Although most of the people of Leizhou live in this big city, unlike Shenjing City, where every inch of land is valuable, everyone here lives in a much larger area, and even each family has a small courtyard full of all kinds of berries.

The rainforest of Leizhou is closed, many berries, and as a major export, it often has trade contacts with the surrounding Fu and Shun states, you must know that the cheap berries that can be seen here everywhere are expensive in the north of Great Xia.

When the three of them entered the inner house, they saw a dense array of large umbrellas of various colors hanging in the aisle.

The umbrellas are of different shapes, colorful, and some are even dripping with water downward, obviously they have just been used, and while the three of them are observing, the old lady who is slowly walking in front of her slowly introduces:

"Let's Leizhou, the umbrella is actually the same as clothes, it is a necessity, what you see is left behind by my husband, he is an umbrella maker, generally people who go out of the city to do work forget to bring an umbrella, they will borrow one from me, and return it to me when they return to the city, over time, my umbrella here is not less, but more, because someone always remembers wrongly, took his own umbrella and returned it to me, hahaha. ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she laughed to herself, and the three Dire Division behind her instantly stood in awe.

A few people walked through the corridor full of umbrellas on both sides, and stepped out, and suddenly there was a green in front of them, and the broad-leaved plants that resembled plantains, around the corner of the courtyard grew in a whole circle, on which hung bunches of pale yellow berries, and the raindrops hit them, making a crackling sound, like a rainforest music.

"Sit here for a while, boys, and I'll bring some bowls of ginger soup. ”

The old lady placed the three Dire Division next to a stone table, and then walked to the kitchen, Lin Xiao took off the hood above his head, revealing a calm and heroic face, stood up, and said:

"Mother-in-law, I'll help you. ”

After a while, Lin Xiao walked out with three smoking bowls, and then the four of them sat around the table, surrounded by the sound of rain hitting plantains, and Tie Zhu also took off the hood of the robe on his head, except for the night one.

Because he is a Southern Barbarian Clan, he has a totem on his face that has been drawn off at birth, and the people of Leizhou, and the Barren tribe in the Southern Barbarian are mortal enemies.

Yeyi didn't want to frighten this amiable, respectable, warm and kind old lady.

Lin Xiao drank a mouthful of ginger soup in the bowl, a hot breath rose, only to feel the damp air up and down his body discharged, although the three of them could almost ignore the surrounding environment by virtue of their cultivation, but compared with the extremely dry northwest, this sultry and humid Leizhou belonged to two extremes, and after taking another sip, the little killing god looked at the old lady beside him with a smile on her face and squinted her eyes, and asked:

"Mother-in-law, how long have you lived in this deserted town?"

"That's been too long. ”

A trace of memory and thought flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she continued:

"I have never left this place in my life, I and my family also met here, I remember about sixty years ago, this was still a small town, not called a town deserted city, and then the king of the West Barbarians made this the state capital of his fiefdom, which changed a lot. ”

"When I entered the city, I found that the ground of this city was covered with extremely rare flat stones, which was extremely rare in Great Xia. ”

Ye Yi, who was sitting on the side, suddenly asked, you must know that in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, except for Shenjing City, the first male city in the world, and several extremely rich state capitals in the east, Ye Yi has never seen a city that can be like a desolate city, and the ground is all paved with extremely flat stones one by one, which is an extremely large amount of work, and the entire Leizhou is surrounded by rainforests, and stone resources are extremely scarce, and where to transport such a number of stones is also a huge problem.

"Pretty good, isn't it?"

When the old lady heard this, a smile appeared on her old face, with a proud look, although her skin was already full of wrinkles, but she smiled very brightly, just like a woman in the southwest of Great Xia, warm and lively, hospitable, and then she continued to speak:

"It rains too often here, and if we use the land as the ground, the whole city will be soaked in muddy water for most of the year, which is extremely inconvenient, and it is not conducive to the movement of the carriage, so it took the Western Barbarian King a full twenty years to pave the ground of this big city with stones. ”

This is the second time that the old man has mentioned the three words of the Western Barbarian King.

One of the three kings of Great Xia, the king of the Western Barbarians, one of the fourteen clans with the surname Win, and the Zhongli clan.

"Mother-in-law, can you tell us the story about the King of the Western Barbarians?"

After Lin Xiao's soft inquiry fell, the old lady nodded and said with a smile:

"This has to start with a gambling contract, when the king of the West Barbarians first came, we are still a little-known town, and often those murderous barren people from the border land, everyone is panicked, and then the prince rebuilt this southern barbarian border, need to recruit troops to form a barbarian army, and we made a bet with the people of Leizhou, he said that all the men just go to the battlefield, protect the family and defend the country, and the wife and children at home are taken care of by the palace, he wants to build a male city, create the best conditions, for these families to live, to ensure that this life is safe and stable。 ”

Saying this, the old lady stood up, then walked to the eaves of the inner room, and watched the rainstorm in the courtyard beating the plantains, with her back to the three Dire Divisions, only the old man's voice continued to sound:

"Some people believe, some people don't believe, you have to know the situation at the time, believe in an outsider, it is extremely difficult to risk your life, but the one in my family is the first to respond, leaving a lot of umbrellas at home, the first to follow the prince to the border hundreds of miles away, although he did not come back, but the prince kept his promise and gambling contract, I lived in this extremely high position in the house, regularly someone sent food, sent clothes, this life is safe and stable, nothing is missing. ”

At the end, there was a slight choked sobbing in the old lady's voice, and the faces facing away from the three people had already been filled with tears.

After the old lady finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence, and after a long time, Lin Xiao generously spoke:

"No wonder my father admired the Southwest Barbarian Army the most, and once said that 500,000 barbarian troops guarded the southwest and never asked for people from the court. ”

The old lady turned, smiled again, squinted her eyes, and said:

"Whenever a foreigner like you comes to our town, my old woman will always take the trouble to say that we are good here, everyone is extremely hospitable, although the border is more chaotic now, but there is a barbarian army, and there are no big waves, by the way, the old body has not yet consulted, are you here to visit relatives or visitors?"

After the words fell, the three people who were originally sitting and drinking the ginger soup got up at the same time, then raised their hands and bent down to make a big salute to the old lady in front of them.

"Thank you mother-in-law for your hospitality, I'm waiting for the Great Summer Dire Division, on the order of the White Emperor Palace, to unite the barbarian army, cooperate with Your Majesty to conquer the southwest, and Yongzhen Nanban!"

After the salute, Yeyi stepped forward to support the frightened old lady, and then whispered again in her ear:

"Mother-in-law, your husband's revenge, we will avenge you. ”
