Chapter II

Not only did he send military dogs to search, Qin Ming also led the remaining ten soldiers to explore one house after another, hoping to find the surviving people, ask them what exactly is here, what happened, and maybe even ask the ins and outs.

From time to time, sporadic gunshots rang out, and some greedy people were unwilling to give up the meat in their mouths, or they were lucky, all of them were to give it a peanut.

He found that the houses here were almost all brick houses, which showed that in this era, well, he still hadn't come up with a reason, and the walls in the distance looked like they were built with countless boulders.

Before he could enter the city, the roar of people suddenly sounded in the originally quiet inner city.

"Huh! Someone," Qin Ming hurriedly hid among the soldiers, and hurried through the big hole.

So the next scene stunned him!

Although Qin Ming and the others were dressed in strange costumes, and there was a constant roar outside just now, these people just glanced at them when they saw them coming, and then turned their attention to the nearby beasts.

One of the old men with white eyebrows first glanced at the surrounding ruins, looked at the surrounding ruins, his eyes dimmed, then he smiled, and then turned his gaze to Qin Ming and them, his eyes condensed.

Qin Ming watched the old gentleman shift his attention to himself, his eyes were still strange, he rubbed his hair that had not been washed for two days, he looked at the equipment on his body, a t-shirt, a pair of shorts, and a pair of slippers, could it really be a hairstyle problem...

All right! He admits that what he is dressed now is a bit strange compared to these people.

He glanced at it, most of them were old men in their fifties and sixties, dressed in silver-gray armor, holding sharp blades, different from what he thought, they were very neat, and four or five beasts could not get close to being beheaded.

In a few moments, most of the beasts that remained in the inner city were also wiped out, and the few that were scattered did not know where to hide, during which he asked the soldiers to surround and occasionally help shoot a few.

The old gentleman's gaze swept among Qin Ming and the others, and he took a few steps closer to Qin Ming with a big sword, leaned over slightly and said, "Sir, are these people under your command?" ”

Qin Ming, except for him, the clothes of the others were exactly the same, and they looked like small soldiers.

Looking at Qin Ming again, although his hair is sloppy, his clothes are untidy, he doesn't know what kind of shoes he is wearing under his feet, and his toes are exposed, but the whole person is white and clean, surrounded by these people in green, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.

As Qin Ming, the successor of socialism with a sense of justice who lives under the red flag and is surrounded by the core concept of socialism all day long, he was a little overwhelmed by the old man at this time, and hurriedly got out of the way.

And what surprised him was that although he could understand what the old man said, the language he spoke was not Chinese, what was this inexplicable feeling.

Qin Ming tried to say: "That, the old man doesn't have to be so polite, I can't afford to be called this, these people are indeed led by me." You can just call me by my name, Qin Ming. ”

When the old man heard this, he directly bent down and bowed to Qin Ming.

"So those beasts were also driven away by adults? Thank you, sir, but I don't know where the adults came from, came from the atrium? ”

Qin Ming hurriedly turned around to avoid this bow, and hurriedly helped the old man up.

"Old man, didn't I tell you? Don't really be so ...... It's a pain in the fall, "Buying and selling, I finally remembered what to do."

"But I didn't come from some atrium, and when I came I was in a cave surrounded by black-robed men...... Old man, do you know what's going on? ”

"No matter what, I still want to thank you, altar, circle?" The old man shook his head with his big sword for a while, and continued: "Is there a red cross mark on the black robe, yes, then I think I also know how you came here, but that was twenty years ago. ”

Maybe it was because Qin Ming's words were not fake, and the old man's answer was more sincere and no longer so polite.

Qin Ming didn't know what his mood should be now, it stands to reason that he should be happy, but shouldn't the script be a little more tortuous.

After all, the process of finding the truth of the matter is always tortuous and bizarre, and it will not appear until the final defeat of the Great Demon King.

Now you can just ask someone to find out.

"Old man, please tell me your memories."

The old man was a little surprised by Qin Ming's words, but he still nodded, closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, as if recalling: "My surname is Ma, and my name is Yi." I was still a general thirty years ago, and although I was only a partial general, I was fortunate enough to learn about the plan, which was initiated by the first consul of the Atrium, Snowo, before his death. ”

Summoning array, am I really summoned? But isn't this a bit of a delay?

"I heard that for this reason, Master Snow has been studying this summoning circle since he stepped into the sage, and he didn't plan to practice it until he died, which seems to be very risky, but unfortunately, it seems to have failed at that time."

"Then I'm it, but why is it delayed for thirty years?" Qin Ming asked directly with doubts.

"Back then, in order to ensure the success rate of a summoning and not be disturbed, a group of people volunteered to try to perform the summoning ceremony, except for them, no one knew where the location was, and I only heard that they were dressed in black robes with the mark of a red cross on them."

"If you want to summon the summoner, you still need a medium, at that time, we used a magic stone as the medium, and Mr. Snow determined the coordinates, and if the summoned person wants to come, he will have to go through the medium, as long as he accepts this magic stone, he can teleport. As for the difference in timing? This is also normal. ”

Magic Stone! Qin Ming took out the pendant hanging around his neck, "Is this it?" ”

The old man glanced at it, "Yes, although there is no magic power, it is indeed a magic stone. It's just that I remember that the magic stone propaganda posters that were used as a medium at the time didn't look like this. ”

！！！

My parents really lied to me, and said that they went to Yunnan to buy a Buddha pendant carved from jade, and I seemed to hear them say that this thing seemed to be picked up somewhere.

Qin Ming knew why he came, and the old man looked stunned and muttered, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Why is it 30 years late? Teacher. ”

Another question, what the hell is that Snow guy?

Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "Hey, no, why did he summon it?" ”

The old man looked dazed, and thought for a long time before answering: "I don't know this question, this summoning ceremony is still from the grapevine of the military department, if you want to know the answer, you are afraid that you will have to go to the atrium."

Mr. Qin Ming, for the time being, I will tell the people that you are a rescue sent by the atrium to stabilize the people's hearts, don't you mind? ”

Qin Ming was stunned and nodded.

So the old man gathered the residents together and chattered a lot.

The survivors over there had no concealment of their joy and excitement on their faces, looking at Qin Ming with relief in their eyes.

"Old man, I see that you all seem to be very, very athletic," Qin Ming hid behind the shoulders of several soldiers.

"Ahh The old man smiled, took off his helmet, and said happily: "It's okay, it's okay, how much exercise you exercised when you were young!" ”

“…… Ahaha, that's amazing, but what happened to all of you? Qin Ming still remembered the big hole he had just passed by.

"It's a normal beast tide, but now that the beast tide has come to us, it means that the strongest West Gate Pass in Xiling has been broken, and we have suffered here," the old man looked at the broken city wall and sighed with emotion.

"Ma Lao," at this time, a young man ran over panting, and took a few breaths before he hurried: "The number of people is 3,267, 268 people were injured due to the collapse of the house, 279 children were injured, and they were all right to hide in the cellar, and no one died." ”

Ma Lao smiled and nodded, with a look of course, turned his head and continued to talk to Qin Ming.

"However, when the beast tide arrived, he didn't send a notice in advance, that is to say, the West Gate Pass broke very suddenly, and even Ma Tianyi, the guard of the West Gate Pass, couldn't hold on, his grandmother's must have drunk and made a mistake, and there should be more than one giant beast," Speaking of this, the old man was a little angry.

"Hmmm! Isn't it dangerous for us to stay here? Qin Ming's gaze swept around, and he was about to ask where to retreat.

"It's all right, these brutes go further inward. If a group dies here, go back and fight the next batch, and there will be enough space in the west neighborhood," the old man said leisurely, stroking his long beard.

"When the council learns the news, it will soon send troops to regain the lost territory, and the invasion of the beast tide in the past is not so strong, etc., I remember that this year's prediction should not be a beast tide, as you can see, huge creatures do not appear very often, often only go out once in decades, what is really unlucky!

Ah, by the way, you can also go to the atrium at that time and ask what is going on," the old man suspected that he might have Alzheimer's, and beat his chest, but he couldn't remember what this year's forecast was.

"Yes...... Well, then let's continue to find out if there are any other survivors," Qin Ming said with some weakness as he looked at the ruins around him.

One after another, dozens of more survivors were found.

Ma Lao stepped forward, stopped his crutches, and said, "Everyone be quiet," pointing at Qin Ming, "He, he is an adult sent from the atrium, the purpose is to let us live a good life, although the timing is not coincidental, but we should still respect him, love him, and follow his instructions, understand?" ”

Ma Lao has some prestige, and everyone actually believes it when they hear it! Qin Ming was a little confused, it should be said that being older is good to coax people and be highly respected.

Chapter III

Before the arrival of the Reconquista army, Qin Ming and his soldiers decided to help the survivors repair their houses, at least where they lived.

"emmmmm, folks...... Eh, everyone, come on, my soldiers and I will also help you," Qin Ming enjoyed the treatment of a leader for the first time, he decided to encourage everyone and increase everyone's enthusiasm for work, could it be that this group of such tough old people, carrying two large boulders with one hand, he didn't know what to say.

The common people generally did not react, but they looked at him a little strangely, but they did not say anything.

Although Qin Ming didn't mean to brag and fool everyone, after it was completely dark, he turned out a few cauldrons in a dilapidated tavern and stewed a few pots of pork stewed vermicelli.

Ahem, first of all, pick out all the fat wild boars from the pile of beast corpses killed by the soldiers in the afternoon, and how many pots can be stewed.

Let the soldiers use daggers to cut out the pork belly, the pork belly is located in the belly of the pig, the most tender and juicy, so a few pigs stewed in a few pots of pork stewed vermicelli should be enough.

As for the noodles, many residents turned over flour from their homes and gave it to Qin Ming to use to make noodles, oil and salt, even if there was no coriander, he could let the soldiers go to the forest to find it.

Watching them work tirelessly and run around without complaint, ah, is this what it is like to command others?

Sprinkle with the right amount of salt, some coriander, chopped green onions, wild vegetables, although there is no cooking wine, no dark soy sauce, no star anise, no peppercorns, no Chinese cabbage, no real vermicelli! But it's still pork stewed vermicelli.

In addition to a few pots of pork stewed vermicelli, of course, rice is also essential.

A bowl of rice topped with a layer of pork stewed vermicelli. A full bowl with the juice mixed with the white rice.

Basically everyone can eat two large bowls, just enough to eat, although it is a soldier's portion.

The common people tasted the taste strangely, sighed that it tasted good, and then ate bread, milk and fruit.

"Ah, I really didn't expect it, it turns out that flour can be made into long strips, and we all knew that flour can be made into bread before, which can fill our stomachs." Ma Lao couldn't help but praise Qin Ming, "Although the conditions are simple, they are full of color, flavor, and flavor." I didn't expect you to have good cooking skills. ”

Hearing Ma Lao's praise, Qin Ming just couldn't help but recall the reason why his mother asked him to learn cooking skills from her, "Good boy, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you have to catch a woman's stomach, so you have to practice good cooking skills, otherwise with your mediocre mediocrity, what reason do you have for others to agree to be your girlfriend." ”

So, from the age of 14, he made all the meals at home, until he went to college, because he lived on campus, so he ......

Huh! There seemed to be something wrong, Qin Ming's head seemed to tremble when he thought of this, and his head hurt a little.

Speaking of this, Qin Ming had some questions: "Old Ma, don't you like to eat meat very much?" If there is a lot of animal tides, there should be no shortage of meat. ”

Hearing this, Ma Lao smiled: "Sure enough, it's a young man who hasn't suffered much, if the beast tide is not too serious, after it recedes, you can still pick up some meat to eat, but most of it will still be sold." ”

"Along with the support army sent by the atrium, there are usually accompanying merchants who sell them animal skins and meat, but they can also have a good price, these beasts can't eat so much, they will be broken in a few days, and it is practical to sell them for some money," Ma Lao pointed to the pile of beast corpses and shook his head.

"Only those caravans bought space rings at a large price, and whether they sold these animal skins and beast meat to the orcs in the north or the elves in the plains or the sea tribes a little farther away, the heads of those things are not as good as ours, and it is always said that we are cunning, and we can always benefit more from exchanging from them."

In fact, it is always impatient to say so many words in one breath like the one above, whether it is the person who speaks or the person who listens.

By the way, the old man continued, "the place where we live here is not suitable for farming, but the elves, who occupy a large plain, forest, fertile land.

Each elf has a very high magical talent, a long lifespan, as long as an adult can have the strength of a magister, fortunately the fertility is low, otherwise ......"

Finally, the old man opened the notes he had with him and finished the last paragraph.

Qin Ming: "......, why are you telling me this?"

"As for going hunting in the monster forest, haha, most of the beast tide is beasts, and only a small number of awakened monsters," the old man smiled.

This time, there are giant beasts that have not been encountered in a hundred years, precisely because there are only monsters living in the monster forest, but because of too much breeding, most of the beasts that have not awakened until they reach adulthood will cause a beast tide because they have no living space," the old man shook his head and left, not wanting to answer any more questions.

At this time, the soldiers had finally finished eating, and according to common sense, according to their concise style, they should be able to quickly kill the two bowls of rice.

Soldier A said to Soldier B, "Oh my God, this is ...... Is this what rice, noodles and pork taste like? It's indescribably wonderful. Damn it! ”

With tears in the corners of his eyes, Soldier B said, "Yes! I didn't expect to be able to actually taste the taste of food in my lifetime. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the old men cried tears "woo woo".

Qin Ming's embarrassed goosebumps were about to fall. No, it's not right, it's not easy.

Qin Ming immediately sensed that this was a good opportunity to pursue the identity of the summoned object, what was going on with this system.
