As night fell, the gray sky was pulled down into a thick darkness.

Su Tong and the others searched for wasteland all the way and walked to the area of the tiger camp.

The further they walked on the tiger's side, the flatter the terrain became, and on the way they found several places to farm.

It's just that these places are a little scattered, so that they are not so easy to manage.

"Let's go to the Tiger Camp tonight and settle down." Su Tong glanced at the sky, and settled in the tiger camp and could continue to walk around tomorrow.

After choosing a place to stay, they didn't delay any longer, and directly accelerated their speed and went in the direction of the tiger camp.

It was already the middle of the night when they arrived, and the Black Protector and the others who were guarding the tiger camp were waiting outside the door when they got the news.

Seeing Su Tong coming, they stepped forward one after another to salute.

Su Tong bowed absently and motioned for them to get up.

"City Lord, the place is ready for you."

Su Tong bowed slightly, "It's not too early, you guys go and rest." ”

"Yes."

At night they rested in the tiger camp.

Su Tong ate dry food and did a simple grooming with hot water, and then lay down on the bed.

The temperature is also very low at the beginning of spring, and in the second half of the night, a cold wind blows.

The sound of the cold wind sounded in my ears, like a ghost roar.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside.

"City Lord, there is a group of people outside the camp." The voice of the Black Protector rang out outside the door.

Su Tong opened the door, "What person?" ”

"My subordinates and others inquired, and they said that they had escaped from the snow disaster in the southern country."

Su Tong twisted his eyebrows, can the southern snow disaster escape here?

Su Tong followed the Black Protector and walked out.

"Approximate number of people, and when did they arrive?"

"Back to the city lord, there are about two hundred people, who arrived this morning, and are now being stopped at the door."

After the formation outside the tiger camp was destroyed, it was not rebuilt, so those people directly touched the gate of the tiger camp.

When Su Tong arrived, those people were guarded by the men in black.

"City Lord." Hearing the movement, everyone looked at her.

Su Tong nodded, and his gaze fell on those people.

The eyes of those people also looked back and forth on Su Tong.

A man in ragged clothes stepped forward.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone, we are here from the Jiangcheng disaster in the southern country, I don't know where this is?"

The man was supposed to be the leader of the group, and no one else was silent when he spoke.

Although the man was strong, the words he said were actually very weak, and his cheekbones were clearly visible, and he looked hungry for a long time.

Su Tong raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but Cheng Ming stepped forward and said, "This is the Tiger Camp, and you are not prisoners, how can you escape from the disaster and come here?" Do you know what this place is? ”

Cheng Ming's words made those people puzzled, "This little brother, I know that we are out of the border of the southern country, but I really don't know where this is, if it is not really no way, we will not leave our country and leave our homeland here." ”

Cheng Ming said: "This is the land of the Northern Wilderness, a place used to exile prisoners between countries, but it is not what ordinary people should come to. ”

As soon as the man heard the words Northern Wasteland, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Lizheng, what is the place in the Northern Wasteland?" Someone pulled the man and asked in a low voice.

Li Zheng glanced at Cheng Ming and the others, "It's the place where the prisoners are exiled, but it's okay, it's not inappropriate...... he himself was a little weak when he said that.

He had heard of the Northern Wasteland, which was full of prisoners exiled from various countries, what kind of good people could be the prisoners who could be exiled?

But fortunately, there are a lot of them, so they won't arrest them all.

"City Lord, look at these people......"

The development of the Northern Wasteland needs people, and it is appropriate for these people to come, but the reason why the southern country fled here sounds somewhat strange.

"How far is Jiangcheng in the south from the border?" Su Tong asked.

Some of the people who came with him were originally in the southern country, and when they heard Su Tong ask, they replied: "Back to the city lord, Jiangcheng is not far from the southern border, because of the relatively special geographical location, the villages outside Jiangcheng are relatively remote, the city lord might as well let the little ones ask them about it, and you can know whether what they said is true or false." ”

This person Su Tong is trusted, since he is from the south, he should know the situation over there better.

Su Tong nodded, and the man stepped forward to talk to Li Zheng.

The two of them did not speak official language, but should have spoken in the dialect over there.

After communicating for about a quarter of an hour, he returned to Su Tong.

"City lord, they say that they are the villagers of Shangyao Village outside Jiangcheng, before the war between the Southern Kingdom and the Chu State, the Southern Kingdom increased taxes, and almost all the grain was handed over to the imperial court, Jiangcheng was also cold in winter in previous years, but the snow did not close the mountain, and the people in the village could still find a way to find some work in the city, and barely starved to death."

But this year, there was a snow disaster, and the officers and soldiers in the city were afraid that they would enter the city and cause a riot, so they did not open the city gate for them at all, resulting in many people freezing to death under the city wall.

This is the court of the southern country does not care, the people wait for help hopelessly can only save themselves, but the road to the south is blocked again, and they have to pay the silver to go, they have no choice but to choose to leave the country to see if they can find a glimmer of life.

After hearing this, Su Tong did not have any change in his face, and only briefly explained a few words to the people behind him.

After the man retreated, Su Tong said: "This is the Northern Wilderness, since you have arrived here, you must abide by the rules here, if you don't follow the rules, your fate will only be worse than the floating corpses on the road, understand?" ”

When those people heard that they had a chance to stay, they were afraid of what rules they would abide by, so they hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Su Tong to assure him.

"You can rest assured, we are all good citizens, we will not leave our homeland unless we are forced to do so, if we can shed it, we will abide by the rules and will never cause you trouble."

Su Tong bowed slightly, motioning for them to open the door and let them in.

Even if it is nearly two hundred people, the tiger camp can fully accommodate it.

They found a house to settle in, and as soon as they entered the house, they smelled the smell of thick soup, and their eyes were looking straight out of the window.

After a while, the men in black and the others came over with a few large pots.

Su Tong said: "I asked people to boil a little broth for you, and now it's cold, drink some to drive away the cold." ”

These people didn't expect to come here not only to have a place to stay, but also to drink broth, and they all stood up in one breath for a while.

Su Tong signaled him not to worry, everyone had soup to drink, and the man in black would deliver it to them.

Holding the thick soup in their hands, many people couldn't wait to take a big gulp.

A large bowl of soup quickly bottomed out.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, someone clutched his stomach and vomited.

"Gross!"
