Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 203: Lu Qitou
At noon, the sun is scorching.
The sun is as poisonous as fire.
Lu Tong leaned against the door and looked outside lazily.
I just had lunch and I should take a walk when I’m full, but the sun is too poisonous and there’s really no place to walk.
"Pibo!"
There was a sudden noise nearby.
He raised his eyebrows, smiled on his face, and walked towards the next door.
Next door, the appearance of Guanhe Inn has changed drastically:
Glazed tiles, covered with sand;
Carved doors and windows, flowers withered;
The mahogany pillars are thick and full of cracks.
In just over four months, it changed from a colorful phoenix to a yellow native chicken.
The desert is different from the outside.
The wind and sand are strong, and the colored tiles are not resistant to dirt. Fan Shun and Wu Nan scrubbed every day and persisted for two months before finally giving up.
The sun is so strong that ordinary wood cannot withstand the sun.
Lu Tong stood next to the pillar, found a fresh crack, and shouted: "Brother Fan, there is a big crack."
Fan Shun came out shaking his fan, stared at the crack, and after a few breaths he said with a smile: "This crack has a majestic trend, it looks a bit like Shence Mountain."
"Really? When the wind blows, the sand will fill in and it will look more like a mountain."
Fan Shun shook his head and said: "There used to be a few people who were taken advantage of, but now it looks like no one will come."
Lu Tong feels the same way.
"Just wrap it in mud and turn the private room into a Datong shop. At least we can attract some gold diggers."
Fan Shun winked at the inn and stopped talking.
Behind the door.
The flamingo rolled his eyes slyly and ran upstairs to make a report.
Soon, Wu Nan's voice came from upstairs: "Fan Shun, wipe the colored tiles again this afternoon."
Fan Shun didn't seem to hear it and ignored it.
The two stood at the door, chatting.
At this moment, there are only a few people on the street.
A tall and thin man came from a distance.
There is a big flag on the shoulder and two yellow horses in the hand.
Lu Tong stared at the big horse in front and asked: "Is this the yellow lion horse under the command of the tower master?"
Fan Shun glanced at it, nodded and said: "Yes. The mane is like a lion, and the bloodline has been awakened, but it is a pity that the soul has been sealed."
Many monsters are used to eat meat or do hard work, pull carts, carry goods, be kept in captivity, etc. If their intelligence is too high, it will do bad things.
So he was sealed since he was a child, and he worked hard without complaint.
He stared at the middle-aged man and glanced at the banner again.
The flagpole is ten feet long, with a yellow flag cloth and two big characters "Sacrifice to the Wolf" on it.
Leading horses and sending flags?
Each flaghead has a flag.
He couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
When a middle-aged man passed by the inn.
Lu Tong shouted: "Hey, which one are you looking for?"
"Shopkeeper Lu from Liangyao Tea Tavern."
"I am."
The middle-aged man was a little suspicious. He turned around and saw the sign of the tea shop.
Fan Shundao: "He is the shopkeeper next door."
The middle-aged man believed it and immediately leaned the flag against the wall, cupped his hands and said: "Zhao Xijiang, the little flag bearer, has seen the flag head!"
He nodded and walked to the horse.
Two yellow horses, one tall and one short.
One foot and two feet tall, with shiny yellow hair all over its body. On the neck, the half-foot-long mane is like a clump of golden threads.
The other one is six feet tall and has a messy coat.
"Mine?"
"Yes, the golden lion horse raised in the tower, Flag Tou, has awakened its bloodline."
Lu Tong walked around the horse, patted his belly and touched his fur.
The golden lion horse was very docile and motionless.
He took the flag again and poured mana into it.
The flag swung itself in the windless air, sending out bursts of cool breeze. Walking to the middle of the road, he waved vigorously a few times, and suddenly a strong wind roared, kicking up large amounts of dust.
"Not bad, are you the only flag bearer?"
"It's just me now. If the flag leader needs it, he can apply to Tali, and he can bring up to ten."
"Okay."
Lu Tong looked up and down at his only subordinate.
Tall and thin, with a sallow complexion, about forty years old. His hair was messy and spread out, and he was in the late stage of Qi training state.
Zhao Xijiang felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he forced out a smile and said: "Flag leader, why don't you go and see the place of duty first?"
He shook his head and pointed his finger at the sky.
"Don't worry, wait until the sun goes down before going."
……
Sunset and dusk.
The heat has subsided.
In the distance, there was the sound of building a house.
Lu Tong sat on a golden lion horse and said, "It's been so long and these people haven't built their houses yet?"
Around the tea tavern, all the pavements and shops were completed two months ago, and the street was also paved with a layer of finely patterned mud bricks.
After leaving the Fifth Ring Street, many places are still building houses.
Zhao Xijiang followed behind, carrying a big flag, and said: "Flag leader, things are shipped slowly. Those of us in the tower have priority, and those outside have to wait slowly."
People in the tower, people outside the tower.
Lu Tong was originally from outside the tower. After becoming the flag leader, he became a native of the tower, and he was still a small leader.
He doesn't care about this.
However, I heard that the Sacrifice Wolf Castle was besieged by the Sand Fox before. The casualties among the people in the tower were very small, while the casualties outside the tower were nearly 30%.
Outside the Tenth Ring Street, a large area of sandy land was reclaimed and turned into a Sha Tin.
Jiao wheat, Salon ginseng, etc. are planted in the fields.
A small earthen house stands alone on the edge of a sand field.
Zhao Xijiang tied the horse and said: "Qitou, this is our house. You can just rest in the house and occasionally go out for a walk. We are responsible for going from Path A to Path B and between the two exits."
Lu Tong stood at the door, staring at the door, frowning slightly.
There is an arrow stuck in the door.
He pulled out the arrow, grabbed both ends with both hands, and bent it hard.
After a crisp sound of bone cracking, the arrow shaft split into two, and the cross section was hollow.
Bone arrows are very expensive.
This arrow is intact and can be recycled. Someone deliberately left it on the door.
"Have you seen this arrow before?"
"No, not when I went home last time."
Lu Tong looked towards the direction of the tower.
Not far away, there were many sheds erected, and families were having dinner under the sheds. ~IndoMTL.com~ Go find out when it was shot. ”
"Yes."
Soon, Zhao Xijiang came back and said: "Boss, someone shot an arrow from a distance in Shatian this morning."
A glint flashed in his eyes, he nodded, opened the door and entered the hut.
The interior decoration of the house is very simple.
A wooden bed, a table, three and a half chairs, a stove, firewood, etc.
Lu Tong used his magic power, dried the debris on the bed, spread an animal skin on it, and sat cross-legged on it.
"Take the flag and go on a patrol. If you have anything, call me back."
"Yes."
Zhao Xijiang goes out.
He exhaled softly, feeling that something was about to happen.
Before anyone arrives, shoot an arrow to establish your authority.
People are here, and they will probably come over soon to test the effectiveness of establishing authority.
Not long after, there was a commotion outside the house.
Zhao Xijiang opened the door and came in, saying: "Flag head, the people from Doumen Tower are here to ask for an explanation."
"What do you mean?"
"We want compensation because our people destroyed their crops and ginseng seedlings."
Lu Tong was ready to ask again.
A man ran in, threw himself to the ground, and cried loudly: "Qitou! Please make the decision for us, Flag Tou!"
One was followed by two or three more.
"Flaghead! The bully from Doumenta said that we destroyed his fields and pushed down the pillars of my house, and he asked us to pay for it!"
"My family is the same. After a few arguments, my husband was buried in the sand and almost died..."
There was a lot of chatter in the small hut.
He frowned and said: "Quiet."
The crying and shouting stopped.
Lu Tong looked at a few people and said, "The people from Doumen Tower are here again?"
"Here we come, asking for money again."
"There are two wild hyenas at the shed."
He immediately stood up and said: "Lead the way."
