They are all ordinary people. If they leave, they may be caught and eaten again at any time. They saw their relatives being eaten by those soldiers with their own eyes. Now their benefactor has saved them and killed those soldiers. He must be a good person.
Seeing that those people were not scared away and were still following him, Qi Yanxuan stopped helplessly.
He turned around and said to them, "You guys aren't leaving? No need to follow me. I don't support idlers!"
When the victims heard Qi Yanxuan's words, they panicked and wanted to kneel down and beg him, thinking that he would not let them go.
Qi Yanxuan squeezed Chen Yanqing's hand, and the other party immediately understood.
By activating their special powers, everyone was blown off balance by the wind but did not kneel down.
Qi Yanxuan looked at everyone and said, "You don't have to kneel before me. Those people were blocking my way, so saving you was just a matter of convenience!"
A few smarter ones understood the meaning of Qi Yanxuan's words at this time. If they wanted to stay, they had to have their own value.
One by one, they came forward and tried their best to promote themselves.
"Benefactor! I'm a blacksmith and I can forge iron!"
"Benefactor! I can make charcoal!"
"Benefactor! And me! I'm a chef! I can cook!"
…
"What about you guys?"
Qi Yanxuan looked at the people behind him who were hanging their heads and asked.
When those people heard this, they raised their heads and their voices became weaker.
"We can...we can farm. Is that okay?"
Qi Yanxuan thought about it. After all, they were going to build a city, and some things did need to be done by ordinary people. Farming was also necessary. He couldn't really let him use the food to feed so many people, right? They still had to be self-reliant. As long as they weren't lazy and cunning, it would be fine to accept them.
Then he said to the crowd, "Yes! But since you all have no food, I can lend it to you temporarily, and you can use your work to pay off the debt later! Do you agree?"
Everyone was delighted to hear this and nodded quickly, saying, "Agreed! Agreed! We will do our best to serve our benefactor in the future!"
"Alright! But if they dare to default on their obligations in the future... you've seen what happened to those soldiers."
“I know…I know!”
Everyone thought of the soldiers who turned into mummies in an instant, and they shuddered all over. Even if they had a few hundred guts, they would not dare to deny their debt!
Qi Yanxuan took out a pile of food from the space, each bag weighing fifty kilograms.
Everyone watched in shock at this act of conjuring objects from thin air. Their only thought was, was this a deity sent from heaven to save them? They'd saved them from their desperate situation, hadn't the heavens abandoned them? And why had they been visited with so much suffering? Their families hadn't even waited for the deity's salvation... Their eyes gradually welled up, tears streaming uncontrollably.
Qi Yanxuan understood their feelings, but in the end times, separation of life and death is the norm. It is possible that the person you are chatting with now will die the next moment. The only thing you can do is to keep getting stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you survive and protect the people you want to protect.
“One bag per person!”
After saying that, Qi Yanxuan and the other person continued to walk back. The others calmed down, carried the food, and quickly caught up with the two people in front.
The blood-sucking vine was driving the horses at the back. Animals are naturally alert to danger. When the horses sensed the danger posed by the blood-sucking vine, they all moved forward obediently.
Back at the camp, Qi Yanxuan gathered those who had participated in the fight with the enemy and pointed to the horses in the open field, saying, "These horses are spoils of war! Each person who participated gets one, and the remaining one hundred or so horses belong to the three of us. Is that okay?"
Everyone shook their heads and did not go forward to lead the horses.
Shen Wenxuan stepped forward with his arm wrapped in a cloth around his neck and said, "Yan Xuan, if it weren't for you, none of us would have survived, let alone the spoils of war. We are unworthy of them!"
Qi Yanxuan: "Since you chose to follow me, I will not give you less than what you deserve. These war horses are earned by killing enemies, so just accept them!"
"Thank you, Captain!"
Everyone shouted in unison upon hearing this.
Then they returned all the weapons they had taken before entering the city to Qi Yanxuan. Qi Yanxuan asked them to put them on the ground and collect them together later.
Shen Kui came close to Qi Yanxuan and smiled, revealing his big white teeth.
"Hey! Yan Xuan, can I trade my horse for this knife?"
Qi Yanxuan nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Very good!"
After getting the consent, Shen Kui happily held his knife and touched it again and again.
Seeing this, others also wanted to exchange their horses for Tang swords. Now everyone had enough food, and there were more and more dangers ahead. Having a good weapon would make everyone feel more at ease.
After getting their consent, they happily took back their weapons. They all liked this sword they had never seen before more than their horses, but no one was too embarrassed to speak up.
Since no one wanted the war horses, Qi Yanxuan put them into the space and let them graze on the grassland at the foot of the mountain.
After all these things happened, it was already evening. The houses here had been cleared out by Shen Yanshan at the beginning, and the wide area was just right for camping.
The newcomers had no tarpaulins or blankets to build their tents, so they exchanged some food with others.
The next morning.
As Qi Yanxuan walked out of the tent, he saw the sky-breaking clouds that appeared in the sky before an earthquake.
A long crack divides the entire cloud into two large pieces. This is an earthquake cloud that only appears during a large-scale earthquake.
When Shen Yanqing came out holding Jin En, he saw Qi Yanxuan staring at the sky without blinking, and asked, "Ah Xuan, what's wrong?"
Qi Yanxuan retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Yanqing. Remembering what he had promised him before, he said, "Aqing, the earthquake is coming soon. Look at the clouds in the sky. This is the scene that appears before an earthquake."
Shen Yanqing glanced at the clouds in the sky and subconsciously tightened his arms. He relaxed a little when the child moved uncomfortably.
After the storm, he realized even more profoundly how insignificant humans were in the face of natural disasters. Even though he was now a superpower, he was still not strong enough to withstand natural disasters. Did he have to let Ah Xuan block all dangers for them? At this moment, he yearned for greater strength.
Qi Yanxuan noticed the change in Shen Yanqing's mood, stepped forward and hugged him, comforting him softly: "Don't worry! I didn't hide it from you this time, don't be unhappy, okay? You have to believe that I can handle it."
"Um."
Shen Yanqing knew that his wife was very strong, and his reason told him to trust Qi Yanxuan, but his emotions made him unable to help but worry. He knew that if Qi Yanxuan was alone, as long as he hid in the space, no danger could threaten him.
He was afraid that Qi Yanxuan would put himself in danger for the three of them, especially him. If he was in danger, Qi Yanxuan would not abandon him even at the risk of his life.
Shen Yanqing warned with a serious face: "Ah Xuan! If a danger occurs that you can't control, you must focus on yourself!"
