Ye An

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Jason pushed open the door, still smelling of blood, obviously just returned from hunting outside the city.

"Organize two teams and set off for the Merchant City tomorrow," Xiao Yun said.

Merchant City?

Jason froze for a moment.

"Boss, there is chaos there, Qiluo is dead, and the forces in the city are in a mess, this time is over?" Thinking of some possibility, Jason suddenly became excited, "Swallow it?"

"No." Xiao Yun raised the long knife, looked at the light and shadow reflected on the back of the knife, "go to business."

"Business?" Jason was puzzled.

Today's merchant city is like a gunpowder keg, which may explode at any time. All forces, large and small, are busy fighting, aiming at the throne of the city lord, so how can they even think about doing business?

"Pharmacist." Xiao Yun sheathed the knife and said concisely, "Bring more people to grab the pharmacist. The chaos in the merchant city will last for a while. Bring the best pharmacist back, understand?"

Jason suddenly realized.

Since the commercial city monopolized pharmaceuticals, the price of medicines has been rising again and again. Even if other people are dissatisfied, they have nothing to do.

Qi Luo's madness has returned to madness, and her strength is indeed extraordinary.With her sitting in the city, not many people dare to make trouble easily.Before you make up your mind to completely turn your face, the business must go on, no matter how high the price is.

There was no sign of Qi Luo when she was alive. When the news of her death came out, the merchant city was in chaos immediately, and external forces were also ready to move.

"After this operation, don't send people out for the time being." Xiao Yun got up and walked to the window, with his arms folded, and his back leaning against the window rail, the drizzle hit the glass and spilled into the room along the unclosed sash, Wet his forehead hair, "Wait until the rainy season is over, and go to Frog Island again."

"Yes." Even though Jason was curious, he knew his own position and would not ask questions repeatedly.Since the city lord ordered, then do as ordered.In fact, having experienced that narrow escape, he was also full of curiosity about the changes on the isolated island.

The Hunter City organized its people to set off, and the convoy passed through the rain curtain. The hunters in the car took off their jackets and spread their wings in the heavy rain. With wild laughter and the sound of the engine, they roared towards the Merchant City.

Qiancheng, Hongcheng, Heicheng, etc. also sent teams successively. Under the agitation of various forces, the chaos in the Merchant City further escalated.

At the same time, Ye An, who was living on an isolated island, ushered in a rare period of peace.

After returning to the cave, the mutant python fell into a deep sleep again.Ye An has a feeling that it won't wake up again until the rainy season is over.

In the previous battle, the right eye of the mutated python was injured, and a large number of scales were burned at the corner of its mouth and both sides of its body.The old scales fell off one after another, and new scales began to grow, covering the new pink flesh.

As the mutated python breathed up and down, the sound of rubbing scales echoed in the cave.

Wrapped in two animal skins, Ye An lay on a bed made of wooden boxes, tossing and turning without feeling sleepy.He simply sat up, lit a torch, and planned to go back to the cave to have a look.

The goods on the merchant ships are all piled up in the underground hole, and it is safe to be safe. It is not a solution for a long time.The cave is cold and damp, and food and medicine will be affected. After a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be damp and deteriorated.

Ye An originally wanted to build a house, but the rain kept falling, and there was no dry place on the island.

He had tried several times, choosing a place with a higher terrain, and the shovel would also seep water when digging, and it was impossible to lay the foundation at all.If you build a wooden house casually, it will fall down when the wind blows, and it will not last through the rainy season or the snowy season. It is a waste of energy.

In this case, the plan to build a house can only be put on hold until the end of the rainy season.

Holding the torch in one hand, Ye An walked along the dark tunnel.

The cold wind blows, and there is the sound of roaring water in my ears.The closer you get to the cave, the clearer the sound of the water.Turning a corner, it was a stone wall that was knocked down by a mutant python.

The cave was in a mess.

The mud piled up under the feet, and most of the parts near the tunnel were hardened into lumps. The part near the waterfall was still extremely muddy, and there were a lot of gravel and branches wrapped in it.

The walls on both sides of the cave were destroyed, and the side leading to the bird's nest was smashed down by the mutated python. The mutated birds in the cave disappeared, leaving only a few nests wrapped in mud.

The cave where the mutated bird nests goes deep into the mountain, and the entrance to the outside world is very small, just between the two waterfalls, which is more suitable for living in comparison.Ye An stepped across the gravel and walked to the cave where the bird's nest was located. He felt that the water vapor was significantly reduced, and the wind was not as strong as it was on the opposite side.

"It's better to live here."

Walking around the wall, Ye An bent his fingers and tapped it, not letting go of any corner, not finding any holes or passages hidden in the dark, and became more and more determined in his mind.

"Move, must move!"

Ye An looked up at the top of the cave, and there was a slanting light, making the cave not so dark.

Seven or eight tree roots of different thicknesses penetrated the gaps in the rocks, climbed down from the top of the cave, and formed intertwined knots, covering the entire wall.It not only ensures the temperature inside the cave, but also acts like a giant umbrella to block the wind and rain outside the cave.

There are wooden thorns lifted by external force on the root of the tree, and there are many fish bones left on it, as well as the fur of some mutant animals.It should be left by the mutated bird that lived here before.

In addition to tree roots, there are also a lot of branches and dry grass stored in the cave, which are all left when the mutated birds built their nests. Now they are wrapped in mud, and they can't even be used to light a fire.

"not bad."

Ye An turned around twice, becoming more and more satisfied with the cave.

Before moving in, he needs to clean up the cave and completely block the passage leading to the collapsed cave to avoid further dangers.As for the cave where he was recovering from his injuries, it can be used as a storage room and a kitchen, to move out some wooden boxes in the cave, and to polish some handy tools to prepare for the end of the rainy season.

"There is a bed here."

As long as the rain is not too heavy, Ye An will go to the merchant ship docked on the shore, and collect a lot of wood from the ship like ants moving house.Excluding the part reserved for building a house, it is more than enough to make some furniture.If you move out of the cave in the future, as long as the furniture is strong enough, you can take it away and continue to use it.

"Bed, table, clay stove, what else?"

Leaning against the wall, Ye An counted all the items, but he couldn't think of any omissions, so he decided to set these up first, and make up later when he thinks about it.

"Clean first."

After making up his mind, Ye An returned to the cave and brought several wooden boxes in batches. Inside the boxes were tools such as shovels, shovels, and hammers.Using ropes and branches, Ye An made a few more brooms to sweep away the debris and moss from high places.

After looking at the two caves, Ye An had an idea in mind. First, he shoveled off the mud on the ground with a shovel and threw it out along the entrance of the cave. Then he collected the gravel, smashed it into a suitable size with a hammer, and piled it up at the entrance of the collapsed cave. .

These are all physical tasks, no matter how good Ye An's physical strength is, if he spends several hours in a row, it will be somewhat unbearable.The arms and waist are a little sore, especially the injured wrist, which looks a little swollen.

Putting down the hammer, Ye An walked to the entrance of the cave while rubbing his wrists, raised his head to take a few mouthfuls of waterfall water, wiped away the water marks around his mouth with his backhand, and found a shadow flashing by, quickly grabbed a mutated fish that was washed down by the waterfall, Finger clasped the gills of the fish, planning to make fish soup tonight, as a reward for myself.

Next to the wooden box is a cloth bag, which contains the fruits and cured meat he prepared in advance.There is no time to light a fire while working, so I can only satisfy my hunger with fruits, and with a few pieces of bacon, I can ensure sufficient physical strength.

The mutated fish had tenacious vitality, and after being hit on the back of the head by Ye An with the back of a knife, it was still alive and kicking, constantly flicking its tail.After being stabbed in the head with a knife, he still shook it tenaciously a few times before completely calming down.

Ye An quickly cleaned the gills and viscera of the fish, coated the fish meat with a layer of salt, and hung it with a rope away from the entrance of the cave to avoid attracting uninvited guests.

"Keep working!"

After eating two fruits and a large piece of cured meat, Ye An tied up the package, continued to smash stones to block the passage, scooped up the caked mud with a shovel, and threw it out along the hole.

The clods of mud were sucked into the waterfall, quickly became fragmented, and disappeared in the rushing water.

It took Ye An a whole day to clean up the ground of the two caves and widen the walls.Feeling about the same, I started to clean the walls and roof.

The gravel and soil fell down and soon spread a layer on the ground.

When Ye An was shoveling out, he suddenly thought of something, leaning on the shovel with both hands, and found that there was a problem with his working order.It is obviously more labor-saving to deal with the walls and roof first, and then shovel out the soil and silt together.

If there is no food in the cave, he would not be in the mood to laugh now, he should have been annoyed and worried about wasting energy.

"It is estimated that they will be able to move in soon."

Ye An's movements were very neat. While talking to himself, his subordinates never stopped or slowed down. The walls, roof and ground quickly took on a new look.

A lot of tree roots climbing up the wall were cleaned up, and all the withered ones in the lower places were shoveled out.The shoveled tree roots were not wasted, they were all cut into similar lengths and piled neatly in the cave.

Almost busy, Ye An returned to the cave again, dragged a few rectangular planks, nailed them together, laid them on the stones that had been placed earlier, and fixed them with ropes.

"almost."

After cleaning up the wood thorns on the board, Ye An sat on the crude wooden bed, pressed down hard, stood up and stepped on it a few times, making sure that it will not break and collapse, and is quite satisfied with the finished product.

The hay in the cave cannot be used, and the wooden bed is only covered with animal skins for the time being.

The animal skins and cloths brought back from the boat were quite a lot, and Ye An spread five sheets in one go, which was simply extravagant compared to before.

The problem of sleeping was solved, and it was already dark.

Ye An inserted the lighted torch on the wall, and used the light to clean the stove. Using the materials in the wooden box, he erected a bracket on the stove, and hung a double-eared iron pot under the bracket.

The burning firewood sparked and crackled.

The water in the iron pot boiled quickly, Ye An cut the marinated fish into pieces, and added some seasonings he found in the pot.

While the fish was stewed, Ye An dug out another hearth, and put another iron pot on it. The pot was filled with water and millet, and a few slices of marinated meat were spread on it. Cover the pot and cook together.

After finishing all this, Ye An sat on the ground with his legs bent, watching the fire in the stove, breaking a branch from time to time to add to it.

The fire illuminated Ye An's face, the smoke drifted along the hole, the fish soup in the pot rolled a few times, and the millet porridge gradually released its aroma.The aromas are intertwined, which makes the index finger move.

The ferrets brought back from the boat hadn't been released from their cages yet, and when Ye An went back to the cave to pick up the dishes, he gave them a few pieces of bacon.The ferret curled up in the cage without moving, and Ye An didn't pay attention, and quickly left with a torch.

It wasn't until his back disappeared that the ferrets slowly relaxed their bodies. While vigilant against the sleeping mutant python, they tore the bacon in the cage, and soon their stomachs swelled.

The night was getting darker, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and it was pitch black near the isolated island.

The dilapidated merchant ship is moored on the shore, and the deck rails have been removed, leaving only the keel and the mast that cannot be dismantled.

Suddenly, shadows appeared on the river surface, which looked like driftwood at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be huge crocodiles.

There are hundreds of mutated crocodiles, all of which come from Crocodile Bay.

This year's situation is special. During the breeding season of the mutated frogs, they did not get enough food. In order to cope with the upcoming dry season and the more brutal snow season, they had to change their original habits and go upstream to find fish.

While chasing a group of silver carp, a group of crocodiles came to an isolated island and found water birds nesting near the stone platform. They left the water and climbed ashore one after another.

On the far bank of the river, wolves are rounding up a black bear.

The black bear is also unlucky, greedy for honey and leaving the territory, was found by hungry wolves, the battle began, either you die or I die.

The crocodiles preyed on waterfowl and chicks wantonly, and the frightened flock of birds quickly flapped their wings and flew up, circling in panic in the night sky, lucky to survive.

This gain did not satisfy the mutant crocodiles, and soon, they targeted the wolves and black bears on the opposite bank.

Strong limbs quickly climbed over the stone platform, and their powerful tails slid underwater. Like ghosts lurking in the water, the crocodiles silently approached the target.
