Civilization spreads to another world

The mountains in May are full of greenery, and a group of people are stumbling through the dense jungle.

Ovian walked at the back of the crowd with his grandfather on his back. The continuous rush made him exhausted, but he gritted his teeth and dared not relax. Once he relaxed, he would leave the team. Leaving the team in the mountains and forests meant throwing himself into the arms of the god of death. They had fallen behind many people along the way, and none of them caught up.

He lowered his head, his feet swaying mechanically and numbly.

"Put me down..."

Grandfather Armor pressed his shoulders, trying to get down.

"No, I still have strength, I can walk." Ovian clenched his arms tightly and resolutely refused to let him down. It rained heavily when he was on the road the day before yesterday, and his grandfather accidentally slipped and broke his leg. walk on my own.

He has only one family member left, his grandfather, and he will never do this.

He took a deep breath, not daring to vent his strength, and gritted his teeth: "It's almost there, after crossing this mountain—"

As he said that, he staggered and almost fell, but fortunately he hit Uncle Hongyan's back in front of him and stabilized his body with strength.

However, Uncle Hongyan was caught off guard by his bump. He leaned forward and bumped into his daughter Lingguo who was walking in front of him. Lingguo was almost exhausted. This touch was like the last grass that overwhelmed the camel, and he jumped forward. Suddenly, like dominoes, the team fell back and forth in a row.

"sorry Sorry……"

Ovian was scared out of his wits and apologized hastily.

Uncle Hongyan quickly helped his daughter up and spoke for him: "It's not Ovian, it's my carelessness."

Ling Guo stood firm and apologized to the person knocked down by her: "I'm sorry, Aunt Pauline, I hit you."

Everyone stood firm one by one, shook their heads and no one blamed anyone.

"Do not blame you."

"It's okay, I didn't stand firm myself."

"It's my legs that are weak."

……

As the leader, Barnett avoided being affected in time. He turned around, supported Zhu Zhu's body with the wooden stick in his hand, looked at the obviously tired people behind him, took a breath, and said, "Forget it, since If you stop, rest for a while before you go."

He looked around: "There is an open space over there, let's go there, quickly, stand up first and don't sit on the ground, be careful of insects and snakes."

Everyone immediately supported each other to stand up.

Ovian heaved a sigh of relief, he was afraid that he would become a drag and be abandoned by everyone.

Uncle Hongyan patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, there is no great danger here, as long as you can hurry, everyone will not give up."

Although the leader of the team was Barnett, Uncle Hongyan was very prestigious in the team. Ovian was immediately relieved when he said this.

It was very difficult for them to escape all the way.

In the beginning, there were more than 100 people. They were first chased and killed by soldiers and slaves sent by the lord, and after entering the forest, they were killed by wild beasts, insects and snakes. Some of them were still alive, but their injuries were too serious. No way to take people away, one by one had to leave the team and stay.

He said that he would catch up when he was better, but no one caught up.

In the desolate and uninhabited mountains and forests overgrown with wild beasts, dragging the mutilated body, how to survive.

The faces of those left behind floated in front of his eyes, Ovian held his grandfather's hand even tighter, and carefully put him down, not daring to leave, for fear that his grandfather would sneak away while he was away alone.

Everyone gathered around to rest in the open space, and they were careful not to make too much noise, fearing to startle the wild beasts, and did not dare to sit down completely or half squat.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

The two children in the team whispered.

I am also hungry.

Ovian lowered his head and looked at his deflated stomach, it was okay if he didn't want to, but when he thought about it, a heart-scratching hunger surged out.

Other people around also covered their stomachs.

They have not had enough food for half a month.

They had planned for a long time before fleeing. On the day of the escape, Uncle Hongyan led people to sneak into the grain storehouse in the territory and stole a lot of food, but before they escaped into the forest, they were chased by soldiers and discarded a lot to reduce the burden.

The leftover food was eaten up in a short time, so they could only look for food in the mountains and forests, but they did not dare to light a fire, fearing that the smoke would attract wild animals, so they could only eat wild fruits, but the roads in the mountains and forests were difficult to pick, and wild fruits were not easy to pick. Sometimes you will encounter poisonous animals, and many people died because of picking wild fruits.

Aunt Pauline's husband accidentally rolled down the hillside when he was picking wild berries, and never came up again.

And after entering the Baishan Mountain, there are fewer and fewer wild fruits.

The wild fruits in Baishan were all picked by the serfs in the territory. They heard from those serfs from afar that it was because God used the wild fruits to make delicious food. Go into the mountains to pick.

Therefore, not only did they dare not pick them, but they had to avoid the serf picking teams far away to prevent being discovered and reported.

At first they tried to take other slaves with them when they passed through other territories, but they didn't expect that those slaves deceived them, and they were almost caught. After that, they never dared to show up in front of other serfs and slaves.

Unable to pick wild fruits, afraid to start a fire, and less and less food to eat. In the past two weeks, everyone only eats one meal a day.

If only we could come across white gravy again.

Ovian swallowed quietly.

When they were on their way before, they came across a small pile of white juice grass. The leaves of white juice grass are big and crisp, and the juice can quench thirst when bitten down. Although the taste is a bit astringent, it is very satisfying. He can be full after eating three pieces.

It's a pity that the white juice grass is only enough for each of their team to eat two meals, and there will be no more that day.

The leader, Barnett, looked up at the sun in the sky, and took off the deerskin bag on his back: "It's almost lunch time, eat first if you're hungry, and go on your way after eating."

Ovian's eyes lit up instantly, staring at the buckskin bag.

Since there was a dispute over food, Uncle Barnett kept all the food on his body for safekeeping, and distributed it to everyone when it was time to eat.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the leather bag, and there was a green light.

Soon everyone had food on hand.

A piece of black bread the size of a fist.

This was specially prepared before they escaped, as a last resort, if the food they brought from the grain depot was not lost, it would be enough for them to survive to Chang'an Town.

But now, they only have these black bread.

The black bread was hard and cold. It used to be put into hot soup to melt it, but now it can only be eaten dry. Fortunately, they still have knives, which can be cut into small pieces and ground into the stomach bit by bit with their teeth.

Ovian was the last to get the knife, and he cut open the grandfather's piece first, and his grandfather had bad teeth, so he had to cut it very small.

The dry bread sharpened their throats, and someone couldn't help but ask in frustration, "Can we really reach Chang'an Town?"

"Of course!" Ling Guo glared at the man, and said firmly, "We will definitely reach Chang'an Town!" She bit the hard-as-stone bread in her mouth, her eyes brightened, "Cross this mountain You will be able to see Chang'an Town, and when you arrive in Chang'an Town, you will never be hungry again, and you can eat soft white steamed buns, steamed buns, flatbread..."

As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva.

Everyone also swallowed their saliva, looking forward to it.

"That's right." Uncle Hongyan encouraged everyone, "When we arrive in Chang'an Town, we will no longer be slaves, just like free people, we can have our own houses and marry freely. As long as we work hard, we can live better than Lord Baron. Comfortable."

Uncle Hongyan has said these words many times, and everyone has heard them many times, but they never tire of hearing them. Everyone's face is full of yearning.

"Tell me more."

"anything else?"

Uncle Hongyan repeated what he said once again: "When we arrive in Chang'an Town, those who are illiterate can go to the factory to work, but we must not be lazy. Only by working hard can we become workers. If we are lazy, we will be sent away and we will continue to be slaves when we go back!"

"If you become a worker, you can apply for a house, and you can also participate in blind dates to start a family. Liu Zhi, haven't you always wanted to find a woman to have children? When you arrive in Chang'an Town, as long as you work hard, you can have everything."

The young man named Liuzhi was full of excitement.

Because he was born with one more finger than others, he has always been regarded as unknown, and even he himself feels guilty.

He didn't know that was the case until the word of the envoy reached the territory, it wasn't his fault!

The envoy rescued him, so he must go to Chang'an Town.

Everyone laughed at Liuzhi, and the heavy atmosphere became lighter.

Uncle Hongyan continued: "Like Barnett Ovian and Uncle Armor, you can read and write, it will be even better, and you will be assigned easier and more lucrative jobs. I heard that the envoy will establish a college, and the children can still read and write. Go to college to study."

These news were sent back by a friend who entrusted a wandering merchant to him. Back then, when his friend was selected by the lord and sent to Chang'an Town, he thought that there would be no more news.

He was astonished when the businessman approached him quietly.

After hearing what the businessman said, he was shocked.

At that time, he decided to follow his friend's advice and go to Chang'an Town. Originally, the businessman could help him take him away, but he didn't want to take his daughter with him. He wanted to take everyone with him, so he could only refuse the businessman and choose to flee.

It was not the first time Ovian heard these words, but every time he heard them, he couldn't help but look forward to them.

He was not a natural slave. His grandfather, Armor, was once a nobleman, and he was a powerful official next to the Marquis. His father was promoted by the Marquis to become a knight, and his mother was also from an official family.

It's a pity that the Marquis was defeated when he was a baby, and his family became slaves. His grandmother died soon, and his father and mother died of illness one after another when he was still young.

His grandfather has been secretly teaching him, hoping to restore his former glory one day.

He also expected the same, and agreed immediately when Uncle Hongyan proposed to escape. He could only be a slave in the territory, and when he grew up, he would be just like Uncle Hongyan. Continue to be a slave.

He didn't want that.

You must go to Chang'an Town!

It was a joint decision between him and his grandfather.

There are quite a few people in the team with backgrounds like Ovian. Aunt Pauline was even more noble than Ovian. Her father was an earl, and her former husband was a viscount. Viscountess.

Barnett is also a descendant of nobles. Although he didn't say it, it can be seen from his name and demeanor.

Only slaves like them would be unwilling to choose to flee to Chang'an Town at the risk of death.

Everyone listened to Uncle Hongyan's words, and the black bread in their hands seemed to become sweeter.

After eating and resting for a while, everyone continued on their way.

Four days passed quickly, and the last piece of black bread in the buckskin bag was eaten, and the team fell into a food crisis.

Two days later, everyone was too hungry to walk.

"Go to Chang'an Town, I must go to Chang'an Town."

Aunt Pauline, who fell to the ground, grabbed the weeds from the ground and stuffed them into her mouth, swallowing desperately.

Ovian no longer had the strength to carry his grandfather on his back.

"Let's go, don't worry about me." Grandpa closed his eyes weakly, his broken leg became more and more serious, and his lower body had already lost consciousness.

Tears welled up in Ovian's eyes, and he followed everyone else's lead by grabbing weeds and stuffing them to his grandfather.

"go!"

Grandpa scolded with the last of his strength.

Then he closed his eyes and never opened them again.

Ovian cried and stuffed the weed into his mouth until he couldn't cry.

Then they were quickly pulled away by everyone.

The dead attract beasts and cannot stay where they are.

Weeds, moss, vines... they swallowed everything they could swallow, and finally, one morning, they successfully crossed the White Mountain.

The iconic pagoda is not far away.

Below the mountain is an indistinct town.

"arrive!"

"It's Chang'an Town!"

"We found it!"

……

Everyone cheered excitedly, the hunger and fatigue were swept away, and they rushed down the hillside.
