Soon, Yan Cannon returned to the boat with a bundle of berries in his hand, and laughed: "Little doll, your mistress is lucky, I didn't expect there to be this good thing here!" As he spoke, he carefully handed the plants in his hand to Zhang Xiaohu on the boat, and he returned to the shore and picked some.

"It's elderberry!" King Peter recognized it at a glance.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the elderberry in his hand and found that the leaves and fruits emitted a strange fragrance, and there were many withered milky yellow star-shaped flowers on the meridians, and many wine-colored berries grew in clumps.

"That's good stuff! Flowers and shoots do have the effect of treating colds, and can also supplement vitamin C and increase resistance! King Peter looked at Zhang Xiaohu, who was hesitant, and said again.

Yan Cannon returned to the boat wet, holding a large bundle in his hand, he took a few fruits and ate them in his mouth, and said with a smile: "This thing is a good thing, but the name is a little cheesy, it is called 'horse pee-sao', but after eating it, it can cure the wind and cold, and it can survive, I saw it when I was fighting in Anhui, but there is no such thing in Shanxi!"

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly took out some shoots and flowers, gently soaked them in the water in the kettle, and fed them to Li Yichen.

Every hour or two, he drank elderberry potion, and after a day, Li Yichen's high fever miraculously subsided, and people began to regain some consciousness.

Zhang Xiaohu felt that he was extremely wise in accepting Yan Dacang at the beginning, otherwise he would have died a long time ago, and Yichen's condition would not have been brought under control so quickly this time. He was full of curiosity about the former warlord.

At noon that day, the sun was strong, Yan Cannon soaked his feet in the water, and the man leaned on King Peter's body, humming some meat song in his mouth!

Zhang Xiaohu sat down beside him and said, "Uncle, thank you, thanks to you this time!" ”

Yan Dacang smiled, rubbed Zhang Xiaohu's head with his hand, and sighed lightly: "Don't be so polite to me, I've experienced everything in my life, some people are afraid of me!" Someone is going to kill me! But no one is looking at me! You are different from your people, you are sincere to me and treat me as a human being. I haven't read a book, but I don't look bad, you are all good dolls! After speaking, he looked at the place and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the poverty of my family, I wouldn't have come out to be this big soldier, for more than 20 years, if I were in the village, I would have a baby a long time ago!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu listened to Yan Dacang's words, and felt that his impression of him had deepened, and he asked, "Uncle, where are you from?" How can you have the surname Yan? ”

Yan Dacang smiled mysteriously and said, "I am from Henan, and I came out to serve as a soldier at the age of 14. At first, I followed Tian Dudu (Tian Wenlie, an early warlord in Henan), and later followed the loss of Lao Zhao Naniang, this beast will only accumulate money, and let the brothers exploit the people every day, I can't get used to it, so I voted for Yan Dudu. I'm not afraid of death in battle, I've made meritorious contributions, Yan Dudu has rewarded me, I think my previous name is not good, so I let him follow his surname, called me Yan Xinmin, this name sounds too girly, and then because I fired accurately, people called me Yan Cannon, speaking of which, you little dolls can't laugh at me! ”

After listening to the story told by Yan Dacang, Zhang Xiaohu also wanted to hear about the fun things he had when he was a soldier and fought in the war, but to his surprise, Yan Dacang only said one sentence about the war: "Listen to the order to fight!" Eat with a mouthful! Today you beat me, tomorrow I beat you! What is there to say! ”

There is nothing to say about the time on the boat, it is a monsoon river formed by the rain, there is no danger in the water, and the distance from the forest is far enough, but the wind and waves are calm and smooth south.

Two days later, Li Yichen was basically cured, and he could also get out of the cabin and breathe outside.

After another two days, the water gradually widened and merged into a wide lake.

They parked their boat beside an inlet and set up camp at the water's edge. Start planning your next steps.

Yan Dacang felt that since Li Yichen was already well, there was no need to move forward by boat, because this lake was quite vast, and if he lost his way on the water, it would delay time.

King Peter also agreed with Yan Cannon's point of view, because Chenyi said, what monsoon, they had been delayed a lot of time on the ship before, and now they should hurry up and make the itinerary to catch up with Chenyi and the others in front as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiaohu and the three of them had no other opinions, the only problem was that they could only rely on foot by land, and this speed was always inferior to the carriage in front, and the distance between the two sides would only get farther and farther. After discussing it late at night, they still didn't have a good idea, so they decided to take a boat and continue along the shore of the lake first, and then find a good way to dock again.

The next day, several people boarded the boat early and continued to sail south...

At noon that day, Zhao Zixuan was in charge of watching, and he suddenly found that a large village appeared on the shore, and he shouted: "There is a village there!" When they heard this, they were also very surprised, and hurriedly docked the boat, and several people took their weapons and hurried to the village on the edge of the forest.

The size of this village is much smaller than that of Donglu Village, all of which are made of wood, and the biggest difference is that a four- or five-meter-high wooden fence has been erected on the periphery of the village, and there are some simplely dressed villagers patrolling the wall.

As soon as Zhang Xiaohu and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that the village gate had been tightly closed, and more than 20 elite villagers had gathered on the wall, all holding weapons and looking nervously at the few people below.

A man with a black face shouted, "Who is coming to my Nanmu Village!" ”

"We are from Donglu Village!" Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while and replied.

"Nonsense! A day ago, the goddess of Donglu Village had just passed by, and said that there were no other clansmen, why did you pretend to be from Donglu Village, could it be that you were a pathfinder or a member of Yelang Country? The black-faced man replied.

Zhang Xiaohu and the others looked around, and finally knew the whereabouts of Chenyi and them, it seemed that the distance between the two sides was not as far as imagined.

Yan Cannon raised his gun impatiently and fired a shot at the wall, which happened to hit the pigtail of a villager who was tied up high, and showed off his marksmanship in front of the crowd, he shouted: "Shao and Lao Tzu nonsense, open the gate, let us in, and then prepare some good wine and good food to entertain, and give us a few horses after eating, we still have important matters, so I won't worry about you." ”

The villagers on the wall didn't expect this fierce man to say that he would do it, and they all showed angry expressions, and even opened their bows and arrows, looking ready to fight back.

"Lao Zhang, this Nanmu Village is not right! I remember that the people in Donglu Village are quite peaceful, why are the people here still quite bloody! Zhao Zixuan said to Zhang Xiaohu while holding his sickle and waving it at the wall at random.

Zhang Xiaohu was also quite curious, Donglu Village's embarrassed appearance when facing the pathfinders before left a deep impression on him, why were the people of Nanmu Village completely different.

The black-faced man shouted again, "If you don't retreat, don't worry about us." After saying that, with a wave of his hand, all the bows and arrows on the wall were fired in a volley, and all the arrows shot fell around Zhang Xiaohu and the others.

Yan Dacang was angry from his heart, and he was about to shoot again, Zhang Xiaohu grabbed Yan Dacang's wrist and persuaded: "Uncle, don't do it, we are below, once we really fight, the situation will not be in our favor!" ”

"Senior, let's go back first, I've found out something." Li Yichen said suddenly. When several people heard this, they had no choice but to retreat to a place far away from the entrance of the village.

"Yichen, what did you find?" Zhang Xiaohu asked anxiously, he believed that Li Yichen's observation must have discovered something important.

"At the head of that city, there are people from Donglu Village, it seems that they are waiting for us, and they are also deliberately blocking us." Li Yichen said.

"Holy! It's so amazing to use it! Zhao Zixuan scolded.

"What's the use of talking about this now, it seems that they are determined not to let us pass." Zhang Xiaohu said angrily.

Yan Dacang suddenly laughed, took out two grenades from his pocket, and said with a smile: "it!" If you don't let the grandpas pass, you have to try the grandpa's methods! ”

"Uncle, is this...?" Zhang Xiaohu looked at the grenade and felt shocked.

"Haha! It's okay, this was stolen from the old witch, and there were only two of them, both of which I exchanged for fakes, and she must not have found out! Yan Dacang said happily.
