Chapter 18 Qiaojiazhai

On the bank of the stream, Li Tian was looking down to observe something, and from time to time he lay down and sniffed around.

Li Tian slowly stood up, pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "Strange, how can there be traces of human activity here?" ”

Along the way, no traces of animals were found, and traces of human activity were found by Litian. A trail of apparently human footprints appeared next to the stream.

The footprints are one after the other, and it is not difficult to judge according to the depth of the footprints that these are two people who are carrying water. If these people were also drinking water from the creek, then Charlie and his wife would have been saved.

Although God knows that most of these humans who live in the wild are more cruel and dangerous than wild beasts. But in the current situation, there is no other choice, so I have to bite the bullet.

A few kilometres away, a small and peaceful village sits amidst a dense forest. Smoke curls up from the thatched huts, and it's time for lunch.

The village seems to be quiet and peaceful, but in fact, it hides murderous intentions.

The outside of the village is covered with trench stakes, traps and wooden thorns are everywhere, and around the perimeter of the village is a guardrail built with tree splends, which is more than two meters high, and the top is sharpened. There was also a platform built inside the wooden wall, apparently for the warriors to defend it.

The only wooden door was closed, and there were personnel guarding it. The village was heavily defended by a tall watchtower at each of the four corners of the fence, guarded by men armed with javelins and bows and arrows.

Just a cursory observation, Li Tian realized that these people are not weak, although they are not as good as themselves, but they are much better than Jack and others, I don't know how much smarter.

If you want to storm this place, I'm afraid I can't do it alone. Li Tian would never simply think that the fighting strength of the small village is only these, who knows if there will be masters in the village.

But Charlie's condition doesn't allow for too many choices in the past. Since a forcible offensive will not work, there is only one way to go, peaceful engagement.

To Litian's relief, the people here all had the same complexion and faces as him. It seems that the so-called pro-hometown people are not without the possibility of a peaceful solution.

Li Tian had already made a decision in his heart, even if it could not be resolved peacefully, he would capture a prisoner and rescue Charlie and the others.

Hiding the two of them in a hidden* place, they came to the gate of the village alone. With the appearance of Litian, the nerves of the sentinels suddenly tensed, and a sharp whistle sounded immediately, and a large drum was beaten to the sky.

In an instant, the wall was full of people, all holding javelins and bows and pointing at Litian. The atmosphere is solemn and solemn, and a fight will start at any time.

At this moment, an old man walked up to the city. The man was at least sixty or seventy years old, with a white beard and wrinkled face.

Half of his face appears to have been torn off, and his left eye and ears are gone. There was nothing to cover it up, revealing two holes in the black hole and half of the teeth. Coupled with the bright red and twisted scars, it looks very hideous and ugly.

The timid people only see this face, but they are afraid that they will not have the courage to do it.

The old man stared vigilantly at Litian with his only one eye, and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want to do here?" ”

Li Tian heard this, and his heart was suddenly happy. Because of the leaky mouth of the old man and the accent problem, what he said sounded very difficult. However, this is the mother tongue of Litian.

Since it would be easy to communicate, Litian hurriedly replied: "Old man, I have two friends who are sick and want to ask the old man for help. ”

The old man was obviously also worried about the language, and when he heard that Litian spoke the same language as himself, he was surprised and at the same time happy in his heart. In this sparsely populated forest, it is a rare and miraculous thing to be able to meet people of the same race.

Although his heart was happy, his vigilance never relaxed. The old man interrogated Li Tian, and Li Tian also gave a general account of his own situation. Only then did the old man ask someone to open the door, and sent people and Litian to find Charlie and the others.

Charlie's condition was already very dangerous, with a swollen abdomen like a pregnant woman about to give birth, vomiting and diarrhea. At this time, he had already fallen into a coma, and his weak breathing was like nothing.

The old man asked about the situation, and smiled at the anxious Litian: "Young man, don't worry. It's a bug of water, and it's not hard to heal, but your two friends are going to suffer something. ”

As soon as he heard that the two of them could be healed, he relieved his heart: "Old man, thank you, I don't know what sin they are going to suffer?" ”

The old man smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I have diarrhea for a few days, and it's not life-threatening." It will take a lot of time to fully recover, so you should stay first. ”

Sure enough, as the old man said, Charlie and his wife ate an herb called Lala grass. Afterwards, the diarrhea did not stop, and a lot of small worms were discharged, and suddenly the stomach did not hurt, and the abdominal swelling disappeared.

It's just diarrhea for a few days in a row, and the two of them are very weak and need to recuperate for a while.

During this time, Litian also learned a little about here. This place is called Qiaojiazhai, and there are about three or four hundred people living there, so the people are all surnamed Qiao. It is said that they are the descendants of a group of refugees who escaped during the war, and their ancestors were indeed from the hometown of Litian.

The old man is the patriarch and is in charge of the affairs of the village. Originally, he thought that the old man became the patriarch because of his virtue and age, but he didn't expect him to guess wrong, the old man became the patriarch because of his strength.

Li Tian thought that his strength was slightly inferior to himself, and Qiao Feng, the grandson of Qiao Lao, was the strongest person in the village. Unexpectedly, according to Qiao Feng himself, Qiao Lao is the number one master of Qiaojiazhai.

People who can't even see the depth of the calendar day show that their strength is more than a little bit higher than him.

And there is another hidden story about the scar on his face. In a place that is closer to the depths of the forest than Qiao's village, there is another ethnic group.

They are said to be descendants of the Southern Prairie people. These people are naturally brutal and murderous, attacking other humans everywhere. When they caught young men, they were driven as slaves, and women were used for adultery, and some of them even became food for the beasts, and the old and weak babies were left behind, and the animals were especially fond of eating babies.

A village of the size of Qiaojiazhai is naturally no exception, and it is often attacked by this group of people. The old patriarch's wounds were left in a war of aggression. That battle almost cost the old patriarch's life.

The enemy's strength is much stronger than Qiao's village, but it is not enough to eat them.

So over the years, they have been constantly plundering and harassing, and there have been several times to break through the village. Qiao Feng's sister was abducted after a broken village, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

Qiaojiazhai was very reluctant to defend against the enemy, let alone attack. In order to save his sister, Qiao Feng also went to try a few times alone, but was almost captured alive by the enemy. So until now, I don't know if my sister is dead or alive.

There are still several forces living in this vicinity, and the scale is about the same as Qiaojiazhai.

Knowing the environmental conditions in this vicinity, the mood that had been relaxed all day suddenly became tense again. It seems that this is not a place to stay for a long time, and with Qiao Lao's strength, he can't be preserved, let alone himself.

Ever since the discovery of Litian by the Federation, he has always been considered a special being. The others in the base also regard him as the only superman, and no one thinks that there is an existence in this world that can threaten Litian.

Only he knows that among the people who have grown up and survived in these wild environments, he is just one of them who is too ordinary to be ordinary.

According to his father, in the depths of the forest, survive this more powerful being. It's even so powerful that it's unimaginable.

Because he had seen with his own eyes the corpse of an iron rhinoceros, which had been torn in half by humans. And a creature like an iron rhinoceros, even a weapon as powerful as a depleted uranium bullet, could not leave any marks on his hard skin. The man's horror can be imagined.

During the days when the two of them were recuperating from their injuries, Litian seized the time to make three sets of python armor and learned some survival skills from the people in the village.

Those who have been able to survive in this cruel environment have their own unique and valuable experiences. These experiences are priceless treasures, and this kind of wealth that can be met but not sought can not be let go of every day.

The reason why some people become strong is a process of continuous learning and accumulation of experience.

In addition to these things, the most studied in the past days is the teleportation skill that saved his life. This skill is too perverted, if he is in this state all the time, there will be nothing that can threaten him anymore.

After using this skill last time, it was three days after I was able to sense this ability again. Stating the cooldown time for using this ability, which is three days.

It's a bit of a long time, but it's not a matter of time that makes the calendar most frustrating. It's this skill, which he simply can't actively use. This feeling of having endless wealth that he can't spend is too maddening for him.

He kept recalling every detail of the teleportation at that time.

First of all, he was in a very strange state. In this state, the body and mind are out of his control, and it is an unconscious state. And this teleportation only happens under the instinctive survival response.

The state of unconsciousness, this is not difficult for Litian. Because among the qigong he practiced, there was meditation. This meditative state is a state of unconsciousness, which is described in ancient yoga as sleeping without dreams.

But here's the problem. Since it is unconscious, how can there be a teleportation mind? This is clearly contradictory.

In the unconscious state, how to generate the will to teleport, this is the crux of the problem. Litian understands that everything is possible only if this problem is solved.

But this is a dead knot, and it doesn't logically work at all. That's what has been bothering him all this time. And outsiders can't help this matter, this kind of experience is only experienced by himself, so he can only rely on himself to solve this kind of problem.

As time passed, Charlie's body recovered almost, and Litian had begun to prepare for the trip.
