survival in the wilderness

Lin Yan kept an eye on Manager Lu and followed him wherever he went.

Manager Lu is Luzhuang’s external representative and a subordinate of the person behind it.

The master, Mr. Lu Wu, showed up. As a subordinate, it was impossible for him not to meet him.As long as you follow him, you can successfully find Mr. Lu Wu.

Lin Yan also looked around Luzhuang but couldn't find him, so he had to find another way and keep an eye on Manager Lu.

Hard work paid off. That night, Manager Lu went out sneakily, and Lin Yan followed him all the way.

He is still in Luzhuang, just in the underground secret room.

It turns out that there is a layer hidden under the famous Luzhuang, which is gorgeously decorated and looks like a different scene.

The underground world is no less lonely than the one above. On the contrary, there are more people.

Lin Yan followed carefully and met many people along the way.

These people were heavily guarded and fortified at every level. Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and she was able to successfully meet Mr. Lu Wu.

At this time, in the spacious and luxurious hall, Mr. Lu Wu was reclining in the large chair above, with no one around him.

Manager Lu knelt down and lowered his head, saying, "It's an emergency today. My subordinates panicked and interrupted without authorization. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

There was no movement for a long time, and Steward Lu's face turned pale. "Your Majesty, this subordinate really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time, your Majesty. There will never be another time."

"Hmph, how big of a deal this is, I think it scares you. After all, we are the people on the surface, representing the appearance of Luzhuang. How can we support the appearance of Luzhuang like this?"

"What the king said is that my subordinates must practice diligently so as not to lose the king's face."

Mr. Lu Wu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Okay, everything will be business as usual. There is no need to come to me again, just handle the matters entrusted to you."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

After walking out of the underground world, Manager Lu dared to breathe heavily. He was really scared to death just now.Fortunately, I was lucky enough this time and escaped.

The king is moody and angry, which often makes people confused.Although he is young, his methods are ruthless and fearsome.

Luzhuang is just an estate, and the king rarely sets foot there.Manager Lu didn't expect that the king would suddenly arrive and wanted to meet the nobles of Fengcheng on a whim.

Only then did the daytime scene happen.Those noble people were ignorant and were used to being fawned over, so he kept tight, fearing that they would offend the king and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Fortunately, the king is in a good mood today and everything is safe.

Lin Yan, who was following behind, witnessed everything.Guessing in his mind, Manager Lu called the other party 'Your Majesty', which was an unusual title.

Combined with Xu Hui's mention of Qicheng's investigation, unknown forces also appeared, and the leader was called 'King'. After hearing about Hades that day, he suspected that the group was Hades.

Lin Yan guessed that the master of Luzhuang who suddenly appeared today was the same group of people from Qicheng?

Before she could figure out what to do, the next day, the king in charge of Lu had already left.

She kept a close eye on Manager Lu and found that he was doing everything as usual, taking good care of Luzhuang and preparing feasts for Fengcheng's dignitaries from time to time. Bloody killings were everywhere.

After observing for a long time and finding no abnormalities, Lin Yan returned to Niu Dashan's house at the end of September.

The temperature has dropped by this time, and the cold season is coming.

Mi Yang saw her coming back and said happily: "You are finally back." These days, he has been worried, not knowing what she was doing.

"Yeah, I'm back." Lin Yan sat down and poured himself a cup of hot water, "I told you, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard other noises in the yard and said in surprise: "Why is there still someone here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came into the room. When he saw the two people in the room, he was stunned and quickly said happily: "Chairman, you are here too."

Lin Yan was a little surprised when he saw the person coming, "Yan Fei, why are you here?"

Feng Yanfei sat down unceremoniously and poured herself water in a familiar manner, not treating herself as an outsider at all.

"Chairman, my purpose here is the same as yours. If I can't find more in Ningcheng, I will come to Fengcheng to find you."

"I came here on a whim after learning about Niu Dashan and the others. There were three other people who came with me. They were sent by the Ningcheng Special Security Bureau. In addition to the task of collecting intelligence, they also wanted to find more people like Niu Dashan. People like that. Fengcheng blocks news, but we can operate secretly."

Lin Yan agreed: "Yes, this idea is okay. Ningcheng is close to Fengcheng and on opposite sides. It is necessary to guard against each other. If you prepare early, you can feel more at ease. Where are the people who came with you?"

"They live in other places, the houses that they moved away with Niu Dashan and the others. The chairman has the foresight and thoughtfulness to find a place for our people in Fengcheng. Fengcheng is densely populated and wants to find a place to hide. It’s not easy.”

"How are Niu Dashan and the others? How can their family adapt to Ningcheng when they first arrive?" Lin Yan asked with concern. Although they moved away voluntarily, they never took care of them afterwards, so they still had to ask.

Feng Yanfei smiled and said: "How dare Ning Cheng neglect the people who were persuaded by the chairman personally? And with the support of the relocation policy, Ning Yiwen attaches great importance to it and arranges it thoughtfully and properly. Those who have never been to Ning Cheng, look at Ning Cheng's The officials' eyes were full of gratitude. I watched secretly. They were frightened at first and couldn't believe it. After a few days, they gradually moved into their new homes and exchanged a lot of money for food and clothing. Only then did they believe that everything was real. .”

"Not only that, Lord Ningcheng also introduced jobs. As long as the whole family is willing, they can work in the factory. Ningcheng's textile factories, cloth factories, porcelain factories, glass factories and other factories are gradually being built and put into operation, and many problems have been solved. The employment of people has boosted Ningcheng’s economy.”

"Niu Dashan and the others have solved their livelihood and have a stable source of income. They are living a good life. I am extremely grateful to the alliance. Maybe it is because they have been living hard for too long and they cherish their hard-won new life more and more. They deal with the relationship with the neighbors. It’s quite good, they are all poor people, and they have a lot to talk about.”

After listening to Feng Yanfei's words, Lin Yan became happy, "This is the best thing. At that time, I saw that they were having a hard time, so I extended my hand to help."

"Chairman is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see others suffer. You have saved so many people by yourself, and everyone is very grateful to you." Feng Yanfei praised Lin Yan again and again.

The two of them were so engrossed in what they were talking about that the third person present, Mi Yang, couldn't get a word in at all and didn't know how to pick up their topic.

Mi Yang pricked up his ears when Feng Yanfei asked about Lin Yan's whereabouts these days. This is what he wanted to know.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I went to Luzhuang and stayed there for a while, and I really discovered something..."

She recounted what she had seen and heard in Luzhuang.

Feng Yanfei's eyes were bright, "Looking at it this way, it is very likely that they are people from the underworld. People in the underworld are divided into small ghosts, big ghosts, and ghost kings. Anyone who can be called a king is a ghost king?"

"I have also thought about this possibility, and I need to further confirm it."

"Chairman, you can just leave this matter to me. There is no need to go there in person. There are so many of us, how can we let you go and take risks in person." Feng Yanfei suggested, "We didn't know until we arrived in Fengcheng that you were not here. Everyone is worried. It is not appropriate for you to come to Fengcheng, and you have to keep an eye on people in person. In the future, you only need to give an order. We are here to share your worries and solve your problems. As long as you tell us, we will definitely solve the problem. Done."

After saying that, she glanced at Mi Yang, this person was the same, how could she stay by herself and let the chairman take risks.Lin Yan saw it and explained: "It has nothing to do with Mi Yang. It's what I want to do myself, and he can't stop me. What you said makes sense. I will not take risks with my life in the future."

Feng Yanfei smiled and said: "Chairman, you must keep your word. Sun City has sent a letter asking you to go back. You don't have to pay attention to things here. I am here and I will find out the details of Hades as soon as possible."

Lin Yan was not in Sun City but in Fengcheng. Many people were uneasy and wanted her to go back quickly.

Feng Yanfei is no exception. There are so many people in the alliance, why is it the chairman's turn to personally take risks?

Lin Yan knew their worries and nodded: "I will leave after a while, so don't rush me."

With Feng Yanfei, she would be responsible for Ningcheng's affairs.Three days later, Lin Yan took Mi Yang out of Ningcheng despite the cold wind.

In this terrible weather, very few people went out, but they were not afraid of the severe cold and resolutely hit the road.

After walking out of the city gate for a while, Mi Yang hesitated: "Is it really good for us to lie to Feng Yanfei like this?"

Lin Yan told Feng Yanfei that they were going back to Ningcheng and entrusted her with the affairs of Fengcheng.

But Mi Yang felt that Lin Yan would not go back so easily, and asked quietly. Sure enough, she was not going to Ningcheng, but set her sights on Yongcheng.

One of the three giants of Tianduan Mountain, Yongcheng is the farthest from Ningcheng. It is in the northwest of Fengcheng, about 1000 miles away, and is close to the foot of Tianduan Mountain.

Lin Yan said: "It's okay, Feng Yanfei is so busy every day, how can she have time to take care of us. Don't think too much, she has already come out, why not go to Yongcheng. With Xu Hui in Qicheng, it is not difficult to collect intelligence. But Yongcheng is the farthest away, and our people haven’t penetrated in yet, so I will go there personally to understand the situation in Yongcheng.”

She couldn't wait any longer and wanted to find out the situation in the three major cities as soon as possible and make preparations.

Even if we can't go to war in recent years, it is necessary to have information.The clearer you can find out the other party's details, the better it will be for future actions.

Traveling in the cold season is extremely difficult even if they are mystical practitioners.

Lin Yan sighed for the umpteenth time: "No wonder people don't go out in the cold season. It's so painful. You said, the road connecting two big cities is so important, why has no one thought of making the road smooth and wide? It's all so rough. The path is too strenuous to walk on.”

Mi Yang: "The two cities are far apart, and no one wants to invest. Besides, without absolute benefits, how can those powerful people from aristocratic families do thankless things."

"You're right. Big cities operate in their own silos, do not invade each other, and have little communication. Building roads will not benefit them."

The two of them moved forward slowly and hard on horseback. They were traveling in this cold season. Fortunately, these horses were not afraid of the cold and could find hay to fill their bellies in the wild.

"Well, I've been walking for five or six days. I don't know where Yongcheng is. I can't see a single person on the road. I've seen a lot of ferocious beasts, which are just in time for us to have some extra food."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, he rushed forward, swung the knife in his hand, and bright red blood splattered.

A fat gray rabbit fell to the ground.

"Mi Yang, let's stop over there and let's roast rabbit. We've been traveling for several days and haven't had a bite of hot food. I'm in for a treat today."

Mi Yang went to prepare immediately without saying a word.

Flames danced and the burning pile of firewood crackled as the two sat around the fire.

The meat was fragrant. Lin Yan sliced ​​the meat neatly and sprinkled it with the barbecue seasoning he brought with him.

Mi Yang's movements are no slower than hers. He has been wandering around for a long time, and his survival skills have been lit up.

Lin Yan took a deep breath and said, "It's so delicious. Eat it quickly."

The two moved their index fingers, and they found a plump rabbit that weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms, but they ate it cleanly. They also stewed a pot of hot soup, and the taste was really refreshing after a sip.

After another five days of walking and stopping, the two finally arrived outside the gate of Yongcheng.

The city wall was thick and the door was closed. The two of them stared at it for a long time. No one came in or out. Do they need to knock on the door?
There were no people on the city wall and no sound was heard. It didn't look like a big city at all.

If it weren't for the word "Yongcheng" on the gate of the city wall, Lin Yan suspected that they were in the wrong place.

Mi Yang asked: "What should I do?"

Lin Yan: "..."

After being silent for a while, she said: "There is only one door, and no one is guarding it. The wall is less than four meters high, why don't we climb over it?"

Mi Yang nodded, this was the fastest way, and he immediately stepped forward to climb over the wall.

Lin Yan hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You are stupid. This gate is not a bright target for climbing over. Let's find a remote place to climb over."

The two walked along the city wall for a while, leaving their horses where they were. Each of them carried a baggage and used their strength to get up. They easily climbed up the wall and entered the city.

Maybe it's because of the cold season, people stay at home and don't go out, so the city is very quiet.There was no sign of excitement at all.

The place where they settled was in a remote alley, with dilapidated and deserted houses, more like a slum area.

Approaching a courtyard and confirming that there was someone inside, Lin Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After two or three minutes, I heard some movement inside. The courtyard door opened, and it was a lean young man who looked at them warily, "What are you doing?"

Lin Yan raised a smile and said, "We were passing by here and wanted to come in and have a rest."

"There is no room at home, you can find other places." The young man said and was about to close the door.

Lin Yan said hurriedly: "We don't live in vain, we have to use meat in exchange." She raised the fat rabbit in her hand, which was specially hunted before entering the city, and was used for this purpose.

She smiled and said: "I am Mi Hua, and this is my brother Mi Chong. We two siblings came from other places. We couldn't find a place to stay for a while. Seeing that your yard is big and there are many houses, we came here to try and see if we can You can’t take us in for a few days.”

The young man originally refused straightforwardly, but when he saw the fat rabbit in Lin Yan's hand, he couldn't say no.

Food is scarce in the cold season, and the family has a very difficult life. They lack food and clothing and cannot go out. Meat is even scarcer at this time.

Sensing his excitement, Lin Yan smiled and said, "As long as you keep us for ten days, this rabbit will be our rent, how about it?"

The young man couldn't refuse and said, "Wait." He quickly closed the door and entered the house, apparently to discuss it with his family.
