The convoy of Black Pond Village traveled in a circle, and more than 100 weak villagers were ruthlessly left behind with no one to take care of them. At first, there were quite a few people chasing after the convoy, but soon people kept falling behind.

The hardships of life have made these zombie-like people extremely weak. When their strength is exhausted, they will freeze to death by the bitter cold of the night. But there are still some people who grit their teeth and insist, walk for a while, stop for a while, take a breath, and keep moving forward.

When Zhou Qingfeng gave a mobilization speech on the side of the road, the thief McCann hid in the shadow of a wood. At that time, Zhou Qingfeng's defense was lax, and he could have attacked, but he listened to all the speeches quietly.

A particularly novel feeling.

McCann had never heard anything like that from above. No matter what church it is, no matter what person is in high authority, it doesn't say such things.

For example, the Priest of Morsi, who is currently in charge of the affairs of the Black Forest in the Bann Church, speaks with majesty and terrifying pressure, and only makes people tremble to complete the task, and never ......

McCann didn't know how to describe his feelings about Zhou Qingfeng's speech mobilization, as if there was a kind of factual, reasonable, and inspiring effect, or compelling to exhort. In short, it is not a feeling of fear, but a close companionship.

"Very strange boy." McCann watched Zhou Qingfeng lead the team away, giving up the idea of sneak attack and assassination on the way. He heard the destination of this team, but he didn't know what Zhou Qingfeng was going to do in Iron Furnace Village, "Maybe I should follow and have a look." ”

McCann set out on the road, overtaking the villagers of Black Marsh Village who were slowly moving forward. He found that although many people gave up following Zhou Qingfeng, and many people died halfway, there were still some people who were gritting their teeth and constantly chasing after them.

"These people are dirty and smelly, thin like skeletons, can they really catch up with the convoy ahead?" McCann shook his head, and finally didn't bother to talk to those who were constantly trying to survive, and walked briskly.

In the convoy ahead, the female Druinar had just jumped out of a rudimentary carriage and mounted her winter wolf companion. Ranger Luke rode past the carriage, frowned and looked into the carriage, shook his head and approached Nal.

"Do you think the barbarian will recover?" Luke asked.

Nal shook his head as well, "I don't know, his injuries are very serious, and I used a 'healing for minor injuries' magic on him, but it can only make him feel better." He needed the care of a senior priest, but there were no senior priests in the Black Forest. ”

The two were talking about Todd, a savage lying in a wagon, who was the only sick man in the convoy. Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to give up his friend and forcibly asked to take him.

Todd is also the number one man in the Black Forest. This guy is not bad, but he doesn't belong to any village, and he is a wandering adventurer who does odd jobs everywhere.

Both Luke and Nal know Todd. Their old dwarf Borg knew very well what happened to the barbarians. Normally, in this case, they would grieve the misfortune of their friends at best, but they would never run around with a seriously injured Todd like this.

Death in the Black Forest is so common that no one will be sad for long.

"I really don't know what to say about that boy named Hugo." Luke looked at Zhou Qingfeng, who was walking at the front of the team, and whispered to Naar: "But from a friend's point of view, Todd is lucky, he was not abandoned. ”

"That boy didn't even throw away the waste of Black Pond Village." Nal paid more attention to the villagers accompanying the convoy, her tone was cold, but she was secretly puzzled, "I don't understand why Hugo did this? He doesn't look like a guy who would do stupid things. ”

"At least these villagers are willing to follow Hugo closely."

"Follow? It's ridiculous. What qualifies these useless wastes to follow? I don't think Hugo really needs these villagers, but the villagers really need Hugo. ”

The two discussed for a long time, but finally fell silent. In the past, they always had to be a little more vigilant when working with others, and they could only use five points at most for ten points. Can be with Victor. Hugo is very comfortable to work with, and the teenager is very honest and considerate of others.

Zhou Qingfeng's 'benevolence' did not make everyone understand, and the adventurers of the Black Forest even had some contempt. But his 'weakness' is also a sign of harmlessness, and the team's ten-point strength can play at least seven or eight points, and there is a lot less unnecessary dirtiness.

As for Todd, who did not give up on being seriously injured and unconscious, this won the unanimous praise of the adventurers, who considered it a valuable virtue. Even if everyone can be called ruthless and ruthless, no one likes a guy who casually abandons his teammates.

The convoy advanced two miles, and Zhou Qingfeng really stayed behind to prepare food and hot water for the infirm people who might catch up behind. This is also an incomprehensible thing, but the villagers in the convoy are hardworking.

Everyone is actually silently paying attention to see if Zhou Qingfeng really does what he says - if Master Hugo doesn't even give up the most useless waste, then he will definitely not easily give up on these villagers who are in better condition.

It's not easy to find water in the woods, you need to run a good distance, and no one complains about anything. It is also dangerous to temporarily enter the woods to collect firewood, so Zhou Qingfeng personally explored the way.

Everyone has a share of the hot water that has been boiled, and even Luke and the others can fill the kettle they carry with them with boiling water, which is warm and comfortable on their bodies. With the hot water supply, the morale of the convoy can be kept stable, and after a short break, move on.

Zhou Qingfeng took a bowl of boiling hot water and walked to the carriage holding Todd. In a few days, the barbarian had lost weight several times, and his face was withered. The Sludge Leader's toxin was not removed from his body, only to slow the attack.

Zhou Qingfeng blew the hot water cooler, lifted Todd's head up, pried his mouth open, and poured him some hot water. The barbarian took a few sips, suddenly choked, coughed violently, and woke up from his coma.

Todd opened his eyes blankly, and his out-of-focus vision gradually became clearer. After recognizing Zhou Qingfeng, he asked weakly, "Ah, it's Victor." Am I already dead? ”

"I'm sorry, but you're not dead." Zhou Qingfeng continued to pick up the bowl, "You wake up just right, drink some water, eat something, and your body will recover." ”

"It was a surprise to me, I thought I could go to the land of the Father of the Forest." Todd obediently drank a few sips of water and ate a few pieces of bread handed over by Zhou Qingfeng. He tried to lift his hands, but found them completely weak. He looked around again......

"Where are we going?"

"Prepare for a counterattack, clean up the human traitors first, and then go and destroy the goblin lair. It's a pity that you won't be able to participate in this battle that is bound to be extremely exciting. When you're recovered, you'll have to listen to me brag. ”

Aha......

Zhou Qingfeng's optimism made Todd laugh too, he already understood his current situation, and understood that his friends had not given up on him.

The barbarian grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand and said earnestly: "Victor, you actually organized a counterattack, this is really a miracle, it is unimaginable to me. I'm lucky to know you. ”

Zhou Qingfeng immediately disliked and said: "Don't rely on my thoughts, I won't take care of you for a lifetime." You don't even know how smelly it is right now. Hurry up and pray to your Father of the Forest and let it help you recover. ”

But Todd's face darkened, "I have prayed, but the Father of the Forest has not answered me. I don't think the merits I've built are enough. I'm sorry, Victor, I'm dragging you down. ”

After a few words, Todd exhausted his strength and fell asleep again.

Zhou Qingfeng immediately pouted, "It doesn't work at the critical moment, I believe that this god has a bird, it's not as reliable as me." ”
