Survival In the World of Beasts - Chapter 103
Although Li Zhixun has been living comfortably in Howling Valley, his skills and reactions are still there. The first reaction to seeing the shadow is to protect Asha, who is holding Ali next to him, and pull out the white gift he carries. The knife, only waited for the shadow to fall, and pierced it fiercely.
A shout came from far below, stopping the speed of the black shadow in time, causing him to scream and fall to the side.
Li Zhizheng tightly held the knife in his hand and protected Asha, while backing back, he watched the attacking Yuman warily. At this time, this man had already gathered his metallic wings, stood aside, and looked down. .
Li Shizhao followed this person’s gaze and was surprised to see A Yun running from a distance. A Yun’s expression on his face was very complicated, and anxiety, guilt, and joy were all intertwined.
Li Zhizhu was very calm in his heart. It seemed that these were the people of Ayun’s tribe, those of Beicheng. This guy seems to be just a young man. They are not as tall as they are. They are only slightly taller than Li Shizhao. He looks like a human being. He wears a black robe that looks very delicate. The cuffs and neckline are embroidered. The intricate golden patterns were unrecognizable for a while, with a bow on one shoulder and a quiver hanging from the waist.
The wings behind this person are very huge. If Li Shizun had just read it right, they would be at least several meters long when they were unfolded. Even if they were closed behind him at this time, they looked particularly deterrent.
Ayun ran up and seemed to want to explain something. Li Zhizhen protected Asha and retreated into the crowd. He only stared at Ayun lightly on the spot. Anyway, he knew that he couldn’t keep it. He didn’t have any special thoughts, as long as these people didn’t. If it hurts the people in Howling Valley, Ayun won’t interfere if he leaves or stays.
Before Li Zhizhen had time to say anything to A Yun, there was a gust of wind on the back of his neck. He heard everyone’s voice coming from behind him. He was very messy and could not hear clearly. Li Zhizhen instinctively dodged to one side, but it was faster than the wind. sound. He felt a pain in the back of his neck, and his eyes went dark in Ayun’s voice and he no longer knew what had happened.
Ayun didn’t know why the Temple Commander would stun Li Shizhen himself. He explained in a panic: “This person treats me very well, Master Wu, can you let him go?”
The military commander coldly swept past the people in Howling Valley who were hurriedly surrounding him, and made a gesture to the previous young man. He stretched out his wings and flew away from the sky above Howling Valley, holding Li Zhixun in his arms, and he was even carrying a person. It doesn’t affect his speed at all. The young man also hugged A Yun, followed closely behind, leaving the panicked crowd of Howling Valley behind him.
The several black shadows circling in the sky saw that their people had already flown up, so they stopped staying, lined up, and headed east.
Of course, these people could not have flown all the way from Bay City. They flew to the river and stopped, boarded a three-mast boat, and there were still a lot of feather people on the boat.
At this time, Ayun said to the young man who put him down next to him: “You, tell Master Wu Chang, let Aya go. He is the female of the leader here. It is very troublesome to bring him back.”
You only shook his head: “I don’t know. Originally, I just wanted to take away the little female. They can’t raise it anyway. We can’t decide on the matter of Master Wu.”
A Yun was startled. It turned out that he just wanted to take A Li away. He shook his hand quickly: “It’s different here. They can raise that little female.”
You frowned and looked at Ayun: “Why do you go out for a period of time and become so strange? Of course, going to Bay City is the best for young females.” Many tribes even throw young females to the riverside, hoping that they will be The residents of Bay City rescued and lived a good life. In this way, the little female who was brought back to Bay City directly by the temple warriors might still be able to directly enter the temple to serve the Holy Spirit!
A Yun was taken aback. What he saw in Howling Valley was indeed different from Bay City. Everything there was brand new, and people were full of vitality. Unconsciously, A Yun was also full of expectations for it. He also wanted to see where such Howling Valley would go.
But in Bay City, he was born in Si and grew up in Si, and of course he loves it deeply. But Bay City is different from Howling Valley. Today’s Bay City is so prosperous, and tomorrow’s Bay City is the same prosperously, but Howling Valley is different day by day, which makes it impossible to predict what it will look like in the end.
Seeing Ayun’s expression in a daze, I was even more dissatisfied: “What’s so good about those people? We thought you were taken away by the “Gray Feather” people. It’s a good meal to find, if you don’t see the smoke there. I would never go to such a remote place, who would know that those people took you away! I don’t think it’s a big deal for the military commander to take the female away. Bay City is definitely better than the shabby place just now.” Many females If you want to go to Bay City, you can’t go!
Ayun was a little anxious: “But he already has a male! His partner is a very difficult guy to provoke!”
After the military commander gave the order to set off the boat, and people tied Li Shizhen, he turned around and heard what A Yun said, frowning and saying, “You are from Bay City. For Bay City, there is nothing difficult to provoke. people!”
Ayun did not dare to refute, bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
Wu Chang asked, “How did you get taken away that day? We all thought you were kidnapped by the ‘Gray Feather’, but after fighting with the ‘Grey Feather’ all the way, we didn’t find you.”
Ayun lowered his head and replied, “I haven’t seen a person from Gray Feather. When I woke up, I saw the person from Howling Valley.”
Wu Chang frowned: “So, it seems that they took those things and the females?”
Ayun nodded.
Wu Chang snorted coldly. If it weren’t for the loss of so many females and the troubles so much, he wouldn’t have come in person.
Ayun raised his head and glanced at Wu Chang, then plucked up the courage to say: “Master Wu, A Zhao…can you let him go back? He has gone through the ceremony.”
Wu Chang glanced at A Yun without comment. If it wasn’t for the female’s appearance, he wouldn’t rush back to Bay City in such a hurry, at least he would have to take back the lost females and things, but now, I believe the left priest would also agree with his judgment.
Ayun had no choice but to stay with Li Shizhen. The military commander sent a number of temple warriors to guard him. Probably because of Ayun’s repeated pleadings, even he was placed under house arrest in disguise.
When Li Shizhao woke up, the sky was already dark. He only felt that he was shaking under his body, and he thought he was not awake. When he stood up on his body, he still felt a soreness in the back of his neck, completely unaware of what was going on.
Ayun sat beside him guiltily and said: “Are you awake?”
Li Shizhao saw the surrounding environment and saw A Yun again, and immediately reacted: “I was taken away by your people?”
Ayun nodded and said quickly: “I don’t know why, I asked Master Wu to let you go, but he didn’t agree.”
Li Shizhao frowned: “They only took you and me?”
A Yun whispered: “Yes.” He didn’t dare to say that he wanted to take A Li away, but the military commander insisted on taking Li Shizhao away.
Li Shizhao touched himself, and all sharp things like knives and whistles were gone! The room was sealed everywhere, with windows and doors buttoned from the outside, and even if he could jump into the river and escape, thinking of the terrible predators in the river, Li Shizun was silent.
He must first figure out why these people want to take him away? Is it intended to detain him in exchange with Bai? Li Shizhao glanced at Ayun. He didn’t know if Ayun said something to those people, but theoretically speaking, it should not be possible. Ayun has always been by his side. In this era, no matter how developed Bay City is, he also I don’t believe that there can be any tools for direct message transmission over long distances.
Li Zhizhu asked: “Just take you away, why are they taking me away?”
Ayun shook his head: “I don’t know either.”
Li Shizhao looked at A Yun’s expression, and based on his understanding of A Yun, A Yun did not lie, which is really strange! The other females who were brought back to Howling Valley did not care about them, and they actually tied themselves?
Li Zhitong was also temporarily unable to. He was very worried about the situation in Howling Valley at this time. He was looted and Bai did not go back, just afraid that it would be messed up. But in the present situation, he couldn’t do much. To say that he used Ayun as a hostage to force the outsiders to release him. Once Ayun was by his side for so long, he really couldn’t do such a thing. The big river, farther away, is nothing more than the forest and wilderness. If you just live in the wild, he is not afraid if he does not have tools on his body now, but it is too dangerous to leave the boat on this river. Moreover, the people outside have wings. How can Ayun escape if he is tied Dropping is a big problem.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Shizhao felt his brain hurt. He still had no answer. He sighed and could only wait and see what changed.
Except for not letting them out, the people outside did not embarrass them very much. They have everything to eat and drink, but the utensils that were brought in were all wooden and had no edges and corners. The things were not sent in through the door, but from the door. Passed over from a small window. The personal problems of him and Ayun were also solved in the curtain in the corner of the room, and the sewage and dirt were also handed out through the small window.
Li Shizhao deeply felt that the people outside did not understand him but were still so cautious. This can only explain one problem. They are determined to bring themselves back to Bay City!
When faced with such a thing, Li Shizhao felt helpless. The other party had no opportunity to take advantage of it. How to escape was really a problem.
However, the sailing of the ship did not leave Li Shizun too much time to think, because it was downstream, but for a few days, in addition to clear water, food, and two sets of light-colored clothes came in. Li Shizhu took a look at the style, and it was Ayun that wore it to Howling Valley that day.
For many years, he hadn’t worn clothes made of cotton cloth like this. Li Shizhen missed it a bit, but he had to change into such clothes with the other party’s mark in this kind of scene, and he felt a little bit more displeased.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Li Shizhao didn’t want to use this kind of resisting behavior to arouse the other party’s alertness to him, but silently changed his clothes.
When the door of the ship opened, Li Shixuan couldn’t help squinting his eyes, and there were two rows of people standing densely on the road outside. It seemed that it was not a good time to escape.
What makes Li Shizheng feel strange is that those people are obviously the same as the young man at the beginning, they are all races with huge wings on the back, but at this time they are wrapped in robes, and even the wings are completely trapped in the robes, appearing behind them. It was very bloated and huge, and it looked very weird.
A Yun followed behind Li Shizhen and said something to a middle-aged Leng Suyu man, with a very uneasy expression. This feather man was dressed like others, but the patterns on the cuffs, neckline and belt were more complicated and overlapped, and his status was obviously higher. Gao, it seems that this is the military commander Ayun said.
Li Shizhao looked at the military commander and frowned slightly. He didn’t understand why this person insisted on taking him away. Obviously he had never seen this person before. Before that, he had only seen a dead man with wings, and he and Bai were involved in the fight by these people by the river. On that day, he probably hadn’t been exposed to these people before.
The language they used sounded a little strange to Li Shizhao. He didn’t quite understand it, and his attention was quickly diverted by the surroundings. This is actually a dock?
Li Shichong was very surprised to see the outside through the “wall of people”. Many ships either docked for unloading or set off for a long voyage. The differences between the ships are also very big. The most broken one is the handmade mass production of Howling Valley. There are many small wooden rafts of that kind. The best one is the one that Li Shizhao is on. It has three masts, a large cabin, and a big “day” mark on the sail.
The people around seemed to know that this ship was not easy to mess with. The docking, sailing, and unloading were all staying far away, making detours, and there were still people bowing to this side. A tall city can be vaguely seen not far away.
The military commander did not leave Li Shizun too much time to be curious and wait and see. He didn’t know what he had communicated with A Yun, and the leader stepped on the pedals and walked down the boat.
Li Shizhao curled his lips secretly. These people were really careful. They were surrounded by human walls on and off the ship. The busy ships around him were far away from them. The surrounding area was a vacuum zone, and there was no room to escape.
He acted very witty and unhesitatingly followed Wu Commander and A Yun and got off the boat.
Then they got into a carriage!
Li Shizhao was very surprised. This Bay City could already make a carriage. He didn’t take the time to make the wooden wheel. He actually saw the finished product here. And the one pulling the cart was really a horse. Li Shizhao had seen it from afar on the southern grasslands. He didn’t expect that Bay City would have been domesticated long ago.
This carriage is also black and gold with a bright “日” mark on it.
There were two rows of wide seats in the carriage. He sat on one side with Ayun, the military commander sat on the other side, and the door of the carriage was closed. Li Shizhen and the military commander sat face-to-face in a confined space, really feeling very unpleasant.
There were probably other people driving outside. The carriage gradually started to move forward. Li Shizhen focused his attention on the world outside the window. Ayun seemed to know Li Shizhen’s curiosity, and tried to explain to him about the city of Beicheng. Everything, probably also meant to show off his hometown to Li Shizhao?
Li Shizhen smiled, and still thanked A Yun for his kindness. He listened carefully. It was the first time he saw a city in this world, and he was very curious.
The military commander on the other side just closed his eyes to rest up his mind, and did not comment on the discussion between the two females. He neither meant to block A Yun’s introduction, nor did he open the window to let Li Shizhao see enough, as if he hadn’t heard anything. When I haven’t seen it, it is simply a live-view version that turns a blind eye to hearing.
Li Shizhen didn’t care about the military commander. He only started to understand the city whole-heartedly. He didn’t know whether the accidental information would play any role when he escaped or in the future. .
He began to hear the lively voices outside and the vaguely seen crowds at the stalls and thought he had already arrived in Bay City, but Ayun explained that this was only a trading market organized by people outside the city, and it was far from inside Bay City. It is more prosperous and more orderly, and many of the special products of Bay City are not visible outside.
Hearing Li Shizhao secretly claimed to be surprised, so many people would come from afar to conduct transactions, Bay City is not easy.
But no matter how noisy it was outside, once the sign on the carriage was seen from a distance, the crowd silently gave way, and the speed of the carriage did not slow down much in such a busy city. Looking at the looks of the military commander and Ayun, it seems that they have become accustomed to all this. This temple is really a privileged class of Bay City.
When approaching the city gate, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Ayun said that it was a queue for entering the city. Li Zhilu guessed that he might need to press his handprint? Or what paperwork is needed?
Suddenly there was a whistling sound above his head, and the originally noisy but orderly queue suddenly became chaotic, and there were constant screams outside, and Li Shizun even heard the noise of arrows nailed to the carriage!
The carriage stopped completely, and even the horses outside were a little restless, causing the carriage to sway a bit.
Li Zhizhu thought of the people in Bay City who had said that they had been in the civil war, and couldn’t help feeling a move. If you want to escape, this should be the best time!
However, what disappointed him was that this martial artist sat on the opposite side calmly, as if the arrows outside were all floating clouds, and he had no intention of getting up, let alone going out to take a look.
Li Shizhen was greatly disappointed. It seems that the people in Beicheng must have some reliance on retreating from the enemy, and this military commander can be so stable as Mount Tai.
Ayun thought that Li Shizhen was a little worried, so he explained: “Those are the rebel’gray feathers’. There are guarding weapons on the walls. They only dared to harass them like this, and then retreated after a while.”
Li Shizhen nodded.
Ayun complained in a low voice: “The Grey Feathers are like this. They don’t dare to do anything openly. They only dare to attack and harass the salt-changer…”
I probably guessed that A Yun was talking to Li Shizhen about the chaos and rebellion outside the party, and heard the keyword “Gray Feather”. Wu Chang looked at A Yun displeasedly, and he silently swallowed the rest. if.
Sure enough, the chaos outside gradually subsided. In a return to silence, someone outside reported something to the military commander through the window. The military commander nodded and said something, and the carriage began to move forward again, this time faster than it started. A lot. Probably because he was shocked by the military commander’s eye just now, Ayun didn’t dare to explain anything to Li Shizhen again.
Li Shizhao himself saw a lot of shops and the like, displaying all kinds of goods, including pottery, grain, and cloth. Maybe because of the rebellion and harassment, the flow of people is not high, but it can be seen that the shops and streets in this city have been very rationally designed. Not only are there neat trees planted by the roadside, but even bright flowers are planted by the roadside.
That was probably a commercial area. The more people walked past this area, the fewer and fewer people, but the more delicate they were dressed, Li Shizhen even saw people in small squares and the like. Take a walk and chat. But among all these people, there are males and females, but the males have no animal form.
It seems like what Ayun said, beast-shaped males are not welcome in Bay City.
But the doubt in Li Shizhao’s heart is not just this. He always feels that there is something in this city that is very contradictory. It stands to reason that if it is a naturally developed city, it is impossible to design so rationally in many small places. Li Shizhao suddenly discovered that whether it was just now or now, these streets have actually distinguished sidewalks and roadways. Not only that, they It also distinguishes between forward and reverse lanes according to the direction of carriage!
All cars going straight ahead drive on the left, and Li Shizhao has been sitting on the left, and there is no carriage daring to overtake the car they are in, so he hasn’t reacted just now! It wasn’t until he had reacted to the sidewalk just now that he saw the reverse carriage in the window on the opposite side and understood the matter.
Silently continuing to observe from the window, Li Shizhen found that the road was getting wider and wider, and the people on the side of the road gradually changed. Some of them wore the new clothes of him and Ayun, and those who passed by them would Salute religiously. Maybe that shrine is finally coming?
Li Shizhao had more guesses about the Bay City and the temple in his heart.
The carriage did not enter through the main entrance of the temple, but detoured to the side entrance. Li Shizun faintly saw the snow-white temple wall, and did not know what material it was made of. He only saw a corner, and it did appear as A Yun described. Incomparably holy.
Li Shizhao silently counted the rhythm of the carriage going forward. The inside of this temple is not small. The carriage also moved for a long time before it stopped. Someone walked and talked outside, and then someone came over and asked softly what was behind. There was another sound of carriage noise, and it seemed that the people following had also arrived.
The military commander said something. The door of the carriage did not open. It seemed that someone had changed outside to drive the carriage, and the carriage began to move forward again.
Li Shizhen didn’t know what was going on, but he also felt confused and confused when he looked at A Yun’s expression, and he obviously didn’t know why it was arranged like this outside.
Anyway, for Li Shizhu, he finally changed to a particularly quiet corner and continued to be under house arrest.
Before entering the room, Li Shizhao stopped and looked at the military commander: “There must be a reason why you want to arrest me.”
Ayun translated this sentence consciously.
The military commander only glanced at Li Shizhen lightly, and actually answered something seriously.
Ayun also felt very surprised, and answered with the character of Lord Wu Chang!
It took him a long time to remember to translate it to Li Shizhao: “Master Wu Chang said, if you live here with peace of mind, you will know the reason.”
