Carpenter Zhang listened to the rooster's crowing not far away, and he said with a hint of helplessness on his face: "It's a pity that the cold bone white tree is too tough, too much knife and axe, in order to sharpen it into a suitable stick, the three Xuan coins given by the village and almost all the money in the family were invested in it, so he reluctantly made it into a long stick, otherwise he should buy a dog like the old brother for the monkey." ”

"It's okay, the cold bone white stick can hurt monsters, and the thin monkey will be fine with it. Zhou Zhou Mu nodded slightly.

The Zhou family tried to let Zhou Fan learn martial arts from Lu Kui in advance, and found an old dog, and Carpenter Zhang also tried his best.

"I hope so. Carpenter Zhang sighed and said, "Sometimes I think this thief is innocent and unfair, my thin monkey and your Afan, usually don't do anything bad, they have become short-lived, and this life is over." ”

Zhou Zhoumu's face was blank, he looked at the faintly visible fog in front of him and said slowly: "I once heard a person say that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and it will get better in the future." ”

As they spoke, they finally arrived.

In front of them was a two-acre flat land, next to which there were several huts, and in the middle of the flat ground stood a big drum, without a drum frame, and the bottom of the drum was erected in the soil, and the sallow tympanic membrane was one zhang high!

This big drum completely attracted Zhou Fan's attention, he really had never seen such a big drum, and the black drum was engraved with dense runes.

"This drum ......" Zhou Fan looked at Zhou Zhoumu.

"This is the guard drum in the village, which has long been connected with Sanqiu Village, and plays the role of guarding Sanqiu Village, and those weird people dare not enter the village easily, mostly because of the existence of the guard drum. Zhou Zhou Mu explained with a solemn face.

Zhou Fan was a little surprised and said, "Is it just this drum?"

Although the drum is big, the number of runes on the side of the drum is also amazing, but no matter how strange it is, Zhou Fan can't see it.

"The drums are the most precious treasures of Sanqiu Village, I had them when I was young, and they are not eroded by wind and rain, and I heard the old people in the village say that this drum can't be beaten, it will automatically make a thunderous sound, but when it makes such a sound, it is a disaster to destroy the village. There was a hint of sigh in Carpenter Zhang's eyes.

In other words, the drum never sounded. Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows and said.

Carpenter Zhang smiled: "Of course, although we sometimes want to know how majestic it sounds, we still hope that it will not ring for the rest of its life." ”

The thin monkey couldn't help but say, "Maybe I can beat this drum with a stick." ”

Carpenter Zhang lost a smile on his face, he glared at his son and said angrily: "You bastard, if you really knock, then you are a sinner in the village." ”

The thin monkey shrunk his neck, not daring to say more.

"It's okay, let him knock as he pleases, as long as he's not afraid to snap his wrists. Lu Kui laughed and walked like a hill moving.

"Captain Lu. Zhou Fan and the four of them saluted.

Lu Kui first looked at the cold bone white stick in the thin monkey's hand, and then he looked at the old man squatting at Zhou Fan's feet, and said with a slight brightness in his eyes: "Brother Zhou, Carpenter Zhang, you are really willing to spend your blood." ”

Zhou Zhou Mu said: "Ah Fan and the two will please you." ”

Carpenter Zhang also followed: "Please take care of Captain Lu." ”

Lu Kui said solemnly: "Please rest assured, two of you. ”

Zhou Zhou Mu turned to look at Zhou Fan and said, "Then you should be careful." ”

Zhou Fan saw concern and a hint of worry in Zhou Zhoumu's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Dad, I know." ”

Carpenter Zhang just patted the thin monkey on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget what I told you last night." ”

The thin monkey smiled: "Dad, I can carry it." ”

Carpenter Zhou Mu and Zhang Carpenter soon left.

Lu Kui looked at Zhou Fan and the thin monkey and smiled: "Welcome to join the patrol, everyone will be brothers in the future, there are not many rules in the team, as long as you don't violate those rules, no one will embarrass you, and I will tell the four of you when the other two newcomers come." ”

In addition to Zhou Fan and Skinny Monkey, there are two newcomers who joined the patrol this time.

Lu Kui glanced at the black pot lid on the thin monkey's head again and asked curiously: "Thin monkey, I can recognize the cold bone white stick in your hand and the old dog that Zhou Fan's family bought from the old king, but what is on your head, forgive me for being clumsy, what kind of treasure is this?"

Zhou Fan was also curious, he looked at the uneven lid of the pot, which just covered the head of the thin monkey, like an ugly helmet.

"This is the lid of the pot I use to cook rice. The thin monkey pointed to the lid of the pot on his head.

Lu Kui and Zhou Fan were a little stunned, so what's the use of this thing?

The thin monkey smiled: "You don't understand, this is my mother's insistence on letting me wear it, she said that any part of the body is not as important as the brain, and other parts are injured, maybe you can still save your breath, and if you hit the brain, it will really be over, Afan, do you say that my mother is right?"

Zhou Fan didn't smile, but said with a serious face: "Thin monkey, your wife is right." ”

Lu Kui couldn't help laughing, but he didn't say anything about it, if the thin monkey liked it and wanted to bring a cauldron over, he would have no opinion.

After a while, two other teenagers were also sent over, and their elders sent them in, said hello and went back.

The faces of the two teenagers were a little pale, and there was an unconcealed fear in their eyes.

One of the two of them is called Li Erdonkey, and the other is called He Groove, and the two of them are like Zhou Fan with their bare hands, each carrying a package on their backs.

Lu Kui just frowned, but didn't say much.

The thin monkey greeted the two with a smile, and Zhou Fan didn't speak, just nodded at the two teenagers.

However, Zhou Fan's heart is very bright, obviously the two of them have nothing in their homes for the two of them, and whether they can survive can only depend on luck.

This kind of thing is normal in Sanqiu Village, the patrol is called the death squad, and it has maintained a high casualty rate, even if it takes great effort to prepare to save the life, it may not be able to survive, and some families are ruthless to save the three Xuan coins of the life money, so that their children rely on luck to fight for their lives.

Otherwise, if the money is invested in it at that time, people will not be able to survive, and the family can be said to have lost their children and money, which is even more serious.

The approach is very cruel, but this is a choice made by other people's families, and outsiders can't say anything to blame, Zhou Fan just feels that he is very lucky, and his father and mother can be said to have worked hard for him.

After all, even if Zhou Fan survives in the patrol, he still has to face a lifespan of only nineteen, and if he changes to an ordinary family, I am afraid that he has already psychologically broken down and given up.

The people had arrived, but Lu Kui still didn't move, he looked up at the clearer and clearer sky, and said, "Wait, the night watch will be back soon." ”

As soon as Lu Kui finished speaking, a sparsely populated person walked towards this side from the mist.
