and their little faces were panicked and overwhelmed.
"Leader ......" Li Yuanhua had never seen this battle, and his expression was a little confused, thinking that he would simply take out all the food and distribute it to these people, and these displaced civilians were also pitiful.
Qin Zheng stopped Li Yuanhua and said to everyone: "I said between me, there is no more, and the only dry food is distributed to the children." ”
"Childe looks like a young master from a big family, how can he go out without enough food......
"Yes, yes, we're so hungry that we can't walk, let's ask my son to give me something to eat."
"It's just ordering food, and it's nothing to Childe. ”
Qin Zheng said coldly: "We are just mercenaries passing by, not some young master, why don't you catch wild beasts if you have the strength to cry? A few big men can't even catch a rabbit? Pick some wild fruits to fill your stomach, and continue to walk forward to Guifeng City, this road is not a barren place, you can't starve to death." ”
When everyone heard this, their cries gradually stopped, and they lowered their heads one by one with a look of shame, and a person in the crowd whispered: "You are a mercenary with high martial arts, and we can only wield a hoe as a lowly minor, how can we have the strength and strength to fight with the ferocious beasts." ”
The homeless accent was heavy, Li Yuanhua couldn't distinguish it, thinking that the tone was definitely not a good thing, and shouted: "Say it louder" Everyone was scared.
Qin Zheng shook his head slightly, "Let's go, we still have to hurry." "Don't look at these people anymore, lightly clamp the leopard's belly, and jump out of the way in the blink of an eye.
Xizi and Jarmans followed, Li Yuanhua got on horseback, there was a sense of injustice in his stomach, and after catching up with Qin Zheng, he said angrily: "Chief, I still thought you were unkind, we obviously prepared enough food, but only gave three pieces of bread, and now I can't wait to take back all the bread just given out Fuck, I really slaughtered us as fat sheep, and when these thirty or forty people are fed, Lao Tzu is poor and wants to sell pants barely."
Qin Zheng looked at him and didn't speak, and Xizi took over and said, "Dissipate your anger, the child is right." She vividly remembers how overwhelmed the children looked as they were pushed to their knees by adults.
"Also, the child's mind should be simpler, not so insatiable" Li Yuanhua snorted, and the two-horned horse's complaint came into his mind, and he helplessly stayed away from the black panther and the red flame tiger.
When the four of them arrived at Rokudu Castle, they found that there were more displaced people.
In groups of three or five, they gathered together at the foot of the city gate, begging for food from the mercenary merchants, and some young men and women knelt on the ground, weaving a collar from grass and wearing it around their necks, meaning that they were willing to sell themselves into slavery.
Some traffickers rushed to hear the news and began to pick and choose the fat and thin of these displaced people. Some traffickers liked women and children, and they took them away after looking good. Some people like young and middle-aged men, let the other party open their mouths to check their tongues, and then touch and pinch them for a while, and then let people stand up and pick up heavy objects for a walk.
The first few levels were not bad, but the last level had to pick up heavy objects, but it was bitter for this group of hungry homeless people with green eyes, and a lot of men were brushed down for a while. After the first wave of traffickers left satisfied, the second wave of traffickers rushed up hungrily, paid some meager food, and after some screening, picked up many men again.
When women, children, young men, and young men were taken away by human traffickers, the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled lay in the corners of the wall, groaning and waiting for death.
The city gate was congested, and many mercenary merchants were talking about it.
"Evil, the country of Lang has been destroyed, and the common people have been displaced......"
"Who said no, I have a brother who just came back from Langguo, and it's miserable there, Sensei said, Sensei said. ”
"Eh, do you know which country was destroyed?"
"I haven't heard of it, have any brothers heard about it?"
"It seems to have been ...... by a mercenary group"
"Pull it down, it's a fool to say this"
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
The queue in front of them to enter the city was in full swing, and Qin Zheng and his party listened silently while slowly moving forward with the team, and in an instant, a sentence caught his attention.
