Danding City was originally a quiet small city, and people who were not wealthy naturally accounted for the majority.
No way.
Everywhere, money is often in the hands of a few.
One day, an outsider gave some red seeds to several families, claiming to be a merchant selling herbs, and in recent years this herb called Houttuynia cordata has been particularly popular.
He sends seeds, pays wages early, and comes back to harvest the grown houttuynia after half a year, and if the harvest is good, there is an additional reward.
Half a year later, the merchant did return, and the farmers received extra wages.
The businessman said that Houttuynia cordata will still sell well in the next two years, and that there are not enough fields and they want more red herbs.
When the local farmers heard about it, they naturally signed up enthusiastically, and the result was that in the next two years, in addition to the most basic crops, almost every household in the common class of Danding City had to plant a piece of Houttuynia cordata.
But in the third year, the merchant did not come back.
The peasants were disappointed and disappointed, and ordinary people could not settle accounts with the kind of businessmen who seemed to be very rich.
The city of Danding has returned to its former order, and the only difference is that the grain growing in the field has an extra red line.
The experienced old farmer judged that this was related to the continuous cultivation of Houttuynia cordata.
However, this herb is not poisonous, and the grain of that year is not easy to sell, so you can be self-sufficient.
After another year and a half, Danding's soil will recover, and there will be no more abnormalities.
Matthew asked Angela, "Is there a problem with the bloodline food?" ”
Little Angela shook her head, "I don't know, but after that, bloodthirsty monsters appeared, not interested in cow blood and sheep blood, but like to drink human blood, outsiders will not be attacked by monsters, but not Danding City people." ”
The monsters, with bright red fur, four legs and a short tail, resembled red lions.
When the Bloodthirsty Monster first appeared, it took away many residents, and when others found the corpse in the wild, they found that the organs and internal organs of the deceased were basically undamaged, but the blood in the whole body had been sucked dry.
"Vampires?"
Matthew frowned, "No, vampires are generally in human form and bat form, and I haven't seen one in lion form." ”
"And later?"
Angela replied: "Later, people found that as long as they took the initiative to give blood to the monster, the monster would not hurt people after they were full, and the number of red-haired bloodthirsty beasts was not large, and the 'appetite' was also average, and the people of the city took turns to bleed to satisfy them. ”
Matthew: ɿ(. ・ɜ・)ɾⓌⓗⓐⓣ?
"What kind of bullshit logic is this, the people pay taxes, shouldn't the army of the country of Luo protect them?"
Angela said, "The army has come, and so have the adventurers' teams, but those bloodthirsty beasts are very cunning, and will not show up if they find a large number of strangers in or near the city. ”
"It's impossible for an army to be stationed in a small city of Danding all year round, it costs money to hire adventurers, and every time they start to deal with the bloodthirsty beasts, the inhabitants of Danding face crazy revenge, and over time, they become what they are now."
Matthew asked, "Those rich people aren't afraid of bloodthirsty beasts?" ”
Angela: "No, they're afraid, they're more afraid of death than anyone else, but they can satisfy the bloodthirsty beasts by buying blood." ”
What is the most expensive in Danding City?
That's right, it's blood.
When civilians discover that they can "get rich" by selling blood, ordinary jobs instantly lose their appeal.
In this early stage, buyers and sellers really take what they need.
Over the same time, due to massive blood loss, the body deteriorated, and the daily life of civilians became problematic, and the relationship between supply and demand gradually changed.
As a result, the rich are still rich, and they don't have to worry about any bloodthirsty beasts, they will always have enough blood to use.
The poor have a declining ability to work, and not only have to feed the red-haired monsters that are increasing year by year, but also constantly exchange blood for a living, which is not as good as it used to be.
Matthew snorted, "It's a story of a cheating father." ”
Little Angela was eager to try, "Brother Matthew, let's go rob the rich and help the poor now!" ”
A brain crash.
"If robbing the rich and helping the poor can solve all the problems, where are the poor?"
Matthew said, "Go and ask the red-haired beasts about their patterns, and get rid of these pests before anything else." ”
"Understood, Brother Matthew."
"Brother Matthew, I'll do it now!"
……
To tell the truth, after little Angela spoke neatly, Matthew was really a little unaccustomed to it.
However, there are also restrictions on her fluent spoken English.
The news about the red-haired monster is almost the same, and it is the story of finding an inn to stay.
From then on, Angela's words were noticeably less, either breaking her fingers or looking left and right, and after Matthew said that she had opened two rooms, she was even more disappointed.
The general environment of Danding Town is destined to have no entertainment projects.
Matthew wasn't in the mood to hang out for the time being.
Read a book at night, and go to bed with the lights off after one book.
He was thinking that it would not be difficult to completely kill the red-haired monsters, and if he found one, with a mental power scan according to the morphological characteristics, the bloodthirsty monsters of the entire Luo country would be exposed to the system map.
It's just that what kind of role does the businessman in the story of the pit dad play, and does this matter have anything to do with the evil god?
"The evil god rules the Terrans on the Mist Star, and instead of using force, he pushes two puppet gods out and hides behind the scenes."
"Are they brain-dead? ……”
"Or do you think it's fun to play like this?"
Matthew glanced at the red moon outside the window, "Do you want to listen to Old Hera's advice and kill all the evil gods above the S level first?" ”
Another thought, "Forget it, it used to be for balance, but now the Shenmu position has no restrictions on me, and it can't give the old lady the illusion that I am still very good at talking." ”
"In terms of combat power, the Shenmu Alliance does not lose to the Misty Evil God, the goddess can return to the god realm to resurrect when she dies, and the demon king is dead...... Death is death, and it is better to die all of them, so that Nilubel will not be distracted by the affairs of the demon world. ”
In other words, the plan for this trip remains unchanged, accompany little Angela to do tasks, travel by the way, and other issues have nothing to do with Brother Matthew.
Just then...... "Master Matthew, are you asleep?" ”
A small figure holding a dolphin doll walked into the room.
It's a familiar scene.
Could it be that little Angela, like Ares, has learned badly?
The small figure is Angela without a doubt.
After whispering a few words, she came to Matthew's bed, kissed her forehead and then her lips, then put the doll aside, and hugged Matthew's waist for a long time.
Then, Angela dragged off her shoes, climbed into bed, got into Matthew's bed, and fell asleep.
It seems that the little girl used to sleep with a doll, but tonight, Matthew acted as a big doll for a time.
"I'm smack!"
Matthew: "It's too much to use bean buns as dry food." ”
"They still call me baba during the day, and they become a tool man at night."
Matthew felt at a loss, so he fell asleep with Angela in his arms......
