() At night, the orange and yellow clothes of the earth gradually fade away, darkness envelopes the earth, and the blue stars in the sky keep twinkling.
The two of them did not walk too far. About ten kilometers to the north, they entered a village that was not very big and had very old buildings.
From the appearance of this village, you can guess that it is very barren, with rickety houses and broken bricks and tiles, all of which have been almost corroded by weathering, leaving an intact place.
"This...is this a village?" Mu Wenxuan, who was standing at the entrance of the village, asked in surprise, secretly shocked in his heart. This village was too sociable. I had seen the luxury and nobility of Hongyun City, and mistakenly thought that Xingya Realm was very
He was so prosperous that it was really difficult for him to accept that the village in front of him was hundreds of times better than this even if it were a rural area on earth.
Of course, Mu Wenxuan, who has been stimulated by the violent visual impact recently, has forgotten an absolute issue. No matter what era or world, as long as there is wealth, there will be poverty. As long as there is luxury, there will be greetings. Without
How can the poor set off the rich?
This is the eternal truth.
Nan Xiang sighed and said: "Because the recent business trips have hired some powerful mercenary groups, the Tiger Village has suffered a series of failures. In desperation, they suppressed the surrounding villages even more severely, and the residence fees they collected have also doubled.
After a while."
At the mention of this, Nan Xiang paused for a moment and said through his teeth: "These are ordinary civilians who have just grown some crops to fill their stomachs. How can they pay taxes to the tiger village? After such strong suppression,
Being able to survive is already a blessing among misfortunes."
"An inhuman beast." Mu Wenxuan clenched his fists and cursed.
At this time, two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village. One of them was an extremely old man. He was skinny and skinny, with shriveled skin, sallow and without any trace of humanity, and the wrinkles on his forehead were as tight as tangled knots.
The old man was holding a naughty girl. The girl was about seven or eight years old. She was just ignorant. When she saw Nanxiang, she rushed over excitedly: "Sister Nanxiang, are you back? What happened during the day? Let you go.
In such a hurry?"
The inexplicable words suddenly made Nan Xiang's face turn red with embarrassment, and an alluring red cloud flew up. He angrily blocked the little girl's mouth and said, "Lulu, what are you talking about?"
Hearing this, Mu Wenxuan looked at the little girl. He had to say that this girl was not that big, but her appearance should not be underestimated. She was an absolute beauty, and her immature face already revealed her elegant temperament: "Little girl
, are you Nan Lulu? Hehe, my brother’s name is Mu Wenxuan, your sister’s good friend.”
Looking up at Mu Wenxuan, Nan Lulu rolled her eyes and said nothing.
"Uh... little girl, why didn't you say anything?" Mu Wenxuan scratched his head in embarrassment and asked.
Unexpectedly, Nan Lulu's little face turned up, assuming a domineering look, she pursed her lips, snorted coldly, and still didn't speak.
"Lulu, let's talk. Why don't you say hello to your brother when you see him?"
Turning her head and looking at Nanxiang, Nan Lulu pretended to be a young adult and said confidently: "Sister Nanxiang, didn't you and grandpa tell me when I went out? Don't talk to strangers. They
They will capture Lulu and sell her, and then you won’t be able to see Lulu anymore, Lulu will miss you.”
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, and several black lines suddenly appeared on Mu Wenxuan's forehead.
Unable to hold it back, Nan Xiang burst out laughing, patted Nan Lulu on the head and said: "Xiao Lulu, this brother is not a bad person. He is just like his sister. He will be good to Lulu and pamper her.
Yes."
"Really?" Nan Lulu's innocent eyes widened and she looked at Nan Xiang blinking.
Raising his hand to touch Mu Wenxuan, Nan Xiang made a deliberate wink, mixed with a trace of prayer.
Shaking his head helplessly, Mu Wenxuan glanced at Nan Lulu's childish and innocent look, sighed deeply, half-crouched down and smiled kindly: "Of course, I will treat little Lulu like you are right."
Just like a biological sister, brother Mu will take you out to play in the future, okay?"
"Okay...of course."
"Nanxiang benefactor, you are back." At this time, the skinny old man came over and looked at Nanxiang with gratitude.
Looking at the old man Nan Xiang nodded, then pointed at Mu Wenxuan and said: "Village Chief Zhao, this is Mr. Mu. He happens to be passing by here. We may need to stay in Zhaojiazhuang temporarily. I wonder if it will trouble you?"
"
"Nanxiang benefactor, what are you talking about?" Village Chief Zhao trembled obviously, looked flattered, and waved his hands repeatedly: "It is our honor for Nanxiang girl to dominate Zhaojiazhuang. Don't say it is just a temporary stay, even if it is a long-term stay.
, there won’t be any trouble.”
"This..." Nan Xiang glanced at the fallen houses in the village, feeling a little sad in his heart. He sighed deeply and said softly: "In this case, little lady, you are not welcome. Could you please help the village chief make arrangements?"
"Miss Nanxiang, what are you talking about? We can't repay your great kindness to our Zhaojiazhuang even if we are broken into pieces. I will make arrangements for you right now. You can stay as long as you want."
"Excuse me, Village Chief Zhao."
Mu Wenxuan, who had been standing nearby, did not speak. After all, he had never met Village Chief Zhao, so it seemed very disrespectful to interrupt him rashly.
But there was one word that Mu Wenxuan firmly remembered in his heart. He frowned and thought to himself: "Benefactor, benefactor, what did Nanxiang help Zhaojiazhuang?"
After everything was arranged, Mu Wenxuan, Nan Xiang, and Nan Lulu followed Village Chief Zhao into the village. On the way, Mu Wenxuan asked Nan Xiang why the village chief was so polite to her and even used the method of smashing her body to pieces.
Four words were used to describe Nanxiang's kindness, but unexpectedly, Nanxiang was only vaguely mentioned and not mentioned at all.
"Nan Xiang, why are the people in Zhaojiazhuang so polite to you and calling you your benefactor?"
"It's just a little effort, nothing to worry about."
"It's not a piece of cake. My sister, she is very great. If it weren't for me..." Nan Lulu, a child, said carelessly, but at this time, she was directly interrupted by Nan Xiang.
I thought I might get something out of Nan Lulu's mouth, but seeing this scene, Mu Wenxuan could only shake his head helplessly and give up.
At night, Zhaojiacun was very poor and had limited houses. Mu Wenxuan and the other three were arranged in a house with only one wall between them. This was the most complete house in the village.
Mu Wenxuan didn't think anything of it. Maybe it was because he was busy for half a month. He fell into a deep sleep as soon as he fell on the bed, and it was very sweet.
Mu Wenxuan's snoring could be heard through the partition wall. This was pitiful for Nan Xiang and Nan Lulu. After all, they were women and of noble birth. They had been instilled with some feudal education and their anxious hearts could never be calmed down.
