After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 36

Ziyu, who was regarded as a fairy, appeared at the place where he disappeared, and the mule cart that never changed came out together.

Under the crescent moon.

The sound of insects became the main theme in the mountains, and the shadows of the whirling trees swayed with the wind, like that man-eating monster with teeth and claws.

Two windproof lamps that suddenly lit up hung on both sides of the car and swayed with the movement.

The fat and strong mule was full of energy after resting for two days, and he walked slowly under the moonlight without Ziyu whipping his whip.

Even Ziyu, who was so courageous, tightened her clothes and brought a gown to feel warmer.

The sound of hoofbeats could be heard far away in the empty night, Ziyu touched the soft whip that never left her wrist, feeling at ease.

Blowing on a torch in his hand to play with it, the face illuminated by the small ball of fire looked very strange.

...

"Young master...Young master... I finally waited for you!"

Ziyu was so frightened that the fire clip in her hand flew towards the sound, and the soft whip on her wrist was also thrown out.

"Oh, my son is merciful, the little old man can't stand the torture."

A disheveled, sloppy old man with hair and beard was dragged out from the side of the road by a soft whip.

Ziyu heard that wretched voice, took off the windbreak lamp and shone it on the face of the person who dragged it close.

"Hold the grass, old man, why is it you?

I had a grudge against you in the previous life or something, just keep an eye on me.

Running out in the middle of the night can't scare people, whether it's a human or a ghost! "Ziyu, who was startled, roared angrily.

Who can tell her that it's really a fucking ghost to meet someone who should be in the tooth shop on the side of the road in the middle of the night.

"Young master, I'm human, and I still have heat, if you don't believe me, touch it!

I inquired all the way, and someone said you were going this way, so I caught up.

After chasing for two days, I thought it was hopeless, but I didn't expect you to be behind. "

The bad old man licked his face and came under the lamp, brushing the beard on his face to reveal the unrecognizable face inside.

"Bad old man, what do you want to do?

If you don't make it clear, you will be buried on this mountain. "

"Young master, give me a stutter!
I'm hungry and thirsty, and I'll tell you everything in a while.

You're still afraid that I won't be able to do it with an old bone, and I won't even be able to break free from your whip. "

The thick-skinned old man was not angry at Ziyu's words, and he didn't feel ashamed to ask for food at all.

Meeting such a person in the middle of the night, Ziyu didn't want to leave, she really wanted to hear what secret the old man had.

"Go to the side of the road and build a fire, don't tell me you are ugly, and boil your old bones with oil."

Think of her chatting with ghosts in the middle of the night!
Without Ziyu's instructions, the old man untied the soft whip on his waist, took the windbreak lamp and went down the road, dragging out a small pile of dry grass mixed with branches.

He took out a bag of bread and a bag of purple jade, sat by the haystack and watched the old man start a fire.

The hay smoked for a long time before it was lit, and Ziyu threw the bread and water bag in her hands to the old man.

The bad old man couldn't wait to open the water bag and pour a few sips of water, tighten the water bag and put it in his arms.

He was busy baking the bread on the branch, and slowed down after the two pieces of bread were eaten.

"Young master, the little old man is really hungry!

You're the third person I've met who's willing to feed you, but the first one who's willing to sit down and listen to me. "

The bad old man made the fire bigger, added a bunch of branches, and took the initiative to start the conversation in a self-deprecating manner.

"I am from Bailu Mountain, a small tribe among millions of mountains, with a population of less than 100 when we left.

I don't know what's going on now, our place is covered with ice and snow for most of the year.

The conditions are extremely difficult, and it belongs to the border with Baiyun Kingdom, separated only by a high mountain.

I climbed from that mountain back then, and it can be said that I experienced a narrow escape.

When I was young, I liked to wander around, and I always felt that I could make a difference, but when I was old, I was still alone.

Because he has no face to return to the tribe, he has been wandering around all these years.

When I came out of the million mountains, I found a paradise in the mountains, which was like a basin.

Surrounded by majestic mountains, the water on the snow-capped mountains melts and falls into the valley, forming a natural lake.

There is a large piece of fertile land outside the lake, and what is even more peculiar is that a large mountain has a natural cave.

The exit of the cave is a bay, where fresh water and sea water meet..."

Ziyu's heart was surging when she heard that, isn't that kind of terrain just what she wanted!

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the land, water resources, near sea, mountains, everything is the ideal land in her dream.

"How many people know that place exists?"

"Hehe, the only one who can really sit down and listen to what the old man has to say."

Seeing that someone was interested in what he said, the old man began to describe it in more detail, for fear of missing something.

"The area of ​​the valley, including the lake, is about [-] mu. I measured it with my feet.

There are mature old trees on the surrounding mountains, and there are countless trees where two people hug each other, and there are many wild animals there. "

Ziyu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, got up and took out the picture from the mule cart and unfolded it by the fire.

"Bring up the hurricane lamp, and tell me exactly where it is."

"Young master, your picture is really good, you can tell where it is at a glance.

It even has the name of our tribe. The place I'm talking about should be the col behind this mountain.

It happened that the bay was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was no village within dozens of miles.

Even if there are villages, they are poor and small. The nearest county town is called Xin'an City, more than 200 miles away, and its area is five times smaller than that of Bali Town. "

The bad old man was still looking at Tu and chatting endlessly, but Ziyu looked at Tu and fell into deep thought.

Judging from the situation on the map, the land boundary is at the junction of several remote tribes and Baiyun Kingdom.

As long as there are large ships, you can go directly to Shangdufu by sea, which is more convenient and faster than land.

It can be said that it is a three-way zone, coupled with the high and steep mountains and harsh climate, naturally there will be no people living here.

According to the bad old man, the place is a good place, but force and infrastructure are indispensable.

To achieve these two points, a lot of manpower and abundant funds must be used to complete it.

"What do you think of the weather, old man?"

The bad old man was stunned by Ziyu's nonsensical words, and then he reacted.

"Did you also find that the weather is not right?"

"I want to hear your opinion. After all, you have been in many places, and you must have more knowledge than me."

"Oh, my lord, you really asked the right person!
As far as I know, if there is heavy snow for too long, the growing season of crops will be affected..."

Ziyu heard what the old man said like a pyramid schemer, and knew that he must have something in mind.

Otherwise, what are you doing with such a big circle for no reason.
