Chapter 20: This Old Man Is a Little Skinny!
"Tell me more about this valley?" Liu Lei opened his mouth and said to Rong Feng.
Rong Feng listened to Liu Lei's words and did not rush to answer, carefully recalled the information in the valley in his mind, and made sure that there was no omission before speaking:
"Young Master, if you want to say that this valley is really good, it is in the middle of two mountains that are nearly several kilometers high, narrow on both sides and wide in the middle, the length is about five kilometers, the valley is about three kilometers wide, and there are many cliffs on both sides of the mountain that are difficult to climb." Rong Feng took a breath and continued
"The two exits on the south side near us are about 300 meters wide, and the north side exits far from us are about 100 meters wide. There are mountain springs and streams in the valley, and there are large areas of flat land where you can plant. The best place is at the exit to the south of the valley, where there is a plain of flash floods, covering an area of one or twenty square kilometers. On both sides of the valley are tall mountain ranges, which are difficult to bypass, and outside the exit on the north side are mountains" Rong Feng finished speaking, looking at Liu Lei worriedly.
Liu Lei was digesting Rong Feng's words, and he also studied simple civil engineering related courses when he was in college, and began to construct a three-dimensional image of the valley in his mind as Rong Feng narrated. When he reacted, he found that Rong Feng had stopped.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't say? Liu Lei asked suspiciously.
"I didn't ...... No" Rong Feng stumbled and said to Liu Lei cautiously:
"The location of the valley is good, but there is a big problem."
Liu Lei frowned, he was really satisfied with this valley, whether it was the resettlement of the people in the town, or the future development of his own forces, it was very good, but he didn't expect Rong Feng's words to turn around, which made Liu Lei's heart tremble, it seemed that his luck after crossing over had been bad, and he just hoped that there would be no accidents this time.
"What's the point?" Liu Lei's tone was a little impatient.
Rong Feng heard the impatience in Liu Lei's tone, and hurriedly asked:
"In the valley, there are many wild beasts, most of them are herbivorous, but there are also many fierce beasts"
"A lot?" Liu Lei asked.
"Not a few!" Rong Feng nodded.
Liu Lei secretly said that he was unlucky, but he also knew in his heart that the valley where there had always been water and food was the area where wild beasts moved.
Zhu Dezhi and Rong Feng saw that Liu Lei's face was a little hesitant, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. They are really afraid that Liu Lei will give up the migration, the greatest hope of the people of Qingfeng Town in the past few years is to move away from this dangerous and barren place, this time is also the only chance for them to move away openly and honestly over the years, if Liu Lei gives up their hopes will also be dashed.
This is also the reason why Rong Feng was a little hesitant when he said that there were beasts in the valley, he was afraid that Liu Lei would give up. The other two didn't have a big reaction, Liu Lei hesitated but made Zhu Dezhi and Rong Feng anxious, Rong Feng didn't dare to interject, so he could only give Zhu Dezhi a look.
Zhu Dezhi was also a little anxious, seeing Rong Feng giving him a look, his eyes turned, his body moved, and he moved a little away from Liu Lei, who was thinking, Zhu Dezhi said softly:
"Young Master, Qingfeng Town is very close to the Warcraft Forest!"
"Hmm" Liu Lei was thinking of a way in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to what Zhu Dezhi said, so he responded casually.
But Zhu Dezhi did not give up and continued:
"Young Master, there are a lot of beasts in Qingfeng Town!"
"Hmm" Liu Lei still ignored it.
"Young Master, there aren't many people left in Qingfeng Town!"
"Hmm............ Well? Liu Lei just habitually hummed, and then let out a hum, but this time it was a second sound, with questions.
Liu Lei was thinking about things, Zhu Dezhi kept disturbing him, which made him a little annoyed, and when he turned his head to look, he was suddenly startled, Zhu Dezhi's wrinkled face almost touched his face, and Zhu Dezhi still had a flattering expression on his face.
Seeing the anger in Liu Lei's eyes, he didn't dodge, but continued:
"Big young master, if Sunset City becomes a battlefield, Qingfeng Town is very dangerous!"
Liu Lei looked at Zhu Dezhi speechless for a while, this old man is now starting to rely on the old and sell the old, and he can still see that he was afraid of Liu Lei at the beginning.
Seeing this white-haired old man, his eyes were shining with little stars staring at him.
Liu Lei blurted out a sentence on his lips in his last life:
"You're skinny!"
"Huh?" This time it was Zhu Dezhi's turn to be stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Liu Lei meant by skin.
"Ahem...... It's okay! I decided that I must move this time! Liu Lei coughed dryly and said.
He figured out that this relocation is certain, Qingfeng Town's current geographical location is not suitable for future development, even if the valley that Rong Feng said is not good, he must find one, Qingfeng Town will definitely not be able to stay, maybe Liu Lei will build a fortress in the future as a bridgehead. But now we have to give up here.
After receiving Liu Lei's affirmation, Zhu Dezhi and Rong Feng were relieved. Zhu Dezhi recovered the image of an elder in the next second, which made Liu Lei roll his eyes for a while.
"Okay, get ready, you take me to have a look," Liu Lei said to Rong Feng.
Although Rong Feng introduced the terrain of the valley very clearly, Liu Lei and the others still had to investigate it in person, after all, the location of this time was very important, and it was related to the lives of dozens of people in the town, including Liu Lei. The most important thing is that Liu Lei also has to go and see it in person and find a way to deal with the beasts in the valley.
"Lao Zhu, tell me about the harvest this time, so you can give Captain Liu their share."
Liu Lei glanced at Liu Bushan, who had been in the cold for a long time, and said to Zhu Dezhi. He didn't know what to call Liu Bushan, so he could only call him Captain Liu.
"No, you don't! The eldest young master is polite! Liu Bushan rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, he really felt that a third of the price was not a small bargain, after all, when they came, Liu Lei and the others had already cleaned up the black panther beast.
"Captain Liu, don't shirk, this time thanks to your help," Liu Lei said, and then didn't give Liu Bushan a chance to refuse, and turned his head to signal Zhu Dezhi.
Zhu Dezhi got Liu Lei's signal and said:
"This time, we eliminated a total of seventy-two panthermons, including two beast king-level panther beasts, seventy ordinary panther beasts, and forty of them were destroyed by fire, and we got a total of thirty-two ordinary panther beast corpses and thirty-two complete furs."
"Hmm," Liu Lei nodded
"Give Captain Liu ten hides and one skin of the beastmaster"
"No! No way! ”
Liu Bushan stood up suddenly, and his hands kept shaking. He had thought that he would be able to get five or six hides at most, but the clothes made of the fur of the panther beast were very popular with the rich, and one animal skin was worth thirty silver coins. Liu Lei gave him ten animal skins, that is, three gold coins, not to mention that there is also a beast skin of a beast king-level black panther beast, you must know that this is a priceless good thing, and it is conservatively estimated that it is worth more than a dozen gold coins, and the combined price is already more than what they gained when they entered the Warcraft Forest this time, Liu Bushan hurriedly refused.
It's not that he doesn't love money, and if he doesn't love money, he won't take his brothers to beg for a living in the dangerous Warcraft Forest. He is not a soft-hearted person, nor has he not done murder and extortion in the lawless forest. The key is that Liu Lei is not an ordinary person, he is a nobleman and the heir of a family. Although it is a small nobleman, it is not something he can offend, if he has a choice, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with Liu Lei, and there are no fewer dirty things among nobles than in the Warcraft Forest.
"Captain Liu, don't shirk," Liu Lei advised.
"We have something to ask of you"
Liu Bushan asked:
"Young Master, what's the matter with you?"
"That's right! Captain Liu, I want to ask you to stay" After Liu Lei finished the first half of the sentence, he stopped to look at Liu Bushan's reaction, and saw that his face was ugly and he wanted to refuse again, so he hurriedly added:
"Of course I don't stay forever, I want to ask you to protect us for three months, and after three months, I will stay with you, you have also seen, now our Qingfeng Town has suffered heavy losses, and we have no ability to protect ourselves, and we have to relocate and clean up the valley, there is a shortage of manpower, if you promise the remaining twenty animal skins, I will give you all except the beast king, as a reward, what do you think?"
After Liu Lei finished speaking, he sat down confidently and looked at Liu Bushan's face with the change of yin and yang.
Liu Bushan was at war in his heart, and he had the heart to refuse, but Liu Lei's conditions were too tempting, although it might be dangerous, but it was definitely much safer than risking his life to enter the Warcraft Forest, even if he could resist the temptation, he had to consider his brothers, it was still Liu Lei's intention was too obvious.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "Okay, young master, we will take this job"
Liu Lei laughed happily at this time, Liu Bushan didn't want to take it down, he had to tell the team members, Liu Lei didn't stop it.
Liu Bushan returned to the team's room and told the team members the news, and everyone was immediately excited, for them the danger is small and the benefit is big, which really makes them happy, they don't know Liu Lei's intentions, and Liu Bushan doesn't plan to tell them.
The members of the team were in the house, talking about how to spend the money this time, and the man who talked a lot in the woods was heard by Liu Bushan talking to himself, only to hear the man say: "Prostitute!" Prostitute! You have to have a good time."
Liu Bushan sighed helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: Pi, I think you are really Pi!
