I walk in the world of heaven

Chapter 353 The Wind Is Gentle Today

The mighty army of thousands of people was walking on the way to the country of Kaga, Xiao Zhi rode a horse and walked in the middle of the team, and Jiang Chuan Hezi rode another smaller horse beside him...

There are many mountains in the island country, and they can be seen everywhere, but the transportation creatures like horses are very rare, very simple, few people can eat enough, who can care about the animals every day.

In order to fight against the famine that may come at any time, there is a terrible tradition in remote mountain villages, that is, if the old man lives to be 60 years old, his son must carry him to the highest mountain nearby to let him live on his own off...

For the elderly, this kind of practice is no different from sending them to death, because there are many poisonous insects and beasts on the mountain, and anyone who comes here can kill them, the same goes for wind, rain, ice and snow.

If the old man lives to be 60 years old and does not die, he will become a disgrace in the village. He will be cast aside, insulted, and called a rice bug that wastes food.If he is too old to go up the mountain, the prestigious people in the village will force his son to tie the old man up on his back, choose a steep cliff and throw him to death.

In order to save food, it is not uncommon for this kind of village to exist, and there are even other villages that are even more cruel. If we go on, it would be 404 in the real world.

Jiangchuan Hezi was born in this sad age. She has lived a long time and seen many things. Bi Caimiao has more say than everyone here. Animals have always been animals, but humans will not always be humans...

During the march of the army, in order to relieve Xiao Zhi's boredom, Jiang Chuan Hezi specially told a lot about what he saw and heard about this era, which made Xiao Zhi's scalp tingle.Probably feeling that Xiao Zhi didn't like this kind of information, Jiang Chuan Hezi consciously didn't continue talking...

Xiao Zhi grabbed the rope, his eyes fell on Jiang Chuan Hezi's face, it is no accident that this girl can live till now.

He suddenly felt dazed...

Jiangchuan Hezi was very serious about riding a horse, and she looked straight into the distance.

The wind blows her long hair fluttering in the air, with a faint smile on her face all the time, but the light in the depths of her eyes made the viewer couldn't help but let out a faint sigh from the bottom of her heart. It can't be said whether it's sadness or something else, maybe it's just Just sympathize...

She seemed to be feeling something and turned her head, stretched out her hand to brush her hair, and tidied it behind her ears: "What are you looking at?" Ever since Xiao Zhi forbade her and Cai Miao to call herself "Xiao Zhijun", she stopped talking Then there is a sense of distance.

Xiao Zhi scratched his cheek and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the wind today is unexpectedly gentle..."

Jiang Chuan Hezi was taken aback, Iron Steel Xiaozhi would say such words, she tried to feel the "gentleness" in the wind, but she could only smell grass, trees, soil... and the smell of bones on the side of the road.At this time, Jiangchuan Anshengwan, who was in the swaddling clothes behind his back, suddenly struggled, and the loud cry resounded through the wilderness, endlessly.

She hastily took out the misty porridge in the gourd and fed the child, because he was too young to eat many things, even the rice porridge should not be too thick so as not to choke his throat.Holding the child with a hint of warmth, she felt as if she had become a real mother, and Xiao Zhi was the father, taking care of her child...

In the army, there were a few small soldiers chirping and whispering.

They knew that Xiao Zhi and Xiao Zhi had a child with them, but at first they were instinctively afraid of their superiors and dared not talk nonsense, but after leaving the city for a few days, they gradually felt that Xiao Zhi was really a good leader.Talk to everyone in a friendly manner, with a smile on your face, not only that, but also on time, and give each soldier two copper coins every day as a reward for going out...

It's just very puzzling, with a thousand-strong army, each of them has two copper coins, so the total is two thousand copper coins. It's not a small amount to pile up these things and put them in the package.

But every day Xiao Zhi would take out handfuls of copper coins from the cloth bag on his body and distribute them to everyone, as if they were inexhaustible. When the army set up camp at night, many people speculated that it might be some kind of magical Baby, for example, the energy keeps making money...

Gradually someone wanted to make an idea of ​​the package.

After all, if they had this inexhaustible money, they would be able to live a daimyo-like life in no time. In the days of war, if you eat today, you may die tomorrow. Whoever wants to go will go.

Now Jiang Chuan An Sheng Wan's loud cry made those light-footed soldiers with ulterior motives have the courage to take women and children to the battlefield. Who would have any brains to do this? I guess this Jiang Chuan Xiao Zhi is just a lucky idiot, that's all. Want to spend some money to get addicted to generals...

Cai Miao leaned on Xiao Zhi's shoulder and whispered: "Those bastards are spreading rumors again. Do you want to bury them? The wilderness here is very suitable for burial. It doesn't matter if there are fewer people. You can spend less time looking for food."

For a team of thousands of people, Xiao Zhi only provided money but not food. When the soldiers who got the money passed by the village or other territories, they could choose to buy dry food for themselves, or they could go hunting to find other grass roots and bark to eat.But every time I stop to collect food, it takes at least two days, which really slows down the journey.

Xiao Zhi also wanted to shorten it, but he couldn't change the food. Although those lords can sell food, it is not unlimited. Otherwise, there will be only money but no food in the warehouse, and it will be a dead end...

He patted Cai Miao's head lightly: "It's okay, it's normal to have greed, I need someone now, and they can get a chance of redemption if they can turn around a second before they do it." Speaking of redemption , he has completed two-thirds of this mission.

Because inadvertently saving the daimyo in the castle can be regarded as saving a human being who was sacrificed to a monster.

Xiao Zhi understands it literally, being sacrificed, these three words are more serious, the name should not be counted in "being sacrificed", but the sound effect reminds him that he has completed a certain amount, which is a bit puzzling.Maybe it's because the daimyo's identity is more important, otherwise he would have saved a few villagers who were chased by monsters along the way, and the mission should have been completed long ago.

The team was mighty, and ordinary people and robbers passing by were like gods of plague. Such a large-scale army was probably going to destroy another country. They didn't want to be ghosts on the way of the army.

It was morning time.

The sun became more intense near noon. Xiao Zhi felt that An Shengwan might get sick and suffer from heat stroke under the scorching sun, so he specially ordered the army to find a shady place to rest, and planned to wait until the afternoon sun was weaker before moving on.He tied the horse under the big tree, took the map to compare the trend of the nearby mountains, nodded, the distance was very close, and it should be the border of Kaga Kingdom now...

Cai Miao suddenly stood upright and looked into the distance: "There is a monster's breath, approaching at a very fast speed!"

The wilderness is overgrown with grass and trees, and the weeds even reach people's waists. Xiao Zhi didn't see a monster, but saw a long trail that was pushed away by something in the distance, and something walked through it. ...
