A huge army of thousands of people was walking on the way to Kaga Country. Xiao Zhi rode his horse in the center of the team, and Akiko Ekawa followed him on another slightly smaller horse...

There are many mountains in the island country and can be seen everywhere, but horses are very rare and very simple. There are not many people who can eat enough. Who can take care of the beast every day?

In order to fight the famine that may come at any time, a terrible tradition has emerged in the remote mountain village. If the old man lives to the age of 60 and is not dead, his son must carry him to the highest mountain nearby to let him die...

For older people, this approach is no different from dying, because there are many poisonous insects and beasts on the mountain, and it can kill you if you come casually, and the same is true for wind, rain, ice and snow.

If the old man lives to the age of 60 and fails to die, it will become a shame in the village, and will be despised and insulted, and called a rice worm that wastes food. If he is not old, the prestigious person in the village will force his son to tie the old man up and choose a steep cliff and throw it down and kill him.

In order to save food, the existence of such villages is not uncommon, and there are even other villages that are even more cruel. If you continue to talk about them, it will take 404 to put them in the real world.

Akiko Eikawa was born in such a tragic era. She has lived for a long time and seen a lot. Bicai Miao has a say better than everyone here. Animals have always been animals, but humans will not always be humans...

During the process of the army moving forward, in order to relieve Xiao Zhi's boredom, Jiangchuan Heko specially talked a lot about what he saw and heard about this era. Xiao Zhi's scalp was numb. Maybe he felt that Xiao Zhi didn't like this information, so Jiangchuan Heko consciously did not continue to talk...

Xiao Zhi grabbed the rope and his eyes were on Jiang Chuan Hezi's face. It was no accident that this girl could survive until now.

He suddenly became a little confused...

Akiko Ekawa looked very serious when riding a horse, and she looked straight into the distance.

The wind blew the long hair and danced in the air, with a light smile on her face, but the light in the deep eyes made the person who saw it sigh in a faint sigh. It could not be said to be sad or something else, maybe it was just simple sympathy...

She seemed to have some feelings and turned her head, stretched out her hand to tick her hair, and tidied it behind her ears: "What are you looking at?" Since Xiao Zhi forbidden her and Cai Miao to call herself "Xiao Zhijun", she no longer has such a distance.

Xiao Zhi scratched his cheek and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that today's wind is unexpectedly gentle..."

Yoko Ekawa was stunned. Steel Xiao Zhi could say such words. She tried to feel the "gentle" in the wind, but she could only smell the grass, wood, mud, and the smell of the corpses on the roadside. At this time, Ansenmaru, who was in the cradle behind her, suddenly struggled, and loud crying sounded throughout the wilderness.

She hurriedly took out the mist contained in the gourd and fed the child. Because she was too young, she couldn't eat many things, and even the rice mud couldn't be too thick to avoid choking. Holding the child with a hint of warmth, she felt as if she had really become a mother, Xiao Zhi was a father, taking care of her child...

In the army, there were a few soldiers whispering.

They knew that Xiao Zhi and the others were still with a child, but at first they were instinctively afraid of their superiors and did not dare to speak nonsense. However, after leaving the city for a few days, they gradually felt that Xiao Zhi was really a good leader. They spoke to everyone in a friendly manner and smiled. Not only that, they were also on time and on time, giving each soldier two copper coins every day as a reward for going to the battle...

It's just a puzzling thing. The army of thousands of people, each with two copper coins, will add up to two thousand copper coins. These things are piled up and sank in the package, not a small number.

But every day, Xiao Zhi would take out handfuls of copper coins from the cloth bag on his body and distribute them to everyone, as if it was inexhaustible. When the army set up camp at night, many people speculated that it might be some kind of magical treasure, such as the continuous production of money from the energy source...

Slowly someone wants to make the package.

After all, if they have this endless amount of money, they can immediately live a famous life, fight a war, have dinner today, and may die tomorrow, and whoever loves to go.

Now the loud cry of Ansemaru of Eichuan now gave those light-footed soldiers with ulterior motives the courage to take women and children to the battlefield. Who has a brain will do this? I guess this Jiangchuan Xiaozhi is just a lucky fool, and wants to spend some money to live a general's addiction...

Cai Miao lay on Xiao Zhi's shoulder and whispered: "Those bastards are spreading rumors again. Do you think you should bury them? The wilderness ridges here are very suitable for burial. It's nothing to have fewer people, and you can have less time to find food."

In a team of thousands of people, Xiao Zhi only provides money but not food. When the soldiers who get money pass by the village or other territory, they can choose to buy dry food by themselves, or hunt for other grassroots and barks to eat. However, every time they stop to collect food, it will take at least two days, which will indeed slow down the journey.

Xiao Zhi also wanted to shorten it, but he couldn't turn out food. Although the lords would sell food, it was not unlimited. Otherwise, there would be only money but no food in the warehouse, and it would be a dead end...

He gently patted Cai Miao's head: "It's okay, it's normal to have greed. I need to hire people now. If they can get lost one second before they start, they can get a chance to redeem." Speaking of redemption, he has completed two-thirds of this task.

Because the incident of saving Daming in the city was considered to have redeemed a human sacrificed to the monster.

Xiao Zhi understood it literally. These three words are more serious. Daming should not be considered "sacrificed", but the sound effect reminded him to complete an amount, which is really puzzling. Maybe because Daming has a lot of identity, otherwise he would have saved several villagers who were chased by monsters along the way, and the task should have been completed long ago.

The team is vast, with ordinary people and robbers passing by, like plague-avoiding gods. Such a large-scale army is probably going to destroy which country. They don’t want to become ghosts on the way of the army.

It's morning.

The sun became even more intense near noon. Xiao Zhi felt that Ansenmaru might get sick and heatstroke under the scorching sun, so he specially ordered the army to find a cool place to rest, intending to wait until the sun is slightly weaker in the afternoon before moving forward. He tied his horse under a big tree, took the map to compare the trend of the nearby mountains, nodded, the distance was very close, and now it should be the border of Kaga Country...

Cai Miao suddenly stood upright and looked into the distance: "There is the aura of a monster, approaching at a very fast speed!"
