Behind me is the earth

From that day on, Ren Pingsheng took Xiaowan to the homes of some familiar villagers in the village to say goodbye for two days in a row, bringing some small gifts.

In the meantime, Ren Pingsheng returned to Earth again and brought back the steel crossbow and Hengdao sent by Viagra.

November 13th of the lunar calendar is a good time to travel and move.

Ren Pingsheng took Xiaowan, Dachui, Liu Qiang, Lao Liu, Liu Shu, as well as bodyguard Liu Shicheng and his two men to gather in front of the village gate.

The village chief and dozens of villagers gathered here to see Ren Pingsheng and others off.

After saying goodbye to each other one by one, the group of nine people set foot on the road to Qingcheng Town.

Sledgehammer is still able to carry a huge travel bag with ease. In his hand, he was still dancing the 36-pound iron rod given to him by Ren Pingsheng.

The two ends of this iron rod were covered with brass, similar to Sun Wukong's golden cudgel. It also had anti-slip dark patterns on it. Originally, Ren Pingsheng used it for self-defense, but his strength obviously did not match this iron rod.

Put it in the hand of the sledgehammer, but it dances like a tiger with wind, so fun!

The stick was struck with the force of a sledgehammer, and even the tigers in the mountains, let alone the slow living corpses, would probably be hit with their brains splattered.

Liu Qiang and Lao Liu couldn't put it down, playing with the steel crossbows in their hands and the horizontal swords on their backs.

In the past, Liu Qiang and Lao Liu had become extremely jealous when they saw Ren Pingsheng's steel crossbow!

Now, Ren Pingsheng actually gave each of them a steel crossbow, as well as the horizontal knife on his back, which was even more powerful. It could blow hair, break hair, and chop iron like mud. It was definitely a magic weapon and a priceless treasure!

If they sell it for money, they feel that they may not be able to spend it all in their lifetime!

This was the kindness of knowing someone, and they couldn't help but immediately go into battle to kill the enemy in order to repay their benefactor.

Looking at the steel crossbow sword and the iron rod in Chen Dachui's hand, Liu Shicheng and the other two men in the escort were envious and wanted to take possession of it.

"Woof! Woof! Roar~~roar~~"

The barking of the dog attracted everyone's attention.

Several dogs on the roadside bared their teeth and growled low as they looked at everyone. Their fierce eyes looked more like wolves than dogs.

There were two corpses on the roadside, with bones chewed out of their calves.

I don’t know if it was chewed by humans, living corpses, or the animals in front of me.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several dogs that overestimated their capabilities were directly nailed to death by arrows fired from steel crossbows.

Lao Liu drew out the horizontal knife on his back to defend himself, walked to the roadside and took back the crossbow arrow stuck in the dog's body.

"In the past few years, there have been severe colds and floods. Winters have become increasingly colder. We don't know how many people have died from natural disasters and man-made disasters."

Liu Qiang sighed as he looked at the corpse on the side of the road that had its intestines and intestines removed. He could not help but hurt others.

Everyone was on the road again. When they were approaching the tea stall in Xiaowang Village, they suddenly heard a "rumbling" vibration on the road.

As they gave way to the road, they soon saw a group of a dozen soldiers on horseback running wildly from a distance.

They wore armor, held long knives, and had double muskets at their waists. There was faint traces of blood on the blade. There were only a dozen riders, and the evil spirit was wanton. The hoofs hit the ground, and a shocking momentum broke out!

When they crossed paths, the leader glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

But within a moment, more than a dozen riders had roared past, leaving only dust flying, making it difficult to see.

"People from the Imperial City Guard!"

Liu Shicheng said with narrowed eyes.

"Imperial City Guard?"

When Ren Pingsheng heard the new name, he couldn't help but ask questions.

"In addition to the imperial soldiers and frontier soldiers, there are also three major guards, Xiaolongsi, Nanyang Guard and Imperial City Guard, which are under the direct control of the palace.

The Imperial City Guard has the right to defend the imperial power and supervise all officials. It belongs to a privileged organization along with the three Davids. The flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, and flint-haired short spear are all standard equipment of the Imperial City Guard.

However, in the past, the cleaning work of this official road was maintained and cleaned by territorial officers and local soldiers. The Imperial City Guard appeared here, and it seemed that he was still cleaning up the dead and living corpses on the road. This was not the case in the past. Common. "

Liu Shicheng explained: "It seems that there are not enough soldiers and servants, otherwise these uncle soldiers would not come to do these things."

The team continues on its way.

As we were approaching Qingcheng Town, there were more hungry people on the road.

The crops in Beiwan Province failed, rebellions broke out, and thieves attacked the officers and soldiers. You chased me and fought. The thieves passed by like combs, and the soldiers passed by like grates. The people who could not survive had no choice but to leave. At least this winter, the refugees on this road will not decreased.

In order to divert and divert the flow of refugees and prevent the formation of new rebellions, the province ordered all the cities along the way to provide disaster relief. Wherever one is close to a city, there will be no shortage of refugees. It has become a "scenery" that is either pitiable or disgusting.

"Son!"

When it came to the people's mouth, there was a cry - even this cry was not very loud, and it was painful to cry.

The woman was holding the head of a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, and next to her was a little girl of eight or nine years old, kneeling on the ground holding a small gourd, trying to give the boy a drink of water.

The young man had his teeth clenched, his complexion was ashen, his body was stiff, and he looked like a mummy.

The large group of refugees in front of them had already left them. If they didn't catch up, they would have no one to support them, and they would probably freeze to death or starve to death on the roadside sooner or later.

"Lao Liu."

Ren Pingsheng shouted and pointed at the mother and son.

Lao Liu nodded and walked to the three people: "Let me take a look."

In the expectation of both the woman and the child, Lao Liu touched the young man's neck, then took off his fur coat and put it on the young man's body.

"Sir, I'm still angry, but I'm freezing."

Lao Liu turned around and shouted.

"Take it with you."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the woman knew that she had met a noble person today and knelt down to kowtow.

The girl also quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

Lao Liu handed the Hengdao to Liu Qiang and carried the giddy young man on his back.

The woman pulled Xiao Ni to follow the team.

"Escaped?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Master, I came from Beiwan. There were originally a family of seven, but only my mother and three were left. If my son is gone, I don't know how to go with my boss even if I die. Say, I, I thank you, sir.

From now on, the lives of me, Er Niu, and Xiao Cui'er will be sold to you. Sir, please don't despise us. We are strong and know how to farm. If we can plow the land for you, I will still know how to do it. I can cook, weave, store shoes, and cut paper..."

The woman knew that the person in front of her was the one who made the decision. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they must be from a wealthy family.

If abandoned by them, the mother and son would be left with nothing but death. Naturally, this thigh would try its best to hold on to it.

After hearing the woman's answer and the level of speaking, she knew that she was an ordinary family and should not cause any trouble.

There is strength in numbers, and it is the time to employ people anyway. It is easier to control a family of women and children, so he nodded and said: "You can follow me from now on. What is your name?"

"Sun Qiaomei, if you don't think it sounds good, just give me a different name."

Sun Qiaomei said quickly.

"fine."

Ren Pingsheng looked ahead, and the group had arrived at Qingcheng Town.
