"Bah!"
In the wilderness, a group of ragged gangsters holding weapons jumped out of the jungle on both sides of the road. The leader was a stout bandit holding a short knife and yelling loudly at the blocked fleeing team.
"I opened this road, and I planted this forest. If you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy your life!"
There were about thirty people in this fleeing team, half old, half young, and a few young people, but most of them were thin. When they encountered these bandits, they all showed fear.
"Uncle, do well, do well."
An old man held up his hands and begged: "We are just people fleeing famine. If we really can't survive, we won't leave. Please let us live."
"Stop talking nonsense, grandpa will give you a way out, who will give grandpa a way out!"
The robber pressed the notched dagger forward, scaring the group of people into subconsciously retreating.
"Kill the old ones and take away the young ones, these young people."
The robber smiled evilly, pointed at a few young people in the team, and said: "If you are willing to join the gang, then kill someone. If you are not willing, you will die here. Brothers, do it!"
Several robbers looked ferocious and approached with weapons. They looked at the women in the crowd with lust in their eyes.
The old ones are useless, just kill them. The younger ones are tender, but there is meat to eat today. As for those women
"Come here you go!"
A robber picked up a woman and put her on his shoulders, laughing.
"I, I will fight with you!"
The man on the side was anxious and wanted to grab it. The robber's eyes were filled with disdain, and he raised his sword forward and was about to strike at it.
How could an unarmed and thin man be a match for a well-fed and well-fed robber, especially when he was armed with a sharp weapon? With this knife strike, he was killed just like the fleeing man they had robbed before. The knife penetrated his head and killed him directly.
The man's whereabouts made the sword unable to react at all. He seemed to be standing there in a daze, and started to kill him at the neck.
brush!
Just when the simple knife was about to reach the man's head, several bloody blades suddenly rolled up next to it and quickly passed through the bandits surrounding the team.
As soon as they were pierced by the blood blade, their bodies were cut open. At the same time, their whole bodies became extremely pale, as if their blood had been sucked dry, and their broken bodies fell to the ground.
This sudden scene left the fleeing team stunned, staring blankly at the corpses, and then subconsciously turned their heads and looked ahead.
In front of the road, several people gradually appeared, heading this way.
The leader of this group of people wore a robe, had a solemn face, and walked dignifiedly.
Next to him, there is a noble prince of Hua Shang holding a folding fan.
There is also a giant man who looks like a giant spirit, and he feels oppressive just by looking at him.
The tall, indifferent man walked behind with calm eyes.
The little girl next to her rolled her eyes wildly, giggling as she looked at the corpses.
A heroic young man at the back frowned, seeming to be full of anger at these bandits.
"Why do we always encounter robbers on the road?"
Mr. Hua Shang, holding a folding fan, walked over with a graceful step and said with a smile: "Everyone, are you okay?"
This man has a handsome face and a beautiful smile that makes people lose their guard immediately.
"Thank you for your help. Thank you for your help."
The old man knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to them three times.
The man whose wife had been snatched away kowtowed to these people after making sure that her wife was fine.
The plain-looking man wearing a robe frowned and said: "Get up, do it casually, so as not to perform such a grand ceremony."
Although the voice was faint, it carried a strange magic power, causing everyone who was kneeling to stand up.
The group of people was none other than Song Yin and the others. Along the way, not many demons were spotted, but a group of bandits were spotted.
"Old man, where are you coming from and where are you going?" Song Yin cupped his hands and asked.
"Reply to your words, we came from Kaiping City. Because we can't survive, we are going to the north. I heard that there is a way to survive in the north. I hope I can give us a bite to eat." The old man said tremblingly.
Kaiping City
Hearing this, Zhang Feixuan was shocked, "Is there a city ahead?"
After running for so long, I finally saw the city.
"Yes, there is a city, and life used to be good, but recently, hey, there has been a war, and now we can't afford rice, and we can't have enough to eat at all. Three members of my family have starved to death, and we can't even bury them. I can just find a place to bury it.”
At this point, the old man lowered his head and shed tears, and then said: "Recently, I heard that monsters appeared at night and many people were eaten. We have no choice but to escape and hope that there will be a bite to eat from the north."
As he said that, he thought for a while, looked at Song Yin and the others who didn't even have a cloth bag on them, then took out something like clay from his own bag, handed it to Zhang Feixuan, and said:
"Noble man, I can't repay the kindness of saving my life. I only have this thing. If you don't mind it, just use it as dry food on the road."
Zhang Feixuan took the thing as he was told, took a closer look, and asked with a strange look on his face, "What is this?"
"Mixed noodles."
Wang Qizheng knew him well. He snatched the earth-like thing and broke it open, revealing a cross-section with sawdust and earth. "It's noodles made from leather shells, chaff, bean cakes and the like, and some are mixed with some." Sawdust and stones. Don’t eat too much of this stuff, it will kill you easily.”
These things often appear in places where there is famine, and Wang Qizheng is familiar with this.
The old man lowered his head, looking ashamed, "This is the only thing that is most precious to me."
"I have to accept the gift from my father-in-law."
Song Yin glanced at your earth-like fixture and said: "The road to the north is far away, so I should be more careful. It takes one month to go north to reach Baishou City, where you can survive. Remember, it's just from here. Take the main road, there is no danger on this road for the time being."
"Thank you, noble man. Thank you, noble man." The old man said a few words of gratitude, and then led the team on the road.
Song Yin watched them go further and further away. He pointed his finger and a wisp of yellow wind followed them quietly.
"We have wiped out the bandits and demons on this road. Just in case, my yellow wind can also protect them from any unexpected events on the road." Song Yin said.
"Senior brother is kind-hearted."
Zhang Fei
"If you save people and lose land, both people and land will survive. We are not strong enough to protect everyone, but if we defend the boundaries of the city, we can indeed keep many people alive."
Song Yin said: "Since I can't help others, let people come to me. There is a large amount of undeveloped land in Baishou City, which is enough for many people to survive there. In this way, we can manage it and save this power. Then slowly expand outwards, so that it won’t be so tiring for you.”
He looked forward and said: "Let's go and see what kind of demons are causing trouble in Kaiping City!"
