The young and middle-aged people in the village gathered at the gate of the village.
This is a village built on the mountain. The houses are all made of bamboo and wood, and the roof is covered with a layer of thatch.
There are wind lanterns hanging one after another under the eaves.
At this time, the village was covered with dark clouds, which seemed to indicate that a storm was coming.
People wore short shirts and huge bamboo hats on their heads.
Outside the village, dozens of black riders lined up.
One person is holding a triangular black flag high, and he is tall and powerful.
Lift it high and let it drift in the wind.
The leader of the village was an old man. He led two men carrying the box and walked to the leader of the black cavalry.
"This is this year's money."
The leader said nothing, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Everyone in the village was excited.
After a while, the voice slowly sounded.
"The annual salary has increased this year, but you guys are not enough!"
Anger surged in everyone's hearts, but they dared not speak out.
The annual salary has been increased three times in a row.
"I'll come back in a while, and I'll have the annual money ready by then!"
After that, the black knight quickly left.
After the black knight left.
Only then did everyone dare to curse, but they still carefully lowered their voices.
As if he was afraid that the other party would hear him.
At this time, a slightly childish voice sounded.
"Are we really going to be oppressed by them all the time?"
Everyone's eyes focused on a short, dark-skinned boy.
He is not as tall as the steel fork in his hand.
"There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of them? We can organize ourselves to resist them!"
Although the boy is small, his voice is very loud.
Everyone just thought it was ridiculous and no one paid attention to what a child said.
Although they dare to complain, they would never dare to take up arms to resist.
The old village leader sighed helplessly, "It's all gone, it's all gone."
"There were only a dozen of them, and there were so many of us, but they were so scared that we pissed ourselves off. We are really as cowardly as rats!"
The boy yelled unconvincedly from behind.
............
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was blood red.
The wind in the distance roared like a wounded beast.
Li Pingan and Lao Niu stepped on the muddy road.
It is raining heavily in the forest, and it has been raining continuously for seven or eight days.
There are many swamps on the road, and people can fall into them if they are not careful.
An ordinary person would probably die seven or eight times along the way.
There is a suffocating haze in the air, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
One after another, black corpses were sparsely lying on the ground, which seemed to be some kind of bird.
This journey is really extremely difficult.
Li Ping'an got on the cow and stretched.
There are no ghosts to be seen in this forest, let alone food.
During this period, Li Pingan also picked a few fruits.
Carrying forward the style of respecting the old and loving the young, he kindly let the old cow have a taste first.
As a result, the old cow transformed into a Splatoon after eating it.
Walk all the way, spray all the way.
Li Pingan shook his head, it was indeed poisonous.
Then he threw the fruit away.
Lao Niu was so angry that he didn't let Li Pingan ride him for several days.
Another day, Li Pingan lay lazily on the back of the cow
While walking in the forest, suddenly three wild wolves jumped out in front of me.
They all have gray coats and thin bodies, and they must have not eaten for many days.
Greedy eyes flew towards him, and his long tail was straight, like a saber about to be unsheathed.
There was uncontrollable excitement in his eyes, as if he was happy that he had finally found food.
The old cow screamed excitedly.
Li Ping'an also jumped up and shouted with rare excitement.
"Quick! Don't let them run away, old cow!!"
Lao Niu: "Moo!"
The three wild wolves took a step back subconsciously, suddenly feeling a sense of fear.
"Ouch~"
The instinct of the three wild wolves told them that this guy was not easy to mess with.
So he ran away with his tail between his legs.
A violent cry sounded from behind.
"Moo!!"
"Chase, chase quickly."
Li Pingan waved his crutch excitedly.
Not long after.
Li Pingan and Lao Niu each held a wolf leg and gnawed it.
Although there is still some dragon meat, the taste is really unpalatable and it can only fill you up.
Wolf meat is still delicious.
The fatty meat is also fat but not greasy, tender and fragrant.
The next layer is lean meat, which becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.
Fat and thin, with clear layers and no sharp edges.
After eating the wolf meat, we continued on our way.
This is a big mountain, known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Thousand-foot cliffs and creeping mountains.
There are mountains on one side and deep valleys on the other.
The twists and turns are dizzying.
Passing through Shiwandashan, you will reach the end of the North Road.
sea.
Li Ping'an imagined what the sea would look like.
A small river more than five meters wide appeared in front, and a huge village appeared in Lao Niu's field of vision.
“Finally I’m seeing some popularity.”
Li Pingan smiled.
I washed my face with clean water by the river.
The river flows leisurely, neither deep nor shallow.
It is formed by mountain springs, gurgling and making noise.
It makes people feel comfortable and want to sleep here.
Li Ping'an slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and lay down on the small stone pool.
Open the sword-raising gourd.
Before that, I put the dragon's snake gall inside and sealed it for a few days.
Thinking it's almost time, take a bite.
It's like swallowing a knife.
It slides all the way from the throat to the stomach, and then the whole body.
The strength of the whole body was mobilized, and the strength of the whole body seemed to be connected into a line, like stars in motion.
It took a long while before this feeling disappeared.
Li Ping'an moved his muscles and made a crisp sound.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the forest.
A boy popped up from the forest and was slightly startled when he saw Li Ping'an.
You can tell by looking at the clothes that the person is from out of town.
The little boy was a little wary and a little curious.
Li Ping'an took the crutch and untied the fishing line wrapped at one end.
