Chapter 22 A roar when you see the unevenness!
Although the big bear in North Horn is not a bosom friend, he also received many favors from her when he was a child. Now he has died of illness and has no relatives and children beside him, so he keeps his soul as a nephew. On the one hand, it is to repay the kindness she gave to herself and other villagers, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid becoming a wandering ghost without incense after her death.
The spiritual customs of Beijiao Village are very similar to the world experienced by Xu Dong. A mourning hall was set up, and the family members guarded the mourning hall, and the body was buried three days later. The difference is that during the viler period, family members are not allowed to talk, eat, and only drink water. It is said that the spiritual body is fragile after death, and it is easy to be stimulated by weak sounds and the aroma of food, so that it completely disappears, and there is not even a chance to fall into Mengduo's arms.
It will take three days to guard the spirit of the big bear in North Point, and it will also take one day to bury his body. In other words, he still has at least three days to be busy. Xu Dong is also anxious. After all, the magic fruit is essentially no different from apples and bananas. It will deteriorate after a long time, and it will lose some effect.
For this reason, Xu Dong has no choice but to be distressed. The only good news is that there are still nearly 20 days before the end of the main mission, and the most difficult problem has been solved, and the remaining time should be enough to solve the last problem.
Main Mission: The Prosperity of North Point Village
Mission Note: North Point Village once became one of the most prosperous villages under Blood Helmet City because of its unique geography and output. Unfortunately, all this has become yesterday's yellow flower. Please revive the prosperity of North Point Village.
Task Tip: Prepare enough money and prepare enough people!
This piece of information still lingers in my mind. In order to restore the prosperity of Beijiao Village, which is not short of resources, the first key is to eliminate the human threat of Beijiao Village. Xu Dong not only did it, but also did it very well. The second key is the task tip: prepare enough money and enough people! With money, the divine fruit can be solved. But people's words... are really a difficult problem!
It's just that there are no three-thirds, and I dare not go to Liangshan. Xu Dong had a way to deal with this.
Early the next morning, Xu Dong asked the direction of Nanjiao Village, casually packed up some dry food on the road, and hurried out.
Xu Dong learned that at this time, the Middle-earth continent was a bit like China in the era of slavery, and it was a feudal system. Dachen royal family first divided the land to the great meritorious officials who made contributions in the war, and was also known as the marshal. Each marshal has jurisdiction over a province, and then in this province, it is divided into major cities and states again according to merit.
From the royal family to the city owner, they often have absolute control over their own territory, but the controlled territory is relatively weak. Of course, this is also the drawback of the social ideology of the feudal system.
Blood Helmet City is one of the city-states of Northern Hua Province. The owner of the Blood Helmet City may not be the power to govern. However, in the general environment, it is a little out of reach for the villages under its jurisdiction. Therefore, the village head, the highest administrative official of a village, can often be easily obtained through transactions.
The reason why Xu Dong specially wanted to understand some characteristics of this era is to make sure: the prosperity and decline of a village, the city owner does not care, and the village head himself will pay the bill!
In other words, even if Xu Dong really pried the corner of Nanjiao Village and persuaded all the villagers to live in Beijiao Village, as long as he paid the tribute tax on time, the owner of the Blood Helmets City would not reach out to take care of the matter.
Yes, when the problem of mountain guard dogs was solved and faced with the problem of the number of residents, Xu Dong immediately thought of the former village head of North Point Village, the village head who went to the flood-stricken area to preside over the village reconstruction. Of course, he didn't have any strange thoughts about this old man, but he focused on the poor villagers whose houses in Nanjiao Village, where the village head took office, were flooded!
Xu Dong's intuition told him that the key to whether the task could be completed was the villagers in Nanjiao Village.
Middleland is vast and sparsely populated, and the most intuitive reflection is that it takes half a day to go from Beijiao Village to Nanjiao Village at a normal pace. Xu Dong went out at 6 o'clock in the morning and didn't enter the area of Nanjiao Village until noon. Why can Xu Dong clearly know that he has reached the ground?
Because after he walked through a stone arch bridge, the ground became obviously wet. This kind of wetness seems to be drizzling for days. Although it does not make the mud on the ground, it is almost muddy. It is also strange. According to Xu Dong's understanding, the flood season generally occurs when the precipitation is relatively concentrated in summer, or when the water level of the river rises due to the melting of snow water alternately in spring and summer, but he has never heard of the saying that there is also a flood season in autumn.
Walking through the stone arch bridge and walking along the wet road, it was particularly shocking to see everywhere: the parts of huts destroyed by the flood, indoor furniture fragments, dead livestock corpses... Along the way, not only the environment was bad, but also the air penetrated a smell of mildew, which shows that How serious is this flood?
Not long after, Xu Dong suddenly heard a burst of crying and men roaring and fighting. He stopped to listen, but the clockwork had quickly rushed out in the direction. Xu Dong smiled slightly. Why was this son of a bitch born with an unbearable loneliness and had to keep up quickly?
Soon, a group of people appeared in front of Xu Dong. Strictly speaking, there should be four adult men, a teenager and a middle-aged woman. The three men with red cloth towels tied to their sleeves were punching and kicking another man. The man who was beaten seemed to be a teenager. In order to help his old man, the teenager also rushed forward to participate in the fight. Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face with his backhand and fell heavily on the mud, and was covered with mud in confusion.
What Xu Dong saw was exactly the scene of the teenager falling to the ground.
At this time, the clockwork suddenly barked at the group of guys. The son of the dog is really psychic, and its expression can be easily seen. There is no reason to remind people of the unevenness of the hot-blooded and coquettish years, * the appearance of a roar on the brain. The dog barked, and the three men with red cloth towels on their sleeves really stopped moving and glanced at the sound.
When the eyes of the three people condensed on the clockwork, their eyes glowed greenly at the same time, just like the wolf, who had only been a vegetarian for two or three months, suddenly saw a white and tender fat sheep, and almost saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. The three directly let go of the dying man who had been beaten and ran to Xu Dong.
As the first person, he was extremely urgent. As soon as he started to run this side, he couldn't help shouting, "Fuck, I said where has my son-in-law gone? It turned out that he was taken away by you, a little thief!"
What?!
Xu Dong was stunned for a long time before he realized it, and suddenly burst into tears. These three people must be hungry and crazy. The so-called people die for money and birds die for food. First, they fight back, and then grab the wind-up strips in name, and then naturally it is the white burning, the hot pot of the hot pot.
At this stunned moment, three men have gathered around. These three people knew at a glance that they were not good men and women. Their bodies were flowing all over, and their standing posture was even more careless, as if they were the image of Hong Kong's ancient gangsters in the decade, only to engrave a bad word on their foreheads.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Dong naturally held the clockwork in his arms for the first time. He was not worried that the clockwork would be caught, but that the clockwork was in a bad mood and suddenly hurt people - it was still light to hurt the other party's hands and feet. He was most afraid that it would bite the place that should not be bit, and in the end it would inexplicably end. How much it be. Wrong?!
The leading man was over 30 years old, and his body was relatively stronger. He stared greedily at the clockwork, swallowing the saliva secreted crazily in his throat, and even heard the sound of his throat. The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the clockwork and shouted fiercely, "You'd better return this son of a bitch, otherwise, the three of you will know why the flowers are so red!"
Xu Dong squeezed his lips and looked a little funny and dared not laugh. "Who are the three big brothers? Why did they slander me?"
Another tall and thin man couldn't wait to say, "Smblem your mother. We are from the self-defense team of Nanjiao Village. Hurry up and hand over the puppy, or your mother won't recognize you!"
This tall and thin man didn't want to talk to Xu Dong, so he reached out to grab the clockwork. Unexpectedly, before his fingers touched a hair of the clockwork, the puppy suddenly stretched out his head and bit it, and his sharp teeth suddenly pierced the skin and fiercely into the muscles and bones. In an hour, a stream of blood flowed out of the hand of the tall and thin man, ticking down on the ground, and he let out a sad scream!
The clockwork is not an ordinary mountain guard dog, but a mutant mountain guard dog that has taken the fruit of magic power. Although it is fashionable and small, the bite power is already amazing, otherwise how can it bite away the yellow saber-toothed tiger*? This tall and thin man was also unlucky. He was hit hard by the clockwork, and the blood flowed lightly. The internal tendons and bones were damaged to varying degrees. Once he could not be cured, this hand was useless.
The clockwork immediately let go as soon as he bit, and the tall and thin man screamed and covered his back.
His two companions suddenly became furious when they saw this scene. You know, the self-defense team of Nanjiao Village has always been a bully, and has never suffered such a loss!
A trace of vicious and fierceness flashed in the eyes of the first person. Suddenly, he took out a bright knife, held the handle of the knife in both hands and stabbed Xu Dong straight, and did not forget to shout, "What a dare, want to kill people?"
At this time, Xu Dong could not speak the same day as him when he first entered. He looked cold and quickly stretched out his hand in vain, like a flexible iron pliers. He grabbed the other party's wrist and then pushed it hard. Suddenly, the man holding the knife stabbed and stabbed the knife into the arm of the man who had never said anything. The man was holding a stick and hitting Xu Dong's head hard. After being stabbed into his arm by a knife, the wooden sticks were thrown out by mistake, but he hit the temple of the injured man in his hand and knocked him down with a home run...
The blood flowed out happily at that time, with a sad scream.
