The rain in the mountains was still falling, and the two sisters, who had just met in the cave, were happily getting along, and from time to time there was a whispered laughter from the two by the fire.

"You found this cave?" Xiaoxue had already noticed that the cave had been deliberately cleaned, and there were some daily necessities in the corner.

"Xiao Rong and I stumbled upon it while playing in this area. Xiao Qi touched the head of the elephant tiger and leopard pet beside him and said: "Xiao Rong is my only playmate here, but Xiao Rong can't be discovered by the people in the village, so we have often played far away from the village, since we found this place, we have made this a secret for the two of us, every few days, we come here to play together for a while." ”

"Doesn't Xiao Rong have any relatives of his own?" After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xue asked cautiously.

Years of military career and the habit of living alone for a long time remind Xiaoxue, don't look at Xiaorong is still only a child, from Xiaorong's body, Xiaoxue smelled a hint of danger, this Xiaorong is not just a pet, not to mention, a creature that is still in its infancy can survive in such a dangerous mountain, without a certain ability to protect itself, it is a joke.

Sure enough, Xiao Qi's next explanation broke the doubts in Xiao Xue's heart: "What Sister Xue'er doesn't know, Xiao Rong is actually a rock lynx, and the place where we are is at the junction of humans and rock lynx, out of the mountain is the territory of humans, and inside the mountain is the world of the rock lynx clan." ”

After a pause, Xiao Qi continued: "Legend has it that many years ago, there was a war between the rock lynx and humans, many people died on both sides, and the rock lynx tribe was later defeated, so they retreated to the mountains, and the human beings had sent troops into the mountains to pursue, who knew that they were also defeated, and in the end, neither side could help each other, so they made an unwritten agreement, with this mountain as the boundary, humans and the rock lynx tribe did not invade each other, and each side was based on one side, and the Lifang country established by the human race was formed now, and the Guping Mountain Range guarded by the rock lynx tribe. So, as long as you don't cross the line, it's generally safe, and the hunters in our village often hunt in this mountain, and we haven't heard of any accidents. ”

"What if I get lost in the mountains?" Thinking of the unknown creatures behind her, Xiaoxue finally understood why they were chasing after her.

"That's not a good idea. Xiao Qi said very seriously: "The locals are all old hunters, and they go up to the mountains to hunt all year round, and this situation will not occur, if the outsiders really get lost in the mountains, the possibility of coming out is too small." Sister, you don't know, the Rock Lynx is a very xenophobic and stubborn race, unless there are special circumstances, the Rock Lynx will not come into contact with outside things, and the other creatures who strayed into the territory of the Rock Lynx have never heard of coming back alive!"

"Then what's the matter with this Xiao Rong? He ran out to play at such a young age, and there were no adult Rock Lynx people to follow?" Xiao Xue said as she looked at Xiao Rong who was half asleep.

"It's a special example!" Speaking of Xiao Rong, Xiao Qi laughed: "The juvenile period of the rock lynx clan is similar to that of ordinary wild animals, only an instinctive ethnic language, and the time is also long, according to common sense, like Xiao Rong This situation is not allowed to come out, but this guy is not honest, he ran out when he was only as big as a kitten, and he got lost, if I hadn't met it, maybe it would have been caught back as a kitten." ”

"Oh, that's the case!" Listening to Xiao Qi's words, Xiao Xue nodded, but from her heart, Xiao Xue always felt that there was something missing in Xiao Qi's words, but these things should have nothing to do with her, so Xiao Xue didn't think too much about it.

"Sister Xue'er, what is the mirror in your hand made of, so exquisite, so beautiful!" Xiao Qi had long been attracted by the mirror in Xiao Xue's hand, and finally found an opportunity, so he naturally wanted to ask.

In fact, the mirror is very ordinary, this is still Xiaoxue bought in the market when she was on the earth, and she bought several faces at that time, Xiaoshuang and others have one, but the appearance and color are slightly different, and the price is cheap, but on this planet, it is a very rare thing, it is estimated that if there is an auction, not to mention the priceless price, it will be almost the same.

"Do you like it? Xiaoxue, who was in a trance, came back to her senses, put the mirror in her hand into Xiao Qi's hand, and at the same time opened her hand to suck the umbrella placed at the entrance of the cave, put it away and handed it to Xiao Qi: "And this, let's give it to you together, it will block the rain on rainy days, and you can also block the sun on the sky when you see it."

This umbrella is more ordinary, it is a straight-handled automatic umbrella with a hook on the handle, not even a folding umbrella, the advantage is that it is larger, the skeleton looks stronger, and girls don't like a single color, so Xiaoxue's umbrella is a flower, and there is no other attraction in the other, also because it is not a product of this planet, so it is a strange commodity to live in.

"Is this what the adults have said about umbrellas? I heard that only ladies from high-ranking families can use it, and it is still made of paper and oilcloth, usually the same color, and it has a beautiful picture like this one. This umbrella looks so beautiful, and it can be put away?and it doesn't take up space, it's amazing!" Maybe it was too happy, Xiao Qi forgot to thank him after taking the umbrella, but kept chattering, and even Xiao Rong, who seemed to be about to fall asleep, was woken up, and opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Qi dissatisfied.

The two of them chatted casually for a while, Xiao Qi's body was weak, and he gradually became sleepy: "Sister Xue'er, I want to sleep for a while, you can also take a rest, this rain is sometimes three or five days at a time, stop early! When the rain stops, I will take you out of the mountain and go around our village." ”

Listening to Xiao Qi's tone, Xiao Xue nodded with a smile in agreement, that little bit of caution naturally can't hide Xiao Xue's eyes, I'm afraid it won't just be as simple as turning around at that time!

The capital of the Cangran Kingdom - Chutian City!

According to the length of the earth, the outer city wall of Chutian City is 10,000 meters long and nearly 20 meters high, and there are watchtowers five meters higher than the city wall every 100 meters, which can not only observe the enemy's situation, but also conduct long-range shooting.

The whole city wall is trapezoidal and narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the outer side of the wall base is vertically established, the thickness is about 15 meters, and there are countless ramps on the inner side, which can be used to transport various materials to the city wall, as well as the up and down traffic of personnel.

The top floor is about ten meters wide, wide and flat, at the entrance, except for the warriors guarding the city, no one is allowed to approach, let alone climb the city wall, except for the warriors who have been stationed for many years, even the people who have lived in Chutian City for many years do not know the situation on the city wall.

Every 100 meters on the city wall, there are material reserves, and in the event of a war, the contents of these warehouses will provide war supplies as soon as possible. On the outside, there are battlements more than one meter high, more than one meter wide, and half a meter thick, which can not only avoid attacks outside the city wall, but also clearly see the movement outside the city wall.

The city wall is poured and piled up with a cross-section of one meter square, the stone is a specialty of this planet, the cross-section is smooth, the stone is super hard, it is said that it takes an adult to complete the work of one day and a night just polishing a piece of stone, not to mention the amount of work used in the mining and processing of this stone, so the quality of the city wall is absolutely solid, not to mention the crack of the wall with a knife inserted into it, even if you want to nail it inside, you have to choke it with a hammer for two days.

There is a moat that can't see the end ten meters away from the periphery of the city wall, the width is twenty meters, and the depth is said to be more than ten meters, I don't know where the living water is connected, with a very strong impact whirlpool, anyway, no matter what falls into it, don't want to salvage it, under normal circumstances, if you want to cross the moat, you can only pass through the suspension bridge corresponding to each city gate, and other places, except for flying, ordinary people have no way.

Different from the general city, the city wall of Chutian City is octagonal, the corner is arc-shaped, and the top of the city wall has a prominent monitoring area, so that the patrol of the city wall has no dead ends, the east, west, south, and north are the main four sides, there are five large and small city gates, and the other four directions are supplemented, and there are three small city gates.

On weekdays, two small city gates are opened in the direction of the main city gate, and a city gate is opened in the direction of the auxiliary city gate, which provides convenience for ordinary farmers and civilians to enter and exit, and there are nearly 100 soldiers guarding each city gate to maintain law and order in front of the city gate.

"Chutian-Hong Demen! Good guy, this is to show his courage, or do you think that everyone else is blind, and you can see it clearly from such a distance, just writing these words will take a lot of work!" Qu Feng, who was riding on the horse, pouted his lips disdainfully: "What kind of effort do you have to be poor, there is no city in the world that cannot be attacked, no matter how strong it is, there will be times when it collapses, it is not practical, and it will cost the people and money!"

"Brother, you're so right!" Liu Wuyi said with deep sympathy: "If that's the case, how much money should be saved!

"Those who know me, big brother too!alas!" Qu Feng sighed: "It's a pity it's not mine, it's really a waste!"

It's no wonder that Liu Wuyi and the others are still quite far from the city gate, and it will take a while to ride a horse, but it is so far away, Liu Wuyi and the others' eyes are also better, and a few big characters on the city gate can still be seen clearly, how big do you think this word must be!

"Get out, you wealth fans, don't you hurry up and enter the city, do you have to wait until it gets dark to go in!" Hearing these two people gossiping, Xiaoshuang couldn't stand it anymore, and let them continue like this, maybe these two guys will really go to fight Chu Tiancheng's idea in a while, maybe they will tear down the stones on the city wall and study it, and discuss whether they can sell it for a good price.

"Why do you want to say a few of them? Like me, I haven't said a word. Chen Nianyi was a little aggrieved, it seemed that Xiaoshuang really used some inappropriate words.

"Come on!" Fang Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, said, "You didn't speak, but don't think I didn't see you drooling!"

"You are talking nonsense, where am I drooling?" said this, Chen Nianyi still subconsciously touched his mouth, and as a result, he really didn't drool, but this also exposed Chen Nianyi's thoughts.

"My heart is empty, I dare to say that I am not a fan of money!" classmate Fang Yan simply educated Chen Nianyi speechless, drenched all over his body, and hid his face in extreme grief, and a group of people happily followed behind Chen Nianyi and rushed towards the city gate.
