The two people who had washed a little in the abandoned village changed into clean clothes, said goodbye to the trouble of insects, and chatted comfortably in the courtyard of a house. There are many radish vegetables in the small vegetable patch in the yard, and they only eat grain and meat along the way, and they have never touched a bite of vegetables.

Traceska told her about her, and Zhou Shu felt a cool breeze behind her after listening to the miserable situation of the men who had done things to her in the tavern. It's just that this guy once, and a group of people lost their lives for her. Zhou Shuxin said that he had done that, did he have to work hard for her once?

Zhou Shu is not the kind of character who likes to work hard casually, and his judgment in the face of difficulties is always inclined to ensure that everyone is safe.

It's been more than a month since the trip to the country of Tonokoku, and Zhou Shu counts the days, and it's time to go home. Shuncheng was not far ahead, and he needed to let the three girls wait for him in the city for two days, so that he could go home and have a look.

"Go home and see...... What are you looking at? Mom...... Lv Xiaoshuang...... Yu Feiniao is not in the country...... Who else am I going to see?"

Zhou Shu rolled up his sleeves and scratched his arms, always feeling as if he still needed to think about someone in his hometown, but he couldn't remember her name, which made him very distressed.

In the village, Ouna and Quesi find what they are looking for. There were wells, pots and stoves, and charcoal that had been discarded aside. Two women, ww⊥w. The woman was already busy boiling water, the female swordsman carried the pot, and Her Royal Highness the princess carried the charcoal in a basket, and the two of them made it black.

Zhou Shu and Triska appeared in front of the two cleanly, making the dirty two puzzled. Zhou Shu said that he found a tank full of water and clothes, and solved the problem of personal hygiene first. This answer made Ou Na and Quexi quite dissatisfied, and left the rest of the work to him.

After a day in the village, the group of four finally regained their spirits and embarked on the journey again. During this whole day, Zhou Shu experienced the hard work of the boiler room master. He boiled water all day for the three women to splurge. The good news was that he had more or less seen some of His Highness Finsi's bodies, which he had accidentally skimmed, after all, the three of them had been washing all day.

Two days after restarting the road, a group of four people arrived in Shuncheng. Zhou Shu personally accompanied Ou Na to exchange money this time. Then he gave her the money, and told the three girls to stay in the city for two days, and to have some personal affairs to do.

Shuncheng is also a commercial city that is in a state of decay. The city is facing a very serious problem of population loss, and when seafarers and seafarers disappear, the city does not have as many jobs for its residents. In order to survive, more people are moving into small towns and villages.

If a big city loses its attractiveness and cannot attract outsiders, it is destined to become ordinary. Zhou Shu had heard about Ordos. A typical resource-based city. When the price of resources falls and the demand for the environment falls, cities fall silent from the bubble-like boom.

The three women were very puzzled by Zhou Shu's so-called 'private affairs'. They couldn't figure out what private affairs such a foreigner would have in this strange city. Ou Na thinks that Mr. Missionary has traveled too long with the three women on her side, and has been aroused too much anger, and wants to spend a few days in a brothel when he arrives in the city.

Zhou Shu said that he would leave, and he had already left. The three girls were given living expenses and asked to dispose of the poor horses. Swap for two stronger and healthier horses. He had to admit that he had been cheated on buying a horse before.

Three girls while eating. Ou Na told her guess. Triska frowned, feeling that Zhou Shu was too foreign, why didn't she solve it by herself? Wasn't he quite satisfied with that previous time? ”

Quexi is in such an environment. I suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and I always felt that sooner or later I would have to follow in the footsteps of these two sisters. Originally, she already liked Zhou Shu very much, but now that the chastity crisis appeared, she felt that she seemed to should keep her distance from that guy.

Traceska is about a month away from giving birth, although it is completely unrecognizable from the appearance. It's a pity that Shuncheng is not a good place to live. At least Ouna thought so, she thought it was a miserable place, with young men without jobs sitting on the side of the street exuding a dangerous smell.

Sparrow thinks that the city should not be a big problem after this difficulty, but admits that it is not suitable for Traceska to stay. According to the map, there are still some small towns in front of Shuncheng, several of which are based on agriculture, and belong to the kind of towns that are self-sufficient and have no production to trade, so they should not be affected too much by shipping. She felt that Triska should be put down in that place. As for how she should live in the town, it depends on how generous Zhou Shu can be.

"We really want to see our baby born, but we have our own journey to go. At the dinner table, she told her about the itinerary for the coming week, which was a reminder to her in advance, and everyone would soon be separated.

She went to the city administration office to-day, and took out her paper to inquire about the king's whereabouts. As in other cities, it takes a few days to go through the process before you get an answer. The king's itinerary is confidential, and it cannot be told lightly to others.

Zhou Shu flew in the sky on a horse for four hours and returned to the capital of the West Country. It takes two or three months to walk, and it takes 240 minutes to fly. The current state of the Western Capital is very bad, and there is a hurricane, and if it weren't for these annoying winds, it would have been faster to rush back.

Zhou Shu, who had just come to the Western Capital and had been to the capital once, had a feeling of returning to his motherland. At this time, the western capital was full of wind and sand, and there were no people on the streets. Even then, they made themselves look like children in Halloween ghost costumes, wrapped in cloth from head to toe.

On the way this way, the scenery is already this virtue. The lonely pedestrians and closed windows and doors on the city streets add a little bit of excitement to this hurricane climate, with a bit of post-apocalyptic vibe.

Zhou Shu rode his horse and flew in the sky, preparing to land in the palace and say hello to Tiddle and Turrell. As soon as he flew over the palace, his good eyes noticed something strange.

The square in front of the palace was now built on a high platform, making it look like a Mayan pyramid. Wooden. The platform creaked in the wind, as if it was about to break. Under the platform, there were some soldiers wearing heavy armor and especially windproof who were not afraid of death, and there were also some civilians in the city, whose clothes were whistling in the wind.

"What is this going on?" Zhou Shu was really worried that the platform would collapse and kill these people. The collapse of the gate of the palace is not a good thing.

Riding a horse in the wind with a difficult approach. The situation on the stage gradually became apparent. In the wind and sand, there is a man tied to a high platform, and the same as Jesus is suffering. Zhou Shu slapped himself on the forehead to show helplessness after seeing the man's face, it was Tiddlelem, she was still wearing a court dress, her hair was blown away, and her long hair covered her face like a rag pocket. The crown, which symbolized the authority of the royal family, fell to the side, stuck in the railing and did not blow down under the platform.

He didn't know what this guy was doing, tying himself up so high on this windy day. He had never heard of such a high-end taste.

Seeing that Tiddlelem was blown by the wind and his whole person was about to dry out, Zhou Shu found Dinglan and pinched it in his hand to form a windproof wall on the ground around the palace, completely protecting Tiddlelem. Then he flew off the stage, let go of the queen and put the crown away, and jumped straight from it.

The soldiers hid in their armor, but stood easily in the wind. Zhou Shu jumped up to these people and asked what the hell was going on. Tiddlelime had already fainted, and several slaps on the face did not respond.

This group of armored soldiers saw the appearance of the great god Zhou Shu. Seeing the queen fainting again, and seeing the great god let go of the queen, I really didn't know where to start the shock.

When the civilians under the stage saw Zhou Shu's practice, they first raised some protests, questioning why the people flying down from the sky wanted to let the queen go. When they find out that this man is a hero. The protest disappeared, and he changed his tone and said that the queen's punishment was enough, and it was better to send the only remaining royal family to medical treatment as soon as possible.

Listening to these people's discussions, Zhou Shu seemed to understand some eyebrows. The soldiers saw that the few civilians seemed to approve of the queen's release. Without saying anything, he was resolutely escorted back to the palace.

Tiddlelem was punishing himself again.

Back in the palace, he saw Turrell who was sheltering from the wind in the palace, and Zhou Shu heard about the situation from her.

Recently, it has been the season of hurricanes in the country of Nishi, and the disaster relief and wind prevention work has been going on in previous years, but this year there is a new king, and Tiddlelem, who has no experience in this area, has done a little badly, and the damage to the disaster is worse than in previous years, and the civilians are complaining.

Civilians in the city questioned the Queen's abilities, as she devoted more of her relief efforts to the village level. Hurricanes are a big danger for densely built places, and it is clear that the queen did not understand this, and the forces were evenly distributed according to the region, mainly to achieve a 'fairness'.

The results were very bad, the city was very affected by the hurricane, and in previous years there were enough craftsmen who were sent by the army to reinforce the roofs and windows of the people, but now there are not enough people to reinforce them, and uncovered houses are everywhere.

Tiddlelem hears the people questioning him and learns of the mistake of his actions, so he punishes himself and denounces the world.

After listening to Turrell's statement, Zhou Shu thought of such a thing as 'guilty edict'. In ancient times, when encountering any catastrophes, the people felt that the emperor had done something bad to punish God, and the emperor would issue an edict to appease the people.

Tiddlelem is a fool and solid, and if he says that punishment is really punishment, he has been tied to a high place and let the wind and rain blow for two days, and he seems to have to hang from 9 to 5 for eight hours a day like going to work, and his skin has deteriorated. The wind was blowing very evil today, and I don't know if Tiddlelime didn't eat enough before going to work, but he fainted on it anyway, and no one noticed it.

Zhou Shu didn't know what to say about this neurosis, and Geng Zhi should also have a limit, so he had never seen anything like this. He remembered what had happened before, because of a little thing, she also engaged in this kind of self-punishment.

While talking to Turrell, Tiddle woke up. After all, she is a queen who eats and drinks well, and her body is still very good, and she will not be so prone to any problems.

"Your Excellency Zhou Shu, the queen is looking for you. ”

Master Zhou said 'oh' and went to the room where the little girl was resting.

The doctor had just been chased away, but the old man hadn't done anything. The eagle took a piece of candy and shoved it down the queen's throat, and she woke up. Now there is no one in front of the hospital bed, and there are only Zhou Shu and Tiddle in the room. Zhou Shu also put away the etiquette for the queen and sat on her pillow helplessly.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"It's okay......" Tiddlelime said weakly, "but I have a little headache, and my skin hurts very much before eating sugar." ”

"I didn't ask you this. I'm talking about your head, how you think about it. You're a few hours before you get off work, and you're not going to die if I don't come?"

Tiddlelem's expression darkened for a moment, looking like a schoolboy being trained. But soon she became tough again, and complained to Zhou Shu in a tone that the wicked person sued first, "Why do you want to let me down, don't I lose my trust in the people! I promised to be punished for three days!"

"Wind punishment?" Zhou Shu was helpless, "There are really a lot of flowers and intestines on your side." Then what do you say, I'll tie you up again, will you go?"

Tiddlelime nodded firmly. "Send me back soon!!"

"Okay. ”

Zhou Shu knows this queen's temperament very well, if she is pressed on the hospital bed today and let her rest, it is estimated that she will lose more than ten pounds in a few days, and she will not weigh much now. Anyway, now that I'm back, I can accompany her on the stage, and the sugar thing is like a tonic to ensure that she won't get hurt, so it's not a big deal to go back and continue to blow the wind.

So, Master Zhou walked out of the room with the queen in his arms. Under the gaze and astonishment of a large number of strange but certainly aristocratic lords at the door, he sent the queen to the stage, and gently fixed her with a belt with his own hands. When doing this kind of thing. Zhou Shu always felt that he was playing something heavy, in order to prevent the skinny little queen from being blown away, there were really a lot of belts. Tiddleleme's chest is restrained to a fairly good volume, and it is usually not visible at all.

Buckling the belt, Zhou Shu tied Tie Tie Lime's hair and coiled it, and then sat down on the stage. Pull out the food and eat it. He didn't get a drop of water all day, which was particularly miserable.

The return of Tiddlelem attracted more civilians, and a large group of people who were not good at home listening to the crunch of the house and shivering in the wind all ran to the open square to watch the excitement.

I heard that the heroic earl flew to save the queen, and the common people who were used to making up the secrets of the royal family with their brains were also full of interest to see the situation. What they saw was the Earl flying up the queen.

It's impossible to fly in this weather with flames. can only ride a horse, and if you really want to step on the flames to fly, even Zhou Shu will break her neck. So what the commoners saw was a man holding Her Majesty the Queen, riding a golden horse and flying up to the high platform, and then he didn't come down.

"What are the men and women doing on the stage? ”

"What a man and a woman, and a horse. ”

"What are you two trying to express?"

"Oh my God, what's the matter! You guys are so obscene and careful to get caught. ”

Zhou Shu listened to the discussion under the stage, because the gang was talking loudly in the wind. Looking at Tiddleleme, who was tied up by a belt and couldn't move, Zhou Shu stood up and leaned against her, ready to chat with her for the remaining hours. As soon as he leaned over, he saw Tiddlerum's face turn red like magic, which was very magical.

"What about you, your face scares me. ”

Zhou Shu either didn't know that people liked him, or he didn't expect her reaction to be so violent, and he just walked to her.

The little queen blushed and held on strongly, "It's nothing, you go down, I can do it alone." ”

"I know you can do it, I can do it too, it's rare for me to come back, I have to hurry up and report back to you. ”

"Then you go to the house and eat first, it's easy to have a stomachache when you eat in the wind. ”

Zhou Shu took out a ham sausage from the space props, tore open the package, and chewed there with the sand in the wind. "It's okay, I'm not that sissy. Would you like to eat some?" he brought the columnar ham sausage to the Queen's mouth, and Tiddlelime was now in a state of great difficulty in turning her head, and she couldn't even see what was poked in front of her, and the oncoming wind blew her eyes so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. Out of trust in Zhou Shu, she took a hard bite, and then munched on it very without the queen's physique.

"Do you want milk?" Zhou Shu took out another carton and put the straw in front of her, and the queen took a few sips obediently.

The wind more or less prevented her from eating, and the milk spilled more or less wet the Queen's cheeks. Zhou Shu wiped it with his fingers.

After more contact with all kinds of women, Zhou Shu became a little unavoidable, and was very accustomed to touching the faces of other girls. The queen's even more red, and Zhou Shu was also an afterthought, and he removed his fingers in embarrassment.

When you're done eating, put away the food. Zhou Shu sighed and stood in front of Tiddlelem to help her block the wind with his body, ready to start communicating with her.

"Let's talk about this time, just talk slowly, time is there. ”

The Queen, who couldn't move, blushed and nodded. Waiting for the man in front of him to pick up the topic.

Tiddle was tied up on the stage, and the reason why there was no one to accompany her was simply because she couldn't move, no matter who accompanied her. It is possible to do something insulting to the royal family on the stage, so she stays on it alone. That said, there are a large number of guardian spirits in the vicinity to prevent any accidents. If the platform does collapse, with the help of the Patronus, there will be no casualties.

"I was on a business trip to Higashinokuni this time, and I saw something very interesting. Let me tell you about it. ”

Tiddlelime frowned. "Didn't you say you wanted to talk about me? I did a terrible job in dealing with the hurricane disaster this time, and I had to be punished. You don't need to persuade me. ”

"I didn't advise you. It's just a casual chat. I probably know how you failed, you distributed the limited manpower equally, and then the city dwellers complained that the prevention and control efforts were not as good as in previous years. Isn't that right?"

"Then it's not a few ......"

"Did you scold you a lot?"

Tiddlelime nodded, looking very struggling.

Zhou Shu smiled and asked a very straightforward question. "Civilians at the village and town level have received more help than in previous years. Did they scold you?"

"I don't know. Tiddlelem's answer was equally blunt, "I can't hear them, I'll have people visit them after the disaster, but the people who come back from the survey will only say good things." ”

Zhou Shu pouted. put aside the topic and didn't talk about it, and talked about what happened to me for a while.

"I met a girl named Triska while traveling. There is also a disaster on the side of the East Country, it is a plague, and the entire village of Tryska has been destroyed. Do you know how it was destroyed?"

Zhou Shu likes the guy Tiddle very much, he likes all beautiful and straightforward girls, this is his flaw and his personality. Triska was so hurt by the policy of the king of the East Country that when she saw the man stand up, she had to go over to help, which was definitely a mental illness in Zhou Shu's opinion. Although he benefited from it for once, it was very comfortable.

In the face of disaster, the unmet king of the East Country threw all his disaster prevention forces into the city. Not only does it ignore the villages and towns, but it also deprives the villages and towns of disaster relief resources and then abandons them altogether.

Zhou Shu told Traceska's story a little bit, and then asked a question.

"What do you think is the merit of the approach of the King of the East Country?"

Tiddle Lime frowned, not quite believing that what Zhou Shu said was true.

"Plunder the medicinal herbs in the village to relieve the city, and then leave the sick civilians of the entire village to fend for themselves?"

"Not to fend for themselves, but to kill them. ”

"How can this happen? You're coaxing me again, it's impossible. It's too much of an exaggeration to make such a thing even if it's the eastern country. ”

Zhou Shu pinched Tiddlelem's palm, urging her to answer her question head-on.

"How can that be beneficial!"

Zhou Shu pouted, "Of course there is, the good thing is that he won't be scolded." No one knew about the king's crimes, and even those who slipped through the net would become wanted, and among the good commoners, there were only praises for the king. If he hadn't done this, maybe the plague wouldn't have been prosecuted so quickly, but there would have been more people who would have survived, and there would have been a lot of scolding for him. You are also the king, and I just tell you what happened to me, and if you like to blow the wind here, I will not say anything. ”

His meaning was very clear, but he was suing Sù Tiddlelem that it was no big deal to be scolded. If a king's purpose is not to be reviled and praised, then the king of the East Country is successful, and Tiddlelime clearly does not have this as an end.

Zhou Shu didn't mean to educate on the high platform, although he was on the high platform now, which made him feel a little like telling a bad joke. The king of the East Country simply made a multiple-choice question, and chose an option that was better for himself. He abandoned the village and kept the city. Otherwise, cities and villages will suffer.

Rather than both of them being damaged, it is better to break one and keep one, this is the king's thinking.

Tiddlelem was pinched by Zhou Shu's palm, his head didn't know how to think too well, and he lowered his head to expose the tips of his red ears. Zhou Shu used his tall figure to help block the wind, but he was not boring, and the little queen who was shy under the shackles of the belt was very ...... in all respects eye candy
