Chapter 10 The Stockade
For the next few days, the two of them walked in the hope of meeting other living people.
"It's getting more and more depressed, I obviously feel that my life is being lost, and it is really not suitable to survive outside Tongtian City!" both of them were sluggish, and they had to sit down and rest for a while every time they walked.
"Do we have to go back to Babel City?" He Shengnu pouted, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yang Ling looked around, hoping to see the Tower of Babel through the clouds, but he couldn't find it anyway.
"Of course you want to go back, don't you want your sixth grandfather? I also have a lot of things to do, we must go back!"
He Shengnu was so excited that she kicked away a stone and fell silent.
Ten days later, they walked through a wooded field, and they were comforted by what they saw.
There is smoke curling there, wooden houses are seated, the long fence wall is covered with green vines, there is a wooden gate in the middle of the fence, and a crooked wooden board is tied above the wooden door, and the wooden board is written with three crooked big characters of 'Qingyang Village'.
At this time, a few children were babbling and toddlers outside the fence, and the older children were climbing high and jumping low, chasing and fighting.
"Finally see a fresh person!" He Shengnu let out a sigh of relief, her expression was very old-fashioned.
"Do these people have the Yuanling bloodline?" Yang Ling was in a daze, the children in front of him were all alive and healthy.
He Shengnu didn't have so many questions, I saw her pat her clothes, brush her hair, and pour out water from the gourd around her waist to wash her face, and after a while, she came to a big change.
Yang Ling couldn't help but look sideways, looking at the 'porcelain doll' in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more cute he felt.
"What do you see, this holy woman is dignified and generous, her beauty is unparalleled, your uncle is dirty, we really can't get along!" He Shengnu said tauntingly.
Yang Ling didn't have a theory, just bent down and slapped the buttocks of the 'porcelain doll', the voice was crisp and loud, and the startled He Shengnu was red-faced, hugged Yang Ling's thigh and bit it hard.
Of course, their presence also attracted the attention of the children, but before the two of them could speak, the children all screamed and rushed into the wooden door.
"Uncle, second aunt, hurry up and copy the guy, someone is going to attack our stockade......"
There were even a few children running and crying, as if a robber had really entered the village, which made them panic.
Yang Ling was stunned, feeling that their appearance was most likely a mistake and did not seem to be popular.
After a while, many people ran towards Yang Ling and the two men with weapons, they were all skinny, but the fierceness in their eyes was really terrifying.
Yang Ling was dumbfounded, and Seeing that the situation was not good, He Shengnu stotted and hid behind Yang Ling, stretching out her head and secretly aiming at those people.
The people gathered and stood up, looking at Yang Ling vigilantly, only to see a leading old man poke the ground a few times with the dung fork in his hand, looking fierce.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in our village?"
Looking at this wrinkled, skinny old man, Yang Ling was very helpless, he finally saw some living people, and of course he didn't want to stiffen with the other party.
Although the other party was very fierce, he still greeted him with a smile and politely asked, "I don't know what you always call him?"
The old man looked at Yang Ling, and then said coldly: "I am the person in charge of the village, surnamed Li!"
Yang Ling nodded and smiled, then pulled He Shengnu to his side and said, "Uncle Li, the two of us came out to play, lost our way, and wanted to borrow your place to stay for a few days, I don't know why?"
Seeing Yang Ling's sincere attitude and kind face, coupled with the ignorant He Shengnu, the other party also relaxed a little.
However, they still looked at Yang Ling with suspicion, after all, it was rare for someone to walk in such a place with a little girl, because it was too dangerous, unless it was a person who had cultivated spiritual energy, or a spiritual cultivator.
And they couldn't be sure of Yang Ling's identity and strength for a while, so they were so vigilant, but they didn't dare to be too ruthless.
You must know that a person who cultivates spiritual energy can easily kill everyone they have here, let alone spiritual cultivators.
"We are short of supplies here, and we are not able to accommodate the two of you for the time being, if you lose your way, we can help you point out the route, and ask Gongzi Haihan!" Li Laohan's voice also became a little polite.
Yang Ling was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the people outside Tongtian City to be so cautious.
"Please also tell us where you are from and where you want to go!" Seeing that Yang Ling did not want to leave, Li Laohan's voice was obviously much gloomy.
Yang Ling was helpless, he couldn't tell his true situation, because he didn't know the good and evil of these people in front of him, and he didn't know if this village was hiding mysteries.
He Shengnu stood behind Yang Ling, frowned and said sullenly: "These people are too stingy and have no heart for kindness, uncle give them a little bit of power, you see these people are skinny and powerless, they are not your opponent at all! Anyway, I don't want to stay in the wilderness!"
He Shengnu had seen Yang Ling kill in and out of dozens of people with her own eyes, and she was very powerful and domineering.
Yang Ling glanced at He Shengnu and felt that this little girl was really troublesome, and she knew how to oppress people at a young age.
However, at this time, it was getting dark, and he finally ran into some 'survivors', and he didn't want to leave so easily.
Immediately, he urged the internal force to run the Vajra Method, and in an instant, a layer of misty golden light appeared outside his body, which was very conspicuous.
Seeing Yang Ling's changes, those people took a step back in unison, and then raised their weapons and prepared to fight.
That Li Laohan stared at Yang Ling, his face was full of jealousy, he took a step forward and said: "Childe, we have no malicious intentions, we are really short of materials, and we can't accommodate the two, please forgive me!"
Yang Ling also took a step forward and said lightly: "The two of us are a little tired, so let's borrow your land for a few days!"
He was very depressed, he really had no sinister intentions, but the other party had a cold attitude, and every word implied the intention of expelling them, which made him a little angry.
In this way, the two sides are caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, an old man slowly walked out of the crowd, the skin on his face was like a ravine, his hands were like old bark, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I said Old Man Li, this son looks kind and well-proportioned, not like a person who lacks food and clothing, you see that little girl carved in pink and jade must be from a big family, how can she rob you of food? Let them stay!"
After saying these words, the old man whispered to Li Laohan: "Old man Li, this future life is not an easy generation, you see that he has a golden light, like a rumored spiritual cultivator, we really can't afford to provoke him, it is better to leave him for the time being, in a few days the people of the 'Black Cliff' will come to collect tribute, and then you can borrow them to suppress this person, if this person is really strong enough, if you don't fall into the hands of those people, we will push the boat down the river, saying that he is our person, maybe those 'Black Cliffs' will not dare to collect our tribute in the future!"
Hearing this, Li Laohan's eyes lit up, and he quietly gave a thumbs up, and then said to Yang Ling embarrassedly: "Since there are people in our village who are willing to receive Gongzi, then you can live first, but we really can't provide the materials you need, please forgive Gongzi!"
Yang Ling was relieved, it was just that short moment, he felt that his internal force was rapidly draining, and the Vajra method was too much of a drain on internal force.
Then they were brought into the 'village', but after entering, he found that this place was very different from what he imagined, and this was just a small village.
He Shengnu looked left and right, muttered for a while, and scratched a few times on the head of a little doll, so frightened that the other party ran away, making her laugh.
Time passed in a hurry, Yang Ling had been here for two days, and through his careful observation, although there were many houses in this so-called 'village', some of them were not inhabited at all.
The construction of so many houses is just a false statement, in order to deter the homeless people.
During this period, no one in the village took the initiative to communicate with him, and occasionally some children sneaked over and were pulled back by the fast-eyed elders.
However, the people here were much less wary of the Holy Maiden, and every time the little girl slipped out, she would be surrounded by children, and then stuffed some fruit into her pocket.
Moreover, He Shengnu is eccentric, as if she has become the king of children, and she runs around with all her 'subordinates', so that the whole village echoes with laughter all the time.
When night came, He Shengnu and Yang Ling sat opposite each other, only to see He Shengnu rubbing her arms and pinching her legs, and her mouth made a hissing sound.
"These unlucky children can't eat much all day, but they have a lot of strength, but they are tired of this holy woman!" she raised her head and glared at Yang Ling as she spoke.
Yang Ling grinned, his face flushed slightly, and he felt uncomfortable, because it was she who asked He Shengnu to 'deal with' those children.
However, the efforts of the Holy Lady He were not in vain, apparently some people had reduced their vigilance against them, and the next day someone came to their residence to talk, and everyone was curious, and these people in the village hardly traveled far, and they were very yearning for the things outside.
However, Yang Ling didn't know anything about the things outside Tongtian City, so he could only talk about it and make it up to prevaricate them.
Through talking with them, Yang Ling knew a lot of things, most of the people in the village had lived here for generations, they didn't know what the Yuan Spirit bloodline was, and everyone was able to survive outside Tongtian City by relying on a spiritual thing called 'Tianxin Grass', devouring the 'Tianxin Grass' can make people resist the invasion of time and avoid rapid aging.
There are other places where the population gathers more than ten miles away, but these people are only poor people living at the bottom, and there is a force called 'Black Cliff' that rules this area, and they will often come to the various villages to collect 'tribute'.
One of the tributes was the 'Heavenly Heart Grass', and Black Cliff would nominally bless them after receiving their tribute.
The people in the village also make a living by eating all kinds of fruits, because the diet is monotonous and food is scarce, people leave food for the children, and the elderly are mostly weak and thin bones.
What disappointed Yang Ling the most was that the few people who talked to Yang Ling didn't know where Tongtian City was, they had never traveled far, they only knew that the place where they were was a wild place, full of crises, they rarely interacted with outsiders, and they knew very little.
However, one of them told Yang Ling that those people from the 'Black Cliff' might know the location of the nearby city.
Yang Ling felt too much helplessness and loss, and he was very worried about his father and mother, as well as his own people.
"Tongtian City is only a little more than ten days away from me, but I can't find it, so if I rush to look for it, it is likely that I will travel farther and farther. He looked into the distance, his eyes full of longing.
