Rijkaard's words didn't add up to a few sentences, but it was this simple sentence that made Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng's brows wrinkle.

At first, when they heard Rijkaard say that someone was coming to steal their results, Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng thought that there was going to be a war again. The Tianfeng Continent has been fighting for twenty years, and Rijkaard's Taiping Empire has not been able to eradicate all the opposition forces on the continent, it seems that fighting is not a very unusual thing, and it can even be said that it can happen at any time, and it is very normal for Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng to think about this problem.

However, when Rijkaard explained the details in detail, Hu Wei and the others realized that this matter had nothing to do with the war, and they could not even send troops to solve the matter.

What exactly did Rijkaard tell the two of them?

It turned out that with the planting of sweet potatoes and the ability of the moat of Dragon City to produce fish, Dragon City, a city that was almost destroyed by Avril, slowly regained its new vitality. Although it is still full of ruins that have not yet had time to be sorted out and various construction sites that Rijkaard has made, there is one thing that everyone in the world needs - food.

Food is what the Heavenly Wind Continent lacks the most now, gold can't be eaten, silver can't be eaten, only grain can be eaten. Only with food can you live, and without food, even if you hold mountains of gold and silver, you will starve to death, this is something that everyone knows.

People have to eat when they live, but now there is a shortage of food everywhere in the Tianfeng Continent, and if you don't have food, you can't live, so what should you do? The easiest way is to go to a place where there is food. And now, where is the food?

Then you don't need to ask, Dragon City. The moat of Dragon City can catch a large number of fish every day, which is food that can be seen and touched. So Huh, those ordinary people who received the news and couldn't live happily because of lack of food packed up their things again, just like they did when they fled the war. Begin to gather in Dragon City.

"How many people are there?" asked Hu Wei heavily. The news brought by Rijkaard is indeed not good news. Compared to the war, he was more reluctant to see a large number of ordinary people gather in Dragon City. The war can also be solved by force, what to do with the common people who pour into Dragon City?

Kill them or watch them starve to death?

Neither of these methods can be done, nor can Rijkaard and Zhu Daneng. If they are such people, they don't need to have a headache here now, because with their ability, they can completely leave the mess in front of them and live this idle life.

They didn't go precisely because they couldn't let go of the continent. Can't let go of those ordinary people who have no food and no clothes, and they are doing everything possible to make a living for the people, how can they watch the people die.

However, with Dragon City's current ability, is it possible to feed so many ordinary people, even if this batch can be fed, then what about the gushing after that?

It was terrible to fight first, and in fact a large number of ordinary people poured into a place that was not enough to nourish them. It's also quite scary. Rijkaard's previous words were not accurate, the common people did not come to rob their achievements, they were afraid that they would ruin their achievements.

"I don't know. ”

This is Rijkaard's answer to Hu Wei. I don't know if it's not because Rijkaard didn't send someone to investigate, but because he sent someone to investigate. only to find out that it was impossible for them to count an accurate number. There are too many ordinary people flocking to Dragon City, some have already arrived, some are still on the way, and some are even ready to leave. How much is this number. I really don't know.

"I don't know. Hu Wei sneered. It was the most irresponsible answer he had ever heard, and it was also the most helpless.

Zhu Daneng was in charge of logistics, and the terrible consequences of a large number of ordinary people flocking to Dragon City. He was also very clear. However, it is clear that it is not necessarily possible to think of a solution, and Zhu Daneng does not have any way now. After pondering for a while, Zhu Daneng said: "With the supply capacity of Dragon City, it is absolutely impossible to support a huge number of ordinary people, we have to think of a way." ”

Zhu Daneng also knew that what he said was equivalent to saying nothing, but in the current situation, he had to say something. It's better to say it in vain than not to say it at all.

Hu Wei nodded, glanced at Rijkaard, and asked, "You are more experienced in this area, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Rijkaard frowned and said: "According to past experience, in the event of such a thing, the first thing to do is to close the city gates, no matter what, the main city must not be chaotic, only by keeping the refugees outside the city, can the stability of the main city be guaranteed to the greatest extent." ”

Zhu Daneng's expression changed when he heard this: "That's not to starve to death a lot of ordinary people!"

The common people had no way to flock to the main city, but when they came to the city after all their hardships but could not enter the city, the hope of life turned into a dilemma of despair, so how could they survive.

Rijkaard sighed and said, "It turns out that this is indeed the case. Whenever that happens, it's a huge disaster. I have experienced this firsthand, the smell of the corpses of the starving people outside the city can be heard very clearly everywhere in the city. That kind of thing is a great torture for people in the city and outside the city. ”

Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng have not experienced anything like that, but they can imagine the scene that Rijkaard said. And even just thinking about it makes them feel creepy. That's horrible.

"No, we can't do that!" said Hu Wei categorically. No matter how difficult it was, he couldn't let this happen in front of his eyes, and it was absolutely impossible for him to do it himself.

Rijkaard shook his head and said, "I don't want this to happen, but what can we do now?"

Hu Wei said: "No matter what we do, we have to resist." There is only one month, only one month, and the sweet potatoes will be ripe, and then we will have a lot of grain. As long as we harvest the first batch, we can get more food, just for a month, isn't that okay?"

Rijkaard smiled wryly. A month doesn't sound like a very long time, but if there is no food, this short month is enough to starve the entire Tianfeng Continent to death more than three times.

"A lot indeed. Hu Wei stood on the highest mountain in Dragon City and looked down, almost every official road leading to Dragon City was crowded with ordinary people. Some of them dragged their children and daughters, and some were alone, approaching Dragon City in a primitive way of walking.

"Young Marshal, do you think someone is messing with us?" Zhu Daneng suddenly asked Hu Wei. With the communication speed of the Heavenly Wind Continent, if it weren't for someone maliciously passing the message. How could there be so many ordinary people gathered from all directions.

Hu Wei said: "You don't even need to think about this, but what we need to do now is not to find out who is causing trouble for us, but how to settle these people." I don't want to see that kind of situation. ”

The city was full of corpses, and whenever Hu Wei thought of this scene, he was terrified. That's human lives, they're not dogs or pigs, how can they let that happen.

Zhu Daneng smiled bitterly: "Of course I know what the most important thing is now, but we know that we don't have the ability to do it." The city of Elega now has grain in stock. Not to mention a month, I can last a week, I snickered. But even if it's a week, the next days. It's not just forgetfulness. ”

Hu Wei asked, "Can we last a week with our current grain stockpile?"

Zhu Daneng nodded and said, "If it is a fish caught by Jiang Shuisheng, it is barely okay." But that's already the lowest consumption, don't you know that?"

"Hmm. Hu Wei responded to Zhu Daneng's voice and didn't say anything more. Instead, frowning and silent.

Zhu Daneng has known Hu Wei for more than 20 years, and he can be said to know Hu Wei very well, and he knows that whenever Hu Wei is like this. It must be thinking about something, and most of them already have a clue.

Could it be that in such a situation, Hu Wei can also think of a way?

This possibility made Zhu Daneng's heart beat, if Hu Wei really had a way to solve the dilemma in front of him, then he was really not a human but a god.

"Young marshal, do you have a way?" Zhu Daneng is like a child who asks the eldest child for candy, that is, he hopes that the adult can really give him candy, but he is afraid of finding that the adult has no candy for him. This can be said to be very complicated.

Hu Wei glanced at Zhu Daneng and said, "I'm not sure if this is a solution, I've just heard Master talk about it, whether it can work or not, I really haven't tried." ”

Zhu Daneng said curiously: "You don't want to sue me, you can turn stones or dirt into food." ”

Hu Wei said angrily: "You think you are singing." If I had such ability, I would still frown here, and I don't know where I went. ”

"Tell me what that looks like. Zhu Daneng said anxiously. He knew that Hu Wei had always had the most ghost ideas, and he couldn't figure out what way he could really come up with to solve the crisis in front of him.

Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for Rijkaard to come over, and save a while and say it again." ”

"Bigu?"

It was the first time Rijkaard had heard the word, and although he had lived for more than a hundred years, he could not understand the meaning of the two words literally.

Zhu Daneng's expression at this time was not much different from Rijkaard. It was the first time he had heard two words, and he couldn't discern a solution to this crisis from these two strange words.

Hu Wei explained: "Bigu is also known as 'avoiding the grain', 'but the valley', 'breaking the grain', 'the valley', 'resting the grain', etc., that is, not eating the five grains, but eating qi, absorbing the positive energy of nature, is a method of Taoist cultivation. ”

Zhu Daneng said: "Although I don't understand it very well, it sounds very powerful." Do you mean that you can not eat anything after Bigu, and only absorb any positive energy? What is this positive energy, where can I find it?"

Hu Wei said: "Positive energy is not a thing, and it is not something that can be found anywhere, in fact, to put it bluntly, positive energy is just air." It is a kind of mental energy health regimen, after physical and mental practice, the heart energy is activated, the acquired feeding system of the human body is turned off, and the innate food qi system of the human body is opened. In order to conform to the physiological function, the effect of leakage and compensation is carried out, and the physiological function is coordinated and balanced, and the excess is advocated to make up for the deficiency. Achieving a healthy state of yin and yang balance is a method of health preservation. ”

Hu Wei recalled what the master had said to him back then, and explained to Zhu Daneng and Rijkaard.

"This ...... Is it really useful?" asked Rijkaard, skeptical. If he couldn't understand the meaning of the word 'Bigu' at first, now he can't understand it even more.

Hu Wei smiled bitterly: "I also listened to what the master said about these things, and I am not very sure whether it can be done or not." ”

Zhu Daneng asked anxiously: "Then has your master and his old family succeeded?" In Zhu Daneng's view, Hu Wei is so powerful, and Hu Wu's master is even more powerful. He must have practiced successfully on his own. It was passed on to Hu Wei.

Hu worriedly said: That unscrupulous master knows how to make delicious food every day, if he has the heart to practice this, then he doesn't need to keep thinking about how to steal other people's chickens and touch other people's dogs.

I thought so in my heart, but Hu Wei didn't want to blow this thing out. He was the one who came up with the method of Bigu, and if he didn't even try it at all, then how could Rijkaard have confidence.

In fact, to speak from the heart, when Hu Wei proposed this method, he was also beating the drum in his heart. If he hadn't known Wu Liang's true identity, he would be a master-level scientist. Then he would never gamble on this. After all, what the people in the rivers and lakes say, if one out of ten is true, it is already very remarkable.

Hu Wei remembered that when Wu Liang said this to him, it really seemed that he had studied it, and now there is really no other way. will tell this thing.

Hu Wei pondered for a while, and said: "Actually, Bigu doesn't mean that he doesn't eat from the beginning, he just uses a certain method to reduce the food needed for his identity and absorb energy from nature." ”

Rijkaard said: "If only the need for food is gradually reduced. I guess it can still be successful. ”

After listening to Hu Wei's explanation of Bigu, Rijkaard decided to implement the Bigu plan on a large scale in Dragon City. In fact, he couldn't do it if he didn't do it, and now more and more people were pouring into Dragon City. The food in Dragon City is no longer enough to support such a big need, and now in front of Rijkaard, either everyone hugs each other and dies, or they see that the common people are starving to death, and they are going to die anyway, it is better to do what Hu Wei said, as long as it can last for a month, and wait for the sweet potatoes to grow, then this level will be passed.

Rijkaard agrees with Hu's plan, and Huwei gets busy. If you practice to the highest level, you may really be able to live without eating and only absorbing some air every day, but it is absolutely impossible to do that at the beginning, otherwise no one will starve to death.

Hu Wei is now busy eating Bigu pills. He wants to make the surplus grain into Bigu pills, so as to reduce the people's demand for food.

Bigu Pill is actually not unfamiliar to Hu Wei, and most people who run the rivers and lakes will have some on them. The things on the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to say, the people in the rivers and lakes are running outside every day, no one knows when something will happen, bring some Bigu pills on the body, and eat one grain when encountering difficulties, especially when you can't find food, you can not be hungry for a day.

Hu Wei had eaten Bigu Pills when he was with his master before, and he knew a little about the functions of Bigu Pills, but the longest time he didn't eat for a day, but used Bigu Pills to hard top, and he really didn't know how long this Bigu Pill could not even eat without eating, he really didn't know. Now, this unknown true ability of the Bigu Pill is Hu Wei's greatest reliance, and what he said to Rijkaard before about the method of Bigu is not to lie to them, but it is really difficult to let the people master the method of Bigu in a short period of time, and it will be more effective to use Bigu Pill.

"It's really muddy. Zhu Daneng saw that Hu Wei also got the mud into the raw materials, and couldn't help but say.

"Just adding a little bit slows down the digestion of food, not really eating puree. Hu Wei explained. His method of Bigu Pill was passed down by his master and he had eaten it himself, knowing that even if it was mudded, it would not be dangerous to the body.

Zhu Daneng smiled and said, "I don't understand the principle anyway, so you don't have to explain it to me so much." Anyway, if it can be done, the real result will be known. ”

When it comes to information, Zhu Daneng is still very confident in Hu Wei. At least so far, Hu Wei has not done anything to disappoint Zhu Daneng, and he hopes that this time, Hu Wei can also succeed. After all, the cost of failure is too great.

Hu Wei glanced at Zhu Daneng and smiled. Now Zhu Daneng is not the only one waiting to see the result, even he himself wants to know what will become of such a trick in the end.

Alas, I hope what the unscrupulous master said is reliable...... (To be continued.) )
