The scorching summer sun, the breeze is gentle, the air smells salty and smells of sweat, but these do not stop the enthusiasm of the people working on the ground.

I saw that the people on the ground were dressed in short shirts, and the men were shirtless, holding either shovels or knives in their hands, and the women were laying down their hands, and the men were carrying bricks and stones, and they kept raising it around a low wall.

The low wall is square, and the north and south are connected with two completed gatehouses, and the two zhang high gatehouses are written on the top of the "Xu Rong South Gate" and "Xu Rong North Gate" respectively.

The city is not as high as Haikou City, nor is it as wide as Haikou City, but it is a brand new city, from the dense tree stumps inside and outside the city that have not had time to clear it, it can be seen that this is originally a forest, and it is also the kind of primitive deep forest, because the tree stumps are generally very large, some of them are hundreds of years old, and there are hundreds of years of big tree stumps.

The low wall was very wide, a foot long, and only a little more than two feet high, but it was slowly growing taller.

Under a tall lychee tree inside the city wall, several men dressed in the uniforms of the Chu army brought a few stones to make stools and sat there to enjoy the shade.

A man dressed as a very burly man wiped the sweat on his head like a waterfall: "This weather is too hot, I thought Haikou was hot enough, but I didn't expect Xu Rongcheng to be hotter than Haikou." ”

Next to him, a young man wearing long sleeves and a burlier figure than him chuckled:

"Yuanzhi, this is the southernmost part of Zhuya Island, and now it's summer, just in the middle of the sun, you haven't been to Rinan, where the sun is more violent, and this season has passed, you will find that your shadow is facing south at noon."

Xu Shu, who was dressed as a long man, looked straight at the long sleeves, thinking that the other party still had a triple armor hidden in it, and couldn't help but feel that his heart was hot, and the sweat involuntarily flowed faster:

"Lord...... Don't you feel hot, Duber? ”

Even if the young man is wearing triple armor, it is naturally Cao Xing, Cao Xuan stroked his hair, revealing a smooth forehead:

"Yuan Zhi, do you see that I have sweat?"

Xu Shu shook his head.

"The mind is calm and naturally cool."

Xu Shu nodded in realization.

For a while, several people in the group were silent for a while, as if they were understanding what it means to be calm and naturally cool, and soon Cao Feng, Han Meng, and Zhang Nan, who acted as guards, couldn't stand it anymore, and they should wipe their sweat.

Cao Xing smiled and said nothing, looking at Xu Shu, who was sweating profusely, still in his understanding, and decided not to disturb him anymore, but waved his hand to several men who were stopping to drink water at the city wall construction site, with an extremely cordial face:

"Fellows, fellows, come over here!"

This frightened a few men, thinking that they were all frightened and frightened on their faces, and several men looked at Cao Xing and his party in military uniforms, and greeted them tremblingly: "Hello military masters!" ”

Cao Xuan didn't expect the other party to be so scared, and at this time, a young man who looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old suddenly said: "Master Jun, we are just thirsty, not lazy, don't look at my small body, I can work diligently, my father said that adults can't do more than me." ”

Listening to these childish words, Cao Xing smiled very kindly, and took out a piece of jerky from his arms and handed it over, but the young man didn't dare to take it: "Not bad, since you did so well, this piece of jerky is for you!" And don't call me Lord, I'm not much older than you. ”

The young man heard that it was a reward for himself, so he took the jerky, only to see him fly and run, and after a while he ran back, but there was an extra banana leaf in his hand, and the young man carefully wrapped the jerky with the banana leaf and hid it in the waistband of his trousers, and then said: "No, thank you Uncle Jun." ”

Cao Xing is a little helpless, uncle is uncle, business matters.

"Listening to your accent and Father's name, you should be from the Central Plains or even Hebei!"

The young man who received the benefits was very cooperative and nodded heavily.

"What about the rest of the uncles and big brothers?"

"Master Jun, I'm just a prisoner and don't dare to hold it up."

A man who looked a little like the head of the crowd hurriedly explained, and then acted as an introduction, pointing to a thinner man:

"I, the bamboo pole and the mountain baby are all from Bohai County, Hebei Province, and we were in the sea back then...... Ahem, we are all begging for a life at sea, I heard that Marshal Ji Huya and Marshal Li Haozi were defeated by your army, so they fled to the East China Sea to beg for a living, and then the East China Sea Marshal Jiang Qin was defeated again, and we fled to Zhoushan and became Zhou Dashuai's subordinates.

A big battle half a year ago made us prisoners. ”

The man pointed to a few people in the province and introduced their origins, there are only a few people, but there are all those in Canghai in Jizhou, east of Qingzhou, and Xuzhou.

"You don't have to be nervous, I'm also from Hebei, but I'm from Bingzhou."

"Uncle, you and Huanglong Tianzun are fellow villagers, so do you know Huanglong Tianzun? Did he sit down with a yellow dragon bigger than a mountain? ”

The young man looked at Cao Xuan with starry eyes, and Cao Xuan was suddenly a little embarrassed:

"Who told you that Huanglong Tianzun sat on Huanglong?"

The young man, who had already been bought by a piece of jerky, hurriedly turned around, his eyes kept searching in the construction site of the city wall, and then pointed to a Taoist priest in the distance, wearing long sleeves, to be precise, wearing a gossip suit:

"It's the Taoist who said it, the Taoist is fine, they send us delicious food every day, and they also tell us the story of Huanglong Tianzun's subjugation of demons and demons.

He said that when Huanglong Tianzun was born, it was night, but suddenly the sky was full of golden light, like day, and he was born with the cry of a baby.

He also said that there is an evil elephant in the jungle of Rinan that eats people's hearts, the evil elephant is taller than the palace, and kills people everywhere, and it is also Huanglong Tianzun who rushed to hear the news, and fought with the evil elephant for three days and three nights before killing the other party, the head of the evil elephant was cut off, and the blood that flowed out covered the forest and stained the Chu River red, so the water in the Ninan River could not be drunk raw, and it should be boiled before drinking.

There is also the Huanglong Tianzun when he led the sea master to conquer the remnants of the Yellow Sea Jizi, he accidentally fell into the sea, and the dragon king in the sea suddenly held up Tianzun and returned to the ship.

And ......"

The innocent young man tried his best to popularize the knowledge of Huanglong Tianzun with Cao Xing, which made Cao Xuan cry and laugh a little, and finally waited for the other party to finish speaking before he spoke: "Well, Huanglong Tianzun is really powerful, so are you still used to living in Xurong County?" ”

The young man was a little puzzled why Cao Xuan didn't talk about Huanglong Tianzun, but he didn't ask much about the dried meat, but clicked his head:

"Habitual, I like it, I eat here every day, sometimes there is meat to eat every few days, what to say that I have a meal on the tenth day, sometimes on the day of the meal, I don't eat meat and fish, these can't be eaten in the past for the New Year!"
