Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 171 Completed yesterday and the day before yesterday

The initial evolution seemed to improve physical fitness, and Anjie, Mark, and Mary seemed to be tirelessly busy until evening.

"Master, all the flax ropes around here have been used up." Mark bared his chest and panted.

An Jie put down the wood in his hand and looked in the direction of Mark. He saw rows of wooden houses stuck between two rows of wooden houses, and the front of the wooden houses was covered with half-deep traps.

The evening sunset broke free from the blood-red sky, and the golden sunset shone on Juma, the wooden house seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

In a wooden house next to it, the fragrance of food came from the crack in the door.

Mary put all the wheat into the pot, and under the heat of the wood fire, bubbles rose from the pot one by one, and the wheat grains floated in the water.

Mark surrounded An Jie and walked towards the house. After a day's work, they were really tired.

Walking into the house, Mark closed the reinforced door, and if the mutants rushed past the rejection horse, they would hide in the house.

"Mark, tomorrow morning, I will use the ice cone to kill those mutants, and you are mainly responsible for protecting me with the large shield." An Jie sat on the chair, feeling comfortable all over.He spread his hands, and there were several blisters on them.

"Okay, sir." Mark nodded in agreement.

"Mary, you will hide in the house at that time. If a mutant rushes past the rejecting horse, we will hide in the house. You are responsible for protecting the safety of the house. When we come in, you will close the door immediately."

"As you order, sir."

Mary came out with bowls of wheat porridge.

After eating, the three of them began to rest, on the beds made of thatched piles, Mary and Mark lay in the hall, and Anjie lay in the room.

The night swept across the land like ink, and there seemed to be a giant beast with a bloody mouth hidden in the dark night, quietly waiting for the prey to enter its mouth.

In the silent night, there were bursts of howls from time to time, and the howls of the mutants were like sharp spikes, piercing the dead night.

An Jie stood up and looked towards the warehouse with some unease. Something seemed to have happened there.

……

inside the warehouse
A middle-aged man with a wooden spear was caught with several bloodstains on his face, and a sturdy middle-aged woman stood beside him.

"Aunt Carey, it has nothing to do with you. Get out of here quickly, or I'll kill you too." The middle-aged man with a spear stared closely at the fat woman in front of him.

"Go away, I don't know what kind of trick you are playing." Carey protected the woman behind him.

The night seemed to be a veil, rustling sounds came, one man after another woke up and stood up, Kaili felt that there were green hungry wolves braving under the dark night.

Carey took a few steps back unconsciously, and the woman behind her followed closely behind. The front, in the darkness, seemed to be approaching step by step.

Carey's heart sank to the bottom, who would be hiding in the dark night?The people in the warehouse are all from a village, people who often meet each other, but in the dark night, they seem to have lost their mask and become strangers.

The sound of light footsteps came, and it seemed to be ringing in the ears. Kaili took a look, but there was nothing in the darkness. Suddenly, the woman behind him screamed, and the man hiding in the night seemed to be encouraged. The exclamations behind Carey sounded one after another.

The screams of the women also attracted the mutants outside the door, and the sound of abscessed palms beating the warehouse door suddenly came to mind, and the warehouse suddenly fell silent.

The warehouse was dead silent, very dark, and the howls of mutants came from outside the door, when suddenly a light appeared in the warehouse.

After the light, there was an old, wrinkled old John.The faint candlelight hit everyone's face.

A middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes holding a spear cloth, Aunt Carey with a fierce face, a frightened woman, and a skinny man with a wretched face.

Under the candlelight, they seemed to put on the mask again, and they separated slightly, looking at Old John.

"What should we do next? These monsters have been guarding here, and we have no water to drink." The eyes of the middle-aged man holding the spear were bloodshot.

"Wait! Only a quiet warehouse will calm the monster outside the door." Old John didn't know how to do it, but he knew that they could live another day only if they could stay peaceful until dawn.

The middle-aged man stared closely at Old John, turned his head away after a while, and sat down. The tense situation was immediately relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no sound in the dark and dead warehouse, only a small candle kept the light on. The orange candlelight hit everyone's face, and there was a trace of warmth in the candlelight, which seemed to calm everyone down.

A candle went out, and the warehouse was plunged into darkness again, but there was no movement at all, and everyone seemed to be sitting in place.The only thing that alarmed them was the roar of mutants outside the warehouse.

Finally, a ray of light came in through the crack of the door, and the warm morning light dispelled the darkness and silence in the warehouse, and everyone seemed to come alive gradually.

Old John moved his frozen body, feeling a little happy in his heart. The light came, and they could live another day, but he didn't have any extra candles.

……

At the same time, rustling noises began to be heard in the dilapidated house where An Jie and the others lived. Mary and Mark climbed up from the thatched bed lightly, and they secretly looked into the house. The nobleman inside The master doesn't seem to be up yet.After the two looked at each other, Mary walked towards the kitchen, lit up the firewood, and prepared to heat up the leftover wheat porridge from last night.Mark walked out of the house lightly, as if to reinforce the repelling horse and check the trap.

After a while, An Jie woke up slowly.There seemed to be a lot of commotion in the warehouse last night. The people in the warehouse will be fine.

An Jie tidied up his clothes, hurriedly walked outside, opened the door, and walked into the hall. He looked aside and saw Mary adding firewood to the kitchen.

"Where did Mark go?"

"Master, he went outside the house. He may be checking the traps he set up last night, or he may have gone to observe the mutants outside the warehouse." Mary's face was blackened by the smoke, and she was adding firewood to the fire at this time. "Sir, this is all our food."

"It's okay, there are houses everywhere. Even if we can't take down the warehouse, we won't be short of food in a short time." An Jie is still very careful about his only food manager. Seeing that Mary was a little uneasy, An Jie continued Encouragement: "These mutants are just monsters who have no brains and only know how to rampage. The traps we set up are not a problem even if they deal with dozens of mutants."

Thinking of the round earth pits full of sharp sharp logs and the rows of horses behind the traps, it would be very difficult even for a master knight in full armor to cross them.

"Mary, when is the food in Sam's village usually harvested? Are there many farmers outside the village?"

Although every household in the countryside has the habit of storing grain, these grains are one-time use, and they are only a drop in the bucket. If we want to absorb the survivors in the village and expand the team in the future, we must have enough grain.Then this batch of grain that is about to be harvested is very important, at least to ensure that they will not have food problems in a short time.

"Master, according to the annual practice, the ears of wheat will be ripe in the next month, and they can be harvested at that time." Mary said while fiddling with firewood.

Is there another month?A sense of urgency suddenly rose in An Jie's heart. If he wanted to harvest this batch of grain, he must first have enough manpower, and he had to build an army. Otherwise, how could he deal with the dozens of mutations outside the village alone? people.

In addition, An Jie still has a deep sense of fear hidden in his heart. Human beings are mutated under this energy, will animals do it?Will plants?Will the enemies outside the village be just mutants?Can mutated wheat still be eaten?
An Jie walked towards the outside of the house while thinking. He planned to observe the mutants outside the warehouse. In any case, he had to take down the warehouse first. Only when there was enough food could he rescue the survivors and feed more people. People, when the time comes, they will have a better chance of surviving.

Walking out of the house, the warm sun shone on his body warmly. An Jie looked up, the sky was still full of blood, and the morning sun shone on the ground through the blood-red clouds.

An Jie just looked around for a while, and then saw Mark's figure. At this time, he was holding a stone to sharpen his spear.

"Master, you're awake." Seeing An Jie's figure, Mark stood up quickly, put the spear in his hand, and saluted An Jie.

"Mark, take me to see the mutants outside the warehouse." Looking at Mark, who bowed at the cat's waist, An Jie ordered.

"Yes, master, please follow me. Remember not to make any noise." Mark took the spear in his hand and led Anjie towards the warehouse.

The wooden house where An Jie and the others lived was not far from the warehouse, but Mark led him around a few big circles, walking along the eaves and corners all the way to the right of the warehouse.

"Master, please look, this is the warehouse."

An Jie looked forward in the direction Mark pointed, and the green mutants dripping with pus wandered around the warehouse as if they didn't know how tired they were. Some of them were mutated middle-aged men with bloated faces and short arms and legs. But the little mutant with a fierce face, the mutant with a protruding belly, the ground is full of dense footprints, and the stinky saliva slowly flows to their feet along the corners of their mouths, intertwined with the yellow and white excrement road, Has an unpleasant pungent odor.

An Jie held his breath and carefully looked at the group of mutants surrounding the warehouse door. There were more mutants than what Mark said last time. An Jie counted them. There were 4 mutants from children and 3 mutants from middle-aged women. human and 5 middle-aged male mutants.

The fangs at the corners of their mouths protrude slightly, their lips are turned outwards, and the jagged teeth are densely arranged in their mouths.Among them, An Jie found a mutant holding a sharp stone in his hand.An Jie cast his gaze there, and saw that the mutant was obviously taller and stronger than the surrounding mutants, and there seemed to be a black thing on his chest, which was also located closest to the warehouse gate.

An Jie then set his sights on the door of the warehouse. Fortunately, the door of the warehouse was intact.The warehouse has a cylindrical shape with a thatched conical roof. Next to the warehouse is a thatched wooden house, which seems to have two white round stones. A small stream passes by the wooden house.

"My lord, that's Knight Sam's mill. This knight Sam is a very happy and stupid man. I heard that Earl William's mill is a water mill. He also wanted to build one, but halfway through the construction, he found that the water mill was too expensive. , he couldn't afford to build it, so it became like this. And the Sam knight ordered that Sam village can only have this mill, and anyone who wants to use his mill has to hand in the grain. Otherwise, he has to go to the blacksmith village next door Borrowing their mill, although Master William doesn't mind, but the people in the blacksmith village don't want outsiders to use their mill." Mark said angrily.

"Where is the blacksmith village? Isn't there any knight directly under that village?" An Jie looked at Mark.

"Master, no, the Blacksmith Village is the territory directly under Baron William, and it has not been confiscated. In fact, it is impossible for Baron William to confiscate it. There is an iron mine near the Blacksmith Village, and most of the blacksmiths in the Baron In Blacksmith Village." Mark explained the importance of Blacksmith Village to An Jie, then he pointed to the south, and continued: "Blacksmith Village is just south of Lamu Village, and the direction is easy to identify, it is impossible to follow the flow The Leine River in Sam's Village goes south, and it can reach the small town of William."

An Jie let out a "hmm", then signaled Mark to retreat, and then they followed the corner of the wall, made another big circle and returned to the place where they set the trap.

At this time, Mary had already cooked the food and was looking around outside the house, apparently looking for Anjie and Mark.

Sure enough, after seeing the figures of the two, Mary waved to them quickly, and An Jie and Mark trotted over and walked into the house.

Mary hurriedly brought up the cooked porridge, there were three big bowls in total, but if you looked closely, you would find that the wheat grains in Mary's porridge were a little sparser. According to yesterday's plan, the next thing to do was to attack the mutants outside the warehouse door Go, she wanted Mark to eat more, but she didn't have the guts to exploit Master Anjie's rations, so she could only start with herself.

But Mark and An Jie didn't pay attention to this. After a few sips, the porridge in the wooden bowl was finished. At this time, Mark could no longer suppress the fear on his face, and he said with some concern: "Master , are we really going to deal with those monsters? There are several more mutants outside the warehouse than yesterday, can we really kill them?"

"Yes, we must be able. This is our only way out. Only when we capture the granary will we have enough food to survive the winter, and we will have enough food to absorb the survivors, and we will have a chance to survive." An Jie Standing up slowly, looking outside, the rows of sturdy horses were shining brightly under the sunlight.

"Mark, back then I was able to kill four mutants with my own hands. Now that we have set up enough traps, we will definitely be able to defeat these monsters. After we capture the warehouse, I will personally confer you as my knight." An Jie Said confidently.This confidence gradually infected Mark and Mary, and they were full of confidence in the next battle.
