新石器时代

Ji Huaifeng patiently explained the origin of the place "Niu Niu".

Niu Niu is a village, a place similar to Longhu Town where survivors live together.There are also people in Niu Niu who trade and buy things, and there are people who live and hunt outside, and Niu Niu people also have to pay taxes.However, Niu Niu's place is much larger than Longhu Town, and the guards in Longhu Town are only in charge of the town, while Niu Niu's guards are in charge of both inside and outside.As long as it is where the Niu Niu people live, it is within the scope of the guards' patrolling and guarding.

——The biggest difference is that Niu Niu's escort team is played by all the residents in turn.Each patrols a few nights a month.Because there is no need to maintain a guard team, Niuniu people have to pay much less tax than Longhu Town; Niuniu has much more permanent residents than Longhu Town.

There is one thing Ji Huaifeng didn't say, that is, Niu Niu's folk customs are much tougher than Longhu Town.

"Okay why is it called 'Niu Niu'"

Although he heard Ji Huaifeng say it countless times, Gu Xiaolu still felt that the name was very strange.

"It is said that when the person who built the town first arrived there, his youngest son pointed to the two raised places on the hill and said 'Niu, Niu'. They found that the shape of the hill resembled a bull's head, so it was called Niu Niu. gone."

To be honest, Ji Huaifeng had never been there either.He also heard everything about Niu Niu.He never thought about staying in one place for a long time before.But it's different now.Gu Xiaolu kept saying that he wanted to stay and plant those sweet potatoes - if he piled them up in baskets, they might start to germinate.

Ji Huaifeng knew that he just wanted to settle down and live a stable life for a few days.No one would feel bored and weary after wandering around like this for a long time.Gu Xiaolu didn't want to go any further, he could only find nearby settlements as much as possible.There are only two who meet the conditions - Longhu Town and he doesn't want to go back, so the only one left is Niu Niu.

He also thought that he might as well live there for a while to rest and recuperate.If it's not easy to stay, at worst, just change the place.But Gu Xiaolu's appetite had obviously been whetted, and he was pulling him all day long asking Niu Niu how this one was and that one was like that.What Ji Huaifeng heard was hollowed out, so he could only throw a sentence to him in a mysterious way: "You will know when you arrive."

Gu Xiaolu was dissatisfied: "You said that before, but you took me to the hospital. Who knows if there is a bigger hospital in front of you!"

Ji Huaifeng: ""

Gu Xiaolu has always believed that there is a hospital behind that door in that mountain.He knew it was not, but he couldn't produce any evidence to refute it - after all, they just walked around the door and left.So at this time, he can only keep silent.

After walking like this for more than half a month, they finally saw a sentry on the road ahead.

The sentry post was built with wood, and there was only an empty shelf underneath. A small watchtower was built about five or six meters above the ground. Someone was looking around inside with a long gun.There is no writing on the sentry post, only a big bull's head made of branches is inserted.Gu Xiaolu patted Ji Huaifeng's shoulder in a good mood: "They should put two ox heads. Now there is only one ox?"

Ji Huaifeng has completely seen through his nature of liking to talk about nothing: "If they let go of two, are you going to say again, this is not Niu Niu, but Er Niu or Shuang Niu?"

Gu Xiaolu chuckled, but didn't object.

"By the way, if we live here, if we go to other places in the future, don't we have to say we are from Niu Niu when people ask us where we are from? It feels very—very weird."

During the speech, he had already walked under the sentry post.

When I got closer, I found that besides the man with the long gun above, there was a tall man with a pockmarked face standing guard at the intersection—all of them were holding a long, big and sharp butcher's knife in their hands.This intersection is actually a mountain pass, and Gu Xiaolu visually judged that its width may not be 50 meters.In short, like the entrance of Longhu Town, it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As soon as they approached, six eyes, two knives and one gun were aimed at them.

"What are you doing?" the person standing in the sentry above asked loudly.

Ji Huaifeng immediately raised his hands, and squeezed his eyes hard at Gu Xiaolu.Gu Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, then imitated his example and raised his hand.

"He's here to exchange things." Ji Huaifeng's voice was full of arrogance.

The man on the post grabbed one of the wooden stakes and slid it onto the ground. The muzzle of the gun kept changing directions between Gu Xiaolu and Ji Huaifeng, and commanded majestically, "Put this thing down! Search!"

Ji Huaifeng knew that there were such rules in every place, so he untied the rattan basket and put it on the ground.Then he straightened his chest and put his hands on his hips and said to Gu Xiaolu, "Xiaolu, put yours down too, let them see."

His straightforwardness surprised the three of them.The two men with knives looked at each other and began to rummage in their wicker baskets.Ji Huaifeng raised his feet again and said, "It's not easy for us brothers to save this little stuff, so be careful."

The two people saw that he was quite cooperative, and the rummaging movements became much lighter.They turned the two rattan baskets upside down, and turned out all the clothes, fur, sweet potatoes, dried meat, walnuts, pots and bowls.Finally, the tall man turned over the bottom few small bottles, "What is this?"

"medicine."

"Where did it come from?"

"Given by the movie king of Longhu Town."

After Ji Huaifeng finished speaking, the tall man raised the bottle and turned to ask the gunman: "Luo Liang, didn't you just go to Longhu Town—"

Luo Liang's eyes changed instantly, and the bullet point almost pointed at Ji Huaifeng's forehead.

"When did he give it to you?"

Ji Huaifeng tried hard to calculate the time since the actor left, "It's been more than a month, right? I can't remember."

Luo Liang withdrew the gun, his eyes dimmed: "So let's forget about what happened before he left, and it's my bad luck." Gu Xiaolu interjected and asked, "Why are you looking for the film emperor? He seems to be going—ah——" While Gu Xiaolu was talking, Ji Huaifeng pinched his waist severely, and he cried out in pain.Just as she was about to turn around and scold Ji Huaifeng, she saw him blinking at her continuously.He finally understood that Ji Huaifeng didn't want him to reveal the whereabouts of the actor.So he changed his tone: "He and I used to be neighbors across the door. We walked together, but we separated halfway along the road. I don't know where he went."

Luo Liang's eyes lit up again: "The people in Longhu Town did say that he walked with a neighbor, what's his name, so it's you?" Gu Xiaolu shrugged: "My name is Gu Xiaolu. But it's useless for you to find me now. I don't know where he is either."

Luo Liang bit his lip and thought for a while, then said, "You guys are here to exchange things, right? Go in first, and I'll take you to my house for a rest." Without waiting for Ji Huaifeng and Gu Xiaolu to agree, he threw the gun To the tall man with the knife: "Liu Damao, please watch for a while, I'll be back soon."

Ji Huaifeng guessed that someone in Luo Liang's family might be sick or injured, so he was anxious to find the actor.It's a pity that the actor has gone straight to Xinhai now - he knows the place of Xinhai, at least [-] kilometers away from Longhu Town.If Luo Liang really went to look for him, he might be exhausted on the way.

He kept his composure and repacked the turned-out things by himself, and called Gu Xiaolu: "Clean up quickly. We are lucky today, Brother Luo will guide us."

He used to like to call others brothers and sisters when he was in the underworld, but now he shouted brothers very smoothly, as if he had known them hundreds of years ago.Gu Xiaolu didn't like his style of getting close to others everywhere, so he simply kept silent all the time.Ji Huaifeng asked him to clean up, but he procrastinated for a long time before putting away his things.

Luo Liang really brought them in, and turned around and said, "This brother hasn't asked for advice yet?" Ji Huaifeng followed with a 12-degree vigilance, "Ji Huaifeng, hunting and burning charcoal." Later, Liu Damao said: "I told you two to be careful! He's trying to get your bottles of potions! Hahaha"

Luo Liang turned around and gave him a hard gouged look, and then looked at Ji Huaifeng with some unease: "Ahem, don't listen to their nonsense." Unexpectedly, Liu Damao brandished a butcher's knife and shouted: "Luo Liang, if you want to kill people for profit Remember to call us together, the potion is yours, I want that little boy—" He deliberately delayed for a long time before continuing: "The sweet potatoes! And the dried meat! And the fur!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Xiaolu's face turned red and then turned pale—half angry, half frightened.

These people dare to openly discuss such things as murder and robbery in broad daylight. How bad is the law and order in Niu Niu's place?He really wanted to rush back to Longhu Town.

He shuffled behind, when Ji Huaifeng suddenly turned his head and firmly hugged his shoulders: "It's okay, he was joking." He laughed at Liu Damao as he spoke, "Is that right, Liu Damao?" Liu Damao grabbed the butcher The knife made a gesture to rush forward: "I'm just kidding, believe it or not, I will castrate you first!" Ji Huaifeng rubbed his knuckles with both hands and thought, "Come on, I haven't fought for a long time."

Gu Xiaolu was expressionless: "Did you forget? You just had a fight with someone before we left Longhu Town, and I was kicked out to spend the night outside!"

Luo Liang actually snapped his fingers: "Hey! I heard about this when I was in Longhu Town. I heard that your house is still on fire, right?"

Gu Xiaolu spread his hands and smiled wryly: "The world is so fucking small."

They officially entered Niuniu.

Gu Xiaolu discovered that Niu Niu is indeed very different from Longhu Town.

Longhu Town entered the mountain pass, and inside was a narrow and narrow valley that was completely enclosed.The people in the town enclose the land and build houses inside, and the land is almost divided up.After Niu Niu enters the mountain pass, it is also a valley, but that valley

"It's bigger than Longhu Town, bigger than Longhu Town, and thicker than Longhu Town!" Luo Liang said proudly.

The valley is indeed very long and winding, and it is almost impossible to see the end after entering.It is indeed very big, with a very large flat land sandwiched between the mountains on the left and right sides.As for roughness, Gu Xiaolu really couldn't tell.

He couldn't help asking: "Where is Niu Niu thicker than Longhu Town?!"

Luo Liang rubbed his thumb on the tip of his nose: "Niu Niu's trees are thicker than those in Longhu Town."

Gu Xiaolu: ""

He seriously suspected that this was just deliberately fabricated by Niuniuren for the sake of saving face.Trees are all big and small, so how could one place be thicker than another?

But after passing through a bamboo forest, he believed it.The mountains inside and outside Longhu Town are full of thin bamboos; when he usually cuts some, he can only weave some small utensils, cut some small bamboo arrows, etc., and they can't be used to build beds and build houses at all.But Niu Niu's bamboo is getting stronger and stronger, and it can be used for everything.

Gu Xiaolu has even started to fantasize about cutting down those bamboos and weaving a room full of things, and then getting back a lot of dried meat.

Ji Huaifeng leaned close to his ear, and said with some treasure: "How is it? This place is much better than Longhu Town, right?"

In fact, the valley where Niu Niu is located is similar to the many valleys they have traveled through.The only difference is that there are people living here, sentries, and patrols, but there are no outside.That is to say, if they can find enough people and find a place that can be defended, they can also build such a place.

The current world is almost infinite to them.

But he doesn't want to.Now he just wants to have a quiet place to guard Gu Xiaolu quietly.

Gu Xiaolu shook his head and looked at it for a long time, then nodded: "Not bad."

He smiled with relief.

There is a winding stream flowing in the middle of the winding valley.There is a small bridge made of two logs across the stream.After crossing the small bridge and walking to the foot of the mountain opposite the stream, a corner of the house appeared in the middle of a clump of thick trees.

"My house is here." Luo Liang said.

Gu Xiaolu recognized that it was a cement bungalow left over from before the disaster.The structure of the whole house was still intact, but it was dark inside and out, as if it had been burned by a fire.

Luo Liang explained: "When we first arrived here, there were still many old houses here, and they were still in good condition inside and out. Others were afraid that there would be residual viruses inside, and they would not dare to live if they saw it. I am not afraid— —Look, once I set fire to it, all viruses and bacteria went to see Marx! Come in—”

What Gu Xiaolu had to admit was that Luo Liang's house was stronger and more spacious than the mayor's house in Longhu Town.Even the inside was burnt to pitch black, so it didn't look so good.

In the past, he was also afraid of the virus. When he saw a place where people lived, he was too late to run, so he dared to live in it - he immediately admired Luo Liang.

At this time, Ji Huaifeng glanced at the corner of the room, sneered and said, "You are really planning on our potion."
