"Have you figured it out? Is the real reason with me going on an adventure in the human world? Ji Ran looked at Sen Feng and asked.

"Well, anyway, we can't go back to the Elven Forest, so let's go to the human world and have a look." Sen Feng nodded, and there was a little expectation in his eyes.

"Thank you, Senfeng." Ji Ran said gratefully.

"Aiyi, don't be so polite, who made us the best partners?" Sen Feng said with a smile.

"Let's go see Miria." Ji Ran said, getting up beside Milia.

Miria was unconscious, and her body was so weak.

It turned out that when she rescued Ai Yi and Mori Feng from the enchantment, she exhausted her mental strength, and then fled to the edge of the forest with the two of them, and her physical strength was also greatly consumed, and finally led to a deep coma.

Ji Ran and Sen Feng tried various methods, but they still couldn't wake her up.

"Milia's physical strength is too strong, I'm afraid she won't wake up for a while, but her body should be fine, and her breathing is normal." Mori Feng probed Miria's breath and said.

"Then we must take her with us, and don't leave her here alone." Ji Ran said to Sen Feng.

"Well, I definitely won't leave her." Mori Feng nodded, then picked up Miria on his back and walked towards the outside of the forest together.

The two walked for a short time and came to a small village.

The village is somewhat desolate, with dilapidated houses, and the farmland outside the village is full of thorns and weeds.

It's like no one has taken care of it for a long time.

Sen Feng and Ji Ran came to the small village, there were very few people in the village, and they were all yellow and thin, even when they saw elves like Sen Feng and Ji Ran, they were numb and did not react at all.

They stared blankly at the world, as if nothing could arouse their interest.

"What's wrong with the people here? Why are the expressions so decadent? It's as if there is no hope in sight. Sen Feng looked at the surrounding villagers and said strangely to Ji Ran.

"They must have been through something, otherwise, they couldn't be in this state." Ji Ran said with deep sympathy.

"But that's fine, we can find a place to stay in this small village in the middle of nowhere, and then we'll continue on our way when Milia has regained her strength." Sen Feng said to Ji Ran.

"Yes, okay." Ji Ran nodded and agreed.

Ji Ran and Sen Feng came to a small dilapidated courtyard in the village, which was overgrown with weeds, and the dilapidated wooden door was riddled with holes, and the door bolt was gone.

In the small courtyard there is a broken grass house, divided into three rooms, but the west side of the wall is half collapsed, the roof is gone, only the middle and east two rooms are barely intact, but, after the baptism of wind and rain, the walls are covered with green moss, and the room is filled with a faint musty smell.

"It's a little dirty, but fortunately, it's still inhabitable, so let's settle here first." Sen Feng said to Ji Ran.

"Yes, okay." Ji Ran nodded, this is also the only way.

Ji Ran cleaned the room and cleaned it up, and then Sen Feng put Miria on the bed and went outside to find some fruit and came back.

Fortunately, the elves don't need much food, even an apple or an orange can easily survive the day.

Moreover, the elven body has a magical self-cleaning ability, so you don't have to worry about sweating or getting dirty, even if you don't take a bath, your whole body will be very refreshing.

Sen Feng and Ji Ran each ate an apple, and since Miria had not woken up yet, Sen Feng squeezed out the juice of an orange and fed it to Miria.

In the evening, there was a sudden movement outside the courtyard, although the sound was very small, but it was clear enough for the elves who were sensitive by nature.

"Someone." Sen Feng stood up vigilantly, and Ji Ran immediately followed.

I saw that outside the small courtyard, a few villagers were wandering, looking so scary.

"What are they doing?" Ji Ran looked at Sen Feng and asked.

"I don't know, it seems to be some kind of ritual, but I'm not sure." Mori Feng guessed.

Soon after, the cry of a girl came from the other side of the village, and the sound got closer and closer, passing the dirt road outside the small courtyard and being carried outside the village.

Afterwards, the villagers followed out of the village.

Ji Ran and Sen Feng thought it was so strange, what were they doing?

Although they wanted to know why, they also knew that the human world was full of dangers, and besides, Milia was still unconscious, and they couldn't leave her alone.

The two lived in the village for a few days, and something similar happened every evening, and, even more strangely, the girls who were carried out of the village never seemed to return.

"Where did those girls go? Why didn't you come back? Ji Ran asked curiously.

"I don't know, maybe it's a monk girl, right? I used to hear Grandma Sophia say that when humans marry their daughters, in order to express the sadness of separation, girls usually cry and leave their parents' homes to show their reluctance to their parents' families, perhaps, they are the same, right? Sen Feng guessed.

"Well, it seems to be so, and in my memory, there is also such a situation." Ji Ran said.

"However, there are so few people in the village, and there are not many girls left, if they all get married, what will happen to this village? I haven't seen any family marrying a daughter-in-law? Sen Feng said strangely.

Ji Ran thought about it, it seems that it is also, no matter how remote the village is, it is normal to marry and marry, if you just marry outside, and no one marries a daughter-in-law, then the village will not be able to support a few generations, and there will be no one.

Although the status of women is generally not as high as that of men, they are the main force in giving birth to children, and if there are no women to give birth to offspring, no matter how rich the place is, it will become depressed.

On the fourth day, Miria finally woke up, but her body was still a little weak.

However, after she woke up, she found that Sen Feng and Ji Ran were with her, and she felt very happy, and her mental state quickly improved.

"Aiyi, I'm so glad to see you, I thought we would be captured by Grandma Sophia." Miria said with a sigh of relief.

"No, we're in a human village now, and Grandma Sophia shouldn't be able to find anyone here." Ji Ran said with a smile.

"Aiyi, I broke Grandma Sophia's oath and rescued you from the Elven Forest, and I don't have the face to go see Grandma Sophia again." Milia suddenly said with some sadness.

"I know, Miria, we can't go back, but Mori and I will always be with you, and we'll be together forever, okay?" Ji Ran grabbed Milia's little hand and comforted gently.

"Well, we'll always be together." Miria nodded vigorously, and her sad mood suddenly improved.
