Chapter 421 Rice in a cave
Huo Wen opened the cell door, walked through the process with the goat guys, and took the cheering labor prisoners away.
After leaving the prison, Huo Wen asked them, "Now I want to go to the place where you planted rice before, where is it?" โ
"I'll take you there, Commander, if anyone else's words..."
"Let's go home and tell your family what you have to do, and then you will have to wait three months to go home."
"Don't try to run, the goats have your records, you can't run away."
"Thank you, thank you, Commander, thank you so much~"
Everyone dispersed, and the most distressing thing for Huo Wen was that most of them left, and some people walked very slowly with crutches, and some could only walk with two people supporting each other, and even crutches were useless.
"That's the case, if you are injured in the battle, you can only end up like this, but the brothers don't regret it, at least we used to fight for Yangcheng."
Huo Wen glanced at him: "Tell the truth." โ
"Yes!"
The original leader with a fake smile instantly collapsed, replaced by regret.
"If the brothers had known that the treatment of wounded soldiers was like this, we would definitely not have done anything to soldiers and soldiers, and the pension issued would have been used up in a month, and then we would have to figure out how to eat, drink, live and travel ourselves."
"But where did we who couldn't work find a way, when we couldn't find a job, and we almost starved to death, it was that mummy-like guy with a bandage on his head that saved us..."
"It's true that he saved you, but how many people did he kill in this place where you bought wine?"
Huo Wen asked him with a slight anger on his face, "How can you see death and not save it?" โ
The leader's expression was very ordinary and he spit out a number: "Four hundred and sixty-eight." โ
"You?" Huo Wen was stunned: "How do you know so clearly." โ
"I remember everything, the man the old man killed."
"At first, there were people who resisted and wanted to stop the old man, but they were all killed by the old man, and then gradually everyone formed an agreement, that is, they didn't care about these things."
"Then isn't he afraid that others will leak this matter?"
"Don't be afraid."
"Because he will use his own ability to make everyone forget about this matter every time, he is not afraid of people going out to sue him at all."
Huo Wen felt a little strange: "But I still remember?" โ
"Me too, I remember everyone he killed, because people with extremely strong mental strength can resist, but now it may only be me and you."
"You too?"
The leader bowed: "My ability is memory, basically I can remember everything I have seen, and I can't forget it." โ
The two chatted while walking, and they finally got out of the city.
Huo Wen asked him, "Where did you grow rice, and why did you stay undetected for so long?" โ
"You'll know when you get there."
"By the way, I don't know your name yet, mine
The name is Howen, are you? โ
"Oh, yes, my name is Li Yuanchao, a native of Shenzhen, and I came to Guangzhou with the construction site."
"That's it... I can't see that you're still so strong in your sixties and seventies. โ
"Hey, where do you want to go, when my grandfather named me, I remembered my father's younger brother who died a year younger, and he said that I looked very similar to him when he was born, so he gave me my uncle's name."
"Then I know, your father's name is Li Jianguo?"
"Yes... Commander, how do you know? โ
Li Yuanchao scratched his head suspiciously and asked Huo Wen.
Huo Wen solemnly: "Because the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea was from 50 to 53 years, and there were many people who called for aid to Korea at that time, and another year ago, that is, the establishment of the Celestial Empire in 49, and that year was also the year when many people named their children the founding of the country." โ
"In this way, no wonder I said that in my life, I have met thirty-eight people called Aiding Korea, forty-six people called Jianguo, and three of them have the same name and surname as me..."
"Stop, let's talk about where you planted the rice."
"Right here, Commander, please see."
Li Yuanchao pointed to a bush and said.
Huo Wen looked at the grass, and an idea came to him: "This is it?" Could it be that your rice planting base is in a cave? โ
"yes."
"This is a place where Lao Zhang exchanged his life, because after he found out that he came here to find us again, he died because he was bitten by the poisonous snake inside."
Li Yuanchao lifted the grass and led Huo Wen into the cave.
And Huo Wen found that not only was the cave not dark, but there was also a very bright light in front of it.
"Here, the dog Dan blocked the attack of a giant python for us, and he himself was swallowed by the giant python... Don't get me wrong, that guy is called a dog. โ
Li Yuanchao said as he walked, pointing to the bloodstain on the wall.
"And here, when we had just planted the first batch of rice seedlings, a big spider rushed in, and the yellow dwarf, Liang Cannon, and the sissy cannon all died under his leg blade..."
With such a super memory, the most painful thing is this, Li Yuanchao will remember all the happiness, but at the same time, he can't forget all the sad memories, and he can't even escape.
Huo Wen didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became sad as Li Yuanchao poured out one thing after another.
In the end, the two of them walked to the source of the bright line of vision!
It was a skylight, it was big and very high, so there was nothing wrong with it, no beast would jump from it, except for the spiders and stuff that I mentioned earlier.
Seeing these things in front of him, Huo Wen was so surprised that he couldn't believe his eyes!
If it weren't for the last days and caves, Huo Wen would even think that this was a rice cultivation base somewhere, just like a seawater rice cultivation base.
"Is this really the rice you grow?"
Li Yuanchao nodded a little proudly: "Yes, what's wrong."
ใ โ
Huo Wen looked at the rice planted in the cave, and only thought of one word for a long time: "Cow. Force! โ
"Hahaha, do you want to see where we make wine again."
"Hmm."
The next Huo Wen seemed to be out of energy, and his mind was full of a large golden rice field, and he didn't even hear Li Yuanchao's words.
It wasn't until he walked out of this cave that Huo Wen suddenly came to his senses, looking at the cave behind him, which could be called a miracle, he asked Li Yuanchao: "By the way, how long is the growth cycle of rice here in general?" โ
"It's about two months less, fifty-seven days."
"This growth cycle is getting faster and faster, and now, at the beginning, it was about the same as before, a 96-day growth cycle, but now it has shrunk by nearly half."
"So fast!"
Huo Wen calculated, it used to take 100 days for rice to produce rice, but now it only takes half the time to harvest the same amount of rice, this news is simply the best news that Yangcheng has received since the war with the Three Body Kingdoms!
"This is the achievement of our efforts in the past six months."
"There are also pollination problems, we have solved them, and now we only need a piece of land, and we can plant rice right away!"
Li Yuanchao slapped his chest thumping and said with an oath.
But Huo Wen was a little embarrassed: "Well, there is no place for you to plant rice now, the city has not been built yet, and now I am afraid that I will be attacked by strange beasts and aliens, so I still need to wait for a while." โ
"But you can continue to grow in this cave, but you won't be able to make any more wine."
"That's fine, as long as we don't lock us up at home like jail time."
"Hmm."
Huo Wen and Li Yuan walked towards Yangcheng, and to his disappointment, they walked to the gate of Yangcheng, and they did not encounter an attack from a single strange beast.
He now misses the days when he could be attacked by stomach worms when he walked on the road, at least they would have meat to eat.
Looking at this city gate, Li Yuanchao seemed to remember another thing.
"By the way, Commander, some time ago, there was a group of people who couldn't speak who wanted to hide in our wine jars and enter the city, it seems that they were engaged in those skin and meat business, do you think it could be because they committed crimes in other cities, and then ran through Yangcheng to take refuge?"
Huo Wenyi frowned: "They can't speak, how can they communicate with you?" โ
"I heard from those who came back that they first pointed to the jars, then they went in, and then they pointed to the gates of Yangcheng."
"Some of the brothers tried to get them out of the jugs, but they killed them with their swords, and in the end only a few brothers pushed their jugs into the city, and the others were told to be hostages outside the city, but they were never heard from again."
Li Yuanchao mentioned this incident and was a little resentful: "We told the guards about it, but they said they didn't know, and the people from the goat guard went over to inquire, and they reacted the same, and then they charged us two or three times the toll..."
Footman
It was the first time he had heard of these things, but he still got to the point: "You mean, those who can't speak, haven't been found yet?" โ
"yes, those guards are disgusting!"
"Do you know where their skin and meat business is?"
Li Yuanchao patted his head: "I don't know this very well, but I remember that Lao Zhang knows, he often goes to patronize the business over there..."
"And where is he now?"
"Didn't he just go with the people who were going home?" Li Yuanchao said: "By the way, his dormitory is No. 3521, he should be there, after all, he has nowhere else to go." โ
"Okay, then you can go see your family too, and I'll go find him now."
"Okay, the room number of my dormitory is 4399, call me there if you have anything."
Li Yuanchao agreed, and Huo Wen also walked towards the dormitory.
This incident made him feel a little strange, someone who couldn't speak?
It's impossible, it's okay to be dumb alone, but this is a group of people, both men and women, how can they not speak? That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
There are only two possibilities, either as mentioned above, all the people here can't speak, or they are afraid to speak, afraid that they will reveal their identity by speaking.
But such a well-known figure, if he is really reduced to a leather and meat business, then at least Huo Wen and they will know a piece of news, so that he will not know about the existence of this matter until Li Yuanchao tells him now.
Although there are possibilities for both, Huo Wen still prefers the second one, because that one is more likely, and it may be some well-known figures in the outer city or Yangcheng.
And thinking of this, Huo Wen's mind came up with a person's face: Chief Liao.
Chief Liao, who was imprisoned in prison some time ago, heard that he had escaped from prison and fled directly outside Yangcheng, I don't know if he and his remnants came back again, this Huo Wen has to be dealt with seriously.
Adhering to the idea of doing it himself, Huo Wen found Lao Zhang's dormitory, looked at the 3521 written on the door with a wooden board, and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock~"
โ...โ
There was no movement at all inside, if it was normal in normal times, but Li Yuanchao said that this Lao Zhang had no home to go back to, so he could only go back to the dormitory, but now there is no movement in the dormitory.
Huo Wen knocked for a long time, but no one responded, so he simply twisted the lock of the dormitory door and actually opened it!
This is even more strange, because if the people in the dormitory go out hunting, then the door must be tight, and the dormitory hides their money and savings, and they can't be sloppy!
But now the door in front of Huo Wen's eyes opened with a random twist...
Since the doors are open, wouldn't it be a pity not to go in?
Huo Wen pushed open the door and walked in, but there was nothing abnormal inside, there was a road in the middle, and the bedding on the beds on both sides was still the same as most people, casually left aside and thrown aside.
Except that the smell on the shoe racks in the dormitory is a little stronger,
Basically, there is no difference between this place and a normal dormitory.
"Did they forget to lock the door?"
Huo Wen scratched his head, exited the room, and then went to find Li Yuanchao.
...
Among the three bodies
Yao Zhan was looking at the animal skin paper report in front of him, frowning deeply.
The last time they fought against those alien beasts, they harvested the corpses of nearly 200,000 alien beasts, and these harvests should have allowed them to survive for at least a month, after all, those alien beasts are so big.
However, just yesterday, their granary was attacked by a group of humans, and a third of the grain was directly snatched away!
At present, those humans do not know whether they are 'wicked' or fellow 'otherworldly' aliens, but he has already sent someone to find them, and I believe that the results will be soon.
At this time, the king of the daughter country ran in with a piece of animal skin paper, and ran in with great joy, and even tripped over her right foot because she was running so fast.
Yao Zhan resisted the urge to go up and help his daughter the king up, and watched her get up on her own.
"Good news, Chief!"
After the daughter king stood up, he handed the animal skin paper in her hand to Yao Zhan.
"What is this?"
"This is our country's own text, which means..."The daughter king deliberately bought a pass, just like looking at Yao Zhan's expectation.
But no, she just saw what she was looking forward to in Yao Zhan's eyes.
"What does that mean?"
Yao Zhan asked lightly, and his daughter King pursed his lips, but still said: "It's nothing, it means that they have found Huo Wen." โ
"Hmm." Yao Zhan listened to the flat tone, and seemed to feel nothing, but then he reacted: "You really found Huo Wen!" โ
"yes."
The daughter king showed an arrogant face like an invitation, as if to say praise me~
"Just now, a fat man called a door-to-door service in broad daylight, and then they had no choice but to arrest him, and only after interrogation did they know that this guy only saw Huo Wen in the morning."
"Tell me what Huo Wen looks like!" Yao Zhan looked a little anxious, he really believed in the prophecy too much.
"Well, let me see." The daughter king picked up the animal skin paper that had just been given to Yao Zhan on the table.
"His hair is bunched, black hair, his face is very manly, he has no beard on his face, and one of the most important features is that he has two eyeballs in his left eye, one up and one down..."
Before the daughter king finished speaking, Yao Zhan took it: "One red, one dark red?" โ
"Yes, how do you know, Chief?"
Yao Zhan stood up suddenly: "It's really the Huo Wen in the prophecy!" โ
"I said, Chief, can you please not be so startled, scary."
"Where is he now?"
"In City No. 1, by the way, he is the commander of that city, because the 'wicked' in the city only knew him as the commander, but not his name, so we couldn't find him all the time."
The fat man said that he was also going to find him in person in the morning
, after that Huo Wen's self-introduction, he learned that his leader was originally called Huo Wen..."
Yao Zhan tapped his hand on the table, and finally, he made a decision.
"Take me to the fat man, I'm going to ask him something."
"Okay."
The daughter king nodded, and took Yao Zhan to find the fat man who was captured.
The moment he saw this fat man, a word jumped into Yao Zhan's head: Lewd. Trifling.
Yes, Yao Zhan only has this evaluation about this fat man.
Because he gives people the impression that this is the case, with long and dirty hair, tattered clothes, a face full of acne, and narrowed eyes, giving people the image of a lewd big fat man.
Yao Zhan walked over and asked him, "Do you know that person named Huo Wen?" โ
"Yes, I only met him in the morning, he is our commander ..."
"What is your impression of him?"
"Broom Star!"
"It's just that he went to the place where we originally sold alcohol to make trouble, and the old man who was harmed went to prison and squatted all night, and in the morning he talked a lot, didn't he let us continue to work?"
"Now that I just disbanded, after letting us go back, I finally had time to 'relax', and I was actually caught here by you, what do you say he is not a broom star?"
Yao Zhan didn't understand a little, what is the commander? What is a broom star? What is a prison?
Also, What is Liquor?
He didn't understand any of this.
"Tell me first, he's your commander, what is this commander?"
