On the outskirts of the Great Abyss Empire, there is a wasteland, without grass and trees.

Cold corpses and dry bones can be seen everywhere.

The glimmer of fireflies shimmered under the starry sky, and faint phosphorus fires drifted around.

Echoing the Nine Heavens and Stars!

After the disguise, 'Lu Yao' supported Huang Quan, who was also disguised, and walked downstream in the starlight.

At night, poisonous insects, snakes and rats become active, and they eat the carcasses and have fun.

In the distance, there were also jackals wandering in packs, making whining sounds, their eyes were cold, and they looked at Huangquan and 'Lu Yao' with a flashing green light.

However, they were all frightened away by Huang Quan's cold snort.

There is a homeless settlement ahead!

A village!

Doors and windows are closed in every house!

"Ahh If these corpses are not burned, in the long run, there will be a plague. "'Lu Yao' frowned slightly, and his tone was full of worry.

"You kid knows a lot. Anyway, we came out in the middle of the night just to see the dry bones of this wasteland?" Huang Quan complained.

"There's a village in front, let's go and have a look. "'Lu Yao' spoke.

Wow Wow————

At the entrance of the village, a hungry skinny old dog barked incessantly.

"Don't let it out, just let it scream. "'Lu Yao' transmitted the sound to Huang Quan.

Huang Quan laughed dryly, leaning on crutches, pretending to be sick.

Hearing the barking of the old dog, many people in the village woke up.

There was a gap in the door and window, and the people inside looked out.

When they saw that it was a pair of beggars, they all relaxed.

"What's going on outside, old man?" asked the old woman in a dilapidated room, looking to her wife in front of the window.

The old man sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's a pair of old and young, it seems that they should have fled from other places! Where is there a place to run now?"

"Why don't we give them something to stutter?" asked the old woman.

"What nonsense, where do we have any leftover?" the old man glared at the old woman angrily.

The old woman was silent.

Immediately afterwards, 'Lu Yao' began to knock on the door, and while knocking, he cried and asked, "Is there anyone? My grandfather is sick, please save me!"

Huang Quan pretended to cough again and again, looking like he was going to die.

"Let's go! We can't help you! Who has medicine these days!" came from the room.

Lu Yao shook his head in frustration and began to knock on other people's doors again.

As expected, not a single person in the entire village opened the door for them.

"Is human nature already so cold!" 'Lu Yao' said to himself in disappointment, his brows lowered.

At that moment, the door of the broken room next to it creaked, and a crack quietly opened.

A small thin arm protruded through the crack in the door inside.

The little wizened hand clutched a handful of black things.

"Little brother, this is for you. Through the door, a little girl's voice came from inside.

When Lu Yao heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and continued.

The small hand stretched out from the crack in the door was slightly released, a little slowly, and it could be seen that the people inside the door were a little hesitant and reluctant.

Finally, that handful of black things fell into the hands of 'Lu Yao'.

If you look closely, it is actually a mass of grass roots stained with soil, and there are young shoots on it!!

"That's all I have, and I was going to save it for tomorrow morning. But I don't want to hear you say that the people in our village are cold. A girl's voice came from the room.

When Lu Yao heard her words, his heart trembled slightly.

Did he say the wrong thing?!

At this time, the girl spoke again: "My father joined the army, and he has not been back for two years, and he has not believed. The people in the village said he wouldn't come back! Later, my two older brothers were also dragged into the army. My mother starved to death two months ago. ”

The girl in the room couldn't help but say this.

Although she did not cry, her tone was not choked.

'Lu Yao' could hear the sadness and helplessness in her heart.

The reason why she didn't cry may be that she had already dried her tears!

The meaning of what she said was also very vague, she wanted to tell the 'Lu Yao' outside the door, you at least have a grandfather!

And she's already alone!!

'Lu Yao' felt the same way, frowned, his heart was mixed, and his face was gloomy.

What are troubled times?

That's it, isn't it!!

'Lu Yao' opened his mouth and asked, "Can you open the door and let us in?"

Inside the room, there was silence.

A few minutes later, the girl in the house opened the door.

By the moonlight, 'Lu Yao' finally saw her appearance, and the whole person was stunned!!

This is a little girl, she is very thin, there is not a trace of excess flesh on her face, and her whole body is almost skinny!

Her hair was dry and yellow and curly.

Her clothes were tattered and tattered, with many patches and many places without patches.

What shocked 'Lu Yao' the most was that she had two hideous scars on her face, making her look terrifying.

She was actually disfigured!

She was stunned when she saw 'Lu Yao', tried to squeeze out a smile, and asked, "Am I scary?"

She refused to open the door for a long time, probably because she was afraid of scaring 'Lu Yao' and Huang Quan!

'Lu Yao' came back to his senses, quickly shook his head, waved his hand and said, "No." ”

She smiled dryly and said nothing.

She had long been accustomed to the strange and pitiful looks of others.

She took the initiative to step forward to support Huang Quan, and led the two into the house without saying a word.

There were no candles in the house, just a small earthen basin and a hardboard bed.

"Wait, I'll make a fire to keep you warm. ”

She squatted down beside the earthen basin, put some hay in it, and then very preciously took out two flintstones from her bosom and began to make fire.

The flints collided, emitting yellow sparks that flickered to illuminate the room.

Once, twice, three times...

"Don't worry, there's no cotton wool, it's slow to light a fire with flint, and you'll be fine in a while!" she said apologetically, with a faint smile on her face.

'Lu Yao' didn't understand why she could still laugh!!

I don't know how many times, but a small piece of grass was finally lit, emitting warmth and fire.

She carefully added grass to it, for fear that the fire would go out.

'Lu Yao' sighed secretly, and his spiritual power was released, making the fire stable.

The fire was finally lit.

"Why don't you eat it?" she turned her head to look at 'Lu Yao' who was holding the grassroots.

'Lu Yao' was stunned, and said with a smile: "It's better to keep it for tomorrow morning!"

When she heard 'Lu Yao' say this, she lowered her head slightly and whispered: "I only have this, it's hard to catch mice, I can't catch them, I can only dig some grass roots on the ground." ”

Her tone was low, with some self-reproach.

When Lu Yao heard this, his heart became even more sour, and he slowly sent the grass roots to his mouth.

The entrance of the grass roots, there is some firewood when chewing, as well as sand and small stones, which is very toothy!

The taste is a little astringent, a little sweet, and more bitter!

It's an indescribable taste, it's not unpleasant, but it's never delicious!

It turns out that the homeless people on the mainland are not as good as the homeless people on the island! At least the homeless people on the island can still fish!

Watching 'Lu Yao' eat grass roots, she quietly swallowed her saliva.

After 'Lu Yao' ate half of the grass roots, he stuffed the rest of the grass roots into Huang Quan's hands, turned his head and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl smiled and said, "My name is Ah Fei, you can just call me Xiaofei." ”

Then she looked at Huang Quan again, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, eat quickly, these grass roots are very tender." ”

Huang Quan raised his eyebrows secretly, looked at 'Lu Yao' next to him, and said, "Good grandson, grandpa is not hungry, let's eat!"

When Ah Fei heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said very worriedly: "Grandpa, you should eat it yourself! Your grandson has already eaten it just now." Besides, aren't you sick? Although these grass roots have no nutrition, they can provide a cushion for hunger. ”

'Lu Yao' also spoke: "Yes, grandpa, you can eat quickly! Don't live up to Ah Fei's kindness." ”

Seeing this, Huang Quan had no choice but to put the grass root in his mouth and began to eat.

He is a powerful Gu Immortal, when has he ever eaten grass roots?

"You must be thirsty, aren't you? Come, I've got water here. Ah Fei took the water very carefully.

A broken porcelain bowl with clear water.

Just like Afei's heart, clear and pure, kind!!!
