Xuanyuan Ming and the black dog beast walked forward for another hour, and they saw a prosperous continent rising in the steam.

Isn't this another mirage? Xuanyuan Ming rubbed his eyes and looked ahead.

I saw that the continent was coiled across the surface, spreading along the horizon all the way to the point where it was invisible to the naked eye. Fang knows the vastness of this continent.

This is the Northern Continent. In the middle of that continent, there are majestic and continuous mountains, and there are lakes, seas and rivers that flow down from the snow-capped mountains of Baitou and the rivers that converge. The farmland here is green, golden, and yellow.

The green is newly planted rice, the golden is ear-bearing wheat, and the yellow is a type of Fukuzawa rice that is unique to Fukuzawa, and small yellow flowers bloom between the grains, and the flowers fall with the grain.

The book says that in the northern continent, there will be a light rain every three days, and a heavy rain every nine days. It is these sources of water that nourish a continent.

Xuanyuan Ming walked forward, and he saw the wind blowing wheat waves on the hills in the distance, as if he could see the wheat stalks being bent in patches, as if he could hear the sound of wheat grains. It was a wheat field facing the wind and thanking for the life of this season.

Ming walked forward again, and saw a small city-state. Although the city-state has no walls, it has a clear dividing line, with a bare stone wasteland on one side and a green city on the other, which is bustling with traffic.

The city-state has a symbolic city gate, and the words "Shuijiangnan" are written on the stone slab of the city gate.

It's really a poetic name, and I don't know which literati and ink writers came here to give this small town such an elegant name.

Xuanyuan Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth and walked in.

There is a wide stone road in front of the city gate in the south of the water river. Xuanyuan Ming stepped on the road and walked into the south gate of the Shuijiang River from the road. There's a market opening inside. I saw that there were several rows of doors and faces set up left and right, and there were countless scattered stalls all over the ground.

There are people selling fruits, trinkets, cattle and a few recruiting stations.

"Go away, go away, get out of the way. ”

Shi Ming was attracted by the vision, and he couldn't move his steps in front of the city gate for a long time, so he was urged by the visitors behind him.

Behind Ming came several wooden carts, each of which was neatly filled with young men. Look at their dark skin, they are all dressed in rags and linen. It seems that they are all the sons of ordinary people from other places, who come here thousands of miles to beg for a living.

There were also some middle-aged men on the cart, and a few middle-aged women with tanned skin, holding babies in their arms. I guess I came here with my man.

The driver behind him was urging again, and Ming hurriedly got out of the way.

Ming looked at the people on the cart with curiosity. The people on the cart looked at him with delight, and at the same time at the same time all the novelty of the city.

"Boss Zhou, you are here, the tea has been prepared in the field, please come with me. A man in a dark coat greeted him with a smile from inside the city gate.

"You're welcome. I had a total of 10 trucks and 200 people here, and they were transported from Jiangnan, all of them were unharmed, and they arrived here smoothly in 10 days. Then let's drive over and go to the station. ”

"Okay, please. ”

So ten carts drove with the greeter to the east side of the city.

It turned out that it was a farmer recruiting workers. Xuanyuan is clear.

"Sell water, sell water, do you want a cup from the boss?"

Very close to Xuanyuanming, there is a tea stall. When the tea seller saw Xuanyuan Ming coming from the wasteland, he peddled tea to Xuanyuan Ming.

"How much is a bowl?" asked Xuanyuanming. At this time, the black dog beast sat next to him.

"One bowl for one article, will the boss have a bowl?" asked the tea boss.

"I don't have any money. A few words came out of Ming's mouth.

"There's no money, what are you talking nonsense here! Go and go, the laborer is over there, don't pestle in front of my stall. After that, the owner of the tea stall waved his hand to drive Xuanyuan Ming away.

"Tea boss, be polite. It is not easy for people to travel thousands of miles to our bird place. "On an unlicensed stall next to the tea stall, there was a man standing with his hands crossed. He looked ruffian, with yellow-black skin and a nest of fryer-hot brown fur on top of his head.

"Hello, come and sit here, I'm polite. The owner of the stall smiled and beckoned Xuanyuan Ming to come over, and then served tea.

"Please, get me a cup for the dog brother next to me. Xuanyuan Ming said.

"How are you black dog beast, do you sell it?" said the stall owner as he brought the tea bowl to the black dog beast.

"Not for sale. ”

However, seeing that his forehead and eyes were not opened, it was not a good character. The stall owner stared at the black dog beast, "Sell—I guess it won't sell for a few bucks." ”

"Not for sale. ”

"Hehehe. The stall owner smiled thief, "Brother, are you here to find a job?"

Xuanyuan Ming didn't have a good impression of this boss, so he only drank tea and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ming didn't speak, the stall owner said, "We can recruit any worker." Peasants, craftsmen, coolies?" the stall owner tentatively asked Xuanyuan what he could do.

"Look at your down-and-out appearance, you can't be a money manager, a foreman, or a doctor. ”

Hearing the word "doctor", Xuanyuan Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's a doctor." ”

He thought, once he comes, he will be safe, and he will eat first when he adapts.

"Doctors, what we lack most is doctors. The stall owner clapped his hands happily with an exaggerated expression.

"Do you want to be assessed?" asked Ming.

"No, you see that they all have to be assessed there, but I don't need it here. ”

Ming raised his head and looked, there were really many stalls recruiting workers around. Each has its own stall for tea and other things. Each stall has a linen cloth spread on the ground, and the requirements for recruitment are written on it. Some write, including three meals and lodging, and earn 100 taels a year. Some wrote, urgently recruiting rice farmers, and the wages were negotiable.

"Why do they all have a notice, but you don't?" asked Xuanyuan Ming, puzzled.

"I don't need it! What is my name, what is it called, Mrs. Li takes the bait!" Hahaha!" the stall owner let out a hearty laugh.

Xuanyuan Ming silently ate tea.

"Don't look at how well they write, just watch the people abuse you after they go. If you have to eat, I'm afraid you won't have time to eat. The stall owner said to himself. "Eh, have you heard, the North is starting to haunt you, and I've heard that the ghost will bite people off and throw them into the air and tear them to pieces. And whoever works hard, the ghost will entangle whomever he wants. Anyway, don't go to them, listen to me. "The stall owner's mouth is foaming, and it is amazing.

Suddenly, a crowd broke in from the right side of the bazaar, and they were arresting people with portraits of sinners. Another painting floated down the wind to Xuanyuanming's feet. Ming picked it up and saw that the portrait was actually himself!

It seems that there has been a move in the palace, and with him stepping on the land of the north, the guards who arrested him have also followed.

Xuanyuan Ming hurriedly grabbed a handful of yellow mud from the ground and smeared it on his face.

"Isn't this just—you!" said the stall owner in surprise, pointing at Xuanyuan Ming and pointing at him.

Suddenly, a crowd broke in from the other side of the market. He also grabbed people everywhere and pasted a paper painting portrait on the wall. Under the portrait is written, a bounty is offered to hunt down the fierce bandits.

Xuanyuan Ming looked at it again, although the person in the portrait had a little more mole on his mouth than the one in front of him, but the two looked like a person.

"You-" Xuanyuan Ming pointed at the stall owner.

"You're not a good person. Don't hurry up and run!" said the stall owner and pulled Xuanyuan Ming to the back of the market. The black canine beast was like a stupid dog at this time, and when it saw Ming Run, it also ran wildly.

"He's chasing here!" Seeing two young men running away in the bazaar, two teams of men and horses came to chase after him.

Chickens and dogs jumped in the market, and cattle and pigs fled.

"Oops, I'm scared to death!" the stall owner fled with Ming to a mountain forest behind the market, where the two and a dog were hiding in a ruined temple.

The stall owner leaned against the wall, and Xuanyuan Ming and the Black Dog Beast stood by the door at this time, panting and looking outside the door.

Belch...

The stall owner, who was sitting on the floor against the wall, tore off his shirt, revealing his solid upper body muscles. At the same time, I saw that he had been stabbed in the abdomen, and blood was gushing out.

"You're hurt. ”

"It's okay, I ran too fast and was chopped a few times by the guards. It's good to run fast, otherwise you'll be chopped into minced meat!hahaha. With that, the stall owner laughed wildly with a painful gasp.

"You're a bandit?"

"You're not a good person either. ”

"I'm not like you. With that, Ming turned around and prepared to break out of the door alone. But he heard that there were guards outside who had found him by the mound under the ruined temple. They searched the grass with their swords, and the long knives in their hands glittered with silver.

"Get me out, I'll give you whatever you want. The bandit said.

Ignore him.

"You're a doctor, you can't die without help. "The thief stabbed Xuanyuan Ming with words.

"Have you ever killed someone?" asked Ming with a cold face.

"Does it count to have killed a profiteer?" replied the bandit with a smile.

"Are you doing anything wrong?" asked Ming again.

"I've done a lot of bad things, but they're all good and good!" replied the thief.

Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the door, "Found it! Here it is!" Two teams of guards surrounded the ruined temple and were about to attack it.

"Hey. Xuanyuan Ming sighed, stepped in front of the bandit, and carried him on his shoulder. He turned his face to the black dog beast and said, "Brother dog, let's rush out!"

So Xuanyuan Ming picked up the bandit and jumped out of the temple gate. Those guards with knives were about to come to arrest people, but they were bitten in half by the black dog beast that sprang out from behind Ming.

"Brother Dog, that's enough, come back. Ming ran hundreds of meters away with the bandit bleeding from his abdomen on his back, and shouted after running away.

Xuanyuan Ming pulled out his legs and ran behind the mountain, breaking into a dark and dense forest. The trees in the forest were so tall that they covered the day, and Ming found a mound and crouched down on the back.

Ming put the bandits on the ground.

"You're still bleeding, I'll bandage you. ”

"Thank you. The thief covered his abdomen with his hands, and his face turned white from blood loss.

"Pressing on the wound will hurt more, do you have to bite a piece of cloth?"

"No, minor injury. The bandit gritted his teeth and grinned.

So Ming took off his shirt, tore the sackcloth into strips, and tied up the bleeding wounds of the bandits.

Belch... There was a groan of pain from the bandit's throat, but then he laughed again, his teeth trembling and his facial muscles twitching.

"Today is really... Don't fight, don't know each other. The bandit said.

"Don't speak. ”

After a while, Ming bandaged the bandit's wound and asked, "Do you know how to get out of this forest?" ”

"Yes, you send me back. ”

"How to get there. ”

So Ming carried the bandits on his back and re-embarked on the road, running to the mountain behind the mountain, the den of the bandits.
