Volume 2 The Beginning of the Forces Chapter 171 Benlan Town
The man has no bad intentions, just a straightforward man.
The man who spoke was called Hecheng, a member of the Naxi ethnic group. After the disaster, I gathered some friends and set up a farm. There are Han, Naxi, Tibetan, Lisu, and Bai ethnic groups, a total of 36 people. Every six months, they will send a batch of livestock to the town of Benlan in exchange for daily necessities.
"Why don't you start farming near Benlan Town?" Luo Youcheng asked.
He Cheng only said that it was more suitable for them to engage in breeding, and the specific location was not said, and Luo Youcheng could understand.
He Cheng felt that northern Yunnan was still safe, and there was still Benlan Town to go to. You can't go to the south, there's no one left, it's all monsters.
Luo Youcheng agreed: "Yes, my younger brothers and sisters and I are hiding in the mountains, and we usually don't dare to go out, and we only come to the town once in three or five years." ”
Kazukoto asked curiously, "What do you do?" ”
"I used to be a modeler, so this time I'll take some of my own printed gadgets to the town to exchange something." Luo Youcheng took out a multi-functional fruit cutter from his backpack and handed it to He Cheng, "I haven't come out for a long time, and I don't know if there are any things we want in the town." ”
After the catastrophe, production returned to the small workshop model, and the producers did not have a plan, and most people only produced goods when they had barter needs. Luo Youcheng is not worried that his words will be looped.
"Good craftsmanship." He Cheng played with the fruit knife for a while and handed it back to Luo Youcheng, "With your ability, you can live a very nourishing life in the town." ”
Luo Youcheng grinned, the middle-aged uncle's mask was particularly honest, "In the past, when I worked in the company, I longed for an idyllic life, and now that I have an opportunity, I naturally can't miss it." And my sister has always felt safer in the mountains. ”
He Cheng turned around so that he could see the witch in the middle of the back row, "Sister, there are beasts in the mountains." ”
Seeing that the witch suddenly led the conversation to herself, she didn't know how to answer for a while, and turned her face to look at Luo Youcheng.
"My sister, unlike others, is afraid of people and not beasts."
Kazukoto glanced at the witch with interest, "Is it the beast that is close to the physique?" Ah Mei just come to our farm, your physique is suitable for us. ”
The witch hurriedly shook her head, and Kazukoto saw that the woman was introverted, laughed, and stopped joking.
Luo Youcheng also changed the topic at the right time: "And big brother, who did you say killed the slave hunting team?" ”
"I don't know, but I've heard from the townspeople that we have a lot of powerhouse protection in our area. The slave hunters are said to have died several times, and we certainly didn't see the first batch anyway. Some speculated that the Thunderwhip King's subordinates did it, but he denied that it had anything to do with him. He also hoped to meet these knights and have a good time. ”
It sounds like the Thunder Whip King is a great hero, Luo Youcheng silently wrote down this name, and he will slowly understand it later.
"Have you ever seen the Thunder Whip King make a move with your eldest brother?"
"The year before last, the monsters besieged the city, and I was fortunate to see it once, the magic whip can be long or short, and the sound of throwing it out is the same as thunder, and a whip can collect at least five or six monster heads."
Luo Youcheng said regretfully: "I don't know when I can also admire his old man's demeanor?" ”
The driver next to Hecheng laughed: "This brother is stupid in the mountains, right?" Every year in July, when the monsters besiege the city, his old man will take action. ”
He Cheng said: "It's no wonder that he can't be blamed, after all, he hasn't come out for many years, and the monster siege is just a matter of three or two years." ”
The driver answered: "It's strange to say, every time after the siege, a group of people will leave Benlan Town, and I don't know what these people think, is there a safer place in our area than Benlan Town." ”
Kasei said, "I was scared, now that I think about the dense monsters around the town, my legs are still a little shaky." ”
Luo Youcheng asked: "Then the people in the town are going to be empty?" ”
Kazukoto returned: "How is that possible? There are those who go, and there are those who come, and the town will take the initiative to look for outsiders who are willing to be sheltered every year. ”
As he spoke, the convoy stopped.
"Here we are." Kazusei opened the car door and jumped in.
Luo Youcheng followed and got out of the car. The town of Benlan was far from what he had imagined, the walls were twenty meters high, glowing with metallic sheen in the sunlight. To the east is the Jinsha River, which becomes its natural moat.
The witch screamed behind Luo Youcheng's back, Luo Youcheng shook his head secretly, this woman is too calm, and her acting skills are also very bad, so she won't be taken with her to investigate in the city in the future.
"This wall was only repaired three years ago, and it didn't take long for the monsters to come. In order to print the city walls, the houses on the east bank were completely demolished. Why do the people in the town admire the Thunder Whip King so much, force is one thing, the key is foresight, without his prediction, build the city wall in advance, the monster besieged the city for the first time, and a few people could not survive. Someone's coming, I'll go say hello. After saying that, Hecheng walked in the direction of the city gate cave. Luo Youcheng asked Shang Shiyin and the witch to wait in place, and followed himself.
A heavily armed guard walked this way with a smart one. "Lao He, did you send the livestock again?"
"Yes, horse team, it's been a long time, your baby daughter is more smart, right?"
The horse team glared: "Shameless old fellow, make fun of my daughter again and turn your face with you." Let me tell you, My daughter has a lord. ”
"That's a pity, I originally wanted to take more good things to honor my father-in-law, but now I only have a box of tobacco leaves." Kazusei took out a wooden box from his pocket and threw it to the horse team.
The horse team opened the box, twisted a small pinch with his fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "The quality of the tobacco this time is much stronger than in previous years." ”
"I've got a great lad there, he planted it, and I wanted to tell him to your daughter." Kazukoto pretended to be very sorry.
The horse team didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, looked around, and saw Luo Youcheng, his eyebrows moved, "This old brother is very fresh, and he is also new to you?" ”
"The people I met on the road, the people in the mountains, were all honest people." And sincerity.
"You tell the newcomer about the rules here, and give everything to the second fool." After the horse team finished speaking, they stood aside, their eyes scanning the convoy like a falcon, and assuming a businesslike posture.
The second fool is the artificial intelligence, which has four robotic arms. Kazukoto's companion gets out of the car and hands over the gun to Ersil. The second fool took the gun, took pictures, collected fingerprints and iris, marked the gun, scanned the whole body with a detector, acted methodically, mastered it easily, and finally put the gun into the stomach shaped like a square box.
"Weapons cannot be brought into the city, they must be handed over to the guards at the city gate for the time being, and they must be brought back when they leave." Kasei explained.
Luo Youcheng expressed his understanding, and he handed over the pistol holster to the second fool. The pistol was picked up from the slave hunters and pretended, as Kazusei said, it was a small toy, and he didn't care if the gate guards didn't return it. His only concern was the hologram, but after the second fool scanned it with the detector, he didn't say anything.
After collecting the weapons, the second fool circled around the three trucks, and after making sure that there was no problem, he sent a "beep" sound signal to the horse team.
The horse team's stiff face immediately showed a spring mood like a snow-melted mountain, and he laughed and said, "Then I wish Lao He a good price this time." ”
The convoy entered the city gate, and Hecheng was going to the meat depot to deliver the livestock, and Luo Youcheng thanked him and said goodbye.
The area of Benlan Town is not large, with three streets horizontal and two vertical streets. The house is not very high, the highest is only seven floors. The streets are lined with shops, and business is not good, half of them are closed, but there will be one or two customers who are open. It's not as prosperous as Beihu, but it's a rare lively place in the last days, at least in Luo Youcheng's opinion.
I didn't go far when I saw an inn with the door half-open and half-closed. The three of them pushed the door in, and the proprietress was lying on the sofa sleeping soundly, with her legs forked, revealing her big pants inside, her two arms raised above her head, snoring loudly, and her fleshy body fell together, not to mention how bad this sleep was.
Luo Youcheng knocked on the door twice more, but the meaty proprietress was still pulling the bellows, but the boss in the back room was alarmed. The boss is a very thin middle-aged man, quite tall, like a bamboo pole, and all the food in this house goes into the belly of the proprietress . He glanced at the three of them, walked over to the couch, and slapped the proprietress twice on the fat face. The proprietress stopped snoring, opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at the man in confusion.
"Guests are here, go to sleep in the back room."
The proprietress reluctantly got up and walked away with her big fat ass.
The boss put on a smiling face: "I'm sorry to let the three guests smile." Are the guests staying at the hotel? ”
The three nodded.
"Goods or cash?" The boss asked.
"Can this kind of money be used?" Shang Shiyin, who had been very low-key since he went out, took out a wad of banknotes at this time, which he had stolen from the slave hunting team.
The boss took it and saw that the denomination of the banknote was very large, and the value was 10,000, and he immediately handed it back, "The first time you came to town?" ”
"Yes, we are mountain people." Shang Shiyin replied.
The boss shrugged his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly: "How can people in the mountains have kyats?" You escaped from there? ”
It turned out to be kyats, with such a large denomination, it looked weird and scary.
"No, we are mountain people, and the money is picked up on the road."
The boss drooped at the corners of his eyes and pursed his mouth, as if he was saying that you are happy to tease me?
"Really, I met a slave hunting team on the way, and more than forty people were all killed, and the money was picked up there." The merchant is in remorse.
"Who killed it?" The owner came interested.
"So how do we know? They're all dead anyway. ”
After asking two more sentences, seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the boss returned to the topic, "If you want to live in a hotel, either there are items I fancy or Benzier." ”
The boss took out a shiny coin, which looked like some kind of jade, and made it look like a coin, with the face value engraved on it.
The merchant pouted and said, "It's really extravagant, take jade to make coins, and break it?" ”
"This is not any kind of jade, it is made of several mineral crystals that are melted and pressed, and it is strong and cannot be broken." The boss immediately threw Ben Zi'er to the ground, and Ben Zi'er bounced on the ground a few times, without any damage.
Luo Youcheng sat down on the sofa and picked out the contents of his backpack. "Boss, I printed it myself, is there anything you can see?"
The boss picked it up one by one and praised the good craftsmanship. In the end, the three of them exchanged a six-piece set of multi-functional pipe wrenches for three rooms and two nights' accommodation. The boss pointed to the foldable tableware storage rack and the ten-piece set of food carving knives and said:
"There's no place to eat in the town, plus these two, our restaurant includes food, what do you think, brother?"
Luo Youcheng pretended to think about it for a while, nodded and agreed.
The boss was overjoyed, picked up a few things, ran back to the bedroom, and slapped the big round ass.
"Mother-in-law, get up and cook."
