Mutated Tao Chapter 200: Zhuangzi
On a muddy loess path, Li Huowang and his party returned to normal. Keep going.
It has been several days since I escaped from the town.
At this moment, everyone's face is haggard.
When he came to a slightly flatter place, Li Huowang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuff. "Let's take a break."
As soon as the words came out, everyone collapsed and lay on the ground in disorder. He gasped for breath.
Bai Lingmiao carefully took out the last piece of yellow pancake from his bosom, broke off half of it and put it back, then handed the half to Li Huowang. "Brother Li, here, let's eat."
Li Huowang took a look at her, and stretched out his hand to pinch her stomach, where it was flat.
This move made Bai Lingmiao feel ashamed, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Don't worry, I know you have a big appetite, eat what you need, don't be hungry, I will figure out other things."
"I'm really not hungry, you can eat." Bai Lingmiao pushed the pancake over again.
This time, Li Huowang didn't bother to pick it up again, and reopened the map, looking for ways to replenish food.
There is not enough to eat and use, and it must be replenished as soon as possible.
He had thought about robbing those bandits, but when he thought about the relationship between the bandits and the bandits' army, Li Huowang gave up his idea.
It's hard to tell whether these bandits are the woman's outpost.
It was hard to get rid of success before, and it is not worthwhile to provoke bandits to join the army for some food.
"Snatch ordinary civilians?"
Li Huowang immediately vetoed this idea, he would never do the same animal thing as his master,
I am Li Huowang, not Danyangzi.
Not robbing bandits or oppressing the people, but having to get enough money and food, this is really difficult.
At this moment, Gou Wa walked over with a smile on his face. He grabbed the cake in Bai Lingmiao's hand, but she knocked it off.
"Senior Sister Bai, give it to me, Senior Brother Li is not hungry, I am hungry."
"No, this is all I have now, eat your own!"
"I have already eaten all of them."
"Then you will be hungry, and you will not die after starving for a few days."
Dejected, Gouwa reached into his baggy clothes and scratched his ribs.
He turned around and looked at the other people beside him.
But this time, everyone didn't have anything to eat, not even the most considerate child Yang.
Gradually, his eyes caught sight of the women rescued from the bandit village.
"If I had known that I would throw these girls away and do nothing, it would just waste food, and it would be a complete burden."
Gou Wa's words made those women look terrified. Helplessly cuddled together helplessly.
"Are you a man? Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Chun Xiaoman couldn't see it.
"That's right, am I wrong?"
"Don't...don't leave me behind! I'm useful, I know where there is food, it's not far away, I can take you to borrow it."
These words made other people's eyes focus on the group of women.
It was a woman with a big mouth who was talking, and she was able to have the capital to be robbed by bandits. Obviously, she didn't just rely on her big mouth.
Seeing that everyone else was looking over, the woman lowered her head uncomfortably.
"What you said is true? Can you really get food?"
Li Huowang came over, stood in front of her and asked.
He suddenly realized that he had just gotten into a dead end. With such a group of local people from Houshu leading the way, what map do they need?
"Well, there is a Zhuangzi nearby, and my fourth aunt is in that kind of field, so I can borrow it"
Li Huowang looked at the map in his hand again, and found that there was no mark on it.
"Hehe, there are too many small villages and small villages. How can I bid for this old man." Jin Shan came over and explained embarrassingly.
"Brother, if you don't understand, you don't understand. What are you pretending to do? How much are you delaying the little Taoist?"
Lv Zhuangyuan's ridicule made Jin Shanchao blush, "Brother, I'm not talking nonsense, do you know how many people like this are there in the whole of Houshu?"
"Okay, I don't have time to chat, let's go and have a look first, you take us to your fourth aunt's house."
Li Huowang's words made everyone who was resting stand up.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people followed the woman with a big mouth and walked towards a stone mountain in the distance.
When she came to the foot of the barren rocky mountain, the woman with the big mouth didn't stop, she led the others and began to climb up the lonely mountain.
There is still some way at the beginning, but there is no way at the end, and you need all four limbs to climb up.
Several times, Li Huowang thought that this woman was lying to him, and this dilapidated place didn't look like a place with a village.
It took a lot of effort, but after climbing to the top of the mountain, a scene of a paradise appeared in front of him.
This mountain is Pingdingshan, and there is actually a village on this Pingdingshan.
More importantly, he saw a large area of green fields, which is really rare in the barren Houshu Kingdom.
"Which is crazy and who is full enough to last? I'm exhausted to build Zhuangzi here." Gouwa complained, rubbing his sore legs.
"My old man guesses, maybe to avoid exorbitant taxes and corvee, or to avoid conscription, anyway, it's nothing more than these."
"Hey, if you think about it this way, the people in this world are suffering, and there are so many things to worry about."
"Did the officials in Houshu push people so hard? They forced people to come up the mountain. Our officials are not like this. When farming and harvesting, they only receive 50% of the official grain, and the farmers are exempt from corvee .”
Compared with worse people, Lu Zhuangyuan gained cheap satisfaction.
While they were talking, Li Huowang had already asked the woman with the big mouth where her fourth aunt was, and walked inside.
It looks really peaceful here, every house is clean and bright.
Everything outside doesn't affect this place in the slightest. As if it is really a paradise.
"Brother Li, our village is similar. Although there are fewer people, they are all good people."
Seeing everything in front of him, Bai Lingmiao remembered something, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.
"After settling down, it seems like a good choice to live in such a place with other people in the future." Li Huowang thought to himself.
His keen perception allowed him to hear the voices in the room.
A large group of people from other villages walked into Zhuangzi, which must have attracted the attention of the people in the village.
However, as the woman with a big mouth said her fourth aunt's name accurately, the hostility on their faces became much less.
I thought everything was going in a good direction, but when I heard that my distant relatives came to borrow food, the family didn't even open the door.
The woman with the big mouth stood at the closed gate with two door gods on it, looking at the others in fear.
She couldn't stop crying. He choked up and said: "I really don't know you guys don't leave me and I have no place to go"
The rest of the people who stood still had restlessness on their faces. If you don't have anything to eat, you can only drink the northwest wind.
