Chapter 14 The Dragon's Qi Lives in the North(1/2)
Faced with such a situation, Lin Fengjin was naturally very cautious. He waved his hand, and the red knights beside him quickly formed a group of three to seize the commanding heights. With their accurate bows and arrows, they could suppress them.
, even if there is any emergency, we can respond as soon as possible to ensure that not even a fly can escape from the village.
After the men in the red cavalry blew out bird calls one after another and sent out the signal that everything was in place, a group of people walked into the ferry with the Sirius and the wild boar in the lead.
It can be said that there is a rancid smell wafting inside this ferry. The source of the smell is from the dried blood on the ground. A large number of flies and other things have fallen on it, but apart from the blood, there is nothing to be found.
All people, even common domestic animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs, have completely disappeared.
Lin Fengjin strolled into the door of a farmhouse. The door was ajar and opened with a light touch. The door shaft made a long "squeak" sound, and then swung back and forth, continuously.
There was a friction sound like a scream.
Lin Fengjin observed carefully. Although the house was in a mess, the food was still there. He grabbed a handful and smelled it. Whether it was millet or rice, there was a faint fragrance. It was obviously the new food of the season.
, then Lin Fengjin entered the kitchen next to it and found a trace of moisture on the ground. When he touched it with his hand, he found that it was spilled vegetable oil.
Sirius, who came with him, also found half a bunch of copper coins and more than one tael of broken silver under the bed. This is enough to show that the other party is not here to seek wealth. Otherwise, these grains, oil, and gold and silver should all be
It's only right to be robbed and taken away.
After Lin Fengjin walked out, the rest of the guards returned after searching, and they all reported that no living people were found. There were only blood stains. What's more terrible is that even the ferry at the ferry was missing.
However, misfortunes and blessings depend on it. Finally, there is good news. That is, a large amount of food and noodles were found in the house at the crossing of Zihe River. It seems that the small hotel has just received goods.
More than a dozen jars of wine and hundreds of pounds of bacon.
In Butcher Li's house, there are still about two hundred kilograms of lard. Taken together, these things are enough to feed the caravan for a long time. If they eat sparingly, they can even last for ten days and a half.
By saying this, the current urgent need can be solved. Of course, wild boars have tried these things one by one and are sure to be non-toxic.
In addition, the vegetables grown in the large fields outside the ferry are also very lush. The green cucumbers on the shelves are crisp and raw, the green watermelons on the beach are also ripe, and the Chinese cabbage is flourishing in the ground...
.At this time, these vegetables are produced in large quantities. And they should be irrigated with Zihe River water. Lin Fengjin did not notice anything different, and let the wild boar taste it to make sure that it was not poisonous. So at least the supply crisis can be said for the time being.
It's been lifted.
At this time, Lin Fengjin looked at the sky. He found that there were layers of rain clouds and it became gloomy again. He was afraid that it would rain again, so he sent people back to report back. Although there was something strange in the Zihe Ferry,
But it always looks better than living outside. For now, I can only reluctantly move in. At least there is no shortage of food here.
So soon, the Lin family's motorcade filed in and drove into Zihe Town. When the guards and other guards nearby saw this place that seemed to be a ghost town, their expressions were not good, and it could be seen that they were also feeling sad in their hearts.
It was very depressing. Many people frowned and didn't say a word. This is because the Lin family usually trains these servants and guards in military law. It can be said that they are well-trained.
The other guards who came with them behaved even more unbearably. Some even shouted loudly, saying that they had encountered evil spirits when they went out this time and wanted to turn around and go back. The shopkeepers of each house kept smiling and said good things and promised.
Double the money, but nothing can be done to stop him----------This practice is actually a taboo of the escort agency, but once it spreads, most of the people who escaped halfway will not be able to get back.
This place has established a foothold, and even the name of the escort agency will be severely damaged. But these people don't care about so much at the moment of life and death.
However, just as the guards and escorts who were making noises about leaving were about to go out, they suddenly froze in place. Their legs seemed to be filled with lead and they could not move at all. But they heard
At this time, Manager Bi from the Lin family caravan sneered:
"Let them go. I wonder what will happen to these bastards if they leave the brigade? Our gangsters, the Chen brothers, are all capable of martial arts. If they were not unconscious and folded in the middle of the road, what if
Instead of being rescued, now the corpses are probably infested with maggots. Someone is obsessed with ghosts and is rushing to be reincarnated. Why do you stop me?"
Manager Bi Da said this to the other shopkeepers. He didn't even take a look at those bastards, but he talked about these people so much that his heart beat loudly and he smiled coquettishly.
After a few moments, he returned to the caravan again.
At this time, Lin Fengjin led the people back. At this time, he had almost completely figured out the geography and terrain of the Zihe Ferry. Therefore, he did not choose Butcher Li's house, which had the largest courtyard, but called the caravan to arrive.
We set up camp at that inn and drove the animals into the inn's stable. If they couldn't accommodate them, they opened the woodshed and utility room inside the inn and made them into temporary corrals.
The inn could not accommodate all the people in the caravan, so they set up outdoor tents around the inn, and then surrounded the carts outside the tents. After such an arrangement, everyone immediately realized the beauty of this: the surrounding area of the inn
The terrain is open, making it much easier to defend. More importantly, there is a well inside the inn, which can be well protected as a safe water source.
Taking advantage of this effort, Lin Fengjin immediately dispatched ten more people. These ten people were all members of the Red Cavalry around him. They came from the grassland and were proficient in herding. These people were responsible for the large and small caravans.
We took hundreds of livestock out for grazing. Before the rain fell, we quickly let these cattle and horses eat some green materials in the fields to keep them fat. Although there was not much grass nearby, there were still a lot of vegetables and other things.
.
Lin Fengjin estimated that the people living in Zihedu were in bad luck. The crops in the fields were meaningless to them. They might as well use some of them to feed the livestock. Even if someone came back, the worst thing would be
The matter of losing money.
Next, Lin Fengjin sent out dozens of people who were accustomed to doing farm work and were quick and agile. The destination of these people was also to go to the fields outside, but they were not going to feed the livestock. Instead, they were bringing as much durable food as possible.
Vegetables and fruits come back, such as watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers and the like. Even if they are kept for more than ten days, they will not spoil and they will still maintain a good taste.
Soon, the damn rain fell again, still carrying the faint smell of blood and blood. Fortunately, the rain was not very sudden, so the cows and horses that went out to graze happily ate a lot of green grass.
, and the fifty guards of the Lin family are all strong young men, and the wind is still blowing under their feet while carrying four or five watermelons. After running back and forth a few times, fresh vegetables and fruits are piled up in the room.
For the next lunch, Lin Fengjin also specifically asked the master chef to use some skills and make it as rich as possible. At the same time, he allowed everyone to drink some wine to make up for their drowsiness. At this time, the morale of the team was low, and everyone
Eating a meal can help restore military morale.
At the same time, after drinking and eating, Lin Fengjin also borrowed the words of Manager Bi Da to say a few things,
First, tell everyone that mandrills are causing trouble here. As long as everyone gathers together. With the mastiff warning, everyone should be vigilant, and there is nothing the mandrill can do.
Second, there are villages upstream and downstream of the Zihe River Crossing. There are many fishing boats and cargo ships. Soon someone will set off to borrow boats upstream and downstream. If you are lucky, you can leave today.
Third, according to the exact news (which was actually fabricated), the villagers were so harassed that they went to the county town to ask for help, and at the same time rowed the boat away to avoid being pursued by the mandrills.
In fact, there are many loopholes in these three things. For example, what about the two corpses that died in the front of the village? Even if they were plotted by the mandrill, why didn't they help collect the corpses?
However, for most people, they only need to get an answer from a superior person. As for whether the answer is true or false, few people really think about it. For Lin Fengjin, 80% of people believe it.
That was enough, and morale was almost back to normal.
After eating, Manager Bi found Lin Fengjin and said with some worry:
"Sir, this rain clearly came out of nowhere. Maybe it came after us. I also encountered a similar strange thing twenty years ago. When I was walking in Shu, there was a village within a radius of five miles.
There has always been drought and no rain, and it lasted for two years. Finally, I found out that there was a zombie here that kept sucking the yin energy from the earth veins, causing the earth veins to change and drought. This is completely a Feng Shui problem.
Already."
"Is it a matter of Feng Shui?" Lin Fengjin's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard what Manager Bi said, and he realized that he had captured something very important. He pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of the one that was similar to the messenger of Su Wo.
Although this beetle looks much weaker than the Suga Envoy, it is similar to the Suga Envoy in many aspects, and it is stronger than the Suga Envoy and can actually grow on the Central Plains...
"By the way, I also received the message when I was in Yedu." Lin Fengjin remembered something again: "The East China Sea Allied Forces seem to have made some changes. They have begun to arrest a large number of residents of the Central Plains. It seems that there should be a conspiracy.
Among them, maybe the prisoners were used as blood sacrifices..."
At this time, the more Lin Fengjin thought about it, the more clues began to come together:
"By the way, although the Zihe River is not too wide, the water flow is relatively fast, so the sediment cannot be retained. Therefore, the Zihe River has always been quite deep and can navigate large ships.
The outlet of the Zihe River is only three to four hundred miles away from here... Could it be that these unlucky villagers at the Zihe River Ferry were poisoned by the East China Sea Allied Forces' advance team that went deep into the interior along the river?"
After thinking carefully, Lin Fengjin felt that he should pay attention to this current problem. However, he was currently in the Dongxia Kingdom. It could be said that he was unfamiliar with the place and could not even find a local person.
, it was raining non-stop outside, and there were unknown troubles and dangers hidden in the darkness, which really caused a lot of trouble to people.
At this time, Shui'e suddenly said to Lin Fengjin:
"Master, it is obvious that someone is targeting us behind the scenes, and the method of targeting is very straightforward. The heavy rain has been chasing us, and the rainwater contains the smell of rot and blood, which can pollute the surrounding environment and make
We were exhausted. Although this method seemed to be flawless, the old man's words woke me up."
Lin Fengjin wondered:
"What words?"
Shui'e said seriously:
"Such a long-term change in weather conditions, causing long-term rainfall in a certain place, is definitely not something that can be caused by human power. Even a powerful creature like the Snake God can only change the weather in a short period of time. It is impossible to say
It takes up to half a day to control wind and rain. Therefore, what Manager Bi just said, this must be due to Feng Shui is absolutely correct. Let the other party change in ever-changing ways. How to hide it, we only need to grasp this point,
The other party has nowhere to hide."
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and said:
"That's the problem. I really don't know anything about Feng Shui! And more importantly, there are too many flaws in the valley fork where the Chen brothers were ambushed. Judging from many clues,
It's probably a trap. If I catch up rashly, I might even be ambushed! At this time, I really feel like there are so many clues coming up all at once. It's really hard to find clues."
Shui'e chuckled lightly at this time and said:
"That's not necessarily the case. Feng Shui seems to be quite complicated, and it sounds very magical. In fact, it evolved from some common sense of mountains and geography. Then it gradually evolved from small things to big things, from simplicity to complexity.
, it can be said that the basis of Feng Shui is just four words facing south and facing north."
"In ancient times, people gradually discovered that living in a house facing south and facing north has many benefits. The first is facing the sun. In this way, the house you live in will not be damp and your body will be healthy. Another benefit is
, is to avoid the cold north wind blowing head-on. It is because of this benefit that some people began to think about the relationship between Feng Shui. Therefore, Feng Shui is developed from the four simple words of facing south and facing north.
Nothing is too much."
"Historically speaking, facing south and turning your back to the north can even be extended to the rise and fall of many dynasties. Those who face the south and turn their backs to the north tend to win more battles, so there is a saying that the dragon spirit lives in the north...
..."
After hearing Shui'e's words, Lin Fengjin suddenly raised his hand and told Shui'e to wait and think about it carefully, because a memory from his previous life suddenly flashed in Lin Fengjin's mind. Shui'e's statement made him
