Chapter three hundred and ninety fourth staff(1/2)
Daze City, more than one mile away from the Xicheng Gate, built a small wooden house like a courtyard house on a small land bundle.
The four-row wooden house surrounded a flat land of about acre, and opened a large door to the east. The door was made of one foot thick wooden boards, just like the walls of the wooden house, very thick and strong.
Apart from being burned, this wooden house is considered to be of particular importance.
Other wooden houses in the city are built directly on mud. When it rains, there are mud ponds inside and outside the house. This small "Siheyuan" is not only built on the higher land buns, which saves the pain of water accumulation, but also has a thick layer of gravel in the yard, which looks refreshing even after a heavy rain.
In a room to the west of the yard, topaz was wrapped in a torn linen cloth and lay expressionlessly on the wooden bed.
Topaz, who was so hungry that he was weak all over, had scars from mosquito bites on his skin, and his skin was eroded by moisture and pale like a floating corpse. If it weren't for the slightly undulating chest, he would have been a corpse.
I just filled my stomach with cold water, and strange "guru" and "gugu" sounds kept coming from Topaz's belly.
In the room just south, a weak hum suddenly came: "Yu'er... I'm going to work so hard, my grandfather and grandson won't starve to death here? Otherwise, you go outside and look for it to see if you can find something to eat?"
Topaz rolled her eyes and said nothing.
Looking for something to eat?
Haha, it's easy to say.
In the house just south, Huang Yu's grandfather Huang Yan lived, who was once the lord of a county and a great figure with great glory.
The Huang family is also a wealthy family of not only a big or small. Huang Yu was spoiled since childhood, and was well-equipped. He was talented and proficient in poetry and calligraphy, good at painting, and was good at writing poetry and essays. He was known as the "little prodigy" and won the hearts of many beautiful ladies.
However, good times do not last long, and disasters come from heaven.
God knows who Huang Yan has offended, and the big black pot of "colluding with enemy countries and plotting rebellion" was smashed down, which almost suffocated the entire Huang family. First, he confiscated the house, and then he raised his butcher knife and prepared to exterminate the clan.
Fortunately, the Huang family still has some connections. Through the tense operation, a noble person finally spoke. The Huang family has gone from killing the nine clans to becoming the Great Zezhou Prefecture.
I originally thought that Daze Prefecture was a glimmer of hope, but I didn’t expect that when I got here, I would truly be able to break into a nightmare. Huang Yu, who has been pampering since childhood, finally understood what ‘life is difficult’.
Now there are only two grandparents and grandchildren in the yard, and the family has been out of food for five days.
When Huang Yan was exiled, all his cultivation was destroyed by his opponent. Now it is difficult to move.
Huang Yu has no survival experience. Although he is underage, although he has the cultivation level of the second level of Chonglou Realm, he has never fought with anyone.
He is even proficient in various game-playing techniques, but he doesn't know any of the magical and secret techniques that can be used to fight and fight.
Originally, there were two loyal old servants serving their grandparents and grandchildren, but five days ago, the two old servants left the city and went to the forest to take the risk of hunting some wild animals and come back to fill their stomachs...
It has been five days and they haven't come back.
Three days ago, a group of rogue bastards in Daze City were already looking around at the door.
When the two old servants were still there, relying on their cultivation and the power of the Huang family's ancestral martial arts, they could still shock these bastards in the city. However, the two old servants had not come back for a few days, and these scoundrels seemed to smell the bloody flies and naturally gathered over.
The Huang family’s yard is now in Daze City, besides the Black Phoenix Army’s garrison, and it is considered a top-notch ‘luxury mansion’!
The big brothers of several gangs in the city have already made a noise, and they are quite interested in the "Huang Family Mansion"!
If the two old servants don't come back, then... these scoundrels will be unable to help but take action.
No, before those rogues take action, Huang Yu and Huang Lang will starve to death.
Hunger, hunger... Two lines of dry tears flowed down from the corners of Topaz's eyes. He never knew that hunger was so uncomfortable.
Even if you have the cultivation level of the second level of Chonglou Realm, you still have to eat. Not only that, the energy and nutrition that the cultivator needs to replenish is far beyond that of ordinary people. You must not only eat enough, but also eat well. Ordinary grains and cereals cannot satisfy the appetite of cultivators.
Topaz felt that his stomach and intestines had begun to digest itself.
Hunger, dizziness rippled out of the stomach and intestines, Huang Yu's whole body became weak, his eyes were black, and a wisp of soul seemed to be about to float out of his body.
Huang Lang's weak voice came from the south room: "Yu'er... You are more or less the cultivation level of the second level of Chonglou Realm. You are the son of my Huang family... Your father, your uncle, uncle, and your brothers and sisters, it's hard to say whether they die or live... My Huang family's hope is all in you."
"You have to cheer up...or else, my Huang family will be completely finished."
A mouthful of sour water appeared in Topaz's throat.
He took a deep breath, got up from the bed tremblingly, and supported his knees with both hands and gasped.
Sweat continued to emerge, and the magic power in the body was almost dry.
Topaz suddenly felt regretful.
Back then, he might have been a "lowly" physical practice that he never expected to see, and practiced those military physical practice techniques?
If he was a physical cultivation, his current situation would definitely be much better.
Physical cultivation represents strong physical strength and strong physical defense, which means that as long as he carries a knife and a sword, he can be careful on the edge of the jungle and hunt some prey.
But he is a pure Dharma practitioner, born with a beautiful and elegant style, but his body is very fragile.
A slightly more ferocious beast can kill him with just one claw.
In this wilderness, when you have the same cultivation level, your physical cultivation's ability to survive is at least a hundred times that of Dharma cultivation...
"If..." Huang Yu raised his thin, reed stick-like hand and muttered in a low voice.
"Yu'er..." Huang Lang screamed weakly again: "Think about a solution, now our grandfather, only you still have cultivation... Have you learned the spells that grandfather passed on you a few days ago?"
Huang Yu's mouth twitched for a moment, stood up slowly, moved out of the door step by step, and walked towards the courtyard gate to the east.
Practice magic?
Haha, I am so hungry that I am almost dead. How can I practice magic?
Do you need to replenish your magic power by consuming it? You are almost starving to death. Where can you have the energy to meditate?
There is not a single spiritual herb or a single spiritual pill. Cultivate?
Huang Yu trembled and came to the gate of the yard, leaning against the door frame, staring blankly at the muddy "road" under the earthblock.
Two loyal old servants, where are you?
Are you alive?
Have you successfully hunted?
You must live, you must not give up on your master and young master!
There was another "gurgle" sound in Huangyu's stomach. He opened his mouth and finally vomited a mouthful of sour water, which made his throat hurt.
‘Dang, Dangdang’!
A few days ago, a few rogues who were still wandering in front of Huang Yu's house were holding a huge gong, beating all the way, shouting loudly and walking over from the earthbowl.
"Everyone, listen well, hey... My military leader is kind and gives you a chance to eat your food."
"My army mainly builds a city, everyone goes to help, rice, white flour, and all kinds of refined grains are enough!"
"Well done, worked hard, served with good wine and meat."
"Listen, hey, our army mainly builds the city. You damn miscellaneous people, hurry up and work, you will be so beautiful!"
"Also, I've listened to it. Are you a literate person who can keep accounts? Are you proficient in government affairs and know about logistics management? Are you a craftsman who knows how to coordinate construction and manage craftsmen? If so, you will be well-developed!"
"Our military chief recruits staff, those who are literate, those who can write, and those who can make good decisions, especially those who can communicate with various documents... hurry up and apply for the job, our military chief recruits staff."
"Once I become the chief aide of my army, I will be popular, drink spicy food, and have a lot of gold coins, and I will turn over in an instant."
Huang Yu stayed there, and he stared blankly at the rogues who were beating the gongs, and suddenly realized that these guys were wearing standard military uniforms.
Topaz shuddered.
He seemed to see countless flames, countless black smoke, countless swords and swords fell from the air with cold light, and arrows flew rapidly in his ears. He could even feel the cold murderous aura on the arrow.
He saw that his father, his mother, and so many of his tribesmen disappeared in the fireworks...
He saw that Huang Yan was kicked to the ground by someone, and then he stepped on him a few heavy steps.
Only he was hiding in a gap between the foundation of the wooden house, staring blankly like a toad that was stunned by thunder, staring at all this.
As for the state army...
After that night, no more state troops appeared in Daze City...
Huang Yu shivered and took two steps back.
He can read, write, count and keep accounts, write and draw.
But become the aide to the commander of the state army?
hehe……
A breeze passed by Huang Yu, and his cultivation was ruined. He had become old. He had been hungry for a few days. Huang Yan, who had been dying from hunger, gritted his teeth, his eyes raised, his eyes were emitting a shiny light, and his hands stretched out straight forward, staggering and snatched past Huang Yu.
"Brothers... your army mainly recruits staff? I am not talented, but I have some skills. These activities arranged in a coordinated manner are the duty. When I was young, I also presided over the construction of several big cities, which is a familiar activity!"
Huang Lang screamed, "Eat and drink, hurry up... Otherwise, I will starve to death and die of thirst. You one by one, aren't you afraid that your military leader will settle the score with you? Talents are rare!"
Huang Lang laughed loudly, and his saliva splashed everywhere, and his smile was extremely rampant.
"You group of killing thousands of swords, you can fight and kill each one, but if you want to know how to do things, you still have to use talents like me!" Huang Lang straightened his waist, and his thin and black face suddenly showed an inexplicable brilliance.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the princess's mansion in the county where he once ruled, and became the noble princess again.
A few rogues who were beating the gong heard Huang Lang's scolding, and they turned around and pointed at Huang Lang and were about to curse... But in a flash, the few people suppressed the anger in their hearts, filled with smiles, and hurriedly bowed to Huang Lang.
"Oh, you... really understand these things? Hey, you have good luck, but this is a step to reach the sky!"
"Our military commander said deliberately that people like you... need to be valued... we have to be polite to you!"
To be continued...
