Vol 2 Chapter 45: Outside the city

Before, Jiang Baimian had always felt that there was no necessary connection between what had happened. Lei Yunsong, Lin Feifei and the "anti-intellectual religion" did not have any intersections. They seemed to be two unrelated parties, but they did not Together weirdly.
And now, she finally found the missing point, the point on the two sides of the middle connection:
Xu Liyan, Lord of Wild Grass City and President of the Local Hunter Guild!
As he walked and thought, Jiang Baimian said to Odick in front of him:
"You were invited by the city lord?"
Odick did not answer.
Jiang Baimian thoughtfully said to himself:
"I want to meet with the lord, so that maybe I can figure out many things."
Odick still said nothing, and walked straight into the guild hall.
…………
At the gate of Yecao City, Bai Chen drove his jeep with Long Yuehong and drove out slowly.
In the process of searching for "temporary teachers", they found something worth noting:
A "temporary teacher" named Huang Mingtang, who was supposed to end the vacation yesterday and came back to teach the children, did not show up.
He can rest for one day every ten days.
According to several parents, Mr. Huang has taught their children for almost a year, with reasonable fees and being responsible for others. There has never been a similar situation before, and they are often allowed to default on tuition for a period of time when some families are temporarily in trouble. .
These parents originally planned to wait two more days. If Huang Mingtang Huang hadn't returned, they would go to the guild to post a mission to find him. Although they wouldn't pay much, they would at least allow the hunters to save some credit.
In Yecao City, some of the tasks that should have been undertaken by the City Hall and the City Defense Army have gradually been transferred to the Hunter's Guild, in the form of issuing and completing tasks.
After colliding with the relic hunters who came to investigate Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, the parents simply entrusted them, and made a special trip to the guild hall to post the task and let them take it.
The reward is 2 Ole and 10 credits.
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong quickly found the place where Huang Mingtang was renting based on the clues provided by the parents, and learned from the guard there that the
temporary teacher
went to his location the night before the official vacation. The home outside the city did not seem to come back since.
Huang Mingtang’s parents worked as servants in a manor outside the city. He grew up there, benefiting from the kindness of the manor’s owner, literate and read.
Later, he accompanied the young master as a relic hunter for a period of time, made some contributions, and was granted permission to become a free citizen.
He didn't like to fight and kill, and he didn't want to venture into the wilderness, and finally chose to be a "temporary teacher" to support himself.
Without further ado, Bai Chen decided to go to the manor outside the city to ask before dark.
After blocking the gate for a few minutes, the army-green jeep came out of the Weed City.
Long Yuehong, who was in the passenger seat, looked out subconsciously, stunned by the scene in front of her.
so many people.
There are many people outside the city.
They either knelt or sat on the sides of the road, spreading far away, hard to count.
A little farther away, there are the burrows they dug and the simple tents built temporarily, which seem to have become different settlements for the wanderers in the wilderness.
These people looked at the front with pale faces and numb expressions, shaking in the cold wind, but no one spoke.
From time to time, a few children's cries sounded, and they seemed so weak.
Whenever someone walks in between them with a heavily armed bodyguard and picks them back and forth, a little hope will appear on their faces.
When the lucky ones were bought away, the rest of them showed disappointment at the same time, and then resumed their numb expressions.
"Are these all infectious diseases? It's not like..." Long Yuehong asked in a low voice like to herself.
He remembered that on the day they came to Ye Cao City, the wanderers who had gathered here could be put into the city to look for opportunities as long as they were checked for no infectious diseases.
Under the recommendation, the reading app I am using recently has a lot of books, full of books, and fast update!
Bai Chen made the vehicle speed a bit faster:
"Too much.
"If so many people rush into the city, there will be countless bombs that will explode at any time."
Long Yuehong thought about it carefully and understood:
"So, you can only let them stay outside, and let those who want to buy it out by themselves?"
Bai Chen nodded:
"Wild Grass City can't accommodate so many slaves, so we can only see if the'First City' can send someone over in time to gather them.
"Eugene's slave hunting team was able to pack a batch, but it's not clear now."
Hearing this, Long Yuehong was suddenly a little surprised:
"You mean, the group leader and Shang Jian Yao killed such a villain as Eugene, but would cause the death of a group of innocent people?"
Bai Chen said in a predecessor's tone:
"You have to get used to this kind of thing.
"Although Eugene is a villain who deserves to be smashed by a thousand swords, his purpose is only to make money, but in the current environment, he can really bring life to many people."
Not everyone who is bought will be sent to the mine and die within a few years.
Long Yuehong fell silent and said for a long time:
"This world!"
"Eugene's slave hunting team may soon have a new leader. They should not let go of the opportunity to make money." Bai Chen also glanced at the side, "With so many people, there are new vagrants coming every day. If it is not resolved in a few days, there may be a big riot..."
She has seen similar things.
At that time, it was truly a tragedy on earth.
While talking, Jeep finally drove out of this area and turned towards Zhuohe.
After going around a forest with withered leaves and driving for another four or five minutes, Long Yuehong saw many fields.
They also appear deserted in winter.
Soon, Jeep arrived at the gate of the manor and was stopped by a team of guards armed with guns.
Bai Chen took out the hunter badge to explain that he was looking for Huang Mingtang's parents.
They were not allowed to enter the manor, but a guard sent a letter for them and found the couple.
Huang Mingtang's parents look like they are in their fifties, and their hair has become quite white.
"Atang didn't go back? He left the night before!" After hearing Long Yuehong's account, Huang Mingtang's mother suddenly became a little anxious.
Bai Chen frowned slightly and said:
"Is there anything unusual before he left?"
"No." Huang Mingtang's mother shook her head repeatedly, "I urged him to find a wife."
Huang Mingtang's father looked honest, his bare skin was a bit dark, and even cracked in many places.
He recalled saying:
"Atang left in a hurry before 5 o'clock. From here to the city, it will take more than half an hour to walk. There will be some extremely hungry beasts after dark..."
Having said that, Huang Mingtang's father said anxiously:
"He didn't meet those beasts, did he?"
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looked at each other and said:
"Let's find it along the way."
In the expectant eyes of the couple, they got into the car and returned the same way.
This time, they drove much slower than before, paying close attention to the surrounding environment, and getting out of the car to check.
After a while, Jeep returned to the forest.
Although the leaves almost fall off in winter, it is still difficult to see the darker places in the tree shelters.
Bai Chen stopped the jeep and said to Long Yuehong:
"Looking at the car."
Long Yuehong was very skilled in this, holding the "ice moss" pistol, standing next to the jeep, guarding the surroundings vigilantly.
Bai Chen also drew out his gun and walked slowly into the woods.
After going around a thick tree, her pupils suddenly dilated.
In the depths of the forest, on a branch that is not too high but looks very strong, a man wearing a dark red padded jacket hangs there without any movement.
He has a brown belt around his neck, and his pants seem to fall off at any time.
The whirring wind blew, the man shook slightly.
…………
"Afu Gun Shop" on the second floor.
"Huang Mingtang hanged himself and committed suicide?" Jiang Baimian said with lingering fear after hearing Bai Chen's return, "Zeng Guangwang's luck is really good."
She immediately recounted her progress.
"That'anti-intellectualism' is just like crazy." Long Yuehong sighed sincerely.
He now felt a little sad when he remembered the reaction of Huang Mingtang's parents after seeing his son's body.
Shang Jianyao glanced at him:
"When did you have the illusion that they are not crazy?"
"I, I initially thought they were just an illiterate organization, and it was fine to burn books." Long Yuehong admitted that he had never seen the world.
"Arson is already a felony." Jiang Baimian said, then he reminded him, "You should also pay attention to it recently. That'priest' is very dangerous and dangerous."
Long Yuehong raised her heart:
"What happens next?"
"For the time being, I can only see what Odick can find out. I hope he can find at least one member of the'anti-intellectual religion'." Jiang Baimian is still waiting for Odick to reply if the city lord is willing to see them.
She then asked Bai Chen:
"Does the radio transceiver matter?"
"Find someone who can assemble it by yourself. The price is very cheap. I'll go talk tomorrow." Bai Chen nodded.
Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong:
"Look, see, this is your professional business, learn something."
"There are enough parts, I can." Shang Jianyao responded immediately.
"What is enough?" Jiang Baimian asked sharply.
Shang Jian Yao answered frankly:
"Give me a chance to practice."
Jiang Baimian didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
At this time, the sky was already dark, because of the successive deaths of Liu Dazhuang and Eugene, the number of patrols outside increased a lot.
After dinner, the "old tune group" went back to the room, safeguarded their weapons, and discussed things that would "anti-intellectualism" without any margin.
When the power goes out, they quickly wash up and go to bed, ready to go to bed and get up early.
Don't know what time in the middle of the night~EbookFREE.me~ The door of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao was knocked suddenly.
With the sound of dong dong dong, Shang Jian Yao turned over and got out of bed and ran to the door.
He was holding a handful of "ice moss" with his hands behind his back.
And Jiang Baimian got up silently and aimed at the door.
Outside the door is Gu Changle, the "Afu Gun Shop" shareholder who pooled money to hire "temporary teacher".
Wearing a thick cotton jacket, the lady seemed to get up in a hurry.
She didn't notice Shang Jianyao's abnormality, and said hurriedly:
"Ms. An is coming to you.
"She seems to be injured, just downstairs!"
An Ruxiang? This name popped up in Jiang Baimian's mind.
PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month~
