Luofeng City, one of the top ten barren towns in Yingzhou, has six towns of different sizes nearby, but they all have one thing in common, that is, poverty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Everywhere there were poor and hungry people lying on the ground digging for something, and often they could dig up one or two things that were not slipping, and this was enough to make them ecstatic, and they did not know what to say, and put their backhands in the basket behind them.

More of them were frail old men with vegetable-looking faces, leaning against the wall, closing their eyes, and even breathing much slower, if it weren't for fanning their arms from time to time to drive away flies, Wu Di would not even doubt that they were dead.

The land here is dark brown, with little vegetation within a 10-mile radius, except for a few tenacious grasses struggling to survive.

Just like the people who survive here.

The city gate was wide open, and the dilapidated city gate was actually made of wood, without any soldiers guarding it, so it was opened at will, and there were not many people in the city, only a few shops were still open, but the business was bleak, and it was estimated that it was unsustainable.

"That's too bad, isn't it...... Is this looting?"

Wu Di, a richly dressed person, walked here looking out of place, like an outlier, and the people around him looked at him very strangely, and there seemed to be curiosity in his eyes, and there was also a hint of longing and fear.

In short, Wu Di had never seen such a complicated look, just a glance made him feel mixed in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.

A tattered and dirty little boy was holding a rotten apple in his hand, but he was reluctant to throw it away, so he held it in his hand, but it was such a rotten apple, and someone still grabbed it.

I saw a tattered old man run over and snatch the apple from the boy's hand, stuff it into his mouth, and then sit on the ground and stare at the boy fiercely.

Wu Di was speechless for a while, he stared at all this blankly, obviously everything that happened here had far exceeded his imagination.

The boy was stunned, his brain was blank, and his eyes were already full of tears, but he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, just holding back the tears, and then he sighed slightly, turned around and planned to leave.

But before he could take two steps, his mind became dizzy, and his face suddenly turned white, and he fell down, and just as his eyes were completely dark, a pair of big hands dragged him back.

"Brother, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Di really couldn't stand it anymore, and he saw his shadow from the boy's body.

"I ...... I'm fine. ”

As he spoke, there was a sudden loud cooing sound in the boy's stomach, and he clutched his stomach in pain.

Wu Di suddenly understood, how could he ask such a question?

"Brother, do you know where to sell food here?"

The boy raised his eyelids with difficulty, pointed in the direction ahead, and swallowed: "There, there is a place to sell steamed buns, but ...... I don't have any money, and my mom doesn't have any money!"

Wu Di immediately picked up the boy and ran in the direction he pointed.

Sure enough, at the end of the street, there was a small steamed bun shop, and the owner was lying on the table a little lazily, and there were several baskets of cold steamed buns on the table that were obviously unsellable.

"Boss, buy buns!"

Wu Di walked over and knocked on the table hard, and the boss was suddenly startled and saw Wu Di's young face.

"Buy buns!" Wu Di knocked on the table again, and the boss reacted, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Okay, how many do you want?"

"Five first!"

Wu Di found a place to put the boy down, "Give him food first." ”

The boss immediately grabbed five buns and put them in front of the boy, the boy's eyes straightened when he saw the buns, and he grabbed one and immediately devoured them, and soon a big bun was in his stomach.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. Wu Di poured a bowl of water and handed it to the boy.

Wu Di happened to be a little hungry, and when he picked up a bun and was about to stuff it into his mouth, he suddenly frowned, the bun was cold, he put it under his nose and smelled it, and there was a slight rancid smell on it.

"Boss, this is yesterday's bun, right?"

Wu Di smiled, just such a bun, but the boy seemed to be eating the delicious food in the world, looking satisfied, what happened to the people here?

The boss's face suddenly turned red, "Guest officer, you are an outsider and don't know the situation very well, we are really in trouble here." ”

Wu Di nodded, took a bite of the bun gently, and a taste that was even more unpalatable than he imagined instantly hit his taste buds, he has also eaten the school canteen for a while now, and this appetite has gradually been raised, and now it is really a little difficult to swallow to eat such a bun again.

"Actually...... This bun is big the day before yesterday. ”

Wu Di vomited instantly when he heard the boss's words, his face turned black, Nima's steamed buns were enough yesterday, you gave me the whole day before yesterday, can you still eat this?

When Wu Di was about to throw away the bun in his hand, the boy stared directly at the bun in his hand, "Big brother, can you give it to me if you don't eat it?"

Wu Di sighed and handed the bun over, and the boy said thank you and then gobbled it up.

Poor child.

Wu Di looked at the boss with a smile: "Boss, if you don't mind, can you make another basket?"

The boss was stunned, then nodded, "Of course, of course, you are an outsider, and you are not used to eating our things here...... Hahaha. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll do it. ”

Wu Di sat down and looked at the boy who was still eating in front of him.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Nankai, thank you big brother, big brother, can I pack the rest of the buns?"

The boy had a pair of large bright eyes that did not match his face, like a pair of dazzling gems, and he was very beautiful.

"Of course you can, there will be more fresh ones later, are you going to take them home to your mother?" Wu Di smiled, this boy's surname is Nan, which is really a rare surname.

"Well, my mom, she hasn't eaten in days. A look of sadness flashed on Nankai's face, but soon he smiled again, obviously not wanting to affect Wu Di's mood.

"Can you tell my brother why this place has become like this? Well, I mean, why has this place become so dilapidated?" Wu Di looked at everything around him, and no one came out to hang out on the huge street, it was a ghost town.

When Nankai heard this, his face immediately showed fear, "Big brother, you better get out of here quickly, here, there are ogres here." ”

"Ogre?" Wu Di opened his mouth wide, what is this?

Nankai nodded, "That's right, the people in the city say so, ogres, but they can eat people......"

"Then why don't you leave here?" Wu Di was very strange, since the people here couldn't live anymore, why didn't they go and find another way to make a living?

"I ...... I don't dare!" the fear on Nankai's face was even stronger, "I heard from the people in the city that those who went out were all dead, and they died in the big valley a few hundred meters away...... I don't dare, big brother. ”

Wu Di touched his chin thoughtfully.
