Chapter 1 Yanzhou in miniature
A few days later, the southwest border of Yanzhou, the buffer zone between Zhongzhou and Yanzhou, is a sparsely populated barren grassland within a radius of 100 miles, known as Heihepo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, sparsely populated does not mean that the population is extinct, and the huge Heihe slope is dotted with several small villages, all of which are extremely barren, ranging from a dozen to dozens of people.
The largest village in the radius is Heihedian, with a total of 17 men, women and children, but this is the number of a few months ago, and many people have died of starvation due to famine in the past two months, and the population is probably less than 100 now.
In a family in the east of the village, a middle-aged man shouted to his mother-in-law while packing up his bags with a firewood knife: "Where is the girl?"
"Village, who knows where to go crazy. "My aunt is powerless, the family is about to run out of food, I haven't eaten anything serious for a few days, the only bit of brown rice is reserved for the man and the child to eat, the man is the pillar, the child is the hope, as for her aunt, she can only cook some grass roots.
It is a very normal thing to have dishes on the noodles, and now every household in Heihe Shop is in this situation, the old people of each family have died almost two months ago, not that the family does not give them food, most of them take the initiative to go outside to starve to death, they know that every time they eat an extra bite of the village, there is less possibility of surviving the famine, compared to their personal survival, the continuation of the clan is much more important.
"Tell her to come back and rest, wasting her strength will only get hungry faster. The middle-aged man cleaned up his body, pushed the door and said: "Today I went to Dongpo with a few dogs, and tried my luck to get some living creatures back, I can't wait to die like this." ”
"Dongpo, isn't that the territory of the Inuya Clan, you don't want to die?"
"That's better than starving to death, and now there are still some living creatures in Dongpo, if you don't fight, our whole village will die! Okay, this kind of thing is not something you should worry about as a girl, take care of the girl." ”
The middle-aged man walked out with a firewood knife on his back, and the other adult men in the village had gathered at the entrance of the village, and there was a sad smell in the air.
That's the territory of the Dogtooth Clan, and that group of barbarians is going to eat people, and if they're unlucky, everyone will die there, and then the entire Heihe Store will be over, but now they have to gamble.
The men looked at each other silently, and set off directly after seeing that everyone had arrived, without any grandiose words, it was better to save it and hunt for a while with this little strength, survival and death were the best mobilization.
Whew, whew!
Suddenly, a sky-shattering scream came from far and near, and the dust was flying, and in the frightened eyes of everyone in Heihedian, a group of majestic barbarians wearing beast armor and fangs came to the entrance of the village like a whirlwind, and they galloped and screamed around everyone in a circle.
"Inu...... The Dogtooth ...... "The less courageous people were scared to their knees on the spot, and the mothers-in-law and aunts trembled and covered the child's mouth tightly, for fear that the child would cry out and attract the attention of the other party."
There weren't many people coming, only thirteen horsemen in total, but it was enough to easily wipe out the entire Black River Shop, because they were full of fangs, because they all rode half-human tall fierce wolves, because they were dogtooth clansmen.
In front of such an alien barbarian, ordinary people don't have the strength to fight at all, even the weakest barbarians can fight against ten, not to mention that they all ride fierce wolves, this is a famous canine-toothed wolf ride!
"Hand over the food, and spare you from death. The leader of the barbarians said vaguely, the accent was not authentic, but it was enough for everyone to understand what he meant.
No one answered, and the women and children were surrounded by the only men left in the village, and the men all had a sad look on their faces, and if there was still food, they would have to risk their lives to go to Dongpo?
"Kill the wolf's head, the cubs are so hungry that we can't wait any longer!" a canine-toothed brute next to him urged.
"Wolves, five wolves, six, you go door-to-door to search, and there is not a single grain left!" The wolf head ordered loudly, it is not only Heihedian who is causing famine, but now the entire Heihepo is the same, and their Dongpo Dogtooth Clan is also quite bad, and he would not bring people here to grab food before.
"Whew, whew!" The six wolf riders roared away, and came back after a while, and the rest of the wolf riders were empty, only the five wolves carried a few bags of grain in their hands, and the grain stored by each household in Heihedian was only less than fifty catties, which was not enough for them to ride a meal.
"That's all, how can we stuff between our teeth?" said Wolf Er next to him.
"Yes, wolf head, take these people back, people can eat them!" said the three wolves baring their teeth in full swing.
"We're not barbarians, we don't eat people!
Looking at the dust raised by the wolf riders, the people of Heihedian who escaped the catastrophe did not have any joy in their eyes, but collapsed to the ground in despair one by one, although they did not die under these wolf riders, but they also lost their last bit of food, this is their last hope to live, and now there is nothing.
"Damn, fight with them!" the younger man in the village gritted his teeth and was about to chase after him, and it was better to fight than to die.
However, he was stopped by the middle-aged man and roared: "Can you catch up with people riding wolves?
"What then?" everyone was anxious, and suddenly someone shouted, "Look!"
The middle-aged man looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly his eyes were split, and in the distance, a five-year-old girl with a ponytail staggered down the hillside path, carrying a shriveled vole in her hand, just in front of the wolves.
"Girl!" The mother-in-law next to her cried and rushed forward regardless of the same, the middle-aged man and the rest of the village hurriedly shouted to keep up, the famous canine-toothed wolf rider has never been used to giving way to people, especially this is just an ordinary little girl, and now there is only one end in this situation, trampled to death by this group of wolf riders!
The wolf rider roared, and the little girl was suddenly stunned in place, and in an instant it was drowned, and the world was quiet all at once.
"My hard-working girl......" Aunt fainted on the spot, everyone on the side hurriedly pinched her, and the middle-aged man finally collapsed and knelt on the ground, the strongest man in the village burst into tears at this moment.
The wolf rode away, and after a moment the dust began to fall, and the sight before them shocked everyone again.
The little girl stood unharmed, the vole in her hand not knowing when it had escaped, but there was an extra bag of grain at her feet, a bag of food that had just been snatched from the village.
