Chapter 834: Despair
"What if there's no food?" Lorkith opened the empty food bag and said to everyone.
"Then we'll have to try our luck in the mountains and forests." Mori Feng said.
The group came to the nearby mountain forest, but due to the excessive hunting of the locals, the wild beasts in the nearby mountain forest were also very scarce, and for most of the day, only one pheasant was hit, and no other prey was encountered.
And the pheasant is not enough for five people to eat, so no one can share a little, barely alleviating the level of hunger.
After eating the pheasant, everyone was silent.
On the one hand, I want to get out of the customs and go to the eastern world, but on the other hand, I am blocked here because I don't have the identity certificate to clear the customs.
You can't live in a town without identification, you don't have a place to live, you don't have a place to live, and if you continue to drag it out, you're dead.
Ji Ran, Sen Feng and Miria are good to say, they are elves, and the elves' ability to endure hunger and thirst is much stronger than that of humans, and they may be able to survive until they find food, but Rocky and Lorkise are afraid that they will not have such good luck.
"What to do? If we get caught, we'll go to jail. Rocky asked worriedly.
"My sister will be sold into slavery." Rocky looked at Lorkith sadly, his eyes very uneasy.
Lotis lowered her head, silently shedding tears, she seems to have despaired, as a hard-working commoner, there are many restrictions by nature, all the industries that make money are written into the royal law, it is natural for the nobles to make money, all the mineral resources, rivers and lakes including the land are noble, the commoners have nothing, except for working on the land day and night, barely making a living, there is no other choice at all.
And if a commoner is used to living a hard life, thinks that the world is so big, and wants to see it, he will often become bankrupt and have nothing.
If Rocky and Rockis hadn't left the village, maybe Rockis would have met with accidents, but Rocky would have survived, inherited the business of his ancestors, and worked on the land all his life as a farmer.
However, now there is no such treatment, if a peasant leaves his land, he will be regarded as a rebel, equivalent to a heretic, in the long history, all the religions that have existed are in the service of the aristocracy, if a religion can make the common people feel at ease to be the slaves of the nobility, then this religion is a good religion, it will be supported by the nobles, and it will be praised and carried forward by the scholars who are attached to the nobles, so as to become a faith that everyone obeys.
This kind of belief allows the aristocracy to exploit and oppress the commoners with peace of mind, and makes the commoners willingly endure and obey, and be willing to be slaves.
Rocky was a peasant in such a world, and now he turned his back on his land and no longer served as slaves to the local nobility, which was a serious violation of religious beliefs, and if caught, he would be imprisoned, and if it was serious, he would even be executed as a heretic or a traitor.
Lorkith now regrets that she felt that she had dragged down her brother Rocky, and if her brother hadn't been there to save her, he might not have ended up where he is today.
Lotis's parents died early, and before his father died, he told Lotis that he must take care of his younger brother, his younger brother is the only bloodline in their family, if his younger brother dies early, their family's bloodline will be broken, Lotis once cried and swore to her father that she would take good care of her younger brother and never let the family's bloodline be ruined in her hands.
However, now this vow seems to be about to fail.
Seeing the current passive situation, Ji Ran, Sen Feng and Miria were also very sad, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, this is the human world, they know very little about the cruelty of the human world, although they have lived for more than a hundred years, but, strictly speaking, it is only the age of human children, naïve and ignorant, full of curiosity about this world, but they know nothing.
They lack a solution to their dilemma, and they don't know what to do under such pressure.
In the middle of the night, it was cold and unbearable, and all five of them were hungry and endured the cold wind in the mountains and forests.
The next day, there was still no food, so Mori Feng decided that his only son would go deep into the mountains and forests to find some food and come back, leaving Ji Ran and Miria in charge of protecting Rocky and Lotis.
However, until the evening, Sen Feng still found nothing, and only brought back a few sour fruits, which were all leftovers from the picking, which were sour and astringent, and difficult to swallow.
Seeing that the sun was about to set again, everyone's hopes dimmed little by little like clouds in the sky.
"If we continue like this, we're going to be finished, what should we do? We've got to figure out a way to do it. Milia said anxiously.
"What else can be done? There is no food in the surrounding mountains and forests, and the town cannot be entered, if we go back to the original road, it will take at least three days to walk, and we will not be able to hold on at all. Damn it! Sen Feng sighed helplessly and slammed his fist on the trunk.
Rocky kept his head down, constantly tugging at the grass on the ground, and Rockis silently shed tears and didn't say a word.
They had been hungry for two days, with no strength in their bodies, and despair was gripped over them.
Ji Ran was also very sad when he saw such a situation.
"Milia, come on." Ji Ran beckoned Milia into the forest.
"Aiyi, what's wrong?" Miria asked.
"Milia, if this continues, we will be finished, and now we are the only two of us who can save everyone." Ji Ran said to Milia.
"You mean?" Milia seemed to remember something, and looked at Ji Ran in surprise.
"Well, remember what that man said two days ago? As soon as the two of us go with him, he will give us identification, and it will only take three days. Ji Ran discussed with Miria.
"But, Ai, you know, it's dangerous, maybe he'll sell us to bars and make us escorts, I don't like to drink, and I don't like to be around rough human men, maybe they'll violate us, we elves are a noble race, and we can't be violated by inferior humans." Miria said with great resistance.
"I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought about our situation? If we don't get food supplements, Rocky and Lotis will starve to death, even us, we won't be able to last a few days, if we are deprived of our strength by hunger, and then meet bad people, we will not be the same and it will be difficult to escape the fate of being violated? Ji Ran looked at Miria and asked.
