attack stream of life

Qingchuan tightened the rope, loosened it a little more, tightened it again, and relaxed it again. This way, the fish's will and strength were wasted several times, and he successfully caught this river fish the size of a man's palm. There are three fish.

This is a local fish. It is not beautiful in appearance. It has a big head and a small body. The meat is tender and has no spines. It is delicious no matter how you do it.

This kind of fish grows fast, and it can be served on the table in less than a year.

"Hello."

"You, hello." Ah... even speaking so nicely?Like the wind that blows through the valley in spring.The little girl thought a little foolishly.

"I think, your name is Lilian? Are you still used to living here?" Qing Chuan asked her.

"Eh? Ah, I'm used to it, it's good." There are no hooligans, and no disgusting sights. There are only daily labor and a large beautiful lake. She likes this place very much.

Even if there are no various small shops and people coming and going, even if there are only a dozen of them humans, and the goblins that they meet by chance in the evening, they are so desolate, but their hearts are at ease, and they will not In panic all day.

This is the most relaxed day since she was sensible. There are no worries, and the future is visible.

But why would this person know her name?

The young Lilian was obsessed with beauty, she didn't have any defenses.

"Really?" Qing Chuan stood up, afraid to smack the dust on his body.He took out a straw rope, passed it through the fish's open and closed mouth, and handed it to the little girl, "Nice to meet you, lovely lady, let this be a greeting gift."

The little girl caught the fish flicking its tail at a loss, "May I ask who you are? Do you live here too?"

She was dumbfounded, with a silly expression, a little thin because of malnutrition, looking dusty, but her eyes were bright like moist pearls.

"Well, it's a neighbor."

Qingchuan couldn't help smiling, and the flowers bloomed like brocade in an instant.

He shook hands with her, and prepared to leave with the fishing rod and the fishing rod in his hand.

"Excuse me, will you come over again in the future?" Lilian asked loudly. Of course, it was her own "loudness", but it was actually still small.

"We will meet again in the future."

Lilian stood where she was, staring blankly at the man walking away and disappearing into the bushes.

"Grandma! Grandma!" Lilian, who was wearing a rag skirt, ran all the way home, panting out of breath as she carried the fish.

The door was open, and her grandmother was sitting inside in the living room, sorting out the plump beans for seeds.Seeing the little girl running over like this, the old grandma was very surprised, "What's wrong Lilian? Did something happen?"

She knew that Lilian was very well-behaved and would not run too far, just playing games around here.So why is it like this?Did something happen outside?

Life has just stabilized, and the grandmother does not want to have any more twists and turns.

"Grandma, I just met someone and he gave me this."

The fish on the straw rope was still alive, with its mouth wide open and its tail flicking weakly.Lilian's face was full of joy, and her voice was high and low, as if she was singing.

"Ah, I can have fish soup tonight...By the way, who did you say you met? Was it the uncle next door?" The old lady was a little curious.

"No. It's... a very beautiful person. White hair, emerald green eyes, like a newly grown leaf, stained with morning dew, as beautiful as a jewel. He is under the big tree by the lake , fishing."

Lilian's face gradually turned red when she thought of that person.

She seemed to have a rabbit in her heart, jumping around quickly.

The old lady couldn't remember, "Is it someone passing by? I heard that someone came here to find some things left before. If it's someone you don't know, you must never get closer, it's too dangerous."

"No, he said he was a neighbor." Lilian happily lifted the hem of her skirt and twirled around, then stopped, "He knows me, grandma, he calls me Lilian." When the name came out of that person's mouth For the first time, she felt that this ordinary name sounded so nice.

Who is this person?

Qing Chuan didn't take this meeting to heart, let alone know that a little girl put him in his dream.

This rainy season is a bit busy because there are more people passing by.

Not everyone has good intentions. Some desperadoes, like jackals, have a greedy and vicious heart, which can be seen in their eyes.

Ivan went out to recruit new people, but he attracted not only desperate refugees, but also hungry wolves.

They found this oasis in the desert and wanted to occupy and destroy it.

"If they just want to plunder, then let them stay forever." Qing Chuan watched those people's bones turn into powder indifferently.

The Plague Lord closed the book, nodded to him as a greeting, and left.She now has her own business in the small world, maintaining a magical forest.

In the small world of Qingchuan, the Lord of Plague has a city of the dead. It is said that a magical fruit tree grows in it, and the fruit on it has miraculous effects on diseases.This is also an example of extremes.

Beside the ashes, the workers hired by the mercenary group were trembling for those who did not die.

Qing Chuan's hand is too much like that kind of dark magician, or simply a necromancer.Even the notorious Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps is afraid of this kind of person, not to mention that the real mercenaries are all dead, silently and horribly.

The wild wolf mercenary group is not an unknown person outside, but in front of this person, they are reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.A summoned demon opened the book and took their lives.

It's like the legendary god of death.

There were more than 20 people alive at the scene. They were not real mercenaries, but labor slaves. There were men and women, old and young.Usually doing odd jobs for little or no money.

This is hired by the mercenary group at the cheapest price, and it has a role similar to death squads and logistics, consumables.

They are refugees like Ivan.If they weren't refugees, they wouldn't be doing odd jobs for this kind of plundering mercenary regiment.

Since the danger of these people is not so great, and they need people on their side, they will naturally accept all those who come to their door.So Qingchuan took away all the 20-somethings in this group.

They also have relatives at home, such as old parents, wives and children, sick and weak sisters and brothers, and so on.In this case, Qingchuan also 'asked' clearly through the mirror demon one by one, and then asked people to 'pick up' them, so there were more than 20 people in the last episode, and there were almost fifty.

None of them dared to say a word about escaping. The matter of the Lord of Plague was still a nightmare at midnight.The family members who were picked up also did not dare. With such an unpredictable way of picking up people, they were almost scared out of courage. How could they have the courage to resist?

Qing Chuan put these people in one place, locked them up for two days, ate and drank little, and ate and drank in a small room.

They were all terrified, probably afraid that Qingchuan, the 'black magician', would sacrifice them to the devil, just like the mercenaries before.For the past two days, I dare not eat or sleep, and lost a lot of weight in two days.

People are always full of imagination for things that are difficult for them to understand.

"I am the lord of this place, the lord of Silence. I welcome all those who come in with good intentions. You are welcome to settle here and live here for a short time. I heard this when you stepped into this place, but You still came in. Moreover, you broke my trust and came in with malicious intentions. I am very sorry..."

The people gathered in the room hugged each other and trembled all over. They didn't expect this person to be so powerful. He could find out the location of their family without asking anything, and even brought him here.

(Mirror demon: hidden merit and fame.)

If they had known earlier, the wild wolf mercenary group would never have thought of calling them away even if they offered a gold coin.However, it is too late now, there is not even a wild wolf mercenary group in this world.

Now they were called to one place again, not knowing what was waiting for them.Even family members, the elderly, children and partners are involved.

Some sensitive and vulnerable people have already begun to cry, fearing that they will die even worse if they are offended, so they dare not even cry out, so they can only hold back their tears.

"Originally, I wasn't going to let the intruder go. But..."

The dozens of people below took a breath, and then took a very neat breath, looking at Qingchuan carefully and eagerly.

"Considering that you may not have entered here voluntarily, and I don't want to give you all a death sentence at once. After thinking about it, I still want to give you a chance, a chance to live well."

Qing Chuan was sitting on a chair, with one elbow resting on the armrest, supporting his chin, and the other hand resting on the other armrest. His fingers lightly tapped the armrest, making a slight sound.But the sound fell on the ears of the people below, like thunder.

They anxiously waited for the final judgment to come.

What will it be?

"Sign a ten-year contract of sale."

Slavery is still popular outside, and each lord has a bunch of serfs.They either changed from free people to serfs after committing crimes, or they sold themselves because of poverty or other reasons, or they were kidnapped by slave owners secretly.

And a lot of weak aliens and aliens with attractive traits.For example, beautiful and noble elves like Qingchuan, or mermaids known for their beauty and singing voice, if they are left alone and their own abilities are not strong, they are the targets of some people.The powerful among human beings have always been very good at killing.

The more than 20 people who came to commit crimes were originally criminals, and they were killed without complaint. Now they have been converted into serfs, and they have only been ten years old.

Qingchuan did not implement the system of continuous sitting, and their relatives would become free citizens here and receive all the treatment of free citizens, including three-year heavy tax exemption and gifts of land and homesteads.Although mandatory, it cannot be refused.

After listening to the 'punishment' given by Qingchuan, all the anger and sadness were quenched by a pot of warm water.

I thought that I would be fed to the monsters after being tortured, but I didn't expect this to be the final outcome.

Like, sounds good?

Rebound under pressure, prepared for the worst but the result is not bad, everyone even began to think that Qing Chuan is a good person, a very good person.

The "Pingminfang", which was planned from the beginning, continued to be built according to Qingchuan's plan.

The road in the shape of Feng character has a stone road more than ten meters wide in the middle, with street trees and stone benches for rest on both sides.On both sides of the avenue are gravel paths with a width of four to five meters, and on both sides of the path are houses arranged horizontally.

Each family has a layout of [-] square meters with a [-]-square-meter garden, and is a combination of local stones, bricks and stucco, but the specific appearance of each family is still somewhat different.Such as the location and size of the chimney, whether there is a loft and decoration, etc.

The most beautiful are the homes of old women and little girls.

When Qingchuan sent paper figurines to help, they helped build a one-story masonry building with a pointed attic. The door was made into a beautiful arch, and a stone trough for planting flowers and plants was surrounded at the corner.Now there are all kinds of seasonings.

A large window sill protrudes from the window of the attic, which is a small semi-circular platform, where the flowers and plants transplanted by the little girl are placed.

The attic is the little girl's room, which is tall and spacious, and the girl next door cried with envy.

Because the family of four in the house next door is still an ordinary-style house, children and adults are crowded in one room, and the adults use a piece of rag to block that small corner when they are doing business.In fact, the room is not small, it can be more than 30 square meters.So their family is also planning to divide one room into two recently.

People who were "serfs" because of mistakes did not have land and homesteads, but their families did. Basically, those in their 20s all had families, and there were only three bachelors.

They were allocated homesteads and fields. There was only one piece of homestead, but the land was given according to the number of adults. One family got three pieces of land because they had a pair of parents and a younger sister.

When my younger sister gets married in the future, this piece of land will also be part of the dowry. This is a gift from the lord, and neither parents can stop it.It's a bit inconsistent with the default marriage-born male eldest son inheritance system here, but he has the final say on Qingchuan's territory.

If there are children in the family, they can get goose cubs, no matter how small they are, they are considered as babies.And every household has several chicks, a swaying tender yellow chick, and a plump and round one.

Qingchuan gave the serfs a month to help reclaim their land and build houses.The family needed labor to build the house, so he wouldn't even give it time.A little pity, in exchange for a lot of gratitude.

After that, they need to build bridges, build roads, and plant trees. This is their task.

The three serfs without family members were granted three pieces of homestead in advance, and they are only living there now. After ten years or meritorious service, this piece of land and the house above it are theirs.

"Son, you have to work hard."

One morning when the serfs had already started planting trees, before dawn, every household had already started cooking.The earthenware pot is sprinkled with green beans and a freshly folded vegetable leaf, and poured a small spoonful of soy sauce, which smells very fragrant.

The grandma at home surrounded the firepit, stirring the food in the clay pot with a wooden spoon, and giving instructions carefully.

The heat of the fire and the aroma of the food are reassuring.

What was burned in the stove were knotted bamboo branches, leaves and branches picked up from the woods. At first they were not used to using bamboo, but now it is no problem, but they need to be split to avoid noise.Moreover, bamboo has a delicate fragrance when it burns, which is not unpleasant.

The old father was sitting by the fire, drying the wet clothes he had soaked yesterday when he visited his land.Each of them had only one set of clothes and no change of clothes.Wear this one in summer and add another layer in winter.In order to avoid wear and tear during labor, it is best to take it off when working.

Cloth is a luxury, even nobles cannot waste it casually.

"The lord is a good man. He let us live here, gave us a house and land, exempted us from land and poll taxes for three years, and lent us these grains and tools. My child, you should be grateful." Ah Mom continued to tell her children.

After actually living here, she often said this, her attitude changed completely, and she couldn't remember the self who scolded every night when she first came here.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm still at home." The younger sister said the same thing, she was more enthusiastic and active than their parents.

She feeds the family chickens in the corner, a little boiled beans, some grass seeds, and a few worms.She is responsible for raising the chickens at home, as well as lambs on credit.The work is not heavy, cut some grass and catch some bugs.

The Lord's Mushroom House offers lamb on credit.

Ever since she was allocated a piece of land as a 'dowry', she has become a diehard loyalist of the lord, and no one can say a bad word about the lord in front of her, although no one said anything.

White smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every house.

The more than 20 people were sent out of the house by their enthusiastic and realistic family members, and all the instructions they received were "work hard and repay the lord" and the like.

Living in a warm and solid house, eating good and delicious food, owning land, and raising lovely livestock, they can no longer remember the horror of being brought here.It can be said that soon on the spiritual level, he changed his identity from a refugee to a free citizen of the quiet leader.

No one can deprive them of all this.

After the younger sister sent her elder brother away, she was very happy to talk to her family about the new things she only learned yesterday.

"There seems to be a lot of mushrooms in the mushroom room. It is said that the goblins next door planted them, and they can be exchanged for some very cheaply. The mushrooms are delicious when added to the soup. Don't Dad like mushrooms?"

"Really? If you think it's good, you can exchange it for a little bit, just a little bit. But I'm going to the lake to catch fish. Everyone can get one fish from the lord's land every day, and we have three in our family." He can't give up this free quota no matter what.

"Can mushrooms and fish be cooked together? It will be so fresh that your tongue will fall off." The mother at home said happily.

When old John was fishing with his long pole net, he met old Jerry who came from the next door.The two of them knew each other before, and their son was a friend who grew up on the street, and now he chose to be a neighbor.

"Good day, old man, are you going fishing?"

"Good day, I'm going to catch fish, what about you? What are you going to do with your rattan basket and hoe?"

The two greeted each other with a bit of comfort on their faces.

"I'm going to dig some bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. Although there are not many of them, I can still find some if you look carefully. Cut the bamboo shoots and dry them, they can be stored for a long time, and you can eat this delicious food all year round. Food." Old Jerry's wife liked the food very much.

In other places, it is a crime for the lord to acquire something that belongs to the lord, and he will be punished.But here, these things still belong to the lord, but the lord can get a 'free quota' under the lord's kindness.

Now the "free quota" includes a certain amount of forage, dead branches in the woods, wild mushrooms, wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, and there are also very important fish and other aquatic products in the lake.

The two old men walked together, they walked out of the path and onto the flat road.

The road is paved with stone slabs, so it doesn't hurt your feet at all, and it's no problem to walk without straw sandals, but they are barefoot.

Outside, it's not surprising that many poor people don't have shoes.But the wives of both are learning how to make shoes with straw rope recently.Because of the free quota, they can generously collect the kind of thin and tough aquatic plants to make soft straw sandals.

The trees on the side of the road are in bloom. I don't know what kind of flower it is, but there is a pleasant fragrance in the wind.If you are tired from walking, there are flat stone chairs on both sides, where you can sit and rest for a while.

But they didn't feel tired on this road. When they walked out of the residential area, there were large farmlands on both sides, which were their fields, and there were different wooden signs.The two greeted the laborers one by one, said hello to each other, and stopped to exchange some information, such as what good things appeared in the mushroom house.

At the end of the road is the newly renovated park by the lake.

The park was surrounded by stone pillars, and a huge black iron gate opened.

The inside is extremely beautiful, with a wisteria stone corridor, a large flat lawn, many beautiful flowers and tall trees.There is also a circular pool inside, and there is a kind of golden, red, silver white, and colorful ornamental fish in the water. They have never seen such a beautiful fish.

There are green-shell turtles crawling on the stone slabs of the sloping pool, and those tortoises crawl back and forth proudly on the stone slabs.They are not afraid of people at all.

Of course, there is no need to be afraid, because the plants and animals in the park can only be seen, not moved.

People can have a tryst under the wisteria trellis, fish by the lake, play the piano and sing love songs under the huge banyan tree.Or a family sitting in a pavilion admiring the mountains in the distance - before, they had never had such a leisurely way of wasting time.

The green hills like a tapestry are smudged with layers of green in different colors, dotted with red or yellow flowers.

The green mountains and green waters reflect each other, which is a very beautiful picture.

It was no longer as barren as it was at the beginning. There was a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and local trees, shrubs, vines, herbs, etc. were planted on the mountain according to the previous information.More than ten kinds of trees from different places, such as pine, cypress, maple, and osmanthus, were transplanted, as well as flowering plants such as crabapple, rhododendron, jasmine, thyme, and honeysuckle.

That is where the serfs work these days. They are not the main force, but the puppets under the lord are the main force-everyone knows this.

"My son did a good job yesterday. The lord rewarded him with an egg. It is said that only three people got the egg." Old Jerry said with some pride.

Eggs are not a cause for pride, being rewarded is.The lord said that at the end of the year, if you do a good job, part of the punishment time for serfs will be deducted, and you can become a leader in advance. This is what everyone desires.

Listening to his old friend's showing off, Old John frowned, determined to tell his son again at night.

At this time, a jet-black three-headed demon dog with shiny fur came running from the other side of the road.The three heads seemed to be still arguing, and while they were arguing, they ran, blown by like the wind.

People on the road stepped aside one after another, even took off their hats, leaned their bodies slightly, and bowed to show respect.

This is the lord's pet, and everyone knows it.

Because just three days ago, this magic dog scared a child off a big banyan tree and fell into the water, and then this magic dog went into the water to rescue the child, but the child was frightened and started to have a fever.

For civilians, a child's fever is a serious disease that will kill them. They can't afford medicines and holy water, and they look down on doctors.

But that night, the lord brought the magic dog to the door to apologize in person, and sent medicine to resist the wind and cold, as well as a bag of sugar and a fat chicken to the family.

The child recovered after taking the medicine and sweating. He is still alive and kicking, and he likes to climb the big banyan tree. It doesn't affect him at all.

That family got a bag of sugar and a chicken that lays eggs every day for nothing. I don't know how many people would like to replace it with their bodies.

This was the first time they knew that a creature like the lord would apologize, and it was for such a trivial matter.

Not only did the citizens feel that the lord's height and majesty were not compromised by this, but they also felt that the lord was more amiable and respectable.

They respected the lord, even his pets.

"Ah!" Who is missing me today?

Qing Chuan stretched out his hand and pinched his nose, restored his gentle smile, and looked at the new 'teachers' opposite.
