The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, after Lu Zheng washed up and exercised in the morning, he began to continue to fry and nourish the inner lung soup to practice the tempering of the organs.

However, when the medicine is decoctioned and taken, the effect of the unstrengthened medicine is not ideal, he can easily digest the medicinal power with a cup of tea, and as for the nourishment and growth of the internal organs, the feeling is also very slight, and it cannot be compared with the strengthened version at all.

Lu Zheng couldn't think about this, so he could only continue to repeat the process of decoction, taking, and cultivating and absorbing.

A serving of medicinal herbs can be repeatedly filtered and used up to three times without medicinal effect. And his three or four portions of medicinal herbs only lasted until the afternoon when they were about to run out.

Feeling that after the accumulation of more than ten bowls of heart-nourishing heart and lung soup in a row, it finally had some effect, Lu Zheng immediately packed up the bear skin and some bear meat that he had not had time to deal with before, and went to Neizhai Grass Market, ready to exchange with others.

It was too much time to collect all the medicinal materials on his own, and he now had an inexplicable sense of crisis and urgency in his heart, so he chose to exchange them directly to save time.

Wei Tiejun's death did not directly affect the order of the walled city, and after Lu Zheng came to the grass market, the exchange was also very smooth, and the basically intact bear skin was enough for him to exchange for two stones of grain.

Then, he carried the grain, as well as the bear meat he had brought, and went to the hunters and medicine pickers who lived in the inner village one by one in exchange for the herbs he needed.

In this walled city, grain and meat were the absolute hard currency, and it was not a problem to exchange them for ordinary herbs that most hunters and herb pickers had in stock. After turning around like this, it only took half an hour to directly exchange these two stones of grain and meat for six or seven heart-lung decoction medicinal materials, which were filled with medicine baskets.

The heart-lung soup made from these medicinal herbs was planned to be enough for his cultivation for two days, and Lu Zheng was satisfied with the medicine basket and returned to the outer village, ready to continue his cultivation.

However, as soon as he opened the locked courtyard door and walked into the courtyard, his expression suddenly changed.

Because he saw that the room that he had locked before going out was now open empty, as if someone had sneaked in while he was away!

, is this a thief?

Lu Zheng had a calm face, walked quickly to the room and glanced at it, and found that there were dusty footprints and blood stains on the ground at the door of the room and in the courtyard, and the rows of dried meat hanging on the beams were missing.

Dust footprints and blood stains are naturally small traps that he will lay before going out every time, just to prevent petty thieves in this outer village from breaking into the empty door.

Except for the room, the room where he slept was still locked, and no one broke in, as if the thieves had just come to steal food.

"Damn, where did the blinding thief come from, stole from my head......"

After quickly surveying the scene, Lu Zheng was a little annoyed.

He didn't expect to move to the outer village for more than a month to be quiet, but today he ran into such a situation.

Although there was not much meat stolen, it was impossible to just leave it at that, and he immediately followed the traces of the scene out of the yard, and then saw a little blood and lime dust footprints stretching out.

The person who broke into the house was obviously stabbed by the trap, Lu Zheng immediately followed these traces all the way, and in half an hour, he found a clay house with a collapsed wall and a dilapidated and leaky air everywhere.

A little bit of blood and dust extended into the room, Lu Zheng quietly walked to the door with a knife, and heard a faintly choked sound coming from the room:

"Dad, does it still hurt now?"

"Shhh...... It's okay, it's okay......"

"Daddy, you shouldn't have gone there, you're injured, you don't have any herbs at home, if the wound festers, you ......"

"Xiaoyu, it's okay, it's just a little injury, it's nothing, be happy, we can eat meat tonight......"

Listening to the faint sound inside, Lu Zheng's eyebrows moved, and he slammed the broken door open and walked in.

I saw that in the room, it was dim, and a man in ragged clothes, with a vegetable face, and only one arm, was sitting on the edge of the bed with a painful face, and the soles of his feet were pierced by the wood with several blood holes, and blood was dripping.

In front of him, there was a little girl about ten years old, skinny and barely a couple of flesh on her body, who was weakly treating her wounds.

And after Lu Zheng, who was carrying a knife, broke in, the old and the young were suddenly startled, and turned their heads to look at them with a look of horror:

"You, you ......"

Lu Zheng's face was expressionless, and he glanced at the two strings of bear meat on the table, and then looked at the one-armed man:

"Why, if you steal my things, don't you still recognize me? Do you know what you will do if you are caught stealing something in the walled city?"

According to the rules in the walled city, once the stealing of chickens and dogs is discovered, it will be directly punished with twenty lashes. If it was the guards themselves, it would be fine, but if it fell into the hands of Wei Tiejun, it was possible to be sucked to death.

Looking at Lu Zheng, who was strong and healthy, and his breath was full of oppression, the one-armed man obviously knew it, and he knelt down with a look of horror:

"Yes, I'm sorry Lu Ping, it was my fault that I stole your meat, I will return the meat to you, please don't notify the security team!"

Looking at the one-armed man's reaction, Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows:

"Why, don't you think about the consequences until now?"

"Please, my lord, there are a lot of them, and I have no choice but to ......"

The man supported himself with his only arm, kowtowed again and again, and pleaded:

"My arm was bitten off by a wild beast that broke into the field some time ago, and I lost the ability to work, and the owner of the village recycled the field, and the surplus food at home has long been eaten, and my daughter and I have not eaten anything decent for a long time!

I'm a cheap life, but I can still hold on. But, but my daughter is seriously ill and won't be able to last long without eating. We haven't touched this meat yet, so please let me go, and don't inform the guards...... I'm not afraid of whips, but I'm afraid that the injuries will be too serious to affect my movements, so I can't find food for my daughter anymore, she's still so young, and she's seriously ill, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm ......!"

At the same time, the skinny little girl on the bed also knelt on the bed with difficulty, kowtowed to Lu Zheng, and pleaded:

"Uncle, yes, I'm sorry...... It's my father who is not good, and he shouldn't have stolen your meat, but he is all for me, and we will give you back the meat, and I beg you, spare him......"

The one-armed father, the little girl who was so thin that she didn't look like her, the two kowtowed like pounding garlic, and in this scene, Lu Zheng was suddenly silent.

This world is evil and terrifying, ordinary people have a hard time surviving, these two crippled and frail, sick father and daughter are one of the living beings in this collapsed world, they don't know martial arts, they don't have the ability to work, and they can only wait for death after being taken back by the owner of the village.

And people like this who are struggling to survive and wait for death are not the only two of them in this walled city.

"Alright, don't kneel around, get up!"

Inexplicably depressed in his heart, Lu Zheng wrinkled his brows and whispered:

"I can let you go, but if anyone kowtows again, I'll immediately inform the guards, understand?"

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, the father and daughter in a miserable situation trembled with excitement when they heard the fairy sound, and wanted to kowtow but didn't dare, but they just said again and again:

"Yes, yes, understood!"

"Thank you, thank you, uncle......"

Lu Zheng looked at the father and daughter who seemed to be the rest of their lives, and said slowly: "This meat is what I gave to you." But remember, only this once, not the next example, otherwise ......"

A warning to the father and daughter, he ignored the stolen skewers of meat and turned to leave.

The world is already so cruel, he is not the savior of the Virgin, and he has no ability to save them, all he can do is raise his hand and leave them a glimmer of life.

"Uncle, uncle, please wait a minute......!"

However, Lu Zheng had just stepped out of the house, and the father and daughter who were stunned reacted, and the skinny little girl stopped him for the first time.

Lu Zheng turned around and stared at the skinny little girl on the bed: "What's the matter?"

"Thank you, thank you uncle for being willing to let my father ......"

The girl, who seemed to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind, knelt weakly on the bed, stretched out a skinny arm to Lu Zheng, put a bony hairpin in the palm of her hand, and said with difficulty:

"My mother taught me before that you must be grateful. We don't have anything of value in our house, this is what my father made for me when his arm was intact, my favorite hairpin, it should be our apology and apology, please, please uncle must accept it......"

The one-armed man on the side suddenly showed a look of shame on his face, while Lu Zheng looked at the weak but persistent girl and was silent.

What is struggling in the world is not only suffering sentient beings, but also seems to have a pure heart.

Touched by his heart, Lu Zheng stepped forward, reached out and took the hairpin in the girl's palm, and said:

"Okay, since it's ......"

But at the same time, a message suddenly flashed through his heart:

【Evil Bone (Fragment)】

Quality: Normal (White)

Description: The bone fragments left after the demons have been incinerated, and there is a trace of the power of the ghosts and gods left in them, which can affect the living organisms they come into contact with.

Lu Zheng's eyes suddenly froze.

Demon..... It should refer to those monsters who have been possessed by evil and completely alienated?

This hairpin is actually made of demonic bones?

The bones of the demon after being incinerated can even be recognized by the panel?

didn't expect to get such information, Lu Zheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the one-armed man:

"Where did you get the material for this hairpin?"

The strange reaction to Lu Zheng was unknown, so the one-armed man recalled it and said cautiously: "Yes...... It was picked up by chance in the field next to the wasteland in the northwest outside the walled city, which I used to pick up when I was planting. ”

Wasteland to the northwest outside the walled city...... Isn't that where the Night Watch buries and disposes of the bones of evil spirits?

With a flash of inspiration piercing his mind, Lu Zheng realized that he had overlooked a crucial matter.

That is, although he had experienced the two incidents of evil coming to Ah Qing's sister-in-law and the blood flying dragon, because of his scruples about pollution, he had never touched their bones with his own hands, and he didn't expect that in addition to special products such as the evil spirit, the bones of evil demons could also be recognized and evaluated by the enhanced panel;

Then he suddenly realized that since the mutilated evil bone fragment in his hand could be judged by the panel to be of ordinary level, then what level could Ah Qing's sister-in-law, and the complete bones of the evil xenomorph blood flying dragon after being incinerated?

In that wasteland to the northwest, how many demon bones have been buried over the years?

In an instant, Lu Zheng's eyes sparkled, as if he saw a large number of enhanced essences beckoning to him!
