Hunting fairies and demons

Finally arrived at Changfeng City.

Lu Yan's eyes really filled with tears when he saw the huge city and ancient walls in front of him.

It has been half a month since he came to this world, and he has also been in exile with the refugee army for half a month. During this period, he was on the verge of death several times, and survived narrowly and narrowly.

For example, he was almost beaten to death by other refugees in order to snatch some wild vegetables.

He lamented more than once that he was one of the most unlucky time travellers.

That's right, he originally came from the earth and was a street writer. He worked during the day and coded at night. Perhaps because he was too tired, he fell asleep one night while coding. When he woke up, his soul traveled to another place. A young man with the same name in the world.

The original owner's hometown suffered a natural disaster. The land was bare for thousands of miles, and the plants were dead. Not only was there no harvest, but even the bark and wild vegetables were deprived of food. If he didn't leave, he would starve to death and have no choice but to migrate to other cities.

The original owner followed his parents into exile. He got seriously ill on the way and died. Lu Yanjiu happened to occupy the magpie nest and inherited most of his memories, so he didn't reveal his fault during this period.

I wonder if the family members of Changfeng City will take us in?

The speaker was an old man, everyone called him Uncle Wu. He had dark, chapped skin, white hair, and was skinny and skinny. He was obviously only about fifty years old, but he was older than the seventy-year-old man on earth.

There was deep worry in his voice, and his eyes were full of confusion and helplessness about the future.

It's hard to say.

The person who answered was Lu Yan's father, Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan is about thirty-five years old and has a square face. Because he is a hunter, he hunts all year round. Although he has been exiled thousands of miles and slept in the open air these days, his body is still strong.

At least, compared to these refugees.

Lu Yan looked around and saw that the surrounding area was filled with refugees. Lu Yan estimated that there were no less than ten thousand people.

There was an indescribable stench wafting in the air, which was nauseating. Fortunately, Lu Yan was used to it.

The refugees looked blankly at the city ahead, waiting for their fate to be judged.

It is common for refugees to be rejected. Some clans not only refuse to accept them, but also send troops to drive them away. If they do not comply, it is normal to have their heads chopped off.

If the nobles of Changfeng City refuse to accept them, they will go into exile again and go to the next city.

But with their food reserves and physical condition, most of them would die on the road before they could reach the next city.

Boom!

Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly, and a roar came from Changfeng City.

The sound came from far away and came closer in a blink of an eye. Only then did everyone see clearly that this was a cavalry group, with only about a hundred riders, but when they ran, they were as majestic as an army of thousands of horses.

It's the military force of the clan.

I don't know who shouted, and everyone's hearts were raised. Whether to accept or reject, it will be known soon, which will determine their future destiny.

The law.

The cavalry stopped in front, neat and uniform, without any disorder, obviously well-trained.

The horse is like a dragon and the knight is like a bear. What a terrifying aura.

Lu Yan looked at it curiously, secretly speechless.

The backs of the war horses are almost more than two meters high. The cavalry on the horses are tall and strong, wearing red iron armor and holding spears, like giant bears.

Lu Yan roughly judged that the height of these cavalrymen was all over 1.9 meters, which was in sharp contrast to the refugees.

After looking at each other with a cavalryman, Lu Yan's hair stood on end and his heart beat faster. He felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast.

When he went to the zoo in his previous life, he had close contact with a Siberian tiger, but the feeling the Siberian tiger gave him was far less than that of this cavalryman.

Lu Yan hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

At this time, a middle-aged cavalryman walked out of the crowd, looked at the wolf like a hawk, and said: The master of the house has an order. The refugees who come here will be my Liu family's subjects from now on. In a while, you will be given porridge and your residence will be arranged.

What?

Tens of thousands of refugees were stunned at first, and then became ecstatic, with excited expressions on their faces.

They were not refused, and they were given porridge and a place to live. They were saved.

Not long after, large wooden barrels were pushed over from the direction of the city. The aroma of porridge was tempting, and Lu Yan's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

The porridge distribution will begin now. Everyone will line up to receive the porridge. Anyone who jumps in line will be killed without mercy.

A cavalryman shouted loudly, and the sound was like a loud bell, which could be heard for several miles, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Soon, tens of thousands of refugees lined up in long queues. Lu Yan followed his parents in the queue, and after about two sticks of incense, he successfully received a bowl of porridge.

The porridge was no longer hot. Lu Yan picked up the bowl and finished it in a few big mouthfuls.

The porridge was made from brown rice and was very thin. To be honest, it was far inferior to the white porridge on earth, but at this moment Lu Yan found it extremely delicious.

These days, I rely on some dry food stored by my parents, plus wild vegetables and grass seeds. It is unpalatable. Moreover, I am suffering from constipation every day. It takes a lot of effort to pull a big baby.

Father, mother, you eat.

Lu Yan called out when he saw Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui carrying their porridge and not eating yet.

Yan'er, Mom is not hungry. I'll give you this bowl of porridge, too.

Wang Cui handed the bowl in his hand to Lu Yan.

Yes, we are not hungry yet, Yan'er. You have not recovered from your serious illness and it is time for you to grow. You need to eat more.

Lu Qingshan also said.

Although Lu Yan was single in his previous life, he was an adult after all. How could he not know the good intentions of being a parent?

Dad, Mom, I'm full. You guys eat quickly. We have to arrange a place to stay later.

Lu Yan smiled.

It would be false to say that Lu Yang just traveled through time and had any feelings for his second elder. However, in the past half month, whatever the second elder had to eat, he would first leave it to him. If there was any danger, he would block it in front of him like a wall. The danger was isolated. If it weren't for the careful care of the two elders, he would have died on the road long ago due to his unrecovered body.

The human heart is made of flesh. After half a month of getting along, Lu Yan has recognized Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui and treats them as his parents.

The couple wanted to talk more, but Lu Yan only said that he was full. The two elders couldn't resist Lu Yan, so they picked up the bowl and ate all the porridge, even the little porridge water remaining at the bottom of the bowl was licked clean.

Bold, you have already received the porridge and you want to sneak in and receive it again. Think you can hide it from me? You are looking for death.

A loud shout was like thunder exploding from the sky.

A cavalryman rode out, the spear in his hand thrust out like lightning, impaling a middle-aged man and raising it above his head.

The middle-aged man was like a pierced fish, struggling and twitching, his eyes full of despair.

Buzz!

When the cavalry exerted force, the spear vibrated, producing a terrible force. The middle-aged man's body was torn apart, and his internal organs and corpses were scattered on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yan almost spit out the porridge he had just eaten, even though he had seen countless dead people along the way.

During the exile, countless people died of starvation, but this was the first time I saw such bloodshed.

It's amazing. Is that martial arts? Just the vibration force generated by the vibrating spear can shatter an adult's body. What kind of power is this?

Holding back his discomfort, Lu Yan looked at the cavalryman, feeling overwhelmed and unable to calm down.

The visual impact is so strong that the 50-cent special effects in movies and TV shows in previous lives simply couldn't be produced.

From the memory of this body, he knew that there was martial arts in this world, and martial arts masters hunted tigers with bare hands just for fun, but he had never seen it before.

This was the first time he saw a martial arts master take action.

The child's father, why do you want to kill him? He just wants to get another bowl of porridge for the child. Oh, oh, oh, oh, how are we going to live if you go?

At this time, a skinny woman threw herself on the ground, crying and crying.

Cry again and send you two to see him.

The knight who had taken action before scolded him, filled with murderous intent, like a ferocious beast that chose people to devour.

The skinny woman didn't dare to cry anymore. She could only hug her child and tremble all over.

The other refugees remained silent, and some who wanted to sneak into the team to receive a second bowl of porridge gave up the idea.

The distribution of porridge continued. After the porridge was distributed and the bowls were collected, officers came to register information one by one.

Registration is very simple, just ask your name and age, where you are from, and what you do.

There are other arrangements for those who can smelt, forge and make medicine.

Through the memory of his predecessor, Lu Yan knew that the place where he was was called the Chu Dynasty.

However, the imperial court was weak and could only govern a few states. In other areas, princes were fighting each other, and the clans were independent, trained the military, and formulated laws. Each clan was an independent small country.

The aristocratic families are at the top, while ordinary people are like pigs and dogs, taking life and death for granted.

The major clans fight against each other all year round and plunder resources. Therefore, weapons and medicines have become scarce goods, and those who know these craftsmanship are naturally popular.

Lu Qingshan, Lu Chuan, Lu Daniu, Wu Si, Wu Hai

Fifty of you households will come with me and I will arrange for you to stay in the mountain village.

An officer called his name loudly, and those who were called brought their family members closer to the officer.

Kaoshan Village is named after Woniu Mountain, more than ten miles away from Changfeng City.

An officer and two knights led the team, followed by a group of more than fifty households. Half an hour later, the mountain villages ahead were vaguely visible.

On the way, Lu Yan kept having a question.

Kaoshan Village seems to be an old village. This kind of village is usually full of people, so how can fifty families of them be 'squeezed' in?

Not only Lu Yan, but others also had this question, but the officers and knights didn't say a word, and they didn't dare to ask more questions.

The mountain village is surrounded by a wooden fence, which is more than two meters high. This is to prevent wild beasts from entering the village at night.

The door was open, and Lu Yan caught a glimpse of more than ten people watching.

Soon, they entered the village.

The backing village has arrived. Next, I have something to announce.

As soon as the officer spoke, he was interrupted by a shout.

Don't come, don't come. Even if you come, you won't be able to leave. You will all die. You will all die here.

A village woman, with a thin body and disheveled hair, a pale face twisted with deep fear, stared at Lu Yan and others and yelled at the top of her lungs.

Where is this madman from? Drag him down quickly.

The officer's expression changed and he shouted sharply.

A knight controlled his horse and was about to rush out, but he saw several figures hurriedly running out of the village. Two village men pulled the crazy village woman. An old man fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, his body trembling slightly because of fear, and said: Sir, please forgive me, my daughter is a lunatic, she talks nonsense all day long, I will take her away now.

I'm not crazy. I'm dead. They're all dead. This is a cannibalistic village, and there are evil spirits who are looking for their lives.

The village woman still yelled, and her hysterical voice, twisted face, and fearful eyes made everyone feel chills in their hearts.

A village man quickly covered the village woman's mouth to silence her.

The officer's face was as gloomy as water, and he said: If you don't take me away, I will definitely kill you next time.

Yes, yes, thank you, sir.

The old man kowtowed repeatedly, and then quickly retreated with the two village men and the village woman.

Lu Qingshan and others looked at each other, their hearts still feeling hairy, and the chill could never go away.

It's nonsense that a vicious ghost is asking for his life.

The officer sneered and said: To tell you the truth, there was a plague in Kaoshan Village not long ago, which caused many villagers to die of illness, so many houses were left vacant. But don't worry, the plague has long been controlled, and you can move in with peace of mind.

Also, the fields left by the villagers who died of illness will also be allocated to your names for you to cultivate. After the harvest next year, you only need to pay 50% of the tax.

And field allocation?

Everyone was overjoyed, and the chill in their hearts faded a bit.

As for handing over 50% of taxes, they simply ignored it.

Now we are starving to death. Who cares about 50% tax? And in this war-torn era, 50% tax is really not high.

Next, I have two things to announce.

First, the head of the family is compassionate and allows you to borrow grain. Each household can borrow up to three bushels of brown rice. You can also borrow potato seeds. However, after the harvest next year, you will have to pay 50% more, which will be counted as interest. If you want to borrow, register one by one.

The officer continued his announcement.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and that was because of excitement.

You can even borrow grain and seeds.

One bucket weighs about twelve and a half kilograms, and three buckets weighs more than thirty-seven kilograms. With wild vegetables, wild fruits, grass seeds, etc., the family can survive for several months without any problem.

And now is the eighth day of September, which is the season for planting potatoes, and the potato harvest time is short. It usually takes more than two months to mature. If you plant it now, you can harvest it in November.

As long as they wait until that time, they can survive.

I register

I register

Each household is assigned a representative and all are registered.

After a while, food and seeds will arrive. Now let's announce the second thing.

The Liu family needs an army to defend their homeland, so they have recently recruited a group of young people for training, ranging from fourteen to twenty years old. Not only can they provide you with free food and drink, but they can also teach you martial arts training methods. You will also be paid every month. I have three hundred cash a month.

The officer continued.

This statement made many people's eyes light up.

Free food and drink, and a monthly income of 300 Wen.

Due to the war, food prices have been rising year by year. Nowadays, the price of coarse grains is around two cents. Three hundred cents is enough to buy 150 kilograms of coarse grains. If you save some food, a family of three can eat for two months.

The most important thing is to be able to learn martial arts.

In this world, martial arts are supreme, and in war-torn times, martial arts is more important than literature. Once you are successful in martial arts, you can become a human master. Who wouldn't be tempted.

Although joining the army is dangerous, it is better than starving to death.

The continuous good news made everyone's uneasiness caused by the crazy village woman completely dissipate.

Immediately, many qualified people came forward to sign up.

Dad, Mom, I want to sign up.

Lu Yan said.

In the past half month, plus the memories of his predecessor, Lu Yan has understood very clearly that as a low-level person, he has no ability to protect himself or take risks. Life is in the hands of the strong. If there is any problem, he will die.

As a second generation, he doesn't want to live like this. He wants to practice martial arts, become a strong man, and have the ability to protect himself and his family, instead of being a piece of fish on someone else's chopping board to be slaughtered.

But it is not easy to practice martial arts. Unless someone has a special talent and is discovered, otherwise, if you want to get into martial arts, you will have to spend a lot of money to study in those martial arts schools.

But where does he get the money? He can't even raise the money to practice martial arts by farming in his lifetime.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity.

He didn't ask Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui and walked directly to the officers. He knew in his heart that Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui definitely didn't ask him to join the army.

It was too late for Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui to catch Lu Yan, so they could only stand there and worry.

Your body is too weak and your foundation is weak. You do not meet the conditions. Retreat.

The officer just glanced at Lu Yan and refused directly.

Lu Yan had no choice but to retreat. Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, a total of twelve people met the conditions and were registered, and they would leave with the officers later.

An hour later, several carts of grain and seeds arrived, and everyone received the grain and seeds one after another.

Then each household was given a wooden sign with a room number written on it. There was also a corresponding room number at the door of every house in the village. You just need to find the house according to the room number and move in.

The room number Lu Qingshan received was thirty-six.

They brought food and seeds and found Room 36.

The house is located on the edge of the village. It is not big. It is built with mud walls and thatched roof. It has three rooms, a small hall and a small kitchen.

There are still rusty hoes, poles, dustpans and other farm tools placed at the door, but the original owner of the house is no longer there.

Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui immediately started cleaning. Lu Yan wanted to help, but the two elders stopped him, saying that Lu Yan had not recovered from his serious illness and needed to have a good rest.

It was evening after cleaning. Wang Cui took some brown rice and cooked a pot of thick porridge.

The family of three gathered around the wooden table and ate with gusto.

The brown rice is mixed with rice bran and has a very bad taste. In the past, it was difficult for Lu Yan to swallow it, but now it feels extremely sweet.

A bowl of brown rice porridge makes your body feel warm.

In the eyes of the two elders, there is no longer the confusion and despair about the future that they had on the road of exile. Instead, there is hope and expectation for the future.

There are houses, fields, food, and seeds. This is hope.

Yan'er, get some rest early. I'll go hunting in the mountains tomorrow morning and hunt a hare for you to replenish your health.

Lu Qingshan said.

At night, the moonlight filled the thatched house. Lu Yan was lying on the wooden bed, his thoughts were confused and he could not fall asleep.

One moment I thought of the scene of people dying of hunger on the way to exile, another moment I thought of the terrifying power of the knight to kill a person with one shot, and then I thought of the crazy village woman yelling at the top of her lungs during the day.

I don't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, which was getting thicker and thicker like the darkness in the middle of the night.

This world is full of dangers, and I must be able to protect myself. What is that book in my head? Why is there still no response.

As a time traveler, Lu Yan is not without specialties. On the first day he traveled through time, he discovered that there was a book in his mind. As long as he concentrated on it, it would appear in his mind. However, Lu Yan tried many times and couldn't find it. Discover any special features.

After trying many times to no avail, Lu Yan could only give up.

After thinking about it distractedly for a while, sleepiness gradually came over him, and Lu Yan fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, a shrill scream resounded through the quiet night sky of the small village, and Lu Yan suddenly sat up from the bed.

Lao Mu is back, and a new book is coming. This book took Lao Mu a lot of energy to conceive and set up. The follow-up is absolutely wonderful. Please collect it and read it every day. This is very important. Thank you.
