I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 510 Chen Ping
The continuous presence of injured refugees means that there are large-scale wild beasts nearby!
In this era, large-scale wild beasts represent the beast tide.

Soon, a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old appeared in the escort team. He was wearing chain mail and riding a white horse. He led dozens of armored warriors to leave the team.

"That is Chen Ping, the young leader of the escort agency. He is very skilled in martial arts and is said to have mastered the hidden power. He is also very good at riding and shooting." A refugee exclaimed at this time.

Zhang Chen glanced at the young escort leader with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He felt a hint of the aura of the Dragon Ball on the young escort leader. It seems that the young escort leader is not as simple as he looks on the surface. He must be a man with great fortune, who has been blessed with the fragments of the Dragon Ball.

You have to know that the fragments of the real dragon's dragon ball burst into countless pieces. Even if an eighth-level strongman wanted to catch up, he had to rely on luck. And this young master Chen Ping was just a mortal body, but he could obtain the fragments of the dragon ball. Obviously, he was a lucky man.

A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, but he didn't pay much attention to it. No matter what abilities this Master Chen Ping had, the two of them were just casual acquaintances.

Three hours later, Chen Ping led the cavalry back. Various prey were hung on the horses of the cavalry, including jackals, sika deer, and tigers, all of which were carried back.

Then at noon, when the food was being cooked, the aroma of meat spread throughout the camp. At this time, an escort on horseback shouted, "Big bones and stew are for sale. Everyone can buy them with money or in exchange for food."

Zhang Chen had no shortage of meat, so of course he would not buy it. However, some refugees who had some money came forward to buy the big bones.

Even though Chen Ping hunted a lot of prey, he sold out all of them in a short time due to the huge gap of tens of thousands of refugees.

We continued on our journey in the afternoon. When the sun was setting, the young escort leader Chen Ping rode his horse and shouted to the crowd, "There are wild beasts around. To prevent attacks from wild beasts, you can no longer set up camp as you did in the past. You must listen to my instructions and set up traps according to my requirements. Strong men will stay outside, and women and children will stay inside. There are chevaux de frise in the escort agency, which can be borrowed for you to temporarily block the attacks of wild beasts. Since you are following my escort agency and are protected by my escort agency, you must also contribute and be responsible for patrolling at night."

"But my Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency is not sending you around for nothing. Whoever joins the night patrol team can go to me and get a bowl of meat. As you all have seen, I go hunting nearby wild animals during the day, and I can't eat all the beasts I hunt. As long as you contribute your manpower, you will certainly get benefits." Chen Ping said condescendingly while riding on his horse.

The sound was like a dragon's roar, spreading throughout the entire camp.

Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, countless men's eyes lit up and they came forward to sign up for the night patrol mission.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people here, and even if they patrol at night, they work in shifts and will not patrol all night. If you can pay some insignificant physical effort in exchange for a big bowl of meat, why not do it?
Then Chen Ping began to arrange for the selection of young men and organize personnel for night patrols. At the same time, he made arrangements to guard against attacks by wild beasts on the camp. For a while, the whole camp was in chaos, and countless refugees began to be separated as required.

Zhang Chen was just a 14-year-old boy, not very tall, and covered with tattered clothes. At this time, his family of four were arranged to live inside.

Looking at the rioters who were quickly put in order, Zhang Chen thought to himself, "This young escort leader is quite capable."

But now that everyone was living together, Zhang Chen couldn't cook for himself, so he could only use his money to buy some coarse grains and wild vegetable cakes from the refugees around him to fill his stomach. After all, everyone lived together, and if the fragrance leaked out accidentally, it would be troublesome.

"Brother, this pancake is so disgusting that it makes my throat hurt." Zhang Taowei could hardly finish the pancake and took small bites of it.

Zhang Chen glanced at Zhang Taowei and said unhappily, "It's good to have something to eat. Things have been going bad these past few days, so just bear with it for now."

Cheng Yu, who was standing by, was holding a pancake with a sad face. He looked at the black pancake made of wild vegetables and found it hard to swallow. When had Cheng Yu ever experienced such hardship? Even when he was starving in the mountains, he ate only refined rice and flour.
On the contrary, Zhang ate the wild vegetable cake without changing her expression. After a while, she had finished the wild vegetable cake. However, she choked on the wild vegetable cake and rolled her eyes. She picked up the kettle and gulped down the boiled water.

When the young escort leader Chen Ping was inspecting the refugee camp, the scene in front of him became something else. In his eyes, it was clearly a woman huddled together with three children. The three children were holding black vegetable biscuits, but they were reluctant to eat them. They only took a little bit and chewed them carefully. The woman was worried about the children, so she gave all the biscuits to the children and could only drink cold water.

Although Chen Ping had seen many miserable situations of refugees, it was rare to see such a situation of orphans and widows setting out on the journey.

After all, an orphan and a widow simply cannot survive in this world, let alone travel thousands of miles south. Such a team will most likely not be able to continue.

As if frightened by Chen Ping's momentum, the cake in Zhang Fei's hand rolled down and happened to roll in front of Chen Ping's horse. The tall horse lowered its head, took the cake in its mouth, and swallowed it in two or three gulps.

Chen Ping's horse stopped, and the bodyguards and his followers also pulled the horses.

"Little boy, why are you an orphan and your mother nowhere to be seen?" Chen Ping shouted from his horse. Zhang Chen saw Chen Ping's eyes on him and didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he lowered his head and said, "My father is dead, and there are only four of us left."

Chen Ping was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the chewing horse and the black wild vegetable cake in Zhang Chen's hand, and was a little dazed for a moment.

"Young Master, there are too many suffering refugees, and we cannot provide relief to them all." The young escort standing nearby saw the miserable plight of Zhang Chen's family, and then looked at his own young master who had stopped walking. He realized that his young master's kindness was overflowing again, so he had to speak up.

Hearing this, Chen Ping sighed, pulled off a small bag from his horse, threw it in front of Zhang Chen and the others, then rode away and disappeared into the refugee camp.

"That's because our young master is kind-hearted and gave you the cake as a reward." A leader of the escorts shouted to Zhang Chen and his four companions, then rode up on his horse and followed them away.

Zhang Taowei opened the cloth bag and found seven or eight white flour cakes inside. His eyes lit up immediately: "This young escort leader is really good. Finally, we don't have to eat wild vegetables anymore."

As they started distributing cakes, Zhang Chen took the cake made of refined rice and flour, took a bite and said, "This Chen Ping is quite good. His horse ate one piece of wild vegetable cake, and he compensated us with eight white flour cakes. We made a lot of money."

"Mr. Chen is a rare kind man." Zhang also sighed.

There are many rich but unkind people in this world, and few who are compassionate.

Nothing happened that night. At dawn the next day, Chen Ping was seen leading dozens of knights and disappearing into the mountains and forests again. In half a day, dozens of wild beasts returned with them. At noon, the whole camp was filled with the smell of meat.

Zhang Chen was holding a rice bowl and queuing up to get food. He was wearing dirty and ragged clothes, which made him inconspicuous in the crowd. After half a month of wandering, Zhang Chen's shoes had been worn out and his clothes were tattered. He looked no different from a real refugee.

From a distance, I saw the young escort leader Chen Ping serving rice to the refugees. He would pour a spoonful of broth on the rice from time to time, which made the refugees thank him continuously. When it was Zhang Chen's turn, he took out half a pound of corn and whispered, "Exchange it for a pound of rice."

Chen Ping glanced at Zhang Chen, then at the corn. At this time, a waiter beside him weighed it accurately with a rice measure. Chen Ping took a spoon to fill the rice, then scooped two spoonfuls of broth and poured it on the rice. He looked up and down at Zhang Chen's thin body, and couldn't help but sighed softly. He scooped out a large spoonful of venison from the bottom of the pot with a spoon and put it in Zhang Chen's rice bowl.

"Sir, I didn't ask for meat. I can't afford the money for meat." Zhang Chen said quickly as he looked at the braised meat in the rice bowl.

Chen Ping said nonchalantly: "This is a reward for you! Take it out and eat it!"

Then he shouted, "Next!"

The escort at the side said with a smile: "You orphans and widows have been displaced all the way. My master noticed it yesterday. Seeing that you are lonely and hard-working, he felt pity for you. Why don't you thank my master?"

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He glanced at the braised meat in the basin, then looked at Chen Ping, and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young master."

Chen Ping waved his hand, and Zhang Chen left with the rice bowl, all the way back to his own place. The three children came forward to look at the braised meat, their eyes all lit up. Zhang frowned, "It's not good for us to eat braised meat openly! If someone spots us, I don't know how much trouble we will cause."

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I know it's troublesome, but this braised meat was given by Mr. Chen, so I can't refuse it."

As soon as I said trouble, there was trouble. At this moment, two sturdy men came over to Zhang Chen, looking at the rice and braised meat in his bowl. They said with a smile, "Boy, we brothers like your bowl of braised meat rice. We want to exchange this wild vegetable cake with you."

Zhang Chen looked at the two men in front of him, his eyes calm, and just asked: "Why? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Hearing this, the man rolled up his sleeves and sneered, "Why? You actually asked me why? It seems that after all this journey, you still don't know the dangers of the world and the rules of this world. Since you ask why, I will teach you a lesson with great compassion and tell you personally why."

The two men had vicious looks in their eyes and stretched out their hands directly towards Zhang Chen.
