The next morning, the men who were sleeping soundly in bed were suddenly awakened by a burst of noise.
There were voices, screams, laughter, and even the roars of familiar beasts among the noise.
The men struggled to get out of bed, put on their clothes and walked out of the house.
But I saw old people, women, and children gathered in the village chattering non-stop, while the howls of animals kept coming from all around the village.
Seeing the young men getting up, Peter Qi said to them excitedly: "Quick, quick!"
A man walked up and asked doubtfully: "Prayer, what's wrong?"
"Did a wild beast break into the village?" another man said.
Suddenly the men present became nervous and went back to get their bows, arrows and wooden guns. Peter quickly stopped them and said, "Take the rope and follow me to the outside of the village."
The men were a little confused, but they still went home to get the rope and followed Peter to the outside of the village.
When the men followed Peter to the outside of the village and saw the scene outside the village, they were stunned.
I saw that the traps they set last night were already full of prey.
¡°In those pits more than one meter deep, there are either wild boars weighing more than 100 kilograms, or elk, or wild sheep.
¡°And those ¡®rope¡¯ traps were tied with pheasants, rabbits, deer, green deer
The thirty or forty traps surrounding the village were all loaded with prey, and none of them failed.
"This must be the divine power of the God King." A man said with shock on his face.
When Qi Bo heard this, he suddenly remembered, "Where is the young master?"
The men around him reacted and looked towards the village.
?? Qibo turned around and ran into the village, came to his yard, came to Zhang Daoling and Yansheng's room and called out: "Young Master? Sir?"
"Master?"
"gentlemen?"
Peter Qi called several times, but there was no response from anyone in the house.
Peter Qi was a little confused, so he stepped forward and opened Zhang Daoling's door. The door opened, but there was no one inside.
"This" Peter Qi turned around and asked everyone, "Who has seen the young master and sir?"
At this time, a child ran over and said: "I know, the young master and the husband got up very early. When I was peeing early in the morning, I saw the two of them going outside the village."
"What?" Qi Bo walked up and asked the child, "Going outside the village?"
The child nodded and said, "Yes, that young master said that these prey were given to our village by him on behalf of the Lord God, and he also told us not to forget what he said."
"Don't forget what he said?" Upon hearing this, Peter Qi suddenly heard that Zhang Daoling seemed to have said that he asked them to help find people from the land of Tianhan and go to Suishan to worship the god.
?? Qi Bo hurriedly chased out of the village, only to find that the two horses that Zhang Daoling and Yansheng had brought earlier were also missing. It was obvious that Zhang Daoling and Yansheng had been gone for a long time.
?? Qibo looked at the place where the horse had been tied before, listening to the howls of the prey in his ears. After a long time, he knelt down in the direction of Suishan.
When the villagers behind him saw this, they also shouted and knelt on the ground
Zhang Daoling and Yansheng went all the way north, and encountered eight more villages like Qi Bo and others on the road of more than 400 miles.
It is even worse in these villages. In one village, the women and children are not fully clothed, and all the fabrics are used to make clothes for the men.
This is not to say that this village oppresses women and children, but because men are responsible for the survival of the entire village.
Farming, hunting, finding food, repairing houses, etc., all work must be done by men.
Just like in Qibo¡¯s village, food is given priority to young adults and pregnant women.
Having walked more than five hundred miles and visited more than a dozen villages, I was already frowning in disgust and felt very heavy in my heart.
How should we govern the land of Tianhan like this and the people of Tianhan who are in such hardship?
Zhang Daoling kept the conditions of all the villages in mind along the way, and what he was thinking about was naturally different from that of hating decline.
To govern the people, the first thing is to strengthen the people. Strengthening the people is not only spiritual, but also material.
The people of Tianhan are already very strong mentally, otherwise they would not be able to persist in such a difficult place for so many years.
But physically, they are too weak.
The root cause is nothing more than the following:
First, the land of Tianhan is not easy to cultivate because there are too many swamps.
Second, the people of Tianhan did not know how to farm because they did not have the guidance of the calendar.
Third, Tianhan¡¯s resources are exhausted and it is extremely difficult to communicate with the outside world.
All of the above have restricted the development of Tianhan, and the people of Tianhan have become increasingly poor.
¡°There seem to be very few birds and animals along this way.¡± Zhang Daoling said to Yansheng.
Yansheng nodded and said, "My subordinates have also noticed this problem. We rarely encounter wild beasts and birds along the way."
Zhang Daoling said: "That day when I used magic to drive the wild beasts into the trap outside the village, those wild beasts had to run all night before arriving outside the village. This is enough to show that the number of wild beasts and birds in the land of Tianhan is also declining sharply."
Yansheng said with a solemn expression: "So, the situation in Tianhan Land is getting worse?"
"That's right." Zhang Daoling nodded and said.
At this moment, Yansheng suddenly raised his head, frowned and looked at the surrounding swamp and said, "What does it smell like?"
Zhang Daoling smelled the stench in the air and looked to the left, "It's the stench of corpses."
"Someone died?" Hearing this, Yansheng's eyes began to search around.
Zhang Daoling said to him: "It's not here, come with me."
With that said, Zhang Daoling led the horse in front, stepping on the soft soil and entering a relatively dry area.
As soon as he entered this area, the stench became stronger and stronger, and Yansheng started to retch.
Unable to bear it anymore, he tore off a piece of cloth from the horse's baggage and covered his mouth and nose, but it was still difficult to block out the stench.
The two continued to go deeper, and finally saw a large area of ??collapsed fences and earth walls in front of them. It looked like it was actually a village.
Yansheng glanced at Zhang Daoling, but saw that he had already walked over.
Yansheng also quickly followed. The two bypassed the collapsed earth walls and fences and entered the village.
The next moment, the situation in this village made Yan Sheng's hair stand on end. His stomach was so upset that he vomited it out on the spot.
In the village in front of me, I saw rotting corpses lying everywhere on the ground.
Some of these corpses died against the wall, some fell on the threshold and died, and some fell to the ground and died.
None of these corpses had faces visible, because there were only rotting maggots squirming on their faces.
Old people, women, children and even a pregnant woman. When Zhang Daoling saw the body of the pregnant woman, his face changed slightly.
He grabbed Yansheng and said, "Quickly retreat."
The next moment, there was just a 'bang' sound, and the bulging belly of the pregnant woman's corpse exploded instantly, and corpse water, baby corpse, blood, and internal organs were immediately scattered everywhere.
¡®vomit¡¯ Yansheng turned around and vomited until he was in a daze. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
