Survive in the beast world

Chapter 103 Bay City

Although Li Shizhen has been living comfortably in Howling Valley, his skills and reactions are still there. When he saw the black shadow, his first reaction was to protect Asha who was holding Ali next to him, and he pulled out the free gift bag that he carried close to him. With a small knife, just wait for the shadow to fall, and stab it hard.

A shout came from far below, which stopped the speed of the black shadow's attack in time, causing him to fall to the side with a long howl.

Li Shizhen clenched the knife in his hand, protected Asha, and looked at the feathered man vigilantly while stepping back. At this time, the man had gathered his metallic luster wings, stood aside, and looked down. .

Li Shizhen glanced at this man, and was surprised to see Ayun who was running from a distance. Ayun's face was very complicated, with anxiety, guilt, and joy all intertwined.

Li Shizhen was very calm in his heart, it seemed that this was Ayun's clansman, those people from Beicheng.This guy looks like a young man, not as tall as Bai and the others, only slightly taller than Li Shizhen. He looks like a human being. He is wearing a black robe, which looks very delicate. The cuffs and neckline are embroidered. The complicated golden pattern was unclear for a while, a bow was placed on one shoulder, and a quiver hung from the waist.

The wings behind this person are huge. If Li Shizhen read it correctly, it would be at least several meters long when unfolded.

Ayun ran up and seemed to want to explain something. Li Shizhen protected Asha and retreated into the crowd. He just looked at Ayun indifferently. If it hurts the people in Howling Valley, he will not interfere with Ayun's going or staying.

Before Li Shizhen had time to say anything to Ah Yun, a gust of wind blew up behind his neck, and he heard the voices of everyone behind him, it was so chaotic that he could not hear clearly, Li Shizhen dodged to one side instinctively, but it was not as fast as the gust of wind Voice.He felt a pain in the back of his neck, and when Ah Yun called out, his vision went dark and he no longer knew what happened.

Ayun didn't know why the military commander of the temple would knock Li Shizhen unconscious by himself, he explained in panic: "This man treats me very well, Mr. Wuchang, can you let him go?"

Wu Chang just coldly glanced at those Howling Valley people who were rushing to surround him, and gestured to the young man before him. He stretched his wings and hugged Li Shizhen and flew away from the sky of Howling Valley. It doesn't seem to affect his speed at all.The young man also hugged Ayun, followed closely behind, leaving behind the panicked Howling Valley crowd.

Seeing that their own clansmen had already flown up, the black shadows circling in the sky didn't stay any longer, lined up and headed east together.

Of course, these people couldn't have flown all the way from Beicheng. They stopped by the river and boarded a three-masted boat. There were still a lot of Yuren on board.

At this time, Ah Yun said to the young man who let him down: "Yu, tell the military commander to let Ah Chao go. He is the female of the leader here, and it will be very troublesome to bring him back."

You just shook your head: "I don't know. Originally, I just wanted to take that little female away. They can't raise them well anyway. We can't decide about Mr. Wuchang."

Ayun was startled, it turned out that You just wanted to take Ali away, he quickly waved his hands: "It's different here, they can take care of that little female."

You frowned and looked at Ayun: "Why did you go out for a while, it became so strange, of course it is best for the little females to go to Beicheng." Many tribes even threw the little females into the river in the hope that they would be killed. The residents of Bei City saved up and lived a good life, so the little females brought back to Bei City by the warriors of the temple might be able to go directly to the temple to serve the Holy God!

Ayun was taken aback for a moment. What he saw in Howling Valley was indeed different from Beicheng. Everything there was brand new and people were full of vitality. Unknowingly, Ayun was also full of expectations for it. He also wanted to see how far such a Howling Hollow would go.

As for Beicheng, he was born and raised here, so of course he deeply loves it.But Bay City is different from Howling Valley. Today's Bay City is so prosperous, and tomorrow's Bay City will be equally prosperous, but Howling Valley is different every day. It is impossible to predict what it will look like in the end.

Seeing Ayun's dazed expression was even more dissatisfied: "What's so good about those people? At first we thought you were taken away by the 'Grey Feather' people. It would be easy to find if you didn't see the smoke over there You wouldn’t 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 Wu Zhang to take that female away, Beicheng must be better than the dilapidated place just now.” Many females I want to go to Bay City but I can't go!

Ayun was a little anxious: "But he already has a male! His concubine is a very difficult guy!"

After the military commander gave the order to sail the boat and had Li Shizhen tied up, he turned around and heard what Ayun said, and frowned, "You are from Beicheng. For Beicheng, there is no one who is not easy to provoke people!"

Ayun didn't dare to refute, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

The military commander asked: "How did you get taken away that day? We all thought you were taken away by the 'Grey Feather' people, but we didn't find you after fighting the 'Grey Feather' people all the way."

Ayun bowed his head and replied: "I have never seen Hui Yu's people, but when I woke up, I saw people from Howling Valley."

Wu Chang frowned: "Then it seems that they also took those things and the female away?"

Ayun nodded.

Wu Chang snorted coldly, if he hadn't lost so many females and made such a big fuss, he wouldn't have come in person.

Ayun raised his head and glanced at Wuchang, summoned up his courage and said: "Master Wuchang, Ah Chao...can you let him go back? He has already gone through the ceremony."

Wu Chang glanced at A Yun, noncommittal.If it weren't for the female's appearance, he wouldn't rush back to Bei City in such a hurry, at least he would have to bring back the lost females and things, but now, I believe Priest Zuo would agree with his judgment.

Ayun had no choice but to stay by Li Shizhen's side. The military commander outside sent several temple warriors to guard him. Probably because of Ayun's repeated pleas, even he was put under house arrest in disguise.

When Li Shizhen woke up, it was already dark, he only felt his body shaking unceasingly, thinking he was not awake yet.When he propped himself up, he still felt a pain in the back of his neck, and he didn't know what happened.

Ayun sat next to him guiltily and said, "Are you awake?"

Li Shizhen saw the surrounding environment and Ayun again, and immediately reacted: "I was taken away by your people?"

Ayun nodded, and quickly said: "I don't know why, I asked Master Wu to let you go, but he didn't agree."

Li Shizhen frowned: "They only took you and me?"

Ayun said in a low voice: "Yes." He didn't dare to say that You originally wanted to take Ali away, but it was the military chief who insisted on taking away Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen touched his body, and all the sharp things like knives and whistles were gone!This room is also sealed everywhere, the windows and doors are closed from the outside, and even if he can escape by jumping into the river, Li Shizhen is silent when he thinks of the terrible predators in the river.

He must first figure out why these people took him away?Could it be that they intend to detain him in exchange for Bai?Li Shizhen glanced at Ayun. He didn't know if Ayun had said something to those people, but theoretically speaking, it should be impossible. Ayun was always by his side. In this era, no matter how developed Beicheng was, he would I don't believe that there can be any tool for direct message delivery over long distances.

Li Shixuan asked: "It's fine to take you away, why did they take me away?"

Ayun shook his head: "I don't know either."

Li Shizhen looked at Ayun's expression, based on his understanding of Ayun, Ayun didn't lie, it's so strange!They didn't care about the other females who were brought back to Howling Valley, and they tied themselves up?

Li Shizhen couldn't do it for the time being, he was very worried about the situation in Howling Valley at this time, he was taken away, and Bai didn't go back, I'm afraid it would be a mess.But in the current situation, he can't do much. If you want to use Ayun as a hostage to force the outsiders to release him, firstly, Ayun has been by his side for so long, he really can't do this kind of thing, and secondly, the outsiders The big river is nothing more than the forest and wilderness. If it is just living in the wild, he is not afraid even if he has no tools on his body now, but it is too dangerous to leave the boat on this river. Moreover, those people outside have wings, how can they escape if they are tied to Ayun? Dropping is a big problem.

After thinking wildly in his mind for a while, Li Shizhen's brain hurts from thinking about it, and he still has no solution. He sighed and could only wait and see what happened.

Apart from not letting them go out, the people outside didn't make things difficult for them. They had everything to eat and drink, but the utensils brought in were all wooden without any edges and corners, and the things were not brought in through the door, but from the door. Handed over a small window.He and Ayun's personal problems are also solved in the curtain in the corner of the room, and the sewage and dirt are also handed out through the small window.

Li Shizhen deeply felt that people outside didn't know him but were still so cautious, which could only explain one problem, they were determined to bring him back to Beicheng!

Encountering such a thing, Li Shizhen felt helpless, the other party had no chance to take advantage of it, how to escape was really a problem.

However, the voyage of the ship did not leave much time for Li Shizhen to think, because it was going downstream, but within a few days, what was handed in from outside was water, food and two sets of light-colored clothes.Li Shizhen took a look at the style, it was the one that Ayun wore to Howling Valley that day.

Li Shizhen felt a little nostalgic for not wearing such cotton clothes for many years, but he felt a little displeased when he had to change into this kind of clothes with the other party's logo in this scene.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Li Shizhen didn't want to use this conflicting behavior to arouse the other party's vigilance to him, but changed his clothes silently.

When the cabin door was opened, Li Shizhen couldn't help squinting his eyes. There were two rows of people standing in the aisle outside. It seemed that even if he wanted to escape, this was not a good time.

What makes Li Shizhen feel strange is that those people are obviously the same as the young man at the beginning, they are all races with huge wings growing on their backs, but at this time they are wrapped in long robes, and even the wings are completely covered by the long robes, making them appear to be behind. Very bloated and bulky, it looks very strange.

Ayun followed behind Li Shizhen, saying something to a middle-aged Lengsu Yuren, with a very uneasy expression. This Yuren was dressed like everyone else, but the patterns on the cuffs, neckline, and belt were more complicated and overlapping, and his status was obviously higher. Gao, it seems that this is the military chief Ayun mentioned.

Li Shizhen 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 it was he and Bai who were involved in the fight by these people by the river.He should have never been exposed to these people that day.

The language they used was a little strange to Li Shizhen, he couldn't understand it, and his attention was quickly diverted by the surrounding things, this place is actually a pier?

Li Shizhen was very surprised and looked outside through the "human wall". Many ships were either docking to unload their cargo or embarking on a long voyage. There were also great differences among the ships. There are many small wooden rafts of that kind, and the best one is the one that Li Shizhen is on, with three masts, a large cabin, and a big "日" mark on the sail.

The people around seemed to know that this ship was not easy to mess with, and those who docked, sailed, and unloaded were all far away, and took a detour, and there were still people bowing and bowing to this side.Not far away as far as the eyes can see a tall city.

The military chief didn't leave much time for Li Shizhen to wait and see curiously. He didn't know what he had finished communicating with Ayun, so he took the lead stepping on the pedals and walked down the boat.

Li Shizhen curled his lips secretly. These people were really careful. They surrounded him with a human wall on and off the boat, and the busy ships around them were far away from them. There was a vacuum around them, and there was no room to escape.

He acted very witty, and followed Wu Chang and A Yun off the boat without hesitation.

Then, they got into a carriage!

Li Shizhen was very surprised that this Beicheng could already make a carriage, and he hadn't taken the time to make the wooden wheel, and he saw the finished product here.And the one pulling the cart was really a horse. Li Shizhen had seen it from afar on the southern grasslands, but he didn't expect that Beicheng had already been domesticated successfully.

This carriage is also painted black with golden patterns, with the word "日" shining brightly on it.

There are two rows of wide seats in the carriage, he and Ayun sit on one side, and the military commander sits on the other side. When the door of the carriage is closed, Li Shizhen and the military commander sit face to face in a closed space, which is really unpleasant.

There were probably other drivers outside, and the carriage gradually began to move forward. Li Shizhen focused on the world outside the window. A Yun seemed to know Li Shizhen's curiosity, and tried his best to explain the story of Beicheng to him. Everything, probably also has the meaning of showing off his hometown to Li Shizhen?

Li Shizhen smiled, still thanked Ah Yun for his kindness, and listened carefully. It was the first time he saw a city in this world, and he was very curious.

The military commander on the opposite side just closed his eyes and meditated, and didn't say a word about the exchange and discussion between the two females. He neither meant to stop A Yun's introduction, nor did he open the window to let Li Shizhen watch enough, as if he didn't listen to anything It's as if you haven't seen it, it's a live instant version of turning a blind eye, hearing it and not hearing it.

Li Shizhen didn't care about Wu Chang, he just began to understand the city wholeheartedly, and he didn't know whether the information he heard by chance would play any role when he was escaping or in the further future .

He thought he had already arrived in Beicheng when he heard the lively voices outside and the vaguely seen crowds in the stalls, but Ayun explained that this was just a trading market spontaneously organized by people outside the city, and it was far from inside Beicheng. It is more prosperous and more orderly, and many materials that are special products of Beicheng cannot be seen outside.

Hearing that Li Shizhen was secretly amazed that so many people would come from afar to make a deal, Beicheng is not easy.

But no matter how noisy and crowded outside, once they saw the sign on the carriage from a distance, the crowd silently and automatically moved out of the way. The speed of the carriage did not slow down much in such a busy city.Seeing Wu Chang and Ayun's expressions seem to be accustomed to all this, this temple is really a privileged class in Beicheng.

When approaching the gate of the city, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Ayun said that they were queuing up to enter the city. Li Shizhen guessed that a fingerprint was required?Or what documents are needed?

Suddenly there was a whistling sound above the head, the queues around which were only a little noisy but orderly suddenly became chaotic, screams came from outside, and Li Shizhen even heard the sound of arrows being nailed to the carriage!

The carriage stopped completely, and even the horses outside were a little restless, causing the carriage to shake a little.

Li Shixuan couldn't help but feel moved when he thought that Bai had said that the people in Beicheng were fighting in the civil war. If he wanted to escape, this should be the best time!

However, to his disappointment, the military commander sat across from him with a calm expression, as if the arrows outside were floating clouds, and he didn't intend to get up at all, let alone go out to have a look.

Li Shizhen was greatly disappointed, it seemed that the Beicheng group must have something to rely on to defeat the enemy, 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 rebels 'Huiyu', and there are guarding weapons on the city wall. They only dare to harass them like this, and they will retreat in a while."

Li Shizhen nodded.

Ayun complained in a low voice: "Hui Yu's people are like this, they don't dare to do anything openly, they only dare to attack and harass the people who change the salt..."

Probably guessed that Ayun was talking to Li Shizhen about the chaos outside and the rebellion against the party, and heard the key word "gray feather". if.

Sure enough, the chaos outside gradually subsided, and in the returning quiet, someone outside reported something to Wuchang through the window, Wuchang nodded and said something, and the carriage started to move forward again, this time faster than before Not a lot.Probably because he was shocked by Wu Zhang's gaze just now, Ayun didn't dare to explain anything to Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen himself saw a lot of shops and the like, displaying all kinds of goods, including pottery, grain, and cloth.It may be because the rebel party has harassed it just now, and the flow of people is not large, but it can be seen that the shops and streets in this city have been very reasonably designed. Not only are neat trees planted along the roadside, but even bright flowers are planted along the roadside.

It was probably a commercial area. The further you go through this area, the fewer and fewer people there are, but the clothes are getting more and more refined. Li Shizhen even saw some people walking in some small squares and the like. Walk and chat.But among all these people, there are males and females, but the males don't have any animal shape.

It seems that, as Ayun said, beast-shaped males are not welcome in Beicheng.

But this is not the only doubt in Li Shizhen's heart. He always feels that there is something very unharmonious in this city.Logically speaking, if it is a city that develops naturally, it is impossible to design such a reasonable design in many small places. Li Shizhen suddenly discovered that whether it was just now or now, these streets actually distinguish between sidewalks and roadways. Not only that, they It also distinguishes forward and reverse lanes according to the direction the carriage is moving!

All cars going forward kept on the left, and Li Shizhen was sitting on the left all the time, and no carriage dared to overtake the car they were in, so he didn't react just now!It wasn't until he reacted to the sidewalk just now that he saw a carriage going the other way through the gap in the opposite window that he figured it out.

Silently continuing to observe through the crack of the window, Li Shizhen found that the road was getting wider and wider, and the people on the side of the road were gradually changing. Salute reverently.Maybe that temple is finally here?

Li Shizhen had more guesses about this Beicheng and the temple in his heart.

The carriage did not go in through the main entrance of the temple, but detoured to the side entrance. Li Shizhen vaguely saw the snow-white temple wall, but he didn't know what material it was made of. Very holy.

Li Shizhen silently counted the rhythm of the carriage moving forward. The inside of this temple is not small. There was another sound of a carriage, and it seemed that the people following behind had also arrived.

Wu Zhang said something, but the door of the carriage was not opened, and it seemed that a different person was driving the carriage outside, and the carriage started to move forward again.

Li Shizhen didn't know what was going on, but he also felt confused and surprised when he saw Ayun's expression, obviously he didn't know why the outside arranged like this.

Anyway, for Li Shizhen, he finally changed to a particularly quiet corner and continued to be under house arrest.

Before entering the room, Li Shizhen stopped and looked at the military commander: "There must be a reason why you arrested me."

Ayun consciously translated this sentence.

The military commander only glanced at Li Shizhen lightly, and actually answered something seriously.

Ayun was also very surprised, and answered with the character of Lord Wuchang!

It took him a long time to remember to translate it to Li Shizhen: "Master Wu said, you can live here with peace of mind, and you will know the reason."
