Chapter 254: Ye Zifeng's Gift
"Who?"
Seeing someone coming from a distance, a guard man on the gate tower raised his bow and arrow and pointed it at the opposite side.
"I'm Yang Dali, put down the drawbridge and let us pass!."
Yang vigorously waved and shouted.
"It's Brother Dali, they're back, quick, put the drawbridge down!"
The guard on the watchtower said to the people below.
"Bang!"
The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and Ye Zifeng and the others followed the enthusiastic Yang Dali into the poplar ditch gathering place.
"What a big wild boar, Brother Dali, you are so powerful, you can eat meat now!"
As soon as they entered the gathering place, many people gathered around, and they looked at the big wild boar that came in and sighed with emotion, and at the same time drooled greedily. Yang Dali said that since the end of the world, they don't talk about eating meat, they are satisfied with potatoes and sweet potatoes every day, and eating wild vegetables is a common thing.
"Dali, you're back!"
At this time, 2 middle-aged men and 1 old man walked over.
"Old village chief, Uncle Nan, Uncle Luo."
Yang Dali saluted the three of them one by one.
"Well, I didn't encounter anything on the way!"
One of the middle-aged men with thick eyebrows asked.
"Uncle Nan, Ah Le and Ah Qing are dead, I hurt them!"
Yang Dali blamed himself a little, if he hadn't accidentally stepped on a branch and made a sound, they wouldn't have been discovered and chased by the giant lion, and the two of them wouldn't have died.
"Okay kid, don't blame yourself too much, this is the number of fate, the people in Yangshugou will remember them."
The old man comforted Yang Dali.
"Dali, who are these three?"
Another middle-aged man looked at Ye Zifeng and asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce to you, these three brothers are Ye Zifeng, Li Guang, and Su Moxuan, they are our saviors, if it weren't for them, maybe we would all die today!"
Yang Dali said excitedly.
"Thank you for the righteous action of the three of you, otherwise these juniors will not be able to come back!"
Yang Dali briefly recounted the before and after of the incident, and the three of them were also shocked when they heard that the giant lion appeared in Chaolinggang, after all, they had never heard of a lion infested there, and at the same time thanked Ye Zifeng and were very surprised that they could subdue the giant lion.
"The old gentleman is polite, in this disaster, everyone is a survivor, it is not easy to survive, we should help each other!"
Ye Zifeng said modestly.
"Hehe, the three little brothers are young but have such great power, they can really be described as heroes and teenagers."
The old man smiled and nodded, and then asked Yang Dali to take Ye Zifeng and the three of them to rest.
There are not many people in the Yangshugou gathering area, only less than 300 people, most of them are local villagers near Yangshugou, and a few are fleeing here. The terrain is not bad, there is a 10-meter-wide river in front of the gate separating the gathering place from the two places, and the only suspension bridge in front of the gate is in front of the door.
Ye Zifeng found that these villagers did not have many decent weapons in their hands, most of them were holding scythes, hoes and other agricultural tools, and some people made their own bows and arrows, such as the shotgun in Yang Dali's hand was handed down from the ancestors, and it was the only thermal weapon with shocking power in the gathering place.
Evening.
Time darkened, and a bonfire lit up in the gathering place, and everyone's faces looked very happy. There was an enticing aroma in the air, it was wild boar soup boiling in a cauldron, and as a round-headed man tapped the iron basin with a spoon, it was officially opened.
"It's delicious!"
"Oh mom, it's so fragrant, I haven't smelled meat for a long time!"
Each person can hold a bowl of broth, a few large pieces of wild boar, the first to eat the meat, drink the soup, the face is delicious, so that the people in the queue behind look hungry and thirsty. The three Ye Zifeng, who were resting in the house, also received their share, which Yang Dali personally delivered, and specially picked a few larger pieces of meat, this thousand catties of wild boar was enough for them to eat for two or three days.
"Three little brothers, I'm sorry, we don't have anything here, and we can't entertain you with anything good!"
In the evening, the old village chief, accompanied by two middle-aged men, knocked on the door and walked in, saying with a charitable face.
"Don't say that, old gentleman, you don't need to be so outside!"
Ye Zifeng quickly stood up.
"The old man's name is Yang Hongji, he is the previous village chief of Yangshugou, where did the three little brothers come from and where are they going?"
Yang Hongji asked after sitting down.
"We are from Jiangnan City, and we are going to Enze City in the East."
Ye Zifeng replied.
"To the east? You can't go! ”
The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows shook his head.
"Why can't you go?"
Su Moxuan asked curiously.
"Don't you know, more than 10 kilometers east of us is Anping Town, and tens of thousands of people in the entire town have become man-eating demons, and we have people who escaped from there, and there are monsters in this area."
The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows said with some timidity.
"Monsters?"
Ye Zifeng and the three looked at each other.
"That's right, we all saw it, once it flew over our gathering place, and the sky was covered by black shadows, at least 100 meters long!"
The bearded middle-aged man on the side said.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we have a reason to go!"
Ye Zifeng did not discourage the idea of moving forward because of this.
"In that case, then let them go with you, take care of the road, and if you encounter danger, you can go back to Yangshugou."
The old village chief said.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine, besides, you are already short of people and things, let them go with us again, what about the safety here!"
Ye Zifeng politely refused.
"Okay!"
Seeing this, the old village chief was no longer insisting.
"Fengzi, this place is good, and the people are quite kind, unlike those people in Dawn City, who know all day long that they are digging their hearts and hurting people behind their backs, and they will fight to the death for a little power and unsightly deeds!"
After the old village chief and they left, Li Guang lay down and hugged his head and complained.
"One side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, respect, generosity, kindness is the foundation of life, this is good to say before the end of the world, but now that the world has changed, I am afraid that they will suffer because of this!"
Ye Zifeng said worriedly.
After a night.
The next morning, the sun rose high, and the air was exceptionally fresh today due to a shower that fell last night. Ye Zifeng released the garbage in his body after they got up, ate some dry food and prepared to set off.
"Brother Ye, you won't stay for two more days, and you'll leave so soon!"
Knowing that Ye Zifeng and they were leaving, Yang Dali was very surprised.
"Time is of the essence for us, so we can't help it. But don't worry, we'll be here for two more days when we get back! ”
Ye Zifeng said with a smile.
Under the beckoning gaze of everyone, Ye Zifeng and the three of them left the Yangshugou gathering place.
"Old village chief, come and see!"
While tidying up the house where Ye Zifeng lived in, a woman shouted.
When they came to the house, they saw 10 bundles of sacks of rice and flour and some vegetables stacked in a corner, and a note was left on the table with seven words: "Be careful, please take it!" ”。
"This young man is not simple, he will be able to achieve great things in the future!"
The old village chief took the note and looked in the direction where Ye Zifeng and they left, and muttered to himself.
