Chapter 305: Military Flag and Telescope
It was already dark, and the strong wind unique to the grassland was howling, but the wooden house, which had been reinforced layer by layer, did not move at all.
Song Dekui picked up a piece of fried rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, then took a bite of the bread and said with a satisfied look on his face, "I never thought that I could sit in the house and enjoy delicious food in the desolate grassland.
Hey, no one would have thought! We have a house to live in any time. "
"Xiaoyun, are you really not afraid on this grassland?"
Last night when we were staying in the Jiang family's cave, the Jiang family talked about how to spend the night on the grassland.
Generally speaking, people wrap themselves in woolen blankets, choose a sheltered place, and spend the night outdoors in temperatures below zero degrees.
Now that we have a wooden house and it's not cold anymore, but how come Xiaoyun, a girl, is calmer than him?
Song Liyun smiled faintly: "I don't know! Maybe I'm destined to live on this grassland!"
She listened attentively to the faint howling of wolves outside, and the sound of three horses eating and treading on the ground on the other side of the wall.
During the ten years of the apocalypse, she had spent most of her time surviving alone in the wilderness and ruins, and the habit had long been ingrained in her bones.
Although he eventually died in a swarm of mutant rats.
After spending a whole year of peaceful life in Suijin Town, in addition to the sense of familiarity, I even feel a little excited about the revival of my wildness.
After dinner, Song Dekui took a long knife and volunteered to keep watch so that Song Liyun could have a good rest.
Because he needed to add fodder to the horse in the middle of the night, and he was on night guard, there was also a warm charcoal stove in his own cabin.
At this time, potatoes were roasting on the stove and tea was heating. He could take a nap with the door open, which was more comfortable than sleeping in a cave.
Song Liyun was still confident about her safety at night.
This place is only a day's journey away from Shitan Fort and is within the patrol range of the Zhenbei Army. Large groups of Dilu bandits dare not stay.
As for the wolves.
Based on her understanding of animals, wild beasts generally would not approach areas where cunning and vicious humans live.
There is no heavy snow on the grassland yet, and all kinds of hares and guinea pigs are active outside. It is easy for the wolves to fill their stomachs and they will not attack people.
But that is only limited to the situation where there is no heavy snow and there is enough food.
Song Liyun laid a sheepskin mat on the wooden floor of the board house, then put a quilt on it. All that was left was to have a good sleep.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, after a good night's sleep, Song Liyun opened the door and was shocked by the scene she saw.
A huge, skinny horse head stood right in front of him, almost hitting Song Liyun's nose.
The old horse had somehow gotten out of the fence and was standing at the door of its own cabin, tilting its head and gnawing on the copper ring on the door.
Song Liyun's sudden opening of the door obviously scared the old horse. It stepped back suddenly, ran a few steps, and turned back to look.
Song Liyun was both angry and amused. Lao Ma looked at her warily before reluctantly walking aside.
At this time, Song Dekui was still sleeping soundly. He kept watch at night and didn't go to bed until dawn.
They were going to travel today, so Song Liyun provided good fodder for the three horses.
She just added a drop of strengthening potion to the old horse's fodder.
When she first arrived in Wu Dynasty, Song Liyun planned to give the Song Zhenping brothers this biological agent that could strengthen their physique and muscles.
But as time goes by, this idea has changed little by little.
After all, strengthening potions violate the laws of natural biology.
That was at the end of the world. In order to survive in the harsh environment, people had to forcibly increase muscle strength in a short period of time, promote bone growth, and gain powerful strength.
This kind of behavior of drinking poison to quench thirst and forcing things to grow will always come at a price.
Then overdraw your life!
But in the end times, people can only live in the present, in the present moment, and they have to seize every moment. Longevity has become an adjective.
It’s different now. As long as you take good care of your body, you can live past sixty and enjoy your old age.
Therefore, Song Liyun gave up the idea of forcibly increasing their strength and let the Song brothers improve their bodies through medicine and food.
The situation is different for the old horse now. She needs a healthy horse, not a stop-and-go drag.
Besides, the old horse's life span is not long. Giving it a small amount of medicine to restore its strength and shorten its life span will only reduce the time it suffers.
By the time Song Dekui woke up and had his meal, the sun was already shining brightly in the sky.
The small wooden house was not dismantled. Song Liyun took the small bag and pretended to fiddle with it, and then the two rooms and the stoves inside were put into the space.
There was only a bare open space outside.
Song Dekui rode on his chestnut horse, chewing a big bun, and said, "It's a nice day today, but we have to hurry up so we can go back early."
Song Liyun nodded and said, "Okay! I'll be back in ten days at most."
As he spoke, he tidied the straps that tied the cardboard box, took out a soaring cloud flag and placed it on the sheepskin pad on his horse's back, and then mounted the horse.
Song Dekui watched her take out the colorful flags and exclaimed, "Xiaoyun, you're so mean! You didn't even tell me when you got the flags for the Zhenbei Army. I'm a little nervous about going to the Di tribe."
To be honest, although he wanted to go to the grassland to broaden his horizons, he still felt unsure when he thought about dealing with the Di tribe alone.
Song Liyun smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone. I begged for this from Wang Junqiao. Can't you see it's old? Wang Junqiao said he would only lend it to me this time and I must return it when I get back."
Song Dekui's eyes widened when he heard this: "They'll give you the military flag just because you want it?"
"Why are you so anxious? Who said this is a military flag? I heard from Wang the quartermaster that this is just a flag for awarding. It looks good when hung, but it can't mobilize troops."
The Tengyun Flag was actually just a colorful flag used by the Zhenbei Army during certain ceremonies, and all the garrisons were familiar with it.
Song Liyun is now preparing to go out in advance.
If you encounter a patrol of the Zhenbei Army on the grassland, there will be no misunderstandings and it will be convenient to seek help.
Moreover, the flags of the Zhenbei Army were also intended to suppress these small Di tribes close to the Wu Dynasty, so that they would not dare to have any bad intentions.
Song Dekui urged his horse forward and said with a chuckle, "With this flag, we don't have to worry about encountering bandits anymore."
Song Liyun wasn't sure whether the bandits would be afraid.
For desperadoes, their thoughts are hard to guess, and there is no need to guess. The best way is to avoid them.
Thinking of this, Song Liyun took out a pair of high-power binoculars.
She bought this at a high price in the main city at the end of the world.
You get what you pay for. Thanks to this highly sophisticated instrument, she has been able to avoid attacks from mutated beasts and humans in the wilderness of the apocalypse time and time again.
This is Song Liyun's most precious treasure. After she came to the Wu Dynasty, she has never taken it out once.
Standing on the open grassland and using a telescope, Song Liyun could see three wild wolves forming a column and crossing the top of the small hill at the end of her field of vision.
This distance... Song Liyun estimated that it was enough for ten miles.
This period of time is enough for me to calmly deal with all the variables ahead.
Song Dekui watched Song Liyun put a strange object in front of her eyes, turning it around as if looking at something, and asked curiously, "Xiaoyun, is that... a divine object of the immortal?"
