Chapter 199: Not Rich

Pedestrians on the streets of Sylvie City looked like they were in a hurry. And from their spirits, Zhang Tong couldn't feel that Qin Kuairen had always said that this place was rich and rich.

Whether a place is peaceful and prosperous does not need to do too much research, but only needs to be carefully observed from the spirit of the local residents to draw conclusions.

Just like today's Chinese residents, walking on the streets of the city, if you look closely at them, you will find that most of them are full of energy and confidence. Most of the people walking on the road talk and laugh. The mental state is also relaxed.

This is because the country is relatively wealthy today. More than 80% of people don't need to worry about the simplest food and clothing of three meals a day.

I don't have to worry about my personal safety. There will be no bomb that suddenly falls from the sky and explodes around you. There will be no bullets flying across his cheeks.

This spirit and self-confidence are common to almost all inhabitants of a peaceful and prosperous country.

And those who live in turmoil as well as starvation. Their mental state is also visible at a glance.

And the people who live in war-torn and impoverished areas have a completely different mental outlook. Because of the long-term war, the residents are highly nervous and appear particularly alert. As long as there is wind and grass, they will scatter and flee like frightened rabbits.

And the behavior will also become more cautious, if you want to accurately express that state of behavior in Chinese, it is "obscene".

If, according to Qin Kuairen, this place is rich and rich, then the people walking on the road should be relatively much more confident.

But the people walking on the outskirts of Sylvie don't look so confident and wealthy.

Under Zhang Tong's reminder, Qin Kuairen also noticed this. He scratched his head a little: "Boss, it seems to be true when you say that." ”

"The Immortal City is already surrounded by several satellite cities, and it should be the richest place in the entire continent. When I came to this world, I also went to some other cities in the human kingdom, and those places were indeed relatively poor, and having enough to eat was still a big problem. ”

"But near the Immortal City, the problem of food and clothing has been solved. There are plenty of mages here who will help farmers improve their fields and change the climate on a small scale. So it's always been nice here. The staple food in the land has never been cut off, like potatoes. I haven't found a single beggar in the Immortal City or the surrounding cities!"

As soon as Qin Kuairen's words fell, he felt that he had been slapped in the face.

Not far from the entrance to the Sylvie Gate, several hungry skinny children were begging passers-by with their hands outstretched.

"Okay, uncle, give me something to eat. Anything, beans, bread, anything. It's okay to have a little crumble. "A couple of kids really looked a little too thin.

It's not cold, but it's not warm either, and passers-by still have to wrap up when the wind blows. The children, on the other hand, were still wearing relatively thin cloth clothes, and they were obviously ill-fitting, and they looked much larger than their own figures, and they looked like the clothes worn by adults.

The children should have been hungry for a long time, and the children's faces have been completely devoid of meat, and the unique baby fat and apple muscles that should have been bulging on the children's faces have been sunken, making the children's cheekbones appear particularly high.

is also because he is too hungry, there is no meat on his body, and it seems that the child's head is very big and the neck is very thin. The child's outstretched hand begging for food is also as thin as a hemp stick.

The hungry eyes of the children were glazed, and only the leader looked older than the children, and he was still shouting as hard as he could, hoping to get a little food.

However, most of the people passing by just glanced at them, and occasionally a kind-hearted swordsman passed by and gave the child a cake, but this was not enough for the six children. The eldest child who was going to give the cake to the other younger children first, and said, "Start with the younger brother, and take one bite at a time." ”

The children could only take one bite each, and the bite was very restrained, and even then, by the time the cake reached the older children, there was only a small piece left.

Don't say that this bit of bread is hungry, I'm afraid that if you eat it, you will be even hungrier.

The older child swallowed a mouthful of saliva and unceremoniously stuffed the rest of the cake into his mouth. However, this kind of dry food-like cake is dry and hard, and most people have to drink water to eat it. The child choked directly in his throat and eyes as soon as he went down, and the one who couldn't go up and down was uncomfortable, and after a while, his little face turned red, and he just felt that he couldn't breathe.

This eldest child is the eldest of the six children in this wave, and he looks like he will be seven or eight years old. The others are all young, and some look like they are only three or four years old and can just walk, and they have to be held by their brothers.

Seeing the eldest brother choking uncomfortably, a group of children panicked and didn't know what to do. The youngest three-and-a-half-year-old girl was directly frightened and cried.

Just when the big child choked and couldn't breathe, a big hand slapped him on the back. Smack~cough~

The boy coughed, and spat out the cake that was stuck in his throat.

The child looked at the spit cake with reluctance, what a good food, why didn't it enter my stomach.

But this big kid is still measured, his regret is for a moment, and then he looks up at the benefactor who saved his life. It was a man with short black hair and a slightly strange dress.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is upright, which makes people feel good at first glance, and this person is full of momentum, and at first glance, it is the momentum that can only be cultivated by those who have been in the top position for a long time.

The eldest child hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you for saving me, Eze is here to thank you." ”

It was Zhang Tong who saved him, because Jiang Hua was also pregnant with a baby in his belly, so Zhang Tong couldn't stand the child's suffering now. These six children sat outside the entrance to the city for some distance, asking for food on the way to this busy traffic, and their little faces were sunken down with hunger, Zhang Tong couldn't look down on this now.

Zhang Tong couldn't understand what the big kid said on the phone, after all, the language barrier. He could only smile, then walked to Qin Kueren's side and said to him, "Give them a few people a can of eight-treasure porridge each." These children should have been hungry for a long time, and they can't eat hard food yet, otherwise their intestines won't be able to stand it. First, give them eight treasure porridge and a smooth. ”

Qin Kuairen nodded, and then began to look for food from the salute he brought. This time, Zhang Tong and Qin Kuairen did not come to this other world empty-handed.

They prepared many of the earth's specialties, including a variety of foods. There are local specialties and temporary drinks, all of which have never been seen in this world. These things were all packed in the hand-luggage that Qin Kuairen brought.

This suitcase doesn't look small from the outside, but in fact, there is a lot of space inside, and the space inside is much larger than what can be seen from the outside.

This is a newly developed device developed by the scientific research department under the General Administration and is still in the experimental stage. To say that this equipment has something to do with Zhang Tong. Because in the early years, Zhang Tong lost a small electric donkey. Later, a gang of ability thieves was involved.

The theft boss Li Xue inside, her ability is space storage. This powerful ability was used by her to steal battery cars.

Zhang Tong was not polite to her, and directly asked Jiang Hua's subordinates to arrest her. Tossing and turning, Li Xue was known by people in the capital.

The General Administration thought that Li Xue's ability was very useful, so it gave her a chance to mend her life. Let her cooperate with the scientific research department of the General Administration to store equipment in the space.

This suitcase can be regarded as the first generation of space storage equipment. This box may be small on the outside, but it contains a lot of content, just like the magical items in the Harry Potter world that have been cast with the Traceless Stretching Charm.

Qin Kuairen took out six bottles of eight-treasure porridge from it and handed them to the children one by one.

"This, open the tab...... Forget it, I'll open it for you. "Qin Kuairen originally wanted to say that the pull ring can be eaten when the contents are opened. But look at these children are so small, so thin, I guess they can't pull these tabs.

Qin Kuairen opened all the pull rings of the eight-treasure porridge, and then demonstrated how to eat the eight-treasure porridge. These children have been hungry for several days, and this eight-treasure porridge smells sweet.

"Thank you, uncle. Under the leadership of the eldest child, Eze, they thanked Qin Kueren, and then they used the spoon brought by the eight-treasure porridge to dig and drink the eight-treasure porridge.

"Sweet, so sweet, so sweet!" the youngest girl, who was three and a half years old, had not yet grown all her teeth, her little face was gray, and her hair was dry like straw. If the child is a cute porcelain doll, then she is like a rag doll forgotten by time, and it seems that she has gone through vicissitudes. But now, this gray doll is eating eight-treasure porridge and dancing with joy, and she is about to jump up with joy. "I'm going to bring it to my mom. ”

"Mom is starving to death, don't keep it, you eat it all yourself. A slightly older child said cruel words in a milky voice: "Or you will starve to death." ”

"Is starvation a means that you will lie down and fall asleep and never get up again?" Although the little girl was covered in ashes, her big blue eyes were still as clear as sapphires.

"Hmm!" the older child nodded as he drank the eight-treasure porridge.

"It's good that you don't have to go hungry when you fall asleep. Mom has been asleep since then and has not woken up again, it is too uncomfortable to starve while awake. The little girl pulled the eight-treasure porridge and said things that were unacceptable in an innocent tone.

Qin Kuairen actually had a feeling of suffocation for a moment.

All the children were drinking the eight-treasure porridge, and only Eze was observing the packaging of the eight-treasure porridge.

"It's so exquisite! Is the food supposed to be in such a beautiful package? And with such beautiful pictures printed, it's so beautiful. Even ordinary nobles can't afford to eat such food. Eze looked at the eight-treasure porridge, and then looked at Qin Kuairen and Zhang Tong.

Just as he was about to do something, a rough and even somewhat rough voice came: "I said that you outcasts are not allowed to approach Sylvie City, let alone the Immortal City!"

A soldier in full-body armor walked with a group of soldiers in leather armor. He said in a fly tone, "Give you a few seconds, get out of here!"
