You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 68: Wheat Ears Along the Way

The townspeople gathered together, Xiao Changcheng stood at the front, surrounded by a few young men, including a butcher and a scholar. They were all physically strong and could help Xiao Changcheng with some chores.

The sadness disappeared from his face, as if nothing had happened.

If it were in the past, when all the people in the town were still together, some people would probably gossip about how he showed no expression when his mother died, which was unfilial.

But now, those people have all run away.

Or maybe they are all dead.

"Everyone is here?"

"We're all here."

After receiving the reply, Xiao Changcheng nodded, raised his hand and shouted:
"Let's go!"

The donkeys and horses were driven in circles, and the carts contributed by Qian Chen were put to use. They were loaded with rice and meat, which could provide food for the townspeople for the next few days.

Seeing the large group of people starting to march, Caiyi also felt emotional and said to Zuo Chen: "Master, let's follow them."

“Caiyi,” Zuo Chen shook his head and got off the donkey cart: “You go with them.”

Caiyi was shocked and suddenly became panic-stricken and confused.

She also hurriedly got off the donkey cart, her face flushed with anxiety:
"Master, did I... did I do something wrong? Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think I'm lazy? I will definitely practice hard. If your clothes are dirty, I will wash them for you. If you are greedy, I will find delicious food for you. Don't chase me away."

As she said this, tears actually fell, her legs went weak and she wanted to kneel down to Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen simply reached out and hit Caiyi on the head with the blade of his hand.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

Caiyi squatted down with her head in her hands.

"What are you thinking about?" Zuo Chen laughed dumbly, "I just ran into that master and found the direction of the path he led us down. We are going in opposite directions. You are not good enough and you will hinder me if you go there. So I thought of letting you follow the main force to the monk's place first. When I kill Dahuang, I can go to find you.

"Besides, you are the only one who can scoop out the porridge from my big bucket without it running out. Others who try to steal it greedily will only drink less and less. No matter what, you have to follow them to the monks first."

Caiyi's sad face finally relaxed after hearing this. She showed an unpleasant smile and said, "You scared me to death."

Zuo Chen pulled out the golden boy and jade girl from his sleeves, and the two little kids were handed to Caiyi with confused faces.

Caiyi carried them both carefully.

"I need to go to the center of Xuzhou. The journey is not short. Even if I use the magic of shrinking the earth, it will take seven days to go back and forth. Within seven days, I estimate that King Kang may send troops to attack the monk's land. If the two Golden Bean Generals are restrained by then, and there are still others who want to kill the people, you will have to protect them."

"Don't worry! I will kill anyone who dares to steal the people's food!"

Because she was holding two little babies, Caiyi couldn't wipe the tears from her face. Although she said this in a fierce voice, it was not convincing.

"Okay." Zuo Chen felt that he had explained almost everything he needed to, so he waved his sleeves, turned around and left alone.

Watching him and the townspeople walking away, Caiyi sniffed and said loudly:

"Master! Don't abandon me."

"The golden boy and the beautiful girl are still in your hands. I will definitely come back."

He turned his back and waved, but his figure disappeared from Caiyi's eyes in an instant, leaving no trace.

Caiyi dragged the two little babies onto her shoulders and wiped away her tears with her sleeves.

……

"Master, aren't you going with us?" Xiao Changcheng was slightly surprised.

"Master, we have more important things to do." Caiyi was the chef, standing on the donkey cart, distributing porridge to the villagers around her and said, "If you have any problems, you can tell me and I will try my best to find a solution."

Caiyi was still a little unsure when she said this. She didn't have much ability now, and if the townspeople really got into a disaster or fell ill, she felt that she might not be able to handle it.

Even the pot of porridge that Zuo Chen left for her was in danger of being eaten up.

According to Zuo Chen's previous statement, he still couldn't create something out of nothing, so this pot of porridge actually used the method of bamboo basket storage. It seemed to have a small capacity, but the bottom of the pot was actually as deep as the ocean. But this was like a vault. Ordinary people didn't have the key and could only take the surface. Cai Yi had true Qi in her body, so she could take porridge from the bucket continuously.

But this porridge will be eaten up sooner or later.

What will I give to my fellow villagers to eat then?
Caiyi sighed.

When she was in Qingzhou, she had little ability, and when she had nothing to do, she would always fantasize about saving the world and becoming a great heroine. As a result, when the opportunity really fell into her hands, she became worried and anxious.

It’s difficult.

Xiao Changcheng didn't know what Caiyi was thinking. Seeing that the villagers had formed a long line and were walking forward, he also took out the wheat ears that Zuo Chen had given him.

The golden wheat fell into his hands, and Xiao Changcheng really didn't know how to use this thing.

"Shake it...shaking it will work? Can I really use this magical power?"

Xiao Changcheng grumbled a little, but still obediently began to shake the wheat ears left and right.

No reaction.

Xiao Changcheng blinked his eyes, not daring to stop his hands. He could only walk forward while shaking the wheat ears. He wondered if there was something wrong with his movements, and whether he should ask Caiyi for help later.

But suddenly, Xiao Changcheng heard a child's cry behind him:
"Hey! Wheat is growing on the ground! Wheat is growing on the ground!"

Looking back, I suddenly discovered that green wheat roots were beginning to rise under the barren soil!
These green wheats, like seedlings, grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they were as tall as walking children. Their color also turned from green to gold, shining brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Xiao Changcheng was stunned for a moment before he realized what Zuo Chen meant.

As long as you gently shake the wheat ears, if there are any surviving people from Xuzhou around, they will naturally come up.

If the ground were covered with wheat ears, a living person would definitely chase after it if he saw it.

The method Zuo Chen mentioned is to pave a long road!

"Take the sickle and cut some on the way, but don't cut it all off, leave some."

Xiao Changcheng reacted immediately and called out to the team behind him.

The people in the team talked one by one, and those who were strong picked up their sickles, their eyes full of energy.

Xiao Changcheng walked in front, shaking the wheat ears.

The wheat is growing behind.

After cutting it in half and leaving the other half, there was still some left on the ground.

A gust of wind blew from afar, and the golden wheat rolled like waves in the wind.

The refugees walked along the way, moving forward silently like people walking on the waves.

Some people seemed to emerge from the surrounding wasteland. They were skinny, said nothing, and followed silently at the end of the team.

The team is growing bigger and bigger.

Follow the wheat and become the wave.

……

Zuo Chen, who was walking towards the center of Xuzhou, seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head slightly and looked back to the south.

After listening for a few seconds, Zuo Chen smiled and felt refreshed all over.

Well, my mind is at ease!
Look back and keep moving forward.

There was still a wasteland in front of him, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, with gusts of evil wind blowing.

It seemed that he was about to go to hell on earth.
