Chapter 381 Seems to be begging
The corn kernels in the pigeon's mouth were blown away onto the table. The corn kernels that were originally on the table were scattered all over the store, and even its soft feathers were now scattered all over the place.
Although it was so angry that it jumped up and down, it still picked up the corn kernels one by one and ate them obediently. If someone else had dropped the corn kernels, it would have pecked them for a few big bags. But the one who dropped the corn kernels was its breadwinner, Lin Xinhuan. The white pigeon was smart and understood the difference between eating once and eating countless times.
Where did the anxious Lin Xinhuan go? Without even knocking on the door, he jumped up the wall and said, "Stop fighting. The enemy has arrived in Liuxi County. The young men have written to ask for help."
"What! Who is guarding Willow Creek County now?"
"King Zhu, it is Deputy General Yao who is stationed here."
"Yao Qi?" Zhu Linlang knew him. He had followed all the way from Qinghe County. He was originally a butcher. He wielded his sword with great power. In addition, he was studious, so he was soon promoted to deputy general and was able to lead soldiers to guard the city.
"Young masters and young ladies haven't come back yet?" A few days ago, in order to train the younger generation in the tribe, in fact, Zhu Linlang's peers, they were given the task of escorting food to Liuxi County.
“No.”
Zhu Linlang put away the sword, not even bothering to wipe the sweat off his face: "Oh, this is a problem. If anything happens to them, how should I explain it to the tribe?"
Although they are usually a bit annoying and often ask stupid questions, Zhu Linlang has seen their growth in recent days and thinks that they are truly thinking for the people.
"Linlang, don't worry. Didn't Chang Yuan go with them? He was able to send a message back, which means he's still alive."
Lin Xinhuan jumped down from the wall. The strong never complain about the environment. You don’t allow her to use magic and aura, right? Then I will learn martial arts!
It was clearly martial arts that he learned from Chang Yuan and the others. There was no such thing as internal strength in ancient times. It was just the simplest few moves that made the warriors as light as a swallow.
Lin Xinhuan felt a surge of energy in it, could it be internal force?
He was a man of great skill and courage. Relying on the magic medicine he had to save his life, he copied the martial arts he saw from modern martial artists, such as Lingbo Weibu, Seven Wounds Fist, and Six Meridians Divine Sword, to ancient times.
When she soared into the sky with the power of falling leaves, she felt like she was wearing a halo above her head!
It was just the moment of take-off that warriors like Chang Yuan didn't believe it at first, but later they rushed to worship Lin Xinhuan as their master.
So far, no one has been able to feel the existence of the internal force that Lin Xinhuan talked about, but everyone believes in her words without a doubt.
Zhu Jingshi and the Zhu elders held candles and offerings, looking proud: "What Xinhuan said is right!"
The degree of enthusiasm is no less than that of modern star-chasers.
Zhu Linlang stuck her long sword into the ground and used it to rest. She and Lin Xinhuan were practicing martial arts together, and Lin Xinhuan had already learned to fly, but she was still being beaten by Chang Yuan and the others.
Seeing her pitiful look, Lin Xinhuan couldn't help but rub her little head. Seeing her hair getting even messier, Lin Xinhuan laughed: "Little fox with frizzy hair~"
On the other side, in Liuxi County, Yao Qi and the daughters of the Zhu family, who had sent the letter for help, buried their faces in their warm military coats and did not feel the cold wind at all.
Several young masters learned it on their own. They put their hands into each other's sleeves and sighed with comfort.
Yao Qi looked down the wall curiously: "What are they doing? Are they helping us clean up the zombies?"
Didn't we threaten to attack them not long ago and ask them to open the city gates as soon as possible? Now we have become friendly forces in just one second?
Even those young men who are well-read in poetry books are confused because their behavior is too misleading.
Before coming, the girls who had studied military books speculated: "Could it be that they want to trap us in the city? After running out of food, they will naturally open the city gates and surrender."
"This..." Yao Qi couldn't judge what the enemy leader was thinking. If this idea was correct in the past, after the besieged city ran out of food, it would either surrender or fight.
Yao Qi estimated that the enemy had at least 10,000 troops, while they only had a few thousand, so they did not have an advantage in numbers.
Now zombies are everywhere, and they have just received a batch of supplies. Standing on the city wall, they can see the enemy's meager supplies. They have begun to worry about the enemy, fearing that they will become part of the zombie army outside the city and leave a mess for them to clean up.
"Sir, the ladies, let's go inside first. We specially asked the chef to cook hot pot today. There are tomato, bone soup, spicy, butter, and mushroom soup bases. The weather is very cold, so eating hot pot can warm you up."
Yao Qi looked at the enemy's tattered clothes and felt cold for them. He shivered and had to eat a hot pot to recover.
When the gentlemen heard that it was hot pot, they immediately forgot about the worry about the enemy approaching the city. They can't come in for the time being, so let's eat first!
Soon, a soul-stirring fragrance wafted from Liuxi County, stunning the enemy who were silently chewing snow.
"Commander-in-Chief, they have food to eat...it's pork. What's that pungent and fragrant smell? It must be delicious meat~"
"But now, where does the meat come from? The livestock have been eaten by zombies or starved to death. People don't have food to eat, so how can there be any extra food to feed the livestock?"
The soldier shook his head, trying to get rid of the fragrance. It must be an illusion, but he couldn't put the snowball in his hand into his mouth.
"Commander-in-Chief, I'm so cold. Can we really wait until they surrender?"
I'm not here to attack the city, but I feel like I'm here to beg in Liuxi County.
In the evening, the soldiers huddled together for warmth and vaguely saw a light flashing on the city wall: "Is the sun out?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hasn't the sun set?"
"No, there is a real light! A treasure has appeared!"
The soldiers were overjoyed when they saw the light. They had never seen such a dazzling light before. It was just like the scene of the appearance of the divine treasure described by the storyteller.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Report to the lieutenant general, something was thrown down from the Liuxi County wall."
"What a big deal! It's just a corpse. We've dealt with so many of them before." They couldn't imagine what else could be thrown out except a corpse.
"Commander-in-Chief, let's go take a look. It might be a treasure. If the people from Liuxi County open the city gate to check the situation, we can break into the city."
Yuesheng thought Xiaobing’s suggestion made sense, and out of curiosity about the mysterious light, he decided to go forward and find out what it was.
At first glance, everyone’s hearts could not calm down for a long time. It was the quilt, the thick quilt, that allowed them to survive the night.
Oops, it feels even more like begging.
"Before the chaos, I had never seen such thick quilts at home." Even without touching them, a certain soldier knew that these quilts were not cheap, and his voice was heavy with nasal discharge and a crying tone.
"Commander, there seems to be something inside."
"Take it out and have a look."
They opened the quilt and saw that there were cakes wrapped in oil paper inside. They had never seen cakes before. There were square, round, and rectangular shapes. They were black and yellowish brown in color and as hard as stone.
