Chapter 5: World Fragments
Regardless of whether Li Ping'an is an explorer or a wanderer who can't find a home, that amazing strength is real in front of him.
In this world where strength is respected, he is not qualified to pity a strong man like Li Ping'an.
The village chief's house lives in the middle of the village, and it is only a few minutes away from the entrance of the village.
The two adults deliberately hurried quickly, and walked to the door of the village chief's house in less than two minutes.
The village chief is an old man in his 60s, but he looks like an old man in his 80s in this difficult environment.
The skin on his face was loose and wrinkled, and his thin body looked as if it would fall down when the wind blew.
The old man's sleep was already submerged, and coupled with the pressure of the lord's conscription and the fact that the hunters in the village had been out for a month and had not returned, he slept even more restlessly.
So when the men just entered the village and called for their mother-in-law and children, the old man who was worried was awakened.
He put on his clothes and waited for the people to return.
When he saw the wooden tower come back, the eyes of the old man who looked like he was in his last years brightened unusually brightly.
When Muta saw the village chief at the door, he also ran over quickly.
"I knew you should be woken up by us, you're in a hurry."
The village chief saw Li Ping'an on the side, and said with a smile to the wooden tower: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's good that you're back." ”
Then he looked at Li Ping'an on the side and said, "Who is this guest?" ”
Muta hurriedly said: "This is our savior, after we caught the Armor Scale Rhino, we were discovered by the goblins and the group of rabbits of the lizard tribe, and they wanted to cut off the beard. ”
Then Muta pulled over to Li Ping'an and said: "We are outnumbered, and if it weren't for the help of this guest, we would all have to plant there this time." ”
In the end, the wooden tower has more than one season.
When the village chief heard Mu Ta say this, his heart fluttered.
He asked the wooden tower again, "Did the beetle rhinoceros catch it at the end?" How are our casualties? ”
Muta said: "The beetle rhinoceros has been caught, several of us have been injured, but none of them are in danger of life, just rest for a few days, thanks to this guest!" ”
When the village chief heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and with the skin of the beetle-scale rhinoceros, the village would be able to keep more seeds.
He hurriedly knelt down to thank Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an's hands were quick, and he hurriedly supported the old man who was about to kneel, and said, "Don't be so polite, we are all human beings and should help each other." ”
The village chief could only say: "Okay, good, good, the guest is right, we humans should help each other." ”
Then invite Li Ping'an to the house.
The furnishings of the house are unusually simple, and when you enter the door, there is a stove on the right side of the window, and next to it there are two wooden barrels with water.
In the middle of the room was a table with an oil lamp burning with boar fat crackling and stenching like rotten apples, and beside it there were two benches of rough workmanship.
On the left side of the house is a kang made of clay with a blanket made of unknown animal fur and a dog skin mattress.
Next to the bed is a wooden cabinet that should hold clothes and other things.
Other than that, there was nothing in the house.
The village chief invited Li Ping'an and the wooden tower to sit on the kang, and took out a low table from the middle of the kang and the cabinet and put it on the bed.
Then he picked up the oil lamp on the table, supported the bottom of the lamp with one hand, and protected the wick with the other hand to block the wind, slowly walked to the kang, and carefully placed the oil lamp on the low table.
Then he took off his shoes and made it to the kang, and invited Li Ping'an and Wooden Tower to go to bed again.
Li Ping'an didn't shirk either, took off his armor, leaked out the clothes he was wearing inside, and then did it on the kang.
Although the weather is not cold now, because the village chief is getting older, he still lights the stove, and still goes in some sawdust and crackle wood to burn slowly in the dark fire.
When Li Ping'an sat on the kang, there was a warm feeling from under the buttocks, although the kang was a little hard, but it was not so awkward to sit on it.
Sitting at the table, the village chief slowly spoke: "Thank you for the help of the guests, otherwise if something happens to them in the wooden tower, not only will we be requisitioned a bunch of young men, but even the hunters in the village will be gone, and I am afraid that our village will not be far from destruction." ”
As he spoke, tears flowed down the ravine on the village chief's face.
Li Ping'an eats soft rather than hard, and he is ruthless to old men like Phillips and Neil Finch who have the intention of harming him, no matter how old he is.
But for this old man who cried and thanked him in front of him, he was a little at a loss for a while, and could only say: "It's okay, you're welcome, it's all a gesture." ”
Then he looked at the wooden tower as if asking for help, hoping that he would persuade the village chief.
Wooden Tower looked at Li Ping'an's appearance, and felt a little funny, he couldn't connect the current Li Ping'an with the murderous alien Li Ping'an before.
Fortunately, the village chief quickly returned to normal after crying for a while.
The village chief wiped his tears with his sleeve and continued: "It's easy to shed tears when you're old, and the guests are smiling. ”
Li Ping'an didn't speak, but he was relieved to see that this old man finally stopped crying.
The village chief asked, "I don't know what the guest's name is, where is it?" ”
Li Ping'an replied: "My name is Li Ping'an, I have no fixed residence, I have traveled around, and I happened to meet the wooden tower and they were fighting with foreign races, so I helped kill a few foreign races. ”
The village chief said: "It is a small thing for the guests, it means a lot to our village, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of our village. ”
Li Ping'an said: "This is polite, I don't know who the lord here is, why every household is conscripted, so recklessly depleting the population." ”
Hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "Hey, our lord's name is Marco, and he has recently been fighting a territory battle with Lord Oda next door. ”
"There has been friction between the two sides over the years, and this time they have played a real fire, and they both want the world fragments in each other's hands to increase their territory."
"Lord Marco has already occupied the other party's Sancheng land this time, and cut off the control of the Oda territory over the Sancheng land, as long as he occupies the territory of the Oda family for another 200, he can make the Oda patriarch unable to obtain the bonus of the World Fragment.
”
"When the time comes, you can crush the Lord of Oda with the bonus of your own territory, so that you can obtain the world fragments in Oda's hands, so as to increase your own world fragments."
"But the number of troops is tight, so we have increased the conscription, and we want to quickly occupy the two percent of the land." The village chief said.
