Chapter 34 The Tree Man
The little girl continued: "The one-armed leader in the largest fortress among the 2400 fortresses now..."
"Yes, he is Wu Ya. He now has 20 villages and a population of 4,000. He sends dead soldiers to other fortresses every year to look for horses. It is said that he has a very terrifying dream every day, and it is a pity that Tianyu punishes him for not completing the good character."
"Didn't the horse search say that he will become a zombie?"
"Then I don't know. In ten years, there have been so many things happening. Maybe he has had some adventures." The old man called himself a glass of wine again, and then said to the little girl, "The tavern is about to open, so don't stay here."
"You have to continue telling this story now. Why do you have to tell this story again and again?" the little girl asked the old man, who looked at her enviously: "I really envy the child who doesn't dream."
After the old man finished speaking, the little girl's parents called her outside. The little girl bowed politely and left. The old man turned his eyes to a strange boy in the corner of the tavern.
The boy looked at the old man playfully, and the old man asked him: "Are you Wu Ya's dead soldier?"
"No uncle." said the young man.
"Then are you coming from the ladder?"
The ladder is the name and feature of this fort. This fort is composed of six villages. Although it is remote, it is also a relatively large fortress. There are more than 1,300 people living in it, divided into six villages wrapped in iron. The reason why it is called the ladder is that there are many particularly long trees around the village, which are more than 300 meters high. So people here have built ropes on the trees. Hundreds of ropes form many rope ladders, which can allow people to move within the scope of the tree, connect the village, and even build many tree houses on it.
The population of 1,300 people has already made many people lose their understanding of each other, so the elderly ask this question.
"I'm here to participate in the recruitment." said the young man.
"Oh, is it the winemaker's appointment?" the old man asked.
The boy shook his head: "It's the choice to hire a tree man."
Treeman is a special profession in this castle, which is responsible for finding the Sky-Watching Tree outside their control boundaries.
This will expand their boundaries, which will require going up from the fortress to the tree, to the farthest tree, and down to the ground.
The ground here is full of forests, and the canopy is wrapped around the waist of the Wangtian Tree, so you can't see the situation in the ground, but everyone in the fort knows that the zombies in the forest are very difficult to deal with.
Sometimes walking zombies can infect wild animals. The old man’s brother was bitten to death by a leopard corpse a few years ago and turned into a walking zombie. Now he must still be wandering in the forest.
The tree man needs to bring a very long rope and find a tree looking at the sky. He climbs up and ties the rope to the tree. Then there will be pulleys constantly going to and from the middle of the rope to send more ropes.
From this we can see that there is another very important profession in this village called rope man.
The old man looked at the teenager and said that this must be the child of the poorer family in the village. Tree people are a very dangerous job, and there is half the chance of death. There is no way to let his children come out to choose this.
"So what?" Even so, the old man really saw it a lot and didn't want to be sad about it.
"I want to make some wine."
"You have to drink alcohol at such a young age, and your reaction will slow down and you will die faster."
At least you should die after finding the tree and tie the rope, and it will not be considered in vain. The old man said.
"I will have pensions when I die, and then my uncle will come and pay the money on credit." The boy said, "Now he will have to drink. If I don't bring it back, he will beat me to death."
The old man looked at the boy and felt a little wronged when an ordinary child encountered such treatment.
But this young man had no grievance in his eyes. How old is he, at most 11 years old and 12 years old, and this world has wiped out human nature.
The old man thought about it and gave the child a bottle of wine. This was made from the fruits of the Wangtian tree, called Wangtian wine, which was very difficult to drink, but they had no other pleasure. "Just one bottle, ten meters of rope."
In this place, currency is the rope, because this fort has a very large demand for ropes, which is a basic need among the urgent needs.
The boy picked up the wine, bowed respectfully to the old man, and then walked out.
