Chapter 36 Don't Pick Wildflowers by the Roadside

Since the other party will come to Lu Xi in a while, Lu Xi also took the initiative to find them, and waited for them to come closer.

However, Lu Xi didn't completely let down her vigilance, she asked Mao Hao to carefully confirm that the crowd was sure that all of them were ordinary people, and there was no threat to her.

Not to mention anything else, with Mao Miao by her side, even if she meets one or two elemental warriors and elemental mages, she can walk sideways.

When he was bored waiting for someone, Lu Xi took out a few more pots and began to cook, and it was almost time to eat dinner at five o'clock in the afternoon.

And the key thing is that Mao Hao said that the group of people looked like they hadn't eaten for a long time, and Lu Xi was not short of this food, since the side quest was related to them, it was also a good idea to use food to communicate.

Xiao Yuan also secretly ran over to take a look, the crowd was all ordinary people, and naturally he couldn't find it, a silver wolf cub with wind element attributes.

Xiao Yuan looked more closely than Mao Hao, and came back to tell Lu Xi that he saw several human cubs in the crowd, as well as several elderly people.

As for the several, how many are specific, Xiao Yuan has never learned to count.

Inexplicably, Lu Xi felt that he might have taught Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao the study of words, and there was no future for being illiterate.

Such a group of people of all ages seem to have a clear goal, at least the direction choice is very firm, Lu Xi really can't guess where they come from.

Just in case, Lu Xi activated the phantom badge on Mao Hao's body, and Mao Hao was mimicked into another monster that was similar in appearance to the young dragon.

Although not everyone can recognize the image of the "dragon", it is necessary to avoid the appearance of that small one.

……

There were about forty or fifty people fleeing the same crowd, and about a dozen of them were human cubs, most of them were teenagers, and only two of them were carried on their mother's back by their mothers.

There are only four or five old people, who are said to be old, but they are actually in their forties, and they look relatively old, and their mobility has not been damaged.

Otherwise, they would not be able to keep up with the speed of this rapid march.

The largest number are women in their twenties and thirties, there are more than twenty of them, most of them are mothers, each leading their children, only two or three still look like little girls, with a childish face, and the remaining ten or so are young men.

However, these men are young and strong, and they don't look much "strong", but they look thinner and weaker than the other, and they are not even as strong as the individual middle-aged women in the team.

The only thing to praise is probably that these young men are scattered in the front and back of the team, taking on the task of guarding, and they have not lost their sense of responsibility because of their thin size.

The young man at the head was one of the more sturdy in the team, and he walked at the forefront to open the way, undertaking the hardest task, and he was the first to discover that there was smoke floating in front of the path.

The smoke was naturally the smoke from Lu Xi's cooking, and she had no intention of hiding it, and even had the intention to use the smoke to remind this group of people.

Behold, there are people here.

As she expected, the young man looked at the smoke rising in front of him, looked back at the hungry and tired group, gritted his teeth, and called out to a young boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Iron Fang, I'll go to the front to see the situation, you look at the surrounding situation, let everyone rest in place for a while, if I haven't come back, then you can take everyone to change directions and leave here."

If it is not necessary, young people do not want to change their direction, they are like this, and it is the limit that they have gone now, and if they go in a different direction, half of them may not be able to reach their destination.

But the smoke was in the way they had to pass, and the young man had no choice but to go and find out the situation himself, and whether the result was good or bad, at least a dangerous option was eliminated for these people.

"Yes, Brother Cross." The young man named Iron Fang opened his mouth, looked at the young man's blue eyes, swallowed the words he wanted to stop, and watched the young man put down his share of luggage and disappear into the vast grass.

Without the drag of the crowd and salutes behind him, it didn't take much time for Cross to touch the place where Lu Xi was.

It was a rare flat land, and the weeds were only ankle-high, and if it weren't for that, it would be difficult for Lu Xi to find dandelions that were only knee-high.

And now, one of the areas is covered with disposable farmland, on which a layer of "ripe" but unharvested mother-in-law grows.

The neat purple leaves look very conspicuous.

Lu Xi placed several portable stoves not far from the disposable farmland, and thick smoke was rising from the stoves.

There are several large pots of wild rice porridge boiling in it, this thing is the easiest and effortless to make, and it is also suitable for people who have been hungry for a long time, easy to swallow, easy to fill.

As for Lu Xi herself, she thought about it and felt that if she had a good dish and a good meal, it didn't seem good to eat it in front of these people.

Although there was nothing wrong with her doing this, after all, she was eating herself, but there was always a feeling of something like this, so Lu Xi decided that either we would deal with it together, or she would wait until she went back in the evening to prepare dinner and eat it.

The problem is not how bad or good you eat, but not to show your happiness in front of a group of miserable people, although Lu Xi doesn't deliberately want to be gracious, but he can't make enemies with others.

And so this is what Cross saw, a small field with some kind of plant on the left, and a few steaming pots on the right.

Behind the pot sat a beautiful young lady in a black robe with a strange hat, and at the feet of this beautiful young lady lay an extremely beautiful silver-gray haired silver wolf cub.

The black robe is an elemental robe that Lu Xi bought in the human town, with a protective elemental circle, it is not as safe as a farm outside the farm, and no one can protect whether a poisonous insect or something like a monster will come out of the grass.

The strange hat is a helmet, and when he completed the side quest before, the system gave him a mission reward, because it said "has a certain defensive ability", and Lu Xi equipped it as well.

In terms of protecting himself, Lu Xi will not use those props for reasons such as being unsightly.

She also wore cotton gloves in her hands.

Compared with any aristocratic lady, she is more like a "migrant worker from another world".

Lu Xi was holding a red dandelion in her hand, spinning around boredly, and after a while, she had already blown ten or eight.

The red one is really beautiful when it flies.

Xiao Yuan doesn't like this kind of thing very much, the hair on its body is too long, if this thing gets on the hair, it is not easy to clean up, so he controls the wind element to form a protective film-like thing outside the body, isolating them.

So the red dandelion seeds swirled and danced in place for a while, and soon flew in other directions.

In Lu Xi's imagination, this young man who came to investigate the situation may have many reactions, but what she never expected was.

Cross's gaze fell on the red dandelion in Lu Xi's hand, his pupils dilated suddenly, and he almost shouted in a broken voice, "Throw it away!" ”

Lu Xi was startled by the shout, blinked his eyes, and looked at the red dandelion in his hand.

Throw away? Didn't you mean what she had in her hand?

Cross didn't stand still and wait for Lu Xi to react, he ran forward very quickly, taking off his shabby shirt as he ran.

The distance of more than ten meters was only a few seconds, and Lu Xi didn't react yet, Xiao Yuan was shocked by the sound, and he didn't feel the malice on the young man's body, so he hesitated.

In just such a moment, Cross had already flung his arm, spread his clothes, and grabbed the red dandelion in Lu Xi's hand.

With a quick pack, he threw it into the fire under the pot.

Fortunately, those props produced by the game system, after use, the effect is the same as the actual existing items, such as the fire can really burn things, and it really has a flame temperature.

Cross was naked with a somewhat thin upper body, with some scars scattered on it, and a few more distinct abdominal muscle lines, and only after watching his clothes and the contents of them burned out with his own eyes did he turn his head to look at Lu Xi.

It didn't matter what he saw, and his face suddenly turned pale.

There is no other reason, I just got far away and didn't pay attention to it, but now I found that on the ground next to me, there are all "seedlings" of this red dandelion.

The only good news is that none of these red dandelions have yet to bear fruit because they are "seedlings".

Lu Xi watched the young man's face change and change in front of him, and he had a premonition that he seemed to have done something wrong inadvertently, so he tentatively spoke.

"Hello, uh, what's wrong with this thing?"

Cross retracted his gaze, and the upper half of his body, which had lost his clothes, was blown in the wind, and his skin trembled a little, and he didn't know if it was because he was shouting too hard just now, or for some other reason, his voice was very hoarse.

"This thing is very dangerous, we call it a vampire flower, its seeds will be blown up by the wind when it is ripe, if it falls on the ground, it will take root in the ground and grow normally, if it falls on a monster or a human, it will draw blood and quickly grow into an extremely gorgeous blood flower."

"It's fine if you only get one or two, but if there are too many, whether it's a human or a monster, you will be sucked dry of blood and die."

Lu Xi opened his mouth slightly, and subconsciously took two steps back in fright, and there was a creak under his feet.

Cross and Lu Xi looked down at the ground together and saw multiple rods of "red dandelions" that had been blown clean.

Lu Xi smiled awkwardly, "Haha, this, I didn't know about it before, I saw it blowing, and it looked good when it flew." ”

But in my heart I screamed in horror: Mom! How can plants in another world be so terrifying! It's scared to death!

Cross didn't answer Lu Xi, but looked at the strange costume on Lu Xi's body, and through the black element robe on Lu Xi's body, he saw a set of clothes underneath.

The fabric texture is delicate and the colors are bright, and at first glance it is not a dress that ordinary people can wear, plus the cub demon pet next to it that is carefully raised at a glance.

Lu Xi does not have the aura of a mercenary, he is in danger all the year round, and the momentum of the mercenary who walks with death is easy to identify.

Therefore, Lu Xi's identity is very well determined, this must be a noble lady...... For ordinary human beings, those who are a little wealthier in the family, who raise maids, and who do not have to work themselves, can actually be called "noble ladies".

Then Cross suddenly knelt down and saluted, "I beg your pardon for the stupid servant who has inadvertently offended you." ”

It was also at this time that Cross thought of the black elemental robe on Lu Xi's body, with such an elemental magic weapon to protect him, these dangerous plants that were fatal to them ordinary people were just an interesting thing for this noble lady.

To a certain extent, the young man's kneeling behavior frightened Lu Xi more than when he suddenly rushed over.

"Uh, no, no, you just get up." Lu Xi touched her earlobe, when she met the people in Kuwa Village before, they didn't have this attitude.

It's a little scary.

Cross didn't get up, he respectfully maintained a kneeling posture and looked up at Lu Xi, "Are you the owner of the Spirit Farm?" ”

It's a question, but the tone is more like certainty.

"Huh?" Lu Xi was really stunned this time, she didn't expect that she would still hear the name Lingyu Farm from the mouths of the indigenous people.

It's like going to a museum to look at an ancient pottery bowl and finding that it says "microwave oven only".

The young man seemed to get an answer from Lu Xi, he lowered his head and began to tell his story.

"My name is Cross, and I come from the village of Wamuda, a few hundred kilometers to the south, and a month ago, our village and its surroundings were hit by a monster influx."

Cross's eyes turned red, "There are a total of 237 people in the village, and only 49 of us escaped, under the protection of the village chief and most of the young adults. ”

"Our luck is good, it's not on the main route of the monster tide, we only meet a small wave of monsters, so we can escape these people, and the village next to it is more ......"

Cross's voice choked up, and it was difficult to continue.

After calming down for a while, Cross continued to speak, "Although the tide of monsters has receded, there are still many monsters scattered everywhere, and the remaining people in our village have no ability to protect themselves, so they can't stay in the village to live, so they can only migrate all the way, passing through Darcy Village on the way, it is the people of Darcy Village who said that there is a noble lady's farm here, and persuaded us to come and join." ”

What Cross didn't say was that they wanted to stay in Darcy Village, but Darcy Village was only a small village, and it couldn't accommodate them, and the food couldn't feed them at all.

So it was just given them a direction and some food that they were able to get here.

But even so, what Darcy Village has done can be called a great kindness.

Even if it is the season of grain harvest, what a great kindness it is to be able to spare some of the grain for these ordinary people, who has enough food.

Cross has already firmly remembered the kindness of Darcy Village in his heart, and he will definitely find a way to repay those people in Darcy Village.

Damn, there is a big gap between what you think and what you write.
