Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 206 The River is Full of Water

“They’re all directed at you?” Now it was Yu Ye’s turn to be stunned.

This is not a simple sentence, it involves fighting and death.

"No wonder the nearby mountains and forests are in such a mess." An elder from a village caravan murmured.

As soon as these words were spoken, the elders of the caravan couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look at Yifeng.

"Brother Feng, the casualties in your village..." Yu Ye hurriedly stopped talking because this question was a bit unfair.

"No one in our Forgotten Village was killed. You all saw what happened just now."

"I see." Everyone nodded.

"Let me tell you." Yifeng boasted about how powerful the people of Xuanxu Sect were, and tried to push the credit of Shang Liangshan's killing the enemy onto the people of Xuanxu Sect.

Some things can be concealed and hidden.

"Captain of the guard, what should we do with these refugees?" The dark and thin captain of the guard, Yi Luo, scratched his head and asked Yi Bao who was rushing over.

Yiluo is the captain of the third team of the guard.

There is a story behind the word "Luo". When his mother gave birth to him, she was working in the fields. Her stomach ached and she gave birth to him. He almost fell to the ground. People also almost named him Yidiao or Yidi, but in the end, Wangmu named him Yiluo.

By the way, his nickname is Skinny.

Yibao took a look at the thousands of refugees resting on the river bank and frowned.

Thousands of refugees were all skinny and looked no different from savages.

This was not the reason why Yibao frowned. What made him frown was that there were very few girls among the thousands of refugees.

This is worth pondering.

"Yiluo, go find a few vigilant women and ask about the situation..." Yibao's voice became smaller and smaller.

Yiluo nodded repeatedly. After hearing the instructions, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he took a few brothers to pick people.

It didn't take long before the refugees started to stir and asked what they were going to do.

In response, Yiluo said coldly: "It's just a question. If you don't want to, get out."

Once these words were spoken, it was like a knife placed on one's neck. No one dared to say a word, only hiding their vigilance and guilt.

Yibao glanced at the refugees and turned to find Yifeng. He said that it was not allowed to drive them away, so they had to discuss how to resettle them.

After telling everyone about the heroic deeds of the Xuanxu Sect, Yifeng also walked towards Yibao. The two met at the village gate and discussed the resettlement of the refugees.

"Great Elder, why don't we resettle the refugees in the pastures in the north?" Yibao suggested.

"No, the pasture cannot be moved. If we move the cattle, sheep and horses, they will be trapped." Yifeng shook his head in rejection.

The ranch on the north side of the rock wall also has an important function, which is a wartime ranch.

"Behind the rock peak?"

"The riverbank is too small to accommodate..." Yifeng paused, turned his head and looked to the south of the market, pointed to the small hill behind the thorn forest and said: "Place the refugees on the hill. In this way, they can be connected with the market. Then we can build supporting facilities for the market together and form a market village."

Yifeng glanced at the small hill three miles away, nodded, then frowned and said, "How should we deal with the thorn forest and the wooden fence?"

“Dig it out and reuse it.”

"That's fine, but this will greatly increase the pressure on defense."

"Recruiting the reserve forces is just what we need. It will help the new villagers to avoid petitioning to join the hunting team every day."

Yibao nodded and asked, "How do we solve the problem of accommodation for the refugees?"

"First, we'll build a shack to live in. After we've built a temporary defensive fence, we'll build a thatched house."

While the two were discussing, Yiluo also started asking questions, and as expected, they were miserable.

After asking the two women, he didn't want to ask any more questions and walked quickly towards Yifeng and Yibao.

"Great Elder, Captain of the Guards, we have almost finished asking about the situation." Yi Luo said with a bad look on his face.

"The big evil people have escaped, but the small evil people are still here. Human nature is selfish and cold-blooded, right?" Yifeng asked.

"Hmm" Yiluo nodded vigorously, and couldn't help but admire the great elder's insight.

"As long as they are not fools, they will not come to the village for refuge after doing serious evil deeds, because the village will not accept serious evildoers and will only kill them. Therefore, the result of the interrogation is already doomed. Take them to the small hill to set up a camp. I will go find Xiaochao to make the plan." After speaking, Yifeng turned and left.

"Is there anyone who can be killed among the refugees?" Yibao looked at Yiluo and asked.

"Not at the moment. It would be better if Xiaocao didn't go into seclusion." Yiluo said unwillingly.

"There's no rush. Let's take them to set up a camp first." Yibao sneered.

Xiaocao was in seclusion, but Xiaomeng was not. He saw her last night.

Xiao Meng's methods are much more terrifying than Xiao Cao's.

In the pavilion at Yanfeng, the old patriarch, who was looking out at the market, sat back in his chair, looked at Tu Lao and asked, "Is Xiao Meng not in seclusion?"

"No, it's in the outer world, playing with Xiaola."

"Tonight, I'll trouble you, Tu Lao, to take Xiao Meng to investigate the refugees. People's minds are hard to predict and we need to be on guard against them."

"It's a simple matter. Xiao Meng is just bored." Tuceng said this, then he remembered something and asked, "Where is Heizi going?"

"He went to play in the upper class with Xiaoshe and the others."

"It's perfect for Heizi to cooperate with Xiaomeng."

The old patriarch was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "That's true. I'll tell Heizi when he comes back."

"Tonight, Yoruichi and Yingyi will not come out for patrol. I let them stay in seclusion. After all, level three is too weak."

The old patriarch nodded and said with feeling: "After you left, there was no one to drink tea with me."

"Why don't you go with Lao Liu and the wolf cub to travel around the mountains and rivers?"

"Good choice." The old patriarch's eyes lit up.

"Meow" the little lynx molting its fur is running from the north, it's almost time for dinner.

At the shipyard, Yang Chao, who was inspecting the manufacture of the Wu ship, stood in front of the half-finished hull and discussed with the shipwrights of Huitong Trading Company whether to install a machine crossbow on the Wu ship. However, he was forcibly pulled away by Yifeng who came on horseback.

"Great Elder, I'm busy." Yang Chao said helplessly as he was being dragged out.

"Put it aside for now, there are urgent matters now,"

"What's the most urgent matter?"

"Plan a resettlement area for the refugees, with a scale of 10,000 people."

“There are so many refugees?”

"Be prepared for a rainy day. Oh, and there's also a market..."

The autumn breeze was refreshing, the ship's flags fluttered, and Yijiu, who was learning how to operate a boat from Chen Jun, walked out of the cabin. Facing the cool breeze, he opened his arms and shouted, "Ah, the river is full of water."

This shout scared Liu Yu who was walking out behind him. He patted his chest and said, "Brother Jiu, there is not only water in the river, but also fish, boats, and people on the boats. Well, we have to wade through the water for a few more days before we can reach the Forgotten Land."

"Just a few days, as long as we have a smooth journey."

"Hehe, when we return to Forgotten Village this time, I will ask Brother Xiao Chao to convert the merchant ship into a powered sailboat."

"It's time to change it. We've been practicing rowing these days and we're almost bored to death."

"Hey, you've worked hard. You can rest after a few more days. We were in such a hurry."
