A strange group of demonstrators followed Ah Shi to the village.

All the villagers were wary of these strange visitors at first.

But soon, they let down their vigilance for a while.

Because these monks not only did not ask them for anything, but gave them the most scarce food and medicinal herbs.

Although it is not much, the food distributed to everyone can make them live for a longer period of time.

And to live, there are often times when there is hope.

After letting their guard down for a while, the villagers began to try to learn more about these strange monks, their never-before-heard teachings and beliefs.

The so-called 'Maitreya was born, King Ming was born...'

These villagers may not be very simple, or rather, it is more or less problematic that they can survive in this deformed and perverted world.

When they first heard about the White Lotus Sect's doctrine that people should be good, most of them didn't have the idea of sneering at it, or they might think that these monks were really stupid or something, but it didn't hinder them, and they relaxed their vigilance even more.

People always worship goodness, even if they are evil, they also hope that the people around them are good. Because that means you're less likely to be hurt.

The monks asked the villagers to borrow a few houses for a short rest, and the villagers readily agreed, as there were many free rooms.

Ah Shi and his younger brother stood curiously at the door of the house, watching what the monks were preparing in the next room.

Then she saw them set up a campfire and an iron pot, and they put some brown rice, a bunch of wild vegetables, and a small amount of jerky into the iron pot...

As the hot water boils, the aroma of the food being cooked begins to overflow and then attracts more eyes.

Ah Shi stared straight at the boiling iron pot, as if forgetting anything else, and her and her brother's footsteps unconsciously approached the monks, and among the monks, a red-haired girl about her age saw her, and she stood up and walked in front of her.

"My name is Apricot, what's your name?"

"Ah Shi, my name is Ah Shi?" Ah Shi suddenly felt a little inferior, and she keenly realized that this girl with fiery red hair had something that she didn't have.

That's anger, energy, and confidence.

"Ashi?" Apricot smiled cheerfully, "We cook a bit too much food, if you have a bowl, I can give you some." ”

Before Aichi could react, her younger brother Nobunaga ran home quickly and brought two bowls.

Then, not long after, two bowls of steaming food were placed in their hands.

The monks didn't have any opinions, and the girl seemed to have a high status among them.

However, Ah Shi didn't think too much about it, and all her attention was on the food in her hand.

It's salty, but it's delicious.

The feeling of fullness that has not been seen for a long time seems to have a little more warmth in the body with this satiety.

Nobunaga was licking the bottom of the bowl, and Aichi pulled the girl to thank her, and she looked at the girl who gave her food called Kyoko gratefully, a little shy but finally spoke, "Can you give me another bowl." ”

Apricot nodded, "Yes, but people who have been hungry for a long time are not suitable for eating too much, and it will break their stomach." ”

She generously gave her and her brother a bowl of food each, and Aichi carefully took the food home, strictly forbidding his brother Nobunaga not to eat it secretly.

Although he wanted to eat it, Nobunaga restrained himself and nodded vigorously.

Suffering will make children more precocious.

The monks did not stay in the village for long, and after eating their food and resting for a while, they left again.

With the departure of the monks, the village returned to its former peace, but it seemed that it was a little less dead and a little more hopeful.

The sky went from bright to dark, and from time to time Ah Shi stood at the door and looked in the direction of the village entrance.

It wasn't until it was almost completely dark that a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the village.

Ah Shi glanced at the two bowls of food that had become cold, and after admonishing his younger brother, he walked briskly in the direction of the entrance of the village.

As she approached, her pace slowed unconsciously, and she saw the girl who had given her food, so that she and her brother, and the few other orphans in the village had survived, gave her an embarrassed smile and collapsed.

"Sister Weiyang!"

......

Inside the room lit by the bonfire, there were a few silent adults around, as well as Ah Shi who was sitting on the ground, and Weiyang lying on the straw mat.

Compared with the clean and beautiful when I saw her during the day, she was lying on the straw mat at the moment, more like a lifeless and dirty doll.

The muddy marks on his body seemed to have fallen several times, and the red printed wide-sleeved shirt was torn a few times, exposing his thighs and arms, which were densely bruised, and his face was pale without any blood, but a painful look appeared from time to time.

Ah Shi has always been clear about where Weiyang got the food.

Sell your body to those samurai and merchants in the town.

After getting food from Yang for the first time, she had the same idea of selling her body, but she was stopped by Weiyang.

She asked, but Weiyang didn't give any reason, although she said that she didn't feel like she was doing another shameful thing.

However, some of the answers have been clear for a long time.

"I guess it won't last long." The adults said in a deep voice.

There was nothing they could do about Weiyang's injury.

There are no doctors in the village or in nearby villages.

The adults left again, and in the middle of the night, Weiyang's body had a fever, and Ah Shi could only keep wiping her body with warm water, and the fuel in the house was constantly consumed, until it was almost dawn, and she woke up after she had not opened her eyes since she fell.

She opened her eyes, saw Ah Shi, looked at her surroundings again, and smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Ah Shi, I didn't bring back the food."

Ah Shi's tears flowed instantly, "It's okay, a group of monks came yesterday, and they gave a lot of food!" ”

"That's it?!" Although he wanted to say something, Weiyang, who was already exhausted, fell asleep again.

Ah Shi, who was about to feed Weiyang some food, stopped moving, and she felt her powerlessness again.

"What to do? What to do? ”

She felt that Weiyang's condition was getting worse and worse, and if she didn't treat it, she would probably die!

The thought of this result made her feel unacceptable.

Obviously such a kind sister Weiyang!

She suddenly thought of something, picked up the two bowls of food, and quickly left the house to a nearby house.

knocked on the door, and then Tuxia sat down and knelt down, "Please, help us, I want Sister Weiyang to live!" ”

"But I'm not a doctor!"

The man in the house was a little embarrassed and said, Ah Shi hurriedly said, "As long as you help us catch up with that group of monks." ”

"That group of monks helped other people in the village to see a doctor yesterday, and they can definitely save Sister Weiyang."

"It's your pay!" She pushed out two bowls of thick, half-clotted food.

Sekino sighed and picked up a bowl, "Take the rest back, I agreed, after all, that kid is also from our village." ”

Soon, Guan Ye carried Weiyang on his back and chased after the group of monks yesterday with Ah Shi.
