Roland followed a group of female ghosts, under the watchful eye of the guards, busy in the reckless wilderness, rummaging in the sand and gravel piles for salan grass. Salonium grass is almost the source of all kinds of food in the ghost gate, the only parts it can eat directly are flowers and fruits, the leaves can be rolled into cigarettes, made paper, the rhizomes can be ground into rough noodles and nests, and can also be used to make wine, if not used for food, its flexible stems can be used to weave hats, earthen baskets, and even make clothes, curtains, and armor after drying in the shade. The task given to the female ghosts by the superiors is one kilogram per person per day, which is almost the same as the weight of a raised ghost (the soul weighs only a few dozen grams when it first comes out of the shell, and as the yin qi gathers and strengthens, the average adult ghost will weigh 1-2 kilograms), which is also a difficult indicator to complete. But under high pressure, everyone can only break their legs and dig their hands, and strive to achieve the wishes of their superiors. There is a rule in the mine that if you fail to complete the task for three consecutive days, you will be punished for fasting for one day. Don't underestimate the fasting punishment, it's a vicious circle, because the ghost after fasting doesn't have the energy to do things at all, and the more energy there is, the more unable to run, and the more difficult it is to reach the goal. Until finally he died of exhaustion and starvation.

An unkempt little girl had just been released from her cage, and she had not finished her task for four days in a row, and she dragged her tired body and staggered in front of Roland, with only a pitiful five or six salinas in her little basket.

Roland followed the little girl, and the clever Roland found that this vegetation grew regularly in the process of picking grass. It loves the sun but loves water, so there will be no trace of it in the high slopes and the dark canyons with absolutely no light. Salan grass grows only in the rocky crevices of the sunny slopes of ancient river channels, and it only blooms when the dead moon brings light. Roland picks a relatively large number of salinoids, which can guarantee the completion of the task, and there is still a surplus when lucky.

Of course, there are not many people who know this secret. In the process of collection, many places have been divided, and the areas with high yield are occupied by big sisters, which is difficult for ordinary people to set foot in.

The little girl seemed to have entered someone else's territory, but this did not alarm her, and when she was delighted to spot a whole small bush of salina by the river in the distance, surprise overshadowed her judgment. She jumped and ran over, ignoring the bloody wounds on her hands, and frantically picked them. Soon, several female ghosts floated in, all of them were young, wearing costumes from various periods, each fat and fierce. The female ghosts didn't say a word, and pulling the little girl's hair was a violent beating, and when the little girl found out that she was trapped, not only did she not get an extra surprise, but even the results in the basket were taken away. This is a game, and the female ghosts relied on this small bush of salan grass to lure and rob many people.

This is perhaps the best lesson for her to become cold-blooded and violent. In a few years, even more cruel methods may be born in her hands.

The little girl began to cry in despair.

Roland has just congratulated himself on completing the target ahead of schedule, and it seems that he will be working overtime today. She decided to help the girl, at least slow down the rate at which her heart was getting colder.

"I'll give you some," Roland bent down, feeling stiff after a day of rest.

"It's useless," the little girl cried, "I'll count it in a while, and I won't be able to complete the target anyway."

"I'll testify to you that you were robbed," Roland comforted.

"They don't care about robbery or fraud, they just need grass in the basket" said the little girl "If I can't complete the task today, I'm going to die"

Roland's heart was shocked, and she simply switched the basket directly, "You take mine to the errand." ”

The little girl was startled, looked up and asked, "Sister, what should you do?" ”

"It's okay, I'm on the first day, and I won't be punished heavily according to the rules."

"Sister, don't you regret it?" The little girl asked

"What do you regret, you follow me tomorrow, I have a way" Roland wiped the tears from the little girl's face.

The little girl ran away happily, and she didn't know how to give a thousand thanks. Roland followed her with an empty basket, thinking about how to get through.

Sure enough, Roland was dragged out of the queue while counting the results, and she was first whipped several times in public, and then announced to be suspended from food supply for a day. Roland argued, "It's not like I didn't meet the standard for three days in a row, you shouldn't cut off my food!" Roland knew that without energy intake, it would be difficult for her to complete the task the next day.

The guard didn't want to argue with Roland, so he whipped Roland a few more times and arranged for someone to send her to a cage for safekeeping. The clever Roland chose to be quiet, and any way to consume energy at this moment is tantamount to suicide. She quietly closes her eyes and recuperates in order to achieve minimal energy consumption. The dead moon shone high in the sky, and she knew that after the moon disappeared in a moment, the wind would rise, and the transparent cage would carry her for three hours.

"Sister....." A small voice came, Roland opened his eyes slightly, the little girl she had saved, squatting in front of her with a piece of rough noodles and "You eat"

"Sister doesn't eat, sister doesn't hunger," Roland smiled.

"Nonsense," the little girl pouted, "where is there anyone here who is not hungry"

"You eat more, save energy" Roland grinned, she wanted to smile, but she couldn't, "How did you get in?" ”

"My dad came in first, and then he came back and brought me and my mom in," the little girl didn't think it was a dirty affair.

"Do you hate him, then?"

"Don't hate," said the little girl, "if they were still alive, even if they beat me and scolded me, I would be by their side." ”

"They? He's dead? ”

"My dad went out to fight a few months ago and died in battle. My mother couldn't pick grass and starved to death. ”

Roland was silent, the child's father should have died under the sword of Bao Ziqiang and others, or the high-power transmitter operated by Luo Xiurong. At that time, at the time of the triumph of the immortals, the child and her mother may be weeping silently and worrying about their future life.

"Child's thoughts, you can eat" A cold voice came from behind the child, Roland and the little girl looked there together, Kuroki looked at Roland with a smile, this smile was terrifying under the faint light of the dead moon.

The little girl sat on the ground with a frightened sound.

Kuroki ignored the little girl, and he said to Roland calmly, "Thank you for giving love here. ”

"You can do the same," Roland replied coldly, "why do you always have to play a bad guy"

"What is good and what is bad?" Kuroki smiled even with some kindness.

"Altruism is good, self-interest is the middle, and harm others is bad," Roland replied forcefully.

"Are you altruistic?" Kuroki asked

"At least it won't hurt anyone," Roland replied.

"Really? But you killed her father with your own hands" Kuroki's dark eyes suddenly lit up, this question was not intended to be a bolt from the blue, Kuroki knew or knew her identity earlier! Kuroki asked the little girl with some teasingness, "If she is the one who killed your father, will you give him a nest?" The little girl looked at Kuroki and Roland, stunned.

"You say, you killed her father, how much salan grass can you get back?" He asked Roland again.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Roland quickly concealed a flash of exposed panic with calm: "Are you doing a routine interrogation?" She said her father was killed in battle."

"A few months ago, more than a thousand ghost soldiers rushed out of the ghost gate to carry out a mission, but they were killed and returned." Kuroki doesn't seem to know that Baozi used the space-time compass to manipulate time to rewind once, and the ghost army was actually ravaged twice.

"Isn't that great, perverse actions will be rewarded."

"Roland" Kuroki didn't want to go around in circles anymore, "When Bao Ziqiang's soul was out of his body and his fugue was too empty, the ghost gate sent an army to snatch his body, I am the commander!" ”
