"It's finally time to be in Changfeng City."

Seeing the creeping giant city and the ancient city wall in front of him, Lu Yan really had some tears in his eyes.

He has been in this world for half a month, and he has been in exile with the army of displaced people for half a month, during which he has been on the verge of death several times, and he has survived dangerously.

For example, in order to snatch a few wild vegetables, he was almost beaten to death by other homeless people.

He sighed more than once that he was one of the most unlucky traversers.

That's right, he was originally from the earth, he was a street writer, he worked during the day, and coded words at night, perhaps because he was too tired, and fell asleep one night when he coded words, and when he woke up, his soul wore to a boy with the same name and surname in the other world.

The original owner's hometown suffered a natural disaster, thousands of miles of red land, the plants died, not only did not harvest the grains, but even the bark and wild vegetables had no to eat, and if they did not leave, they could only starve to death, so they could only migrate to other cities.

The original owner followed his parents into exile, had a serious illness on the way, and had already died, and happened to be occupied by Lu Yanjiu, and inherited most of the memories, so he did not show his feet during this time.

"I don't know if the gate valve of Changfeng City will take us in?"

The man who spoke was an old man, everyone called him Uncle Wu, with dark and chapped skin, white hair, thin skin and bones, obviously only about fifty years old, but older than the seventy-year-old man on earth.

There was a deep worry in his voice, and his eyes were full of confusion about the future, and helplessness.

"It's hard to say."

It was Lu Yan's father, Lu Qingshan, who answered.

Lu Qingshan is about thirty-five years old, with a square face, because he is a hunter, he hunts all year round, although he has been in exile for thousands of miles these days, he has eaten and slept in the open, but his body is still quite strong.

At least, compared to these homeless.

Lu Yan looked around, the surrounding black pressure was full of homeless people, and Lu Yan estimated that there were no less than 10,000 people.

An indescribable stench wafted in the air, which was disgusting, but fortunately, Lu Yan was used to it.

The homeless people stared blankly at the city ahead, waiting for the judgment of fate.

It is common for displaced people to be rejected, and some gate lords not only refuse to accept them, but also send troops to drive them away, and if they do not comply, it is normal to cut off their heads.

If the gates of Changfeng City refuse, they will be exiled again and go to the next city.

But with their food and physical condition, most of them will die on the road before they can reach the next city.

Thundered!

Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly, and a roar came from Changfeng City.

The sound came from far and near, and in an instant it came to the front, and everyone saw clearly that this was a cavalry, only about 100 horsemen, but it was running with a magnificent momentum, like thousands of horses.

"It's the martial army of the gate lord."

I don't know who shouted, and everyone's hearts were raised, whether to accept or reject, they will see immediately, which will determine their fate in the future.

Sigh the law...

The cavalry stopped in front, in unison, not in the slightest, apparently well-trained.

"What a tall horse, what a strong knight."

Lu Yan looked at it curiously, secretly speechless.

The back of the war horse is almost more than two meters high, and the cavalry on the horse, dressed in red iron armor and holding a spear, is burly and strong, like a giant bear.

Lu Yan roughly judged that the height of these cavalrymen was all above 1.9 meters, which was in stark contrast to the homeless people.

Glancing at a cavalryman, Lu Yan's hair stood on end, his heart beat faster, and he felt like he was being targeted by a fierce beast.

When he went to the zoo in his previous life, he had close contact with the Siberian tiger, but the Siberian tiger gave him a feeling far less than that of this cavalryman.

Lu Yan hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

At this time, a middle-aged cavalryman walked out, looked at the wolf, and said: "The head of the family has an order, the homeless people come here, and they will be the people of my Liu clan in the future, and they will send porridge after a while, and then arrange your residence." ”

What?

Tens of thousands of homeless people were stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy, with excited expressions on their faces.

They did not refuse, but they also gave porridge and dwellings, and they were saved.

Not long after, large vasks were pushed over from the direction of the city, the porridge was fragrant and attractive, and Lu Yan's stomach growled uncontrollably.

"Now start to distribute porridge, everyone lines up to receive porridge, if there is anyone who cuts in line indiscriminately, there will be no forgiveness."

A cavalryman shouted loudly, like a bell, and it was heard for miles, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Soon, tens of thousands of homeless people lined up in several long lines, and Lu Yan followed his parents to line up, and after about two sticks of incense, he successfully received a bowl of porridge.

The porridge was no longer hot, Lu Yan picked up the bowl and finished it in a few gulps.

The porridge is boiled with brown rice, and it is very thin, to be honest, it is far from the white porridge on the earth, but at this moment, Lu Yan feels that it is extremely delicious.

These days, every day I rely on some dry food stored by my parents, plus wild vegetables and grass seeds, and the unpalatable ones can no longer be unpalatable, and I am constipated every day.

"Dad, mother, you eat."

Lu Yan saw that Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui and his wife had not eaten the porridge, so he called out.

"Yan'er, my mother is not hungry, my mother will give you this bowl of porridge too."

Wang Cui handed the bowl in his hand to Lu Yan.

"Yes, we're not hungry yet, Yan'er, you haven't recovered from your serious illness yet, and when you grow your body, you need to eat more."

Lu Qingshan also said.

Although Lu Yan was still a single dog in his previous life, he was an adult after all, so how could he not know the good intentions of being a parent.

"Dad, mother, I'm full, you can eat quickly, and you will have to arrange a place to live later."

Lu Yan smiled.

It is false to say that Lu Yan has just crossed over to have any feelings for the second elder, but in the past half a month, the second elder has something to eat, first of all, it is left to him, if there is danger, it is also in front of him, like a wall to isolate the danger, if it were not for the careful care of the second elder, with his body that has not recovered from a serious illness, he would have died on the road long ago.

People's hearts are made of meat, and after half a month of getting along, Lu Yan has recognized Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui, and treats them as his parents.

The couple wanted to say more, but Lu Yan only said that he was full, and the second elder couldn't resist Lu Yan, so he picked up the bowl and ate the porridge cleanly, and even licked the little porridge water left at the bottom of the bowl.

"Bold, I've already received the porridge and still want to mix in and get it again, thinking that I can hide it from my eyes? Look for death. ”

A loud shout was like a thunderclap in the sky.

A cavalryman rode out, spear in his hand piercing like lightning, piercing a middle-aged man and raising it high above his head.

The middle-aged man, like a pierced fish, kept struggling and twitching, and his eyes were full of despair.

Airplanes!

As soon as the cavalry exerted force, the spear shook, producing a terrible force, and the middle-aged man's body was torn apart, and the internal organs and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, Rao is Lu Yan had seen countless dead people along the way, and he almost vomited out the porridge he had just eaten.

During the exile, countless people starved to death, but this was the first time I had seen such blood.

"It's so powerful, is that martial arts, just the vibration power generated by shaking the spear can shatter an adult's body, what kind of power is this?"

Holding back the discomfort, Lu Yan looked at the cavalryman, and his heart turned upside down, and it was difficult to calm down.

That kind of visual impact is too strong, and the five-cent special effects of movies and TV series in the previous life can't be shot at all.

From the memory of this body, he knew that there was martial arts in this world, and martial arts masters were just waiting to hunt tigers with their bare hands, but he had never seen it.

This was the first time he had seen a martial arts master make a move.

"The child's father, why do you want to kill him, he just wants to get another bowl of porridge for the child, woo woo, you go, how can we live."

At this moment, a thin woman threw herself on the ground, crying and grabbing the ground.

"Cry again, and send the two of you to see him."

The knight who shot before scolded, and the killing intent was pervasive, like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour.

Where did the thin woman dare to cry again, she could only hug her child and tremble.

The other homeless people were silent, and some of those who also wanted to blend in with the team to receive a second bowl of porridge dispelled the idea.

The distribution of porridge continued, and when the porridge was finished and the bowl was recycled, there were officers who came to register information from house to house.

Registration is simple, simply ask for your name and age, where you come from, and what kind of craft you know.

There are three kinds of smelting, forging and pharmaceutical, and there are other arrangements.

Through the memory of his predecessor, Lu Yan knew that the place where he was located was called the Great Chu Dynasty.

However, the imperial court is weak, and the area that can be governed is only a few states, and the princes of other territories are fighting, and the gate lords are self-reliant, training and raising military armies, and customizing the law, and each gate lord is an independent small country.

The gate valve family is high, and ordinary people are like pigs and dogs, killing and killing.

The various gates have been fighting with each other all year round and plundering resources, so weapons and medicines have become scarce goods, and these crafts will naturally be popular.

"Lu Qingshan, Lu Chuan, Lu Daniu, Wu Si, Wu Hai..."

"Fifty of you come with me and arrange for you to enter the mountain village."

An officer called out the name, and the one who was named brought his family closer to the officer.

......

The mountain village, backed by Woniu Mountain, is named, and is more than ten miles away from Changfeng City.

An officer, two knights led the team, a group of more than 50 households followed, and half an hour later, the mountain village in front was already looming.

On the way, Lu Yan always had a question.

The backing village seems to be an old village, this kind of village is generally full of people, so how can you 'stuff' their fifty households into it?

Not only Lu Yan, but other people also had this question, but the officers and knights didn't say a word, and they didn't dare to ask more.

The village is surrounded by a wooden fence that can be more than two meters high, which is to prevent wild animals from entering the village at night.

The door was open, and Lu Yan caught a glimpse of more than a dozen people watching.

Soon, they walked into the village.

"The backer village has arrived, and next, the official has something to announce..."

The officer was interrupted by a shout.

"Don't come, don't come, you can't leave when you come, you have to die, you have to die here."

A village woman, with a thin figure, her hair scattered, her pale face twisted, with a thick fear, stared at Lu Yan and the others and shouted with all her might.

"Where did you come from, drag it on."

The officer's face changed, and he snorted.

A knight was about to rush out of the warhorse, but saw a few figures running out of the village in a hurry, two village men pulled the crazy village woman, and an old man fell to the ground with a plop, his body trembled slightly because of fear, and said: "My lord spares her life, my daughter is a madman, talking nonsense all day long, and the old man will take her down." ”

"I'm not crazy, I'm dead, I'm all dead, it's a cannibalistic village, and there are powerful ghosts asking for my life..."

The village woman was still shouting, and the hysterical voice, distorted face, and frightened eyes made everyone's hearts furry and shiver.

A villager hurriedly covered the village woman's mouth so that she could not make a sound.

The officer's face was gloomy like water, and he said, "If you don't take it away, there will be a next time, and you will not be spared." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you."

The old man kowtowed again and again, and then quickly retreated with the two village men and the village woman.

Lu Qingshan and the others looked at each other, their hearts were still hairy, and that trace of chill could not be receded.

"It's nonsense."

The officer sneered and said, "I am not satisfied with you saying that there was a plague in the backing village not long ago, which caused many villagers to die of illness, so many houses were vacant, but you can rest assured, the plague has already been controlled, and you can move in with peace of mind." ”

"Also, the fields left by the names of the villages where they died of illness will also be distributed to you and cultivated for you, and after the harvest next year, you only need to pay fifty percent of the tax."

And the distribution of fields?

Everyone was overjoyed, and the chill in their hearts lightened a little.

As for paying fifty percent of the tax, they directly ignored it.

Now they are all starving to death, who cares about the fifty percent tax, and in this war-torn era, the fifty percent tax is really not high.

"Next, there are two things to announce."

"First, the head of the family has mercy and allows you to borrow grain, up to three buckets of brown rice per household, and you can also borrow potato seeds, but after the harvest in the coming year, you have to pay an extra fifty percent, which is counted as interest, and those who want to borrow will be registered one by one."

The officer continued to announce.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and that was because of the excitement.

You can even borrow grain and seeds.

One bucket is about twelve and a half pounds, and three buckets are nearly thirty-seven, with wild vegetables, wild fruits, grass seeds, etc., the family has no problem for a few months.

And now is the eighth day of September, it is the season to plant potatoes, and the potato harvest time is short, generally more than two months to mature, now planted, November can be harvested.

As long as they get to that point, they can live.

"I register..."

"I register..."

Each household has a representative, and all of them are registered.

"In a while, there will be food and seeds coming, now announce the second thing."

"The Liu clan needs an army to defend their homeland, so they have recently recruited a group of young people for training, ranging in age from fourteen to twenty, who can not only provide free food and drink, but also teach you the method of martial arts cultivation, and there is a monthly money of three hundred wen per month."

The officer continued.

This remark made many people's eyes light up.

Eat and drink for free, and you can also have a monthly money of 300 wen every month.

Because of the war, the price of grain has risen year by year, and now the price of rough grain is about two wen, and 300 wen is enough to buy 150 catties of rough grain.

The most important thing is to be able to learn martial arts.

In this world, martial arts are supreme, and in the era of war, it is even more important to emphasize martial arts and light literature.

Although it is dangerous to join the army, it is better than starvation.

The succession of good news made everyone dissipate completely because of the uneasiness caused by the crazy village woman.

Immediately, many eligible people will sign up.

"Dad, mother, I want to sign up."

Lu Yan said.

In the past half a month, coupled with the memory of his predecessor, Lu Yan understands very clearly, as the bottom, he has no ability to protect himself and take risks, his life is in the hands of the strong, and if there is a slight problem, he will die.

The second is a human being, he doesn't want to live such a life, he wants to practice martial arts, become a strong man, and have the ability to protect himself and his family, not the fish and meat on the chopping board of others, which are slaughtered.

But if you want to practice martial arts, it is not easy to say, unless you have a special talent that is discovered, otherwise, if you want to contact martial arts, you have to spend a lot of money to go to those martial arts halls to learn.

But where did he get the money, he couldn't make up the cost of martial arts training for a lifetime by farming.

This opportunity, he did not want to miss.

He didn't ask Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui, and walked directly to the officer, he knew in his heart that Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui definitely didn't let him join the army.

It was too late for Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui to hold Lu Yan, so they could only stand there and be anxious.

"Your body is too weak, your foundation is weak, you don't meet the conditions, step down."

The officer just glanced at Lu Yan and directly refused.

Lu Yan had no choice but to retreat, and Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, a total of 12 people met the conditions, were registered, and were to leave with the officers at the meeting.

An hour later, several truckloads of grain and seeds arrived, and everyone received them.

Then each household was issued a wooden plaque with a room number written on it, and each house in the village also had a corresponding room number at the door, and it was enough to find the house to live in according to the room number on it.

The room number Lu Qingshan received was thirty-six.

They took the grain and seeds and found room 36.

The location of the house, on the edge of the village, is not large, with mud walls, thatched tops, and has three rooms, a small hall and a small kitchen.

There are still rusty hoes, poles, dustpans and other farm tools at the door, but the original owner of the house is long gone.

Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui immediately began to clean up, Lu Yan wanted to help, but was stopped by the second elder, saying that Lu Yan was cured from a serious illness and had to rest.

After cleaning, it was already evening, Wang Cui took some brown rice and cooked a pot of thick porridge.

A family of three gathered around a wooden table and ate with relish.

The brown rice is mixed with rice bran, and the taste is extremely poor, in the past, Lu Yan was difficult to swallow, but now he feels extremely sweet.

A bowl of brown rice porridge is in the stomach, and the body is warm.

In the eyes of the second elder, there is no confusion and despair about the future on the road to exile, but instead hope and anticipation for the future days.

There is a house, there is a field, there is food, there is a seed, this is hope.

"Yan'er, rest early, I'll go into the mountains to hunt tomorrow morning, and I'll hunt a hare for you to replenish your body."

Lu Aoshan Road.

At night, the moonlight covered the thatched house, and Lu Yan lay on the wooden bed, his thoughts were chaotic and it was difficult to sleep.

One moment I thought of the scene of starvation and death in the wilderness on the way to exile, another thought of the terrible power of the knight to kill one man with one shot, and then I thought of the mad village woman who screamed with exhaustion during the day...

For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, which grew thicker and thicker like the darkness of the night.

"The world is full of dangers, I have to protect myself, what is that book in my head? Why still no response. ”

As a traverser, Lu Yan is not without specialty, on the first day of crossing, he found that there was a book in his mind, as long as he concentrated, it would appear in his mind, but Lu Yan tried many times and did not find any special functions.

After many fruitless attempts, Lu Yan could only give up.

After thinking about it distraughtly for a while, the sleepiness gradually came, and in a daze, Lu Yan fell asleep.

Suddenly, a terrible scream resounded through the quiet night sky of the small village, and Lu Yan sat up from the bed abruptly.
