Chapter 635 The rise and fall of the world is none of my business
From time to time, well-established cavalrymen rushed towards me. They did not harass the people, but looked anxious. Unlike the people who were heading east, they were heading west to support the front line.
This is our own people, and it is not enemy territory, so they can't do anything to rob it.
The people whose homes were destroyed all had sad expressions on their faces. The elderly and children were sitting on carts. If the conditions at home were good, they could hire a horse or a donkey to pull them. But if the conditions were not good, or they were too slow to start.
After the horses were purchased, the young laborers at home could only pull the carts.
The war has just begun, and there is already an endless stream of people destroying their homes to provide relief.
The people on their side are worse than those on Xiren's side.
For people on the border, their homes have not been destroyed, they are just worried about their lives. If they leave, they can come back again.
The people here can only wait for the war to end and then come back to rebuild their homes. As for who loses and who wins, they don't care. Even if the attackers win, they just have a new ruler above their heads. They should pay attention.
Grain is given to grain, and those who are required to perform corvee service will not be less.
Of course, this does not mean that it is safe to attack someone else's border. What if the Shiranui family succeeds in the war and counterattacks back.
The common people do not know strategies and tactics, they do not know who is strong and who is weak, and it is impossible to predict which company will definitely win.
Facing war, the only thing they can do is to make a choice with their feet.
"Young Master, I'm sorry to bother you. My old father at home has trouble with his legs and feet. I want to buy your donkey with money. I hope you can make it easier for me. You are so kind and kind, and I will never forget it."
There was a skinny man, carrying an old man in his dying years on his back. The man spoke earnestly, but kept coughing. At first glance, he looked like a tuberculosis ghost.
"I'm sorry, old man, my legs and feet are not good, I really can't walk far, this donkey is my life, old man, I'm really sorry."
The old man refused without thinking. He led the donkey and pretended to be lame for two steps.
If Wan Lei hadn't seen the old man carrying a donkey and running faster than flying, he would have almost believed it.
The old man was reluctant to sell his donkey. This donkey named Mule had been with him for many years.
Wan Lei was reluctant to sell the donkey, and he planned to keep the donkey meat and burn it.
"I see, it's the villain who's causing trouble, I'm sorry."
The man had a look of disappointment on his face, but he was still polite.
"Wait a moment."
Fang Xiaoyu stopped the man who turned around and walked away.
"This girl..."
"You and your father should take these two pills. Your health will be better."
Two pills appeared in Fang Xiaoyu's hand.
This elixir is the lowest elixir. If a mortal takes it, it can have the effect of strengthening the body and curing diseases.
It's not that Fang Xiaoyu was reluctant to take the elixirs, it's just that the elixirs were too powerful. If these two mortals ate them and couldn't bear it, they would explode and die immediately.
"This... thank you very much, girl. You are knights, right? I'm grateful... uh, I gave you the money."
The man tremblingly took out a piece of silver and a few colleagues from his arms. For a sick and consumptive man like him who still had to take care of his elderly father, this might be all his belongings.
Life is not easy. You carry a heavy burden forward, but you don’t know that you will fall down in the future.
"No, we don't need this little money, just take it."
Fang Xiaoyu put the elixir in the man's hand.
"Thank you, hero."
The man made a gesture to kowtow, but Fang Xiaoyu helped him up with a burst of spiritual energy.
The father and son took the elixir, and the effect was immediate. The man no longer coughed, his waist became much straighter, and the old father also had energy in his eyes.
"Aren't you two always saying that the prosperity of the world is none of my business? How come you are so compassionate now? Tsk, tsk, tsk."
The three of them started on their way again. Thinking of what happened just now, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
"If you're in a good mood, just lend a hand. This guy is quite sensible and has no moral tyranny. I just like him."
Fang Xiaoyu answered without raising her head.
"Why is this not moral kidnapping? I didn't even ask the old man if I needed a donkey. I just told him how miserable he was, and he was carrying his old man's back, and he acted like a sick and consumptive ghost. Isn't this just asking for help?
Is it pitiful?
There are so many people, but he doesn't want to buy other people's horses, but he comes to us all the time. Isn't it just because you two are well-dressed and young, so you look like a good deceiver?"
"It's different. If after we reject him, he still keeps insisting on how miserable he is, and even kneels down and kowtows to beg for kindness, that is indeed moral kidnapping. But after people know that we won't sell, they will immediately
Apologize and leave, which shows that the person really needs it and really wants to buy it. If he can't buy it, he won't force it.
This is not considered moral kidnapping, it can only be regarded as the weak seeking help from the strong.
Even if others are polite, we will not make others look bad."
To put it bluntly, they both do things based on their mood, and they are qualified to do things based on their mood.
"Tsk, you two are a little angry with the world. Also, if we are wandering like this now, aren't we just traveling around the world?
People are in the world..."
"Old man, if you dare to say that you can't help yourself, I will beat you up."
"Uh... I mean, when you are in the world, you just want to be free and free and do whatever you want, hahaha."
Three people and one donkey, walking and walking leisurely and contentedly, so happy.
They were not walking fast, and the attack on others was not fast either. In the past half month, after a brief period of panic and chaos, the Shiranui family quickly stabilized their pace, and at the same time sent out the second strongest member of the family, Shiranui Qing.
Wu sits on the front line and resists the enemy's attack.
"Old man, how far is it from Xinglin Village?"
"Go forward, twenty miles."
"oh."
In fact, without asking, Wan Lei also knew that their next destination, Xinglin Village, was not far away.
Because they had already reached a forest.
An... apricot forest.
Xinglin Village is surrounded by apricot trees, covering hundreds of acres.
It's spring now, green leaves are appearing on the apricot trees, and the flower buds have just grown. It's a bit too early to say they are in bud, but they are already somewhat fragrant.
When the apricot flowers bloom, the villagers of Xinghua Village will pick part of the apricot flowers and use them to make wine.
Of course, this village does not make a living solely on wine making. It is impossible to remove all the apricot flowers as a desperate measure. Some of them must be left aside so that when the apricots mature in autumn, they can have another good harvest.
Xinghua stuffed rice and apricots are the two pillar industries of Xinglin Village.
Wan Lei and the others were walking in the forest, and on a forest path not far from them, there was a dark blue sedan heading towards Xinglin Village.
