Chapter 68: Wheat Ear Along the Road
The townspeople gathered together, and Xiao Changcheng stood at the front, surrounded by several young men, including butchers and scholars. They were all physically strong and could help Xiao Changcheng with some chores.
The sadness disappeared from his face, as if nothing happened just now.
In the past, when the town was still full of people, some people would probably bite their tongues and say that his mother had no expression after she died, which was unfilial.
But now, those kind of people have long since disappeared.
Or maybe they're all dead.
“Everyone is here?”
“Everyone is here.”
After receiving the reply, Xiao Changcheng nodded, raised his hand and shouted:
“Let’s go!”
The donkeys and horses were driven around, and the carts donated by Qian Chen were put to use. They were all loaded with rice and meat, which could feed the townspeople these days.
Seeing a large number of teams starting to walk, Cai Yi also felt emotional and said to Zuo Chen: "Taoist Master, let's follow too."
"Cai Yi," Zuo Chen said He shook his head and got off the donkey cart: "You go with them."
Caiyi was shocked, and suddenly became confused and confused.
She also hurriedly got off the donkey cart, her face red with urgency:
"Taoist Master, I...did I do something wrong? Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think I'm lazy? I will practice hard. If your clothes are dirty, I will wash them for you. If you are greedy, I will find them for you. Food. Don't drive me away."
When he said this, tears actually fell and he wanted to kneel down to Zuo Chen.
Zuo Chen stretched out his hand and hit Cai Yi on the head with his hand blade.
“Hey! It hurts!”
Caiyi squatted down holding her head.
"What are you thinking about?" Zuo Chen laughed hoarsely, "I just met that master and found the direction of the road he led us down. Our paths were in completely different directions. You were not good enough and you were holding me back, so I thought of ways to go. You go to the monk's side with the army first, and then I can kill the wilderness so that I can go find you.
"What's more, only you can scoop up the porridge in my big bucket, and the others are greedy. If you drink secretly, you will only drink less and less. No matter what, you have to follow them to the monk first. "
When Caiyi heard this, his crying face softened, and he showed an unattractive smile, and then said: "I was scared to death. ”
Zuo Chen pulled out the golden boy and girl from his cuffs, and the two little dolls were delivered to Cai Yi’s hands with a confused look on his face.
Cai Yi held them both carefully.< br>
"I want to go to the center of Xuzhou. The road is not close. Even if I use Shuchi magical power, it will take seven days to go back and forth. Within seven days, I estimate that King Kang may send troops to attack the monk's land. If the two A golden bean general has been restrained, and there are others who want to harm the lives of the people. It depends on you. Let’s start protecting people.”
“Don’t worry! I will kill anyone who dares to steal the people’s food!”
Because Caiyi is carrying two little dolls. I wiped the tears from my face. Although I said this with a strong voice, it was not very convincing.
"Okay." Zuo Chen felt that everything that needed to be explained was almost done, so he waved his sleeves, turned around and left alone.
Looking at him and the townspeople drifting away, Cai Yi sniffed and said loudly:
"Taoist Priest! Don't leave me behind."
"The golden boy is still in your hands. I will definitely come back."
Waving behind his back, the figure disappeared in an instant. There was no trace in Cai Yi's eyes.
Caiyi dragged the two little dolls onto her shoulders and wiped away her tears with her sleeves.
……
"Master Dao won't come with us?" Xiao Changcheng was slightly surprised.
"The Taoist Master has more important things to do." Caiyi stood on the donkey cart, holding a spoon, and said while sharing porridge with the villagers around him: "You can tell me if you have anything. Try to think of a way."
When Caiyi said this, she felt a little unsure. Now that she is not very capable, if the townspeople really caused a disaster, she felt that she might really do it. Can't handle it.
Even the pot of porridge Zuo Chen left for her might be eaten up.
According to what Zuo Chen said before, he is not yet capable of making something out of nothing, so this pot of porridge actually uses a bamboo basket storage method. It seems that the capacity is very small, but the bottom of the pot is actually as deep as the ocean. But it's like a treasury. Ordinary people don't have the key, so they can only take away the superficial ones. Caiyi has true energy in his body, so he can continuously take porridge from the bucket.
But this porridge will be eaten sooner or later.
What will I give to the villagers then?
Caiyi sighed.
When she was in Qingzhou, she had little ability. When she had no time, she would always fantasize about saving the world and becoming a great chivalrous woman. But in the end, the opportunity really fell into her own hands, but she was worried about the gain and loss.
It’s difficult.
Xiao Changcheng didn't know what Caiyi was thinking. Seeing that the villagers had formed a long queue and walked forward, he also took out the wheat ears Zuo Chen gave him.
The golden wheat fell into his hands, and Xiao Changcheng really didn’t know how to use it.
"Shake it...will it work if you shake it? Can I really use such a magical power?"
Xiao Changcheng muttered, but still honestly started to shake the wheat from side to side. ear.
No reaction.
Xiao Changcheng blinked his eyes and did not dare to stop his hands. He could only shake the ears of wheat while walking forward, wondering if there was any movement he did that was not standard and in place. Would he like to ask for advice later? Colorful clothes.
But suddenly, Xiao Changcheng heard a child exclaiming behind him:
"Hey! Wheat is growing on the ground, wheat is growing on the ground!"
Looking back, suddenly I found that green wheat began to grow under the desolate soil!
These green, seedling-like wheat grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they were as tall as a walking child. They also turned from green to gold, shining under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Xiao Changcheng was slightly dazed, and then he realized what Zuo Chen meant.
As long as the wheat ears are gently shaken, if there are any surviving Xuzhou people around, they will naturally follow.
If there are ears of wheat growing all over the ground, and a living person sees them, they will definitely catch up with them.
The method Zuo Chen said is to pave a long road!
"Take the sickle and cut some on the road, but don't cut it all off, keep some."
Xiao Changcheng reacted immediately and greeted the team behind.
The people in the team talked back one by one. Those who had the strength also picked up the sickle, their eyes full of energy.
Xiao Changcheng walked in the front shaking the ears of wheat.
The wheat is growing behind.
Cut half of it and leave half of it, but there is still a piece of land left.
A gust of wind blew from afar, and the golden wheat rolled with the wind like waves.
Refugees walked among them all the way, advancing silently like people treading on the waves.
Some people seemed to emerge from the surrounding wasteland. They were skinny and silent, silently following the back of the team.
This team is getting bigger and bigger.
Follow the wheat and it becomes a wave.
......
Zuo Chen, who was walking towards the center of Xuzhou, seemed to feel something. He turned his head slightly and looked back to the south.
Listening for a few seconds, Zuo Chen had a smile on his face and felt relaxed all over.
Well, the Taoist mind is smooth!
Look back and keep moving forward.
There was still a wasteland in front of him, and the sky was covered with clouds and evil winds were blowing.
It seems that what he is about to go to is a hell on earth.
