Chapter 8 "Coincidence" Encounter

Even if there is no minced turnip to enhance the taste, the meat of the roasted mutant creature also makes Qi Yunxiao lick the tip of his nose straight after eating, and after walking all day, it is great to have a hearty meal as a reward, but it is Chen Zhen who really relieves everyone's fatigue.

"It's time to take a shower." When everyone had eaten about the same, he appeared like a shadow, took out a piece of jerky from his big backpack, and said to Qi Yunxiao.

The bones can't eat the meat of mutant creatures, Wolf Wei roasted those that had nothing to do with him, and he went to Shangyi Road to exchange for meat, and all the meat of ordinary animals in Feng Longsheng's store was in his big bag.

"Take a bath?" Not only Qi Yunxiao, everyone looked at Chen Zhen after hearing it.

He tore off a piece of meat and chewed it carefully, "um", and turned to walk in the direction he was coming from.

Qi Yunxiao hurriedly got up and followed, Aunt Mei also followed her, and there were a few wolf guards behind her, and Qin Shan was also inside.

After climbing over piles of bricks and turning a few corners, they saw two gasoline drums standing side by side in a freshly cleared clearing, with a pair of bright light stones in between.

The gasoline barrel is raised by a circle of cement blocks, and a pole made of iron wire is erected next to it, and the bottom of the pole is connected to the hot stone at the bottom of the barrel, and a person can take a bath in the barrel, and when the water is hot, he pushes the rod to remove the hot stone from the bottom of the barrel, and then moves it back when the water is cold.

The bucket is padded with a layer of stones, and then a wooden board is placed on the stone, so that you are not afraid of burning your feet at the bottom of the barrel, the hot stone can be replaced by charcoal and firewood, and the materials are not difficult to find.

"You invented it?" Qi Yunxiao's eyes lit up as soon as he saw this bathing device, this thing is simple to operate, and there is no need to explain it at all, in fact, it is just to use the gasoline barrel as a pot, treat yourself as an ingredient, and pay attention to the heat and cook slowly.

"Bathing with a gasoline drum has been around for a long time, and the heating device is what I thought, and someone may have used it before, so it is not an invention." Chen Zhen pointed to a dilapidated house next to him and said, "There is an underground water outlet inside, which can be replaced." ”

He turned to the wolf guard and said, "There are rust spots in the bucket, there may be tetanus bacilli, and it is best not to soak those with deep wounds on the body." ”

After explaining, he thought about it and felt that there was nothing missing, so he turned around and left.

Qi Yunxiao and Aunt Mei stayed, and Qin Shan arranged a few wolf guards who were injured and could not enjoy the benefits of bathing to guard nearby, so as not to let mutated creatures come out of the shadows.

Quickly following Chen Zhen, Qin Shan asked with a smile: "When you return to Liang Cheng, the reward you want won't be Liang Cheng, right?" ”

Chen Zhen turned his head to look at him, his expression a little dazed: "Liang Cheng? Why? ”

Qin Shan smiled bitterly: "It's only been half a day, we feel that we owe you a lot, no matter how lucky we are, it will take a month to get to Liangcheng, if every day is like today, then even if you want Liangcheng after you go back, it won't be too much, but unfortunately we can't afford it." ”

"Don't give it, troublesome, not interested." Chen Zhen didn't walk fast, and every step was the same distance, giving people the feeling that he could go on like this forever.

…………

A month passed quickly.

By the lake, Qi Yunxiao threw out a large piece of jerky in her hand to express the joy in her heart, it was unwise to shout outside the city, but it was also unhealthy to hold the joy in her heart, she used this method.

Liangcheng is located in the southwest of the Pangu continent, the climate is relatively warm, after walking for a month, the temperature here is no different from Shangyi Road, the weeping willows by the lake are still very green, and the idle flowers and wild grasses are still swaying in the cold wind.

The jerky fell into the lake, causing ripples, leading to more and larger ripples, intertwining and influencing each other, and the shaking of the lake surface became violent.

"King Carp, please bless Liangcheng from insect plague next year!" Qi Yunxiao looked at the surface of the water and took out a piece of jerky from his cloth pocket.

This lake is called Thin Wind, it only appeared after the catastrophe, it is long and narrow, slightly curved, like a barrier to protect the west side of Liangcheng, there is a very old mutant crucian carp in the lake, called the crucian carp king, someone has seen it more than 100 years ago, it was about 40 meters long when it was last seen seven years ago, I don't know if there is a long one after that.

After all, it is also a mutant creature, bless or something is just to seek a psychological comfort, feeding the crucian carp king is the tradition of the wolf guard, when patrolling here, he will always throw a few pieces of meat into it, recite a few prayers, from giving birth to a baby to cure the disease to making a fortune and avoid disasters, even if the crucian carp king can't eat it, its crucian carp grandchildren can also enjoy it.

Slender Wind Lake is only half a day's journey away from Liangcheng, and in front of it is the defense area of the wolf guard, which is really safe, in fact, it is very safe and comfortable along the way.

Chen Zhen was squatting by the lake to wash the knife, the knife was still sharp, and the pattern on the blade was still beautiful, but the handle was still a little ugly, Qi Yunxiao, Zhou Ding and Qin Shan all offered to help him rewrap the handle, but he always said lightly, "No."

This is a very simple person.

The human brain likes to complicate things, at first everyone thought that he was just a person with a deep city and a serious psychological shadow, but after getting along for a long time, it can be seen that he is really simple, as simple as the steel crossbow of the city guard, the structure of the steel crossbow is very simple, because the simpler the structure, the less likely it is to fail, and the fragile winch can be replaced at any time.

"Let's go, the last half a day, you can rest enough when you get home." Seeing that the time was about the same, Zhou Ding got up and lifted his pants, the belt was too heavy, and he was lifting his pants all the way.

After only ten minutes of rest, the soreness of the feet has not completely disappeared, but no one has complained, the hometown is timid, everyone's mood is a little complicated, the complex reasons are different, but the urgency to return home is exactly the same/.

But after a long walk, they stopped again.

Chen Zhen appeared at the front of the team and said, "A group of people came in front, wearing long plackets and leopard heads on their chests. ”

"The leopard attendant of Yancheng?" Qin Shan was taken aback, Yancheng is far away from here, even if you take a hedgehog car, it will take more than a month to reach Liangcheng, the most important thing is that there can be no trade relations between cities, and if there is no major event, there is no contact with each other, what are the people of Yancheng doing here?

Seeing that Chen Zhen was about to leave again after speaking, Zhou Ding hurriedly stopped him: "After the Slender Wind Lake, it is our territory, don't worry about safety, even if you encounter danger, you can immediately find someone to help, let's go together." ”

Chen Zhen nodded and followed to the back of the group.

After a while, the team appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The leader was a young man of about twenty, handsome in appearance and extraordinary temperament, and he was also wearing a long placket exclusive to the city guards, with a dark green background and a leopard's head embroidered on his chest.

They seemed to be passing by this place, and suddenly found a group of people standing here, led by a young man who was stunned for a moment, and then with a happy expression on his face, he led everyone to walk quickly to this side.

His gaze swirled around Qi Yunxiao, staring at Qi Yunxiao and frowning, then he withdrew his gaze and said to Zhou Ding with a smile: "Yancheng Leopard Servant Lin Jin, it can be regarded as finding you." ”

Most of the city's guards are called "guards", but they are also called squires, clansmen, and soldiers, and there are no strict rules in this regard.

"Looking for us?" Hearing Lin Jin's words, Zhou Ding's first thought was that they went in the wrong direction and accidentally walked to Yancheng, but it was impossible to think about it, if they could reach Yancheng on foot for a month, then there was no place in the world where they couldn't go, and even if they really went wrong, it was impossible for the people of Yancheng to know that they would come.

"yes." Lin Jin smiled and said: "We arrived in Liangcheng a month ago, you haven't come back after the scheduled time has arrived, we have been searching nearby, at least pick you up, I didn't expect to meet here today, it's really a coincidence." ”

Skillful? Chen Zhen frowned slightly, he had seen Lin Jin and them walking very fast before, and they were walking straight to this side, obviously knowing their location, why did it turn into a coincidence?

"That's a coincidence." Zhou Ding said lightly, obviously not believing in the statement of coincidence, Lin Jin is the son of the chairman of the Yancheng Executive Council, this team is definitely the strongest among the leopard attendants, and meeting other leopard attendant teams can be regarded as a coincidence, and when encountering this one, it is a coincidence.

All things big and small in a city are decided by the executive council, because it needs to be managed only a city, and the operation of the city has long been on the right track, so the council has to do not do much, but they have a high status, the president of the council is the highest official of a city, equivalent to the mayor, if a city is regarded as a country, then the president of the council is the prime minister.

The president of the executive council is in charge of government affairs, generally served by representatives of the rich and wealthy families, and the vice president is in charge of defense, generally by the representatives of the common people, that is, the supreme officer of the city guard, and the city guard is also divided into two types, one is the outer guard, which specifically protects the city from the invasion of mutated creatures; One is the internal guard, which is equivalent to the police in the past, and is generally composed of external guards who are older or retired due to disability.

The Lin family is in the Yancheng clan, Lin Jin is the son of the head of the family, and it is already very unusual to appear in Liangcheng, how could it be possible to "meet by chance" by the Slender Wind Lake?

"It really happened." Lin Jin's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said with a smile: "I am mainly responsible for this area of Slender Wind Lake, which was arranged by Vice President Qi, because this side is ...... Ahem, relatively safe. ”

This explanation is quite reasonable, Qi Yunxiao's father Qi Feng definitely didn't want Lin Jin to have an accident near Liangcheng, so he specially arranged for this area, the question is what are these leopard guards searching for? If the wolf guard can return here, it will definitely not be a problem to reach Liangcheng, there is no need to search at all; If you can't even reach Skinny Wind Lake, then you can't find anything by digging three feet into the ground, and there's no need to search.

These questions naturally cannot be asked as soon as they meet, Zhou Ding felt that he should be able to get some answers after returning to Liangcheng, and he also wanted to go back as soon as possible, so he walked in the direction of Liangcheng with the leopard attendant.

The wolf guards still surrounded Qi Yunxiao in the middle, very tightly, Qin Shan walked beside Lin Jin, chatting with Lin Jin without a match, Lin Jin tried to talk to Qi Yunxiao several times without success, always interrupted, and then gave up, and no longer talked to Qin Shan, glanced at the gasoline barrels carried by the two wolf guards, and guessed the purpose of the gasoline barrels.

The gasoline barrel was used for bathing at first, and then one of them was used to hold stones, and Zhou Ding and Qin Shan's trouser belts only contained the most valuable Zhenshi, and even so, they sank badly.
