After everyone dispersed, they returned home and several people sat around a table, even the youngest Xiao Shi Tong was next to him.

"Is there no food?"

Xue Xuan's voice was slightly low, he had been observing the surrounding situation since he went up to the halfway point of the mountain, but he didn't find the house where the grain was placed, and after entering this familiar cabin, there was no trace of any grain, coupled with the somewhat blue face of his parents, Xue Xuan's heart suddenly felt a twitch.

"This doesn't matter, what's the situation in the outside world now?"

Xue Xuan's father tried to change the topic, but Xue Xuan didn't answer his question in a hurry, only to see him walk out of the door and quickly walk around a few wooden houses, and his face looked a little ugly when he walked back.

"You have divided all the food, what will you eat?

What about the food left over from the other houses in the village?"

After he turned around, he immediately found that there was more or less a little grain in the other wooden houses, while there was not a single grain of rice in his parents' house, thinking of their personalities, Xue Xuan felt a little helpless.

"The fire is coming, and several wealthy families in the village are on fire, and you know that the year is approaching, so the food that can be eaten in the village for more than two months has been scavenged, and as for me and your mother, the green fruits in the back mountain can still satisfy hunger. ”

A smile appeared on Xue Xuan's father's face and he pretended to be fine, in fact, he hadn't had any serious food for two days.

Towards the end of the year, every household left enough food for the autumn harvest, and sold the rest to the caravans, but the meteorite fire that broke out before the disaster burned most of the grain, and there was not much food left.

And the green fruits on those fruit trees in the back mountain, whether they can eat Xue Xuan is still unclear?

Those fruit trees are Muzi pears, which are suitable for the cultivation of this plant in such a place where there is little rainfall and the land is not fertile, but the fruit of Muzi pear, even if it is ripe, will be slightly sour, and the juice is not much, not to mention the green and unripe fruit.

This was the experience that Xue Xuan had gained from going up the mountain to steal food when he was a child, and when he thought that his parents had been starving before, his heart would twitch inexplicably.

"The food is here, and it can be eaten for a long time......

Daddy, you've suffered......"

Xue Xuan put out all the surplus food in his storage space, and there were countless things to say in his heart, but looking at his parents' relieved faces like a fish in his throat, he couldn't help but cry like rain, this was the first time he had shed tears in so many years.

Yiming also released the food in his storage space together, the three of them can't eat much these days, and when they go out of Tongcheng, their storage rings are full, and now there is more than half left, even if the twenty villagers eat together, they can eat for a long time.

"Grown up and sensible!"

Xue Xuan's parents didn't say anything else, they just smiled with relief, parents are like this, their lives are great, and they don't ask for anything in return.

......

Since there is food, of course it is to start cooking and eating, at the dinner table Xue Xuan explained the situation outside, in fact, he is not very clear about the specifics, he can go around this way, but he has not seen a fugitive.

Then Xue Xuan's father returned to the current situation in Nangong City, Xue Xuan didn't know how to answer, for the secular mortals of the Eastern Continent, the Nangong Dynasty was the sky, responsible for governing everything in the Eastern Continent, from the city lords of various cities, the army, to the yamen and county officials of the town, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the Nangong Dynasty.

However, the situation of the Nangong Dynasty was not very good, although Xue Xuan did not ask the abdicated emperor much, but presumably even the emperor abdicated, and the situation in Nangong City was not much better.

However, Xue Xuan didn't talk much about these things with his parents, and talking about these things would only make them panic and worry, and there was no meaning.

After the Nangong Dynasty finished talking, then talked about the future development of Xuejia Village.

Xue Xuan was very concerned about this problem, he had already thought of many plans before he came, but what he didn't expect was that there were more than 20 villagers who also survived......

He didn't have the intention of bringing a large group of people in his plan, not that he couldn't bring them, but that he didn't want to, these people were mean and lazy, and in Xue Xuan's opinion, they were even more hopeless than those townspeople in the town under Kunyuan Mountain.

Not to mention anything else, Xue Xuan couldn't stand the food that allowed him to accept Xue Xuan's parents with peace of mind, but his parents didn't keep a grain of rice and divided it all, and the villagers of Xuejia Village still accepted the alms of Xue Xuan's parents even though they had a lot of surplus food at home.

The human heart is unpredictable.

Because of this, Xue Xuan was reluctant to bring this group of so-called relatives who had nothing to do with him.

"At present, Xuejia Village is quite safe, but the autumn harvest has ended, and after the New Year's pass, we will sow seeds, and then wait for the harvest. ”

Xue Xuan's father sighed, he had been thinking about the way to go in the future, but he had never had a good idea, and now he didn't know the outside situation, there was no carriage, how to make a long journey.

Xue Xuan heard that his father was so entangled, and he didn't immediately say his plan, he had three plans.

The first is to retreat to the Deserted State, where there are few people, not even mortals, let alone the walking corpses, that is, the environment is a bit harsh, and long-term development is needed, and although there is less threat of walking corpses, there will be one more and more deadly.

That's the beast, ordinary beasts are terrifying enough, but beasts can also be assimilated by the walking corpse and become even more terrifying monsters, but this should be very rare.

The second plan is to break through! All the way to the south!

Across the territory of the Eastern Continent!

Then row, find an unknown island, and live in peace.

The weather in Zhenhai Prefecture is warm, and most of the crops are sown and harvested twice a year, and they mature very quickly.

There is no need to worry about any walking corpse beasts on the island, although Xue Xuan has not done experiments, but walking corpses should not be able to swim, even if they can swim, it is impossible to come to the island in large numbers.

So the level of safety was the highest of the three plans, but there was still a little bit of a deficiency, the distance was too long, and he had not lived at sea, and it was not clear whether the sea was as described in the book, and the sea was often flooded with unrivalled storms, rolling up storms, and raining countless times.

The first plan is to solve the problem for a short time, and the second plan is to solve the problem later.

But now the second plan is really difficult to implement, if you only have your own parents, then you can find a horse, find a carriage, and take your time along the way to get to Zhenhaizhou, but now, ......

There was something he didn't expect, and there were more than 20 villagers in Xuejia Village to be resettled, and with the character of his father and mother, it was difficult for them to leave these 20 people.

The third plan is to stick to Xuejia Village, with Xue Xuan and Yiming here, start from Xuejia Village, start to sweep outward, collect grain and put it in the storage space, and then bring it back, so that little by little it should be able to survive next year's autumn harvest.

If it really doesn't work, Xue Xuan and Yiming rushed to Zhenyuan City to get food from the border pass.

It works, but ......

I am afraid that this year will exhaust Xue Xuan and Yiming, and it is estimated that the cultivation time during this period is very small.

Therefore, Xue Xuan put down this third plan directly, and did not plan to consider it, so it was necessary to carefully consider which of the first two plans should be implemented.

After chatting for a while, Xue Xuan took the initiative to support his father and walked outside.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but now Xue Xuan stood halfway up the mountain and looked down, there were indeed some houses that were pitch black, as if they had been burned by fire, and there was a small meteorite that fell behind the village, and it was not visible from the place where he came in because of the viewing angle.

It's still in the book, these meteorites that fall from the sky can refine meteorites outside the sky, and it is very easy to use to create weapons.

However, at this time, who cares about what meteorites are or not......

Xue Xuan was free at this time, but he didn't know how to smelt iron at all, and he couldn't forge weapons.

"Xuan'er, if you have something to say, just say it. ”

Walking on the ridges of the terraced fields with Xue Xuan one after the other, Father Xue said what Xue Xuan thought in his heart.

"Before I can remember, was our family very rich?"

Xue Xuan was not surprised that his father could see his thoughts, and Father Xue himself was an extremely shrewd person.

"Yes, Lord of a City. ”

Father Xue was a little surprised, he thought that Xue Xuan would ask about his life experience, but he didn't expect to ask about this, so he took it directly

To him, any city lord is a floating cloud, and the child he picked up next to the city lord's mansion back then is the most important thing for him.

"Zhenyuan City?"

Xue Xuan narrowed his eyes, his guess was that his father should be a rich businessman, but he didn't expect that he would have an official status, and his father's indifference made him even more admired, from the lord of a city to a farmer, this kind of identity change is not acceptable to anyone.

"Yes, the deputy city lord intended to slander me, and wanted to sit in the position of the city lord, and he had already established a good relationship, as long as he wrote to the court, his little city lord would definitely be knocked to the ground, and it was not uncommon to even ask for beheading, so he resigned first. ”

Father Xue's expression was as calm as ever, and it seemed that his resignation was not a big deal.

"Xuejia Village is our ancestral land?"

Xue Xuan could imagine that in order to protect himself, his father and mother resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown to be a simple farmer.

It's no wonder that the trade caravan will pass through Xuejia Village on purpose, it seems that it is really because of his father, but there is naturally no trade caravan now.

"Of course, we are both surnamed Xue, we are all a family, and we naturally have to help each other when there is something. ”

Speaking of the surname Xue, Father Xue paused for a moment, with a smile on his face.

When Xue Xuan saw his father's smile, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that his father was reminding him that his surname was Xue, and he was also reminding him not to leave the twenty or so villagers alone.

"The person who framed you is the current city lord of Zhenyuan City?"

"Yes, but ......"

"I see!"

"You don't understand, that guy was originally a cultivator at the peak of the Liangyi Realm, and now he must have already ascended to the Sancai Realm, you must not think about revenge. ”

Father Xue seemed to know what Xue Xuan was trying to do, and his face was worried.

"Anyway, father, you are also the lord of a city, what kind of cultivation are you doing now?"

What is the Three Talents Realm Xue Xuan directly ignored, compared to this, he was more curious about his father's cultivation.

"At that time, there was no good practice method, relying on a set of boxing methods to slowly cultivate to the peak of the martial arts realm, through the martial arts test, the martial county test, until the palace test, in front of a martial arts flower, because there is no further exercises, so this life is imprisoned here, not an inch.

And the current city lord of Zhenyuan City is a son of a big family, and his starting point is much higher than mine, and he can become a deputy city lord without even a martial arts. ”

"Understood, I'll help you back to the house to rest!"

Xue Xuan chuckled, he didn't have any more questions to ask.

After helping Father Xue back into the house, he gave Yiming a look, and then walked out of the door.

What kind of dog thing is the gentleman's revenge from morning to night, although the sky is getting dark, but when he sweeps through with a shot and returns, it must not be dawn!
