Doomsday simulator, I prove extraordinary with swordsmanship
Chapter 1234 Entering Winter
It was already winter in Lianshan, and a group of people trekked in the forest, but from a distance, they could see the fire coming from the mountainside in the distance.
The long journey had already made Feng Shi very tired, but after seeing the flame like a torch, he was like fighting chicken blood, and his vision for the future immediately suppressed the double fatigue of body and spirit.
Feng Shi is an out-and-out mountain dweller. His ancestors moved into the mountains to avoid disasters, and barely took root in the mountains. When he first entered the mountains, there were more than a hundred people with the surname Feng. For the sake of reason, there are only a few dozen people.
The stockade he was in was named Qingmu Village. It was named after a green tree that grew nearly a thousand years in the center of the stockade.
A long time ago, Qingmu Village was also glorious, just like Lianyun Village, it was a large village, and every year, or every one or two years, there would be merchants from outside who would travel thousands of miles to trade with the village.
But in the future, time passed, natural disasters and man-made disasters caused Qingmu Village to decline, and in the future, merchants stopped coming because of the lack of profits.
By the time of Feng Shi's generation, there were only two hundred people in the entire village, and most of them were elderly people, with fewer young adults and children.
Among them, children are the least. As mountain people, it is not surprising for a couple to give birth to more than ten children in twenty years. However, the environment in the mountains is harsh, and the child's death rate is extremely high. Often, a dozen children will succeed in the end. There are only three to five people who can start working when they grow up to be more than ten years old.
Among them, especially girls, are more likely to die young.
It's not that the mountain people will abuse their daughters, but that in the harsh environment, boys are born with stronger physiques and it is easier to survive.
In fact, in the mountains, daughters are very precious, and there are usually intermarriages between villages, that is, if one village marries a daughter, another village must also marry a daughter.
Although such a rule is backward and cruel, and it can even be said that it treats people as objects, it is also the way of survival for the village.
But that's the only way to keep the village alive.
And if there is no daughter in the village that can be exchanged with other villages, the only way for the village to survive is to spend a lot of money to buy a daughter-in-law from a merchant.
As for if there is neither a daughter nor enough money, the village will naturally perish after a long time.
Lianshanbaizhai has formed a fragile and stable ecology over the long years, fully demonstrating the law of survival of the fittest.
Those young and strong who can't marry a wife have only two paths, either perish from then on, or go out of the mountains with the merchants.
As for the Xiaoju mountain forest, turned into bandits, and plundered other villages, this will attract all villages to attack together!
Qingmu Village is currently in such a situation.
There are fewer and fewer girls in the village, young and strong can't get a wife at all, and the people brought by the merchants are too expensive.
As for going out, it is also a big gamble.
Even if the world is peaceful and prosperous outside, if a mountain dweller without household registration wants to survive outside, even if he tries his best, it may not be possible.
This is even more true in troubled times.
Therefore, when the legend of Great General Yingtian gradually spread in Lianshan Baizhai, those large villages were nothing more than that, but the young and strong in the villages that were already on the verge of extinction were extremely excited.
As a group of mountain people, there is no lack of survival wisdom, and they have the shrewdness unique to mountain people, but in other places, their ideas are also very simple.
That is, the outside world is unfamiliar, but General Yingtian is different. When various legends and stories spread and become the topic of conversation after dinner, after a little longer, they will naturally no longer be unfamiliar.
Especially knowing that when Ying Tianjun was recruiting troops, many young men who couldn't get married were moved.
It’s just that the distance between the villages is long and the mountain roads are difficult. In addition, when recruiting soldiers, the recruiters have to record the conditions of the young and strong families, and the recruiters only recruit people from the village. This discouraged many mountain people and went directly to the village. The idea of joining the army.
Undoubtedly, things that are difficult to obtain are more likely to make people dream about them day and night. The young people in the village, in this situation where they can't ask for it temporarily, in their fantasy, will continue to make up their minds about their glorious future after joining the army. .
This is the case with Feng Shi. He was born with a bit of bravery. When he was twelve years old, he started hunting alone. Also gradually honed out.
Right now, within twenty steps, there are few targets that he cannot hit.
More importantly, although he can't write, he has a little culture. When he was seven or eight years old, a Taoist came to the village. The Taoist lived in the village for a while. He was very popular with Taoists, so the Taoist gave him He told a lot of stories and taught him how to judge something through the environment.
This makes his follow-up, whether it is farming or hunting, far better than ordinary mountain people.
Now he is only sixteen years old, give him another ten years, then it will not be difficult to save enough money to buy a wife.
Before General Yingtian appeared, saving money to marry a wife was his goal in life.
But now, his thinking is completely different.
Accompanied by the legendary story of General Yingtian, there is also the wonderful world outside, picturesque mountains and rivers, worshiping ministers and enfeoffing princes, rich clothes and fine food, beautiful married couples like flowers...
This is the reason why many mountain people choose to join the army despite their stable lives.
Everyone knows that war is dangerous, and a single carelessness may lose one's life, but after knowing the outside world, the longing in the heart can no longer be restrained.
Feng Shi is like this.
He thinks that he is not inferior to any mountain people. Whether it is hard work, bravery, character, or ability, he is not bad in everything. As long as he joins the army, with his own ability, he will definitely be able to stand out quickly.
In addition, the legendary story of General Yingtian also gave him strong confidence.
That is the descending of the gods, even the two emperors, Chidi and Baidi, agree with each other, and even in some villages, their ancestors, for the sake of the future of their descendants, did not hesitate to offend ghosts and gods, so that they would not have peace after death. To warn future generations, let them seize the opportunity.
Of course, the more important thing is that General Yingtian has indeed displayed extraordinary miraculous powers.
It turned out that the great general was trapped in the mountains. Before he lacked military supplies, some mountain gods drove wild beasts to be hunted down by Ying Tian's army. In the end, there were too many beasts to eat, and they piled up into mountains.
Later, the general burned wasteland to cultivate the land, and God also gave the dew, which directly increased the grain produced by one mu of land by ten times.
