The shout was repeated several times before it stopped.

After this shout fell, Ogata and Amachi glanced at each other.

"It seems...... Toyowa Village still maintains a certain order...... "Ogata was the first to say.

"Hmm." Amachi nodded, "Let's go check it out." ”

Both of them were very curious about the shouting just now.

On the one hand, the two wanted to see how many living people were still in this Fenghe Village, and on the other hand, they wanted to see what kind of distribution method this so-called "distribution breakfast" was.

Ogata and Amachi move little by little around the outskirts of Toyowa Village, looking for a suitable place to climb into.

Although there are torches in some places in Toyowa Village, there are not many torches, and there are many dim places that are not covered by light, so Ogata and Amachi quickly find a suitable place to turn in.

After breaking into Fenghe Village, the two of them slowly sneaked past the birthplace of the shouts just now.

In just a few moments, the two found their goal.

"Amachi, look." Ogata churned his chin forward, "We're here." ”

Ogata and Amachi are now hiding between the gaps between the two houses.

These places tend to be dimly lit and rarely visited, so they are especially suitable as hiding places.

The two of them who were hiding here only had to poke their heads out slightly, and they could see a lot of people gathered in the open space not far away.

These people lined up in two lines in front of the two youths and received the rice from the hands of the two youths.

Whether it was these two young people, or the young people who were queuing up to receive rice, they all looked the same as the people standing guard in the paddy field that Ogata had just met—their faces were yellow and thin, and they knew at a glance that they hadn't eaten properly for a long time, and they might fall down if a gust of wind blew.

"There is so little rice...... "Looking at the villagers who were receiving rice, Amachi muttered, "I can understand why the people here look like skin and bones......

Although there was some distance from each other, it was clear that both Ogata and Amachi had cut it down - a young man in charge of distributing rice picked up a handful of rice with four fingers and put it into an old woman's cloth bag.

"They seem to be giving rice by household." Ogata echoed softly on the side, "Anyway, everyone is from a village, and everyone knows who belongs to which household, so there is no need to worry about giving the wrong rice ......."

Although rice is given according to households, whether it is a large or small household, the rice that can be obtained is very small, and the gap between them is probably a small pinch of rice or a small pinch of rice less.

Every household can only receive such a small amount of rice, so it is strange that the faces and physique of the villagers can get better.

- Just like I thought......

Ogata said in his heart.

-- The self-enclosed village of Toyowa practiced an "absolute monarchy" and a "rationing system", and all the materials were distributed in a unified manner......

- The head of Toyowa Village, Konnosuke, should be the "monarch".

- Judging from the current situation, that Konnosuke should be quite popular and skillful, and after locking the village for so long, the village can still maintain stable order.

Ogata had speculated before that if there were still living people living in the village inside the wooden walls, then this Toyowa village must have practiced "absolute monarchy" and "rationing" in food and other important materials.

After all, in this near-eschatological environment, the "absolute monarchy" that concentrates power in one place is the most efficient system that can lead everyone to live.

Of course, the premise of efficiency is that the "monarch" who leads everyone is not incompetent.

After retracting his gaze from the crowd that was still sending rice, Ogata said to Amachi:

"Let's go, Amachi. Let's go to the head of this village, Konnosuke. ”

"Hmm. Let's go. Amachi nodded, "There are a lot of villagers who are collecting rice here, just enough for us to sneak into Kinnosuke's house." ”

From the very beginning, Ogata and Amachi had only one goal, and that was the head of this Toyowa village, Konnosuke.

As the ruler of the "world within the walls", he must have the most information about ogres and how to get out of the island.

Ogata and Amachi turned their heads at the same time in perfect understanding, looking at the most imposing mansion in the village.

Before entering Toyowa Village, Ogata and Amachi noticed this magnificent mansion, because this mansion was too conspicuous, and the other people's houses were ordinary low houses, but the house was a grand mansion with at least 3 floors high.

Sokai told Ogata that Konnosuke was not only the head of Toyowa Village, but also the most wealthy person on the island, and his home was therefore very magnificent.

Therefore, Ogata and the others did not need to ask the other villagers where Konnosuke's home was, and they could immediately lock on to the target by raising their eyes.

While there were still many villagers receiving rice there, Ogata and Amachi sneaked out of the gap between the houses and quietly approached the imposing mansion.

……

……

At the same time—

Somewhere in a valley not far from Toyowa Village.

"Hey! New Arrival! Sotaro shouted at Nanaemon and the others, "This is our base!" ”

Nanaemon, who obediently followed behind Sotaro and the others, looked around.

This is a secluded valley with high terrain.

In all corners of the valley there are people sitting or standing.

After Sotaro led Nanaemon and the others into this valley, these people immediately threw all kinds of glances at Nanaemon and the others.

There are happy eyes.

There are interested gazes.

Yes...... That naked obscene gaze.

Nanaemon, who was swept away by these gazes, couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

"Don't be afraid!" Sotaro, who was leading Nanaemon and the others towards the depths of the valley, smiled at Nanaemon and said, "We strictly prohibit bullying here, as long as you obey orders obediently, we won't do anything to you." Not only will it not treat you well, but it will also treat you well. ”

"Let me ask...... "Nanaemon Assotaro asked softly, "how many people have you gathered?" ”

"With you newcomers, there's number 42."

“42……？” Nanaemon raised an eyebrow, "There are so many of you, where is the source of food?" ”

"Of course, I'm going to borrow it from the islanders here." Sotaro turned his head and grinned at Nanaemon, the smile he showed was a little hideous.

"...... with the islanders Borrow? Nanaemon looked puzzled.

"I'll talk to you about it later. We're here. Feed! Eldest brother! I'm back with new people! ”
