816. Simple pleasures
"This ......"
"What's next??"
All the herdsmen looked at each other, they didn't expect things to develop so strangely, and the high Earl of Thorns would actually compromise with Gu Feng??
You know, this village has been in a state of exploitation for the last two years.
People have long been accustomed to being treated as animals, and for two years there will be a monthly sacrifice and every month people will contribute their blood.
"Lord Thorn is gone."
"What is the identity of this little brother, and what is the divine war he just said??"
There were more things in people's eyes when they looked at Gu Feng, some were puzzled and incomprehensible, some were admired and envious, and some were worried......
Betsy's eyes looking at Gu Feng were even more complicated.
She was both happy and had an indescribable inferiority complex in her heart.
Naturally, Gu Feng saved their family's life, and the entire village was exempted from the ritual of this moon sacrifice, which was undoubtedly a great joy for Betsy.
And with that comes a strong sense of inferiority.
And it turns out that this man is so powerful that even the Earl of Thorns has to give in because of him, and he still wants to be his woman?
Betsy and Gu Feng are people from two worlds, and at this moment Betsy finally understands why she always feels as if he is in the distant sky when she sees Gu Feng.
Even in the warm quilt at night, even if the slender fingers held Gu Feng's arm, Betsy still felt that Gu Feng was far away from her, as if she could only look up.
"You kid!!"
"It turns out that you are a big man, and you also paid a private visit to our house, which made me so miserable!"
"But thank you so much, without you our family would die, it seems that my Cerf luck is still good, I really picked up the baby."
The enthusiastic uncle is also a straight gut, although his impression of Gu Feng has changed, he still warmly walked over and hugged Gu Feng, as if he was still his own family.
Gu Feng's heart warmed slightly.
He really doesn't want the enthusiastic uncle to be grateful to him, although the past few days are short, but Gu Feng's heart has never been quieter, herding sheep in this ordinary life, taking a walk, and thinking about what he has done in the last two years.
Although his strength had not improved substantially, Gu Feng felt that his consciousness was more simple.
In addition, the mother and daughter who had just been almost killed also walked over, they knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed to Gu Feng: "Thank you, thank you really, very much, thank you......"
They are the real despair.
Their husbands died, and when the moon festival came, a mother and daughter could not complete the task of contributing blood, and in addition to helplessness and pain, there was only deep fear and despair left in their hearts.
Today, no one else would be able to save this crumbling and broken family.
However, Gu Feng saved them, and in the future, he was exempted from the cost of contributing blood, for this mother and daughter, Gu Feng can be regarded as a great benefactor who saves lives.
The enthusiastic uncle didn't think about it, and hurriedly helped them up.
"Alright, alright, don't kneel!!"
"I understand this kid Gu Feng, he doesn't want your return, and he doesn't want you to kowtow to him." Although the enthusiastic uncle had been in contact with Gu Feng for a short time, in just the past few days, he saw the little flickering light in Gu Feng's heart.
Kindness?
In this last days, there is no goodness.
Gu Feng could not be called kind, in the eyes of his enemies, he was a demon in hell, the most terrifying and fearful existence that could not be provoked, the methods were cruel and ruthless, and even the power he possessed was so dark.
But even if Gu Feng is like this, there is still a trace of the bottom line of being a "human being" in his heart, maybe that is his conscience, right?
If you don't experience the cold wind, you don't know the value of warmth.
It is impossible to know the warmth of the dawn without experiencing darkness.
In the last days, there are those good old people who have become mad, and they do not hesitate to kill their relatives and their brothers for some food.
There is also a demon like Gu Feng in the last days, although he is a real demon king, but the occasional trace of warmth is really sincere, pure without any interests.
Maybe this flash was seen by an enthusiastic uncle, right?
He didn't know what Gu Feng used to be like, but it was the pure kindness at home in the past two days that made the enthusiastic uncle feel that Gu Feng was not a bad person.
"Did you say, Gu Feng?"
"We're going to have a good celebration tonight, I'm going to slaughter two big black sheep, for the first time in two years, we don't have a moon sacrifice, it's a memorable day!!"
The enthusiastic uncle laughed, Gu Feng shook his head helplessly, he really didn't expect that he was seen as a good man here?
The other herdsmen also gathered around.
They almost understood what was in front of them, although they didn't know what Gu Feng had done, let alone his identity and ability, but one thing was clear.
That's Gu Feng who saved everyone!!
"I'm going to slaughter a sheep too!!"
"The sake I made with mutant plants last time, we can take it out and drink it this time, let's celebrate!!"
"Hahahaha, isn't your wine the root of your life, why are you willing to take it out?"
The herdsmen were jubilant, and they could be so happy that a moon sacrifice was exempted from contributing blood, and sometimes human beings were so easily satisfied.
People are as happy as they are in pain.
Exploited and oppressed, and raised as animals, everyone's heart was actually painful, but this time, as if the revolution had succeeded, they rejoiced and laughed, as if they had gone through a war and won again.
This may be the world of ordinary people.
A smile appeared on Gu Feng's face for the first time in a long time, but he shook his head helplessly.
Maybe he was also silent in this joyful atmosphere, but his heart was full of helplessness, because Gu Feng couldn't change anything.
"Brother Gu Feng!"
"Come on, everyone is going to have a bonfire dance for you!!"
"The village hasn't been so happy in a long time, come on, I don't think I've danced in a long time!" Betsy came to Gu Feng's side at some point, she took Gu Feng's hand, her face was full of youth.
Although she knew that she and Gu Feng were already two types of people, her feelings for Gu Feng were indeed sincere, and at this time, there was a strong expectation written on her face full of enthusiasm and smiles, but there was a trace of sadness in her daughter's eyes.
"Okay."
"Bonfire ball, the fighting nation is really enthusiastic."
"Let's go dance, but I don't dance much, and I need you to teach me."
Gu Feng did not refuse, but touched Betsy's head.
Then let this happiness last a little longer.
