The town where Zhou Shu followed the group for several hours was called 'Baituchang Town', which used to be the execution ground of Haiyuan City and the largest execution site in the Beihai region.

He walked all the way, leaning on rabbit-like ears, and heard something about the town from the chatter of some of the people in the group. The refugees seem to have taken the history of the town as a talking point, and everyone seems to know something about it.

The execution ground is a place of mass murder of human beings, and the death of humans attracts scavenging animals, such as rats. The death of a large number of humans will lead to an increase in the number of such animals. When these animals are numerous, they naturally want to spread diseases and endanger the safety of a wide area.

In order to avoid this, an execution ground was set up outside the city of Haiyuan more than a hundred years ago to concentrate on the treatment of the dead, so that their bodies after death would not become a hotbed of plague and would not be as dangerous as the Beihai region during their lifetime.

A hundred years ago, an overseas island nation had been harassing the North Sea coast of the White Moon Country, which could be regarded as a military confrontation. At that time, Beihai didn't pay attention to the small country's aggression at first, thinking that they just ran out of food to eat in winter, and it would be good to grab some. After all, on cold islands in winter, it is normal to lack food. At that time, the Beihai region had a close relationship with the royal family, trade was free, and cheap grain was constantly transported from the rich areas of the plains, which was not very valuable.

Unfortunately, what the small country asked for was not food and money, but the same protection in the North Sea.

This protection is secured in a large shrine northwest of Kaiwon Castle. It was a temple towering over the wasteland, built to protect the treasure, but it was actually just a sword.

For Beihai, you can give food if you want it, and you can endure it if you knock on the border and hurt people. War is a cruel thing, and the Duke of Beihai at that time had the mentality that if he could, he would not fight. There was no intention of sending troops to the sea to crusade at all, just to let a few legions stand guard on the long coastline of the North Sea.

It is a pity that such absent-minded fortifications were breached by enemy forces from overseas. The enemy broke through all the checkpoints within two days. Kill all the way from the sea to the Sword Protector Temple.

At that time, the Sword Protector Temple was not only a place to protect the treasure, but also a training place for warriors in the Beihai region. Due to its proximity to the core city of Haewon Castle. There are also two elite legions stationed in the Sword Guard Temple, which is really the most powerful place in the North Sea.

If the island nation sends an army to confront the Sword Protector Temple, it is estimated that it will be destroyed in minutes. At that time, Beihai had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and it was not much weaker than the border pass bordering the forest country. Again, it's a pity that they sent out just some thieves to steal the sword.

However, it is not so easy to steal in a place like the Sword Guardian Temple, although the island nation is really successful, but it also pays the price of the lives of several thieves.

What happened after that proves it. There is no good end for him. The island nation that got the sword took advantage of this treasure that I don't know how strong it was, and began to attack the North Sea region, starting a long military invasion in the true sense of the word. The result was very boring, how strong the sword was was not very obvious in the war, and the island country was defeated. After decades of fighting, the so-called final general offensive they organized was completely annihilated.

This war was fought for a long time, and in order to deal with the captured soldiers, the Beihai region did not choose to treat the soldiers of the Forest Country as usual, and sent them to the mines and coal kilns as hard labor and slaves, but directly chose to kill. Establishment of execution grounds. It's used against these people.

The last public execution in Hundred Slaughterhouses was fifty years ago, at the end of the war, and it was also the time when the Calamity Mages attacked the White Moon Kingdom.

In the final battle. The island team that used the mysterious sword of Beihai died a miserable death, and was defeated by Beihai in a completely victorious posture during the landing battle. However, in the end, the sword was never found, and its whereabouts were unknown.

The final work of the execution site lasted for several months, and all the captured soldiers were dragged to the execution ground for centralized processing, and the bodies buried in the ground were said to have stained the ground of the execution site red, and even the grass that grew was slightly red.

Due to the perennial wars in Beihai, the strength has been greatly damaged, and the number of warriors has decreased very much. The Sword Protector Temple lost its object of protection, and ended its historical mission after the war. The temple was scattered and the buildings were in ruins. In a certain year, he accidentally caught fire and burned it.

Some of the descendants of the old soldiers and warriors who remained around the temple passed through a generation. In the end, a village was formed, and gradually developed into a while, which is now the town of Baituchang.

The scale of the town is not large, and there are no lords and nobles among them, all of them are ordinary Baiyue nationals, ordinary Beihai people. They had gathered together for one purpose, to recover the sword that had been lost in the Temple of Swordguards, even if they didn't even know exactly what the sword looked like.

It is said that the people of Hundred Slaughterhouses are very unfriendly and have a sense of violence. Along the way, Zhou Shu not only heard a little about the origin history of the town, but also heard about some bad deeds of the townspeople here. As residents of Haiyuan City, the people in the team did not suffer much from the scourge of these people, but many of the travelers and merchants around here were saddened by this group. It seems that there has been a lot of money here recently, and some townspeople have gathered to become bandits.

Zhou Shu swept the neighborhood with his summoning book, there were no particularly powerful martial artists, but there were more than a dozen entry-level guys there.

There are more than a dozen warriors in a town, and this kind of thing is quite powerful. Generally speaking, such a thing will be concentrated in the army, and the thinking of learning to sell literature and martial arts and selling the emperor's family is also common in the White Moon Kingdom. These dozen or so warriors who could be petty non-commissioned officers in the army gathered in the town, and it was difficult for Zhou Shu to think that they had stayed here spontaneously, and there was not necessarily no possibility of official arrangements nearby. However, he had heard about the origin of the town, and from the story, it was more likely that these people were ordinary townspeople.

The man at the front of the line finally stopped in front of the town, allowing the sparse group to slowly assemble behind him. There are more than 50 people in this group, and the town is very small, at most about 500 people, but it is no problem to accommodate 50 people to rest. It was still dark, and it was still a long way from the morning, even though it was six hours of travel. And the North Sea sun comes out later this season.

The girl who rode to the town of Hundred Slaughterhouses first was now miserable, and the calf bones of both legs were broken, for the simple reason that she had broken her legs. The townsfolk were upset by her alarmist words. Whether what she said was true or not, it was a fact that she made people feel uncomfortable. So it's what it is.

The young women of the fleeing party were not the leaders, but the organizers of the escape. Seeing that his family was kind enough to report the situation to the townspeople, but they encountered such a great disaster, several elderly men in the party and her, the leader, stood up together to try to get justice for the girl.

Zhou Shu pouted and watched from the side, in his opinion, this group of people may not even be able to enter the town, how can it be fair.

He was now a man who had seen the world, and he knew very well how xenophobic this kind of town was. Especially on such a small scale. The smaller you are, the more you don't like outsiders, which is not enough for economic processes. These people have obviously not yet understood the truth that 'outsiders' equals 'money'.

Now instead of inviting the team into the town, the group threw out the woman who appeared to be injured, and the meaning of the townspeople was already obvious.

"Sorry, you're not welcome. ”

An old man in the town yawned and said this with his nostrils turned upward, as if he had just been woken up.

The young man from the town who had just received the group shrugged his shoulders and retreated into his own group.

I'll just say it. Zhou Shu shook his head at the end of the line, feeling sad for his guess. He watched the girl with her broken leg being thrown to the ground by the townspeople, and the anger in his heart was a little big. This is also a bit unreasonable.

He also knew that it was the town's side that was at a loss now. The person who came to report the news was beaten as a bad person and became disabled, so he expressed himself like this. The more you lose, the more arrogant you are, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. Or rather, the norm.

The ponytail girl didn't seem to have any relatives in the group, and she was rudely carried out of the town by two townsfolk and thrown at the entrance of the town, in front of the group. The only person who seemed to be worried about her injuries was the young woman who had spoken to her before, and she was the only one who stepped out of the line and walked up to the girl.

Others seemed frightened by the brutal scene. They don't understand why people on their side should be so violently reminded of the prophecy of the Holy Maiden.

"Hurry up and carry this woman away. "I don't know who made that statement in the town of Hundred Slaughterhouses. Soon he was echoed by his companions. "Yes, you should hurry up. We don't welcome you babbling people. ”

At this moment, the fleeing team and dozens of Qingzhuang in the town of Baituchang gathered at the entrance of the town. It looks like you're going to fight in a group. Zhou Shu, who has a lot of experience in fighting, knows very well that this fight will definitely not be able to fight, at least if he doesn't show up, this group will definitely leave with the poor girl with her broken leg in disgrace.

They don't have any money to fight the townspeople. The people in the town carried farm tools like hoes, as if they wanted to find fault, and almost every man in the fleeing party had a sword by his side. But that still won't change the situation. The girl who was injured first had no relatives, at least no relatives who cared about her, and only the leader of the fleeing team stood up and worried about her. If she has parents in the team, her parents have three or two friends, so that they can form a small circle to defend her rights and interests, which now seems impossible.

As Zhou Shu expected, the young woman who led the team stared at the townspeople of Hundred Slaughterhouses with an angry face, her teeth crunched, and she said to them, "Since we are not welcome here, then we will leave." ”

As soon as these words came out, a wave of protests erupted in the ranks.

"How can this be, Miss Lan was injured like this, is that it?"

"How can Miss Cai do this, seek justice for Miss Lan. ”

"I'm tired of walking, didn't I say I can rest when I get to town? Why do you have to go now?"

Similar discussions erupted in the ranks, TOEFL, Zhou Shu knew from the mouths of these people that the injured woman was called Blue, and the other name was Cai.

Zhou Shu was very sympathetic to the woman's pitiful experience, but it was not enough for him to help. It's not that he doesn't have that extra love now, but he doesn't want to show his face, after all, he is a foreigner, and it is very troublesome to help in this generally xenophobic Beihai region.

The protests that erupted in the ranks were just petty complaints, and the girl named Cai listened to them in her ears. I couldn't help but grit my teeth, it seemed that this was her habitual action, and she would do it when she was angry.

She ignored the voices. Ask someone to lend the carriage and let the injured blue lie down first.

"Please. Can anyone empty the contents of the carriage and give Miss Lan a ride. ”

Her remarks were not answered, and all eyes were on the families with carriages in the procession. These carriages were horse-drawn carts, and they were piled high with the belongings of the refugees, and each cart was piled high to the limit of the horse's load. You must know that the horses of the White Moon Country are larger than ordinary European horses, and they are also stronger and more powerful, and most of the things on the cart will inevitably be lost if they are unloaded. It is impossible for people to take them all away.

Even Zhou Shu felt that the words of the woman named Cai were a bit difficult to say. If he were himself, he probably wouldn't have emptied the cart, and of course he knew that he was not a compassionate person.

Those families with carts were stared at by the rest of the team for a while, but two families let out cruel words, "Our things can't be emptied, there are too many, and everything is very valuable." ”

The other two seemed unable to say such a desperate word, and those in the team who had nothing to do with themselves began to persuade them.

'Be kind enough to help Blue. ’

'yes, that's a human life. ’

'If you don't have a car. She won't be able to keep up with the team and will be killed by the dragon. ’

This is God's test, throwing away the contents of the car and loading it on the blue. God will forgive you your sins. ’

Zhou Shu was watching the play on the side, he wanted to see how this matter would end in the end, and whether anyone would come out to help. Just as his eyes were turning around, looking back and forth at the embarrassed expressions of the two family members, one accidentally swept his super eyesight to Cai's face, and saw the corner of this woman's strange mouth raised, looking terrifying.

"I'll rely on ......" Zhou Shu was startled by this gloomy smile, and almost screamed. Just when he wondered why this woman was showing such an expression at this time. Cai spoke again.

"If you don't have a car, you can't go. Or maybe not. People who have cars sell the contents of their cars in this town, at least to reduce some losses. Mr. Ludlander. Most of the goods in your car are leathers, right? Can you please help?"

The man named Ludlander was stabbed all over his body by the sight of the people in an instant, and he stared at the Cai who proposed the building with an unwilling expression.

Zhou Shu didn't understand what the woman's sinister smile was about, but after seeing Ludland's face, he understood it. When there was a complaint in the team just now, he was the loudest one, asking Miss Cai why she didn't help Miss Lan get justice but ran away in disgrace.

Now the situation is clear, the woman named Cai pointed the finger at Mr. Ludland, who had just rebuked her, and it was a small revenge on him.

The people of Hundred Slaughterhouses were waiting impatiently for the fleeing group to leave, and then they would go home and sleep. Hearing that the gang was going to trade leather goods with his town, the owner of the grocery store in the town stood up and laughed, "If you want to sell something?" Okay, whatever you want to sell, we will buy it for one-tenth of the original price, I promise." ”

It was evident that the man did not like the fugitives who disturbed his sleep, and was making things difficult within his means.

Hearing this, the man named Lutland was even more reluctant to sell. Zhou Shu watched from the sidelines, thinking that this guy should be a businessman, and that person quickly showed his true colors as a businessman, cheeky and broken, and resolutely did not trade at a loss.

"Impossible, let me sell the goods in my car at a loss, absolutely impossible. ”

Miss Cai also showed the same sinister expression as before, and then called a few names and said, "You are all relatively wealthy families, can you help Mr. Ludland make up for the difference in the price he lost?" ”

Zhou Shu also found out that the few people she ordered were some other guys who had said cool things just now, and now the masses began to criticize them again.

'This woman is terrible......,' Zhou Shu thought. But it was still a little tender, at least she couldn't control her expression. That terrible smile was too obvious. ’

Cai's behavior aroused Zhou Shu's idea, which made him realize that this woman was actually quite cute, and the figure in the Book of Summoning was good. After removing the bloated warm clothing, it can be said that it is convex and backward, and the butt is very attractive. Looking at the blonde ponytail Miss Lan again, the situation is similar, which makes him, a pervert who has been a vegetarian for a long time, a little excited.

Although Cai did use a few words to get angry for himself, he failed to improve the situation, and no one was willing to take money out to help. After all, it's a refugee, and no one knows what will happen next, and what if there is a place where money is needed?

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Zhou Shu stood up with an ulterior motive, clutching all the silver coins on his body.

He basically had gold on hand, and the silver coins were given to him by the sick princess before, and he couldn't buy a roasted corn and used gold nuggets.

He took off his hat to reveal his exotic face, grabbed the money and asked the furrier Ludland. "Is my money enough to buy the things in your car?" (To be continued)
