Chapter 15: Getting in the way

In ancient times, according to the traces of human activities, the area can be divided into: Yi, Guo, Mu, Ye!

Yi is the urban area, and Guo is the suburbs.

And Makino is far away from the city.

Mumu is a place where grains are planted and domestic animals such as cattle and sheep are domesticated, which is the village where Chen Xuan lives.

As the name suggests, the most remote wilderness, with no road connection, is even more deserted, it is a place where poisonous insects and beasts infest, and it is also a place where those thieves who have fallen into the grass gather together.

Chen Xuan walked all the way, and everywhere he saw was hell on earth.

Ten fields and nine emptiness, starvation all over the field.

And those Yi and Guo are thousands of acres of fertile land that were purchased by the landlords.

The outcasts and the plague did not affect them in any way, but their lives were more nourishing than usual.

They had more fertile land and more food, but they did not give half of the relief to the homeless.

"What kind of world is this, there are starving bones, those landlords and lords, but one by one they have fat heads and big ears, I really can't understand it."

Liu Dalong, who has always talked little, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Not only these places, but the village where Chen Xuan is located also starved to death a few days ago, but fortunately, Chen Xuan hired the villagers and let them have a bite to eat, so that more people would not starve to death.

"Boss, go further ahead, that's wild." Liu Dalong stopped Chen Xuan and reminded, "There are big insects in that place, and it's dangerous." ”

Chen Xuan paused, looked at the mountains in front of him, and said, "Then let's go back." ”

In modern times, where science and technology are highly developed, there are still large areas of wilderness that are difficult to be cultivated by manpower.

Not to mention this low-productivity ancient period, the wild will only become more dangerous.

"Wait!"

But suddenly, Chen Xuan smelled a smell.

This smell, with a strong earthy smell, made Chen Xuan quite familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

With a curious heart, Chen Xuan said: "Old Liu, it shouldn't be dangerous to walk another one or two miles into the wilderness?" ”

"This little bit of footwork will not run into a big worm, although the owner can rest assured, I am here, and you are safe."

Liu Dalong slapped his chest with a fist, and his honest voice revealed confidence.

Looking for this earthy smell, Chen Xuan walked towards the wilderness, only to feel that the air was getting more and more damp.

I was thinking about what caused this earthy smell, but I only heard that on a gloomy sheep intestine road, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and a handful of big men with fierce faces rushed out to kill.

"That boy, and that old fellow!"

"If you want to live, don't hurry up and hand over the valuable belongings on you, grandpa will spare your life!"

Chen Xuan looked at this group of big men who were robbing houses and houses, and his expression was slightly stunned.

When I went out today, I must have not looked at the yellow calendar!

Before he went deep into the wilderness, he ran into these robbers who had fallen into the grass.

"Old Liu, can you deal with these people?" Chen Xuan took a step back and asked behind Liu Dalong.

Liu Dalong looked at it in detail and said in a low voice: "The owner, except for the bandit leader, who is a hard stubble, the others are all silver spear wax heads that are not used. ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you!" Chen Xuan said softly.

"You two, what are you doing there, do you have to wait for grandpa and me to kill you yourself?!"

The bandit leader was impatient, and his eyes were black, showing a look of anger.

But he never thought that Liu Dalong howled, not only was he not afraid, but he crossed and rushed towards them.

A few big slaps were slapped out, and these thieves who fell to the grass, like Kusaosuke, were knocked to the ground.

In a moment's time, only the bandit leader was still standing.

"It's so strong......" Chen Xuan, who was standing behind, was dumbfounded when he saw Liu Dalong beating these thieves.

A few rounds later, the bandit leader with black eyes and black head had already been beaten to the ground by Liu Dalong, picked up by him, and thrown at Chen Xuan's feet.

"Two grandfathers, spare my dog's life!"

"I really didn't have anything to eat, so I just robbed some money and never harmed anyone's life."

Knowing that he had hit the iron plate, the bandit leader was terrified and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"When I'm so good that I can't cheat? You say that you have not eaten for several days, so how can you have the strength to do such things as money? Chen Xuan didn't believe this kind of statement at all.

"Master, do you know that I and my brothers have survived until now by relying on the wild vegetables in the mountains." The leader of the bandits who was questioned hurriedly defended, "If you don't believe it, I will show you the way, and you will naturally know." ”

Chen Xuan and Liu Dalong exchanged glances.

Liu Dalong, who knew about it, immediately found a thick rope and tied this folded wood to a strong one.

The bandit leader took Chen Xuan and Liu Dalong and went up the mountain.

But see!

In the middle of the mountains, the valley covered by a large area of yin sprouts is crawling with green leaves, and when the leaves are lifted, the exposed rhizomes are purple-red, exuding a unique earthy smell.

Chen Xuan's eyes widened suddenly.

"Two grandfathers, we just rely on wild vegetables, barely surviving."

"Although this wild vegetable has a strong fishy smell and a bitter smell, it can also be swallowed."

"What I said is absolutely not half false, otherwise God will accept me!"

The leader of the bandits, trying to prove that this wild vegetable could be eaten, immediately took a handful, chewed it a few times, and when he swallowed it, he couldn't stand the smell of rumination, and squatted down and retched.

"This thing is really, it can be eaten......" said the bandit leader retorted.

"I believe it."

Chen Xuan looked at this bandit leader, and in order to prove that this wild vegetable could be eaten, he tossed himself into a bad way and stopped his actions.

……

At this time.

Houshan City, Zhangfu.

As a large landlord with a name and surname in the mountain city, Zhang Dafu's mansion can be described as spacious and elegant.

"Sir!"

A servant stepped into the gate of the mansion and came to the main room, and saw Zhang Dafu hugging his two delicate concubines left and right, very interesting, stopped outside the second gate, and called softly.

"Come in now."

After Zhang Dafu called off the two concubines, he put on a majestic posture and asked, "How are things going?" ”

"According to your orders, I have driven the displaced people from various towns to the east gate of Houshan City."

"These displaced people have crowded the entire eastern part of the city, and they are almost unable to find a place to stay."

"That Chen Xuan, the sugar water he sells has also bottomed out."

The servant touted: "The master really deserves to be the master, that Chen Xuan, since he likes to be a bodhisattva, then let him be, I look at him, how many catties and taels of ability?" ”

Zhang Dafu, who heard this, stroked his palms, obviously in a good mood.

"This bodhisattva is not so easy to do, Chen Xuan, you help these displaced people, they are grateful to you, but once you can't help, you are more than the enemy in their eyes."

"Not enough, it's not enough!"
