Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 74 Free City 4
When Zhang Cheng and Nan Ling passed by together, they saw a rather miserable scene.

A shack collapsed.Although it can be said to be a very simple building, it is definitely not a good thing if it collapses.To make matters worse, it was dinner time, which meant everyone was preparing or eating at home.

A teenager lay peacefully on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.He was about the third or fourth grade of Earth Elementary School, but he didn't have the kind of vigor that the Earth Child was naughty and mischievous, and hated by cats and dogs.In fact, his humble clothing and thin body clearly indicated his status.

He was rescued from the rubble by neighbors who had just arrived.Only careful observation can see his chest rising and falling slightly, proving that he is still alive.

Beside the boy was a tearful woman.She looks very old, with gray hair at the sideburns. This face belongs to an old man who is 70 years old on this earth, but in this world, Zhang Cheng believes that she is no more than 40 years old.

"Okay... I managed to escape here..." She choked up in a vague voice, "Why...why..."

"What's going on?!" Nan Ling said angrily. "Why did it collapse?" It could be seen that this was a newly built shack.It should be noted that although the building of this structure is very simple and ugly, and there are certain problems such as lighting and ventilation, it is indeed the most economical structure, the lowest construction difficulty, and the most sturdy structure.If it is said that after three and five years, its main load-bearing wood has decayed and collapsed, but it is obviously not long after it was built.

"Hei, are you in charge of building the house?! Why?!" Nan Ling quickly found the person who should be responsible in the crowd.

"That, eldest sister," the man named Hei lowered his head, "there are too few people...there are too few axes and saws...the wood is not enough, and there is no time to air dry...so let's build it first and let it dry for a few days, It'll be good for a few days of wind..." He muttered a little guilty. "I clearly said at the time that the house still has problems and cannot be lived in. It would be bad if it cracks and worms. But the other side refuses to..."

"I clearly told you..." Nan Ling's angry voice stopped.She knows that anger is just to vent, it can't solve the problem, everything is so difficult.When people are stable, they will naturally feel slack.This is human racial nature, and there is no way out.But more important than this is how to solve this problem.

The sunset was over, and the last ray of light projected from the horizon was blocked by the taller shack on the side.

"It was hit in the head!" Zhang Cheng walked over, but there were no obvious wounds on the injured body.Based on Zhang Cheng's current knowledge of first aid (he made up for this knowledge on Earth), he made this judgment.No bleeding, no broken bones, the only answer to this state is to hit the head.I just don't know what the extent of the injury is, whether it is a cerebral hemorrhage or a concussion. "Who are they?"

"Fugitive slave." Nan Ling said coldly. "Slaves who really can't survive under the slave owners' nobles."

When talking about the word slave owner, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but think of a large group of slaves who came along with the fief and the mansion when Dr. Kunwu gave him the fief.His face was slightly hot.

Nan Ling walked over and wanted to comfort her grief-stricken mother, but she didn't know how.She cheered up and stood up straight again, this is not the earth, and things have not reached the point of complete despair.

"This," Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking. "Are there no witches here?"

"No!" Nanling replied stiffly. "Do you have anything that can be used for treatment?" She shouted the last sentence out to the surroundings.She looked around, but got no response.This is also very normal. Even among the nobles of this world, healing items are valuable hard currency, and the treasures that save lives at critical moments, how can they be seen everywhere?

"That Ann may have!" someone said.Ann should be talking about Xia An.There is no product catalog these days, and only he knows what the travel merchant has in stock.And travel merchants, in the eyes of ordinary people, are all kinds of good goods emerging one after another.

"Then go find him soon!" Nan Ling shouted angrily.But no one moved.

"But what do we exchange for it?" Someone on the side asked rhetorically. "There is only one glass cup."

"Aren't there dozens of those wild hides last time?" Nan Ling said.But then he realized that he was wrong.To get to Earth, this buffalo hide might be worth some money.At least collectible.But here, wild animals can be seen everywhere in the wild, and the bison hide is really no big deal.At least in terms of value, it is impossible to exchange for things like healing items.

She was in a hurry, but she knew it was a mistake of her own judgment.I should have burned a little more glass if I knew it earlier.Although making glass is not particularly complicated, it takes several days to prepare.And the injury really can't afford to delay.

Zhang Cheng stepped forward and took out his jade ring from Dimension's pocket.As mentioned earlier, the jade ring at this time has been covered with cracks, which proves that most of the energy contained in it has been consumed.

"You..." Nan Ling was surprised.She recognized what Zhang Cheng was holding.

With the light of the soft healing spell, the unconscious boy slowly opened his eyes.Zhang Cheng looked at the jade ring in his hand. The number of cracks on the ring did not increase, but it deepened a lot.It's not clear whether it will hold up once or twice.

"This is?" The boy regained consciousness, wondering what was going on around him.

"Great, it's okay!" Some people cheered, others were relieved.The most positive was the injured mother.She hugged her child, but this time her tears were not because of pain, but tears of joy.

"Okay, don't stand!" Nan Ling also stood up with a happy face and greeted the others. "Clean up the house and see what's worth rescuing in it..."

At her greeting, the crowd began to move.With their own efforts, they soon began to clean up the ruins of the collapsed house.It is far from being rich here, and all resources must be used sparingly.

Someone gently pulled Zhang Cheng's clothes, Zhang Cheng turned his head, and saw that it was the child who had notified them before.Compared with the injured boy just now, he looks much more energetic.Although it is still thin by earth standards, it will not give people the feeling of "malnutrition".

"Follow me!" Zhang Cheng was puzzled, but seeing Nan Ling busy instructing others, he would be unavailable for a while, so he followed the child away.

The two came one after the other, and soon came to a corner of the city wall.This should be a facility similar to the Beacon Tower or the Tibetan Soldier Cave.When the Xia Ruins still have a complete city wall and there are soldiers patrolling on the city wall, the patrolling soldiers can rest in these rooms to shelter from the wind and rain.Of course at this moment it is of course empty.There were some scraps of wood that should have been firewood piled up inside.

"Hey, I see it," the kid laughed as soon as the two came in. "You've taken your fancy to Big Sister Wu Ling!" He sat on a pile of wood.

Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say, and finally decided to remain silent.

"Are you... a scholar?" the kid asked. "I heard that the literati are all slave-owning nobles, exploiters and oppressors!"

"How long have you been here?" Zhang Cheng asked rhetorically.

"It's been five years, and it's been when Paradise was first established."

"Five years..." This kid is twelve or thirteen years old now, and he looked like six or seven years ago five years ago. He may really not remember anything. "You said just now that this place is called Paradise? Here? Paradise?"

"Shuoshushuoshu, I have no food! If you are a three-year-old girl, I am willing to care. The girl who is going to die is suitable for the paradise. The paradise and the paradise, I will get what I want..." The boy recited word by word "" Squirrel" gives a wonderful feeling. "Everyone said that this place is a paradise!"

"It's just Xia Ruins here, right?" Zhang Cheng shrugged.Although he doesn't agree, he also feels that this place... Well, after the efforts of the traversers from different worlds, it can indeed be regarded as one place, what the hell.Well, the title of "Free City" in the game is really appropriate.

However, Zhang Cheng knew that this was useless, it was just a short-lived illusion created by the traveler.The demise of slavery did not depend on the consciousness of some people, but on the development of social productive forces.

As for the traversers pushing up the productivity level of this world...that, haha.At least Zhang Cheng felt that in this world where gods and demons are everywhere, he must be thinking too much.At least he didn't dare to think about it.It can be said that he is cowardly, but Zhang Cheng really thinks that he is only a 7th-level warrior/7th-level mage. It's good to think about this kind of thing. If you really want to do it, then you have to risk your body and bones.You are a little traveler, cannon fodder of plane war, what are you planning!

"Well, why is it called Paradise?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"My mother said that this is the paradise, because here, we can eat what we grow." The boy said.

Uh, this... Zhang Cheng subconsciously remembered a modern poem "...I am poverty, I am sadness, I am the painful hope of your ancestors for generations, it is a flower that has not fallen to the ground for thousands of years... ..." Well, that's definitely overthinking it.Zhang Cheng drove this thought away, but felt a sour feeling lingering in his heart.

"This year's harvest is very good. Sister Wu Ling said that even if we encounter one or two disaster years, there will be no problem. My mother said... I can change into better clothes this year." He said happily. "You know, many people came to us. For example, today's Aunt Kwai is one. Seven of them escaped, but when they got here, only she and her son were left. At the beginning You didn't even know what she looked like when she was there, and you would kowtow to anyone you saw... When she first came, you couldn't believe how much she could eat! We were all worried that her mother would be suffocated to death! Haha , I have to look at that silly boy sometimes, because my parents said I might marry him. Haha... I won't marry that skinny idiot!"

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a while, and then he realized that the boy in front of him was a woman... well, she was not yet developed, and she was wearing that kind of neutral clothes and only had short hair, so it was not ashamed to be unrecognizable.

"Are you female?"

"Yeah, can't you see?" The girl shook her head. "Ah, Sister Wu Ling said that short hair is good for preventing parasites and saves time for grooming, so most people shave short hair. Mine is not short, men's hair is short, and they are almost bald Yes." She laughed. "Kwai and the others told me that this is a paradise. Because everyone eats here and doesn't starve. Ha, it's not the same as what my mother said, but the meaning should be similar. I've been here since I was sensible, listening to what Sister Wu Ling said... ...do you really like Sister Wu Ling?"

If it was on Earth, I would try to pursue it.Zhang Cheng answered in his heart.However, he also understands that it is impossible to put him on earth.Nan Ling's appearance is a proper goddess fan.He himself, to put it bluntly, is ugly and poor, and can be called a toad.This world has never seen a toad eating swan meat, but it is only a joke.

"My name is Zhang Cheng, what's your name?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"The name Sister Wu Ling gave me, my name is Bell." The little girl replied. "Would you like me to help you? There are very few men in her eyes, but I know what she likes. But it's not free, you have to..." She paused, as if not thinking about what she should ask for .

"If you want new clothes, I can give you a pair of satin." Zhang Cheng remembered that Xia An had it in his car.

"Forget it, you wait first, wait until I figure out what I want most!" Bell smiled slyly.

"Why do you call her Wu Ling?" Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to ask. "She's not a witch!"

"I don't know, it is true that many people say that she is a great witch... However, Sister Wu Ling seems to have never admitted it herself. She is nothing special, it seems that she does not know anything. But she knows a lot, really a lot. !"

Is it some kind of misunderstanding?Or for no reason.But Zhang Cheng felt that there was no need for Nan Ling to lie to him.

"Do you know where the altar of the emperor's sacrifice to heaven is located?" Zhang Cheng asked.Bell didn't answer, but those twinkling eyes proved that she didn't know. "Then do you know where the wizard is?"

This is the problem he most wants to solve right now.However, he had long known that this place had been abandoned for thousands of years, and it was really hard to say where the altar was now.However, if anyone in the Xia Ruins knew this information, the sorcerer would definitely be one of them.

While on the road, he knew that the sorcerer was in a state of recluse.This means that he may be hiding, and there are very few people who know where he is hiding, and relevant information will not be easily spread.Otherwise, it would not be called seclusion.However, Zhang Cheng also believed that as long as he spent enough time, he would definitely be able to find a reclusive sorcerer.
