Chapter 270: Little Cottage
Some people talked, and naturally they didn't feel bored all the way, and Lou Yi's originally depressed mood slowly calmed down, and there was no landscape to see along the way, but there was a depressed scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are almost no noteworthy places here except for weeds and trees, it seems that they did not find a suitable place when they left the boundary of the Beiwu Sect, and Lou Yi seems to be able to guess that their cottage must not be a big village.
After a while, everyone came to the foot of a mountain peak, and a village appeared in front of Lou Yi's eyes, scattered buildings, all over the village, and simple wooden walls could only play a limited role in protection.
Lou Yi sighed in his heart, and he guessed it, but he didn't expect that the cottage in reality was even more unbearable than he imagined, not even one-third of Yangjiatun, a generation of legendary figures, why did he end up in such a field.
However, these mountain bandits didn't seem to be dissatisfied, but because they were back here, they seemed extremely happy, Lou Yi didn't speak, and then Mrs. Hongguo asked, "Do you think it's miserable here?"
Lou Yi nodded without thinking, but then he looked embarrassed again, and wanted to defend something, but she stretched out her hand to stop her, her eyes looked at this small cottage, and said unhurriedly, "This is already the maximum limit I can try to maintain." ”
Lou Yi didn't know why, at this time there was a sudden sound in the cottage, and then from the houses of these villages, a large number of villagers walked out, Lou Yi's expression was stunned, he saw a lot of villagers, who had not cultivated, and they were all women, children, old and young.
At this time, he understood what the old man had just said, with so many non-combat forces, they must have suffered huge losses at the beginning, it seems that Zhang Leshan had carried out a bloody suppression of Mrs. Hongguo at the beginning, not as the rumors said, they left the Beiwu Sect boundary by themselves.
Being able to escape from the joint suppression of Zhang Leshan, Xu Mingyuan, and Liu Heiqi, you can imagine how much price was paid at the beginning, the old man's expression was a little depressed, but then returned to normal, she smiled and waved her hand, and said to him, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Lou Yi nodded, and followed her into the cottage, which was even poorer than he imagined, Lou Yi seemed to understand the reason, Zhang Leshan would not allow people who threatened his existence to live, so Zhao Hongwenguo could only give up those suitable places for survival and reproduction, and came to this poor and remote land.
This is a helpless choice, this is no way to do it, Lou Yi sighed deeply, thinking of the original Qianxian Lou, because he was forced to leave Qingping County, and because the Hua family was pressing step by step, he had to find another way out......
With a little helplessness, Lou Yi walked into this small village, he saw the yellow-faced and thin-skinned child, the panting old woman, the smiling women and children, and the sad man.
The barren land is planted with some crops, but because there is no spiritual vein to support them, these crops are wilting, although they can solve the urgent need, but the lack of spiritual energy is so far, you can foresee what the future will look like.
He suddenly understood the purpose of Mrs. Hongguo wanting him to come here, this was an exchange, Lou Yi's heart was much more settled, at least there was no worry about his life, and then it depended on what conditions the other party wanted.
Just as he was looking at the environment here, several children ran over slowly, and Lou Yi suddenly felt a little distressed, because these children's physique was very poor, in addition to the lack of aura in the food, but also because their bodies were too weak.
Even if this kind of child grows up to the age of eight, he will not be able to open the spiritual veins smoothly, and when the time comes, he can only become the ordinary people at the bottom of the world.
Because this is the Helian Mountain Range, surrounded by monsters and beasts, poisonous insects are waiting for the opportunity to move, there are too many things that can kill them, Lou Yi couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for these children.
Because of the lack of aura, most of the trees and wheat grass used to build houses here are very low-level existences, but Lou Yi doesn't understand, there are obviously a lot of people in their village, why don't they send people out to find better materials......
Mrs. Hong Guo observed his reaction all the way, and saw that he was calm from beginning to end, and couldn't help but look up to him a few points, not being surprised is a very good quality, and being able to maintain an indifferent attitude when life and death are facing a threat, which itself requires a strong ability to bear.
The children looked at Lou Yi timidly, they didn't dare to go too far ahead, their clothes were very shabby, and several babies looked at him from a distance, looking frightened.
It seems that the previous cruel experience made them suffer the pressure of not matching their age prematurely, Lou Yi thought of himself, and thought of the original Qingping catastrophe, but he was only three years old at the time, and when he woke up, the catastrophe had already ended.
He was taken to Haoxue Sect and met the first noble man in his life, Grandpa Xiao Guan, and all the things he experienced later told him that he must be vigilant at all times, be grateful at all times, and not let it go at any time.
Because he has no backer, everything can only rely on himself, so many years of hard work, so that his will has become firm, he can, these babies can also, Lou Yi silently opened the storage bag and took out some food full of aura, which he brought before entering the mountain.
Several children drooled, staring at the goose leg in his hand, but no one dared to take a step forward, Lou Yi shook the goose leg, showed a harmless smile, and said, "Come here, take it and eat it." ”
The children were indifferent, but Lou Yi heard them swallowing saliva and the sound of their stomachs gurgling, at this time Mrs. Hong Guo said, "Take it, this is the noble man of our village." ”
When several children heard her voice, they rushed over, and Lou Yi handed them one each, but soon the goose legs were gone, and he took out some chicken legs and bacon jerky, and gave them all.
Looking at their gobbling up, Lou Yi didn't know how to describe his current mood, a child grabbed the goose leg in his hand first, and continued to look at him with expectant eyes.
At this time, almost all the cooked food on Lou Yi's body was killed by these little guys, he walked quickly to the square and said to Mrs. Hong Guo, "Can you give me a bigger pot?"
Mrs. Hong Guo immediately ordered someone to prepare, and in a short time there was a thick pile of firewood on the square, and a large black pot was placed directly above the firewood, supported by three rolling logs thick by one person.
Lou Yi stood in front of the cauldron and boiled the spiritual rice on his body, mixed with the meat of the mane fangs he had hunted at the beginning, into a pot of fragrant spiritual rice porridge, thinking that this was how he ate it when he was in the outer gate chores.
It's just that at the beginning, he ate low-grade spiritual rice and used the meat of ordinary beasts, but now he uses medium-grade spiritual rice, and he cooks the meat of second-grade demon beasts, which is not the same.
He took out a large amount of monkey head brew from the water bag given to him by the son of the monkey king, and mixed it with the remaining rice wine on his body, and distributed it to the people who could drink wine in the village, and everyone gathered around the bonfire, eating meat porridge and drinking fine wine.
It seems that they have forgotten their suffering for a while, forgotten their poverty at the moment, they smile very innocently, and a full bite of food may be their greatest ideal at the moment.
Lou Yi drank lightly, because he knew that there must be important things to discuss later, he couldn't get himself drunk, a pot of meat porridge was quickly consumed, Lou Yi cooked another pot, and there were cheers from the scene.
The children's little faces began to flush, I don't know if it was because of the spiritual porridge, or because of the bonfire, but in short, they smiled very sweetly, really sweet......
At this time, Zhao Tong was sitting next to Mrs. Hongguo, this girl seemed to have a very good opinion of him, looking at him with a look full of hostility, of course not real hostility, this feeling can not be described in words, more like a kind of stubbornness not to admit defeat.
Mrs. Hongguo beckoned to him, Lou Yi knew that it was time to talk about business, he sat down and faced each other face to face, Zhao Tong got up and walked away, Mrs. Hongguo said, "Is there anything you want to say?"
Lou Yi was silent for a moment, then sorted out his thoughts and got straight to the point, "If I'm not wrong in my estimate, in less than five years, most of these people will die here......"
Mrs. Hong Guo nodded, looking at the cheering crowd, there was a touch of weakness in her eyes, she sighed and said, "Zhang Leshan is too terrifying, your newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, this is understandable, but against him, only these people you are currently afraid of not enough......"
"What do you mean?" Lou Yi asked.
"You should know very well who you are, right?" asked Mrs. Hong Guo instead of answering him.
Lou Yi nodded, from the time she treated him like this before, Lou Yi had already expected it, Mrs. Hongguo sighed and said, "We orphans and widows don't have any other skills, if you want to deal with Zhang Leshan, the old man and my son can wish you a hand!"
Lou Yi knew that he couldn't refuse, not because of the other party's threat, but because the current living environment of these people was too bad, which made him really unbearable, and the fear in the child's eyes reminded him of his helplessness at the beginning.
Since Grandpa Xiao can treat himself well, why can't he follow suit, there are always many helpless choices in life, when he can, pull the other party, he is still very willing to do this.
At this time, there was a sound outside the stockade, and about one hundred and ten people came back from outside the stockade, and the leader was a man of all thirty years old, with sharp muscles, eyes like a giant, and an extraordinary temperament.
It's just that his expression is a little tired at the moment, and the people behind him are carrying some prey, but these hundred and ten people look like they are all injured, and they look like old injuries.
The man saw the bonfire in the square, and ordered someone to come over with the prey, and Lou Yi found that except for the person who was the leader, who was in the early stage of cultivation, most of the rest were people who had just built the foundation.
The highest cultivation was only the fifth layer of the foundation, and he was still injured, looking very weak, the man went straight to Mrs. Hongguo and him, and saluted respectfully, "Mother, the child is back." ”
Mrs. Hongguo glanced at him and said, "Son, look who's coming......"
