Chapter 20: The Road Meets the Village
Bai Ling is not in a hurry, there are still 19 days to go, Bai Ling will rush back, when the time comes, harvest a group of believers, slowly accumulate faith points, those sky-high immortal cultivation techniques, Bai Ling can be exchanged.
Without the cultivation of immortal exercises, even if the system improves its strength, it is impossible to exert its full combat power, and every time you improve your cultivation in the future, the belief points required are massive, and you can cultivate a little by yourself, and you can save a lot.
Bai Ling first planned to change to an intermediate-level cultivation method, which probably required several million faith points, not that Bai Ling didn't want to exchange it for a better one, but that sky-high price of faith points, Bai Ling believed that even if she fought for her life, it would be impossible to collect it in this world, so it was better to exchange it for an intermediate-level practice first.
As for the low-level ones, then there is no need, they will be eliminated soon, and the exchange is a complete waste. Of course, Bai Ling also planned, if she could travel to a cultivation world in the future, or earn a large number of faith points, then she would change to a high-level, or top-level cultivation method.
Bai Ling walked in the grove, looking at the train outside, ready to find a place where there were people and ask for directions, at least to find out where the Japanese stored supplies.
The three eastern provinces have long been occupied by the Japanese, so as long as it is in the city, there should be Japanese stationed, and there will be a lot of food, weapons and other materials, Bai Ling does not need to deliberately inquire about the base camp of the Japanese, just ask the way to the nearby city, when he arrives in the city, Bai Ling will not be able to find a place to store grain.
Bai Ling walked for about half an hour, and finally saw a cornfield, Bai Ling was very happy, with a cornfield, it means that there should be people around, and it should not be too far.
Sure enough, after a while, Bai Ling found a small village, and it was lunch time, so the village was full of smoke, and Bai Ling also saw the smoke and found it so quickly.
Because the three eastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese, the Japanese would come every year to collect the grain from each village, and if they resisted and did not give it, it could only be the fate of being killed and slaughtering the village.
The small people have no strength, they can only endure helplessly, the country is weak, they are bullied everywhere, and in the face of Japanese aggression, they cannot have the strength to fight back, and it is only the people who suffer.
Bai Ling walked to the entrance of the village, and the children in the village avoided it when they saw Bai Ling. Because it was controlled by the Japanese, the villagers had a hard time, and they would be wary of strangers. The villagers have to be vigilant, because if one is not careful, the old and young in the village will die.
The Japanese do not show mercy, not only do they not sympathize, but they even kill people for pleasure, and they are extremely cruel.
However, when the people in the village saw that Bai Ling was a girl and dressed as a village girl, they put a lot of peace of mind, Bai Ling was not a bad person at first glance, and he didn't look like a person who would bring trouble to the village.
So an old man smoking a dry cigarette asked, "Girl, did you come to our village for something?" ”
This village is relatively remote, and usually you don't see outsiders, and the people in the next few villages are basically familiar with each other, but they haven't seen Bai Ling, which can only mean that Bai Ling is a foreigner. However, it is also very strange for outsiders to come to their village, after all, their village is very poor, and there is really nothing left except a little ration.
"Uncle, I'm from somewhere else, I'm lost here, I don't know where to go, I see a village here, so I come and ask, where should I go to the nearest town here?" Bai Ling asked about his purpose, in fact, from the attitude of the people in the village, Bai Ling could see that everyone was still very vigilant.
So Bai Ling didn't want to waste time, so he went directly to steal food, and if he had time in the future, he could come here and develop believers. The people here are oppressed by the Japanese, and if they develop into believers, the Japanese will not be able to take advantage of them.
Even if you can't resist the aggression of the Japanese, it is still possible to slow down the pace of their aggression and give them some painful blows. In this way, Bai Ling can not only obtain faith points, but also indirectly save the country, and Bai Ling is naturally willing to do so.
But now the most important thing is food, because after becoming a believer, the strength has increased, and the amount of food has also increased, without sufficient food, believers are afraid that they will have to starve every day, and besides, the Chinese people are already poor and cannot eat, and the more food the better.
What's more, it is to rob the enemy of the food, weaken the opponent, and strengthen one's own side, which is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
"Girl, it's not peaceful here, you beautiful little girl should not go to the city, it's too dangerous." An old lady looked at Bai Ling and said.
Now that the Japanese have invaded here, they have done all kinds of evil, and if they meet a beautiful girl, they may rob and spoil it, and do evil.
Therefore, the young girls here will not go to the city, and they will disguise themselves when they go, otherwise they will be seen by the Japanese and will not be able to come back.
Of course, even so, there are still many girls and daughters-in-law, who are bad at murder, and many traitors look for beautiful girls in various villages in order to please the Japanese, and then tell the Japanese, and the Japanese will come to arrest people, because in this way, many people in the village will be very nervous when they see strangers, and they are afraid that they are Japanese lackeys.
The girl and daughter-in-law will not show up if they have nothing to do, so as not to suffer.
Bai Ling was also very moved when he heard the advice of the old lady, but Bai Ling's martial arts are strong, and if he is really in danger, he can travel back at any time, and he doesn't have to worry about safety.
Besides, Bai Ling has something to do and must go to the city, so he can only thank the old lady for her kindness. "Auntie, thank you for the reminder, but I have to go to the city for something, otherwise I wouldn't have come here from afar."
"What are you doing in the city, if you can, the village can find someone to help you go, it's too dangerous for you to go out as a little girl." The eldest lady Xingshan, this is planning to leave Bai Ling in the village, everyone is compatriots, the people are very simple, and they can't bear to let Bai Ling be in danger.
"Thank you, auntie, but I must go, but I will disguise myself and be careful, I won't be in danger." Bai Ling's attitude was very resolute, if she didn't go, then why did she come here?
"Hey, since you insist, I won't stop you, but be careful. The nearest city goes down the path on that side, and you can walk along the main road to the avenue. In the afternoon, people from the village also go to the city, if you are not in a hurry, you can go with the people of the village after lunch. The eldest lady was very enthusiastic, and took Bai Ling to her house for dinner, I'm afraid she didn't worry about her going alone.
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Bai Ling also felt that he might not be able to recognize the way, and if someone was together, at least he wouldn't go wrong.
Bai Ling followed the eldest lady to the village, had lunch at the eldest lady's house, rested for a while, and left with the villagers who were preparing to enter the city.
