Chapter 467 [Tree Heart] 36
The arrival of this rebel army is a good thing for Wancheng. At least after Feng Lan leaves, there is a real army to maintain order for a period of time. When the new power structure becomes familiar with its operation and the people of Wancheng confirm that the new order is better than the old order, even if Feng Lan and the army leave, the people of Wancheng will no longer think of resisting.
Walking down the river, the river flows continuously, and Feng Lan can still hear the elongated calls and leisurely mountain songs behind him.
Liu Qi also hummed a few words out of habit. Because he was relaxed, a long gray tail emerged from his clothes and swung slowly behind him.
The river water is clear and the river channel is winding. Following the river all the way down, the green hills on both sides gradually become flat. Feng Lan still remembered the copy mission, so he did not walk too far. After reaching the plain, he no longer went down the river, but circled along the mountains and forests.
But are wars really happening too frequently in this world?
"Da da da da——"
"Bam—"
A fierce bang accompanied by the sound of flying bullets suddenly sounded in the mountains. Feng Lan swept his spiritual sense and saw two groups of people in the valley behind a hill in front. One group was Japanese soldiers, with a large number of people, more than a hundred people, who used Type 97 military three-wheeled motorcycles as cover and fought against a group of more than thirty volunteers in the opposite woods.
Judging from the favorable terrain height differences and the locations of the ground mine explosions, this rebel army took the initiative to ambush and attack.
There was a big gap in the number of people and equipment, but Feng Lan could see clearly that this rebel army was experienced. Each of them had various guns, and they hit the enemy every time they aimed. The grenades and homemade explosives they threw were also very accurate. They were all good candidates!
Feng Lan estimated that by the time she and Liu Qi crossed the hill, the battle should be over.
"Yoyo~"
The paper donkey brayed twice, and the rebels who were cleaning up the battlefield heard the noise. Two people, one big and one small, came slowly from a small path in the distance. They took a look and made a gesture after confirming that they were not the follow-up support of the Japanese, but rather fellow villagers walking on the mountain road.
"Wait a minute, fellow! There are devils ahead!"
Feng Lan waved her hand, and after the last group of people who were cleaning up had left, she walked leisurely along the road where the smell of gunpowder had still lingered.
Along the way, he witnessed many battles of all sizes, and also stopped in villages and cities. There were cities controlled by warlords, as well as cautious and suspicious villagers. He also saw villages that were occupied and measured by the Japanese. On the one hand, they fought on this land, and on the other hand, they measured and calculated this land. Sometimes they disguised themselves as traveling merchants and traveled around.
Those spies who were sent to Rabbit Country from a young age, their manner of walking, speaking and eating are no different from those of Rabbit Country people, but they always have a heart towards Foot Basin Country. Decades of integration have not made them give up. These people are more cunning and vicious than ordinary enemies.
There was continuous artillery fire and corpses were as numerous as cattle hairs. Feng Lan had also seen corpse drivers driving corpses at night. Some were ordinary people who took money to do the job. They tied the corpses with bamboo poles and drove them away slowly. There were also those corpse drivers with psychic means who used bells and talismans to control the corpses to move forward.
Feng Lan had communicated with them when he stayed in the mountains at night. To put it bluntly, these corpse-drivers were just trying to make a living in the troubled times. Sometimes when they met, they would share some experiences and skills with each other.
The person walking in front and ringing the bell is not a corpse driver. Usually they will choose an intact corpse in front and pretend to be a corpse in the middle. If there are bandits robbing the road, or ghosts and goblins causing trouble, they can scare away the bandits or ward off the evil spirits.
"Anyway, the body will be fine. I only have my life to live. After those things leave, I can come back and pick it up during the day."
"I like to cover my eyes with linen. This way it doesn't affect my vision and I don't have to close my eyes."
"You can use sticky rice to plug your ears, nose, and mouth. This will reveal less of your identity and make it harder for spirits to detect you. If you're desperate, use some eyebrow blood, or a large rooster with a strip of cloth tied around its mouth. Choose one with a large, energetic comb."
"The Taoist priests at Maoshan are quite effective. I asked for two talismans and placed them on my chest. They helped me avoid many disasters!"
"There's a small temple on Wuxing Mountain that's quite spiritual. I was passing by and there was a red fox practicing Taoism in the temple! That fox can even speak human language and heal illnesses! It cured my lumbar spine and even has its own Taoist name. It's amazing!"
Beside the fire, people with different accents were chatting quietly. Some threw a piece of sweet potato into the fire, some twisted thin wire to hold water and ate it with dry biscuits and pickles, and some had shot pheasants and pickled them during the day, and now they tore leaves and wrapped them in layers of leaves, and buried them in the ground next to the fire during this rare relaxing time, hoping to have a good meal.
Except for the twisted corpse in the shadows nearby, the scene looks quite harmonious and warm.
Feng Lan distributed some meat patties and seasonings to everyone, adding a little bit of deliciousness to this quiet night.
Occasionally, the flames would flicker, the wind would sway the trees, and there would be rustling sounds coming from the darkness. She would follow the scent of people and find the wild beasts and monsters here, and she would secretly deal with them.
There is no need to keep things that are cannibalistic.
After daybreak, everyone walked together for a short time and then separated.
Maybe some people will die on the road, after all, there are many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains. Some people will successfully complete the agreement, send the bodies back to their hometown, and then return home with the rewards for their hard work and relax.
But everyone is doing their best to make their lives better in this chaotic world.
Feng Lan vaguely understood the banyan tree spirit's thoughts, or rather, the other party never hid them, but just rarely spoke.
Kill to stop killing.
But recently, after watching the clone's journey and indirectly meeting all kinds of people, the banyan tree spirit never said anything like "I will start a killing spree after you leave", "Ha, humans are useless", or "There would be no suffering without people" again after the clone slowly left for two months before returning.
"It's still better in the mountains."
Returning to his original form as the banyan tree spirit, Liu Qi shed his human form and climbed up to the treetop. The breeze blew his slightly long and smooth hair. Liu Qi squinted his eyes and hummed a tune that he had learned from somewhere.
"A small bamboo raft floating in the river..."
“Only people come to the world…”
【Stop dithering! If you want to leave, leave now!】
The banyan tree spirit's words became increasingly aggressive, like a suppressed powder keg. Feng Lan stretched lazily and waited for a long moment before slowly speaking, "Then I'm afraid I can't leave for the time being. I still have two companions who haven't returned yet. They have to come with me."
【I do not know how? 】
The banyan tree spirit didn't believe it. Although Feng Lan's heartbeat could block part of it, it had never seen other players. Could it be that this was a lie?
"You'll know when they get here." Feng Lan didn't explain much.
The clone did not merge into the banyan tree. After three or four months, her cultivation level was also improved to a higher level, and she had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining. For this world, building the foundation is a big calamity, especially the thunder tribulation that breaks through the foundation. For the goblins, this is definitely the most difficult hurdle.
Feng Lan had no intention of helping the banyan tree spirit break through. Under the banyan tree spirit's cold observation, this player said that he was waiting for his companions, but his actions did not stop at all. He was thinking about rebuilding Huicheng.
