Chapter 251 Today's Yunzhou

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. Learn slowly. It takes more than ten days, and you can almost learn it." Gong Zifeng said indifferently.

In fact, he thought too well. It is a huge project for people living on the sea to let them learn to ride horses.For half a month, although the riding skills of the two have improved, but this level of improvement is far from enough.The journey of the five of them has been slowed down a lot. According to the learning speed of the two of them, even if it takes another month, they will not be able to reach the speed of normal riders.

"Forget it, let's think of other ways." Ren Feng said with a bitter face, this speed is too slow, it might as well take a carriage.

Li Qiuyu looked frustrated. She originally thought that with her intelligence, it would not be difficult to learn how to ride a horse, but in fact, it was not. During this period of time, both legs were worn out, but that gentle Qingzhou horse, as long as When she started running, she felt like she was on a stormy boat, even worse than that, she couldn't control her body at all.

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Ren Daoyuan said with a smile. Originally, he didn't plan to take out that thing, but now it seems that it can only be like this.

Take out the floating car, unfold the floating car, put a strong Qingzhou horse on the front of the car, and the next journey will be much easier.

Although the floating car is not a very important weapon and does not help in combat, it has one advantage. It does not need wheels and can float in the air, which greatly saves horsepower.When traveling, it is extremely convenient, the speed is not much slower than riding alone, and there are many things in the compartment.At night, let it fall on the ground, and it can be used as a camp tent, and the effect is much better than that of a camp tent.

Seeing this thing, Li Qiuyu and Nan Ji immediately fell in love with it, and after entering the floating car, they never wanted to get off again.

"Do you like it?" Ren Daoyuan rode his horse and asked from the side of the carriage, and Li Qiuyu poked his head out of the window beside the carriage, finally in the mood to watch the changes in the surrounding scenery, nodded and said, "I like it."

Nan Ji also came over, glared at Ren Daoyuan and said: "There are such good things, why didn't you take them out earlier, and just watch our jokes purely?"

Ren Daoyuan shook his head and said: "Senior Nan Ji, this junior naturally doesn't mean that. I just think that you must learn to ride a horse if you want to travel in the Kyushu Continent in the future. This floating car was originally intended as a gift for Miss Li, not for the next generation. Hidden."

"We accept this gift." Before Li Qiuyu could open her mouth, Nan Ji agreed directly. In her opinion, she would never learn how to ride a horse. Riding that thing is not as easy as walking on her own. Flying in the sky is also much better than riding a horse.

With the floating car, the forward speed is immediately increased to the fastest.Don't look at pulling a car, but the floating car itself can hardly feel the weight, and it can walk on any terrain, as long as it can pass by alone, it can pass.

Originally, Ren Daoyuan wanted to take the two of them for a walk in Qianzhou, so that they could see the scenery of Kyushu.Nan Ji also had this idea, but Li Qiuyu didn't think about it. Except for the first few days, there would be some curious expressions on her face, and then she would urge Ren Daoyuan to go straight to Yunzhou.

Yunzhou is no longer the Yunzhou that Ren Daoyuan saw back then. Not far from entering Yunzhou, you can see empty villages one by one.The original fertile land has turned into wasteland, and even several cities have turned into ghost towns.

On this day, it was already dark, and the floating car was parked in an open space, which was used as a camp. Around the floating car, several bonfires were lit. On the bonfires were two goats, which were the prey of the palace wind.The bursts of meaty fragrance waft far away.

Nan Ji lay on the window of the floating car, looking at the scorched goats, and began to fantasize about their delicacy.As Yuezu, Nan Ji naturally had no shortage of money, but in the South China Sea islands, she had no chance to taste such wild game.The live animals transported to the South China Sea Islands are usually domesticated, and the taste is completely different from wild ones.Ever since she tasted it once, Nan Ji fell in love with Kyushu mainland, or Kyushu food.

"Who? Come out." Gong Zifeng roared, looking at a forest in the distance.

"Everyone, please come out and meet each other. We are from Qingzhou." Ren Daoyuan said while sitting by the campfire without raising his head.There were quite a few people in the woods, and Ren Daoyuan could sense dozens of them. These people had heavy footsteps, and they obviously had no martial arts skills. They were all ordinary people.

"People from Qingzhou? How could you be from Qingzhou? What are people from Qingzhou doing here?" An old man's voice came from the woods.

"Passing by." Ren Daoyuan said calmly.Qingzhou and Yunzhou have always been at odds and are regarded as enemies, but since the invasion of Manzhou, this situation has changed, and Qingzhou and Yunzhou have become their own people instead.

"We need food." The old man said softly.

"No problem, we can provide some food, but I don't know how many of you are there?" Ren Daoyuan asked, he sensed that there were a lot of people in the woods.

"Many people..." the old man said with a sigh.

"Is anyone injured? I'm a doctor." Li Qiuyu walked out of the floating car, followed by Nan Ji.Although the people in the forest looked like ordinary people, there were too many of them.Nan Ji's cultivation was much higher than Ren Daoyuan's. She had already seen that there were at least hundreds of people in the forest.The two goats on the bonfire were far from enough for these yellow-faced and hungry refugees to eat.

"Yes, many people were injured, and some people fell ill." The old man said, several young and strong, followed by an old man, walked out of the woods carefully, and arrived at the campfire. Looking at the few people here, they did not have any malicious intentions. Keep your chest up.

Looking at these people, Ren Daoyuan felt a little sad.The old man in the head was wearing a piece of cloth of no visible color, barely able to cover his body.The few young men who came out with him looked less than 20 years old. Most of them were topless, with only a pair of shorts that could hide their shame.

The distance wasn't too close, and they could smell a strong stench, and they didn't know how long they hadn't bathed.Ren Daoyuan was a little strange. He remembered that there was a small lake not far from here. Even if these people couldn't find food, they should have no problem with drinking water and taking a bath. How could it be so smelly? ?

"Take me to see the patient." Li Qiuyu lifted a medicine box that was half her height and walked towards the old man.With her eyesight, she could tell that the people who stood up here were in pretty good health, but they hadn't eaten for a long time and were malnourished.

"Wait a minute." Ren Daoyuan blocked Li Qiuyu, turned to look at the old man: "I remember there is a small lake not far away, why don't you take a bath?"

Nan Ji's eyes lit up, and she suddenly discovered that although her cultivation was much higher than Ren Daoyuan's, her knowledge was much worse. She didn't expect the weirdness in it.Don't look at the fact that these people don't have martial arts, but who knows what their intentions are?
"The lake water is poisonous, you can't drink it, and you can't take a bath." The old man shook his head and said.

"The lake water is poisonous?" Ren Daoyuan was taken aback. Fortunately, they brought enough water, otherwise they would have really thought about adding fresh water when they passed by.

"Yes, all stagnant water cannot be drunk, it is poisonous, and only rivers with relatively large flows can be drunk, but the vicinity of such rivers is guarded by the barbarian army." The old man said.

"How could this be?" Ren Daoyuan frowned. It is true that Manzhou people are good at using poison, but poison also costs money. Manzhou actually poisoned all the stagnant water. How much capital does it cost?What are they up to?
"The Manzhou people want to drive us together, get us together, and work for them." The old man directly solved the mystery.

"That's it." Ren Daoyuan understood that this was indeed a good method, but it was too destructive to Yunzhou.The poison in Manzhou is very severe, and those lakes that have been poisoned may not see any living things within a few years.

"Then what do you drink?" Ren Daoyuan asked.Food is good, if humans retreat, animals will naturally take over. As long as there are enough wild animals, even if there is a shortage of food sources, at least they will not starve to death.After all, Yunzhou and Qingzhou are similar, they are both sparsely populated.The number of troops in Manzhou is limited, and it is impossible to defend all places.

"Steal water, dew, and moisture from plants," said the old man.

"So, how far is your camp from here?" Ren Daoyuan asked.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Ten miles away, you want to help us? Why?"

"Do you need a reason to help people?" It was not Ren Daoyuan who answered him, but he bypassed Ren Daoyuan and walked towards Li Qiuyu in the woods.

Seeing the people in the woods, Ren Daoyuan was speechless. What are these people holding in their hands?Most of them were wooden sticks, a few had kitchen knives in their hands, and some even only held two stones.Although Yunzhou is called a bumpkin like Qingzhou, it is not so poor.

Those brought out by the old man are all young and strong.In Ren Daoyuan's eyes, this is not considered young and mature, many of them are green-skinned young people under the age of 20, and some are so-called middle-aged adults who are over forty and entering old age.You can tell from their appearance that this is a team that came out to look for food.

Many of them had injuries on their bodies, and some wounds had begun to rot.Naturally, the smell of these people was not pleasant, but Li Qiuyu didn't seem to feel anything, and kept walking among the crowd, treating the wounds of everyone very skillfully, at an extremely fast speed.

There were a lot of people in the woods, there were hundreds of people, and at this moment, one of them was holding a piece of roasted goat meat, and swallowed it all, including the meat and bones. It was obvious from their appearance that they hadn't eaten for a long time pass.

"Manzhou people are not allowed to farm?" Ren Daoyuan asked.

"Let, but it must be planted within their designated area, and all the harvest must be handed over to them." The old man swallowed a piece of mutton, whimpering.

"Hand over all? Then what do you eat?" Ren Daoyuan asked, Qingzhou is similar to Yunzhou, and the tax rate is relatively heavy among the Kyushu. Usually, there are five draws and five, that is, half of the harvest, which has to be handed over to the empire .No matter how high the tax rate is, at least it can ensure that the people can have enough to eat.You must know that Qingzhou and Yunzhou have vast land and few people. As long as you work hard, there is plenty of land. As long as the situation is not too bad, you will not be hungry.
