Crossing to the Wild

After sleeping peacefully in the City Lord's Mansion for two days, a pale light finally penetrated the cracks in the stone.

There is no need to go out to look secretly, Tianyang pulled out a piece of wall cleverly, and the sunshine of the morning after the snow poured into the room.

The snow has just stopped, today is destined to be a busy day, the elders are busy with various affairs, and the issue of the descendants of the city lord also makes them burnt out, almost forgetting that there are still two people locked up here.The city guard who was in charge of guarding them was not notified, and lazily stood guard outside the door.

Rong Yue was in a good mood, after making a disguise, she and Tian Yang sneaked out and walked on the busy street.

They didn't get up early, and all the stalls on both sides of the main road were set up. The residents of Courage City and the outsiders who came up from the ground to breathe, almost crowded the snow-covered stone city to the brim.

Fortunately, the weather was still cold, and the snow on the ground did not melt so easily, and it would be difficult to walk without a piece of mud.

There are all kinds of things sold in Brave City, just like the annual Snowmelt Valley Fair.There are more food stalls than Daji, and those who have a little money will come out every now and then to beat teeth, and the road is full of the smell of food.

"Look, Tianyang," Rong Yue pointed in surprise not far away: "Is that fried white tofu? I'm still looking at egg pancakes!"

Tian Yang asked him to stay where he was, and bought two portions with jerky, and when he came back, he handed the leaf bag to Rong Yue: "Try it."

These are all snacks invented by the Xingyue Tribe over the years. They are not all copied recipes. The barbarians have made various improvements and innovations to them with other ingredients at hand.

For example, the pancakes made with twisted seed paste earlier, the handy grandmother of Xingyue tribe added a special wild vegetable to make a new taste, which many people like.

I didn't expect to learn all about the city of courage. Sure enough, the roads have been repaired, the transportation is convenient, and everything is convenient.

Rong Yue took a small mouthful of tofu and stuffed it into her mouth. Even though it had no salty taste, the fried tofu squeezed out of peanuts was still delicious. White beans could barely replace soybeans after proper treatment. In the eyes of the barbarians, it is already a supreme delicacy.

The most important thing is that since these raw materials are all plants, they can be planted on a large scale in a safe area, the yield is greatly increased, and it is not expensive to exchange for dried meat.

It's a pity that the tribes east of Hoshino are still hovering on the verge of starvation. People can only drool and pinch their noses when they smell the fragrance on the street. Their supplies are usually not much left after handing them in, and they can't afford these fresh things.

Rong Yue sighed, and comforted herself by saying that next winter it won't happen, and then she will bring the tribes of the Melting Snow Valley Alliance to deliver mobile food trucks to them?

Looking at the excitement on both sides, suddenly a discordant cry came from the bustling crowd in front.

"Little one! Little two! Has anyone seen it? Two little bastards!" The man was crying sadly, it was a woman, and she kept calling the little boy's name repeatedly, asking passers-by.

"Grandmother was knocked out. Someone must have taken them away. One is three years old and the other is still being hugged. Have you seen it? Please, have you seen it?"

"How could it be that I ran away by myself? Grandma was knocked out!" The woman raised her voice, sobbing: "Who the hell is it? Who saw it? I beg you..."

The onlookers felt uncomfortable hearing it, but a few people's eyes flickered, as if they saw something but dared not say it.

At this moment, Rong Yue and Tian Yang squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.

It was also a stall selling food, and there was a big pot in front of the shed made of animal skins, which was boiling hot.

On the table next to them were the dried noodles sold by the Xingyue Tribe, as well as some side dishes and seasonings. The stall owner was a man, sitting on the ground holding his crying wife.

He was silent, but his expression was full of hope and bewilderment, and he hadn't accepted the sudden bad news yet.

"What's going on?" Rong Yue whispered to the surrounding crowd.

The man next door was dressed thickly, and was tightly wrapped in a jacket made of big white fur. Seeing that he was living well in this city of courage, when he heard someone ask him, he suddenly regained his energy and talked about it from the beginning to the end. again.

"This noodle seller lives in the back, and has been setting up a stall for several years. It used to sell broth. In the past year, it has bought a lot of fresh things called 'noodles' from the merchants. Oh, the taste is really delicious... Oh said What's the matter, I don't know when he formed a contract, he gave birth to two cubs, and his wife doesn't like to show up. It seems that he came out to meet people often recently."

Rong Yue hummed twice, and continued to listen to the man saying: "The two cubs are still young, the older one occasionally plays nearby, and the younger one is still raised at home, just now someone broke into their house and beat the old man. Haha, the bastard snatched it away...or the two disappeared together, look at this is not in a hurry."

The man said to himself: "It's really strange, what are you doing to snatch the cub? Hey..."

Rong Yue had many dark associations for a moment, but she immediately realized that this place is a wild place, and it stands to reason that there are not so many "professions" developed.

So, what to do with the cubs?

The nature of watching the excitement should not be underestimated, but after a moment or so, the place was completely blocked by people.

The city guard came to inquire, armed with a stone knife, and drove the man out of a gap.

"City guard!" The woman's eyes were shining, and she stumbled up: "My cubs are gone! Someone broke into the house and took them away! Please, Cheng Wei, help us find it, can you find it?"

The city guard ruthlessly drew out his knife and waved it around, shouting: "Everyone spread out! This side is completely blocked! Go away!"

The woman didn't get a response, so she dragged the city guard to keep asking, the city guard finally got annoyed, and scolded: "What are you looking for! Breaking into your house to snatch your son, who would do such a thing? Tell me, what do you want to do if you rob it? "

What are you doing?The woman was speechless for a moment, and froze in place.

In everyone's eyes, cubs have to be born by themselves, and it is meaningless to raise others.Human life here is short, so the concept of supporting the elderly has not been developed.Most of the cubs are born out of instinct and the desire to continue the bloodline.

What can you do if you rob other people's cubs?Raise for nothing?Everyone is not a fool, who will do things that are not beneficial?

Before everyone had time to think, another team of city guards came and finally cleared the road, then the burly leader came, learned about the situation from the people around, and said with serious eyes: "How do you prove that you have a son? "

"What?" The woman froze.

Leader: "I recognize you, you are Lancao, once the second wife of our city lord."

When these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"The ex-wife of the city lord!?"

"Why did you give birth to cubs with this vendor? Didn't you say you can't have babies..."

"Who knows if it was born by her? I have spoken to the owner of the stall, but I have never said that she is his married wife. Hey, I said why this person always stayed in the house before. It turns out that he has such an identity... ..."

"Speaking of which, where did the city lord's previous twenty wives go? It seems that he didn't say that he can't marry again."

"It's true that I can't say no, but it has been proven that I can't get a cub. Which man will marry? The cubs of this stall owner must not be born of orchid grass, right? What about the cubs' mother?"

……

There were constant whispers in the crowd, Rong Yue frowned and listened to the general idea, then stroked Tianyang's palm with her fingertips.

They didn't need to say much, they understood each other's meaning, Liu Rongyue watched the situation in place, and Tianyang disappeared in place.

The woman was stimulated one after another, and she forgot all her fears, and shouted hysterically: "What proof do you want!? That's my cub! I gave birth to it myself!"

Her throat is already hoarse, which makes people feel a little unbearable.

"Why should I lie to you? If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me, you can ask, ask the neighbor, many people have seen Xiaoyi! Xiaoyi often runs around in the stall!" She glanced eagerly at the crowd, but no one dared to speak out.

In Brave City, the city lord holds great power, but the residents don't have much chance to get in touch.On the contrary, the city guard, because it represents the meaning of the city lord and the elders, is worshiped and feared by ordinary people.

And this captain of the city guard was so imposing, he looked at the crowd with a chill, and no one dared to speak out for a short time.

After the silence, the eagerness on the woman's face was gradually replaced by despair, she murmured: "You guys, talk... Xiao Yi was still there just now... So many people saw it, so many people..."

The captain of the city guard twitched his lips undetectably, and was about to say something when he heard a clear voice: "She's right."

Swish, swish, Rong Yue suddenly became the focus of attention, and the people around him retreated spontaneously, creating a small circle around him.

It was only later that they realized that it was two people who gave up—Rong Yue was still tightly clasping the other's wrist, with a distressed and embarrassed expression.

Dragging the white-coated brother who just gave him the ins and outs of science, Rong Yue walked a few steps forward into the center circle.

"When I first came here, this elder brother told me that this stall owner had been in bond for several years and gave birth to two cubs. The older one often ran around, and the younger one was still kept at home. Everyone around knew about it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the white-coated brother: "Brother, are you right?"

The passer-by in the white jacket shook his hands, regretting his accusation a few minutes ago.

He was surprised, but he was just a weak-looking man with white and slender wrists, no matter how he held him, he couldn't break free! ?

Finding that he couldn't get rid of it, he finally gave up, resigned to his fate, and said, "I said it, but there are two cubs."

The corners of Rong Yue's eyes were slightly bent, and she looked at the city guard: "Look, there is indeed a cub, and it is indeed gone now. Rather than worrying about who gave birth, why don't you ask someone to look for it first, okay?"

This passer-by was articulate and organized in gossip before, with a moderate volume and without flinching.

In addition, he was well dressed, Rong Yue judged that his family background was good, such a person was less likely to be afraid of city guards, and generally dared to speak up.

Sure enough, after finding out that he was involved, he didn't hide anymore, and answered frankly.

Hope was rekindled in the woman's eyes, and the city guard's expression darkened, and he said, "Did you see it today?"

The passer-by was stunned: "I just came here today, I didn't see it."

Chengwei: "It doesn't necessarily mean that he was robbed, maybe he went somewhere to play."

Is this what people say! ?

No matter how stupid the onlookers were, they felt something was wrong at this moment.It's not a habitual liar, who would make fun of his own son?Others have no reason to snatch the cub, but do they have a reason to lie about losing the cub?

Even if orchid grass is not born, it is still the cub of the stall owner. The current attitude of the city guard seems to be deliberate.

Reminiscing that Lancao was once the second wife of the city lord, there are some people with big brains in the crowd, and the wings of imagination have been flapping like flies.

If others can think of it, Brother Baiao can naturally think of it too.

He frowned and said, "What are you trying to hide? Could it be that you were involved in the loss of this bastard?"

Chengwei's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted loudly: "Nonsense!"

If it was someone else, he would have been so frightened that he would have begged for mercy, but the white-coated brother looked worried, not like being scared, but rather bored?

Rong Yue was going to speak for him, but now she found that she was lucky, so she watched silently.

"I'm talking nonsense." Brother Baicoat stopped laughing, and became serious: "I heard that someone lost a cub. As city guards, you not only don't help, but suspect that other people's homes don't have cubs. Do normal people think so?"

The more he talked, the more he felt suspicious: "There is also this sister, Lancao, right? The city lord has married twenty wives, and those earlier ones were probably four or five years old, right? You guys still remember your looks and names, and you can say it casually." Shout out? Huh..." Brother Baicoat rolled his eyes: "Even my own wife has changed a lot after five years. When I saw her suddenly, I might have to hesitate."

The crowd laughed.

The city lord has a lot of prestige in the city of courage, and no one would dare to make fun of him, but now he is suddenly teased like this, everyone is very fresh, and there is a secret thrill.

Hey, so how on earth did the captain of the city guard recognize the bluegrass?

The captain of the city guard's face turned blue and red, which was very exciting. He took a deep breath for a while before waving his hand: "You, disrespecting the city lord, take it away and lock it up!"

Everyone didn't dare to laugh anymore, they all shrank back, for fear that the city guards would see that they laughed just now, otherwise wouldn't they be as unlucky as this person...

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, there was no fear on Brother Bai's face, but a mocking smile: "How dare you? My father is the twenty elder!"

The twists and turns, this good show turned upside down and suddenly turned into a struggle for power in the city of courage.

It stands to reason that the city guard shouldn't be afraid of the son of an elder, but the elder can control the city guard. If he offends someone, the day he takes him back is the moment he falls from the city guard's position...

The two stalemate, the honest stall owner and the dazed Lancao stand aside.

Lancao wanted to say where is my cub several times, but her courage seemed to have been exhausted just now, she opened and closed her mouth, unable to speak, only tears streaming down drop by drop.

Her father's generation began to settle in the city of courage, and once had a happy little family.

Lancao has grown well since she was a child, so she is very popular. Everyone said that she would marry a handsome, capable man with a good family background.

But the family situation is good, so good that she is afraid, but she has no expectations for this bond.

The city lord's wife hasn't been able to have a cub for a year. Although the time is not long, the city lord can't wait.Abandoned the old man, intends to marry a new man.At that time, Lancao had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after half a year, she didn't realize it, and she followed the old path of her previous wife.

After returning home, she was sad for a long time, and before she could come out of the shadows, her parents, who were not too old, caught a sudden illness and passed away in a hurry.

Lancao had no means of sustaining herself, and she would have to starve when the food stock was exhausted. She suddenly found that living was too difficult.And she can't have cubs, so she is destined to have nothing to worry about.

At the saddest moment, it was the stall owner who rescued her, picked her up, gave her food and drink, and said it was okay if she didn't have cubs.

Lancao was married to the city lord before, so it stands to reason that she can't remarry ostentatiously, she dare not go out to meet people, and the stall owner let her go.

The days were getting better day by day, and the most shocking thing happened to her—she, who was obviously barren, actually got a cub!

The city lord was still the first son of one term, but Lancao keenly understood the truth.It's not that she has a problem at all, it's the city lord who has a problem.

Keeping this secret and not intending to reveal it, Lancao and the stall owner lived their own lives. It wasn't until the past two years that no one paid attention to her and remembered her that she dared to come out to help the stall owner cook noodles together.

But the bad news came too fast, she almost desperately thought, where did her cub go, is she really going to lose it again?

"Bluegrass?" She suddenly heard someone calling her, and it seemed that she had been called several times.When she came back to her senses, she felt that the voice was gentle and clear, as if it was the softest silk scarf, which was warmed.

"Don't worry," Rong Yue comforted her in a low voice: "Your cub will come back, my companion has already gone looking for it."

"Really, really?" She let out a hoarse voice, and blushed again, she must have shouted dumb just now...

"Stop talking, just watch." Rong Yue smiled at both her and the stall owner.

They obviously didn't say anything useful, but the two of them settled down inexplicably.

While talking on this side, the other side was still arguing. After about 10 minutes, someone shouted from the outside: "The city, the city lord is here! And the elders!!!"

Huh, this battle.

The melon-eaters gave way spontaneously, the city lord and the elders both looked bad, they both approached from a distance, and asked at the same time: "What's going on!?"

After finishing speaking, the city lord saw Lancao and pretended to be surprised: "Why is it you!"

The city lord is Lancao's nightmare, just looking at him, Lancao's face turns pale.

But when she remembered the words of the young people around her, she suddenly felt strength in her body, raised her head again, and said with the loudest voice: "I, my cub was snatched away!"

The head of the city lord buzzed, never expecting that Lancao dared to speak out about this matter openly!

how can sheHow dare she!

Thinking that one sentence was not enough, Lancao continued: "Everyone believe in me, that is really my cub! After being kicked out of the city lord's mansion, I was with Apeng. I thought it was because I couldn't give birth, but Apeng I said I don't care... But we were together for only one season, I had a cub, I gave birth to Xiaoyi, and two years later, I had Xiaotwo again, and I haven't been weaned yet..."

"Everyone has seen Xiaoyi and Xiaoer, they are my own, I swear to God!" She said louder and louder, her face flushed: "The one who can't be born is the city lord!"

When all the elders came in a hurry, they happened to hear this loud sentence, and they almost fainted collectively.

"Stay away! All disperse—"

The elders brought a large group of city guards to chase people away, but what's the use?What should be heard is heard, and you can't forget it even if you want to. Everyone is just not good at thinking, and they are not really fools.The lord of the city has changed twenty wives, and if the wife is changed, there will be...

City Lord, it seems that it is really impossible!

Everyone's eyes stabbed the city lord's blood to his head.In his rage, his eyes turned black, and he shouted: "She is lying! She has no cubs! She can't give birth at all! Otherwise, where are the cubs? If you can find them, you will have proof!"

After the city lord shouted hysterically, he was convinced by himself.

He had someone throw those two boys into the ravine outside the city today. They should be thrown down now. They are still young, so it is impossible for them to climb up in a short time, nor can they be found.

The city lord kept comforting himself in his heart, trying to calm himself down, but the bad premonition was always with him, and he picked up when his words fell.

"found it."

Those three short words were like a hammer hitting the head of the city lord.

A familiar man, who should be locked in the city lord's mansion, appeared in front of everyone with a cub in one hand.

How did he get out?

bastard.

How did he find the cub! ?

"Hey, it's really Xiao Xiao Er!"

"Oh, put it down quickly, the cub is crying..."

"Is this the cub of that couple? It's very similar. The small one can't tell, but the big one looks like the bluegrass. Look at the eyes, they are exactly the same."

"I believe it was born by Lancao itself, otherwise it wouldn't be so precious..."

Tianyang put Xiao Yi down, and handed Xiao Er who was wrapped in swaddling clothes to the trembling stall owner.Little Luobotou threw himself into his mother's arms, crying until his heart broke.

The warmer this scene was, the more ridiculous it made the city lord.

His terribly thin body couldn't support the sudden blow at all, he staggered two steps, and fell down on the trampled muddy snow.

Be known.

He is finished.

****

Three days later, the City of Courage returned to tranquility after a farce.

The temperature rises, the snow begins to melt gradually, and in about five days, the tribes outside the city who have spent the winter in the city will be on their way home.

It was snowing again that night, but braziers were bustlingly set up in the small noodle stall, and torches were stuck outside the tent, illuminating the snowy ground.

Rong Yue and Tian Yang opened the curtain and got in.

"Smells so good!" Rong Yue sniffed, and was immediately covered by a little radish head: "Yue Ji!"

"Good boy." He rubbed Xiaoyi and his head, and the enthusiastic stall owner came up to greet him: "Yue Jiji, Lord Tianyang, sit down!"

The events of that day finally came to a head.

The city lord asked the city guard to help throw the cub into the ditch, but was eventually questioned by the wise elder. The evidence was clearly in front of him, and the city lord's frenzied behavior was outrageous.

These days, the elders have been discussing how to deal with the issue of the city lord. Originally, there was a split between whether to change or not to change, but once this happened, the city lord would not only have to step down, but even be punished.

Throwing a cub into a ravine is no different from killing someone. Even thinking of this word makes one's heart tremble, but the city lord actually did it.

Just because I don't want anyone to know the secret.

The more he wanted to bury the matter, the easier it would be to reveal it. If he hadn't deliberately troubled Lancao, maybe everyone would never know about it in this life.But now it is too late.

After the news spread, the city lord's eight "ex-wives" who were still in the city also came forward one after another, and five of them had already entered into a contract again in a low-key way, and all had their own cubs.

Now that the matter has come to this point, the responsibility of the city lord is certain.

The city lord has been dismissed, and the city of Valor will have a new city lord.

The elders started chatting and flirting, while Rong Yue quietly took the white-coated brother to a corner to talk alone.

The specific protocol of losing power and humiliating the country, Brother Baiai doesn't want to mention it again, but it is true that he was hit by luck - because of the recommendation of the Xingyue tribe, he, as the youngest son of the twenty elders, ascended to the position of city lord.

It was also at this time that the city lord and the elders knew that these two were the leaders and priests of the mysterious Xingyue tribe.

The power center of the City of Courage had a frenzied discussion about them, and the two at the center of the topic leisurely enjoyed the local customs for a few days, and then accepted the invitation of the Lancao family to have dinner.

"Thank you Lord Tianyang, Moon Sacrifice. If it weren't for you, Xiaoxiaoer would really..." Lancao stood up at the dinner table, blushing and bowed heavily again.

After these two exposed their identities in the City of Bravery, they naturally changed, throwing away the rags and clothes that concealed their identities, and put back on the good clothes they didn't know where they came from.Rong Yue's white hair was washed and then draped down, looking unparalleled in style, walking on the street for two days, the whole city of courage is his legend.

"With little effort, we are all compatriots." Rong Yue said with a smile: "We have discussed many new plans with the new city owner. After the spring, your city of courage will probably change a lot."

The stall owner said worriedly: "Then can I still make noodles?"

"Yes," Rong Yue said, "there will be more varieties. We also have all kinds of delicious food in our alliance, and you will gradually taste them."

Rong Yue bought a lot of delicious snacks from the space, and ate Xiao Yi without looking up.

The Lancao couple looked at them and felt that Rongyue and the others were no different from gods.

Magical powers, never-before-seen items, the ability to easily renew a city, and... redemption for her in a time of despair.

Although she didn't say it, she had silently regarded them as gods.

As much as Rong Yue and the others enjoyed their meal, the city lord who was locked in the No. 20 cave felt as uncomfortable.

Even though there were many fewer people, the smell was still disgusting.The constant snoring throughout the day was so loud that his head was about to explode, and he was guarded by the city guards, so he didn't even have room to lie down.

This was decided by the elders together, and it was his punishment.

"What are you arguing about!" The city lord finally couldn't take it anymore, and cursed loudly: "You bitches! Poor little tribe! Can you keep your mouth shut when you sleep!? If you snore again, I'll tear you apart!"

The few men who were woken up by his scolding stood up violently, surrounded him and punched and kicked him.

"What the hell!?" "I thought you were the city lord..." "It's all this villain, who took our ordinary jerky and made such a hole for us!" "He's quite proud——"

The city lord was so thin that he couldn't resist at all, and the city guard guarding him looked on coldly.

To be able to do such vicious things for their own self-interest, the city guards felt that this beating was light.
