Chapter 154: Villagers in a Desperate Situation
However, whether it was Cheng Yangxi, Zhou Xu or Wangkong, the three of them couldn't swallow it.
The people of this village are poor!
The so-called best house is actually a simple house made of wooden planks and covered with thatched overhead!
As for the other houses, they are all thatched houses supported by a few wooden sticks, stacked with boulders on both sides, and the gaps are blocked with thatch!
The food placed in front of Cheng Yangxi has exhausted the entire village.
In fact, it was more than two dozen fruits, a few pieces of animal meat that had been cooked, but still exuded the smell of rot.
Outside the room, more than a dozen children, who were relatively normal, stared directly at the food in front of Cheng Yangxi's table.
Some were drooling.
Some seem to be smelling and obsessed.
Some of them were playing with their other companions, and from time to time they sneaked their eyes over.
There was also a little girl who was only two years old, and the two extra little hands around her waist were already beginning to take shape. At this moment, she was the only one who crawled towards Cheng Yangxi and the three from the outside.
It's just that there are still three meters away from Cheng Yangxi and the others, and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with two heads on his shoulders ran up quickly, nodding at Cheng Yangxi and them with a smile, and carrying the little girl away.
The little girl was almost crying before he put it down.
The little girl crawled towards Cheng Yangxi again.
The village chief is an old man with gray hair, all limbs of his body and limbs, and only one face is still a human face.
Seeing that Cheng Yangxi, Zhou Xu and Wangkong didn't eat, but just stared at the children outside, the village chief laughed a few times flatteringly, walked out tremblingly, and hurriedly waved at those children, like chasing ducks.
The children ran away.
However, as soon as the village chief returned to the house, they ran again.
The village chief is going out again.
Cheng Yangxi sighed and said, "Let them come in!"
The village chief glanced at Cheng Yangxi blankly, and after a while he came back to his senses, beckoned to the children and said, "Come here, the adults have something for you to do." ”
The children rushed over.
Cheng Yangxi broke the fruits in half and gave them to the children one by one.
These children's eyes lit up, but after receiving the fruit, they did not dare to gnaw it, but pinched it off little by little like crushed powder, put it in their mouths and chewed it, as if they were eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas.
The village chief hurriedly said: "My lord, I can't help it!"
Cheng Yangxi said with a smile while continuing to distribute: "There is no surplus food in the village? It's okay, I'll look around later to see if there is any prey to fight." ”
The village chief's cloudy eyes were filled with tears, and he wiped his eyes and said, "My lord is really possessed by the Netherworld Demon Lord, and he is the most kind-hearted adult that the old man has ever seen." It's just, my lord, stop there! there's no prey left around here, and if you divide it any further, you'll have nothing to eat later!"
Cheng Yangxi and Zhou Xu glanced at each other, and Zhou Xu was puzzled: "I remember that when I came on the road, I saw a lot of birds and beasts. ”
The village chief smiled bitterly: "Three adults, you are from another place, so you don't know our rules here. This is the area under the jurisdiction of Lord Situ Lei, the general under the command of the King of the Northern Realm, and Lord Situ Lei has already issued an order, except for dozens of smaller birds and beasts that can be hunted, the others must not be moved! Kill one, and use one life to compensate!"
Zhou Xu was taken aback and said, "What is the reason?"
The village chief got closer, glanced nervously outside, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he said: "Master Situ Lei is very good at eating! Very good at eating! Twelve hours a day, except for sleeping and practicing, he spends the rest of his time eating!"
Cheng Yangxi laughed and said, "So, what kind of giant is he or a beast of the wilderness?
The village chief said: "Lord Situ Lei is high, and we inferior people can't see his true face. It's just a rumor that Lord Situ Lei only eats the hearts of birds and beasts, ten meals a day, and each meal has to eat thirty catties!"
Cheng Yangxi and the three looked at each other.
Cheng Yangxi asked, "Since you are not allowed to eat wild beasts, why don't you plant some crops?"
Along the way, Cheng Yangxi didn't see any crops!
The village chief glanced at Cheng Yangxi and the three of them with a kind of "why not eat minced meat" gaze.
However, this gaze disappeared in a flash, and he hid it well.
The village chief explained: "The three adults did not know about production. Crops, that's something that only the royal family can enjoy!"
Cheng Yangxi frowned and said, "Why are even crops only eaten by the royal family?"
The village chief shook his head and said, "We don't know the specific reason for this. Lao Yu only knows that since he was born, he has only heard of crops, but has never seen them. ”
As if thinking of something, the village chief hurriedly said: "I heard that the life of crops is too expensive, and those who have cultivated the fire skill exercises must often use fire to shine." It seems to say that these crops are afraid of the gray weather of our Netherworld. ”
"Oh, by the way, actually, when I was young, I went to be a soldier, and I once happened to hear a few adults talk about it. As early as a thousand years ago, there were actually several crops in our Netherworld Hell, although the yield was very small. I don't know why, it's all gone, only in places controlled by the royal family. ”
Hearing what the village chief said, Cheng Yangxi's heart trembled.
People who practice fire-based skills shine with fire?
Cheng Yangxi looked at the gray sky outside, and seemed to have some clarity in his heart.
There are no stars!
No sunlight!
Crops basically need a lot of sunlight for photosynthesis!
Looking at the fruits in the hands of those children, this is probably a very small number of fruit trees that have survived the years of mutation.
Presumably, there are not many fruits.
And most crops cannot be mutated in such an environment, so they can only be eliminated.
Cheng Yangxi was very puzzled in his heart.
Why is there no star?
Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
Cheng Yangxi's eyes shrank slightly.
Could it be-
If this is the case, what is King Wu of Zhou?
"Yangxi, Yangxi?" At this moment, Cheng Yangxi suddenly came back to his senses, only to see Zhou Xu calling him.
Cheng Yangxi hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xu said: "There are no crops, but you can't eat the birds and beasts, you can only rely on some fruits and hunt some small beasts, how can people live? Shall we go find that Situ Lei? We can't let the others suffer with him just because he wants to eat alone, right?"
Looking at the children who treated half of the fruit as a delicacy of the mountains and seas, all of them were skinny, Zhou Xu said: "These children are growing up when they are physical, and if they continue like this, it is still a question of whether they can survive." ”
Cheng Yangxi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
As he spoke, he stood up.
The village chief was so frightened that his face was like earth, and said: "My lord, no! Lord Situ Lei's miraculous skills are world-famous, but he is a real superior martial king cultivator! Not to mention a human being, even if he is as powerful as a demon, he can be torn apart by him!"
"Superior Martial King?" Cheng Yangxi smiled dumbly, "It's okay, we'll come back when we go." Don't forget, I'm a superior person, and if we talk well, even if it doesn't make sense, he won't kill us. Village Chief, can you find someone who knows the way and take us there?"
When the village chief heard Cheng Yangxi say this, he seemed to think that this was the case.
After all, these three are high-ranking people! They are so old, they are also normal people!
Thinking of this, the village chief said: "Three adults, you wait, the old man will go and call Ah Fulai now!" Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "My Wife's Invincible Masterpiece Literature" for the first time to read for free.
