Plants vs. Zombies

When Abigail was led by Man to the door of Kangji's house, Liu Dingjia was hard at work shoveling snow on the roof.

Thanks to Linda's guidance and help, Liu Dingjia used a mixture of pea dregs, corn pudding, weeds and soil to thickly coat the roof of the stone house in two layers, with another layer bought from a store in between. The oilcloth (which cost 120 copper coins), and the four walls were also painted inside and outside, which made Liu Dingjia slightly think that his stone house should survive the coming winter snowstorm.

Hearing Man calling him below, Liu Dingjia casually threw the shovel on the roof.After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he slowly slid down the wooden boards on the stone house, but finally fell on the snow because he couldn't control the speed of his slide.

Seeing Liu Dingjia fell to the ground, Man quickly stepped forward to help him up, led him to Abigail, and introduced him to the two: "Kangji, this is Abby, the deputy head of the Ivis mercenary group." Gail, she's Bernie's niece. Abby, he's Conji, whom Shae asked you to take care of."

"Hello." Liu Dingjia looked up at the tall female warrior, but didn't smile.These days, he has already figured out why he has a weird frightened expression when he smiles——Kang Ji is not only dark, thin, and lame, but also has an ugly face, and the upper and lower lips of one mouth are crooked and long. If you don't smile, others will look at you as an ordinary ugly monster. Once you laugh, you can only describe it as "terribly ugly".

Therefore, Liu Dingjia usually does not use a smile to express his kindness and friendliness to others. He does not want others to say behind his back that he is an "ugly person who makes trouble".

"Hello." Abigail greeted Kang Ji with a smile on her face. After all, she is the deputy leader of the regiment, and she will not be frightened by Liu Dingjia's ugly face.In this age of forensic medicine (magic-physician) technology is extremely developed, as long as you have money, let alone ugly, even a freak with an octagonal face can become a peerless beauty.What's more, after so many years of walking in the "jianghu", Abigail has seen people uglier than Liu Dingjia.

When the two met for the first time, their impressions of each other were neither good nor bad.Liu Dingjia welcomed people into the stone house. Although his house was shabby and dilapidated, it was better than letting the guests stand outside and be attacked by the wind and snow.

Abigail stood by the burning fire in the center of the stone house. She found that the ugly little ghost named Kang Ji was really poor. Except for the stone bed and the piles of clothes and a little food on it, there was nothing but burning fire on the fire. There is a pot of hot water (the iron pot is a kind loan from Lianda).Liu Dingjia took out three wooden bowls and filled a bowl of steaming boiled water for everyone—don't blame him for being stingy, "Kangji" now has an external image of a poor little pitiful, how can there be good things to entertain guests.A cup of hot water, "the etiquette is light and the affection is heavy".

After eating a bowl of hot tea, the three of them felt much more comfortable.Only then did Liu Dingjia start asking Abigail about their itinerary, to see when they could take him to Anxiana.

Handing the wooden bowl back to Liu Dingjia, the female mercenary sat on the stone bed with a carefree voice: "We just arrived at Pan Leo Village today, and tomorrow we will go to Panxi Snow Mountain to collect salt stones, and we will be back in three days, I hope you Don't mind waiting another three or four days."

"Then I'll wait for you for another three or four days, and I don't know if bringing me will cause trouble to you." Liu Dingjia said.

Abigail said indifferently, "As long as you don't run around and follow my orders, you won't cause any trouble to us."

"Okay, I will definitely listen to you and not run around. I still cherish my life." Liu Dingjia was half joking.

However, the Ives Corps came down from Panxi Snow Mountain and returned to Panrio Village two days later than what Abigail said.Seven or eight of the 31 people in the mercenary group were injured after going out this trip, and three of them were seriously injured.The wounded who were seriously injured had to be left in the village to recuperate and heal their injuries. Two other doctors and pharmacists were also left behind.Others have to rush to transport the collected salt rocks to Anxiana.And Liu Dingjia also left the small village of Pancio with Abigail's mercenary group.

What surprised Liu Dingjia was that Abby temporarily lent him a small space ring to store the things he wanted to sell: "It will be more convenient to use this." Not only Liu Dingjia's things, but also the things they collected in Panxi Snow Mountain Other goods are also placed in the space ring.

But the salt stone was put in a cart and dragged away by horses.

"Why don't you put these things in the space ring?" Riding on the horse, Liu Dingjia nestled in the arms of Abigail's fiancé, Sammy/Daly, who was also a member of Ives. Very curious about things like salt rocks.Judging from the casualties of Ives this time, it is quite difficult and dangerous for a mercenary group like Ives to enter Panxi Snow Mountain to collect salt rocks, but Ives has almost every quarter. It is necessary to send personnel one to three times to collect—Liu Dingjia originally thought that this thing was a block of salt, but now it seems that it is by no means so simple.

Carefully controlling the horses to move forward, Sammy/Daly pulled down the brim of his hat and explained in a low voice next to Liu Dingjia's ear: "Salt stone is highly corrosive to items with space attributes, which is also its value. "Space magic used to be one of the scariest magics in the world. The necromancer George/Edgar's chief general, Royal II, was a famous space magician in history. The attack of the undead army has an immeasurable effect, and its value in the magic world is still extraordinary today.

It's a pity that Panxi Snow Mountain is too terrifying, even the sixth-ranked Ives mercenary group can't retreat in front of her.Moreover, even though they collected a whole truckload of salt rocks, the amount that can be extracted is probably less than half a sula (1 sura=1.5 kg).

After listening to Sami's explanation, Liu Dingjia couldn't help being a little stupid-stupid-wanting-moving, such a valuable thing, and "put" it not far from where he lives... Then he thought that Ives was still in Pancio Liu Dingjia hastily pushed down his greedy little thoughts as he recuperated from the wounded.Money is important, but life is even more important. With his current small body, he was probably buried alive by the snow before he reached the foot of the mountain.

The thumb of his right hand gently rubbed the ring worn on the little finger of his left hand. Liu Dingjia lowered his head and grinned. Maybe he can't make a lot of money now, but he still has a lot of time. Slowly accumulating, one day he will become rich. People, ask the best plastic surgeon to give yourself a facelift to treat your lame legs.

After walking for about eleven or twelve days, Ives and his team came to the very dangerous Erduo River in Horton's mouth with a team of people carrying a whole load of salt rocks. Immediately, they got off their horses and started walking on foot. Wrapped with at least two layers of cheesecloth to prevent slipping.

It was already the fourth month of autumn at this time, and the snowstorm in Suydun was more fierce than a month ago, and the Erdu River Valley seemed to be colder and more dangerous than other northern regions.This river, which spans almost three-quarters of the Ottoman Empire, is regarded as the most majestic and wonderful masterpiece of nature in the world, and it presents different styles in different regions. The great poet Rudolph once praised it It's ever-changing.

But now, Liu Dingjia, who has been walking hard for four days in the wind and snow, can only describe it as "thousands of miles frozen".Fortunately, it was frozen for thousands of miles. Although the wind and snow were strong enough to blow away Kang Ji's thin firewood and bury him alive, it also gave the mercenary group a chance to walk directly across the river.

At the front of the team are two ice magicians, who are responsible for dealing with the weak ice in the middle of the river and the occasional fire maw fish that break out of the ice.

The fire belly fish has a sharp and hard spiral skull with piranha-like sharp teeth. There are very gorgeous red and blue scales on the belly that look like flames. The tail is slender but flexible compared to the body.This kind of fish can drill through the ice layer as thick as 5 meters in a short time by using the huge rotating force of the tail and the spiral skull, and attack humans and animals walking on the ice.

This ferocious fish can be said to be the absolute king of the upper reaches of the Erduo River. In order to prevent them from harming the lower reaches, the Aodong Alliance will issue mercenary missions every autumn and February to call on the mercenary group to go to Suydun to hunt fire belly fish. .After years of continuous hunting, this ferocious king of the waters was barely confined to the upper reaches of the Erduo River.The reason why the time is in autumn and February is that the maw of fire maw fish contains a lot of oil, and autumn and February is the time when the fire maw fish has the most oil before laying eggs.Coming to Erduo to hunt fire maws during this period can not only complete the tasks issued by the alliance, but also refine the oil in the fish maws to sell, so the benefits of killing two birds with one stone will make those mercenary groups more excited and attract them to come.

Although the number of fire belly fish has been controlled, walking on Erduo in the Northland is still a very scary thing. It took them a total of three days to barely reach the middle of the river. Attacked no less than fifty times.

Liu Dingjia couldn't help giving thumbs up to the two female ice mages in admiration. Although other mercenaries also participated in resisting the attack of the fire belly fish, they were obviously the main force.Especially one of the female mages named Xilia, the contracted beast she possesses is simply awesome in Liu Dingjia's opinion.It's a pity that these two ladies don't like talking to people very much, otherwise Liu Dingjia would definitely come forward to strike up a conversation.

It was night, Liu Dingjia nestled in the tent, slowly gnawing on a piece of grilled wheat fish in his hand.Wheatfish is a kind of fish with strong phototaxis, and there are also a lot of them. When the Erduo River starts to freeze, they will gather in large groups and sleep under the ice.But Abigail and the others just opened a hole in the ice, lit a torch at the entrance of the hole, and this fish jumped out of the water desperately.Rush - a talkative mercenary with the nickname "Sola Sola (a bird that makes the sound of "Sola Sola" in its throat when sleeping, hence the name)", jokingly calling this fish the most stupid fish.

However, in Liu Dingjia's opinion, although this kind of fish is stupid, it tastes good, and the meat tastes like wheat flour roasted by warm fire.

After eating a piece of grilled fish, Liu Dingjia smacked his lips, feeling a little cold, so he secretly took out a sunshine bean from the space ring and chewed it in his mouth.After his body warmed up, he picked up another grilled fish and ate it.The other three people in the tent didn't notice his small movements, they still gathered on the other side to discuss something.Liu Dingjia eavesdropped on their conversation while gnawing on the fine wheat fish. It seemed that there was a problem on the border of Beidan. Many young people in the country may be drafted into the army.

Liu Dingjia has heard Linda mention that Beidan is a country adjacent to Suydun. Because there is a county bordering Schulz on the Aobei continent, these two countries have become the most chaotic places in the war. A war of varying sizes will break out in a few years.

Speaking of it, wars often occur between the two bordering continents among the three continents, and the first to unify is the Aonan continent-it is said to have been unified before being discovered by the other two continental countries 170 years ago, because it was Protected by a huge barrier, there has been no friction with the other two continents, let alone war.

Liu Dingjia suddenly thought evilly, if one day the Aonan Empire no longer lives in a corner, relying on the protection of a special barrier to invade the other two continents, hehe, I don’t know what the result will be, or the power of the barrier will fade However, how can the Aonan continent, which has always been peaceful, withstand the attacks of the other two continents that have suffered fierce wars all year round?

It's really interesting, but it has nothing to do with him.
