survival in the wilderness

Under the darkness of night, the entire Dahe Village was silent.

In the yard where Lin Yan and the others lived, a fire was lit, and they sat around eating barbecue.

Lan Xing said while eating: "I asked, and Lin Yan's conjecture should be correct. This land is indeed called a wasteland. I heard that it is very big and boundless. But how big is it, but no one has actually walked through it. This is a place where sinners are exiled, no wonder it is said that the wasteland is full of sinners."

"The people living here are either exiled or the blood relatives of the exiled people. There have been places of exile since ancient times, and the number of years of existence is no longer known. Generation after generation, slowly developed into towns and villages, etc. Bigger There are exchanges between the cities and villages, but those like Jingtian Village and Mang Village should not be the sinners."

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "That's right, Mang Village and Jingtian Village may be aboriginal people, just like us. Judging from the architecture of Dahe Village and people's clothing and behavior, they are indeed much more advanced than the aborigines. The non-aborigines have inherited their ancestors The things left behind, such as farming, medicine, etc., are very different from the indigenous people."

"I heard from them that Ancheng is a big city with a lot of people and a lot of things. If you want to buy and sell, you need money. They use silver, which is similar to our sun coins."

"Did you see it?" Lin Yan was surprised, thinking that Lan Xing was indeed a good communicator.

Lan Xing laughed, "Yeah, Gu Yi has silver. Show me it. It's a very small piece, about the size of a fingernail. I heard that there are three coins, and you can buy a lot of things."

Lan Yue: "I saw it too. It's a refined silver mine, but it's not as good as what we refined."

Lin Yan understood that the common money here is silver metal, "How much silver can that cow sell for?"

Lan Xing pointed to the smallest cow in the herd, "That cow can be sold for at least 20 taels of silver, and horses are more valuable. A horse can sell for 50 taels at least. We can make a fortune by relying on a herd of cows and horses. In Ancheng, one tael of silver can buy a hundred catties of rice. But most people have no silver, so they still rely on barter.”

Lin Yan said excitedly: "I finally found a place with a lot of people, and I will be able to go to Ancheng in a few days. Everyone, be vigilant and don't be deceived. We are very rich now."

"We don't have any money. We can't sell those cattle and horses for money, right?" Gao Qiang asked naively.

"We'll see the situation when we arrive in Ancheng. If there are good things, we will naturally find a way to exchange them for money." Lin Yan felt that it would be fine to sell cattle and horses when necessary.

In the wasteland, there are many herds of cows and horses. If you want to tame them, it will take more time at most.

Lan Xing originally wanted to oppose the sale of cattle and horses, but suddenly realized that with Lin Yan and Lan Yue around, taming cattle and horses is not difficult, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "There is no need to worry about money, but Ancheng is a very chaotic place. Everyone uses it, and we are easily targeted."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Xue, "Especially a little girl like Wen Xue, who is also a pharmacist, is an urgently needed talent. Gu Yi reminded me privately that we must protect Wen Xue."

Lan Yue: "The people in Ancheng are good at fighting?"

"I don't know. But there are a lot of people, at least there are 10 people. There are only so many of us, so we can't beat them anyway."

Lin Yan nodded, "Two fists are no match for four hands, we need to prepare early."

Wen Xue said: "Not many people know that I am a pharmacist, and the people in Ancheng don't even know it. If you keep a low profile, you can avoid it. Tell Gu Yi and others to keep quiet, and I will be safe."

"That's fine. If there's an emergency, we may not lose if we go head-to-head." Lin Yan didn't feel that he was invincible. Even if he couldn't fight, he could still run for his life.

"Blue Star, have you heard any news about Wu Kingdom?"

Everyone looked at Blue Star, this was their ultimate goal.

Lan Xing nodded, "Wu Kingdom is to the west of Tianduan Mountain, and the wasteland is to the east. It is said that Tianduan Mountain runs from north to south, is tall and steep, and it is very difficult to cross."

"Criminals are driven out by the country on the other side of Tianduan Mountain. They cannot return to their homeland. There is only one way to go. It is to cross Tianduan Mountain. Whether they can survive depends on luck. Usually only two out of ten can survive Third, settle down in the wasteland and gradually develop and grow. Ancheng was the first city to develop, and gathered the vast majority of criminals."

Lan Xing finally said: "Dahe Village is remote and backward, and there is not much you can find out. If you want to know more clearly, you will know when you arrive in Ancheng."

That night, Lin Yan's heart was not peaceful.It has been a year and a half since I heard about Wu Kingdom, I went around and searched, and finally got the definite news.

No longer turning around blindly like before, and then just move towards the goal.

Judging from the information of Dahe Village, almost everything in Ancheng follows the old system of Wu Kingdom. Once you understand Ancheng, you will not be far from Wu Kingdom.

For the next three days, Dahe Village was bustling with activity, every household was busy preparing things for the people who went to Ancheng to help them with their daily necessities.

Lin Yan and the others walked around and learned more news.

Gu Qing treated them as VIPs, and the villagers were affected by this, and welcomed them very much, knowing everything.

Among them, Wen Xue is the most popular. Mrs. Mei follows her almost all the time, and the two of them discuss non-stop.

According to Lin Yan's observation, Mrs. Mei's status in Dahe Village is so high that she is close to the head of the village, Gu Qing.

It is said that Mrs. Mei lived in Ancheng when she was young, her family has a long history of education, and her first-hand medical skills were passed down from her ancestors.Suddenly, her family changed dramatically, so she moved to Dahe Village and stayed in the village for nearly 20 years.

Mrs. Mei has selected a few talented children in the village, and wants to pass on her medical skills, which will be admired and loved by the villagers.

Lin Yan also saw those children, they were indeed smart and eager to learn.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of medical exchanges, Wen Xue also taught them the writing and language of the Sun Alliance.

On the fourth day, on July 14th, 30th year of the Sun Era, Lin Yan and the others followed more than [-] people from Dahe Village led by Gu Qing to Ancheng, and Gu Yi was among them.

Dahe Village is all men, and the six women including Lin Yan and Lan Yue are more prominent.

Before departure, Gu Qing and Gu Yi's father and son persuaded Lan Xing many times to let him leave Lin Yan and the six of them in the village. The road was very unsafe, and Ancheng was not peaceful.

How dare Blue Star respond.He was just a deputy team member who was temporarily pushed up to take on the big responsibility.He always remembered that Lin Yan and Lan Yue were the ones who had the final say in the team.

Since they left Sun City, all they had to do was to obey absolutely. It was impossible for them to leave Lin Yan and Lanyue behind.

If they weren't there, what would the rest of them do in Ancheng?Some of them still don't understand why they have to go through mountains and rivers and go through thousands of dangers to find Wu Kingdom.

It's a pity that Gu Qing and his son don't know this, and neither do the people in Dahe Village. They always look at them vaguely, as if expressing their dissatisfaction.
