Chapter 242: Boss Lang's Troubles
Jiang Shun had heard rumors long ago that because the breakthrough cost a lot, the blood and qi of the newly promoted Wu Zong were actually very "weak", and it was best to supplement with precious medicine to quickly stabilize the state.
Qiu Wu's legs were weak, which was obviously very "weak", so he had to replenish himself.
These corpses can be exchanged for high-quality exotic food and exotic beast meat, eggs and milk, so that Qiu Wu can replenish his strength with food and medicine as soon as possible.
Qiu Wu also heard this kid mumbling with Sha Liu and the others, and turned his head away with a dark face, pretending not to hear.
This bastard! He is very smart, but he is just a talker. He always talks about those things and always mentions the embroiderer Liu Guafu in the town.
Although Liu Guafu did have that intention, and her appearance was not bad, her skin was fair, and her figure was plump and round... cough cough, but her two stepdaughters were obviously interested in Jiang Shun!
This kid was embarrassed, so he pulled his fifth uncle out to take the blame.
Qiu Wu glanced at the returning convoy, and saw two girls, one tall and one short, rushing out first and heading straight for Jiang Shun, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
He felt gloating in his heart: If you pull me to block the bullet again, will these Er Ni and Xiao Ya let you go? Add to that the two daughters of Widow Liu, your Jiang family ancestors will be happy, and it all depends on you to expand.
Of course, these dirty jokes were only said between the two of them in private.
The two were very different in age, but they got along very well. Qiu Wu even didn't go to Beimo City to take care of Jiang Shun and the others, but stayed near Zhenbei City, which was relatively safe.
Jiang Shun joked, but he knew very well in his heart that he never said anything about Qiu Wu.
He really thought that Widow Liu was suitable for Qiu Wu, with good looks, gentle personality, and careful work.
And she always thought that Qiu Wu was a martial artist, kind, hardworking, and a good man even if he lost an arm.
Although Qiu Wu is over 40, he rarely comes into contact with women. He is too straightforward and stubborn.
If he really finds a woman who is too smart, Jiang Shun is really afraid that his honest uncle Wu will be led by the nose by the other party.
So Liu Guafu is good, and it is no problem to find more. She will definitely not say anything, but some women who are too smart and arrogant may not be like that.
It can only be said that this big and small are worried about each other's lifelong affairs.
After the convoy returned, they dispersed and collected some abandoned vehicles from the side.
After loading all the corpses of the strange creatures onto the car, the group continued their journey and headed towards Zhenbei City.
Qiu Wu was entangled by Jiang Shun and others, so he could only sit in the carriage to rest and save energy.
While swaying, he looked at the faces of a group of children, and there was no longer the previous panic, but they were happily discussing the fact that he had just shown his power and wiped out a group of strange creatures.
Qiu Wu couldn't help but smile: Thank you Xianshan, thank you Zhan Wang. Although this world is dangerous, there is always some hope.
…
In the far north of the East Sea, a hundred miles away from the sea, in the city of Mingzhou.
In the evening, the afterglow of the sun shone on Boss Lang's face.
His expression was very gloomy. He stood on a four-story building in the city, staring at the distance outside the city.
A vague black shadow shuttled through the grass and crops in the distance, and the howling of monsters came from time to time.
"Gan Li Niang! A bunch of mad dogs, sooner or later I will kill you all for the precious medicine." He cursed, but his heart was a little bitter.
But the current situation is that when Langtao Village retreated, a large number of monsters were found approaching.
Accompanying the wives and children of his brothers in the village, Boss Lang had to retreat to Mingzhou Prefecture nearby.
But Mingzhou Prefecture was only a medium-sized city, and the garrison troops could barely defend the city.
Take the initiative to attack? I'm afraid it's powerless.
In this way, the old, weak, women and children of Langtao Village, as well as him, the chief of the village, were trapped here.
Moreover, Mingzhou City is only more than a hundred miles away from the sea. Monsters can reinforce or retreat by sea, which is both concealed and fast.
In this case, the fairy mountain will not descend.
In recent years, the fairy mountain has descended many times, and whether it is human, ghost or monster, they have roughly figured out the rules.
Therefore, each action will take the fairy mountain into consideration.
In previous years, these monsters must have gathered their strength and destroyed the city in one wave.
Now, they dare not.
Once the number of gatherings is large, the fairy mountain will immediately descend and kill, and clear the field in one wave.
This is a good thing for the people of Dawu, but it is a bit painful for Boss Lang personally.
To put it badly, Langtao Village does not have to fight desperately, and a large number of relatives are safe and sound. It is undoubtedly great.
To put it well, the monsters trapped them here, cutting off the inside and outside, and it is difficult for Boss Lang to be happy.
He has experienced ups and downs in these years, but at least he is not ups and downs.
The current Langtao Village is quite powerful. Although it is not famous in the East China Sea, it is also well-known.
It’s a pity that Boss Lang and a group of his direct subordinates came to their senses too late and missed several important blessings from the immortal mountain.
Now the most influential person in the village is not him, but... Wang Xiaomai’s family.
Who dares to believe that his first wife followed Wang Xiaomai and became a second-wheel master!
Even if the first wife is only a second-wheel fourth-turn, she has one more characteristic than him, and the effect of floating on the water is much stronger than him.
How can the dignified Langda Village Master not be able to suppress his wife? How can he reason with this?
Moreover, this first wife was once demoted to the second wife by him. Later, she became a second-wheel master and was very close to Wang Xiaomai, so she regained the position of the first wife.
But at that time, people no longer valued the position of the first wife.
Only because Wang Xiaomai had always been harmonious with her husband, the first wife of Lang Lao Da maintained her status and did not propose a divorce.
In fact, the first wife had never given birth to a child, and she stopped sleeping with Lang Lao Da after she became successful in martial arts.
She just followed Wang Xiaomai every day, indulging in weaving, farming, working and practicing martial arts.
After this woman was promoted to a second-wheel master, her life span increased greatly, and her blood was full. At first glance, she looked like a young woman, without any signs of aging.
Of course, Lang Lao Da, a second-wheel master, did not lack such a beautiful woman.
But his own second-wheel master was turned into a follower of another family by him, and he could not command him at all, so he was very depressed.
But he couldn't say anything because he was with Wang Xiaomai.
Wang Xiaomai's supporters were basically all the wives and children of the brothers in the old village.
In recent years, a large number of young people with good strength and the prospect of second-wheel joined Lang Lao Da's men. They all followed their mothers when they were young and worked and practiced martial arts with Wang Xiaomai's family.
These people are usually loyal to him, but they will never agree to him touching Wang Xiaomai's family.
Now he comes to pick up these old, weak, women and children, that is, the relatives of these people, almost all of whom are from the old village.
The new village outside the old village is larger and has more people. The words of Boss Lang are more effective on the surface, but they are not reliable in reality.
Gu Chen
For more than 20 years, the old village has been his most stable backing. Except that he cannot show off his power, the material personnel have been fully supporting the expansion of Langtao Village.
On the contrary, the people in the new village are mixed. After a few days of good life, there are always people who want to overthrow the superiors and occupy the magpie's nest.
There have been two or three major rebellions, and dozens of minor ones. There are more than a thousand rebellious people killed one after another.
Of course, there are six new villages of Langtao Village, large and small, with nearly 100,000 people.
It took more than 20 years for this rebellion to happen, which is already a great skill and amazing strength for Boss Lang.
This time, for the sake of the people of the old village, he had to come back to organize a retreat.
It was the human heart. If he didn't show up in the new village for a long time, someone might take the supplies from his village and run away.
Poor Boss Lang was full of sorrow and depression, and he had nowhere to talk.
At this time, a buttery roast chicken was handed to him: "Uncle Lang, it's time for dinner."
Boss Lang was interrupted and grabbed the roast chicken, and asked sideways: "Qingmiao, has your family eaten?"
Li Qingmiao, who was already in his twenties, was tall and strong, with lively eyes and a smiling face, which was very pleasing.
Hearing the question, he nodded and answered: "I was about to eat, my father asked me to send some to Uncle Lang to fill my stomach first."
Lao Da Lang tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it in, and tore off one for himself, took a bite and said: "Qingmiao, we are afraid that we will be trapped in Mingzhou City. If we delay any longer, there may be trouble in Xinzhai."
Li Qingmiao also took a bite of the chicken leg and nodded: "Xianshan warned that the demons are powerful this time. Xinzhai is indeed unsafe without Uncle Lang's pressure."
This kid's strength is there, and Lao Da Lang has long stopped putting on the boss's airs, but flexibly used his uncle's identity and asked directly: "Can your mother think of any solution?"
He was actually asking if Wang Xiaomai could ask Xianshan for help.
This is not wishful thinking, Xianshan also has to consider the distance and closeness.
Over the years, although the old village people have not seen it with their own eyes, they can guess that Wang Xiaomai's family is favored by Xianshan.
It was this family that first set up the Shennong God Tablet and treated it sincerely.
Boss Lang is much smarter than most people, so he naturally noticed this earlier.
Li Qingmiao smiled and gnawed on the chicken leg: "Uncle Lang, just give up, I don't want to be beaten by my mother."
Boss Lang hurriedly followed: "Your mother loves you so much that she can't bear to beat you. Just ask for Uncle Lang?"
"Uncle Lang, don't fool me. I just slapped my head in front of you yesterday." Li Qingmiao shook his head repeatedly.
Immediately, he put his arm around Boss Lang's shoulders and changed the subject: "Uncle Lang, if someone in the new village dares to be dishonest, our brothers in the old village will definitely help you. If they dare to touch a hair in the village, they will spit double."
Boss Lang was a little disappointed, but a little relieved. After all, this was a bottom line.
While talking, the howling of monsters sounded, which was much more frequent than before.
The two looked at it and frowned together.
The shadowy monsters outside the city were approaching.
Since the area of dozens of miles around the city is all farmland and there are no tall plants to block the view, the second-round masters can easily see the trajectory of their movements.
Boss Lang watched for a moment and said in a deep voice: "They are going to take action."
Li Qingmiao nodded, but was a little puzzled: "How many monsters can they dare to gather? If there are too few, they can't break through the city. If there are too many, aren't they afraid of attracting the immortal mountain?"
Boss Lang snorted: "You don't go out much, so you don't know the strength of this Mingzhou city. There are usually only two martial masters here, and they are not strong among the same level."
Li Qingmiao heard this, and observed and felt the monsters outside the city, and suddenly realized: "There should be hundreds of demon generals and two demon kings coming this time. They want to rely on the demon generals to drag down the martial masters in the city."
Boss Lang nodded : "With this strength, Xianshan may not waste its energy on them."
After a pause, he shook his head again: "Not necessarily, maybe they still want to test the bottom line of Xianshan. If these monsters outside the city cannot attract Xianshan, they can use this power to deal with the weaker prefectures, and some prefectures will be breached."
Li Qingmiao was silent, and after a moment he said: "Are monsters so smart?"
Boss Lang sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, monsters are just ugly, not stupid. Especially monsters above monster generals are smarter than most people."
At this time, the city was filled with low horn sounds.
Boss Lang jumped down the stairs: "Let's go and kill the monsters, otherwise no one will give us exotic food."
Li Qingmiao followed immediately.
A group of men from Langtao Village also rushed out from the first-floor gate and followed the two men to the city wall.
They didn't need to worry about the old, weak, women and children left behind. The old women in the old village were all warriors, and there were no fewer second-wheel masters than men.
Boss Lang brought people back mainly to lead the way and arrange the retreat itinerary.
The women in the old village really had no experience in this matter, so they had to rely on him.
From this point of view, Boss Lang was able to sit firmly on the throne of the boss of Langtao Village for decades, and it was not in vain.
He was not the best fighter, but he was indispensable.
...Well, Boss Lang actually wanted to be the best fighter, but he really couldn't do it, so he could only find the pain points and seek new value for himself.
A good village chief must worry about what the old women in the old village worry about, otherwise they will worry about him.
As the sun sets and night falls, the sound of fighting gradually comes from the city wall.
…
The next day, more than a dozen women from the old village brought breakfast, steaming big meat buns, with thick porridge and pickles provided by the defenders, which was just right.
Most warriors drink the free thick porridge desperately. Although it is porridge made from ordinary exotic rice, drinking two more bowls can barely hold on.
The food they brought with them is kept to avoid being trapped in the city or running out of food on the road when they leave.
Under the leadership of Wang Xiaomai, the women of Langtao Village have extremely rich family backgrounds. Naturally, they don’t care about this loss. It is more important to ensure the blood and energy of their men.
It is still Lang Lao Da who is cautious and specifically instructs everyone to take turns to go down the city and eat in the house where they rest near the city wall.
Otherwise, if you are trapped in the city, others will drink porridge while you eat meat, even if it is just meat buns, it will be too easy to make people jealous.
When food is really scarce, the defenders in the city will never mind collecting food from these big families first.
The common people are safer because they have too little food. If they rob them, they will have no food to eat, and who will have blood and energy to provide for the protective formation.
Boss Lang quickly killed a dozen buns and climbed up the city wall again, looking at the monsters fighting with the defenders and militia not far away.
Li Qingmiao also came up, chewing the buns he had not swallowed, and asked vaguely: "Uncle Lang, have you found anything?"
Boss Lang's strength is ordinary, but his brain is famous in the old village.
So Qingmiao's mother Wang Xiaomai often reminds him to be careful and not to be fooled by the big village owner.
Li Qingmiao has always kept it in mind.
However, his strength is stronger than Boss Lang now, which should be enough in the future.
As for using the brain, his parents are not good at it, and he has to "learn" from Boss Lang. In the future, he must fart in the quilt-he can be both literary (wen) and martial (hu).
