Chapter 332: A Strange Village
After two months, Long Yu and the others finally arrived at the border of the Xianglong Empire safely, two or three miles ahead of the boundary monument, it is the largest disputed area on the entire continent, here is thousands of miles of fertile soil, located at the intersection of the borders of the three empires, and bordered by the orc wasteland, in addition, there is a road to the northern demonic beast forest, and here, it is also a sensitive area, and the armies of all countries are not allowed to enter.
Cao Zhengnan wore black armor and polished it brightly, and the black streamers on his head were waving in the wind, standing in front of Long Yu, like an iron tower. "Little host, we had to send it here. Cao Zhengnan returned with his fists clenched. Long Yu nodded, arched his hand with a grateful face, and said, "General Cao has protected him all the way, and he will be rewarded one day." "The little master's words are serious, this is a matter of his subordinates, this is to go to Free City, there are still thousands of miles away, and the son should still be careful." ”
Long Yu nodded, Cao Zhengnan jumped on the horse, the horse's head flicked, the reins were pulled, the black horse jumped in the air and neighed, and ran out with a "whoosh", and then, a black torrent disappeared in a moment.
"Let's go, let's keep going. Long Yu turned the horse's head and shouted, and the group continued to move. After two months of brutal training, the SS has changed from the original three-no personnel to a tough guy with a military temperament, at the request of Chil and Jiaye, the Arrow God Squad and the Golden Mastiffs also joined the training team, after the unification of the instructors**, these people are now pulled out, just momentum, can already be called soldiers, but unfortunately a little less murderous, after all, along the way, it is really easy.
"Huh~!" With a loud shout, Long Yu, who was riding a horse behind Jiaye and a few members of the Arrow God team, was stunned, and looked forward, and found that there was no figure on the road, but this shout was obviously like coming from the front. Kaye and the others naturally stopped their horse steps and leaned forward, and Kaye turned his head with a strange expression. Long Yu pinched the horse's belly and passed through the Kaye in front of them, and then he saw the person who was drinking.
"Haha, whose child is this, it's honest. Ye Wenhao followed to take a look, first covered his stomach and laughed, a meter away from the horse's head, there was a small man more than a meter long, although the body was small, but the muscles of this person were also developed, but how to look a little weird, the beard on his face, the brown beard was even braided into several big braids, and he was holding a stone hammer in his hand, and he was staring at Long Yu and them.
"I said, little friend, you don't want to rob, do you?" Yi Shuihan came up from behind and said with a dumb smile. "This mountain is me..." The bearded dwarf was just about to sing the opening line, but Ye Wenhao laughed and stretched out his hand to make a stop gesture. "Don't talk about this tune, I really can't stand it, let's say, do you want money or money?" Ye Wenhao couldn't help but laugh while holding his stomach.
"Eh" The bearded dwarf was stunned for a moment, paused for a few seconds and said: "You don't let me finish my words, I can't go down~!" "Hahaha" As soon as the words came out, even Jiaye couldn't help it, a group of people rode on the high-headed horse and laughed directly, Long Yu also smiled, leaned forward and said: "That, don't blame my brother, you say, how much money do you want, we will give it." ”
The bearded man thought for a long time, then cocked the thick fingers of his other hand and counted them and said, "One gold coin, less than one gold coin, don't think about it." "Hahahaha" Long Yu was just about to answer, Ye Wenhao burst into laughter, "Xiao Han, give him a gold coin, it's not easy to be cold." ”
As soon as Long Yu finished speaking, Yi Shuihan took out a gold coin from his arms and threw it over, the bearded dwarf had a big hand, and held the gold coin firmly in his hand, and after taking it, he seemed to not believe that Long Yu and the others were so happy, so he actually put it in his mouth and bit it twice, and after confirming that it was gold, he jumped to the other side of the road. "Let's go. Long Yu flicked his horse's head, and the convoy walked slowly, and when the SS soldiers who followed behind passed the dwarf, they were all quite amused, and could not help but look at it a few more times.
"Big brother, did you give him the money like this?" Ye Wenhao asked puzzled. "It's not easy to rob on such a cold day, besides, I don't think that dwarf looks like a profession, I guess he was in trouble. Long Yu glanced back at him. "How do you see that?" Ye Wenhao asked curiously. Long Yu smiled slightly: "You have seen today's robbers, how can there be such a thing as robbers, besides, today's thief group, each hundred and ten people, basically will not do anything, you look at us, we are only fully armed with hundreds of people, and a little brain will not rob us, and besides, I see that although the dwarf is in tatters, the hammer is a famous thing." ”
"Well, the eldest brother is right, the hammer should be a lightning hammer, although it is a fake, but from the perspective of workmanship, it should be made by a master craftsman among the dwarves, it seems that this child's identity is not simple. Yi Shuihan echoed on the side. "Well, you've looked so closely, why don't we turn around and go back and arrest him, and let him be a blacksmith for us. Ye Wenhao opened his eyes wide and said with an evil face.
"It's time to hurry up and make less trouble~!" Yi Shui said with a cold face, Ye Wenhao pulled his face down all of a sudden, and muttered: "You can all see it so clearly, you were laughing so happily just now..." Long Yu and Yi Shuihan met and smiled.
After cooking at noon, the team continued on the road, saying that it was a thousand miles of great plains, in fact, there were still some hills that were not high, the hills were lush and green, full of trees two or three meters high, I couldn't see what kind of species, the deeper they went inside, the soil on the ground gradually turned red, and so on through a hill, Long Yu looked at the scene in front of him, and sighed: "The red clay plain, full of gold and silver money, really deserves its name." ”
Ye Wenhao ran up from the hill on horseback, jumped in his eyes, the red plain was in front of him, the Buddha was boundless, except for the woods, what he saw was a flat red, just as the sun was setting, the afterglow of the sun and the red ground were connected together, like a fire cloud, the eyes were full of gorgeous red, gradually, the dragon rain they were stupid.
"Alas, big brother, there seems to be a house over there" Ye Wenhao fell on the roof of the soldier truck at some point, hugged the spire on the soldier truck, and shouted in the wind. Long Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, and returned angrily: "I'm not blind again." "Amazingly, a village is more than ten meters away from Longyu and them, and there are a few old hens scattered in the forest outside the fence outside the village, walking leisurely and pecking hard in the soil.
The team slowly stopped, the sky was already dark, and the slanting sun on the horizon was about to fall, Long Yu stood at the entrance of the village and looked inside, and turned back. "What's the matter, let's not go in?" Ye Wenhao had already gotten off the fighting cart and asked curiously. "I can't see more than 100 families in this village, there are a lot of us, let's camp outside here, and then we will go in and get some fresh water." "Long Yu returned.
The camp has just been set up in half an hour, leaning on a raised hill, it can still block the wind at night, after cleaning up, Long Yu took Jiaye and them into the village, it is strange to say, Long Yu They are boiling outside, and no one in this village came out to see the excitement.
The houses in the village are all low mud houses, the roofs of the houses are covered with thick thatch, and the ground is paved with gravel crookedly.
"Childe, they seem to be very afraid of outsiders. Jia Ye said in a low voice, Long Yu followed Jia Ye's eyes, and the crack in the door of a thatched hut next to him did not close his eyes, and there were several bright lights flickering. Long Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and returned: "This red soil plain is not very peaceful, they are afraid of life, and they should be, hey, wells." Long Yu's eyes lit up, and on a small square, a large well stood there, and a wooden shed was built on top of the well, which was supposed to be used to protect against rain.
A few steps to the front, Long Yu looked down, the water was very clear, there was no impurity, it was hard to imagine, there was a desolation everywhere here, and the water in this well was so pure. Long Yu gently picked up a handful of water, drank it with a "thorn", and said with a sigh: "This water is so sweet, I will come in to get some water and give them some money." Long Yu looked around, the doors of several rooms were not closed tightly, Long Yu knew in his heart that someone must be peeking behind the crack in the door.
"Is it the devils who are in charge again?" asked a young woman in a low hut, holding her infant child in her arms, with a look of horror. Lying at the door was a capable middle-aged man, who turned his head lightly and said, "Don't make noise, no, it's some strangers." ”
"Master, let's close the door and stop causing trouble. The woman didn't know what she was afraid of, her lips trembled, the middle-aged man sighed, gently closed the door, tiptoed over, teased the child in the woman's arms, and whispered: "It's okay, listen to those adults say that there will be no taxes in our village in the past few months, just some outsiders, don't worry." ”
"Why don't we run, and when the others fall asleep at night, let's go quietly, we can't stay here." The woman still looked terrified. "What nonsense are you talking about, have you forgotten Lao Li and his family, they just wanted to escape, they were skinned alive by the adults, and they were dried in the village for three days, have you forgotten. The man's eyes widened, and he didn't follow the way.
But he is so frightened every day. The woman said timidly. "My lord said that as long as we are obedient, we will only take our well water in the future, and we will not be asked to collect taxes again. The man was relieved. "Those are all devils, and you keep calling them adults. The woman's voice was a little higher, the man's neck shrank, and he slapped the woman's head with a slap, and scolded sharply: "You mother-in-law, how many times have I told you, you still want to live." ”
The woman was angry and annoyed, stamped her feet, and carried the child to the back room, and the man turned around and crept back to the crack in the door.
