Chapter 52 Although the wine is good, don't be greedy for a cup
Xue Xuan stared at Sima Yichen stiffly, his tone was very serious, sour and rancid, referring to people like Sima Yichen.
"The Walking Dead...... It's dangerous, what should I say?"
Zhou Peiquan was a little confused, with a wry smile on his face, mentioning the walking corpse, even he, an iron-blooded sergeant, would shudder, but he still didn't understand what Xue Xuan wanted him to say.
"How many soldiers were there in the city?"
Xue Xuan didn't answer him, but instead asked another question that was unrelated.
"Although Zhenyuan City is a border pass, there has been no war in the past fifty years, and our Eastern Continent has a long territory, even if foreign enemies seek death and invade, it is not a terrible thing to occupy a Zhenyuan City, so there are only two thousand standing soldiers and horses. ”
Zhou Peiquan became more and more confused, but he still answered Xue Xuan's question truthfully.
"There are nearly 400 soldiers who followed the original town and far city lord to do evil, and 500 of you are on standby, where are the 1,100 soldiers?"
Xue Xuan was clearly organized, and Zhou Peiquan's face turned a little pale under repeated questions.
"They all died in battle with the walking dead, and not at the hands of the walking dead, but at the hands of their own people.
The walking corpse is extremely strong in combat and extremely difficult, and what is even more difficult is that as long as it is hurt by the walking corpse in the slightest, it will be assimilated and infected......"
Zhou Peiquan now understood what Xue Xuan wanted him to say, and explained the walking corpse very thoroughly.
"Even those of you who are good at fighting at the far border of the town have lost more than half of them, not to mention the other armies, not to mention the countless civilians of the Eastern Continent. ”
Xue Xuan cleared his throat, his voice was a little hoarse when he was emotional.
"To tell you the truth, now at least more than seven-tenths of the mortals in the entire world have turned into walking corpses, and if you want to support Zhenyuan City, I'm afraid it will take a long, long time, and you still want the will!"
Xue Xuan even stood up when he said that he was angry, for the inference of seven out of tenths, it was not that he came out of his mouth, but that he deduced that a city as prosperous and huge as Tongcheng, with such unyielding people, the responsible Fu City Lord and the resourceful Fang Tangjing, only survived more than a hundred people in the end......
And how many walking corpses are there in the city? hundreds of thousands?
No matter how many, 7 out of 10 will only be more, not less.
And Sima Yichen's face was pale when he choked, he only read the books of sages and sages, how could he know so many things.
The scene was silent, and Xue Xuan also noticed that he was a little out of shape, and sat down awkwardly.
......
"Ahem, with the amount of grain in Zhenyuan City now, it can only last half a year according to the minimum standard, what should I do after half a year?"
Zhou Peiquan coughed, breaking the embarrassing and cold scene.
"Can you farm near Zhenyuan City?"
Xue Xuan didn't have any good way to deal with this problem, he didn't even think about where his parents would settle down, how could he have the heart to think about the future of the people in Zhenyuan City.
"No, firstly because the soil is barren, and secondly because of the lack of water. ”
Zhou Peiquan shook his head slightly, and then looked at Xue Xuan, as if he had regarded him as the backbone.
"Look at what I'm doing, I can't even plant the land, I want to stay here and starve to death? If you want to live, you can only migrate, you can decide where to go!"
Seeing Zhou Peiquan's gaze towards him, Xue Xuan was a little weak-hearted, and said angrily, why didn't everyone move their brains and just wait for him to come up with an idea?
"If you need to be self-sufficient in farming, Qingshuihe Village next to Xuejia Village is good, and the two villages can communicate with each other and support each other. ”
It was Sima Yichen who spoke up, and his face returned to calm and he said that there was a most suitable place, although he didn't understand military affairs or combat, but it didn't mean that he was useless.
In the subsequent discussions, Xue Xuan rarely spoke out, and most of them were arguments between Zhou Peiquan and Sima Yichen.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he threw a look at the silent Ming next to him, who didn't need him to open his mouth to know what he meant, and the two of them stood up together and prepared to leave the barracks to go out to breathe.
Seeing the two of them standing up, Ling Yongkang, who was lying on the stretcher, was also anxious, and also cast a look at Xue Xuan asking for a group, but he had been suffering here for a long time, and he was neither interested nor understanding about these things they discussed.
Seeing Ling Yongkang's appearance, Xue Xuan had no choice but to put his arm on his body and help him go out for a walk.
......
"I'm tired, these things are more troublesome than fighting......"
Xue Xuan sighed, he still prefers the life of wandering the world, stopping and stopping on the road, and calming things with guns when encountering injustices.
Even Xue Xuan felt troublesome about these things, let alone Yiming, he could only shrug his shoulders and express sympathy.
Several people walked all the way around and finally returned to Linlang's home.
"Eh, that old way that can only blow nonsense is gone?"
Xue Xuan looked inside the house and found that he didn't find the figure of Pudaoren, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, you said he was dangerous, how did you know that?"
Yi Ming, who had been silent, saw Xue Xuan mention the Taoist priest, so he asked, and he didn't see anything unusual about this Taoist priest from beginning to end.
"This ...... I'll talk to you later. ”
Xue Xuan didn't expect Yiming to suddenly ask this, so he had to make a fool, it was not that he was unwilling to be honest, but that he didn't know what the mysterious soul in his body was, and there was a Ling Yongkang beside him.
"Look at this ......"
Yiming understands Xue Xuan very well, everyone has everyone's secrets, his life experience, his master and other things are never willing to mention to Xue Xuan.
He was surprised to see a stick of incense on the ground.
A stick of incense is common, but this pillar of incense is inserted on a stone slab.
There were no gaps in the slate, and the incense was not damaged in any way.
"This ......"
Xue Xuan helped Ling Yongkang to squat down, carefully examining this pillar of incense, if it was him, he would definitely not be able to do it without cracking the slate and folding the incense, but inserting this pillar of incense completely on the slate.
This can only be done by a person who has an incomparably accurate grasp of power, and this pillar of incense is inserted here, and he can even feel a mysterious and mysterious artistic conception.
"I saw an indomitable sword intent. ”
Yi Ming's expression was serious, when did such a powerful swordsman come to Zhenyuan City? There was even a trace of battle intent in his heart.
"What I see is compassion, compassion for the old people. ”
Ling Yongkang is different, since his family was broken, he rarely speaks and rarely communicates with others, hidden in the dark, so he is more sensitive to emotions.
"It's the avenue, it's the momentum, it's the ...... A lot of things, can't put ...... words."
Xue Xuan was surprised that the two of them could answer so affirmatively, in his eyes, this pillar of incense was full of various emotions and meanings, he couldn't tell, this might be because he had cultivated the Yue Yuan Sutra.
But there is one thing he still sees very clearly, just like Yiming said, the moment the incense is inserted, it is a firm, resolute, unstoppable, and indomitable momentum.
"Brother Ling, why are you up, I'll help you go to rest!"
At this time, Linlang happened to come out of the house, and saw the three of them standing at the door looking at a stick of incense, looking very curious, but her mind was more on Ling Yongkang.
Xue Xuan smiled, the two of them seem to have a story!
......
After helping Ling Yongkang back into the house, Xue Xuan and the others quietly left Linlang's house, walked out of the city, and quietly left Zhenyuan City.
There isn't much food in the city, so let's save a little for them.
And Xue Xuan is not good at this kind of entertainment, let alone Yiming, the two of them are leaving at the right time at this time, so as not to hurt the hearts of the people and not waste their food.
"Any wine?"
The two of them walked comfortably on the way home, and Xue Xuan couldn't help but think of last night.
"Although the wine is good, don't be greedy for a cup. ”
Yiming didn't take it out, nor did he answer if he had it, but replied with a puzzling sentence.
"Hey, last night I bragged that the killing would pass, and it was not dawn when I took the head of the town lord of the far city and returned, but I didn't expect it to be completed, but it was almost night. ”
Xue Xuan sighed, his parents should be very worried about him.
......
What he didn't expect was that when he returned home, Xue's father and Xue's mother actually played happily with Xiao Shitong again!
Seeing that Xue Xuan was back, he only glanced at him lightly, then turned his head and continued to play with Xiao Shi Tong.
“???”
Forget it, Xue Xuan walked to the kitchen and found that he didn't even have dinner!
Xue Xuan, who was depressed in his heart, wanted to find Yiming to cry, but he didn't expect Yiming to sit cross-legged on the bed and prepare to cultivate as soon as Yiming came back.
Knowing that he was a cultivator, Xue Xuan just asked him for a Bigu Dan, and sat on the ridge of the field and watched the setting sun.
Huangzhou, Zhenhai Prefecture.
Where to go?
Because it will be a long time to wait for the seeds to be planted after settling down, it is important to make a decision as soon as possible and sow the seeds as soon as possible.
Swallowing Bigu Dan into his stomach and feeling the warm feeling of satiety, Xue Xuan sat on the ridge of the field with satisfaction, and suddenly saw a butterfly fluttering around.
"You're still happy!"
Xue Xuan smiled and stretched out his hand in anticipation that the butterfly would stop on his palm, but it was obviously his whim, the butterfly shook in front of him and then flapped its wings and flew away.
"How's Zhenyuan City?"
Father Xue walked over and sat next to Xue Xuan and handed Xue Xuan a bowl.
In the bowl was Xue Xuan's favorite noodles when he was a child, and the hot appearance was obviously specially made just now.
"Hmm, it's delicious!"
Xue Xuan sucked the noodles and slowly told his father the story from last night to today.
"Dad, where do you want to go?"
After emptying the bowl of noodles, he put the bowl down, told his father about his two thoughts, and then asked his opinion.
"Daddy doesn't want to go anywhere. ”
Father Xue shook his head and looked at Xue Xuan with a smile in his eyes, as if he knew that he had a third thought.
"It's safer here, but it's a bit harder. ”
Xue Xuan not only saw the smile in his father's eyes, but also that trace of stubbornness, which could be seen from the time he resigned as the city lord, and finally came back to Xuejia Village to be a farmer, which showed his thoughts, even if he couldn't escape in the future, he would die in Xuejia Village.
"I've experienced more suffering, what is this suffering......
You don't have to worry about me and your mother, you just need to focus on your business. ”
As a father, he actually knows his son better than anyone else, this kid is stubborn and stubborn, and he is quite similar to when he was young, but he doesn't want Xue Xuan to be too involved in mundane things, and his parents always hope that their son can turn into a dragon.
He's certainly no exception.
"Of course, I hope that my father and mother can live happily and without encountering any danger. ”。
Xue Xuan paused for a moment, and then smiled and said what he had been pursuing.
Father Xue didn't refute, patted Xue Xuan on the shoulder, then took the empty bowl, stood up and walked home.
