Raising the Demon

Chapter 152 A Difficult Winter
The answer is only two words.

More!

More food, more resources, more hope.

As for myself, there are still many things that need to be done, and I really don't have time to be decadent.

The carriage rattled away, and the villagers looked at each other for a few moments, and then they lay back on the road. The Danmu Divine Tree seemed to know their cold, the colder the weather, the hotter the roots.

The tree roots melted the snow, warmed the single clothes on the body, dispelled the cold, and seemed to dispel the hunger in the stomach.

Zi Baifeng traveled all the way, feeling as if he had returned to the hard-seat carriage in his previous life, and he would stop from time to time to let people on the road get out of his way. Yizhen, walking towards the road leading to Daoliu Village, the talent is a little better.

In front of Daoliu Village, Zi Baifeng got out of the car and looked up.

A blast furnace was set up in the direction of Daoliu Village. Faint black smoke rose with the fire, and disappeared after a while. The sound of tinkling day and night was so noisy and full of vitality.

But under this vigorous vitality, there is a hidden worry that is difficult to dispel. Some time ago, Zi Baifeng sent people to several nearby cities to conduct a survey, and the results of the survey made Zi Baifeng very worried.

In the vicinity of Mengcheng, the consumption power has been extremely low. Even if the steel is smelted, there is no place to sell it.

Who wants to tell Liu Dadao and others, but they are not surprised, saying: "Take your time, you can always sell it. It was not the same before. Take advantage of the slack season now, save up first, and wait until the busy season. Time is running out."

Only then did Zi Baifeng realize that he was deluded by the prosperous business of the previous life. How could there be an economy that spans the entire world, covers all major cities, and is supported by a modern logistics system?
Liu Dadao and the others didn't think too much about it. It's better to have something than nothing, and it's better to be able to sell it than not be able to sell it. No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the students who were born a few years ago?

But Zi Baifeng is always not reconciled, his influence is still too small.

A busy winter will soon be over.

Winter goes to spring, the dead trees turn green, the ground sprouts new shoots, the snow on the top of Bird Mouse Mountain melts, the stream surges, and the Meng River becomes much faster. Beside the Meng River, a gray man with a red ribbon tied around his neck The rabbit greedily gnawed the little sprouts that had just emerged from the ground, and the pitiful little greens that had just emerged were eaten up by it.It pursed its mouth, and at this moment, it saw a few pieces of steamed buns thrown by the river, and jade stones joined them.

Just after winter, when the rabbit was thin and weak, it swallowed the piece of cornbread in a few mouthfuls because it was hungry, looked around, and found another piece, so it jumped and chased after it.

Two skinny men were lying in a piece of withered grass by the river, staring nervously at the rabbit. Seeing that the rabbit was about to jump into the trap, who would have thought that the rabbit would turn around, abandon the last piece of cornbread, and run away? Lose.

"Not good!" One of the thin men immediately pulled the slingshot in his hand and pointed it at the rabbit over there.

The slingshot of beef tendon is full of elasticity. If a pebble the size of a pigeon egg hits the rabbit, it may break the rabbit's head.

At this moment, a shout came: "What are you doing!"

The rabbit was frightened, jumped a few times in panic, and hid in the withered grass. Two thin men were annoying and disturbed their good business. Just about to have a fit, when they turned around, they saw two young soldiers in armor, and they were shocked immediately. He jumped, uttered a cry, turned and ran.

"Stop!" How could the two teenagers let them go?One chased after him, and the other bent his bow and set an arrow, threatening: "If you don't stop, don't blame me for being unforgiving!"

"Two major generals, be merciful!" Seeing that the young soldier had really drawn out his bow and arrow, the two of them hurriedly stopped and knelt down with a plop.

"We just want to catch a rabbit..." one of them begged softly, "Major General, please spare your life."

"Jiuyan Township Law, as long as you wear red silk, you must not be hunted or killed." These two young men are exactly the two young men brought by Luo Qianshan back then. One is called Hong Zhi and the other is called Song Bing. After passing the test of the pillars, they were temporarily incorporated into Zi Baifeng's private soldiers, responsible for inspection work, but what they inspected was not the gathering places of human beings, but the gathering places of several monsters.

"We are willing to be imprisoned!" Another person hurriedly said.

Put in prison?Hong Zhi sneered, these people really had their wishful thinking, he waved his hand, a bright light came out, the two screamed and covered their left arm, blood oozed from the left arm.

"Howl, what howl!" They just drew an X-shaped scar on these people, temporarily expelling the Great Seal.

With the influx of many foreign refugees into Jiuyan Township, Zi Baifeng's authority has also been challenged to a certain extent. The decree he promulgated on the coexistence of monsters has basically reached a consensus in Jiuyan Township of Xiayan Village and is well implemented.In Yanyi Town, it will be much worse.And those refugees who poured into Jiuyan Township, no matter whether you wear red silk or not, they will eat as soon as they are caught.

As long as the red silk is worn, it is Zi Baifeng who has paid attention to it before, and specially enlightened it with the formula of raising demons.Many of these little demons have broken through the second level, possessing the intelligence of a human child.

Among them is a little hedgehog that Zi Baifeng pays attention to, and it is expected to be promoted to the third level recently. Who would have thought that he would be caught and eaten by hungry villagers during hibernation? There was only half of the head left, and Zi Baifeng was so angry that his whole body trembled, he summoned his thin legs, and found the villager who ate the hedgehog in spite of Zi Baifeng's ban, and beat him twenty times hard. The villager couldn't get out of bed for a month. Fortunately, after Zi Baifeng finished beating him, he was put in a newly built prison, where he had food and drink, so he didn't starve to death.

Who would have thought that as soon as the incident got out, those little demons in red silk would be in for a bad luck. In the eyes of hungry villagers, this prison is definitely a welfare facility. There is drinking, and the most important thing is not to die of hunger, which is also a good way to deal with it.

It wasn't until Zi Baifeng got really angry that he found someone with an extremely bad plot and cut off a few people's heads, and then stopped the bad trend.Damn it, I'm a national special-level protected animal. If you kill it, I'll kill you!

Coexistence of monsters is not easy, Zi Baifeng has long been prepared psychologically, not to mention that with the expansion of the territory and the increase of people, simple things will become difficult.

Now it is human beings who kill little monsters, but there are actually many extremely dangerous existences among little monsters, such as poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that become demons. A rule has been established to treat human monsters equally, but Zi Baifeng really doesn't want to execute the little monsters he cultivated by himself. What's more, these little monsters will be the foundation for the continuous generation of spiritual energy, so this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed occur.

For people in this world, they are simply not prepared for the coexistence of monsters, let alone the awareness of coexistence of monsters.This also made Zi Baifeng deeply feel that the coexistence of monsters should not be expanded, but should be restrained and limited.So Zi Baifeng spent a long time to gather all the monsters who have become climates to the border of Xiayan Village, or let them live in the remote mountains without human habitation, but the little monsters are like urchins, how can they be so obedient?There are still some little monsters who will come out from the deep mountains.Zi Baifeng could only order people to step up patrols and wander around inaccessible places.

The current Jiuyan Township is sparsely populated, some of the conflicts that have just emerged can be stopped in advance by Zi Baifeng, but more conflicts are blooming everywhere.

At this time, Zi Baifeng had to face up to the harm of refugees.His son, Bai Feng, kindly takes in the refugees, but this is not the hometown of these refugees. They have no awe or love for this land.

Moreover, most of these refugees who caused trouble were refugees from other villages in Mengcheng. Instead, they were those who came from afar and finally found a place to live. They cherished this opportunity to live in peace with the locals.

Not to mention the conflicts between human beings and demons, conflicts between local villagers and refugees also broke out several times, and it is not uncommon for refugees to steal food, clothing, and property from local villagers.There are so many incidents where the refugees want to hunt the little demons, but they are stopped by the local villagers and conflicts break out, which makes Zi Baifeng very sad.

Many times, people's hearts are not as good as monsters, they don't know how to advance and retreat, and they don't know how to be in awe. What's more, they even have an unspeakable jealousy and revenge in their hearts.I am also a citizen of Mengcheng, why should I be hungry, why should you be full?I don't have one, and neither can you!

After preventing a refugee who wanted to burn down the granary, Zi Baifeng was really angry, and a series of severe punishments were promulgated. Anyone who commits crimes will be branded on his body, deported, and dare to enter Jiuyan again. Township boundaries, shoot to kill!

In troubled times, Zi Baifeng has used it once before, but it has never been as severe as it is now.

An extraordinarily severe winter also made Zi Baifeng experience the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and gradually understood the helplessness of Fu Jun and others when making decisions.However, it is impossible to cover all the decisions made by the superiors, and there will always be a priority.

And in this world, there are some people who are not willing to be oppressed by fate, and they want to change themselves.For example, the villagers of Xiayan Village who pushed out Xiayan Village's reputation as "Mengcheng Small Granary" with a cart; Hu Caijun of Welfare; they are all working hard for themselves and others, which is why Jiuyan Township is now prosperous.

And there are some people, they try to get something for nothing, they would rather steal, snatch and beg than use their own hands to create their own tomorrow.

Maybe the aura of heaven and earth is exhausted, maybe everything is going to exhaustion, but Zi Baifeng no longer indulges and forgives easily, because he has provided too many opportunities.

In the future, after all, there will be many people who can't keep up and will be left behind...

Who can be blamed?Who do you hate?If you don't do it, you won't die.
