Chapter 263: Conjecture
Lu Tian thought he was here to grab the territory, but when he got closer, he heard that these twenty or so people were actually here to ask for help.
"You just let us stay here for one night, and tomorrow we can find the right place."
"Yes, there are people in many places, but you are a bigger place."
Most of the twenty or so people were men, few women, and they looked very tired, and they should have been dragged behind before escaping.
"I'm sorry, I can't call the shots here, I hope you leave, there are a lot of places on this mountain, you also brought quilts, and you can get by at night."
Wu Bin and the other five adults blocked them, and they all sensed the ill intentions of these people, so naturally they couldn't let them stay.
"Don't you want to take us in with so many children?"
A rather tall man took a step forward, looking extremely dissatisfied.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, a voice sounded behind them, which shook the ears of more than twenty people, and they all turned around.
In the light of the night, a man dressed in gray was standing behind them, and the things in his hands made their saliva almost water.
"Captain, you're finally back."
Wu Bin saw Lu Tian and shouted, "You guys talk to the captain, he has the final say here." ”
These people's eyes were a little red, and a few guys in front of Lu Tian wiped their saliva, and said with a somewhat flattering smile: "This brother, you can pity us, we didn't bring much things, and it was really cold at night!" ”
Lu Tian frowned, the taste in this person's mouth made him a little disgusting, and the smell seemed to be somewhat familiar, which was a little strange.
"No, you leave immediately."
He threw down a sentence, walked directly through the crowd, and handed the things in his hand to Li Qingxue, "Go and prepare dinner, don't use stone piles to cook, go to the side and dig some mud to make a stove." ”
"This brother, all families are of the same clan, there is no need to be so indifferent, right?"
The tall man from before lowered his head and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
"Needless to say, there are so many of us here, how can we accommodate you, and we can find a place while it's not completely dark now."
More than 20 people looked at Lu Tian, their eyes were gloomy, and there was no sign of leaving.
"Oh~ You guys are trying to play helpless, don't you go, right?"
The appearance of these people like this had already angered him a little, Lu Tian held Wu Huang in his hand, and the murderous aura on his body was slowly released.
The tall man's eyes changed, and he smiled again, "Brother, since you don't want to keep us, why don't you give us some firewood, so that we can also keep warm on a cold night!" ”
After hearing this, Lu Tian gradually retracted his momentum, his eyes showed suspicion, and he said to Wu Bin lightly: "Get them a big bundle of dry firewood." ”
"Take your things and leave immediately, or I won't mind killing you!"
The cold momentum made Li Qingxue and the others behind them feel cold, and the more than 20 people were like falling into the Nine Shadows, and cold sweat broke out.
"Thank you, let's go!"
The tall man glanced at Lu Tian with some fear, and after carrying a large bundle of firewood given by Lu Tian, he gave the others a look and left silently.
Lu Tian stood on the edge of the hillside, watching the figures of these people gradually be swallowed up by the night, before he withdrew his gaze and said with some uncertainty: "This taste, it shouldn't be wrong." ”
Luoyi, Chen'er and others added some water to the dug soil to soften it into a clod, and slowly piled it up into a small stove in the stone cave, and then put a large pot on it, and then they could cook.
"There are too many people, so let's cook three more, and we can cook enough for everyone at once."
Walking next to a few people, Lu Tian pointed to the other three large iron pots, which he took out.
So Wu Bin and some of the children went to dig up the soil and make clay blocks for the new stove.
And Lu Tian walked next to Li Qingxue and helped her get a hare, he has superb knife skills, and he can solve it well without water.
The water in the nearby creek has been controlled by the army, not only to protect the water source, but also to control the use of water resources. So Wu Bin didn't get much water back, barely enough to eat, and didn't even have water for washing.
Li Qingxue added salt to a piece of meat, regardless of whether the meat was eaten or not, salt must be added, otherwise it will spoil soon, even if it is winter.
She tilted her head and asked Lu Tian curiously, "Do those people have problems, why do you have such an attitude?" ”
"It's all a bunch of bad guys, and it's a good thing you didn't let them in just now, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
"They just seem to want to spend the night?"
Li Qingxue's red lips moved slightly.
"This reason is too far-fetched, can't you all easily shirk it!"
The kitchen knife in Lu Tian's hand was like he was alive, and he cut the rabbit meat into pieces in a few clicks, and the excess internal organs were thrown by him to wait for someone to deal with them.
"And what are they trying to do?"
"It's supposed to be the kids inside, don't you notice that their eyes are constantly staring inside?"
Li Qingxue was even more puzzled, her big eyes seemed to be watery, seductive, "Why are they paying attention to these children?" ”
Lu Tian admired her beauty and replied meaningfully: "What do you say? What are the people lacking the most now? ”
"Is it?"
Her originally ruddy face turned pale in an instant, her eyebrows furrowed together, and disgust and disgust involuntarily flowed from her eyes.
"Cannibalism!"
"It's good to know, if I hadn't scared them just now, I guess they would have taken action."
Lu Tian slashed and cut off the entire rabbit head.
"How are you sure ~ determine what kind of ...... they are"
Li Qingxue forgot all the work in her hands, and the interest in her eyes was still undiminished.
"The taste, I met a guy who eats human flesh in another place yesterday, the taste of the two is very similar, I haven't smelled these on ordinary people, even if many people haven't taken a bath for half a month."
Li Qingxue still couldn't accept it, "Maybe the taste is similar, right?" ”
"That's why I didn't kill them, if they had done it, or said that they had eaten people, I would have taken their heads a long time ago, how could I let them go."
Lu Tian glanced outside a few times and replied lightly.
"But this is mostly true, in that case, you have to be more careful, there are so many children, and there is no combat effectiveness, if I am not there one day, they will come to rob people, you can't stop it."
The person next to him bit his lip, "They're powerful?" ”
"Well, I took a look, the weakest is equivalent to the strength of a strong man, and the guy at the higher point is stronger than Wu Bin, if they attack, it will be okay for a few of you to protect yourself, but those children will definitely suffer."
Lu Tian was wondering at this time, could the cannibalistic guy grow up faster, otherwise why these people were all very strong, and they had exceeded the basic level of survivors.
Li Qingxue nodded, "Got it, I'll tell them later, will you go out often these days?" ”
She thought of Lu Tian's departure the day before yesterday, and she was a little uneasy.
"I'm not sure, you guys start to build some fortifications tomorrow, so with the terrain here, it should be no problem to block those people, and I've just given them a little color, it's up to them to dare, if I'm here, I'll naturally wipe them out."
Lu Tian put down the things in his hand, he had already settled all the game, and he was waiting for dinner.
"You don't have to be nervous, it's possible that I'm mistaken, they're just a bunch of greedy guys."
……
Dinner had been cooked for a long time, and since Lu Tian had let these orphans follow, if he ate meat by himself, he would naturally not let them drink soup, and everyone would eat the same.
After eating, Lu Tian called Qi Yun over and said, "How is this dinner?" ”
"The best meal we've had in this time!"
Qi Yun replied without much thought.
"Any idea how it came to be?"
"It's the master!"
"Don't call me master, remember that your sister Xue asked for it, otherwise I won't care about you, there are too many people like you in this world, and I have never had extra sympathy to do charity."
Qi Yun lowered his head, "I know." ”
"Okay, remember that this meal won't last long, and when I leave one day, you still have to return to the way it was, if you want to keep it, you can only rely on yourself, and when you can hunt a large number of beasts and kill a large number of zombies, this meal is just an ordinary meal."
"Understood."
Lu Tian retracted his gaze, turned around and said lightly: "I'll tell you about cultivation now, you should remember it well, it's about yourself, and it's also about whether your other companions can learn martial arts in the future." ”
After stimulating Qi Yun's fighting spirit, Lu Tian was not verbose, and some common sense of cultivation was spit out sentence by sentence, quickly enriching Qi Yun's foundation.
The night came completely with a cold wind, there were no stars in the sky, there was not a trace of light, like that hazy future, I don't know when I can see the moon from the clouds.
Because of the arrival of humans, the animals in the nearby mountains have almost run away, so the only thing that can be seen nearby is the light of fires, scattered around, indicating that there are people of the same race there.
"Your qualifications are too poor, you have to spend more time cultivating every day, it's better to sleep less at night, seize a few hours in the morning, that is the most efficient, as for the strong body fluid I gave you, at most improve a certain physical fitness of yours to three times that of ordinary people, at that time, no matter what your achievements in martial arts are, I won't care about you anymore."
"Go to sleep, tomorrow at three o'clock in the morning, I will call you and let you officially try the spitting technique."
Lu Tian waved his hand and sent Qi Yun away, then sat cross-legged on the side of the mountain and began to cultivate.
The frost fell in the middle of the night, and Lu Tian's eyebrows turned white, but he didn't do anything at all, and he still closed his eyes and cultivated.
The fire became smaller and smaller, and the people sleeping in the stone cave subconsciously covered the quilts on their bodies, and the temperature had already reached minus five or six degrees, and many of the survivors were too cold to sleep.
The footsteps sounded slightly, waking up Wu Bin and Li Qingxue, and when they saw that it was Lu Tian, they closed their eyes again.
Lu Tian threw a few pieces of dry wood into the fire, and the flames rose again, dispelling the surrounding cold.
"Get up and practice!"
Lu Tian patted Qi Yun's face, directly lifted his quilt, and the cold wind poured in, which directly made him shiver and woke up from his daze.
Qi Yun got dressed with some difficulty, and was taken outside by Lu Tian, the biting cold made his hands and feet begin to become cold, and it seemed that in the next second, he was going to freeze to death.
"Drink it, or you'll die of cold."
Lu Tian let Qi Yun drink a bottle of strong body fluid, relying on the medicinal properties to resist the cold, Qi Yun honestly sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to vomit according to what Lu Tian said.
