Chapter 6 Outsiders
On the simple dining table, a family of four was chewing sour black bread.
Shawyn and Lake didn't say a word, and Willy was also very sensible and didn't speak.
Vilia sat next to Vilia and felt an unusual solemn atmosphere. She, who had always been lively, also obediently eats without making any sound.
The simple breakfast ended soon.
"Willie, your mother and I are going to the wheat field. After you and Vilia pack the table, you will go picking sweet fruits."
Because there was still wheat in the fields that needed to be harvested, Lake and Sarwin ate faster than the two of them.
"knew."
Weiley responded.
Lake and Shawen left the house with tools, leaving only Vili and Viliya on the dining table.
"Willie, what happened today, why do everyone look serious?"
Vilia swallowed the last bite of black bread with difficulty and took a sip of porridge with only a few rice grains floating.
"It's nothing. Children should not care too much about adults."
Weili patted Vilia's head and began to clean up the dishes on the dining table.
Since the plight of elder brother Thorpes cannot be solved, try to reduce other burdens at home.
After packing up the dishes, Weili and Vilia just took a brief rest, and each carried a basket on their backs and set out towards the sweet fruit tree.
“So many people!”
The two walked together, and Vilia suddenly pointed to the entrance of the village ahead and shouted.
I saw a group of villagers standing together, looking at the center while whispering something, and no one walked forward.
"Go over and take a look."
Vilia grabbed Vili's arm, and the child of this age seemed to be curious about everything.
Weili smiled helplessly and could only follow her sister's request.
It was easy for the two of them to squeeze in front.
In the middle of the crowd, four men and women wearing light armor and carrying weapons were standing. Beside them, four horses were also led by the horse's hooves, wrapped in thick iron hooves.
"It's someone outside the village."
Willie's eyes lit up. This was the first time he had seen someone outside the village after he came to this world.
"Are still no one willing? I can raise the price to two Kinlands."
One of the middle-aged men with the leading appearance stretched out a slap and said to the surrounding villagers.
The villagers whispered again, but did not respond.
"Aunt Shana, what are these people doing?"
Weili was unaware of this and found that the person standing next to her was Aunt Shana, so she asked.
Aunt Shana glanced at Willie and whispered: "These people came from outside and were looking for something deep in the forest to the west. After passing through our village, they wanted to find someone to be a guide, and now they have raised the price to two Jinle."
Upon hearing this, Willie suddenly realized and understood why the villagers around him were not moved by both Kinlums.
To the west of the village, there is a vast forest. Outside the woods, it is full of ordinary fruits and plants like sweet fruits. There is no wild beasts in the sky, and it is relatively safe. The depth of the forest is full of various dangers, and almost no villagers are willing to go deeper. Before these outsiders, many people entered the center of the forest, but many of them never came back.
It is said that it is a paradise for beasts and a forbidden place for humans.
Therefore, it is not easy for a few outsiders to find a guide here.
"Three Kinlums! Three! Can't this price still make you excited?"
Vicente looked at the cautious and greedy villagers and raised his voice, but no one answered.
He was a little helpless. The villagers in these small places always had some excessive agility.
Two days ago, a herb dealer found Vicente's four-person hiring team.
The herb vendor hopes that they can go to the Morse Forest west of Tam Village, pick a plant called Ganxing Grass, and bring it back. After the commission is completed, the wealthy herb vendor will give them a hundred Kinlums as a reward.
After hearing this, Vicente immediately agreed.
That's a hundred Kinlums! It's enough to make the hiring team comfortable to spend several years of stable years.
However, afterwards, after learning about the details of the task, Vicente discovered that the task was not simple.
First of all, the target of the mission is Ganxingcao. This is a herb that looks like a lot of weeds. It takes a lot of energy to find it. If you are not lucky, you may have to search for it for a month.
The second is the location of the mission, Morse Forest.
This is a huge forest growing on the border of the Principality of Lansau, filled with various wild beasts such as tigers, black bears, wild wolves, and many of their peers were buried there. If they want to find Ganxingcao as safe as possible, they must find a guide familiar with the terrain, so that they can avoid many deadly threats.
At the beginning, Vicente thought that one Kinlum could find a suitable guide in the nearby village, but he miscalculated and raised the price to five Kinlums, but no one was moved. Vicente had already hated the greed of these people in his heart.
Just when Vicente was anxious, a voice came from the crowd.
"Five, five Kinlum, I can take you there."
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Willie walked out of the crowd and said to Vicente.
Vicente frowned as he looked at the boy walking out of the crowd.
The boy seemed very calm, but he was a little too young, which was not in line with his expectations.
He wanted to find an old person as a guide, who would have richer experience.
"Are you really familiar with the terrain of Morse Forest?"
Vicente doesn't seem to believe in Vili very much.
"For several years of winter, I would follow my father to the depths of the Morse Forest, and I am very familiar with the terrain inside."
Willy didn't lie.
In winter, many large animals in Morse Forest choose to hibernate, and only some small animals such as hares are still foraging outside, so the safety is much higher. His father, Lake, had hunting experience when he was young, so every winter, he would take Willie to find some lonely prey.
"Since that's the case, I'd rather hire your father."
Vicente smiled.
Willie shook his head: "He will not accept your employment. He is the pillar of the family and it is impossible to enter the Morse Forest in this dangerous season."
Vicente was silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that he could trust the calm young man in front of him.
Beside Vicente, there were also a man and two women, who also looked at Vili curiously.
They have seen many villagers in small places. They are reserved, alert and do not trust outsiders, but the boy in front of them is different from those people at all.
"Five Kinlums, sold."
