"Because there are so many people, there is not enough food to feed everyone, so in order to reduce the quota, I hope that more people will die. ”

Lei Sheng sighed lightly, unfortunately the situation in this world was really as he guessed.

Looking at the black-skinned women in front of him, although there was a big gap with the black race, it still reminded Lei Sheng of Africa on the earth in his previous life, could it be that there were many deserts in this world?

In short, judging from the situation along the way from the Dadi Training Ground, it is true, it is barren everywhere, and it is rare to see green.

But if this is the kind of environment in this world, then how did they create such an advanced technological civilization?

"How many years has this been going on?"

"It's been like this for as long as I can remember. ”

"Any idea why this is happening?"

The older woman shook her head: "Women from civilian families don't have the right to go to school, we don't even know a few words, where can we know so many things." ”

Lei Sheng was a little speechless, he didn't expect that there was no feminism in this world, and he figured out why those robbers dared to use women as food.

"What are your plans for the future?"

The women fell silent, and the older woman suddenly thought, "Aren't you going to Wutong Mountain to learn art, let's go with you." ”

"Aren't you afraid of long distances?"

"Which of us girls has not had to go to the field to farm since childhood, and we don't have other skills, but we are definitely not afraid of hardship, young master, don't worry, we will follow you wherever you go, in short, it is good to be far away from here." ”

"Aren't you afraid that your family will miss you?"

"We've been missing for so long, they're sad even if they're sad, and it's going to be a burden on them if we rush back, so it's better not to go back. ”

Lei Sheng sighed: "Okay, if you are willing to go with me, we will set off when we are full, and if you want to go home, take some food from here and go home, you can decide what to do." ”

As a result, none of the six women went home.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, they brought useful things and set off with Lei Sheng.

The journey was not smooth, and they encountered many waves of robbers on the way, all of whom were confused by Lei Sheng's age, and were killed by Lei Sheng in a careless manner.

However, the robbers encountered in the future did not hold hostages, and not every wave of robbers lost their conscience, some robbers only robbed food, and took the initiative to let Lei Sheng go after seeing the woman and child.

It's just that these robbers didn't expect Lei Sheng to have enough food on them.

Along the way, Lei Sheng also realized that they were too ostentatious to carry food on their backs, so when he passed through a village, he bought some cloth from the villagers, made clothes for himself, and made special clothes for these women.

The women's clothes were very wide, and they all had inner pockets, into which all the food was sewn, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

Some robbers let Lei Sheng and the others go, which made Lei Sheng feel very strange, but he would not be merciful to give the food on his body to these people.

Since the other party didn't take the initiative to provoke him, Lei Sheng couldn't hurt the lives of these people, so everyone didn't interfere with the river water.

There is still some benefit to people who have some kindness once in a while.

After a month of walking, the barren scene gradually decreased, the bushes gradually increased, and the villages gradually became denser.

After getting along day and night for a month, Lei Sheng was also familiar with these six women, but their names Lei Sheng really didn't dare to compliment, either the dog Nier or the old clown or the clown, so he renamed a few people, but they were all very common names, and they were too connotative for fear of attracting attention.

The older Lei Sheng called her Xiaoju, and the rest of the people were either fragrant or red, in short, it was more comfortable to listen to.

In the distance, a large mountain stands tall, and according to the map, it is Wutong Mountain.

After another five days of walking, passing through a particularly large town, they came to the foot of Sycamore Mountain.

Wutong Mountain is full of greenery, this is a very rare scene, the only upper mountain pass actually has six young people with swords on their backs, wearing blue cloth loose practice uniforms in two rows guarding.

Lei Sheng stepped forward to explain his intentions, only to see the young people glance at everyone with arrogant expressions, and a young man said, "So many of you are here to learn from teachers?"

Lei Sheng asked respectfully, "Is it okay?"

The young man sneered: "It's not that you can't, but you can afford the tuition?"

Do you still have to pay tuition?

The head chef didn't explain, Lei Sheng thought that as long as he came to apprentice, he would be accepted into the sect.

"How is the tuition calculated?"

The young man glanced at Lei Sheng with contempt: "You kid is only five or six years old, you can't understand it, which of you is the adult of his family?"

He looked at the women behind Lei Sheng, but no one responded to him.

Lei Sheng said: "Don't look at me with such eyes, say it and I'll listen." ”

The young man was embarrassed, and he said, "A thousand catties of grain per person." ”

This world is scarce in resources, and food is even more scarce, and the paper money that Lei Sheng previously scavenged from the two soldiers of Dashan County is not commonly used in Lei County, and after more than a month of walking, Lei Sheng can be regarded as understanding some of the customs here.

Most people in small places don't use money for trading, they just barter.

Banknotes are only circulated in large cities, and only the banknotes produced by Leijun themselves are recognized.

Although there are banknotes, people prefer to trade in barter.

Xiao Ju folded his fingers and calculated: "One thousand catties of grain per person, we are seven people, that is, ......"

She couldn't figure it out.

"Seven thousand pounds of grain. Lei Sheng said, "As far as I know, the average annual grain yield per mu in Fenglei City is only 300 catties, and I want to apprentice to Wutong Mountain, at least five acres of land will be planted for a year to make up enough for 1,000 catties." ”

Lei Sheng's calculation of this account made the young man guarding the mountain impressed: "I can't see it, you kid is good at math, but looking at your dirty body, it doesn't look like you came from a big family, where are you from?"

Lei Sheng's skin was whiter than everyone he met, and he couldn't tan him even if he was exposed to the sun, so in order not to attract attention, he had to turn himself into a dirty child.

"Qizhuang people. Lei Sheng casually said the name of the village, "My family was robbed by bandits, I escaped with them, I heard that Wutong Mountain is recruiting apprentices, so I rushed over, because only by learning martial arts can I take revenge, but what if I don't have so much food now?"

The young man guarding the mountain said: "It's not that there is no way, it's not that there are people like you, you just need to sign an agreement." ”

"What agreement?"

"Reclamation agreement. ”

"Wasteland?"

The young man guarding the mountain pointed to this Wutong Mountain and further explained: "This Wutong Mountain is vast, and there are still many places that have not been reclaimed, as long as you are willing to spend time to reclaim the barren mountain, and then go to my sect to borrow seeds to grow grain, when you have gathered the number of grains needed for registration, you can sign up." ”

Xiao Ju whispered to Lei Sheng: "I don't know how much seven thousand catties are, but I have been in the field and know how much grain a field can produce, if we all sign up, how much effort will it take, we won't sign up, as long as you sign up alone." ”

Lei Sheng signaled that Xiao Ju didn't need to say much, and he said to the young man guarding the mountain: "This senior brother, can you let us see where the barren mountain that needs to be reclaimed is?"
