When the two suns start to run separately, and the small sun rises before the big sun and sets later than the big sun, the world has entered summer.

In the scriptures of the Xiaoyang Sect, this season means that the whole world begins to enter the brink of hell, and this is the moment when the evil sun wreaks havoc on the mortal world.

It is conceivable that summer is the most comfortable and most enviable day in the four seasons, and it is a special gift from the gods to mortals.

The mainland's religious history view that has lasted for nearly a thousand years has been turned upside down, and it is actually nothing more than these two words.

Now, both denominations have realized that there is obviously no way to completely convince the other party with words alone.

In most places on the mainland where two churches border, more advanced methods of persuasion have begun to be used: horses and swords, armor and walls, hunger, disease and despair.

On the entire continent, there is only one country that can still talk about peace. Only in this country, the competition between the two sects can only stay at the level of words and fists, and there is no large-scale forging of weapons and recruitment of troops. Instead of being grateful, the people of this country are deeply worried about this, because they all believe that such a state is very unreasonable, and they need a war to resolve this painful dispute, otherwise, the two suns The resulting gravitational pull would tear everyone's heads out of schizophrenia.

Just like their king.

The people desperately want war, but this country has the most unreasonable king, Ellis the Crazy.

In the whole continent, if the monarchs of all countries are ranked, as long as the keywords of the ranking are positive, whether it is piety, charity, justice, wisdom... King Elis will definitely dominate the bottom of the ranking list forever, but let the whole continent What smart people can't accept is that under the command of such a king who seems to them to have failed to the extreme, he has the most elite army in the whole continent.Because of the existence of this army, even though the Kingdom of Elis is located at the junction of the two churches of the Dayang Sect and the Xiaoyang Sect, and even if people from the two sects are clamoring every day to kill each other's everything within the country, this country is still exists firmly.

What's more, it not only exists, but it can be regarded as the most prosperous area in the entire continent. Even if the king of the kingdom hangs people on the gallows at the gate of the city every day, it still can't stop the merchants from transporting the entire continent here. Products of.

At the hottest time of this summer noon, when it is said that eggs can be cooked in the sun without cooking, there is still a constant stream of people at the gate of King Elis. The wind dissipates heat; the poor are frowning, looking at their goods one by one, and clutching their purses tightly. As for the sun in the sky, they have long been used to enduring it; only the priests still maintain their enthusiasm, On both sides of the road, they preached their teachings to everyone passing by; the children in the crowd listened to the Xiaoyang priest in the left queue for a while, and the sun made them suffer from the sun, and then listened to the right. The sun gave them a good harvest, and their preaching was so convincing, yet so tit-for-tat, that every child who listened to the story was dizzy, and even their parents were unable to answer the questions.

A young nobleman was leading his mount, and was moving forward bit by bit with the crowd.Neither the spirits of the man nor the horse seemed very good, and they could not lift their heads under the scorching sun.If you listen closely, you can still hear this well-dressed and spotless aristocrat's belly, which seems to be constantly making cuckoo noises that only belong to the poor, and his horse also looks very hungry. , because its head has been leaning towards the carrot carried by the farmer on the side.

Wu Xiaoqing snapped Jingding's head back for the tenth time, and told it, "Don't be greedy, be patient, and when you get into the city, brother, I'll let you eat your fill."

If it weren’t for the law here, no transactions can be made while queuing at the city gate—because the city would not be able to collect taxes—Wu Xiaoqing would have bought a large bundle of carrots for Jingding early in the morning, so that he could eat enough .

There are not only carrots, but also fresh chickens and ducks, and even pigs, cattle and sheep. These livestock stand in line with the crowd, just behind Wu Xiaoqing. At this time, several pigs are wandering back and forth on the side of the road, whimpering.

Wu Xiaoqing was puzzled, why when he walked all the way, he took the money and asked for a high price to buy these chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and these ordinary people just killed them without selling them.Several times, Wu Xiaoqing was so hungry that he almost pulled out his knife to kill a pig himself, buying and selling it by force.Unfortunately, he underestimated the pig's desire to escape. He chased the pig halfway through the village, but he didn't even eat a single pig hair.

But when I got to the city and waited in line, I found that everyone was scrambling to send their things into the city for trading. Wu Xiaoqing came here as soon as the city gate opened in the morning. to him.

According to the search and rescue team's theory of Wu Xiaoqing's popular science, it is largely because the city still has a good level of management in this era-managers will not directly snatch all the businessmen who come to trade at every turn- — but only part of it was stolen, and it was also labeled as "tax".

In this world, this alone is enough to attract the general public and businessmen.

Wu Xiaoqing was also affected by this kind of consequences, although the first city in the world left him with a terrible impression, until now, Wu Xiaoqing can still recall the horrible smell of that city.But compared to not being able to eat suitable food outside, Wu Xiaoqing feels that he would rather endure this taste - the outside world is more terrifying than the inside.

You don’t need to talk about meeting people, you need to be wary, theft and robbery are everywhere, and just buying things is a professional knowledge in the Middle Ages.Not to mention adulteration, it is even poisonous in many cases - bread contains alum, lead white, slaked lime and even ashes, sugar contains gypsum, sand and soil, vinegar contains sulfuric acid to increase flavor, milk contains chalk... the most terrible What's more, in many cases, these practices are still sincere and good intentions from the heart!

Finally, there is no such thing as a "shelf life" for all these foods. Generally speaking, the store will try its best to sell all the store's inventory first, and then make a new batch of things.

Wu Xiaoqing even bought cured meat that had been stored for 45 years and could almost be regarded as an antique.If it weren't for the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing might have died dozens of times just because of food poisoning at this moment.

Because of food safety issues, Wu Xiaoqing even had to go to the fields to pick ready-made foods, such as radishes and potatoes, which are complete and not easy to fake.

Up to now, Wu Xiaoqing has been eating potatoes for four days in a row, and he made the potatoes himself - he can only fry one kind of potato, and after eating it in four days, Wu Xiaoqing will subconsciously think about it when he sees live things now Its fleshy...

Among the mainland information learned by the search and rescue team, only this royal city of Elis has some official food safety laws. It is said that King Elis once ordered to chop off the right hands of 29 bakers overnight—— Since then, Elis King City Bread has become synonymous with the best bread in the whole continent.It was also for this reason that Wu Xiaoqing came here day and night - his stomach couldn't take it anymore.

"What are you doing?"

"In the jewelry business."

"an examination."

Wu Xiaoqing opened the stainless steel lunch box he used to eat, and now the lunch box has become a jewelry box, glass marbles, pearls, gems... Most of his valuables are put in it.

The clerk next to the soldier counted the quantity carefully, and took out three glass marbles as tax according to the prescribed tax rate, and then let them go.

When Wu Xiaoqing entered the city, the first thing he did was to ask someone where the best restaurant was, and he wanted to eat as much as he could!

However, the search and rescue team found something more interesting.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoqing had to endure for a while, and according to the requirements of the search and rescue team, he walked in front of a whole row of gallows.

There are nineteen gallows in total, and nineteen corpses have been hung up at this time. The first few corpses have been completely rotten, leaving only a pile of white bones, and the last corpse, which is the newest, still has stains on its clothes. It smelled of feces and urine, and countless flies were biting the corpse.

After seeing these gallows, Wu Xiaoqing tried his best to squeeze through the crowd and walk to the target of interest of the search and rescue team.

It was a notice board.

Wu Xiaoqing adjusted his glasses so that they could be aimed at the words on the list steadily, and then read the search and rescue team's translation word by word.

This is a list about seeking medical treatment written by the king of this kingdom himself three years ago.

The king has sweet urine disease—probably diabetes, and wants to seek a good doctor or wizard through the list—in this world's civilization level, the two are actually one to a large extent—if someone can cure him The king is willing to meet any request of the doctor.

The king even said in the list that he was willing to give up his throne for this.However, if the person who came to treat him was only in name, then the doctor would have to comply with any request of the king—in terms of the law of death.

Hanged, beheaded, poisoned, trampled to death by a horse, whipped to death... The last one was thrown into a cesspit and drowned alive. The king seemed to want to use this method to tell everyone that the name of madman Elis was absolutely Not in vain.

Now the most widely circulated, most concerned, and most enduring topic in the entire continent is about Elis' illness and the tragic death of those doctors, wizards, and psychics. ——On the way to the Kingdom of Elis, these news once made Wu Xiaoqing hesitate whether to set foot on the territory ruled by this tyrant.

"What are you looking at?" On the way to the restaurant, Wu Xiaoqing asked the search and rescue team, "Have you thought of a solution yet?"

"I'm still thinking, this is data collection," the search and rescue team said, "You should rest in the city for a day, and you have to hurry tomorrow to investigate a valley."

Wu Xiaoqing was a little lazy: "Let's rest for two more days, Jingding has lost weight, anyway, there are still more than four months."

A few days ago, Shen Changwen had already calculated the exact time of the volcanic eruption and notified it to Wu Xiaoqing.Wu Xiaoqing couldn't remember the exact number of days when he was running around outside, but he only remembered that it should be more than four months, almost half a year.

In Wu Xiaoqing's view, what is too late to do in such a long time?It only took about 20 days for their last mission.

However, search and rescue teams don't see it that way.

"Strictly speaking, it is 130 days and eight hours," said the search and rescue team. "The time is very tight, and we haven't found a satisfactory and feasible rescue plan yet."
