"drive!"
Tang Wen rode Wu Zui, like a black lightning, rushing straight towards the hunting team station.
"Hush!"
Just as he started, he suddenly stopped.
There are others behind this group of people attacking the hunting station.
Tang Wen's heart skipped a beat: With so many people dispatched from such a small station, the enemy is bound to capture it!
But what is the use of attacking a hunting station?
He didn't want to rush over there before he understood the strength of this group of people.
But then, something even more shocking happened to him.
brush!
The hunting party fired a hail of arrows.
The attackers blocked one after another, and after deflecting the arrows, they actually raised their weapons above their heads.
While shouting something, he put on a posture of surrender!
Tang Wen and the hunting team were stunned.
The people in the hunting team were very cautious and did not open the door, suspecting fraud.
The attackers did an even better job. They threw away their weapons and stood at the door without leaving.
Tang Wen urged his horse forward.
On the stone wall, Captain Liu looked confused: "Who are you? What is your purpose?"
"We were defeated and we were your prisoners. Your Flame Camp should accept us."
Captain Liu:? ? ?
Tang Wen, who arrived on horseback: I suspect that the purpose of these guys is to be prisoners!
"Da da da!"
Seeing Tang Wen approaching, Captain Liu jumped down from the stone wall and asked in a dumbfounded voice: "Commander Tang Wen, what do you think we should do about this? I have already asked for help from the camp, but what happened?"
Captain Liu has lived for twenty or thirty years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
Someone came to take him prisoner.
Tang Wen didn't want to get involved, so he pointed into the distance: "There is a group of people hiding there, and they should be with this group of prisoners. I originally thought it was an ambush, but when I took a closer look, it should be their family members."
Seeing two people discussing here, among the "captives", an old man and two middle-aged men walked over.
He shouted that he was willing to surrender, become a prisoner, and join the flame camp.
Tang Wen smiled: "Tell me, which village are you from? You guys are so strong, you won't be able to survive, right?"
The three of them did not defend themselves. They looked at each other and knelt down on one knee. They made a fist with their right hand and pressed it on their left chest.
Make some act of surrender.
The old man said: "Alien beasts attacked us and occupied our village. The Black Mountain camp was massacring villages everywhere. We have been discovered by them and killed hundreds of tribesmen before we came here. We are really desperate! Please two of us. The adults take me in, all I want is a mouthful of food."
"Get up and talk first! I'm not in charge, so there's no point in talking."
After Tang Wen finished speaking, Captain Liu pulled the three of them up.
Tang Wen asked with interest: "What strange beast attacked your village?"
Judging from the number of people in their village, it should be a large village of nearly a thousand people.
Maybe there are even martial arts masters.
What herd of alien beasts could force them to leave?
The old man uttered three words in frustration: "Tyrant Bear."
There wasn't even a trace of hatred in his voice. Obviously, facing this extraordinary monster, he didn't even dare to think of revenge.
Tang Wen was silent.
I gave up the idea of going hunting, no, going to deliver snacks to my door.
He had seen the terror of the tyrant bear. If he hadn't been the top martial artist, Commander Zhao, he would have risked his life to lure him away.
The Flame Camp definitely suffered heavy losses.
The old man continued: "In addition to farming, our village also grows date trees and raises bees. It may be the honey that attracted the bear."
Captain Liu asked: "I'm not trying to negotiate with it. As long as you give it honey, maybe it can protect you."
People in this world are not invincible, nor are they even necessarily considered strong.
There are many examples of symbiosis between humans and animals.
Alien beasts protect humans with their powerful fighting power.
Humans work to provide necessities such as "salt and minerals" for exotic animals.
Both sides are symbiotic.
Of course, such relationships are often fragile.
Because there are already people in the diet of powerful alien beasts.
It's fine at ordinary times, but when a disaster strikes and the exotic beasts don't have enough to eat, people may turn from collaborators into delicacies.
The old man was silent for a while: "Our corn seedlings are diseased, Black Death. They are dying piece by piece. There are many warriors in the village, and there is very little food left. Honey is the goods we exchange for food..."
Captain Liu didn't know what to say, so he could only curse: "What a world!"
After a while.
In the direction of the camp, a large force came with a rumble, numbering hundreds of people.
The leader was General Zhao.
Tang Wen felt relieved and motioned to Captain Liu and the three of them to come forward to greet him.
As for himself, of course he took a detour home.
He doesn't have time to deal with such things.
"Lord Tang Wen! Your mount is so handsome!"
"What a beautiful dark horse!"
"Commander Tang Wen, are you riding a strange beast?"
At the gate of the inner city, the guards greeted Tang Wen one after another.
But they stared at Tang Wen's mount for a while, their eyes shining brightly.
There are no sports cars, off-road vehicles, or heavy motorcycles in this world, but there are all kinds of strange beasts.
The length of time a man loves horses is basically the same as the age of suffering from "Mendel Syndrome".
When Tang Wen was a child, when he was jumping in the fields, he had the experience of slapping his butt and shouting "drive, drive, drive".
He deliberately stopped and chatted with the guard for a few words before riding across the street.
Passers-by gave way, looking at the handsome dark horse with envy, admiration and even love.
"Is this Lord Tang Wen?"
"What a young commander."
"Yes, it is said that he is a martial arts genius!"
"..."
Passers-by expressed their approval.
Tang Wen turned into another street on horseback.
There are two rows of red houses on the roadside.
Some older sisters in cool clothes at the door, with bare lotus-white legs, looked at Tang Wen and chuckled.
Perhaps they recognized his identity and no one blocked his way.
This made Tang Wen feel a little regretful.
Not enthusiastic at all.
Suddenly, a slightly familiar face appeared on the roadside.
"Tang Wen, Commander-in-Chief, has returned from hunting. You've worked hard. Come in and have a rest!"
All the girls were surprised.
Although they all wanted to invite Tang Wen to play, they didn't dare because he was in command.
"It's Liu Niang's naughty hooves!"
"How dare she? How brave she is!"
"Hmph! You're not just greedy for Commander Tang Wen's body."
"Sister, aren't you greedy?"
"Bah! Sister, I love his talent even more."
A group of women burst into laughter.
After Liu Niang finished speaking, she bowed down Yingying, revealing her snow-white and rosy spring light.
A pair of eyes is even more bold and hot.
It seems that if it weren't for the concern about people on the street.
She wants to do whatever she wants.
Tang Wen looked away: "Next time."
"Sir, when is the next time?"
Seeing that she was thinking too much, Tang Wen quickly urged his horse forward: "You will know when the time comes."
Liu Niang shouted sadly from behind: "Don't let me wait too long!"
Tang Wen pinched his horse and decided to come back late at night next time.
Also, try to avoid this road in the future.
Woman, how can you mess with my martial arts aspirations?
Must be extraordinary as soon as possible!
No rest at night.
Continue to the wilderness.
When Tang Wen came home, he took a shower first as usual.
The three girls, Xiaoliu, Taohua, and Cuilian, took Xiaotaozi with them to starch and wash his clothes.
It was obviously a job that could be done by one person, but the three women had to do it together.
From underwear, socks, boots to coats and leather styles, there are 7 pieces in total.
Taohua was quick and grabbed three pieces, beaming with joy.
Xiao Liu was unhappy: "Sister Taohua is so cunning. You were the one who washed one more thing last time."
Cuilian nodded in support: "Yes, peach girl, it's time for us to wash it this time."
Taohua quickly suppressed her smile, picked up the wooden basin and walked away: "Wash quickly, wash quickly, it's done, so you can go practice martial arts! The most important thing is to become a martial artist as soon as possible!"
"That's all you can say."
Recently, Tang Tang finished taking the medicinal bath water and distributed it to the three girls.
The strength of the three people has increased a lot.
Whether it is daily housework or the work of growing vegetables in the yard next door, it will be easier to do.
On weekdays, they can free up more time to learn the techniques given to them by Tang Wen.
Tang Tang was also a good teacher. He would give them instructions every day when he came back from the martial arts gym.
Of course, the premise is that after the Roujiamo is sold out.
In the evening, Tang Wen went to the wilderness again.
The days passed in this back and forth.
Tang Wen's various skills gradually improved through steady tempering.
More than a month later, the weather is getting warmer.
I saw the harvest day before my eyes.
The corn in the ground was burnt yellow.
After the farmers harvested, threshed and bagged the grain, it was weighed and found to be less than 30% of previous years.
Half of the camp was confiscated.
Leave half of it for the farmers.
The proportion left to them was higher than in previous years, but the amount of food was actually less than half.
The situation is dire. People in outer cities, how much food do they have left at home?
What’s more important is, how to plant next season?
Tang Wen passed by a field. The land was dry, and the land suddenly burst into cracks.
A ladle of water was poured down, and the ground drank it up in an instant.
God won't let a drop of rain fall.
This is going to force people to death!
Farmers, women, and children knelt down on the roadside and cried.
Tang Wen passed by in a hurry, and there was nothing he could do.
On this day, after more than a month of struggle, Tang Wen finally filled the top ice cellar in the yard.
After he finished his work, he took a meat bun from Xiao Liu.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Is Commander Tang Wen here? If he is, please come to the general's mansion to discuss matters!"
After a few months of leisure, Tang Wen agreed.
He had already anticipated that with the advent of a severe drought and the surge in emergencies, there would inevitably be a shortage of manpower. As a mid-to-high-end combat force, he couldn't be idle all the time.
General's Mansion.
When Tang Wen stepped into the meeting hall.
General Zhao is issuing a series of orders: "First, tell the people in the outer city that all rents will be exempted from today, so that they can live with peace of mind. When the food harvest is good, when will the rent be collected again!"
"Second, tell them they are not allowed to go to the lake to fetch water. If you don't want to die, don't go!"
"Third, the camp will soon recruit them to work and take care of the food..."
At this time, General Zhou came in from the outside, patted Tang Wen on the shoulder, and said directly without any nonsense: "There are things happening everywhere now. I need you to take the caravan to Wujia City."
"I go?"
"Qian Sanduo is with you. The road is getting more and more uneven. One more martial artist and one more layer of protection."
