Volume 1 Entering the Otherworld Chapter 4 The Outcast's Stronghold
Shang Shulang couldn't figure out how many days he had been hiding, during which, in addition to satisfying his hunger, he calmed his hesitation, helplessness, and fear by calming down, and on the other hand, he worked hard to improve his body and increase his strength and speed according to the methods of the original world, this world.
Although they are all some physical exercises, I don't know why, he feels that his physical fitness has improved significantly, especially the speed is already very amazing, catching a mouse is simply handy, easy as a hand.
After a few more days, he thought, it was time for the pursuers to go, and since there were few rats, it was time to return to his home in the stronghold.
His residence was a stone house, on the edge of the outcast's stronghold.
Because he is usually a little unresponsive and has a wooden look, the homeless people think that he is a little mentally retarded.
Of course, they didn't dare to bully Qiao Qianshan, because he was born with divine power, and one person who worked was worth four or five of them, and if he annoyed him, he couldn't stop it.
Lao Li Tou is the leader of this abandoned city's outcastic stronghold, he is already more than fifty years old, and according to the average lifespan of more than sixty in another world, it is about the same.
Lao Li Tou has been very troubled lately. The outcasts' stronghold was not peaceful, and a group of outsiders came a month ago, making chickens and dogs jump, and they drilled into the underground waterways twice for three days, saying that there were monsters to be arrested. Ten days ago, a few more people from the Demon Slayer Group came, mysteriously looking for the remnants of the Demon Sect.
Recently, all the rats in the underground waterways ran up, and he mobilized the displaced people to exterminate the rats all day long, and finally managed to save the grain warehouse in the displaced people's stronghold.
Could it be that there is a cat demon family that likes to eat mice? Otherwise, it would be impossible for mice to move en masse? Alas! Using my brain is not my old Li Tou's specialty, so let's deal with the situation in front of me.
Hao Pipi, the outcast, said, "Chief, why don't we go down and see what we have?"
Lao Li Tou looked at him, Hao Pipi has too much energy and always talks a lot, which is his advantage and disadvantage.
"Don't go! There is danger, can you deal with it? Look at your body, a cat demon can bite you to death in one bite!" said Lao Li Tou angrily.
"The cat demon, there's a cat demon down there, mom..."
Lao Li shook his head helplessly, did I say there is a cat demon down there?
Hao Pipi's mouth is the best microphone and billboard, lift him up, the billboard is something in front of the government.
Alas, it won't take half an hour for the news of a cat demon in the underground sewer to spread all over the stronghold.
Lao Li Tou is not afraid of cat demons, but what he is most worried about is the ferocious monsters and monsters in the depths of the underground, they can bring a terrible demon tide when they come out.
Under the threat of natural disasters, demon tides, and man-made disasters, the homeless stronghold has been able to survive until now thanks to survival experience and the concerted efforts of everyone. However, people do not necessarily win the sky, and the current outcasts are like a lonely boat that is broken overnight sailing in the rough sea, and it may capsize at any time.
Lao Li Tou knelt on the ground, kept muttering about these sufferings, and prayed sincerely, asking the mysterious lord to have mercy on the poor remnants of the ruined city, and to bless the remnants and the stronghold to be safe and sound.
Shang Shulang quietly searched for the stone house that had some vague memories, this place was really dilapidated, it could not be compared with the original world, this world, and it was still in a very primitive state.
He's almost recovered, and through his workouts, his strength and speed have reached a new level. Ordinary people can't keep up with his speed, and he feels that he is really a bit like the cat demon that the old guy said, with special abilities that ordinary people don't have-perception and speed.
Soon, he was discovered, and was stopped by Hao Pipi and others, and also alarmed Lao Litou.
"Joe Yishan, is that you, how did you do this?"
"I... . . Selling skins, robbers... That's it. Shang Shulang depressedly pretended to be a half-fool's way of speaking.
Hao Pipi made up for him, and preemptively added for him: "Poor Qiao Qianshan, you don't have to worry, the leaders and the brothers in the stronghold will protect you!"
Old Li was gloomy, alas, this poor Qiao Qianshan wandered here a few years ago, and he didn't say much, but he was a good worker, and the only deficiency was that he was too good to eat, and the stronghold could no longer support him, so he was forced to sell skins.
Now, Qiao Qianshan has been robbed and wronged, and he must find a way out for him, and the stronghold is not safe for the time being.
What should I do? Lao Litou's face is getting more and more bitter, why is he worrying about it lately?
Zhao Heidan saw what Lao Li Tou was thinking, and said casually: "I see that Qiao has infinite strength in moving mountains, and he has a lot of muscles, so he can go to mining, he can exercise and eat meat, which is enough for him to eat!
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Go mining, what you need for the nine-layer skin, he is very strong." ”
Lao Li thought about it, yes, mining is good, you can earn some copper plates, silver coins, and take care of food, and the stronghold will not be burdened.
"Okay! Xiao Chen, you take him tomorrow and take care of him more. ”
"Good!"
"Merciful chief, you are the kindest chief!" Hao Pipi happily supported Shang Shulang, who wished that he would lead the way, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find a place to live.
Lao Li Tou was stunned, I'm kind? This kid is good at sycophancy!
Hao Pipi was a talker, chattering all the way, and after walking for ten minutes, he spoke for nine and a half minutes.
He pointed to a low stone house and said, "You are actually not far from my house here, if you have something, call me Hao Pipi, enthusiastic and intelligent Hao Pipi, haha!"
Before leaving, he told Shang Shulang again: "If you have something, come to me, everyone calls me a jack-of-all-trades, how much they respect me!"
The house is not big, the roof is still a little leaky, the walls are also leaky, and the ground is covered with rocks and cracks.
Although the stone house was very strong, at least stronger than the thatched houses of some villagers, Qiao Qianshan was obviously a rough man, who did not know how to block the gaps in the roof and walls, and made the house dilapidated, like a shack.
He ran to a puddle, filled a lot of muddy water with the broken clay pots he had picked up, picked up some plants, mixed them together, smashed stones, and then crushed them into powder to make simple "cement" for construction.
The large cracks in the roof were first sealed with branches and thatch, and then covered with mud. The cracks in the walls were plugged in with stones and sealed with mud.
It was not completely finished until the evening, and he lay in the thatched hut, not feeling tired at all.
This body is strong, but unfortunately it is too short, and I hope that I can catch up with the height of normal people as I get older.
Thanks to Hao Pipi, Zhao Heidan, and Xiao Chen who brought the small bags of brown rice distributed by Lao Li Tou, otherwise, they would have to steal it at night...
The outcasts in the colony are such good people, how can I bear to steal their pitiful food.
What's more, if Lao Li Tou finds out, he will be extremely embarrassed and ashamed to meet people!
