Chapter 1469 Same Surname
"Well, I see. The other party nodded, and continued to ask, "Then where are you going?"
"Let's go...... Shalin, my lord. Philip hesitated for a moment, and answered honestly, he had a feeling that it was better not to lie to the person in front of him, otherwise nothing would end well.
Hearing him say his destination, the other party had an obvious surprise reaction, looked at him carefully, and said with a smile: "Are you serious? Do you know that it will only take several months to walk from here to ShalinβI'm afraid that if you don't walk half way, you will starve to death on the road." Not to mention other unexpected situations, such as getting lost in the mountains, or encountering dangerous creatures, etc. β
"This!" Philip's face changed.
At this time, the other party asked again: "By the way, if you don't stay in Guangming Town, why did you go to Shalin?"
The muscles on Philip's face twitched a few times, and he sighed: "Guangming Town is not easy to treat, my lord, there have been three mayors in a month, and none of them have a good end." There is not enough food, there is no food at all, and there are taxes to be levied, and it is really impossible to live. I heard from a vendor who sold dried earthworms and dried mushrooms, that Shalin was not the same as Guangming Town, so I wanted to go and see it, but I didn't expect it to be so far. β
Speaking of this, Philip heard the other party whisper: "Another guided ...... It looks like the guide team has a long outstretched hand...... Unknown towns have gone...... It's just a little bit of a workaround......"
After muttering, the other party raised his head and looked at him, and seriously suggested: "I advise you, don't go to Shalin, because it's too far, and you are not going in the right direction, Shalin is in your northwest direction, not the west." However, since you can't survive in Bright Town, you can go to Redstone City. Red Rock City, is a small sarin, also known as sarin seventeenth city, built two years ago, the conditions are a little worse, the size is a little smaller, but it is enough for you to live well. Best of all, Redstone City isn't far from you, and it's about two days to walk straight west from here. β
"Really?" said Philip, with some surprise.
"I'm lying to you, what's the benefit?" the other party smiled and spread his hands, then groped inside his clothes, took out a palm-sized green cake and threw it over, "By the way, before you go, you should eat something first, look at you like this, you haven't eaten for a long time, don't faint from hunger before you arrive." Also, while you're eating, I'd like to ask you more about it. β
"Thank you, sir. Philip took the green cake handed by the other party, quickly thanked him, and then carefully broke a corner and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, an aroma similar to a mixture of bread and fruit bloomed in his mouth, making him instantly feel the urge to cry - this seemed to be real food, although he didn't know what it was made of, but it was indeed food, and he hadn't eaten it for too long, too long.
The effect of food seemed to be greater than he imagined, except for the taste that was far better than that of dried earthworms and dried mushrooms, as soon as it was swallowed into his stomach, a faint stream of heat gushed out, making his whole body warm, and his tired spirit was somewhat uplifted.
Philip's eyes widened, and he hurriedly handed it to little Jimmy behind him.
Little Jimmy followed Philip's example, and also broke off a corner, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. The eyes were a little shining, saliva was accumulating in the throat, and it was clear that there was a desire for more.
But little Jimmy didn't break the second piece, but tiptoed to remove the broken burlap bag from Philip's shoulder and solemnly put it in.
Philip also acquiesced in this act - they had been hungry for too long, so that both father and son had learned the habit of preserving food, and they were naturally happy when they were full at once, but they probably did not survive the night after tomorrow.
Philip put the cloth bag on his shoulder again, looked at the brown-haired man who gave the food, and lowered his attitude: "This honorable lord, my son and I have already eaten, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, I will tell you everything I know." β
The brown-haired man first looked at Philip's cloth bag with a somewhat complicated gaze, pursed his lips, but didn't say anything more, and then asked a question with a serious expression.
The brown-haired man's question felt strange to Philip, because it was all about ...... The little things that don't matter.
For example, how he lives in Guangming Town, what he eats every day, where to find mushrooms, how to distinguish the types of mushrooms, how the town is managed, and how to collect taxes......
Some questions are not only asked once, but also reversed the order of the sentences, and asked several times on the front and side.
After asking for dozens of minutes, the brown-haired man ended, exhaled, and looked satisfied: "Well, okay, I got the answer I wanted, you can leave." β
"Yes, sir. Philip also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he never knew that he would be so tired from answering questions, so he took his son little Jimmy and walked south.
He hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly a voice from behind him stopped him: "Wait. β
"Huh?" Philip stopped and turned, a little nervous, thinking that the other party was going to ask him a bunch of questions again. But the other party didn't, just took out a palm-sized green round cake from his arms and handed it over.
"This is the No. 1 ration, and it doesn't taste very good, so I didn't bring more, at most I saved another one, and I gave it to you. This way, you and your son will be able to make it to Redstone even if they encounter some minor problems on the way. The brown-haired man said.
Philip's lips trembled, to be honest, he hadn't seen such a good person for too long, and hurriedly bent down and bowed deeply: "Thank you, sir." β
As he spoke, he pressed little Jimmy's head.
Little Jimmy bent down first and saluted, "Thank you, sir." β
"Okay, okay, you guys hurry up, I'm going to hurry too, you're welcome, whether we can see each other again in the future, let's talk about it. The brown-haired man said.
"Please tell me your name, sir, and I will definitely thank you for the opportunity in the future. β
"You went to Redstone City, you can say that you met 165021 on the way, and if you happen to meet someone I know, I might be able to take care of you a little. β
"165021, what about your name?"
"My name, you really want to know, it's okay to tell you, my name is Machu Philippe. β
"My name is Philip, my name is Philip, Doron Philip, and my son is Jimmy Philip, and we are the same surname. Philip said with some surprise.
"What a coincidence. Well, so be it. I'm really gone, good luck to you guys, and good luck to me. Machu Phyllis didn't care, waved his hand, and walked into the distance.
Philip and little Jimmy, father and son, watched for a moment, then turned away and headed for the Red Rock City.
