Chapter 3: The Tragic Life (Part 4)

(No nonsense, present the fourth watch!ask for a red ticket!)

Thinking of this, Lin Tao couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Uh, big ...... Uncle. To be honest, Lin Tao always felt that it was too unaccustomed to calling the big man on the other side uncle, this title was really weird, and he thought about whether it would be better to add a name. Although just looking at age, this big man is fully qualified to be Lin Tao's uncle.

As if he saw Lin Tao's awkwardness, the middle-aged man laughed, and then said, "I'll be Luogar." ”

Finally knowing the name of the big man, Lin Tao smiled and said, "Uncle Logar." May I ask if there are a lot of beasts on the South Star Plain?"

Logar was stunned, as if he didn't understand why Lin Tao could ask like this, "Yes, yes, but not much, haven't you noticed it yourself along the way?"

Lin Tao nodded and said, "Of course, so I'm wondering, since there are not many beasts, why does the town have to be so tight, surrounded by thick barbed wire, like a copper wall." ”

Finally knowing what Lin Tao meant, Logar shook his head helplessly, and said with some emotion and anger: "Where are these barbed wire fences used to defend against wild beasts! Although there are many wild beasts on the South Star Plain, and there are also demonic beasts, there are really not many that can threaten humans. We are forced to do this, because we must know that some things are more ferocious and cruel than wild beasts. ”

Lin Tao, who didn't understand what Logar meant, looked curious and continued to listen to Logar speak.

"Although wild beasts can eat people, they can spit out bones after all, and there are fighters in the town, so ordinary beasts are not to be feared. But those people are even more hateful than wild beasts, they simply eat people and do not spit out bones. ”

"Who are those people?"

Logar smiled bitterly, "Bandits and bandits near Zambian City. ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Tao couldn't help but be surprised, "Is there still a robber on such a smoke-filled plain?"

Logar nodded and said with an angry face, "Of course." Although the town of Kazcupi is located in a very remote location, it can't escape the tracking of this group of people who eat people and don't spit out bones. ”

"Where's Zambia City?"

"Zambia City is about two hundred miles away. Just as the city of Kelsa has the title of 'City of Freedom', Zambia also has the title of 'City of Chaos'. A large number of these situations are also caused by the flight of various countries, and most of them are outlaws. They first went to the city of Kelsa, but the strict security of the city made it impossible for them to stay at all. So they migrated to Zambian City. Zambia has no law and order force at all, and it is simply a demonic land full of thieves and robbers. In the vicinity of Zambian City, there are a large number of horse thieves and robbers, because of the fierce competition, they compete to migrate long distances to small towns or villages hundreds of miles away to rob. That's why we're going to shut down the whole town. Logar's voice was full of helplessness and bitterness.

Lin Tao sighed, and then understood the whole story. He didn't expect that the environment in Zambia City would be so sinister, and the robbers there would go to Kazichubi, hundreds of miles away, to rob in order to make a living, and they were really poor and crazy.

For Logar, the topic seemed a bit heavy, and he didn't want to waste more saliva on such a topic that made people feel bad. Instead, he turned around and smiled at Lin Tao and said, "Let's go, go in and drink a glass of water and rest." ”

The big man who opened the iron door was stunned when he saw Lin Tao for the first time, and then looked at Lin Tao with a vigilant expression, and asked Logar: "Uncle Logar, where did this kid come from?"

Logar glared at him, and said angrily: "Put away your uneasy expression, people are not robbers." ”

He smiled embarrassedly when he opened the door, and then returned to his place.

It seems that here, Lin Tao sighed again in his heart, it seems that the robbers have definitely brought a lot of pain to the residents of Kazchupi Town, causing it to linger like a nightmare.

Bai Dian's four snow-white hooves followed Lin Tao slowly into the town of Kazquibi, its eyes full of vigilance and constantly scanning the surrounding environment and people.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

For the small town of Kazcupi, where few guests come, Lin Tao's appearance has undoubtedly caused a lot of excitement.

The small town of Kazcupi is very small, not to mention the small town, but in fact it is not much bigger than the village, and there are dozens or hundreds of households in total. So what's going on always spreads very quickly.

No, in just a moment, Lin Tao's appearance caused a large number of local residents to stop and watch.

Men, women, young and old, all stood at their doorways and watched Lin Tao's every move with vigilant eyes, which made Lin Tao somewhat uncomfortable.

Logar busily greeted the townsfolk and told them to go back to their homes. At the same time, he noticed Lin Tao's discomfort, and comforted him with a smile: "They have no malicious intent, it's just that they are devastated under the clutches of robbers and are not suitable for outsiders to arrive for a while." What's more, Kazchupi is like a flat boat in the sea on the vast South Star Plain, and the small ones are almost negligible. Usually no one walks here, and even if you find Kazchupi, you usually can't get in. You're lucky today, and if I hadn't come back from hunting, you wouldn't have been able to get in. ”

Hearing Logar say this, Lin Tao's expression was a little better. He looked back at Logar's empty hands, there was nothing but the glittering trident fork, and naturally he had caught no prey.

"Didn't you catch the prey today?" Lin Tao asked.

Logar sighed and shook his head, "Every autumn, the beasts on the Southstar Plains migrate in the direction of the city of Kelser, and the number of beasts that can be caught is extremely rare. ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Tao remembered that it was no wonder that there were fewer and fewer beasts on the way here, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why is there such a situation?"

"I don't know, since I was born here, when my fathers hunted together, there has been such a situation. For many years, the beasts migrated back here in the spring and to the city of Caelsar in the fall. ”

"And what about your winter food. ”

Logar smiled, "This has been the case for many years, and we naturally have a way to deal with it." There was a storage depot in the town, and when spring came, we would hunt some more game and throw it in for the winter. ”

Lin Tao nodded, it seems that the residents of Kazchupie Town are having a very difficult time. Originally, in the Nanxing Plain, which has fertile land, food must not be worried. But it was precisely because of the rampant bandits that it was obviously unrealistic to farm, so they had to hunt for a living.

In the chat that followed, Lin Tao learned that the residents of Kazcupi Town were trying to survive. In such a town, with a population of no more than three hundred, all men between the ages of sixteen and fifty were to form a hunting party to hunt. This is the only way to ensure the daily food consumption of the whole town. What Lin Tao didn't expect was that Logar turned out to be the mayor of the town, and this time he went out of the town to hunt alone and was in a hurry to do so. Just because spring was coming soon, he was going to see if the beasts were migrating back from the distant city of Kelsa.

Obviously, the afterglow of the Sangsang Festival has not yet subsided from the small town of Kazchubi, but the atmosphere of the festival has long been lost in every household. Every spring they have a lot of work to do, and they need to store a lot of food during this season to cope with the rest of the year.

The two walked along the path all the way, and after a while, they came to the door of a house, and Logar said to Lin Tao with a smile, "This is my home, welcome to be a guest." ”

Lin Tao nodded with a smile and expressed his gratitude.

As soon as he entered the door of Logar's house, Lin Tao felt a new juku. Seven or eight people were squeezed out of the huge room. These include Logar's two sons and a daughter, his wife and two elderly parents, plus Lin Tao is exactly eight people.

The room was small, eight people stood in it, and there was not even room for movement.

Lin Tao slowly looked at the furnishings in the room and found that they were all rusty iron tools that had been used for I don't know how many years. Even the table where he ate was covered with thick layers of dust.

Logar was thoughtful, and when he saw Lin Tao's expression, he knew what Lin Tao was thinking, and he said without hypocrisy at the moment: "The conditions at home are a little difficult, and you can't compare with a big city like Kailsa City, so you will go down." Speaking of this, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the large dining table behind him and said, "There are few plants on the male plain, let alone big trees. So even if the carpenters in town can make good furniture, we can't provide the materials. ”

Lin Tao nodded, didn't say anything, just a little heavy. He couldn't imagine how the family had survived in such a difficult environment.

Logar's family was surprised and excited to see outsiders coming. Just looking at Logar's treatment of Lin Tao, it is natural that he will not look at Lin Tao with vigilant eyes like other townspeople.

Logar's eldest son is already twenty years old, which is the same age as Lin Tao. He looked extremely strong all year round, his naked upper body muscles were tangled, and when he saw Lin Tao, who was about the same age as himself, he just smiled kindly. Logar's second daughter and youngest son were dressed in shabby clothes. The second daughter also has a shirt on her body as a daughter, and the youngest son is about seven or eight years old, but he is still bare-chested and bare-chested, looking at Lin Tao with a curious face.

As the mayor of the town, Logar's wife is naturally not bad, she is a woman with some appearance, but her face has been tortured by life and is full of frost and wrinkles, and even her sideburns are a little white. And his two elderly parents are even more skinny and trembling.

When people reach old age, they naturally cannot eat meat all day long like young people, not only can they not eat it, but it will be counterproductive.
