Start a city building order

Chapter 226 The Benefits of Honesty

Vine is a good thing, especially the vines in this world, they seem to be extraordinarily resilient.

So after observing the surrounding terrain, Li Si made a few lasso traps out of vines, and painstakingly cut a bunch of wooden spears to make a few wooden spike traps, which finally improved his sense of security a little. .

It's just a pity that he has never found a dry firelighter, so he has been unable to start a fire.

At some point, there was another drizzle in the sky. Li Si braved the rain and dug a diversion canal around the shack, but only halfway through the digging, the rain became heavier again, majestic like a vast ocean, and wanton like splashed ink.

"Aren't I so unlucky that it happens to be just in time for the rainy season?"

Li Si had a headache, but at the same time, he was more apprehensive.

He hasn't encountered a large beast yet, mostly because of the rainy season. When the rainy season is over, he won't be so lucky.

In the distance, the mountain torrent broke out again, and the tent was as dark as ink. Although it was still cold and damp, the situation was much better than yesterday.

In the heavy rain, there seemed to be some noise outside, and Li Si couldn't see it. He could only hold a wooden spear in one hand and a long knife in the other, be on guard, and then gradually fell asleep.

Surprisingly, such heavy rain gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

When he woke up again, the heavy rain stopped, a faint light shone into the tent, and the sky was bright again.

But good luck seems to favor him, because the lasso trap he made with vines yesterday actually caught an unknown beast, which looked like a wolf, but with horns growing on its head, a short tail, and scales on its body. One leg was hung upside down by a noose, and when he saw Li Si, he grinned and showed his teeth and claws, very energetic.

There was nothing to say, Li Si first tied the guy's body with another lasso trap, and only then did he end up with a stone. The dried bacon was running out, and the food delivered to the door was like a timely gift.

After dragging the unknown beast to a puddle a few hundred meters away, Li Si bled and skinned it to prevent the bloody smell from attracting other beasts.

After a lot of work, the income is only more than 50 catties of raw meat.

Li Si picked some huge leaves and grass leaves nearby, and wrapped the raw meat layer by layer. Finally, he washed his hands and long knife by the puddle, returned quickly, and hung the meat on the rack.

Next, you must find a way to light the fire.

This time Li Si expanded the scope of the patrol, especially towards the top of the mountain. The trees in this area are bigger and straighter, but relatively, the vegetation on the ground is less.

Every time he walked a certain distance, he would use a knife to leave more conspicuous marks on the tree trunks to prevent him from losing his way. At this time, the rain stopped, but the fog in the mountains was too thick, and he could see 50 meters is the limit.

Fortunately, this time Li Si finally found what he wanted, a big tree surrounded by at least a dozen people, occupying a large area, and many parts of the trunk were dead, leaving big holes or cracks.

As soon as he approached, many strange birds fluttered out, and some small animals jumped out, looking at him vigilantly.

There were birds and beasts, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief again, stepped forward to pry off some dead bark with a knife, and then poked it in some not very big gaps with a knife, stabbed randomly for a while, then reached in, and after a while Just touch out some dry velvet grass or leaves, which are excellent fire starters.

After a while, Li Si returned with a bundle of relatively dry bark.

Back at the shack, he vaguely saw some kind of beast in the grass, and he didn't know if it was attracted by the bloody smell or was passing by.

But at this time, he didn't care about other things. When he entered the tent, he first put up the dry bark, stuffed the leaves of fluffy grass in the middle, carefully opened the torch, and blew the tinder inside. After a while, an orange-red flame Jump up, burning beep beep pop.

After the dry bark was ignited, he put some wet branches on it, and some bamboo charcoal.

At this point, a bonfire was lit, feeling the heat, and even the humid weather was not so annoying.

But Li Si was not busy smoking and roasting the animal meat, but took out a branch he left on purpose before, it was as thick as an arm and very hard, I remember he chopped it with a long knife for a long time.

Putting the branch on the fire, roasting it carefully while bending it as much as possible, this is a rough method, and he is not sure if it will work.

It was roasting like this for almost two hours, when the bonfire was about to go out, Li Si managed to bend the branch to an acceptable level.

Next, he continued to cut branches, cut weeds, and collected vines. In short, he tried to reinforce and thicken his small shack as much as possible. He didn't want to be completely rainproof, but as long as there was heavy rain outside and light rain inside, it would be fine. .

However, what disturbed Li Si was that there seemed to be traces of wild animals around.

The last bundle of sticks was collected, and it began to rain again.

But today, his living condition is much better than the previous two days.

Back in the hut, the bonfire was in full swing, dispelling the cold and damp air in the mountains. Although the pervasive smoke was choking, it was just right to smoke and dry the raw meat.

At this time, Li Si first filtered a gourd of water with carbon powder and collected fine sand, and then roasted a catty of dried bacon. After eating and drinking, he began to get busy, not caring about the torrential rain outside.

He intends to make a simple crossbow. The conditions are limited, but the material is good. Whether it is the wooden stick he bent before or the vines that have been roasted by fire at the moment, it can basically meet his needs.

It's just that in order to pursue lethality, this crossbow must be stupid, and the effective range will not exceed ten steps.

The heavy rain did not fall all night again. When the rain stopped, Li Si went outside to have a look, and even saw a few stars.

In this regard, instead of being surprised, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Roasted a few sufficient vines overnight and used them as crossbow strings, and selected three wooden spears with blood grooves on the tips, and burned them in a campfire to increase their hardness.

After a lot of busy work, the simple wooden crossbow was wound up, and the sky was already bright.

This kind of brightness is different from the brightness of the past. One can tell at a glance that it is the kind that really shines after the rain.

After a busy night, Li Si was hungry. Just as Li Si was about to roast some dried bacon, the hairs all over his body stood on end, as if locked by something. The next moment, there was a noise outside the shack, and the trap was triggered. , but it was useless, because in the next second, the shack was overturned by a huge force, and what came into view was a snake head the size of a water tank, which opened its mouth wide and bit it off.

The only thing Li Si could do was to fire the wooden crossbow, and the wooden spear pierced through the big snake's upper jaw in an instant, even protruding from the top of the forehead.

"boom"

The snake smashed its head to put out the fire, and even the cowhide tent fell down. Li Si was buried by the collapsed hut, and he struggled out with a lot of effort. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even know where his bag fell.

But this big snake is really dead, this thing has become a spirit, right?

Li Si had lingering fears in his heart, and suddenly he smelled a strange fragrance. He was already very hungry, but now he was even more unbearable. After looking for it, he found that it was the snake blood that was gurgling from the big snake. This blood did not seep into the ground, but rolled into a ball It's a mass, with a faint golden light, no, it's an illusion, but anyway, this thing is amazing.

Li Si hesitated for a few seconds, but finally couldn't hold back, and chose to taste it, and then, it was out of control.

Because the snake blood is not fishy at all, even very fresh, after entering the abdomen, it quickly generates streams of heat, flowing to the limbs and bones, a wonderful change is happening.

"Ding, extraordinary energy has been collected, do you want to activate the miniature city building order?"

Lines of information emerged like a storm.

But Li Si didn't care about it at all. At this moment, he only felt that his body was as light as a swallow, his hearing and eyes were clear, and his strength was boundless.

It's a pity, that's all, he always felt that there was something missing.

It's just that when he wanted to continue drinking, he found that the snake blood was rapidly decreasing, and the source of the snake blood was his little bag.

When he rushed forward, he opened it and saw that the six fairy stones inside were still in good condition, only the animal skin was shining with silver light, and the ghost painting talisman that was completely unintelligible before turned into a pattern at this moment, vividly branded In Li Si's mind.

Even this kind of brand can pass through the barriers of the world and be branded on his body.

He could clearly feel the state of the main body, and he could also see that the main body was in the mountain city, but the connection was cut off in the next second, Li Si's brain was in severe pain, and it took a long time for him to recover.

At this time, he looked at the animal skin in his hand again, but there was no shadow of the animal skin. Even the corpse of the big snake was rotten. It wasn't because there were still charcoal left in the smashed fire. He almost thought that time had passed for a few days. day.

There is no doubt that the snake blood of the big snake is the essence.

After thinking about it, Li Si was still not busy activating the miniature city building order, nor did he synchronize the information. Instead, he packed his things and prepared to go down the mountain.

The [-]-jin package before was actually very easy to get in now, and the strength was at least doubled.

Putting it on his back, he walked down the mountain. At this time, even if there were wolves, tigers and leopards, he was not afraid at all.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, but Li Si is walking like flying, running more and more. The heat flow from drinking snake blood just now can reappear in such a running state, and penetrate into the limbs and bones again. Unconsciously, just now the beast The pattern that appeared on the skin came to mind, and it was actually able to breathe and breathe together with the heat, slowly blending into a certain calm rhythm.

When Li Si came back to his senses, he had already rushed out of the mountain, and the front suddenly opened up. An official road winds out of the mountain not far away, and villages and towns can be seen in the distance.

"Let's go to town first."

Li Si thought to himself, but he still didn't intend to activate the miniature city building order. It wasn't that he had a different intention, but that extraordinary energy couldn't be wasted easily.

After walking slowly for more than ten miles, seeing the town getting closer, Li Si was also surprised.

Because he can still recognize the four words Qingshan Town.

So this is the old den of the Castle Peak Escort?

Did he go in the wrong direction, or in the right direction.

However, this small town of Qingshan is a bit different. Looking at the five-meter-high city wall, there are dense scratches on it, as well as bumped potholes and pools of black stains, which are enough to show that this place is not flat.

Soldiers with weapons were still patrolling the top of the city, but the city gate was not closed, because there were farmlands outside the city, and some hungry farmers were weeding and working.

There are even a bunch of beggars huddled there at the gate of the city to catch lice. If you catch one, you throw it into your mouth, crunchy!
A few idlers were also dozing lazily there.

Suddenly, an idler shouted excitedly.

"It's the young escort!"

"The young escort is back!"

His voice instantly attracted the attention of many people, and even the soldiers on the top of the city seemed very interested in the news.

In a blink of an eye, dozens of people were crowded at the gate of the city, some old and some young, who could be seen as having status. What kind of posture is this? Why are these people so excited?

Could it be that this Fan Qingshan is the son of the mayor of this Qingshan town?
Wait, those old men's eyes are so hot.

"Nephew, nephew, it's good if you come back, your Qingshan bodyguard bureau is really good, hurry up, is the goods okay?"

Li Si didn't need to explain anything at all, someone came forward to help him take the package, and one of the old men went up to check it directly, first looked at the outer packaging of the package, found the imprint that was almost worn off, compared it briefly, and it matched.

The old man was very excited. He opened the package, and there was a wooden box inside, and there was a layer of imprint here, which was compared and matched completely.

Keep opening it, and inside the box is a black stone or an iron ingot.

"Big Mo Xuanshi! That's right, it's the Big Mo Xuan Stone. Our Qingshan Town can be saved!"

At this time, there were hundreds of onlookers, and everyone was cheering at this moment, extremely excited.

And after these people cheered, they looked at Li Si with respect, gratitude, and even admiration. For this, Li Si could only show a simple and honest smile, but he didn't need to say anything. He was covered in muddy water and unkempt. , anyone can see how much he has suffered and suffered.

"Nephew, a few days ago, I heard that your father and a group of bodyguards were ambushed by mountain bandits and unfortunately died. I thought—fortunately, God bless my Qingshan Town, and God bless your Fan family."

"Old man, I will never treat you badly. From today onwards, your Fan family will no longer have to pay taxes, and my nephew, you must have been able to escape from the ambush of the robbers in the mountains. You must have extraordinary skills. Now the town hall still lacks a corporal leader, so you can do it. You make up."
