"You do this, and no employee leaks the secret recipe in private?"

"This is a good inn with food and accommodation, how can there be such a wall grass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"In other words, you have restricted their personal freedom......"

"Don't say it so hurtfully, I'm just giving homeless children a way out."

"Little children? That means you didn't let go of all the previous tributes, but stayed as a child laborer! ”

"Why, we can apply for resignation."

"The only way to leave your job is to die of old age, or be eaten by guests, right?"

"It's not like I'm boasting, after all these years of opening the store, there really hasn't been a customer who has beaten these employees' ideas. Besides, if you look at their pitiful little chicks, even if I send them back to the village with free shipping, no one will dare to go back to their own house, and who knows if they will be sent to some strange cave again. In other words, the people in power here are definitely doing too much, sending things to all the mountains within a radius of ten miles during the New Year's holidays, and beating gongs and drums to inform you that you can't accept it! On the surface, blessing the safety of the village is actually increasing one's own income. ”

"Won't there be a revolt from the villagers? It's basically your own flesh and blood! ”

"You are naïve, the children in the village are almost gone, occasionally a few fish that slip through the net, you can have the opportunity to grow up next to your parents, you must be the people in power themselves, what else is there to be afraid of?"

Hearing this, Chen Shuo turned his head to look at the child who had been silent for a long time, and asked hesitantly: "Ruhua, what thoughts do you have to say." ”

Maybe it's because I've been hiding in the cellar for a long time, and my brain is relatively slow, and I haven't responded for a long time.

So, he explained more carefully: "Don't be afraid, I don't have to leave you here, but I want to ask for your opinion." After all, children stay on the ground and bask in the sun more, which is conducive to physical development. ”

"I'm going home." Finally waited for a weak response.

"No problem. Everyone understands that the way back may not be easy, but I don't want to dictate your own values. After all, you're still young and have plenty of opportunities for trial and error. ”

After settling the tired juniors in the inn for a while, Chen Shuo and the Netherworld went to the streets to try their luck, and it was best to meet the secret genre for a talent show (or a new product launch).

However, I encountered an incomprehensible conflict of ideas, and I thought that this kind of stunt performance should attract attention, but I couldn't find the bulletin board, let alone the location, and I couldn't even find the opening time. In order to get specific information, I went out of my way to ask the locals.

"Excuse me, what time does tonight's show start?"

"After dinner, when it's dark."

"Is it just at the end of dinner?"

"Sometimes it is, but not all the time."

A little frustrated, he asked, "So, it's a little later, about nine o'clock?" ”

The locals nodded casually, "Sometimes it's a little earlier, but sometimes it's not a show." ”

"There is no performance, why?"

"If the time isn't right, or the actor doesn't want to jump, he won't act."

Chen Shuo calmed down a little and understood that the reason for the inability to communicate with the locals was that the two had different perceptions of time.

The locals follow the time of events, that is, to organize and govern life by the time of a certain event in the natural environment, such as sunrise and sunset, high tides, tides. After all, it is easy for goblins to live thousands of years old, and if you want to live your life at the right time, it will inevitably feel too cumbersome.

Chen Shuo is the standard for most people, following the clock time and arranging life accurately according to the minute hand. Just like a machine, it works in an orderly manner, and if a part doesn't listen to the command, it will go crazy.

"It's okay, just wait."

"When is this going to be? Wait until we are old! ”

It was originally a joke, but the shadow said: "I want you to know that there is always a person waiting for you in this world, no matter when, no matter where, you must know that there is always such a person." ”

Facing the affectionate gaze, Chen Shuo chose to escape.

Finding nothing, the two decided to send Ruhua back to the village first, and then inquire about other information. After all, this mosquito spirit is only meeting for the first time, and speaking too frankly makes people suspicious.

After returning to the inn to pick up Rarity, who was half asleep, and walking down the winding path in the moonlight, Edward began to babble again, "Wizard, where are you from?" ”

"The four seas are home." Obviously, the Netherworld is reluctant to reveal more information, and takes the initiative to end the conversation.

"Why do you want to go to the secret school?"

"I heard that there are many miraculous herbs there, and I want to go and see it."

"Huh? I thought wizards would take some children, turn them into small animals, and train them to be their own followers. Why is it still developing in the field of herbal medicine? ”

"There is no end to learning, and we must look at everything in the world with a changing eye. For example, if you open an inn across the border, it will not shake the status of the mountain god, but it will seem that the capable person works harder. ”

Edward, who was praised and happy, had layers of red blood on his pale face, and replied modestly: "How can there be." It's just that my friends have lifted me up and let me take turns in the past two years. In fact, I have always wanted to take a chance to tell the villagers that there is really no need for human tribute here, and these ugly children have caused us a lot of trouble. ”

"Hey, be careful when you speak. Children are very emotionally sensitive, who is responsible for crying for a while? ”

Ruhua, who was suddenly named, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Shuo's hand and said in a low voice, "I won't cry." When I get home, I must repay you. ”

What an innocent child, who doesn't understand the adult world at all, and everyone in the family chooses to sacrifice you, even if you escape back alive, the future is full of uncertainties.

In fact, Chen Shuo deliberately accompanied Ruhua's side, but he didn't want to let her face despair alone, after all, not everyone has their own optimistic mentality.

Just like when I was in the cave of Manjushri, I suffered for seven whole days and nights in my soul, and not going crazy is a big step in human history.

At dawn, the group entered the village. You Ruhua led the way to the magnificent courtyard at the door, and looked at the golden plaque on the door blankly.

As if afraid of disturbing the child's self-esteem, Chen Shuo comforted: "It's okay, if you don't fit in after entering, we can still leave." ”

Ruhua took a deep breath, stared at Chen Shuo's eyes, and said loudly, "Actually, I lied to you about something. This year, the cellar where I live did not catch fire, I ran out on my own. ”

"Well, it's quite heroic to be a volunteer at this time, so you don't need to hide it."

"Not to be a volunteer, but to get out of here. As a result, the promised friend did not show up, but a group of people tied me up as a sacrifice. ”

"It's all gone, and now that I'm home, there's no more danger."

Just as Chen Shuo was about to sprinkle two taels of chicken soup for the soul, the door opened, and the person holding the lantern raised the firelight and said in surprise: "Little Hou Ye! You're back! ”

As a poor middle peasant, someone swallowed the comforting words on his lips, life is really full of surprises, you never know who will be the next person to slap your face!
