Chapter 375.
The number of people in this team that traveled from the Central Plains to the 178 Barrier was not too many, although Ren Xiaosu was lying in the backseat with serious injuries and couldn’t move, but he could tell by listening roughly that the team was about twenty people, with six off-road vehicles making up a convoy, and there was also a vehicle at the back that specialized in hauling supplies.
In the convoy, the main person is probably that pair of siblings called Wang Shengzhi and Wang Sheng Yin, but these two people don’t seem to have much of a stance, they seem to be very easy-going, and the other people in the convoy don’t have much pressure when facing them.
While traveling, Ren Xiaosu checked his wounds, the laceration on his right abdomen was very shocking, fortunately these people sewed up his wounds, or else before he woke up and used the black medicine, I’m afraid his life would be gone.
The stitching of the wound was regular and neat, it could be seen that the person who sewed this wound was very careful and attentive.
Listening to the content of these people’s speech, Ren Xiaosu realized that he had been taken out by the flood for more than a hundred kilometers, and he didn’t even know how he survived.
When it was time to eat there would be Wang Shengzhi’s subordinates who would bring the warmed up instant meals to Ren Xiaosu, while Ren Xiaosu would eat silently in the car, silent.
However, everyone in the caravan knew that he had just suffered a great misfortune, so it was relatively normal for him to feel silent.
After the sun set, the caravan camped on time, Ren Xiaosu listened to them discussing the situation in the northwest and southwest around the campfire, and a man said, “How come this side is suddenly at war, hasn’t it not been fought for several decades, and we haven’t paid attention to this side before.”
But heard Wang Shengzhi laughed: “In the past is inconvenient transportation, the Central Plains region of the families and not much interest in the southwest, their own affairs still do not understand it, which have the time to care about this side of the matter, anyway, and there is not much intersection.”
The geographic location of the southwest is destined to become a semi-isolated area, but it seems to be because of the sudden outbreak of war, resulting in the Central Plains region, some people’s eyes are also cast to this place.
“It’s said that that Qing Zhen is a very powerful character,” Wang Shengyin said after some thought, “Although we don’t know the details of the war, but after Qing and Yang knocked off Li, it seems like Yang was also played by Qing Zhen, this kind of warlike person, we must be more careful. ”
In the eyes of outsiders, this war up to the present figure is as if Qing Zhen is single-handedly manipulating the general, from the beginning to the end, it seems to be Qing Zhen’s ambition and scheming.
However, only those who are in the situation will understand, Qing Zhen all the way to just plan to protect themselves.
As Qing Zhen himself said, but make him and two hectares of good land, can match Qing’s seal of command.
That era of the torrent, resting on the status quo will eventually perish, the dark long road, before seeing the light who can not turn back.
Someone suddenly turned his head and asked Ren Xiaosu: “Are you not from the Northwest, do you know how this war was fought?”
Ren Xiaosu shook his head, “I’m not sure, I’m just a drifter, how do I know these things.”
The person who spoke scratched his head, “That’s right, these things are too far away from you, hahaha, count me as asking in vain.”
Hearing this, Wang Shengyin asked Ren Xiaosu, who was half-sitting and eating in the car, “Right, I haven’t asked what your name is yet?”
Ren Xiaosu paused for a moment, “My name is Ren Xiaosu, my family was also washed downstream by the flood, if you guys come across someone looking for me in the Central Plains, please tell them the news that I’m still alive.”
This was the most Ren Xiaosu had spoken in a few days.
Originally Ren Xiaosu wanted to remain anonymous, but these people did not know the southwest and northwest, so Ren Xiaosu dismissed the idea, and he also hoped to find his lost family and friends, his name should be kinda special, with fewer renames, if Liu Yuan and Wang Fugui heard his name, they would surely be searching for him, right?
In fact, he also wanted to look for Yan Liu Yuan and them now, but it was too difficult to find people in the vast world, he still had more important things to do.
The pain and despair that Zong had brought to him during this period of time, Ren Xiaosu would have to repay them all.
It was just that his strength alone was limited, and Ren Xiaosu was thinking about how he should lend a hand.
Now in front of this group of people seem to want to open the northwest business road, perhaps this is their own opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu suddenly feel that he understands Li Shentan very well, at the beginning he felt that Li Shentan is like the devil, but now Ren Xiaosu understand, when you are not personally in the hatred and pain, you should not persuade people to be generous.
Of course, understanding is one thing, do not be a friend is another.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “Is there a war in the Central Plains?”
Wang Shengzhi glanced at him and said, “That is a place where soldiers must fight.”
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, Wang Shengzhi’s implication was that there were also wars in the Central Plains, he asked, “Didn’t you say that the Central Plains was prosperous and wealthy.”
Wang Shengzhi smiled, “Precisely because it is prosperous and affluent ah, there is no conflict.”
At this time Ren Xiaosu didn’t ask further questions, that doesn’t fit his current status as an ordinary migrant, just Wang Shengzhi seems to have come to chatting interest: “What do you migrants in the northwest do on weekdays?”
Ren Xiaosu calmly said, “Planting, burning bricks, digging canals to irrigate crops.”
“How long does it take to burn a kiln of bricks?” Wang Shengyin suddenly asked.
Ren Xiaosu replied, “Green bricks take thirteen days, but it depends on how long it takes to add water in between, we have never burned red bricks, so we don’t know how long it takes for red bricks.”
Wang Shengyin nodded and stopped asking anything, that question just now seemed thoughtless, but was actually intentional.
However, just at this moment, several troop trucks suddenly came from the northwest direction, everyone stopped talking and looked over there, Ren Xiaosu’s heart sank when she saw the longsword symbols on those vehicles, that was the symbol of Zong’s consortium.
This place was at least a hundred kilometers away from the Zong Clan, how could the other party suddenly appear here?
He moved his body towards the car and hid his face in the shadows of the car.
However, he saw Wang Shengzhi and the others still sitting by the campfire as if they weren’t worried at all.
Those cars stopped next to the campground, and three Zong’s regular army combat squads came down from the cars, and the leader, who was tall and looked like an officer of Zong’s, wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, “Who are you people?”
Wang Shengzhi turned his wheelchair around to face the officer and smiled, “We are from Zhongyuan, going to the 178th barrier, and you are?”
The officer did not answer Wang Shengzhi’s question, but continued, “What are you doing at the 178th Barrier?”
“Doing business,” Wang Shengzhi said briefly.
“This road, passes through my Zong’s jurisdiction, why don’t you all come back to Zong with me first, and then we’ll release you all after we figure out the situation?” The officer said, the officer seemed to be unclear about the identity of the visitor, so he was still speaking politely.
However, Wang Shengyin said, “Wouldn’t that be a detour, we’ll go our own way, and the Zong Clan’s wells don’t interfere with river water.”
Once the Zong officer heard Wang Sheng Yin say this, he was no longer polite, he said to the soldiers beside him, “Take them all back.”
Then the Zong officer was heard saying to Wang Shengzhi, “I’m sorry everyone, it’s forbidden to pass through here.”
Ren Xiaosu was suddenly puzzled, could it be that the Zong wanted to isolate the 178 Barrier in the Northwest so that the 178 Barrier would not be interconnected with the Central Plains?
