Chapter 6: Experience
……………… More than two months later.....................
As a large amount of timber was cut down and transported back to the villages and towns, and then with the efforts of the villagers, different kinds of wooden houses began to appear, and as the demand of the villagers gradually expanded, it was not until more than 200 wooden houses were erected in the towns.
From a distance, this town, which has undergone more than three months of development, has undergone earth-shaking changes from nothing at the beginning.
The area around the town's walls was originally empty, but with the joint efforts of the residents, three large flags and more than a dozen small flags were planted around the walls. Its flag is red and yellow on the background, and a beautiful, strong and glorious rose blooms in the middle.
Under the protection of the Glory Rose Banner, the town is thriving like spring grass.
The town's stone-paved roads have replaced the original wooden planks, neat and comfortable. The original planks were removed and transported to the rear, where public toilets were built out of wood.
Because of the large number of wooden houses in the town, the wheelbarrows that should have appeared three hundred years later were carried to the roads one by one, loaded with lime and sand, mixed with water and mud, and built on the walls.
In this way, as long as you don't set fire to the house yourself, you don't have to worry too much about causing a large fire even if the enemy attacks the city with rockets. In addition, because the population of villages and towns is sparse, the collection of lime and sand and gravel has been affected to a certain extent.
In addition, there is a bell fifty meters on each side of the road, which is ringed by the night watchman three times a day.
When the first rays of the morning sun shine on the earth, the town renamed "Pullen" will be filled with a pleasant ringing bell, and the resting people will slowly open their eyes as the bell rings, and start their day full of energy and anticipation.
If you walk the streets of Pullen, you'll occasionally see a patrol with weapons patrolling the streets, but they're sparsely numbered, and you'll rarely encounter them except for the four soldiers guarding the gates.
Most of the Pullen soldiers were concentrated in an open field behind the village, where there was once a dense forest, but due to the frenzied felling of the trees in recent months, a large number of plants disappeared almost as fast as the buildings built in the town.
Almost every day you can hear the drums of war, the soldiers are gathered in a neat queue, and with the captain's order, dozens of spears fall like a thunderbolt from the sky! The dense array of spear heads with cold light was enough to make any heavily armored knight scareless!
Going down the river, you'll find a large number of children trying to catch fish in the short water with simple nets made of ropes. But often they cause a "big scuffle" because one of the children splashes water on the other.
Therefore, Han Tianxiang often admonishes these children with a deep face not to play too willfully, and often the children will nod very seriously in front of the scene. But basically you don't expect them to be in that mood the next day, so it's almost inevitable that the "scuffle" will break out again......
"Ahh Calm down, King! ”
"Whoa! Let me go!! Let me slaughter those little bunnies!! It was the bastard who said that these little kids can make a big difference!! ”
Hearing this, Saman suddenly shrank his head, blushing and trying to hide his huge body behind a thin pillar.
Not everyone would have the courage to face the wrath of the rampaging King Pullen—except for Nin.
Now, the town has not only gradually restored normal life, but also built a number of warehouses and mills for grain processing and storage, also thanks to the "former hunting party" and now the "city defense force".
Replaced the small axe and broken knife with a long contradiction, replaced the cracked wooden bow with a javelin, and then the warriors did not immediately push the prey back into the iron pot, first skinned and then cramped, and filled the lack of long-range attacks with new bows and arrows and newly crafted iron arrows.
In addition, some time ago, the city defense army who went out to hunt accidentally found a fruit tree in the forest, Han Tianxiang immediately ordered people to uproot the fruit tree and transplant it to the town, for which Tianxiang also added an extra stroke in the town planning, and set aside an orchard in the south corner of the city dedicated to cultivating fruit trees.
These fruits are rich in vitamins, which can greatly supplement these people who have been deficient in vitamin C for a long time. It's just a pity that when I found it, it was almost past the ripening period, and many of the fruits that fell were rotten and inedible, so Tianxiang had to order someone to check out the fruits that were still edible and pack them back to Pulun City along with the fruit trees.
On that day, more than 170 Pulun people in the town were treated to sweet and delicious fruits, including Han Tianxiang himself who taught them how to cook a sweet and delicious sugar soup with warm water and fruit shells.
For the first time to eat sugar water, the Pulen people are so fond of this sweet taste that some of the big men don't even bother to think about the ale, and concentrate on how to make wine from these sweet fruits......
Han Tianxiang stood on the towering watchtower, looking at the town that was gradually becoming lively, and the chimneys with green smoke rising from every house. The laughter of children playing in the streets and the giggling of women echoed in my ears.
"Yes!" Nodding with great satisfaction, Han Tianxiang smiled lightly and affirmed the results of his nearly four months of hard work.
…………………………
Compared to the prosperity of Pulen City, in another village and town about 1,400 meters away from Pulen City, the inhabitants of this place did not have a good time.
"-Kill!!"
The bandit leader roared and led more than a hundred armed bandits into the town.
With no walls and no guards, the town's defense system was almost empty, and it took less than twenty minutes for the onslaught of more than a hundred bandits to declare a complete capture of the entire town.
The bandits rushed in from house to house with red eyes, and when they saw people, they stabbed them in the head, regardless of whether they were men or women.
The townspeople screamed and fled in all directions, and the bandits followed closely behind, and those who couldn't run fast or fell soon became the ghosts of the bandits.
Bright red blood stained the entire street.
The cloudy town was filled with screams of despair and cries of death.
After the bandits ransacked the town, they gathered all the survivors. They put the innocent people in a house and doused them with oil...... Light a fire.
"No, don't! Don't do this to us! The crowd trapped in the house screamed in fright, struggling desperately, and in despair, many people looked at the vicious bandits with blank faces, and the unspeakable unwillingness and anger in their hearts made them denounce the cruelty and indifference of this world.
"Hey, look at what a delicious bunch of roast pigs." The bandit leader grinned at his deputy, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, not to mention a foul smell.
"Kill them all, and don't leave them alive."
After the deputy listened to the order, he waved at a small soldier next to him.
A torch flew out of his hand and flew straight to the roof where the oil was drenched.
"Don't!! Yikes!! ”
The blazing fire surrounded all the more than forty men and women trapped in the house.
Thick smoke rose into the sky, and the screams of human beings before death resounded in the sky and lasted for more than ten minutes before slowly subsided.
The bandit leader's face was flushed red by the light of the burning fire, and a huge scar on his head stretched from the back of his head to the right side of his eyes, making it look particularly hideous in the light of the fire.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, the bandit leader left the town with more than a hundred of his men without looking back.
