Chapter 126: The World Is Cruel (Part II)
"Brother Liao Qi?"
Lott looked ahead, Liao Qi suddenly stopped, and let out a questioning sound.
The boy had not noticed it at all, and had never imagined that on the ground at his feet, this slightly raised small dirt slope, under which it turned out that a large amount of food would be stored.
Even the fairy woman, who has always been extremely keen, is obvious from Sophie's confused eyes, and even this academy demon clan also does not understand Liao Qi's behavior.
Actually, it's no wonder
The green hamster rarely appears in the field of vision of outsiders, and a weak monster like this, who has no quarrel with the world and lives only for himself, will not receive the slightest attention at all.
maybe
If it weren't for him, a granary like them, which is extremely hidden, would probably never be discovered by outsiders for the rest of their lives.
But
"Lot, and Emma, you two dig this place together."
Liao Qi pointed to the small mound of dirt that was slightly raised at his feet.
He not only commanded the boy, but also counted the little girl and Emma who were held in Sophie's arms.
Liao Qi said that accepting the girl's help was not just for show.
Since Emma is willing to contribute her strength and faith, Liao Qi is also willing to help the girl find a job that can be completed even with the other party's petite body.
"What do you want to do?"
Unexpectedly, after Liao Qi's words, Sophie did not let go of the girl, with a sense of vigilance and questioning in her expression.
It's like that
Mom with kids?
Liao Qi finally knew the weird feeling that appeared on this fairy woman from the beginning.
It turns out that the source of the other party really comes from
Emma?
From the beginning, Liao Qi was a little skeptical of this, until now he has completely confirmed that he can see it clearly.
However, Liao Qi still put this aside first, he ignored Sophie, and said directly to Emma
"Emma, come down and help brother, it's your turn."
As for the girl in Sofer's arms, after Liao Qi spoke, little Emma nodded without hesitation.
Next, she took the initiative to say to Sophie, who was holding her
"Well, Sister Fairy, can you put me down? I'm going to help my brother as agreed. ”
"Okay, okay."
"But Emma, you have to be careful, don't dig too hard, if you accidentally hit somewhere, come to my sister, my sister will help you heal."
Sophie slowly put the girl down and whispered in the other's ear.
"Well, Emma will pay attention!"
The girl smiled sweetly at the fairy woman, but soon, the expression on her small face turned to focus and seriousness.
She took the small shovel that had been handed to Lott and, together with the boy, began to dig into the location of the small mound.
During the whole process, although the boy exerted most of his strength, it can be seen that the little girl is also trying her best, her face is flushed, and she has no intention of being lazy and perfunctory.
This made Liao Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, mentally evaluate Emma a few points higher.
The green hamster's granary was not too deep, and after the two of them had not dug for a while, Lot's cry of surprise rang out.
"These are!"
"A lot of sweet potatoes, and nuts, and pine nuts," Emma shouted as well.
Looking at the food that was constantly being shaved out by the two, Sofer, who was standing opposite Liao Qi, couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.
Why
Why is there food here for no apparent reason?
The doubts in the fairy woman's heart are also Lott and Emma's, and after the three of them set their eyes on Liao Qi, Liao Qi sighed and said a little reluctantly
"Green hamster, this is one of the granaries of green hamsters."
Later, Liao Qi roughly popularized this inconspicuous monster to them, how to use the habits of green hamsters, and how to identify where the green hamsters are stored.
After such an explanation, the principle was understood, and the young Lott was the first to be so excited that he almost didn't jump.
"It's amazing, Brother Liao Qi!"
The young man's admiration for Liao Qi is beyond limits.
If there is a favorability system at this time, Liao Qi feels that Lott must be the first to be full.
So I count it as myself
Have you already hugged your thighs beforehand?
Liao Qi recalled the legendary uncle who was famous in the "New Era" game, the leader of the entire Demon Hunter force.
But
Is it true that I didn't recognize the wrong person?
"Brother Liao Qi, I'll tell the whole village about this method when I go back, so that everyone may not have to worry about food anymore!"
Today's teenagers are a bit of a dancer.
It's no wonder that the food they found in a green hamster storage location alone was almost enough for five or six people to eat a meal.
If only I could dig a few more every day
Maybe
It can really save the whole village from the pain of starvation!
Just when Lott was about to impatient, he hurriedly urged Liao Qi to lead them to find the next place for the green hamster to store food
The next second later, Liao Qi's faint voice immediately made Lott stiffen in place again.
"Are you sure you really want to do that?"
"By the way, these underground granaries we excavate are all collected by green hamsters over a week or more, and every time we destroy them, they have less food left."
Liao Qi walked in front of the boy and pointed to the food that the boy was holding in his arms.
He continued with a calm expression
"In other words, we're the kind of robbers, robbing them of the food they need to survive, Lot, I remember you, shouldn't you be the most hated for this kind of behavior?"
"Brother Liao Qi, I, I"
The boy wanted to say something to refute it, but he seemed to be dumb, and he couldn't pronounce any syllables.
However, Liao Qi did not stop.
"If they don't have enough food, they will starve to death, or they will take the risk of going farther and more remote to find food, and then be killed by other predators, to name it"
"Don't you think that a non-aggressive, weak creature like a green hamster is very similar to us humans?"
"And you, Lot, what you want to do next is the same cruelty to the green hamsters as the other demons and monsters that have attacked and plundered your village."
Smack
The young man was told by Liao Qi to take a few steps back, and he didn't even notice that the food he had worked so hard to dig up in his arms fell to the ground.
Before Liao Qi mentioned this, Lott was completely unaware of his behavior.
He was simply happy, happy to get food, happy to be happy that everyone in the village might not have to go hungry in the future.
But
After Liao Qi's words.
be
yes, by yourself, by yourself, and by yourself, what's the difference between you and those damn and hateful monsters!
Lot, whose heart is like a blank sheet of paper, can't accept such a blow.
he
Unconsciously he became the object of his greatest hatred, and he didn't even notice it, and he was happy about it!
He, he
"No, big brother, Emma thinks you're not right."
Suddenly, the little girl's voice rang in Lot's ears.
I saw that she first bent down, carefully picked up the food that the boy had dropped on the ground, and then handed it to Lot.
"Emma, I, We"
Lott was a little afraid to pick up what he considered "sinful" food.
However, the little girl's clear eyes just stared at Lot.
Next, Emma said to the boy in her immature voice
"Brother, survival is a lucky thing, not a matter of course, that's what Dad told me."
"So Brother Lot, we didn't do anything wrong, because the world is inherently cruel, isn't it? Brother? ”
After saying that, Emma stood on tiptoe.
The girl gently put the food dropped by the boy in her hand back into Lot's arms.
