011, three masters
A moment later.
At dusk, the sky was full of red burning clouds, the golden sunlight was shining, the door of the house was opened, Lu Zheng walked out of the small courtyard slowly with a cane made of wooden sticks and a bandage on his forehead to cover the alienated parts.
At the entrance of the courtyard is a dirt road, and not far away, there are small courtyards of earthen houses surrounded by low fence walls, and low wooden houses, which are haphazardly patched together into large and dilapidated residential areas.
As far as the eye can see, all the buildings are dilapidated, and there are hardly a few buildings above the second floor, only at the edge of the walled city, you can faintly see the walls and watchtower towers that are slightly higher than the dwellings.
"Finally out......"
This is the first time he has seen the walled city with his own eyes since he crossed over, Lu Zheng took a deep breath, and felt a little like a world away.
"Brother Lu, your health is not well yet, how about we take a walk outside the courtyard?"
The medicine woman had already left after changing the medicine, Xu Yong followed behind, Lu Zheng shook his head and said:
"It's okay, I want to walk more, and I'll come back when I'm tired. ”
With that, he walked on crutches along the dirt road in the direction of the night watch playground in his memory.
Xu Yong had no choice but to follow and watch carefully.
At this moment, it is sunset, and many villagers on the road facing the loess with their backs to the sky have finished their day's work, carrying kitchen utensils in twos and threes, coming back from the fields outside the walled city, like ants returning home.
Lu Zheng glanced over and found that these farmers were numb, most of them were yellow and thin, and their bodies were thin, obviously suffering from long-term malnutrition.
All the fields reclaimed around the village are actually the private property of the owner of the village, and the people in the village want to farm, they must pay a considerable amount of harvest as rent, and the vast majority of the villagers are busy for a year, and it is not easy to barely let a few families not go hungry, and they basically can't accumulate much surplus grain in their hands.
Moreover, this is still a normal harvest time, once there are natural disasters such as drought, heavy rain, hail, etc., the life of the villagers will be even more difficult, because the rent is forced to death and starvation is not a few.
Evil spirits harm people, wild beasts eat people, and people eat people.
"Evil feudal landlords......"
As a modern person, Lu Zheng sighed in his heart when he saw these exhausted villagers.
However, Lu Zheng sighed in his heart here, but the farmers and peasant women who passed by in twos and threes also found him and Xu Yong coming out of the courtyard. These people were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stopped with obvious fear, as if they had seen some jackal beast.
Lu Zheng didn't notice this, he continued to move forward little by little with a cane, and the farmers who returned home and the villagers in the village noticed him one after another, and then they all cast their inexplicable gazes.
“...... That's Lu Ping of the Night Patrol? Why did he come out like this, didn't he hear that he was seriously injured?"
"I heard Hu Kui, who is also on the night watch, say that this Lu Ping is polluted by evil spirits, and it seems that another eye has grown on his forehead, is this true!?"
"It should be true, you see, he still has a bandage on his head, it should be to cover it, it's better to stay away. ”
"It's so scary, he's polluted by evil spirits, so aren't we in danger at night? What if he goes crazy and harms people?"
“...... Don't worry, I inquired, he was driven to the outer village by the three masters. ”
"That's good, that's good......"
"Alas, I also know Lu boy, but it's a pity ......"
As Lu Zheng walked, strange eyes were projected across the dirt road and the low wall, accompanied by a sound of talking.
Xu Yong on the side also felt that the discussion of the surrounding villagers did not look like a good thing, and his face was not very good:
"Brother Lu, don't pay attention to these guys!"
Lu Zheng shook his head, and didn't go to his heart, but he just felt that these villagers were stupid and ridiculous.
In the feudal era, the common people didn't know a few big characters, and they were not wise. Although the original owner can be regarded as sacrificing to defend the walled city, for them, the evil is a terrible existence that makes people smell and change, and Lu Zheng, who is alienated by the blood of the evil spirit, is regarded as an alien by most of the villagers, feared, disgusted, rather than grateful.
Don't you see, even if the nine-year compulsory education has been popularized for a long time in later generations, even if a good person and good deed are reported, there will always be steel spirits who will jump out and blame it, let alone this ignorant and backward walled city?
Seeing that Lu Zheng really didn't seem to care, Xu Yong relaxed slightly, he glanced around and said:
"Brother Lu, forget it, or I'll send you back. ”
The villagers pointed and pointed, Lu Zheng only thought they were farting, he shook his head and said:
"I walked a few steps, walked to the side of the lodge, and then went back. ”
Because the night patrol team has to practice during the day, the place where Lu Zheng recuperates from his injuries is set outside, but it is not far from the playground of the night patrol team, Lu Zheng ignored the eyes and whispers from all directions, and continued to walk forward calmly.
After a while, the sound of shouting and shouting came along the wind, and Lu Zheng, who was on crutches, walked one or two hundred meters, and came to an empty playground surrounded by spiked wooden stakes, and looked inside.
In sight was a playground the size of half a football field and paved with sand and gravel, and dozens of men were fighting shirtless on the playground, making it dusty and chaotic.
Among them, Lu Zheng also caught a glimpse of Xu Hu, as well as several other deputy captains.
It was rare to see such a scene with his own eyes, so Lu Zheng watched it with interest through the spiked wooden stakes.
Catch-and-fight like this is also often experienced in the memory of the original owner. After all, the monsters that are different from the evil possession are often fast, invulnerable, and very difficult to deal with, and if they don't have enough courage and actual combat experience, they are afraid that they will be killed by them, so in the night patrol, actual combat can be said to be more important than martial arts cultivation.
And what Lu Zheng is thinking about at the moment is also this problem.
The world is weird, whether it is for him to enter the mountains in the future, or to have the ability to protect himself when facing the terrifying evil again, force is the most important thing, and he must also find a way to exercise his actual combat ability, not on paper.
"You two, what are you doing?"
That is, when Lu Zheng watched the drills of the men on the playground and the thoughts in his mind turned, a cold low drink suddenly came from behind him, which made him and Xu Yong turn around violently.
I saw that not far behind me, a gloomy man with a gloomy face, a powerful force, and a short robe wearing tiger skin stood with his hands in his hands, staring at them coldly.
Next to him, there was a pampered young man in a silk robe, who looked like a son's brother, and several retinue-like characters.
Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Because he immediately recognized the Yin Owl man who was the leader, it was the third master of the White Dragon Mountain Walled City who had planned to expel him before, Wei Tiejun!
