Wynn was wondering how these people survived and why they didn't go elsewhere. Later, he found a local and learned that this small town called Yanbian turned out to be a business center, and people from all Yi tribes had their own villages.
The special products here are used to trade with the Han people, but I don’t know why some strange disasters always happen here. Sometimes people will be struck by lightning while walking in the city, and sometimes the family will have a good meal.
Over time, everyone said that this place was haunted by evil spirits. The businessmen were scared away, and the people were also scared away. Only some families with local real estate were left. At first, they were reluctant to leave their things.
Later, some people wanted to leave but couldn't because they were so hungry that they couldn't walk anymore~~
These individuals relied on the kindness of passing merchants and pedestrians to survive, and then went to dig some wild vegetables in the fields and grow some sweet potatoes and other high-quality products in a few acres of thin fields to survive. At first, they could barely keep their stomachs full, but later on
The yield of sweet potatoes planted is getting less and less~~ Those weird natural disasters are still continuing. Yesterday, another old woman was struck to death by lightning on the street.
Suddenly the woman made a loud grunting sound. Seeing her haggard appearance, Wynn quickly asked Konoe to get her some food and went back.
Red Crow frowned: "I've seen it, there are less than two thousand residents here, most of them are women and old people. There is no food at all. No wonder no one is stationed here~~~ Let's leave as soon as possible
here."
Wynn saw that it was raining outside and the roads were muddy. Even if he wanted to leave, it would be a few days later.
Suddenly there was a scream from outside! A young woman with an earth-colored face was running wildly in the rain. Wynn and his guards stopped her. She could not help but tremble and kept saying: "They are all dead."
, they’re all dead, they’re all dead~~.”~
Wynn took her to her home and saw an old woman with a green complexion lying on her back on the kang. There was also a two or three-year-old child on the ground in the same situation. There were several bowls on the table.
There were a few strange-shaped sweet potatoes inside.
The woman burst into tears when she saw the bodies of her child and mother-in-law.
Her heartbroken cries could still be heard even a long way away. With a solemn expression, Wynn said to a guard: "Pass my order and you are not allowed to pick anything for consumption locally!"
On the way back, I saw large pits all over the city. According to the locals, they were struck by lightning from heaven.
He carefully looked into the pit and found something shiny at the bottom of the pit. At this moment, he felt something strange in the sky above him. He raised his head.
He saw a bolt of lightning falling from the sky, and he instinctively stepped back! The lightning almost hit him! He quickly greeted everyone around and quickly returned to the house.
After the rain stopped, he went to visit the place where the lightning struck, and found that more and more shiny things were exposed in the big pit. He ordered his men to go down and dig with a marching shovel. After a while,
A large piece of jet black and shiny stuff was exposed! Wynn had seen that thing in his hometown, it was iron ore! No wonder there are always natural disasters like lightning strikes here!
He held an iron stone knocked out of the pit in his hand and looked at it carefully. He found that the iron ore had an excellent texture and was extremely hard! He tried to chop it off with his sword, but the stone was not damaged at all!
My own sword has lost its edge!
Great! This seems to be a very large concentrated iron ore! And it is very close to the ground and very easy to mine! These people actually guard the treasure and suffer poverty! It is really dumbfounding! Wynn tried his best to suppress his inner excitement: Look
No one knows this secret. I can secretly mine the iron ore here and sell it or make my own weapons~~~ This place has no village in front of it, no shop in the back, an isolated city in the desert. As long as I help these residents solve their food problem and hire
They even solved the miners' problem.
But what is the reason why the residents always die unexpectedly? A few days after Wynn's army arrived, they only ate the food they brought and were unscathed. It seems that the problem is still the food! But what the family ate
The local people were eating sweet potatoes, so why did only a few people die? With this question in mind, he came to the small piece of land where the locals grew sweet potatoes.
He carefully observed every detail on the land and found nothing strange. It was just that the sweet potato leaves on the last piece of land seemed to have been bitten by something. He knelt down and looked at the bitten sweet potato leaves.
It turned slightly black! His expression changed and he dug out the whole sweet potato, only to see that the sweet potato underneath was also starting to turn black. The red crow came up to take a look and said categorically: "This must have been bitten by a highly poisonous insect."
Sweet potatoes that are too old! You will die within an hour or three of eating them!"
Why are there any poisonous insects here? Wynn is puzzled.
"Sir, look!" Wu Chengjiao pointed his finger not far away, and saw an obvious crawl mark on the ground, extending along the sweet potato field into the grass in the distance.
Wynn ordered the guards to search in the grass. After a while, he suddenly heard a guard scream! A five or six-foot-long centipede jumped up from the grass! It tightened its grip with its terrifying front jaw.
He bit the guard's neck!
The other guards slashed away with their swords! The big centipede scurried into the waist-high grass and disappeared.
Wynn saw that the bitten guard's face was turning green and that he would not survive. He angrily ordered: "Burn it! See if it can come out!"
The guards set fire to the grass, and the grass suddenly burst into flames! A black shadow jumped up in the grass! Running around! At this time, Wynn ordered to release arrows, and a shower of arrows passed by, and the long shadow
After struggling in the fire for a while, he became motionless.
After the fire was extinguished, all the guards and some local residents gathered around, and saw a huge black centipede lying in the middle of the charred grass. It was as thick as a human thigh, and its head had a pair of front jaws slightly.
It was red, and its entire body was covered with a ring-shaped black and shiny hard shell! After being shot with bows and arrows and burned, it was still trembling slightly and refused to die. Wynn avoided the spear thrust of a guard next to him.
A few shots! The monster-like centipede turned up its white belly, twisted it a few times, spit out a big mouthful of green juice, and died reluctantly.
He said loudly to the local people behind him: "Folks! You no longer have to worry about being poisoned! Be careful when digging sweet potatoes in the future! Don't eat the black ones."
The common people gathered around without saying a word, punching and kicking the big centipede, and some used shovels and sticks to hit it. After a while, the body of the big centipede turned into meat paste————
Super disgusting meat sauce.
All the people knelt down in unison: "Sir, we will starve to death sooner or later if we stay here! Please take us all away!" After saying this, they all kowtowed their heads.
"Folks, it's not that I won't take you away. We soldiers are doing the job of licking blood on the tip of a knife. You can't do it. But don't be discouraged. I have decided to help people to the end! Save this city
Rebuild! I will regularly supply you with food, clothing, and other things you need! Do you know why there are always thunders in the city? It’s because there is something underground! Please help me dig out the underground things and take them away, and this place will last forever.
No more lightning will strike people! Of course, if you are a bad person, you will still be struck!" After Wynn finished speaking, he felt ashamed.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but they also felt confident that at least they no longer had to go hungry. A little girl with braids suddenly cried loudly in the bamboo basket behind her mother. It seemed that
She was so hungry. Her mother quickly coaxed her: "Don't cry, mommy will go home and cook sweet potatoes for you now~!"
Seeing this scene, Wynn and several generals felt very sad. Miss Liu looked at Wynn with tears in her eyes. Wynn lowered his head and thought about it, and finally made up his mind: "Leave some of the general's food for the local people!"
