Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Coastal Event
When I entered the city, the scene in front of me changed suddenly.
Most of the houses in the city are adobe houses, and the streets are clean.
There are few pedestrians, and even fewer people do business.
And in addition to these, it is very close to the city in Ink Marks' mind.
The big man on the city tower got down from the city tower and led the group to the city.
The great man's name was Yao Tong, and he was the centurion in charge of the defense of the east gate.
Yao Tong walked all the way, introducing everyone to this city called Binhai all the way.
Marina City, hundreds of years old. In the beginning, it was just a small village, and Yao Tong's ancestors were the chiefs of this tribe.
Over the past few hundred years, the contact between the surrounding tribes has gradually deepened, and they have begun to communicate with each other, and there will often be marriages between tribes, and the gap between tribes has been greatly narrowed after a year.
Over time, there was Marina City.
"Don't you know, our coastal city, when the population was the largest, it had already broken 100,000.
If it weren't for those damn beasts, our coastal city would be a paradise on earth.
But don't worry, the walls we've worked so hard to build are enough to keep most of the beasts out of the city. ”
Yao Tong's tone was proud and proud.
Mo Xuan also followed his words and echoed his voice.
Yao Tong also told Mojixuan that anyone who entered the city from the outside would get a piece of wasteland as long as they identified themselves.
With Mojixuan, their group was finally able to get two acres and three points of land.
On the wasteland, only shelters and food cultivation were allowed.
Because of the mutation of wild beasts, hunting has become a very dangerous thing now, so meat is scarce in the city.
Yao Tong looked at Erha and said, "You have this big dog, it should be no problem to hunt." Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the hard currency in our city is meat.
As long as you can get meat, you can live a good life. ”
Coming to the allotted wasteland, Mo Jixuan pointed to a larger piece of wasteland next to him and asked, "You just said that meat is hard currency, so look at it, if I want to bring this whole piece of land, how much meat will I need?"
Yao Tong thought for a while and said, "If you can get 10,000 catties of meat, then this place belongs to you!"
Mo Zhenxuan looked at him, and couldn't help but smash his mouth, who said that straight men don't have flowery intestines? It's just that they don't have a place.
There are only about twenty acres of wasteland ahead, and more than half of it is a small hillside.
Feeling Mo Zhenxuan's gaze, Yao Tong's old face turned red and said, "Actually, I can't do it so much, it's just that my brother who guards the city hasn't seen meat for too long."
I thought I had to make up for them, and if the beasts attacked again and they didn't have the strength, then it would be a big deal!
And I think your big dog itself should not be small, and this 10,000 catties of meat should be no problem for you!"
Jiang Wan walked up from behind Mo Jian Xuan, put on a pitiful look and said, "Uncle, you can take us a little less, okay!"
The little girl's dark eyes looked at Yao Tong pitifully, and her sister Jiang Yu also followed.
The eyes of the two sisters are too lethal for Yao Tong, a strong man.
I saw that he looked flustered and his breathing was disordered. Looking at the poor little girl in front of him, Yao Tong felt as if he had made a big mistake, how could he still slander people?
At the moment, he decided to reduce the number by half, but his face was even more embarrassed after speaking.
Mo Zhenxuan pulled the two sisters back behind him, and smiled at Yao Tong, "Let the brothers laugh." ”
Yao Tong touched his head and even said that it was okay.
Mo Zhenxuan changed his words and said: "Since this 10,000 catties of meat is for the brothers who defend the city, then 10,000 catties."
But first, we're not delivering all at once, we have to take our time. ”
Yao Tong looked stunned, and then solemnly hugged his fist towards Mo Jian Xuan and said: "I take the Yao family brothers, thank you Brother Mo, Brother Mo is really a heroic boy, chivalrous and courageous!"
Mo Jian Xuan said where, and then the two started a long period of business blowing each other, until both of them were embarrassed to praise.
Then, without waiting for Mojixuan to explain, Yao Qian took a few brothers and took the initiative to build a wooden house for Mojixuan.
I worked until midnight, and the simple wooden house was built.
A brazier was raised in the middle of the house, illuminating the room.
The Jiang sisters worked very hard after they started practicing, and the younger sister was okay, after all, she was still young and occasionally lazy.
As long as my sister Jiang Wan was free, she immediately entered the state of cultivation.
This girl is very intelligent and has a very strong personality. Mo Zhenxuan saw it in his eyes, but he didn't deliberately correct it.
Morning in Marina City is fast approaching.
Different from yesterday, the morning of the coastal city is undoubtedly the most lively.
Tens of thousands of people stepped out of the house to start a new day's work.
In Marina City, in addition to meat being a hard commodity, shells can also be traded as currency.
This shell is not just something that can be picked up on the beach, in addition to specific shells, it also needs to be engraved with a specific pattern by the Grand Chief of Marina City.
Ink Marks decided to get some meat tomorrow and come back to exchange for some shell coins, so that it would be convenient for life.
Before they went out, Yao Tong's voice came from afar.
"Hahaha, Brother Mo, come out quickly, brother, I'll take you to see the excitement!"
Ink Trace Xuan rushed out when he heard the sound, only to see that Yao Qian was not wearing yesterday's bone armor, and was wearing a short linen clothes.
"What are you going to see?"
Yao Tong pulled Mo Jian Xuan and said, "Brother, you just came, today is another centurion selection ceremony in our coastal city."
But any man who has some ability will fight today, and ......"
He looked left and right, and saw that Sister Jiang was not here, so he lowered his voice and said, "Moreover, there are many beautiful women at the scene, you, you have a blessed eye!"
Ink Marks was stunned for a moment, and then immediately echoed and laughed.
Yao Qian didn't see his thoughts, and thought he was happy, so he immediately dragged him out regardless of his reaction.
Erha raised his eyelids and glanced at it, but he didn't follow, opened his mouth and yawned, and continued to sleep.
The street that was not wide was already crowded with people, and Yao Tong pulled Mo Zhenxuan all the way inside.
In the middle of winter, Mo Zhenxuan was stunned to squeeze out a sweat in the crowd, but he finally reached the end of the trip.
Not far ahead, there is a wooden ring with a radius of ten feet, and two steps are placed on either side of the ring.
Behind the ring, a taller wooden platform was erected, on which a long table and five bamboo chairs were placed.
Two feet away from the ring, there were warriors wearing bone armor and holding spears.
These fighters cut off the crowd from the ring.
The shouting voices fell silent with the beat of a drum, and then a shadow walked up the stairs.
