Twelve carts, more than a thousand poultry, five to six hundred large meat animals, more than 200,000 kilograms of grain, and a pile of pots, pans and other sundries, the entire village's wealth was only this. Clicked.
Chu Tian sat crookedly on a large cart, squinting at the village with fireworks rising into the sky.
The village with a total of five to six hundred people is located on a low mountain peak. A river flows through the foot of the mountain, and more than a thousand acres of farmland have been opened up.
According to Chu Tian's fragmentary words from all around, he knew that this was an unprofessional bandit village. It was impossible to feed so many people in the village by robbing, and they could only work part-time in farming to make ends meet.
The people who broke through the stronghold were 400 barely well-trained officers and soldiers, and the 800 civilians they brought with them.
The village was broken down, all the wealth was swept away, and the broken wooden fence walls and thatched houses were burned cleanly by fire. Some of them were wearing long robes, with quite a bit of fat on their bellies, and they looked much fatter than the others. The civil servants with smiles on their faces directed more than a hundred civilians to measure the fields below the village.
After sweeping the village, five or six hundred people were tied up with long straw ropes. They all became prisoners of the officers and soldiers. The fields they had worked so hard to open up would naturally be taken back to the government.
Chutian's ears were sharp, and he heard several civil servants whispering that it seemed that a certain gentleman in their mouths had promised this land to a rich man, and sold it for a good price. .
There were many old, young, women and children in ragged clothes crying in low voices. Several swaddled babies were crying so hard that they were out of breath. Their mothers covered their mouths firmly with her hands and suppressed their cries. .
The young man who told Chu Tian that he was the one who picked Chu Tian back was squatting beside the cart where Chu Tian was. Together with several of his companions, he stared fiercely at the knights headed by several officers and soldiers dozens of feet away.
Several knights' mounts lazily gnawed on the turf beside them. In front of them were laid a few bloody dog skins that had just been peeled off, with hundreds of strings of coins shaped like knives piled on them. It looked like the material was made of red copper; except for the coins In addition, there are some metal blocks cast into pancake shapes.
The dark red one should be red copper, the bluish-white one should be silver with low purity, the dark yellow one should be gold, and there is also a purple-red one that only looks like a dozen cakes. Chu Tian actually doesn't know what the material is. It is a precious metal unique to this world.
Chu Tian raised his head and saw three thumb-sized suns lined up in the sky. The blazing light shone down, illuminating the forest like a cage and making people sweat all over their bodies.
This is no longer the world that Chu Tian is familiar with.
In Zi Wanzhong's words, this is another "heaven" in the Tianhe!
It's another world, so it's natural that there are precious metals that Chu Tian doesn't recognize. Chu Tian watched the knights gesticulating and arguing in a low voice, dividing the spoils piece by piece, then carelessly stuffing the silver, gold and purple metal pieces into the leather pouch around his waist. .
"It's really interesting. I actually understand the language here. It's just that some rural slang is a little different, but the general grammar and pronunciation are 90% similar." Chu Tian smiled: "I don't know what the writing is like here. , It’s a pity that there is not a single book in this village.”
"Where's Lord Mouse?" Chu Tian looked around. If he was not mistaken, it was exactly the same as what happened to him when he was just born. It was Lord Mouse who dragged him away from the danger of death.
But where did Lord Mouse go
However, with Master Shu's methods, since Chu Tian could come here with all his beard and tail, and no missing arms or legs, he himself would not be in any big trouble. With his ability, it would be easy to find Chu Tian, so there was no need to be too careful about him.
Under the big tree, several knights finished dividing the spoils. They smiled with satisfaction, patted the bulging leather bags around their waists and stood up. One of the burliest knights shouted a few times and kicked the dog's skin. Hundreds of strings of knives and coins were pointed at the officers and soldiers around them.
Many officers and soldiers laughed together, all of them laughing happily.
Chutian looked at the pile of sword coins. Each officer and soldier could probably get one and a half bunches. There could be two hundred sword coins in a bunch. It seemed that these sword coins were quite valuable, otherwise these officers and soldiers would not laugh. Like this.
Of course, it is also possible that the place is too poor, so these officers and soldiers will be satisfied with a little gain, right
Anyway, Chu Tian saw that apart from a set of wrinkled and patched uniforms, these officers and soldiers' weapons were not much better than those of the part-time bandits in the village. If they didn't have the advantage of having a large number of people and were led by a few powerful knights, they might not be able to break this stronghold.
Several officers and soldiers who were obviously in charge of logistics hurried over, wrapped the pile of coins in dog skins, carefully placed them on a cart, and hitched them to a donkey-shaped but stronger donkey. Lots of big livestock.
Several knights got on their mounts, shouted and greeted the officials who were still surveying the fields and registering the records. Hundreds of officers, soldiers and civilians escorted the crying men, women, old and children in the village along the way. A dirt road less than two feet long, slowly moving forward.
The officers, soldiers and civilians around were talking and laughing loudly with great interest. They had fought a victorious battle and captured a lot of trophies. They were naturally in a good mood.
The bandits in the cottage around Chutian, as well as their family members, were all crying and walking with extremely heavy steps. In addition to Chu Tian lying on the twelve carts, there were also dozens of injured people from the village. They moaned and screamed in pain from time to time, which added a bit of dullness to the team.
No one was in the mood to talk to Chu Tian, and he had no strength to talk to anyone. He could only lie on the cart and follow the team forward.
They couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and they didn't know how far they had walked. They spent a night on the way. The next day, when the three-wheeled sun hung in the middle of the sky, the team arrived in front of a large mountain.
Several knights had already jumped off their mounts, and walked to a mountain forest with a bit of respect and restraint, and smiling faces. A knight shouted loudly.
It was clear that the air in the mountain forest was densely covered with thorns and there was not even a trail, and the shadows of a large number of trees were blurred, revealing a yellow sand road three feet wide.
Several men wearing green cloth gowns and looking at the sky slowly walked out. One of them, a man who looked to be about forty years old, snorted arrogantly: "Well, here? This time, it was delivered. How many people are there? Don’t just crowd in a bunch of old and weak people like last time to fill up the number!”
"He's a good and strong guy!" The burly knight headed by him laughed with a hint of flattery: "Those who are tall and strong, even those women and children, can still work. This time, it's really They’re all good stuff!”
