Junyue and Dark Orange were housed in a wooden house in the corner of the village, and although the room was cleaned, it still looked like it was in disrepair, and she didn't quite understand why the long-awaited savior was placed in such a remote place.

"Mo Cheng, I'm walking around the village, will you come with me?" asked Junyue as she stood outside the door.

"I'm not going, aren't you tired? After walking so many mountain roads and still having the strength to walk around here, you can go by yourself." Murphy said as he climbed into bed, ready to rest for a moment before dinner.

"Then I'll go, you can sleep. ”

The wooden house they lived in was next to the wall, and she walked along it, occasionally tapping on the planks on it. was an inadvertent move, but it was found that these wooden boards were full of holes, which could only play a role in visual isolation. Most of the horizontal planks nailed to the log foundation have rotted, and the loose places make a "creaking" sound when touched by hand, and some of them have broken off, and there are still dried blood stains attached to the cracks, so it is impossible to tell when the battle took place.

"Why don't these villagers renovate and reinforce, they are already weak, and they can survive with such dilapidated fortifications to resist the invasion of demonic beasts. Chunyue sighed as she walked, and after a while, she turned around the entire village.

She walked towards the center of the village, but there were few people on the way, and the wooden houses where the villagers lived looked similarly old, and the whole village felt deserted and dilapidated.

On the way back, she happened to meet Village Chief Xia, who stopped her and asked, "It's time to eat, where is Mo Cheng?"

"I went back and called her, and she was asleep. ”

"I'm still in the mood to sleep, our village is about to be robbed, and the injured villagers have not been treated, cough..."After a sigh, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

Chunyue was a little confused, not knowing if these complaints were helpless venting, or if they were deliberately said to her.

Back at the wooden house, she gently pushed Mo Cheng twice and said, "Wake up, Village Chief Xia told us to go to dinner, wake up quickly." ”

"Well, well, that's up. Dark orange was sleepy-eyed and stretched her waist.

"Didn't you say this is a village of about 200 people? I just walked around, how did I meet a few people?"

"Some time ago, because of the attack of the demonic beast, most of the food was robbed, and all the laborers went out to find food, and the rest had to take care of the children and the wounded, and there was definitely no one outside. ”

"Well, aren't you here to help the wounded? I don't see you in a hurry, still sleeping here. ”

"I also need medicine to help the villagers heal their wounds, won't the medicine make you coerce you to go down the mountain before it arrives? Don't worry, I have already done emergency treatment on the day I came. ”

"You tell me what I need, and tomorrow I'll go into the mountains with you, and the two of you are fast. "Chunyue actually wants to try her luck in the mountain to see if she can meet Mu Chen, in case the place where he and the black dragon agreed to meet is near the location where they forced landing.

"It's too late for two people, some seriously injured people have to be dealt with as soon as possible, and when the medicine comes back, I will refine it, and it is estimated that they will die." ”

"What then? Is there any other way?"

"What else can I do, go to the black market to buy it, if you want to compensate me, you can pay for it. ”

"Okay, you can say how much you need. "Chunyue has no feelings for humans, but after all, she delayed the time for treatment, and she still lives here, and she may need the help of the villagers to find Mu Chen in the future, so she agreed very happily.

Dark Orange paused for a moment, and then said, "Three gold coins are enough, if you..."

"Here you go. Chunyue took out three gold coins from the animal skin bag and handed them to Ink Orange without hesitation.

"Ahh Okay..."Mo Cheng wanted her to give half of it, but before she could finish speaking, the gold coin was already in her hand.

While she was still in the clouds, Village Chief Xia happened to appear at the door, looking at the gold coin in Mo Cheng's hand and the animal skin bag that Chunyue was tying, and stumbled: "Quick... Come and eat... Dine. ”

"Ah, okay. Mo Cheng hurriedly grabbed his hand and got up to block in front of Chunyue.

The two of them followed the village chief Xia to the granary, which was a wooden structure with a sloping roof, 20 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 5 meters at the highest point. The warehouse, which was supposed to be full of grain, had nothing but straw and empty sacks, and was empty.

In the middle of the warehouse is a long table with villagers gathered on either side of the table, on which steaming potatoes, cassava, and some wild vegetables that cannot be named.

When the two entered, the villagers were not surprised that they were outsiders, and their eyes only stayed on them for a few seconds before returning to the table.

Mo Cheng followed Village Chief Xia and walked towards the front of the team, not caring about her identity at all, while Chunyue tiptoed and hesitated, this was the first time she had seen so many humans, a little jerky, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

"Come here, what are you doing stupidly. Murphy waved at her.

"Oh. She took a few quick steps and chased after her.

The two elders distributed food at the end of the line, and the villagers lined up to receive it in turn, and Village Chief Xia directly passed over them, picked up a spoon and took out a plate of wild vegetables, and grabbed a few pieces of cassava and handed them to the black orange. Mo Cheng turned around and handed it to Chunyue, took another one, and left with her.

"That's all you eat?" asked Junyue after heading out.

"Ah, what else would you eat?"

"I've always thought that human food is very rich and delicious, but it doesn't look like it's delicious. As she spoke, she picked up a piece of cassava and took a bite, chewed it twice, swallowed it with a difficult face, and complained with a sad face: "This has no taste at all." ”

"You're listening to the nonsense of the merchant group back again. They are business groups, official representatives, all hospitality is in charge of the major city lords and royal families, and the food is naturally full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, who knows what the common people eat. Murphy ate as she walked, explaining to her with the gap between her chews.

"But it's too unpalatable, it doesn't taste at all, it's dry, and it's hard to swallow. She stared at the cassava in her hand and frowned.

"The villagers here are all staple food, didn't they let the black flat-capped goblin rob it some time ago, it's good to eat these, and after a few days, the surrounding wild vegetables have been dug up, and they will starve." ”

"I see why you don't care about anything, whether it's the injured villagers or the food rations that don't have enough to eat, you don't care about yourself, aren't they looking for you to solve these problems?"

"I didn't come here from them, I and the Patriarch Mao Sui recommended myself, I came here mainly to treat the wounded, as for how to help them survive the famine, how to destroy the demonic beasts, that's not my duty, the young city lord will send someone to solve it." ”

"The Great Patriarch, the Young City Lord, who are these?"

"You don't know, don't worry about this, these villagers will be fine anyway. The two returned to the cabin, and Murray sat at the table and continued to eat her dinner.

"These villagers are so pitiful, all of them are ragged and bloodless, and they are defenseless against me as an outsider. ”

"This is the border, there are more people in the wasteland, although they don't often enter the village, but the villagers have long been surprised in the black market, and they have just experienced hardships, how can they pay attention to you. ”

"Have they always lived like this?" Chunyue put the dinner plate on the table, without any intention of moving, seeing the miserable situation of the villagers, and tasting these tasteless foods, she lost her appetite.

"That's not it, the attacks of demonic beasts here are basically periodic, this time it was an accident, no one thought that they would come at this time, and they were negligent, so the consequences are a bit disastrous. Mo Cheng explained while eating, still with that frivolous attitude.

"No matter how I hear it, I don't think you have any feelings for this place, and you don't take their suffering seriously. Chunyue was a little angry, although the wasteland was a place where the weak and the strong eat, but the relationship between the same clan was deep, she didn't understand why Mo Cheng, who had lived here, could explain this matter to her so lightly.

"It's not that I'm cold-blooded, it's really not a big deal, it's normal for demonic beasts to harass the village, it's not like your wasteland, everyone can fight, everyone is strong. Except for the big towns that can rely on the city walls and garrisoned armies to resist the invasion in an organized manner, the rest of the villages have to rely on the villagers themselves to defend them, the rich villages are hired all year round to resist the monsters, and the villages with insufficient financial resources can only be hired for a short time, and once there is a mistake in time, they have to accept their fate. Shanling Village is located on the border, it is originally a poor area, and its own production conditions are not good, if it were not for the young city lord often providing protection free of charge, it is estimated that this place would have been abandoned and uninhabited. Although Jiayuan City is the state capital, there are many villages under its jurisdiction, and it is impossible to be perfect, so it would be good to send someone to solve the problems here. Mo Cheng saw that Chunyue was a little angry, and explained to her seriously.

"In that case, why don't they build the wall firmly and defend against invasion on their own, isn't it more reliable. ”

"You are still the way of thinking of the wastelanders, you can't understand the desperate disparity in strength, what can you do if you repair it, they don't have weapons, they don't know how to fight, what's the use of spending a lot of money, time, and energy to build a wall that can be breached in a day. You have the best fortifications, but you don't have the ability to fight back, and you still watch people invade. ”

"I've seen a huge disparity in strength. Chunyue muttered quietly, Mo Cheng's words reminded her of Mu Chen, and also made her understand the despair of the villagers in the face of demonic beasts.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, and if there's anything else you want to know, I'll explain it all to you at once. ”

"Nothing, I see. Junyue smiled at her embarrassedly.

"Do you still eat these, if you don't eat them, I'll send them back to the villagers." ”

"Don't eat, don't eat, you take it. ”

Dark Orange picked up her empty plate and Chunyue's barely touched dinner, and turned to go out.

After she left, Chunyue sat at the dining table alone and was stunned, thinking in her head: "No matter where it is, the disparity in strength is so powerless, will I be like the villagers in my eyes, both weak and pitiful." Where are you? I really want to see the human world in your mouth, not what I see. ”
