Chapter three hundred and eighty third
There was a kind of rotten smell floating in the air.
"Oh~"
When Yu Qianyu and his brother saw the scene in front of him, they looked depressed, and then accelerated their pace and moved forward more quickly.
In the past two years, the drought has become more and more severe, and the surrounding water sources have been exhausted. Even the wells in Shumu City have dried up long ago.
The water source in the city is limited. If you want to drink water, you have to carry a vessel and walk hundreds of miles, and transport it from the streams on the grassland. You have to pass through several powerful tribes on the way, and you may be doomed if you are not careful.
There are only one source of water that can be transported in a hundred, but there are many people in the city, and the city lord's mansion does not allow crowds to leave the city in large numbers. After a while, now in this city, water has become a luxury item, with no price, and no amount of it can be bought at all.
As a result, there are quite a lot of people in the city who die of thirst throughout the year.
As Chen Qian walked along the way, he could see many women and children kneeling on the ground with wooden basins, praying devoutly, but he couldn't understand the words. They were a dialect in the Western Regions.
These people looked dull and looked desperate, and ignored Chen Qian and others who had walked past him.
After walking a few more steps, the words that Chen Qian could understand came just in front of him. Although these words were strangely pronounced, they were undoubtedly Zhongzhou language—
"God, please open your eyes!"
"Let's rain next! Otherwise, everyone will die!"
"Ancestor Fire is here, please pity your people, now
i was saved, he
i decided to follow the "Ancestors' Sutra" and kill all the people in the world who do not worship the ancestors..."
These prayers for rain made Chen Qian narrow his eyes and he didn't know what thoughts were turning in his heart.
Soon, the three of them passed a corner, and the owner of the voice came into view. They were also a group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, with black hair and black eyes, holding pots and pans, kneeling on the ground, bowing and kowtowing.
This group of people is also shockingly thin, and the expression on their faces is also numb.
At the same time, Chen Qian also noticed that among this group of people, several of them were lying on the ground, dripping from blood and wounds on their bodies. It was obvious that they had just been stabbed shortly after.
However, the people next to them did not respond to this. In their opinion, these people just left earlier.
"How did it become like this!"
When Yu Qianyu saw the scene of his tribe, he looked shocked and sad. They left for half a year and did not understand the changes in the city. Besides, although the situation was not optimistic when they left, they did not expect it to deteriorate to this extent!
"What is my father doing? Why did he let his tribe fall into such a field?" Yu Qianyu was angry.
"These sword injuries must have been done by bald man Hu Hu!" Yu He roughly investigated several seriously injured and killed people, with a deep expression, gritted his teeth, and looked full of righteous indignation.
The reason why they rushed to the scene was that they heard Bald Hu brought people over in the store. They were afraid that something might happen, but they didn't expect that they were still one step late. Before they could see Bald Hu, they saw this scene of purgatory on earth!
Yu and the young man couldn't bear it? He stood up and rushed forward. Yu Qianyu hurriedly caught up, while Chen Qian followed along.
After walking for a few steps, he heard a duck-like voice coming from the front—
"Captain Yu, I'm doing this for your own good. I heard that your daughter has come back. If you give her to me, you Yu will let you live a life journey, otherwise..."
"You think it's beautiful!"
Before the man could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu He's roar.
"oh?"
Hearing the shout, several people looked back and the next moment, they found Chen Qian and the other two.
In contrast, Chen Qian and others also saw the scene ahead clearly.
It is located deep in the alley and covers a large area, but it is dilapidated. Most of the surrounding houses are built and paved with wooden boards and thatch. It is not so much a building or a house as a shanty town.
Looking around, there were many people gathered in the entire shanty town. On the front open space, more than a dozen men stood there, divided into two groups, clearly separated from each other.
On one side, there were four middle-aged men with simple clothes and pale faces. The leader was the majestic face, but his temples were gray and his back was hunched.
When Chen Qian saw this person, he immediately recognized that this person was the leader of the Yu tribe, Yu Wei, the leader of the Zhongzhou tribe.
Yu Wei heard the shout and looked over the sound. Seeing that it was the Yu siblings, his face suddenly changed and he felt a headache. He wanted to fool the matter first while Yu Qianyu was away. Who would have thought that Yu Qianyu would come back before he could say a few words.
As for Chen Qian, Yu Wei didn't care about it at all. In his opinion, Chen Qian was just a useless man who wanted to rely on the tribe.
When Chen Qian first arrived at this Broken Wood City, he had seen Yu Wei and there was no intersection afterwards. Compared with that, Yu Wei in front of him changed a lot. Not only was the slightest spirit, but his body and bones also seemed fragile and lacked vitality. With Chen Qian's eyesight, it could be easily seen that Yu Wei's back had been traumatized recently, and had a lot of damage, leaving behind future troubles.
Behind Yu Wei, there were three people standing, dressed similarly, and they were obviously from Yu Min, but opposite them were more than a dozen tall and energetic men.
The clothes of these men are similar to those of Yu Wei and others, but the material is obviously different, and they are woven with silk.
Satin is not something that ordinary people can use in Central China. In Daxi, merchants are casually wearing silk and colorful clothes, and they are being arrested.
In this Western Regions, silk is a symbol of wealth and status. It is impossible for people to see it even if they are not seen. Only those tribal leaders can wear it.
However, the dozen people in front of them were all wearing silk and swaying around, fearing that others would not know how many of them had good identities and extraordinary financial resources.
However, although everyone wears these dozen people, they can recognize who is the person in charge at a glance.
The leader was a young man with a bare head, neither tall nor short, and a fat face.
He heard Yu He's voice and turned to look. The pair of triangular eyes glared, and sneered first, then saw Yu Qianyu, and immediately narrowed, looking like a soul-sense.
"I said who it is? It turns out that my woman is back. It's okay. Let's just explain it clearly in person today." The man said, laughed and walked over.
At this time, Chen Qian also guessed that the bald head in front of him was the bald head in Yu He's mouth.
"It's really as good as his name." Chen Qian thought, and his perception enveloped him, and found that this person's cultivation was not as high as the peak of Qi and blood, but had entered the Zhoutian. He thought he had advanced in the past six months.
Bald Hu walked to Yu Qianyu, raised his hand and touched her face. Although he didn't look very good, his cultivation was not low, otherwise he would not have been attracted by the Lord of Broken Wood City and accepted it as his subordinate.
Therefore, even though Yu Qianyu was determined to dodge his mind when he grabbed this hand, his body froze when the bald exhaled energy rushed out, and he was unable to move. He was about to be touched by the thin palm of his face.
At this moment, Chen Qian's eyes moved and fell on the bald man's face.
His eyes were cold and sharp as a knife.
The latter immediately felt like a lightning strike, his whole body trembled, and then he jumped high like a frightened rabbit, flashing back and waiting to land again, and a pair of triangular eyes looked at Chen Qian in surprise.
He never looked at Chen Qian from beginning to end. Although he saw this man coming with the Yu siblings, he just glanced at him and found that he was a disabled person, so he didn't care about it.
But now when Chen Qian looked at it, his skin immediately felt numb, his face was hot, his heart was trembling, and he felt like he was terrifying. Bald man realized that he had misunderstood.
"Good guy, he's still a master!"
After staring at Chen Qian for a while, the bald man let out a long sigh, gave a chest caress, and asked, "Where are you? But Yu's masters who invited him to help boxing? I advise you not to get into this messy water. No matter how high your cultivation is, when you come to our Broken Wood City, you must follow the rules in the city... Um!"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly groaned, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and a look of horror on his face.
"Okay! OK! OK! Since you are here, I won't say much, let's change it
i then calculate this account."
The bald man was in a state of uncertainty on his face. He suddenly waved his hand and sent a signal to the people behind him. Then the group hurriedly wanted to leave.
Although this bald man Huo has good cultivation, he will give up immediately when he meets someone who is stronger than him to save his life.
Seeing the few people passing by one by one, Chen Qian narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't take action.
Bald Hu left without warning, which was beyond the expectations of many people, but when they recalled the scene just now, they immediately knew that someone had forced Bald Hu to retreat.
Yu Wei's eyes at Chen Qian changed, mixed with regret and anger.
After a while, the Yu siblings, who came to their senses, breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to talk to their father, but Yu Wei bowed and stopped the siblings. He followed the previous one and bowed to Chen Qian.
"I didn't expect you to be a hidden master. I used to be a mistake. The bald man said that he had made extraordinary cultivation. There are rumors that he had broken through to the Zhoutian Realm, but he was defeated by your hands. It seems that you are also a Zhoutian Realm master, who is enough to traverse the Western Regions..."
After his words, the Yu siblings behind him showed joy, thinking that his father was going to recruit Chen Qian.
But unexpectedly, Yu Wei suddenly changed his face, changed his tone, and looked fierce: "But Bald man called him the commander of Xicheng, with many talents under his command. If you offend him for a moment, you will feel comfortable, but you will inevitably have to implicate our troops. I must calculate this with you clearly! If you still have a little conscience, you will come to Bald man to apologize..."
"Babe!"
"Father!"
When Yu He and Yu Qianyu heard these words, they changed rapidly and were about to speak out.
On the other side, Chen Qian looked at Yu Wei in front of him, with a strange spirit in his eyes, and suddenly grinned and said, "So that's it, I understand."
Yu Wei was so restless that he was laughing at him that he couldn't help but ask, "What do you understand?"
Chen Qian put away his smile and said, "I understand why anyone dares to bully you!"
