Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"Yeah." Lin Shi didn't hear the other party's carelessness, but just sighed: "It's rare in the entire swamp to come back alive after encountering a blood spider? At least I've never heard of it before. .”

"But don't worry," Lin Shi explained to Lu Meng, "the two children have been back for a few days, and they haven't reacted at all. It should be because they don't have larvae on them - the village elder still locks them up, but it's just for It’s just insurance.”

"Yeah, yeah." Lu Meng agreed, feeling reassured about this.

When treating Ariel and Asheng, I had already checked them.

"Did you just say 'come back'?" Lu Meng seemed to mention casually, "Where were these two unlucky guys?"

"Uh..." Lin Shi was speechless for a moment.

It is not good to mention the matter of leading the way for outsiders in front of the gang.

But then again, the other party is also considered a big shot in the Stone Rat Group. If the whereabouts of those outside caravans are revealed, maybe it will be regarded as a great achievement?

"They just went hunting. The young man was playful and got sidetracked." Without much hesitation, Lin Shi lied.

"Well, that's it." Lu Meng tapped on the table and looked out the window.

Lin Shi lowered his eyes.

Judging from the tone, Master Beiyou was a bit noncommittal.

But looking at the way he nodded, he seemed to have believed his own words.

But the greater possibility is that people don't take this matter to heart at all.

Also, even when he heard that the villagers might be parasitized by blood spiders, this adult remained calm and showed no reaction.

Lin Shiwai has been stationed in Shishu Town for a long time and knows the urinal nature of those thugs.

How many gang members look at those who are arrogant and like to show off their power in front of their faces. When they are really in danger of losing their heads, if there is not a leader above them who is suppressing them, who will not shrink back and think about being the first to escape.

If such a person came to Huangshui Village and heard the news, they would probably have cursed and made excuses to run away quickly.

Lin Shi revealed the news with this in mind.

I want to send this person away quickly so as not to disturb everyone by staying here.

The result doesn't work at all.

Lin Shi realized more and more that with this courage, Beiyou's status in the Stone Rat Group must be high.

How could such a person care about a few little guys going out?

That is to say, it is polite and casual.

However, the more important the other party's identity was, the more nervous Lin Shi felt.

This means that the standards for entertaining him cannot be lower. If there is an omission that makes people dissatisfied and reports it to the gang, it will not be a good thing for the entire village.

"My lord, please rest first. The village will arrange a dinner to ensure your satisfaction."

It seems that the preparation for this banquet will cost a lot of money.

Lin Shi was about to withdraw, but was stopped by Lu Meng.

"There's no need for dinner. Find someone to bring some fresh ingredients over, and I'll start the cooking myself."

"Ah?" Lin Shi doubted his ears.

He had never heard a leader of the Stone Rat Group make such a request.

In Shishu Town, the cooks and cooks there were all recruited from various villages. The thugs did not bother to do such menial work as cooking.

"I've done this a lot in Shark Village." Lu Meng said in a serious tone and pointed at himself, "And if you look at me like this, do I look like someone who likes to eat? I can't get used to your food."

Looking at his thin face, Lin Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that he didn't like to eat, he was obviously starving to death.

Adults are quite picky.

But with this explanation, Lin Shi could understand it.

The other party is a member of the Stone Rat Regiment stationed in Shark Village. There are not many people who want to serve him. Some things really have to be done by oneself.

And it is said that further east, martial artists have a way of ascetic training.

They will try their best to torture their bodies in order to temper their spirits and will, and finally improve their bodies. It is said that it is called "toughness"...

This is a very high-level secret.

This northern journey of the Stone Rat Group probably followed the same path.

Coupled with the fact that he was very skilled with his bare hands... Lin Shi felt that he had guessed pretty well, and he was even more in awe at the moment.

Fortunately, the request made by the other party was not only easy to meet, but also relieved a lot of the burden on the village.

Lin Shi had no objection and breathed a sigh of relief.

He bowed and left, closing the door lightly.

This hut is a stilt-style hut with a building on the upper floor suspended on wooden piles, and the lower floor is generally unoccupied.

It was raining heavily at this moment, and the accumulated water gurgled under the house, like a small river.

Lin Shi wiped the rain off his face, only to see his little daughter Lin Ying wandering under the stairs, playing with her bare feet in the water, and she was soaked all over.

"My little ancestor!"

He hurriedly walked down the wooden ladder, picked up Xiaoying'er, and scolded: "I didn't tell you to go back to the house quickly to change clothes and warm up by the fire... I just know that it's terrible to get sick if you play outside!"

Looking at her father's frown, the little girl just chuckled and put the thing in his hand: "Here!"

Lin Shi opened his palm and saw that it was an open coin.

"This is not..." the swamp people were surprised.

He remembered that only Beiyou had thrown a Kai coin to his daughter.

"Didn't that adult ask you to buy candied fruits?" Lin Shi rubbed Xiao Ying'er's head, feeling complicated.

"Give it to daddy!" The little girl kept laughing and suddenly sneezed.

Lin Shi quickly covered his daughter with his own body and ran home to avoid the rain.

He pinched the coins and sighed inwardly.

But when he saw the coin clearly, he was stunned.

‘500... is there any money with this face value in the rent tax paid by the village this time? ’

Coins of five hundred denominations are also popular in the swamp, but most of them are concentrated in the hands of major gangs to facilitate savings and transactions.

How can ordinary people afford this when buying things?

If you really buy candied fruits and eat them, both sets of teeth will be decayed.

…

Lu Meng lowered the straw curtain to block the sound of rain outside the house.

He casually inspected it. The room was clean and tidy, with ordinary but complete furnishings. There was roasted firewood in the fire pit, mixed with one or two spice sticks, which could drive away mosquitoes after being lit.

The environment is really good.

Thinking that in this heavy rain, everyone in the caravan could only sleep in tents, while he was hiding in the warm hut of the swamp people, with others waiting on him... Lu Meng suddenly felt a little funny.

But he won't be able to stay here long.

And Rui En and others will come to join them soon, and then they will have a showdown with everyone in Huangshui Village.

As he saw, Huangshui Village seemed backward, but actually had a long history, and there might be some relics in the village that could be used.

It’s not that he favors the past over the present.

This is what the wasteland looks like.

The firewood slowly grew stronger, and the warmth gradually dissipated the cold and dampness in the room. Lu Meng's body became much more comfortable.

He opened his backpack, and several blood spiders of different sizes jumped out from it, scrambling to get out of the house.

Lu Meng lifted the insect mother, put it upside down on the table, and aimed a punch at its belly.

The blood spiders stopped immediately, gathered together again, climbed onto the small table, and looked like they were waiting for inspection.

"That's why you're obedient." Lu Meng patted the insect mother's belly and chuckled.

Off-topic complaint: I checked into the game and found that the data monsters in the swamp are the gatekeepers outside the swamp village. They are all like sword masters and are more powerful than the gang leaders - if not a little stronger. , in this land where monsters and monsters are rampant, if the player is not careful, the village may be slaughtered ()
