A moment later, in the largest tent in the middle of the tribe, Chen Xing met the leader here.

To be precise, it is the village chief here, because this is a village of Eastern Continent culture. In the Red Continent, the displaced people of the Western Continent culture are generally called "tribes", and the supreme leader is the "chief", while the Eastern Continent culture is called "villages", and the supreme leader is the "village chief".

The village chief was an elderly man, whose skin was like the bark of a poplar tree outside, crawling with cracks and wrinkles. He looked seventy or eighty years old, his body was thin and thin, but his eyes were bright, and he was holding a small oil lamp in his hand, and he was looking at Chen Xing carefully.

After about a few seconds, the village chief put down the oil lamp, leaned on crutches, bent his waist, and bowed to Chen Xing. In the wilderness, the strong are respected, and Chen Xing is the lord of a land, and his identity is naturally much higher.

"You are Lord Chen Xing?" The village chief raised his head and asked with a little confusion. He didn't expect that the "adult" mentioned by "Red Wolf" Quake was so young.

"Yes, I am Chen Xing, the leader of the third squad of the Orchid Town Garrison, and the person in charge of the water station stronghold in the northwest of Orchid Town." Chen Xing said in a calm voice.

"Hello, Lord Chen Xing, I am the village chief of Kali Village, Garid." The old man respectfully introduced himself.

After identifying each other, Garid invited Chen Xing to sit down. Although it is the largest tent, it is still a little cramped. The ground was covered with animal skins, pigs, sheep, and unknown creatures.

The two sat cross-legged across a small long table. There was a small oil lamp on the seat, which emitted a faint glow.

Chen Xingzheng was about to ask about the situation of the village, such as how many people there were, how many young and middle-aged people there were, and how many elderly people and children. Suddenly, the light turned on, and two young girls lifted the curtain and walked in from outside. They knelt down at the table and placed the plates in their hands in front of Chen Xing in turn. There were some red wild fruits that resembled hawthorn, as well as lamb jerky and some pastries made from something unrecognizable.

Looking at it, the two girls had beautiful faces, but their faces were slightly yellow, and they were a little sickly thin under their homespun clothes. It is not difficult to see that it is due to malnutrition. In the homeless villages, good things must be reserved for the young and middle-aged to eat, because they have to go out to find food or protect the village. The elderly, children and women usually eat a little.

"The conditions here are not good, only these dates, mutton jerky, mulberry fruit cake, you eat first, I have already asked people to kill sheep." Gared said.

"It's okay, I think it's good." Chen Xing symbolically ate a sand date, and then asked about the situation in the village.

Kalid said that there were 761 people here, of whom 138 were young and middle-aged, and the rest were old people, children, and women. Then, some of their customs and habits are explained. The people of Gari village believe in the "god of green lanterns", believing that the gods are hidden in the wick to protect their people.

"The state religion of the Red Dragon Principality is the Holy Light Church, and you can only worship your gods in private, and you can't preach, otherwise no one will be able to protect your safety." Chen Xing reminded.

"This is natural." Garid nodded.

At this time, Chen Xing found that the two girls were staring blankly at the jerky on the table, their eyes flashing with hunger. So he moved the plate and said, "Shall you eat some too?" ”

"Huh?" They were taken aback, and at the same time raised their heads, looked at Chen Xing, and then at the village chief, as if they were hesitant.

"Lord Chen Xing is our most honored guest, he asks you to eat, and you will eat." Garid said with a gentle smile.

The two girls suddenly looked happy, and they reached for the jerky and pastries in unison, and gobbled them into their mouths.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Garid said kindly.

Seeing the village chief's performance, Chen Xing nodded secretly. The village is simple and will certainly be easy to manage in the future.

"Master Chen Xing, I still have questions and want to ask you for advice." Gared said.

"Please." Chen Xing made a "please" gesture.

"What kind of person is the mayor of Orchid Town, our future patron?" Garid asked. This question is the most critical, and the mayor's personality determines the environment in which they will survive in the future. If you are a hot-tempered person who is cruel to the people, it is better to stay in the wilderness. Even though the environment is harsh and hungry, he is also free.

"My position was brought up by killing Wang Bo, the captain of the third squad in Orchid Town." Chen Xing showed a mysterious smile and said.

"What did he do wrong?" Garid's face changed slightly, and he asked.

"He took pleasure in slaughtering civilians, so he died." Chen Xing's eyes froze and he said, "I shot my head and shattered it." ”

"Well......," said Garid, who pondered for a moment, "the mayor must be a just and wise patron. ”

"Yes." Chen Xing nodded and said.

Garid lowered his head, thought for a long time, and finally clenched his fists with determination, and said, "Let's pack up and leave in ten days." ”

"Good!" Chen Xing stretched out his hand and shouted in a deep voice. Although the voice was not small, it did not affect the appetite of the two girls in the slightest, and pastries and dates filled their mouths.

With two hands together, the migration is done.

In the evening, a large pot was set up in the middle of the village, boiling mutton, and a fire was set up next to it, roasting the leg of mutton, and the smell of meat was permeating. Old and young gathered in a circle, looking at the meat in the pot, their eyes were about to bulge.

However, each person could only get a small piece, and only the village chief and a few elders who accompanied the guests could eat more.

In order to win people's hearts, Chen Xing naturally couldn't eat more, and like ordinary homeless people, he only ate a small piece. Moreover, the pot of the homeless is pitch black, and they don't know what they have cooked, so as not to eat what they should not eat......

At night, Chen Xing was alone in the tent, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he was about to take compressed biscuits out to satisfy his hunger, but a timid voice suddenly came from outside.

"Your Excellency, have you slept?"

"You are?" Chen Xing wondered. The voice outside is a little childish, it should be a girl who is not very old.

"We met the village chief today......" her voice trembled a little, and she seemed nervous.

"Is there something wrong?" Chen Xing asked.

"I, can I come in?"

Before Chen Xing could answer, the curtain was lifted, and a girl got in, and threw herself into his arms without saying a word, her shoulders shrugged slightly, nervous.

Chen Xing III is a human being, how can he not know what the other party means. However, looking at the girl's thin body, he couldn't bear it, so he gently pushed the other party away and said, "You don't have to be like this. ”

"You, you want me, otherwise, otherwise they will beat me to death......" The girl burst into tears, and her eyes were full of helplessness when she looked at Chen Xing.

"Who?" Chen Xing straightened his face and asked.

The girl shook her head desperately, refusing to answer.

Chen Xing thought about it, gave up asking, and instead took out two canned meat from his backpack and stuffed them into the girl's arms.

"Eat, sleep here when you're full." Chen Xing pointed to the corner of the tent and said, then took out the compressed biscuits, tore open the aluminum paper in the package, and ate it to himself. It is not difficult to guess that the village chief asked her to come. If she refuses to do so, it will not be good for her.

The girl stood up silently, walked to the corner with the canned meat, and curled up in a ball. Seeing this, Chen Xing picked up the blanket beside him and threw it over.

"Go to bed early." He said.

"Hmm." The girl nodded, and the gaze that looked at him became a little complicated, with gratitude, doubt, and a trace of inexplicable loss.
