Along the way, the river section we passed was in the suburbs of Yuanyang, and there were basically no zombies along the way.
Just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean it doesn't exist. No matter how clean this thing is, you won't know where it will come from.
Therefore, the palace still set up military vehicles everywhere, allowing them to clean up the zombies on their patrols and collect leftover materials everywhere.
Liu Enfu and his two men led the fleet forward. After they left the outskirts of Yuanyang, the number of zombies along the way gradually began to increase.
Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the commotion of zombies on both sides of the Bahe River, Liu Enfu's expression became more and more serious.
At this moment, Wang Zong came over and asked immediately: "What are your plans to capture Tongchang County?"
"What else can I do? Find a city gate with the fewest monsters, break through, close the gate, and then clean it up step by step!"
This is the house that Liu Enfu got after consulting Xu Yu. It is simple, crude and effective, and everything is supported by strength.
Time gradually passed, and after the sun gradually rose, it slowly set towards the west.
When the sun was about to set, the fleet arrived at the tributary where Shuigou Village was located, and it was time for Meng Hai and his two men to disembark.
When disembarking from the ship, Meng Hai bowed respectfully to Liu Enfu and Wang Zong, and then said: "Two adults, we and I will investigate the situation of the villages and towns south of Tongchang!"
"That's very good. Take care along the way!" Liu Enfu said solemnly.
After saying goodbye, Meng and Hai got on the boat and rowed into a tributary of the Bahe River.
This tributary leads directly to Shuigou Village, where their relatives are all.
"Brother Meng, you also promised the palace to find out the situation in the villages and towns south of Tongchang?" Mashan asked with a surprised look on his face.
This is not a good job, and there is even a risk of death.
"I'm going to do this alone, you don't have to take risks with me!" Meng Hai said seriously.
He originally wanted to argue, but when Meng Hai said these words, Mashan became even more unhappy.
"Brother Meng, what do you mean by this? Am I someone who ignores my brothers and is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Having said this, he immediately said with a straight face: "I'm determined to get involved in the job you took on!"
Meng Hai smiled and said, "You have to think clearly whether you want to take risks with me!"
"Anyway, my whole family owes you a few lives. I'll give you one back when I'm about to die!" Mashan said, holding his pennies.
Meng Hai didn't say much. He felt that this life was enough to have such a brother who would accompany him through life and death.
The two rowed to the depths, and Meng Hai couldn't help but said: "Actually, this matter is not all without benefits!"
"What's the benefit?"
"If we really want to accomplish this, we will have to make great contributions. Joining the army will be of great benefit in the future, and maybe we can even get an official position!" Meng Hai said frankly.
Mashan nodded. After staying in Yuanyang City for this period of time, he had seen many things about being rewarded for merit.
"Perhaps, it's possible to be given divine martial power!" Mashan chuckled.
Meng Hai said: "If you join the Guards Department, you will naturally be rewarded, but if you join the Soldiers and Horses Department... it will be difficult!"
In this way, the two of them were rowing and chatting, getting closer and closer to Shuigou Village.
Sailing against the current, their speed was much slower, and the river was blocked from time to time, which greatly slowed down their progress.
Looking at the dark situation ahead, Ma Shan couldn't help but said: "Brother, look like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to arrive tonight!"
"I didn't expect that in just over a month, the river would become so difficult to navigate!" Meng Hai also complained.
There is no other way at this moment but to take the boat slowly, which is slower but safer than taking the land route.
In fact, they have to make as little noise as possible. If they attract a lot of zombies, things will be really troublesome.
…………
The stars are bright, the moon is bright in the sky, and the night is silent.
Time passed, and when the sun rose the next day, Shuigou Village resumed its bustle during the day.
During this time, in order to ensure the survival of the people in the village, they made careful plans and harvested as much food as possible.
During this process, it was inevitable to fight zombies, so the villagers also suffered casualties.
But heroes also emerged in the eyes of the villagers, such as Zhang Yang who led the villagers to have a good harvest.
Being able to work with Meng Hai and overcome many difficulties to reach Shuigou Village, Zhang Yang is certainly not an ordinary person.
Now that he has a good reputation in the village, he naturally has the right to speak.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yang got up from bed, urged the young men in the village to work, and took out the collected grain to dry in the sun.
"Don't be idle. After these days of busy work, we can all take a few days of rest!"
"With this food, we can get through this year. If we plant food next spring, we will never be short of food again!"
In the drying field of Shuigou Village, Zhang Yang kept talking, and no one among the dozens of young men present could refute.
Just when Zhang Yang thought it was another ordinary day, he remembered the noise not far away.
At this time, someone asked: "Brother Zhang, is it a monster rushing over?"
Hearing this, the young men present stopped what they were doing and became nervous.
"Don't panic, grab the guy and let's go out and take a look!" Zhang Yang said gloomily.
They quickly rushed to the entrance of the village. At the gate of the village, Meng Hai and Mashan were asking about the situation in the village.
In fact, after this period of time, most people in the village thought they were dead.
But now Meng Hai has not only come back, but also brought good news. Yuanyang City has indeed not fallen yet.
"Brother Meng, are there still officials in Yuanyang? Were they not attacked by monsters?"
"Brother Meng, why have you been gone for so long? We all thought something happened to you!"
Originally wanting to ask about the situation in the village, Meng Hai was blocked by a series of questions. After explaining one question, the next one immediately popped up.
At this moment, a surprised voice was heard from outside the crowd: "Brother Meng... is that you?"
This voice was very familiar to Meng Hai, so he turned around and saw Zhang Yang standing outside the crowd.
"It can't be us? You kid, don't you think that we are dead?" Mashan said carelessly and made a joke that was not funny.
"Brother Ma, what are you talking about? I have been looking forward to your return!" Zhang Yang stepped forward with a smile.
Behind him, there were more than thirty young men holding sticks. It seemed that these people were listening to Zhang Yang.
"Brother Zhang, how are you doing during this time?" Meng Hai asked with a smile.
Zhang Yang stepped forward, nodded and said, "It's not bad. I recently took the people in the village to collect the food outside the village. At least I won't have to worry about filling my stomach in the future!"
This was Zhang Yang's display of merit, and he didn't know why he would emphasize in front of everyone that he was the leader at this time.
Meng Hai nodded, then glanced at the crowd and said, "Everyone, Yuanyang City has not fallen. There is a powerful army under the jurisdiction of the palace. Now the army has been sent to Tongchang by the prince!"
"When Tongchang is regained, we can move there and live there. Then we won't have to worry about food and accommodation, and we won't have to worry about monster attacks anymore!"
