"Regarding the military intelligence in Dahai City, although there is nothing too confidential, we still have a comprehensive understanding of the details of the military as a whole."
"Didn't the old man give you all the military information?"
"Of course not. Maybe the old man is also a soldier, right? So what he gave should be something that soldiers also know. But ordinary people don't say they know it. As long as they have a small record of military supplies, they will be charged with confiscating their homes."
"Don't worry about the crime, kid. What is it?"
"There are four armies in Dahai City, one navy and three armies. The navy has no control over the land and the army has no control over the port. There are also government officials in charge of internal affairs. It can be said that they influence each other but can gather military strength at the same time. .
Moreover, the four armies are also led by different people to prevent the influence of foreign enemies from being too powerful. The control of the Qinglong Empire is also clever. "
"Do you want to join that army?"
"In fact, in terms of war, the four armies also have the opportunity to establish an army, but I will choose to join the army. After all, it is more convenient to leave with military merit. If I am in the navy, I can also handle it when I need to dock. In this way, I will More passive.”
"What's the difference between the three armies?"
"The functions of the three armies are also different, but I think after the new military camp, you will enter the [King Kong] military camp. The style of that camp is considered the front line, and most of them use long or heavy weapons. Although the mortality rate is high, military merit will be earned. faster."
"You like, oh! Here comes the food!"
At this time, after the boss put down the food, a few beggars happened to come over. He said impatiently: "It's you again. Don't get too close to the customers when buying things. Wait a while."
Although his tone was a bit rude, most of the people in the town during the war were quite sympathetic, and he had a good impression of them who bought things instead of stealing or begging.
However, the boss couldn't see Wei Jing's expression. He didn't believe it but couldn't admit his mistake and said, "You...are you Xiaohu?"
"Sir, here comes the other thing you ordered."
The stall owner put several large side dishes and some porridge on several tables that were put together. When Wei Jing saw Xiaohu and the others' thin bodies, he asked them to sit down and eat without asking anything.
Moreover, Lily also brought the other children out to eat. It was hard for them to go without a meal during their journey. Now that they have found someone they can trust, they are relaxed.
There are no adults among them anymore. You must know that along the way, the women and old people who followed them also used their lives to stop the men in black who were chasing them time and time again in order to allow them to escape. Xiaohu and the others gritted their teeth, biting their mouths to bleed, and took away the crying children to prevent them from watching their loved ones die in front of their eyes.
Zhao Hu did not dare to walk into the city with all of them. Apart from his father, he was afraid of losing anyone among them. Each of them was also the child of other uncles and aunts, so he walked towards the mountain road and kept walking without looking back or knowing where to go. After traveling so long, we couldn’t light a fire to cook.
Fortunately, they have also been familiar with hunting in the mountains and forests since they were young, and they can still pick a lot of wild fruits on the road.
Also because the weather in the Qinglong Empire is mostly in spring, they don't know if they would be able to walk over the first mountain in the freezing winter.
In the end, they listened to Xiaoshan's suggestion and walked an unknown amount of distance. They didn't know they had arrived at the shore of the Qinglong Empire until they saw the ocean. Moreover, Zhao Hu and his party had to enter the city at that time, because more or less a group of people Also fell ill.
After exchanging the animal skins, teeth and other things he had eaten along the way for a few silver taels, he immediately went to the doctor to get a prescription. He did not dare to bring the doctor to his group, and he did not know if the man in black was in the city. He had no choice but to keep a low profile. Fortunately, the others also recovered after drinking the medicinal soup, otherwise he would have had to ask a doctor to diagnose them again.
In addition, after he and Lily inquired, Dahai City was close to a war location, so there were often many people in rags coming and going. They decided to enter in batches and hide in them. At least they wanted everyone to be older before going back to Zhaojiacun to inquire. , although they wanted to fly back, they also knew not to be impatient.
Originally, the older ones would go out to do some menial jobs or come back from hunting. Lily and the older girls would take care of the other younger ones together. They would go to various vendors every day after getting wages or hunting for silver coins. Although they look like beggars, they don't do sneaky things. Over time, the stall owners will give them more food.
They were buying food as usual today, but no one knew that they heard someone calling Xiaohu's name. When they looked over and saw a person and a bird, their tears flowed out.
When they fled on the mountain road, they ate raw meat without crying; they drank water from unknown sources without crying; the blisters under their feet that were so long that they could no longer wear their shoes grew and burst, and burst and grew again without crying; everyone was sick, on the ground or on the ground. I didn’t cry when I was looking for food in the garbage discarded by the inn and worrying about silver!
However, when Brother Liu appeared, they didn't seem to have to pretend to be strong, and the tears couldn't help but flow out.
Wei Jing listened to them telling them what happened while eating and crying. He said: "It's okay now. Take good care of your health. Then I will go back to Zhaojia Village with you to see if there are any clues. After eating the food, we will follow you." I will live in Jinyumantang, and other things will gradually get better."
The elder Zhao Hu and the others stopped eating, and their eyes were red but they did not speak, while Wei Jing knew that there were some things that he would remember for the rest of his life even if he did not need to say them.
"Guest, I'm sorry, the ingredients have been sold out today, please come back tomorrow!"
The stall owner once again explained the situation to the customers who came. He was heartbroken that he had lost all his money, but he only felt pain for a moment or two. He did not expect that there would be any distinguished guests today, so he reminded himself that he should do what he usually does. A little kindness.
He didn't ask the waiter to buy the ingredients. Instead, he paid for today's amount. After packing his things, he asked the others to leave. He wanted to take his wife and children to the inn for a good meal.
After all, he has made a lot of silver tael in the past few years, but he has spent very little time with his family. Basically, he knows that he can make endless silver taels, but the time for his children to grow up has passed by.
Afterwards, when he saw someone in ragged clothes or looking like a beggar, he didn't mind their appearance and would give him a hot meal and a small amount of broken silver. Of course, many people actually saw his joke and took advantage of him. .
However, he didn't care too much. Little did he know that most of the people he helped were also grateful people. His business grew from one stall to another, and he unknowingly helped a real distinguished customer.
After Wei Jing and the others left, they almost knew what happened after Xiaohu and the others arrived. He said calmly: "A few kilograms of animal skins, only a few silver? Is this good for your appetite?"
Xiaohu and the others learned from Brother Liu that someone had taken advantage of them when selling the animal skins. Moreover, the other party clearly stated the real price and did not force them to sell. It could only be said that they were too impatient to sell.
As for Wei Jing and Xiaohu, they came all the way to the garbage disposal site in the outer city, where they lived, and packed up some clothes and other things, because he wanted to make a certain place their new home for the time being, so they no longer have to run away. A more sheltered home for them.
Of course, it is indispensable to thank the neighbors who help them. Even if they think it is nothing or they can do without them, it is a fact that it is precisely because of their help that Xiaohu and the others have suffered less than before.
For example, Aunt Wang helps take care of the young children; Uncle Li reinforces their house and makes some furniture; Chen Xiaozi introduces them to the places and taboos in the sea; the old man knows a little about medicine, and he was the one who cooked the dishes for everyone when they were sick. Materials and so on.
Maybe they are both poor people from the end of the world, and everyone thinks that they are young and may be refugees from some war-torn place. If you can help, please help.
As the saying goes, good causes will reap good results, and it's okay for Wei Jing to repay some of their good deeds, but there are always some people who want to destroy such a peaceful place.
Not long after they arrived, they found many figures gathering in front of everyone, and they had many blunt weapons in their hands.
