Meiji Town faces north and faces south. It was the first outpost of human development in the Oton Mountains. Its geographical location is extremely critical. It was later turned into a settlement of the Kot people. It has a history of hundreds of years.
The entire north side of the town is surrounded by tall, smooth metal village walls, and several towers are equipped with kinetic energy cannons. This is the only trace left of its early years as a military base.
Wu Mo touched its thick alloy wall more than once, and felt an outpouring of admiration for this city wall.
"By now, the Kot people will definitely not be able to build this thing."
"Are Kot people living in the ground? They are not even as good as a local cow! Even a local cow knows how to dig a hole deeper and deeper!"
The Cote people who cannot make assumptions based on common sense become more and more irritated the longer they live.
The former Meiji Town must have been an incomparably powerful fortress. Who was its enemy? The python bear definitely does not have this qualification.
To the north of the village wall, across thousands of criss-crossing fields, is a slightly raised ridge like a corridor, winding around several not-so-high solitary peaks before reaching Huayin Valley. However, once you pass the Huayin Valley, you will see a dense mass of high mountains, with many mountains and mountains, with no beginning or end in sight.
To the south of Meiji Town is a large, undulating river that originates deep in the mountains, and its drainage basin covers almost half of the Oton Mountains. From a bird's-eye view, the river is surrounded by lavender clouds and mist, like a veiled ribbon running through the mountains, hence its name.
The Zidan River made a bend here in Meiji Town, becoming gentle and wide, forming a lush flat land with dozens of miles of fertile fields. It is the most important crop producing area in Meiji Town and even Luming City.
From Meiji Town to Luming City, although the flow rate of the Zidan River is still fast, it is still suitable for navigation. However, it is not feasible to go up the river from Meiji. Along the Meiji Town, the drop in the Zidan River is too big. Less than ten kilometers away from Meiji, there is a cliff. The river water from the upper reaches pours down, forming a waterfall more than thirty meters high.
Across the river from Meiji Town, there are still shadowy peaks, steep and steep, leaning against each other, sleeping for countless years.
In the early morning of this day, Uncle Hammer got up early as usual and did a leisurely Tai Chi session in the square of the pier.
The bad old man was so coquettish that he received looks of awe and admiration from everyone, and he strolled to Guifu Restaurant for morning tea. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that I walked towards my yard with my hands behind my back, satisfied.
Far away at the entrance of the alley, I saw a crowd of people gathered in front of my house. There was a commotion and loud shouting.
"Is Uncle Shan at home? There is a python bear!"
Uncle Hammer's real name is Wu Zhenshan. Not many people know his name now. Those who can still call him Uncle Shan must be the younger generation of the family.
His heart tightened, and he hurriedly rushed over. Hearing everyone's confusion, he couldn't help but feel depressed and shouted loudly, like a bell,
"Shut up, everyone!"
Everyone shuddered when they heard this. Uncle Hammer glanced at him with majestic eyes, pointed at a strong man and asked
"Zong Han, it was your turn to be on duty last night, right? Who brought this news back?"
The strong man named Zong Han was his nephew. He bowed and replied,
"Uncle Shan, it's Bench and the others who stayed near Wangyue Lake last night. At dawn, they saw a flash flood upstream and a big bear rushing down. They were so frightened that they ran back. They all lost their breath and were resting at the gate of the village. .”
Uncle Hammer said curiously,
“It’s not the rainy season yet, so where are the flash floods coming from?”
He pointed to another person and said,
"You, go to the guild and report. Zong Han will take me to the village gate. Everyone else should disperse first. Don't make any noise."
There is another strange thing about the planet Kot. Except for the various levels of parliaments composed of pure Kot indigenous people, there are no government agencies on the entire planet. The management power, security power, judicial power, etc. of each town are all handled by different chambers of commerce, In the hands of the guild. The regional council exercises supervisory power, and the two together form the unique authority of Cote Star.
The Imperial Grand Council set this tone specifically for Kot Star hundreds of years ago.
Meiji Town is affiliated with Luming City, and its manager is the Purple Satin Guild of Luming City, which has a branch in Meiji Town.
This guild is really awesome. The Purple Satin Guild is indispensable for the stability and prosperity that Meiji Town has today.
In this three-thirds of an acre of land in Meiji Town, you can make every case and dispute clear and convincing, whether it is as big as murder and stealing goods or as small as neighbors quarreling. All the people were obedient.
Many natives speculated that the reason why those warrior teams were so well-behaved was probably due to the guild. After all, the guild dared to take the name of the largest river in Kote and control a key port like Meiji Town. What a behemoth it must be!
As for whether Meiji Town is under the jurisdiction of the king's law, the native people don't actually know. Anyway, the town is in good order and life is stable. Moreover, every native citizen is well aware of the town rules formulated by the guild for outsiders. There are dozens of them, obviously protecting the native residents, and they only revolve around one core content: losing money!
This is the biggest reliance of the native people. After all, murders and arson are not common.
Meiji Town naturally has a council. Mr. Wu Zhenshan, the Hammer, is the chairman of the town council. There are only about thirty people in the entire Meiji Town Council. Except for two or three thorns, most of them have to listen to him.
The two of them hurriedly hurried back to the village gate and saw a group of people gathered together. In the middle, a thin man in his forties was foaming at the mouth and talking,
"The water was stronger than the rainy season, and a big black thing floated down. I quickly looked at it, but before I could see it clearly, I heard a mooing sound, which scared me out of my mind. I remember back then. , I am also the owner who has stabbed a python bear, how can I not hear its sound!"
Wu Zhenshan stood outside the crowd and listened for a while, then interrupted and asked,
"Have you finally seen the bench clearly?"
The thin little man was in high spirits, waving his hands impatiently and saying,
"Don't interrupt, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Open your fucking eyes and see clearly, I am your father!"
The bench was furious, staring and yelling,
"Which guy who has been stabbed a thousand times is tired of living?"
Suddenly I saw the strange looks from the onlookers. Thinking of that voice, I immediately thought about it. When I turned around, my face had changed into a flattering look, and I spoke in a sly voice.
"Hello, sir, I saw it clearly. It was indeed a big python bear. It seemed to be injured and not very neat. It struggled ashore with a puff. It ignored us and hurried back upstream. "
Wangyue Lake is only twenty kilometers away from here, with a flat mountain ridge in the middle. With the footsteps of a python bear, you can reach the village wall of Meiji in ten minutes.
Mr. Hammer gave the bench a sharp look.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will slap your muscles!"
He waved his hand and shouted loudly,
"close the door!"
"Zong Han, take my armor."
After a while, a shrill siren sounded over Meiji Town.
