Chapter 54: Yancheng
Animals, like humans, are saddened by the death of their companions, but they do not bury or burn their companions like humans do, but simply guard them for a while and then leave.
So the Redmane Forest Pigs also departed after guarding their dead companions for a while. The wild boar herd drove away with its front feet, and Lin Yue, Shan Qingzi and others immediately rushed to the red-maned forest pig to dismember it, and first took the amount of ten catties of meat per person and hid it. As for the remaining meat, Lin Yue and the others slowly disposed of it.
In fact, in addition to the red-maned forest pig that was besieged to death by 300 people before, there was another one who died nearby, which was killed by Lin Yue's knife in the neck and bleeding too much. So after dealing with the previous red-maned forest pig, Lin Yue and the others continued to deal with this one.
It's just that when dealing with this red-maned forest pig again, another team approached, and they found Lin Yue and they were dealing with the corpse of the beast, and immediately surrounded them with glowing eyes.
There were almost a hundred people in this group, and they didn't reason with Lin Yue and them, and directly surrounded them and asked Lin Yue and them to hand over the corpses of the beasts.
"Or we'll give them this beast!" Lin Shaota looked at them far outnumbering him, and whispered, "Anyway, we have already got enough meat, so we don't have to fight with them!" ”
Shan Qingzi and Qing Zhao hesitated a little when they heard this, but Lin Yue smiled slightly, then looked at the group of people and said, "Which of you is the leader?" ”
As soon as Lin Yue's voice fell, a tall man raised his chin and sneered: "Lao Tzu is the leader, if you are honest and give us the corpse of the beast, I will ......."
However, before the tall man's words were finished, Lin Yue rushed in front of him with an arrow step, and then jumped behind him, put the iron knife on his neck, and whispered: "Do you want meat, or do you want death?" ”
This frightened the tall man, and he subconsciously struggled, but when the cold edge of the iron knife touched his neck, he didn't dare to move anymore, and could only tremble his lips and say, "You...... Don't mess around, there's something to discuss! ”
Lin Yue chuckled lightly and said, "It's really ridiculous, why didn't you have an idea to discuss just now?" ”
The tall man's face trembled, and he said, "My mistake, my fault, hero, take it easy!" ”
Lin Yue glanced around at the crowd around him, and after finding that they didn't dare to move easily, he understood that holding this tall man could indeed intimidate his entire team. After he unloaded the weapon on the tall man's body, he said to Kiyoko Chaoyama and the others: "Continue to dismember the corpse of the red-maned forest pig, I will see who dares to move!" ”
Yama Kiyoko and the others nodded with a smile, and then continued to dismember the corpse of the red-maned forest pig, using their respective backpacks or cloth bags to pack those pieces of meat.
No one dared to stop it during the whole process, because as soon as someone wanted to act rashly, the tall man who was held by Lin Yue with a knife immediately retreated.
When the body of the red-maned forest pig was dismembered to almost two or three hundred catties, Shan Qingzi asked people to stop, and then said to Lin Yue: "Most of the remaining ones are bones, and it is more difficult to carry, so leave them to them." ”
Lin Yue nodded, grabbed the tall man and said to Shan Qingzi and the others as he walked, "Let's go." Stand still and do not move, or I will kill him!" The last sentence was addressed to the crowd that surrounded him.
With a tall man as a hostage, Lin Yue and the others quickly distanced themselves from the group, and when they were almost out of sight, Lin Yue let the tall man go.
After the tall man was let go, he wanted to take someone to hunt down Lin Yue and them to take revenge, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it, but took someone to cut off the remaining two or three hundred catties of wild boar.
Although the remaining wild boar meat is relatively small in quantity, and most of it is bone, it is also a rare delicacy for this group. More than 100 of them have been shuttling through this forest for more than ten days, although the plants here are luxuriant, and picking wild vegetables and devouring them is enough for them to survive, but until now they have not tasted any meat, and now that there is a delicious food in front of them, how can they give up.
Lin Yue and the others, who were carrying a large amount of wild boar, quickly left the Death Forest because they had achieved their goal and hunted enough meat. A total of more than 1,400 catties, and each of them fifty or sixty people was almost thirty catties. It's just that these meats naturally can't be distributed equally, like Lin Yue, Shan Qingzi and others have a lot of credit when they hunt red-maned forest pigs, and they have relatively more food distributed. But in total, there is probably no one who has twenty pounds.
"Take these to Yancheng, each of us has enough qualifications for three!" When holding these meats, Lin Shaota looked very happy, it was the first time they had hunted so much food in these days.
Looking at Lin Shaota's fluttering appearance, Xue Dai pouted and said, "These are indeed enough for each of us to mix an intermediate member in Yancheng, but if we want to mix a senior member, it is far from enough!" ”
After Zhao Longtao heard Xue Dai's words, he immediately asked, "Then if you want to become a high-ranking member of Yancheng, how much food do you need to pay tribute?" ”
Xue Dai smiled and held out a finger.
Zhao Longtao was slightly stunned at first sight, and said tentatively: "One hundred catties? ”
"It's a thousand pounds!" Xue Dai shouted.
Zhao Longtao's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted: "I'll go, they're robbing, it's nearly a thousand dollars to be a senior member, and our food is only enough for one person to be a senior member!" ”
"That's why it's so hard to gain a foothold in Yancheng!" Qing Zhao also sighed and said: "We don't want so much, it's enough to be an intermediate member, and it's happier than anything else to be able to live stably in this new world!" ”
Shan Qingzi also nodded after hearing this, and said: "After each of us pays ten catties of food to obtain the qualification of intermediate members, the remaining meat is enough for us to exchange for some Yancheng currency, which is enough for us to live a good life in Yancheng for a while."
Watching them discuss the good life after joining Yancheng sentence by sentence, Lin Yue followed behind him without saying a word. Lin Yue was very clear about Yancheng's current situation, Yancheng seemed to be able to provide them with a long-term and stable life, but he didn't know how many unknown methods were used in it.
And the life in Yancheng is not as good as they imagined.
After a long journey, a group of people finally arrived in Yancheng.
However, Yancheng was not a tall city or a large fortified bunker as they had imagined, it was only a rudimentary wall of nearly two meters high with all kinds of stones and earth. However, the soldiers guarding the city gate made a deep impression on them, with uniform green uniforms, uniform simple broadswords, and even more so, an officer actually held a gun in his hand.
These people were already soldiers before the crossing, they were originally military cadets in S City, and after the Great Crossing, they were quickly assembled to resist the beasts and mobs, and soon established this Yan City. Today, these cadets are still the backbone of Yancheng, and they maintain this Yancheng as a strong soldier.
The rapid establishment of this Yan City depends on the superb strength of these soldiers. However, the establishment of a city does not only rely on the military, but also depends on politics and economy. However, the city lord of Yancheng did not grasp this very well, and he divided the people in Yancheng into ranks, which caused the class contradictions in Yancheng to become more and more acute in the future, until there was a riot in Yancheng later.
In the previous life, Yancheng caused a riot among low-level members because of the sharp class contradictions, and finally overthrew the absolute rule of the military over Yancheng. And Lin Yue rose in that riot, and then developed step by step and became the new city lord of Yancheng. It's just that Lin Yue spent nearly three years before and after this entire time period.
And in this life, Lin Yue had just arrived in Yancheng, so he didn't think about it so much, and joined Yancheng as an ordinary person. After all, his main purpose in coming here was not to rule Yancheng again, but to find his lover Liu Yunshuang.
After receiving the food from Lin Yue and the others, the soldiers guarding each of them were given a delicate woodcut tag as a status symbol for everyone who joined Yancheng. In addition to some intricate patterns carved on it, there is a string of numbers engraved on it, which serves as the identification number of each person.
"Lin Yue, this Yan City seems to be developing faster than our Yuan City, and it seems to be more orderly!" After Meng Wen roughly observed Yan Cheng, he whispered to Lin Yue.
"What's so strange about that?" Before Lin Yue could speak, Zhao Longtao spoke: "Their city is developed by a group of soldiers, and there is nothing to say about force, plus what they advocate is that soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and it is normal to establish a city in a very orderly manner."
Lin Yue smiled and didn't say too many words.
After the group obtained the intermediate membership of Yancheng, they were led by the soldiers to a simple wooden building, which had more than twenty rooms on two floors, and each room could accommodate five to ten people. Lin Yue, more than 50 of them were assigned to live here.
"I'll go, these rooms are so small, how can they be squeezed into five or ten people!" Looking at those rooms that were even narrower than the school dormitory, Zhao Longtao suddenly shouted.
"Be content, you!" Meng Wen patted Zhao Longtao's shoulder, pointed to a vacant lot in the far corner of the building, and said, "Look at the people over there, they don't even have wooden houses, they all lie on the ground and sleep directly." ”
After Meng Wen said this, Zhao Longtao immediately looked at it, and saw a vacant space the size of a basketball court, with no less than 200 people lying horizontally and vertically.
