Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 594. 593. Above the Wasteland
The last day of April.

The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching.

But Yu Qun didn't seem to have any festive atmosphere.

Beginning in the early morning, the sound of ramming outside the city woke up the sleeping people and started the day's work.

But today is a little different.

Outside the north gate of Cui, the [-] Fubo army began to gather early, and following the Fubo army were hundreds of civilian husbands selected from among the refugees.

These people have more or less held certain positions under Wu Duan'er's command, and they know a lot of people.But this time, he will go to the foot of Taihang Mountain in the northeastern part of the river with the Fubo Envoy, follow the team in batches, and recruit those refugees who are still hiding in the deep mountains in fear all day long.

At the same time, there are also the supplies that are full of mules and horses.

And these are only a part, specially for these people to use on the road.

Other supplies will be transported to several county towns according to the route, and the ration needs of those refugees will also be obtained here.

The whole plan is very comprehensive, as long as it is done step by step, it can almost be said that the mess in Hedong...may have completely become a thing of the past when the refugees came out of the mountains.

But at this moment, the five hundred Volleyball Army is ready to go.

The three brothers Cui Ling, Cui Zhu, and Cui Han once again put on their armor and mounted their horses, and an aura soaring to the sky was rippling among the five hundred soldiers.

The faces of those refugees became serious unconsciously.

Not to mention Du Ruhui who also followed the team.

Li Zhen also had the same awe-inspiring expression.

Before, he still felt that if he fought these three Fubo generals, he might not lose.

But now, after feeling the aura of this group of people...he updated his conclusion.

Well, fighting these guys...

will die.

slip away.

……

"It's almost time, brother, let's go."

Hearing Cui Zhu's words, Cui Ling nodded.

No one came out to see them off.

Actually it is not necessary.

Everyone has their own business, so just do your own business well.

However, he politely cupped his hands with Du Ruhui who was riding on the horse, and waved his hand:
"Set off."

Hearing this command, the team started to move forward.

But Du Ruhui turned his head subconsciously...to meet Li Zhen's concerned eyes on the side of the road.

The scholar smiled freely and cupped his hands.

Silently.

Daoist, let's go.

……

"Daozhang, shall we go too?"

Xuanzang said in a low voice when the team gradually drifted away.

"it is good."

Li Zhen nodded, and the three of them got into the car together and walked directly to the west of Yujiao.

Cui Wanrong was waiting there, followed by four carts of grain and a dozen flying imperial envoys.

It is said to be a guard... but it is actually similar to a handyman.

Mainly doing chores.

No one in the Cui family would dare to mess with them. They mainly walked along the road to see what Li Zhen needed them to do, and started to do it.

For the time being, there is no need to grow any food on Yu Qun's side.

They have to go to the northwest first, along the pillar-Pinglu-Xiayang-Dayang.

These are the main gathering places of the residents of Hedong.

And this line happens to be the dividing line between Linhe in Hedong County and the mainland.

The southwestern side is close to the river, and according to the priority, it must be stronger than the northeast.

Walk along this line, and then gather a little bit to the east of the river, and finally walk around the river.

If you follow the normal rhythm, then the time is definitely not enough.

Li Zhen has worked so hard to only have a few acres of land, how can there be enough to eat?But now the population of Hedong is withered, and the males are hiding in the mountains, and there are not many people left, so it is only necessary to know the population size, estimate it, find out how much food can be eaten, and then find land to cultivate.

So it's actually not that difficult.

And when he got to Ximen, Li Zhen had already seen the front of the convoy. He was dressed in plain clothes that he only wore when traveling, and he wore a bamboo hat that was similar in style to Mr. Fox Fur. Cui Wanrong of boots.

When Cui Wanrong saw the carriage coming, she immediately lifted her hat.

She seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile that was rarely seen on her face.

When the carriage came close, he gave a salute:
"I have seen the Taoist priest and Master Xuanzang."

Li Zhen jumped out of the car and bowed:
"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Pindao has met Cui Layman and you."

More than a dozen flying imperial envoys returned the gift.

Then I heard Cui Wanrong pointing to these carts of grain:

"Master Daoist, there is no need to worry about grain seeds. Last night, the family sent out several letters and name cards, and they can be supplemented by visiting along the way. Please rest assured."

"Thank you."

Li Zhen felt relieved.

And Cui Wanrong continued:

"I also brought some pills that can help restore the spirit, so as to avoid the Taoist priest's mental breakdown."

"Ah."

Li Zhen also carried the elixir left by Lao Suntou in the car.

So don't worry about that.

To be honest, Sun Laodao is very righteous, these pills have indeed been thought about, and there are many left after walking for more than ten days.

Anyway, he is a first-rank alchemist, and the goods in his hand are all good things.

It is not guaranteed that the ones in Cui Wanrong's hands are also from his side.

And since everything is ready here, there is no delay.

Time waits for no one, after the Dragon Boat Festival, it is time to go into ambush, and the ambush begins, and until August, the fields should be harvested.

So their time is also very tight.

Everyone has a lot of things.

then……

"Thank you for taking care of me along the way."

Saluting the dozen or so flying imperial envoys again, the Taoist looked at Cui Wanrong:

"Cui Jushi, shall we go?"

"it is good."

Cui Wanrong glanced at the carriage behind the Taoist and nodded.

And from start to finish...to be realistic.

Xuanzang was not in her eyes.

Those who should ride horses should ride horses, and those who should drive chariots should drive chariots.

Cui Wanrong's carriage was in front, driven by a flying imperial envoy who was familiar with the road, while Li Zhen followed behind, and the team set off directly in a very low-key manner.

Head west.

……

North of the North.

Unknown land.

"This damn weather."

At the entrance of a cave, the old Taoist Wuyu looked at the lightning and thunder outside and muttered.

With a wave of his hand, a bunch of gathered hailstones flew over and landed on the fire in front of him, congealed and did not disperse, just like that, little by little, it turned into a ball of water that seemed to be unable to sense gravity.

Then, the old Taoist snapped off the stone in the cave, and a stone nest that was said to be a cup or a bowl was knocked down.

After the water fell into the bowl, he took out a bamboo tube from his pocket and unscrewed it. After pouring some tea from it, he turned his head and smiled at the woman in the cave who was watching him vigilantly:
"Human tea, do you want to try it?"

"..."

The woman was wearing an animal skin garment made of unknown origin. Her skin was dark and full of wild beauty.

But at this moment, the wild beauty was mixed with a deep fear, and under the urging of instinct, this fear turned into the long fangs protruding from between the lips and teeth.

And behind her, a few... small animals who said dogs were not dogs, and cats were not cats were also trembling and whimpering in fear.

"Don't be so wary of the poor."

Taoist Wuyu, who was still wearing a dirty-looking Taoist robe, waved his hands:

"You should be able to feel that if I want to kill you, old man, I'm afraid you will die when we meet... This is your territory. Although it is a bit bitter and cold, at least you are just living according to your instinct. We have nothing to do No grudges, it's still rude to say that the old way, in order to avoid the rain, I had to come to your house to take shelter. So... Don't worry, you and your child, the old way will not move... After all, the old way is not someone who likes to kill indiscriminately Innocent people, just rest assured."

"..."

The woman said nothing, but remained vigilant.

Seeing this, Wuyu shook his head regretfully, took a stone bowl and blew the hot air on it, and tasted it...

"Tsk, sure enough...it tastes bad when it gets damp."

He looked sorry.

After thinking about it, he simply took out the bamboo tube and threw it in front of the woman.

"I won't tell you the name of the tea produced in the Jiangnan side of the human race. I guess you don't understand it. Let it be an apology from the old way. And you children look cute. If they are placed in Jiangnan, I'm afraid Not only how many women would spend thousands of dollars to fight for one?... Hey, you don’t understand. You, a little demon who can only survive in the wilderness, although you have changed your shape by chance, you should also learn from it. Don’t know the official language of our human race... that’s all.”

Talking to himself, the speechless old man picked up the teacup again and looked at the dark sky outside the cave.

The sky was pitch black.

But his pupils seemed to have passed through the sky, seeing an unknown distance.

For a long time, the hailstorm continued.

He murmured:
"Why...you don't welcome poor people so much? This time it's hail, what's the next time? You won't... use thunder to strike you? You old monster dragon who can't live but can't die..."
