Twenty-seventh, is this the three-light policy?

A group of heavily armed soldiers, huddled in several beautifully decorated carriages, slowly drove down the bumpy and bumpy roads of Provence.

On the side of the road, delicate flowers have bloomed, and green grass is thriving. The breeze of the Mediterranean blows through the wilderness, and the whispers of the sassy are heartbreakingly beautiful. Look up. The sky is so blue and clear, and the air with the fragrance of flowers and plants, like fresh chilled lemonade, has been pouring into the lungs, making people feel like a spring flowing through the deepest part of their hearts, and they can't help but want to sing loudly.

This is Provence, the most petty bourgeois romantic place in France. The Mediterranean sun is golden, and the lavender fields are heavenly. The canyon and the ancient castle are scattered among them, which is like a picture scroll and beautiful like poetry. Even the brutal Hundred Years' War between Britain and France never affected here.

So, just a stone's throw away from the blazing sky and the galloping iron horses, the countryside of Provence is still peaceful and tranquil.

However, from the spring of 1348, the Death Knight, known as the Black Death, instigated the Gray Horse to break into this romantic and tender paradise.

Wherever the terrible plague passed, countless cities and villages were wiped out - in just two or three months, the whole of Provence was reduced to a grim ruin of death. Montpellier, Narpong, Toulon...... Idyllic towns have all fallen to an astonishing degree. Millions of corpses were piled up in cities, on roads and in fields, filling the spring breeze through the wheat fields with a terrible stench.

The helpless people panicked, they had never seen death on this scale. Even in a nightmare, such a situation is unimaginable.

During the devastation of the Black Death, most of the villages of Provence were almost completely wiped out. Cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens ran around in the fields. It's like a pack of wild animals. But even they could not resist the obscenity of the Black Death. Everywhere, you can see the carcasses of many animals rotting and smelling in the wilderness......

In the sky above every village where there was no smoke to be seen, flocks of crows lingered for a long time, waiting for a sumptuous feast: these carrivorous birds spread their wings and hovered in the sky, swooping down with a cold snort, and eagerly falling on the freshly dead meat, stretching out their long bare necks and sharp beaks, and dragging and tearing aggressively, snatching the tenderest and delicious parts of the carcass.

Even when a large group of men and horses sailed into the village, they did not disturb the crows' meals, which had feasted on all kinds of corpses for months, and had become fearless of humans anymore...... What's more, when the "angels" flapped their wings and flew over the village, they were actually mistaken by these blindless flat-haired beasts for the same kind of people who came to grab food, and they croaked and attacked them in groups for a while

“…… Go and get out of here, be careful that I make you into a crow pot" Wang Qiu roared viciously as he drove the crows away.

“…… Raven pot? These crows that have just eaten human flesh, do you dare to put them in your mouth? Ma Tong immediately laughed teasingly.

-- Everywhere in the village, there were countless corpses of different old and new, and after driving away the crows and wild dogs that were entrenched on them, the corpses that had been torn and gnawed were revealed underneath. Seeing this tragic scene, Knight Rao is Levi boasted that he had seen the great battle array of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, and he couldn't help but change his face. However, Wang Qiu's reaction was quite calm-in the zombie apocalypse, they had seen many similar scenes

In the twilight of dusk, after some inspection, they could soon confirm that there were no living people left in the village

If it had been a normal marching expedition, this group of medieval travelers would have settled into the village and occupied these houses and camped. But now this is a special situation...... After hastily searching all parts of the village and taking some things indiscriminately, the people immediately escaped as quickly as possible, and set up camp upwind away from the village, lest they be infected with some filthy evil thing. As for the countermeasures for this uninhabited village......

“…… It is estimated that no one will live in this place in the next ten years, so let's set it on fire, so that we can eliminate a source of pollution."

Wang Qiu touched his chin and announced. And so, a meteor shower fell from the sky, turning the dead village to ashes in the flames.

And there are no less than twenty abandoned villages like this that have been set on fire by them along the way......

Of course, despite the terrible outbreak of the Black Death in the Provençal countryside, one of the best in Europe, some farmers survived, at least for the time being. But these farmers are not so much alive as they are walking dead.

-- Watching their relatives and friends fall one by one, they also despair that their time of death has come, and they are no longer willing to work hard, eat whatever they get, and survive day by day. No matter how much effort they spent on the countryside and cattle and sheep in the past, and how many expectations they placed on them, they can no longer take care of them. Cows, donkeys, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and dogs, man's loyal companions, left their pens and ran around the fields because they were left untended. The vegetable crops in the fields were due to be harvested in the morning, but no one came to ask about them.

However, when the "angels" descended and brought them spells to ward off illness and hope of survival, these decadent creatures seemed to be a different person in an instant, and became energetic...... However, although the plague on their bodies can be cured, the dead relatives, friends, wives and children cannot be resurrected, and the broken old life cannot be returned...... As a result, many people who had lost their families saw through the red dust and realized that they resolutely burned down their houses and volunteered to join this great team of missions, following the service of "angels" and "saints".

As a result, after leaving Marseille for dozens of kilometers, Levi's team swelled from dozens to 500 people...... Fortunately, the travelers did not need to bear the rations of these people, because in the rich fields of Provence, there were ownerless barns and cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks everywhere, and the legations could carry out "self-help" supplies everywhere, taking whatever they wanted. There was even a "windfall"......

“…… Scaring such a chicken can sell for more than 15,000 yen? Although this chicken is quite fat, the price is too exaggerated."

――When Doraemon accidentally threw a chicken he caught into the [automatic pawn machine], he was immediately blinded by the large denomination bills spit out of the machine, "...... I remember that in the city near Nobi's house, it seems that chicken thighs are only sold for 800 yen per kilogram......"

“…… It's normal, how can the 40-day-old feed chicken we ate at that time be compared with this kind of pure natural, pollution-free, hormone-free green food chicken? Not to mention that it's still a gelding" Professor Guo, who has extensive social experience, thinks that this price is normal.

“…… Not to mention Japan, where your agricultural products are expensive, even in China, the kind of free-range steers raised by farmers can be sold for 80 yuan a catty in the vegetable market, and a steer costs 600 yuan to huàn into yen, which naturally costs tens of thousands, and it is often priceless...... Hey, don't pawn all these chickens and keep a few of them for the night to stew."

-- The so-called castration is a time-honored method of saving feed for quick fattening: after castration, the rooster no longer spends the precious feed and energy in his stomach on vain dressing, singing, and fighting. Therefore, the castrated chickens grow faster and fatter, and the rooster is already larger than the hen, and after castration, it gains weight again, and the meat is naturally more delicate. In the Middle Ages, Europeans generally used steers as a delicacy. In modern society, the free-range "native chickens" of the farmers are already very expensive, and the labor cost of castration for the rooster is even more high......

In addition to the chickens, ducks and geese raised in the farms everywhere, the cattle and sheep that have lost their owners and wander around, and even the vegetables growing in the ground, because they are also pure natural and pollution-free green food, they are actually sold at a very good price in the [automatic pawn machine] - others may not be guaranteed, but the meat of these animals must not have hormones such as clenbuterol, and they have never eaten feed, and the absolutely natural free-range vegetables have never been stained with chemical fertilizers, let alone pesticides, and they are pure natural from beginning to end, can this sell at a high price? Even modern green food can be grown and raised in the same way regardless of the cost, but the ancient natural environment with no chemical pollution of soil, water and air can be obtained for much money.

Therefore, the members of the mission originally took the sheep from the abandoned village, just to relieve the problem of food during the journey. But as the poor and crazy machine cat showed up on this road to make money, the mission of the knight of Levi completely became a bandit group of dead people's wealth, and the chickens, ducks, cattle and horses along the way were not spared...... Fortunately, there are enough manpower at the moment, and there is no bitterness for the Lord to fight with these robbers (basically they have been plagued to death), so they have not caused any big trouble.

Although we didn't find much gold and silver coins, the pawned cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and ownerless horses had been exchanged for nearly 300 million yen, which made the cat jump up and down with excitement and feel a windfall.

But Wang Qiu couldn't help but mutter, "...... How does this feel like a devil entering the village to sweep away? Kill, burn, and rob all along the way...... Although we didn't kill these people, they are all dead......"

“…… Three-light policy? It's waste utilization," Professor Guo retorted, "and no one will play tunnel warfare and mine warfare with us......"

Then, before he could finish his words, he saw the cat running out of a barn in a panic and let out a heart-rending cry:

“…… Wow wow there are rats ahhh
