Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

This winter is particularly difficult. Where the refugees pass, the bark and grass roots are eaten, and not a single leaf is left.

Many experienced refugees have even summed up the recipes of many kinds of bark and grass roots. For example, the root bark of the tung hemp tree is very thick, and it tastes soft and glutinous after being roasted by fire.

There is white pulp in the root of a kind of bark tree. The root is beaten to rot, and the white pulp is washed out. Although the powder obtained is very bitter, it can satisfy one's stomach.

The root of yellow cogongrass can be eaten raw, and it is clucking when chewed. It is also a little sweet. The grass is poisonous, but it is not poisonous. It can also satisfy hunger when you are hungry. It is easy to produce various hallucinations, and Guanyin soil is easy to swell. Stomach constipation, eat only a small amount at a time.

Under such extreme living conditions, people will fight each other, and it is inevitable that the weak will eat the strong.

Then various groups annexed each other, growing in size like a rolling blood ball, and all refugees, men, women, old and weak, were entrapped in it.

After integration, there is now only one bandit group around Heishui Town, but the total size has reached 20,000 to 30,000 people.

But when so many people gather together, they have to eat and drink, even the bark and grass roots are not enough to chew on, so they can only move slowly, leaving no grass wherever they go.

After being hungry, the refugee group finally gathered up the courage to take a big step. They surrounded a place called Shangling Town.

Shangling Town is similar to Heishui Town. It has been controlled by a family surnamed Tian for generations. If they can control a place, the Tian family's force is naturally not weak.

Such a refugee, who had never practiced martial arts, took three days to blow open the gate of Tianjiazhuang with human life, kill all the masters of Tianjiazhuang, and occupied Tianjiazhuang.

There are also millions of catties of grain in Tianjiazhuang. After such refugees took down the Tianjia, they would eat tens of thousands of catties of grain every day.

With their first successful experience, the refugee gang has set their sights on Heishui Town.

Many of the refugees have been to Heishui Town before. They know that Zhang's family in Heishui Town is richer, and now they are raising ordinary people to open up wasteland. In their eyes, this kind of behavior is no different from wasting food.

………………

In the adobe house at the foot of Qifeng Mountain, Zhang He was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, his mouth gently opened and closed, and a green light appeared and disappeared between his nose and mouth.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and exhaled a cloud of green aura, which stood still in front of him and became a cloud, suspended in the air.

This is the spell he has cultivated in the past few days, the rejuvenation technique, the most wonderful technique for healing.

At this moment, his ears moved, and there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, coming here quickly.

When he got out of bed and walked out of the room, he saw Wei Peng riding a fast horse and was already near.

"Young Master, the big thing is bad. A group of bandits are heading towards Heishui Town."

"Is it the bandits that captured the Tian family in Shangling Town? When will they arrive?"

When Zhang He heard the words, his expression was calm, and he was not surprised. He knew that sooner or later the refugees would come to his town of Blackwater.

Therefore, he had already asked Magan to arrange a few cavalrymen to monitor the movements of the refugees.

"The person in front of the other party has already moved, but the movement is relatively slow. It may take this afternoon or evening to arrive at Heishui Town."

The distance between the two towns is only more than 30 miles, but the organization and discipline of the refugees are relatively poor.

When Zhang He returned to Heishui Town, everyone in the wasteland camps and villages had already begun to retreat to Heishui Town.

Anyway, it's winter now, there's nothing in the field, as long as people come back.

At this time, people in Heishui Town were panicking, and many people who had withdrawn from Heishui Town gathered together, spreading terrifying emotions to each other.

"I heard that the other party has nearly 30,000 people, and we have more than 10,000 people here."

"It's not just the difference in numbers. This group of bandits is extremely brutal. I heard that after Tianjiazhuang was shot down, everyone except the women was killed. The head of the farmer was cut off and is still hanging at the door."

Because of the generosity of the Zhang family, they were able to settle down in Heishui Town and had just eaten for a few days.

Now no one wants Heishui Town to be ruined by bandits. The safety of Heishui Town and the safety of Zhang's family are related to their jobs.

"It goes without saying that these bandits are all desperados, and the weaker ones have already died."

"What do you think we can do with this?"

"..."

There was also old man Zhang who was also panicked. When he saw Zhang He coming back, he grabbed Zhang He's arm as if he saw the backbone.

"Son, you've finally come back, what should I do? I heard that the Tian family died so miserably."

The old man Zhang was also frightened. He had experienced such a big thing in his life. If he was surrounded by bandits, his whole family would only have two heads, which would not be enough for others to chop off.

When he was poor in the past, he was not very afraid of death, anyway, living was a bad crime. Now he has finally become a landlord. Old man Zhang really doesn't want to die, and the grain in the warehouse has not been eaten yet.

"It's just a mob, no matter how many people there are, it's useless. Are you afraid of what he will do?"

Zhang He comforted the old man Zhang and waved to the fat tiger in the distance.

"Fat Tiger!"

"Do you have any orders, sir? When are we going to fight? Shall we go and kill in the middle of the road?"

Chubby Hu carried his big ring-shaped knife that pulled the wind, and trotted in front of Zhang Heyi with a clattering sound, looking very excited.

"Notify everyone to gather!"

"okay!"

In response, the fat tiger ran away like a gust of wind again. This kid has always been a nervous man. He didn't know he was afraid. He heard that he was going to fight again, so he sharpened his sword a long time ago.

After a while, two hundred guards lined up neatly on the training ground.

After several months of training~www.wuxiahere.com~ the current **** team is no longer the same as before, standing there, with their bodies upright like a javelin, with their eyes firmly fixed on the front, they already have a bit of a soldier's demeanor.

Due to the improvement of the food and the high-intensity training every day, a circle of tendons grew on everyone's body, and they looked more fierce.

In addition to the two hundred guards, many coolies rushed to the training ground one after another after receiving the notice.

These people are coolies scattered all over the land to open up wasteland. They practice for an hour or two every day. They have fought with bandits several times before, and they have seen blood.

Before, Wei Peng recruited refugees one after another and scattered them to open up wasteland in various places. He accepted six or seven thousand people, plus the original residents of Heishui Town, a total of about 15,000 people.

Today, only young and strong people were called, about 5,000 people.

These 5,000 people were dressed in tatters, and the weapons in their hands were not very complete. Only more than 1,000 people were equipped with long spears, and the rest had all kinds of weapons in their hands.

Like a sharpened stick, a hoe, a rake and the like are in the majority.

Zhang He wanted to equip everyone with gun heads, but after searching Heishui Town, there was not so much iron, and iron tools such as farm implements still had to be used for farming, so it was impossible to melt them all.

In Dehua City, there is a business that specializes in selling iron ingots, but now that the city is closed, money can't buy it.

The assembly of the coolies seemed to be much slower, and it took more than a quarter of an hour for the five thousand people to complete the assembly.

Zhang He was still a little disappointed by the speed of the gathering. If there was a surprise attack, it would be difficult to organize resistance at this speed.

It seems that there will be more large-scale exercises in the future.

Heishui Town organized manpower to prepare for battle, and waited outside Heishui Town for a long time. It was only in the evening that the legendary ferocious bandits arrived late.
