It's getting dark.
Brother Shan, Yang Dashan, and others were walking on the way back.
"Laoba, what are you doing this afternoon?"
Yang Dashan asked.
The refugee named Lao Ba, who is in his mid-twenties, is a senior farmer in Silver Flame City. Eight times his ancestors have been in this profession. Hearing this, he replied: "In the afternoon, I followed the farmers from Yunmeng to open up farmland and work on the saline-alkali land. About one hundred acres of wheat fields have been cultivated... "
"Opening up wheat fields now?"
"Yeah, it's already deep winter, and it's too late to even plant winter wheat."
"And in saline-alkali soil, even if the season is right, you can't grow wheat seedlings. It's a waste of time. If you sow the seeds, all the seeds will be in vain..."
Several other partners were very surprised when they heard it.
"That Young Master Lin, isn't he really a fool?"
Lao Qi added: "This afternoon, I was assigned to follow a guy named An Muxi to dig medicinal fields. I also dug hundreds of acres in one day. But as we all know, even wheat cannot be grown in saline-alkali soil, let alone the growing conditions. Harsh medicine.”
"Fourth, what about you? What did you do today?"
"Me? Oh, I have been transporting the loess dug out of the well all day. It is said that it is used to bake bricks."
"That's not very strange..."
Everyone was talking about each other.
"By the way, tell me, is this [Beichen Pill] that Yunmeng people gave us poisonous? If you take one pill, you will be full all day and night. Will there be any problems?"
Someone suddenly said.
Brother Shan Yang Dashan spoke: "There should be no problem. Didn't you see that those Yunmeng people looked proud when they talked about [Beichen Pills]? They themselves also took a lot of it."
"That's true..."
"It's so miraculous. You can take one pill and you won't be hungry all day and all night. It's like a magical thing. If word spreads about it, I'm afraid even the nobles in the Third City will be jealous."
“I just don’t know if the cost of dispensing pills is high.”
"It's definitely not high, otherwise, Yunmeng people wouldn't be able to afford it themselves."
While a group of people were discussing, they suddenly saw the roar of large hooves in front of them.
Looking up, the expressions of several people suddenly changed. They immediately found a hidden hill and hid behind it.
Thousands of meters away, a group of black-armored troops were seen, breaking the tranquility of the night and galloping in the direction of Yunmeng's camp.
There were at least five hundred people.
Different from the rabble during the day, this is a truly elite army.
Although there was no flag and all the serial numbers on his body were torn off, even they, a group of refugees, could tell that this was probably an elite member of one of the Chaohui Army.
Looking from a distance, it looks murderous.
Teng is frightening.
"Oops, it must be Chuchunlou's revenge."
"I heard that the person behind Zui Chun Tower is a powerful general in the Chaohui Guards. He has an army of 10,000 people in the Weishan tribe under his command... and dispatched a half-battalion of 500 troops. Of course.”
"But it is illegal to mobilize the army privately to deal with one's own people."
"You know what the heck, the rules are only for us assholes..."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Yes, do you want to hurry up and report to Young Master Lin and the others?"
"Looking for death, can we outrun the speeding beast?"
"Alas, Yunmeng Camp is coming to an end."
"How about... let's hurry to our own camp?"
Everyone was a little scared.
Although he worked for a long time in the Yunmeng camp in the afternoon and was paid well, under such circumstances, it was definitely impossible to accompany the Yunmeng people to death.
Yang Dashan took a deep breath and said remotely: "Wait a minute, we will be here to see the situation."
The group of people looked at the [Beichen Pills] in their hands and then looked at the direction of Yunmeng Camp in the distance, and they all sighed in unison.
If Yunmeng Camp did not offend the big shots in the Third City District, it would be a good place to work after all. In addition to getting food for a half-day, you could also get two [Beichen Pills], take them back and mix them in the water. , if the whole family drinks it, they can definitely resist hunger for half a day.
It's a good job to make a living.
but now…
well.
The main blame lies with Mr. Lin, who is so stupid that he insists on offending Zui Chunlou.
A group of people waited eagerly behind the hill.
The temperature drops particularly quickly on winter nights.
Soon a group of people felt like they were numb from the cold.
"Why don't we go back? The Yunmeng camp has been designated... Huh?"
Halfway through what he was saying, Lao Ba suddenly stopped.
He pointed at the night in the distance and said, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone looked intently.
I saw a speeding beast galloping from the direction of Yunmeng's camp, with a knight on its back, who was the menacing soldier of the unnumbered army.
But it is completely different from the scene of death with heavy armor and strong momentum.
At this time, all the clothes on the knight's body were stripped off, and he was only wearing a pair of underpants. Even in the night, you could see a hint of white. His expression was panicked, and he was desperately slapping the speeding beast on his crotch, as if trying to escape. From time to time I look behind me...
In a moment, the knight rushed past and disappeared into the night in the distance.
Yang Dashan, Lao Ba and others looked at each other, looking at each other.
They all saw the incredible look in each other's eyes.
"If... I'm not wrong, it seems that all the five hundred elites who went to find trouble were in trouble?"
"The one who escaped was probably released on purpose. Otherwise, his armor and clothes wouldn't have been stripped off... Hiss, Yunmeng Camp is so terrifying?"
"This is not a big meeting. It took only one stick of incense to come and go, and more than 500 elite Chaohui troops were wiped out like this?"
Yang Dashan and others felt more and more ridiculous the more they thought about it.
But other than this explanation, there is no other possibility.
"Let's go back to the camp. We can't stay here any longer."
Yang Dashan urged, and everyone rushed towards their camp.
Chaohui's army suffered a big loss, and Yunmengren deliberately sent back a message. What a provocation. I'm afraid that after nightfall, a terrible incident would happen.
They are just some miscellaneous fish who dare not be involved in such a big incident.
So it’s better to go home quickly first.
That night, Yang Dashan didn't sleep well.
He would always be woken up by the slightest noise, and then he would sit up sweating profusely. Through the gaps in the thatched hut, he would see the wilderness in the camp outside. Those wooden fences that could not block even ordinary wild dogs seemed to be still there. It would be better to stay at Yunmeng Camp where we have just settled down for two days.
He suddenly felt a little envious of Yun Mengren.
No matter what their fate is tonight, at least they have a spiritual pillar to lead the way forward - even if this spiritual pillar seems to be abnormal.
"I hope I can still see Yunmeng Camp when I go there tomorrow."
Yang Dashan looked at his wife, who was sleeping huddled up next to her three children, covered with hay, and a trace of identification flashed in his eyes.
When she was eighteen years old, she was a famous beauty in the small town, but she finally chose to marry the taciturn man.
In the past ten years, he has been busy outside, virtuous and open-minded, supporting the family and giving birth to two sons and a daughter.
We move forward together in these ten years, sharing weal and woe.
Even when the escape was the most difficult and dangerous, it was her several desperate efforts that inspired him and his children, so that the whole family could come to Zhaohui City alive and reunited.
She and the child are his courage and motivation to live.
No matter what, no matter what the cost, he would protect them, keep them well fed, and no longer suffer from cold and hunger.
Yang Dashan decided that he would go to Yunmeng Camp to have another look tomorrow morning.
If the Yunmeng Camp had not been destroyed, he would have continued to work there.
There was something inexplicable in that camp that attracted him deeply.
