Volume 1 Chapter 21 Mackay Village

Along the way, Ma Tao's mouth couldn't be closed at all, and people who didn't know thought that this kid had hysteria, and sat there smirking from time to time.

"Hey! We owe you money, are we going to pay it back?"

Su Lanyu, who was sitting in the back of the chariot, did not have the image of a lady at all, and asked with a grinning grin.

"Uh-huh, yes yes........."

Ma Tao didn't hear what Su Lanyu said at all, anyway, what she said now is right.

"Then we are also free now, we are equal."

Su Lanyu then began to chatter unintentionally, and Su Lanxi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at her sister thoughtfully.

"Freedom, freedom, how much freedom you want......

Ma Tao nodded, drove the car, and was still happy.

"Then you see that we are much richer than you now, can we change the relationship between master and servant, and you will listen to us in the future."

Su Lanyu suddenly became charming and asked.

"Okay, I listen to you, I... No, it doesn't..."

Ma Tao just wanted to repeat it for the second time, and he suddenly reacted, and he almost sold himself cheaply.

Imagine Su Lanyu in leather clothes and leather pants holding a leather whip and looking like a queen, Ma Tao was chilling, looking at the second daughter, he was laughing more than enough at the moment, Su Lanyu was even more laughing, and he couldn't laugh when he fell on the single bed holding his stomach, and there was constant laughter in the carriage for a while.

"Don't take it to heart, my sister is teasing you"

After laughing for a while, Su Lanxi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, stopped laughing and secretly said something in Ma Tao's ear.

In this way, the three of them joked with each other and continued to walk around the swamp.

"There is a village ahead"

The co-pilot's Su Lanxi had a good eye, and finally found that there was a patchwork of houses in the swamp over there, and parked the chariot at the edge of the swamp, and the three of them got out of the car and looked, they should not be far from the small village, just a few kilometers, but it was all mud in the middle, and the chariot couldn't pass at all, which was sad for a few people.

"Looks like we need to get out of the car and walk again..."

Su Lanyu spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, Su Lan was nothing in the past, anyway, where Ma Tao went, he just followed.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk ......"

Ma Tao looked at the houses in the distance and said.

"What do you mean?" Su Lanxi asked

"He must be afraid that this soft swamp will not be able to withstand the trampling and trap us in."

Su Lanyu answered for Ma Tao.

That's right, Ma Tao looked at the swamp around him that was constantly bubbling with bubbles, and he stepped on the wrong foot in this place, and it was all a fatal result.

Marshland refers to a muddy area that has been soaked in water for a long time, and the water and grass are dense, the swamp has a humid climate and the function of purifying the environment, it is a very important terrain, and it is also very terrible, some swamps are covered by water all year round, the deepest depth can reach ten meters, once it falls in, the more desperately it struggles to fall into the faster it falls, there is no one else, Da Luo Jinxian can't get out, but it was not easy to meet a village and town, Ma Tao didn't want to enter or give up.

"Ma Tao, is there a way?"

Su Lan glanced at Ma Tao, who was thinking hard, waiting for him to find a way.

"It's so easy, if you want to get there, you have to increase the area under your feet, the bigger the better, the village is built in the swamp to protect and prevent it, if it's so easy to get in, then there is no point in building the village here"

Ma Tao was also worried, this natural barrier not only blocked the terrifying monsters, but also blocked the warriors from afar.

"There's a way!"

Ma Tao suddenly thought of a way, turned around and asked the second daughter behind him, "Do you know how to ski?" ”

"Skiing? It shouldn't be difficult, right? Su Lanyu thought for a while and replied.

"I will," Su Lan raised his hand with certainty.

"Well, I'm going to prepare a few large planks and something to tie under our feet, so that we can float on the swamp and walk freely as long as we have our balance."

Ma Tao was very satisfied with his idea, and also got the approval of the two girls in front of him, and then, the three of them began to collect items, some trees and branches, and some rope chariots, Su Lanyu's short soldier dagger played a crucial role here, and the sharp dagger cut down the trees in a few clicks.

It took only half an hour, and the three of them tied a float board to their feet and slid through the muddy swamp with the sticks in their hands.

Several people were helping each other to move, and the mud of the swamp in front of them suddenly began to churn, like a pot of water being boiled, and a large number of bubbles bubbled out of the swamp and burst, setting off a black-brown foul-smelling mud.

"What's the matter, what's going on?" Su Lanxi stared at the churning swamp and asked.

"Don't worry about it, it's not a good thing anyway, take out your weapon and get ready, let's go"

Ma Tao took the time to glance at the two of them and urged the two of them to hurry up, it was already extremely difficult to walk on this swamp, if this was to hand over the fire, let alone whether they could win, even if they won, it was inevitable that they would be covered in stinky mud.

"What are you afraid of, it!"

Su Lanyu's nerves were thick, and he pulled out the knife behind his back and was about to go up to fight the bayonet hand-to-hand.

"I'm going to go to you, don't say I didn't remind you, you can bear this stinky mud"

Ma Tao pushed Su Lanxi forward non-stop, without looking at Su Lanyu, the latter thought about it, looking at the disgusting stinky swamp under his feet, everyone has a love for beauty, the shell Lang does not bite, but the diaphragm responds to people, so thinking that Su Lanyu took back the knife with a brush, and did not hesitate, followed Ma Tao and the two of them to flee quickly.

The swamp behind him is still rolling, and the three of you are chasing me, but even so, the speed of movement is still slow, and the sound of mud surging behind him is getting closer and closer, as if urging life, Su Lanyu took the time to look back, and when the watch was scanned, he almost died of anger.

Mutant earthworms, grass or mud pond creatures that prefer dark and damp places, and their flexibility allows them to move freely on any surface, attack patterns, and dirt acid

Looking at the long black insect behind him, which was only one or two meters long and the mouth of the bowl was thick, Su Lanyu angrily shouted at the two people who were still running away in front of him, "Don't run!" Just such a big thing to run something! ”

Ma Tao also glanced back when he heard this, although the earthworm mutated big enough, the momentum caused was not small, did Ma Tao think that it would drill out of any behemoth, but he didn't think that it would be like a python's size, and it was indeed not too scary, "Big sister!" You didn't even look at what it was when you ran in the end, and you blamed us! ”

"Stop talking nonsense! This thing moves faster than us, and it won't be able to dodge the village before it arrives! ”

Su Lanyu took out the revolver and turned around to face the mutant earthworm is six shots, hitting the mutant earthworm with black water, it was also Su Lanyu's poor marksmanship, and only two of the six bullets hit, and then he put the empty revolver into his arms and pulled out the knife on his back again.

"Then what else to say! Let's go! ”

Ma Tao also came ruthlessly, as soon as Su Lanyu's gunfire stopped, Ma Tao stopped and took off the rifle on his body and was just about to start aiming.

saw that Su Lanyu, the hot sister, was going to fight with bayonets again, not only blocking her sight but also struggling with the thief, but as a result, she inevitably threw everyone off with a stinky mud and scolded angrily, "Mud!" Mud! Dirty! We're still a little way away! Shoot it with a gun! ”

Su Lanyu, who was about to rush up and slash with a knife, also reacted when he heard this, and immediately walked back after taking the knife back to the scabbard, loading the revolver with bullets as he went.

Syllable! After Su Lanyu turned around and moved away from the shooting, Ma Tao fired decisively, and the slender muzzle made a crisp sound and hit the mutant earthworm with a shining firelight.

Coincidentally, the mutant earthworm was rushing forward, perhaps it was planning to spit out soil acid, but as a result, the rifle bullets went directly in and out, and a sturdy string of sugar gourds came, and the mutant earthworm stiffened, and then turned over in the swamp full of dirt, and was motionless and dead.

"It's that simple?" Su Lanxi had just found the pistol, and the battle was over.

"I don't look at who shoots" To be honest, it was indeed unexpected for Ma Tao to kill the mutant earthworm with one shot, but Su Lanxi asked, Ma Tao also pretended to be a sharpshooter.

"Shit luck, say you're fat and you're gasping for ......"

Su Lanyu glanced at Ma Tao, who was full of smugness, and then said, "The G of the mutant earthworm, if you still want it, you can pick it up, sister, let's go!" ”

As he spoke, he walked a few steps quickly to Su Lanxi, stepped on her arm, dragged her forward, and ignored Ma Tao.

Ma Tao looked at the two sisters looking at the dead mutant earthworms, and finally, forgetting the mud under his feet, he smiled bitterly, and comforted himself, "It's so rich, it's not bad for these two Gs..."

In fact, my heart is still quite bitter, if it weren't for the mud here being too disgusting, Ma Tao would definitely pick it up and come back.

After a while, the village was already in sight, the swamp was getting drier and drier, and the hard ground was finally exposed.

"It's still good to be down-to-earth!" Ma Tao let out a long sigh.

The two sisters over there had already untied the floating board on their feet and entered the village, and when they left, they threw a sentence to Ma Tao, "Meet here later!" ”

"Cut!" Ma Tao pouted, in fact, he was quite dissatisfied with being left behind, but people are people, and no one cares where he wants to go, and in the end Ma Tao simply didn't think about it, this village should not be big, and he will be able to meet it later.

"Hello, where is this place, sister?" A middle-aged elder sister came up to her, and Ma Tao hurriedly greeted her and said hello.

"Ah, young man, this is called Mackay Village, you came from there, I haven't seen you before, are you also a bounty hunter?"

The eldest sister didn't pay attention to Ma Tao at first, but when she entered, she realized that Ma Tao was a newcomer and was equipped with weapons and ammunition.

"Well, yes, my name is Ma Tao, and I have just become a hunter not long ago, do we often have bounty hunters here?"

Ma Tao was very glad that he had met such a big sister with a good personality, and then asked.

"There are often, don't look at the small village of McGee, but it used to be prosperous here, if it weren't for the swamp spreading, engulfing many of the former houses, so that now we can only gather in the middle, or we are not small, you see that!"

As she spoke, the eldest sister stretched out her hand and pointed, Ma Tao looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a few small bungalows, towering.

"In the past, the houses there were also inhabited, and they used to be two-story small buildings, but now they have become dangerous buildings, and even the teleportation devices connected to the villages are in it, alas, don't talk about it, you can see for yourself, the eldest sister should go and sell fruit to my son"

The eldest sister said, raised the vegetable basket in her hand, and looked at Ma Tao kindly.

"Eldest sister, you are busy, I shouldn't mistake you" When Ma Tao heard this, he hurriedly made way for the eldest sister, and made a gesture of please, choking the warm-hearted eldest sister and praising Ma Tao for being so good.

After understanding a rough idea, Ma Tao then walked to the village, there are still a lot of people here, but there are not many people wandering outside the village, the bar is in the middle of the village, next to it is a human equipment store, there are still people farming here, and it is not a small piece, there must be an area of five or six acres, but think about it, this swampy place is definitely full of fertilizer, and it should be very vigorous.

Ma Tao took a closer look and found that the vegetable fields were planted with white potatoes, which were very good, they could be used as staple food or fried into vegetables, an absolute mass product, but although the leaves of the white potatoes in this field were vigorous and tall, many of the leaves had withered and yellowed, and I don't know why.

"It's a pity......" Ma Tao squatted around the vegetable patch and sighed as he looked at some of the leaves that were about to rot in the field.

"There is too much water in this field, it seems that few people have taken care of it recently, but the white potatoes are almost ripe, so it should be fine" An uncle next to him heard Ma Tao's words and also looked down at the white potatoes in the field.

"Hopefully, the leaves in this field are rotten" Ma Tao pulled the small wooden stick in the ground and stood up, "Who planted this white potato, why is no one taking care of it?" ”

"It should be Uncle Zhou's family, the old man often sells vegetables," the uncle replied.

"Then where is his house?" asked Ma Tao

"Right there, the fifth cement house is," replied the uncle, pointing to the left

Ma Tao looked at the cement house, thought about it, thanked the uncle in front of him, and went straight to the fifth cement house.

Ma Tao thinks hard, considering that it should not be easy for this family to grow sweet potatoes, and this sweet potato field has not been taken care of for several days, indicating that something should have happened to the family's family, Ma Tao thought about it, if he can help, he will help, it is purely for the pleasure of helping others, he used to beg others to help him and no one could help him, but now he has the ability to help others and try his best to help.

"Anyone?" Ma Tao pushed the door into the house, and the first thing that caught his eye was a cute little boy of eleven or twelve years old with a watermelon head, staring at himself with big dark eyes and nibbling on a red apple.

"Wow! Mom! There are guests" The little boy was stunned when he saw Ma Tao, and then he stopped eating the apples, jumped and ran away.

"Who is it?"

"Big sister!"

The person who came out of the house was the eldest sister who had a relationship with Ma Tao before.

"Is this your son?" Ma Tao looked at the little boy with the watermelon head next to the eldest sister who was staring at Ma Tao with a curious expression.

"This is my youngest son, my eldest son is also a hunter, he has not come back for half a year after going out" The eldest sister stroked the little boy's head lovingly, and then said to the little boy, "Be obedient, go to the house to accompany grandpa to chat, mother and uncle have something to say"

The little boy was very obedient, reached out and retrieved the apple on the table, nibbled on a piece and nodded, and went into the back room very obediently.

"How did you find this?" The eldest sister invited Ma Tao into the house, and the two sat opposite the round table and gave Ma Tao a glass of water.

"Thank you" Ma Tao stretched out his hand to take it, smiled, and said, "It's also a coincidence, I see that the white potato field in the village has not been good recently, and someone told me that it belongs to your family, so I inquired."

"Alas, my dad is sick, and I've been lying in bed for the past few days, and I'm taking care of my dad and the kids, and I'm busy enough every day, and I don't have time to take care of it...... As for the sweet potato, let's do it first..."The eldest sister was helpless for a while.

"Where's the child's father?" Ma Tao asked casually.

"Killed by a monster...... eldest sister, then sighed, brought herself another glass of water, and took a sip of "It's not been many years"

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"Mom! Grandpa is going to plough the field again, saying that if he doesn't plow the field, the white potatoes will rot!! Ma Tao was just about to speak, but the little boy jumped out again, hugged one of the eldest sister's legs, and raised his head to the eldest sister and said.

"Okay, mom knows, go tell grandpa, say mom will go right away" The eldest sister gave the little boy a smile and touched the little boy's head again, and the little boy put the apple on the table and ran back to the back room again.

Ma Tao looked at it, the eldest sister in front of him had no intention of moving, and understood that this was dealing with the old man in the house, afraid that the old man would worry about his white potatoes, Ma Tao looked around again, and saw that this home was not only the table and a few chairs in front of him, but also the four walls of the house, Ma Tao looked down and thought for a while, and reached out and took out 20G from his arms

"Eldest sister, you take this money first, I ...... as a bounty hunter" Ma Tao handed the money in his hand to the eldest sister in front of him.

"How can this work, we are not relatives, how can the eldest sister accept your money, oops, there are so many" The eldest sister hurriedly shirked when she saw Ma Tao giving money, and saw that Ma Tao took out so much money, and said that she didn't want anything, the two shirked for a while, and the eldest sister didn't ask for it.

"In this way, I'll help you get the white potatoes in the field, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart for the family of my late predecessors" In the end, Ma Tao gave such a solution, and the eldest sister also agreed, after all, the white potatoes in the field are also worth a lot of money.

Say just do it, Ma Tao put on water boots, took a hoe and went to the field, good guy, don't do it to know a jump, the water in this sweet potato field is really big, a foot can stick the shoes down, Ma Tao walked step by step, began to dig a diversion channel in the sweet potato field to drain the excess water in the field, busy work in full swing, the people passing by around were also curious to look at this young man in the hoe there, there is a good letter, standing on the edge of the sweet potato field asked Ma Tao the reason, Ma Tao did not hide it, I told them everything about it.

He said this, the people around him all gave him a thumbs up, and some people actually went home to get tools and began to help Ma Tao dredge the canal for the sweet potato field, the number of people is strong, the efficiency is better, and it is faster, after all, there are many white potatoes here that they will buy and eat in the future.

Ma Tao was working hard to pick up the hoe, and he heard a sound in his ears, and the hoe seemed to have touched something in the dirt, "How can there be stones in this soft soil?" Ma Tao thought like this, turned over the hoe, and actually pulled out a black object in the mud, and soaked it in the stagnant water on the side, it was actually a ring......
