Xiaorou followed Wu Jian panting, but Wu Jian didn't notice...or ignored it. She stopped until she reached a field - it should be the field. At this time, Wu Jian was already far away from the city.

Wu Jian finally stopped, and Xiaorou was able to put her hands on her knees to rest. It was not easy to keep up with Wu Jian. But Wu Jian did not give her time to rest. She just looked around and walked towards the fields. Of course, Xiaorou could only follow behind. Fortunately, Wu Jian was not walking fast at this time.

There were no crops in the fields, and the land was exposed to the air. The cracks made people realize at a glance that this land had not been nourished for a long time. In fact, what we saw along the way was the same scene, and I don’t know if Effie had discovered it or she could do nothing, and she had more important things to do.

Wu Jian looked around again. Except for some tenacious and dry weeds, there was not even a single figure here, which could be said to be a wilderness. However, Wu Jian still saw that the signs of human activities were still very clear. An old man came over every day and sighed. Following this trace, Wu Jian walked over.

After walking for a while, Wu Jian saw a small village and estimated that it was not far from the city.

At the entrance of the village, an old man was sitting there basking in the sun (guessed). Not far away, there was a little boy doing something, but his back was facing Wu Jian, and Wu Jian was too lazy to see what he was doing.

Seeing Wu Jian and Xiao Rou, two people who looked like nobles, walked up slowly, the old man stood up slowly, but Wu Jian could see that the old man was alerting them. It seemed that the nobles in this world were also notorious.

"grandfather!"

The little boy ran over, and the old man hugged him all at once. Wu Jian could see that the little boy was a little scared, but no matter how scared he was, he revealed in his eyes that if Wu Jian dared to do anything, he would bite him unceremoniously.

When he walked to the old man, Wu Jian started to speak first, "Old man, we were out for a trip and forgot to bring some food. Can we sell us something?"

At this time, people would actually go out to play in such places? And the couple who didn't bring anything, were they running away from home? The old man speculated for a moment, but also cursed in his heart - this is the noble.

"Sir, please wait here first, the old man will go and get it now."

The rare food is not something you can buy with money. Although the old man was reluctant, he still walked back slowly to get the food, otherwise he would not know what would happen.

After the elderly and children left, Wu Jian swept the whole village and found that there were only some people left here that could not move, but the weak, women and children, but the signs of life indicate that the labor force still lives here, and it may be that something big has left today or tomorrow.

Wu Jian waited for a while and walked into the village, but after Wu Jian and Xiaorou walked to the village, they might be a gathering place, they happened to meet the elderly and children holding a few steamed buns and other things in their hands.

"Sir!? I actually want to take it myself. I deserve to die if I am guilty!"

The old man said in fear and fear, and kept bowing as he spoke.

"Old man, it's okay. I just happened to want to sit here. Please sit there too."

Wu Jian took the lead in sitting on a stone chair. The old man quickly handed over the food he was holding and said, "Sir, I have only this in my family..."

The old man served food with both hands in panic, lowered his head and trembled slightly, for fear that Wu Jian would be dissatisfied.

But Wu Jian was not here to eat, so why would he be dissatisfied? After taking two, Wu Jian threw one of them backwards, and Xiaorou hurriedly took them over. Then Wu Jian turned his hand and a golden coin appeared in his hand and threw it to the old man.

The old man dared not be negligent. After he took it in a panic, he showed a panic expression and trembled his hands again to present coins.

"Sir, it's just two steamed buns, not worth so much!"

"You just accept it. Anyway, this kind of thing is like a stone on the roadside to me. And I have questions to ask you."

Wu Jian tore open the steamed buns and plays with them in his mouth little by little, ignoring his trembling hands. After holding on for a while, seeing Wu Jian’s expression that he would not accept it anymore, the old man no longer forced himself. Instead, he properly packed the gold coins and said to Wu Jian: "Sir, ask if you have anything to do, I will definitely answer."

"Then I ask you, is this your staple food? - I'm talking about it all the time."

"Yes, we have grown up with this kind of crop for generations, and we can only grow this kind of thing here. If the harvest is good, we can still make decent food. However, the drought this year is too severe, so we can only use stocks to make this kind of easy-to-preserve food. Adults, isn't this to your liking?"

The old man made a tremolo. In fact, it was impossible to take this kind of thing out for the nobles to eat without asking. He thought Wu Jian wanted to blame him for this, which scared him so much that his knees weakened. However, he did not fall down or kneel down. He only felt something soft was supporting him, but he would not understand what was going on.

"It's really not to your appetite." Wu Jian answered honestly, then threw the steamed bun that had only torn off a small part of it to the little boy who was looking at him with his fingers in his mouth, and said, "Give it to you."

Since it was the food given by the noble master, the sensible little boy was not polite and grabbed it and ate it. Faced with Wu Jian's actions, the old man who had a heart attack almost didn't care about the child.

Seeing the old man's inner activities at the moment, Wu Jian immediately asked: "I have another question, you must answer honestly. What else do you plant besides this kind of crop?"

"There are also spices and fruit trees, but even the harvest is very small, so they are all... handed over." The old man replied hurriedly.

"Well, take out some of the things you planted - they should have left seeds, right? And all the food you eat, whether it is plants or meat, take out some of them, just a little. I have something to ask you. These are the rewards for answering my questions."

After saying that, Wu Jian pretended to take out a purse from behind and handed it to the old man. After taking the heavy purse, although the old man was prepared, he still had a golden light flash after opening it. He let go of his hand when he was not careful, and the golden coins also spilled all over the floor.

"This! This!"

The old man's breathing began to be rapid. He had never seen so many gold coins. Or he had never seen gold coins before. When he thought of him taking so many gold coins into his hands and throwing them down, the old man's heart was beating wildly. However, with Wu Jianzai, nothing would happen to him. However, he was afraid that something would happen to him, so Wu Jian asked him to prepare the things first and the gold coins would be left on the ground first.

"...that, did you change this?"

Xiaorou, who had never left Wu Jian, even if she had changed her clothes (although she was still played with), knew very well that Wu Jian had no gold coins on her body, so how did these gold coins come from? Could it be some kind of trick?

"...even if this is what I transformed, it is still a real gold."

This was the first time Xiaorou had taken the initiative to talk to Wu Jian except for "yes" (except when we met). Wu Jian could see that Xiaorou was worried about the old man, and Wu Jian's words to Xiao Rou became much softer.

Soon, the old man summoned all the old men and grandmas to take out all the things. Seeing these old men walking as fast as they were carrying things, Wu Jian shook his head with a smile.

"Big, sir."

They were always old, and the old people were already breathing when they put things in front of Wu Jian, and some even twisted their waists.

Afterwards, Wu Jian started asking questions, mainly about the situations of the things they planted, such as pests, weeds, and ecology. Regarding carnivore, it is about catching animals and fish, where to live, and some ecological questions. There are also things in the wild that are useful to them and what are harmful to them. Although they will not get any professional answers, the answers from all the people who have paid for survival are enough to let Wu Jian understand. And some of them have physical objects in front of them.

"For this reason, thank you. Let's go."

After asking the questions he wanted to ask, Wu Jian left as soon as he said he could, regardless of how they distributed the gold coins. However, when he reached the entrance of the village, the old man before called Wu Jian.

"Sir, can I ask a question?"

"Ask." Wu Jian said with his back to the old man.

"Sir... are you here to investigate?"

What to investigate? The old man did not explain, and naturally the civilians in this world did not have any concept of ecological investigation.

Wu Jian turned his head, looked at the old man and asked, "Where have the young people here gone?"

"This, this..." The old man took a few steps back as if he was scared. He lowered his head a little, not daring to look at Wu Jian. However, after thinking about it, he seemed to have made up some decision and looked at Wu Jian and said, "A few days ago, a foreigner came to our village. When I was young, I went to a big city. The accent of that person looked very similar to the foreigners I had met. Then... the children in our village are all good children. They were deceived because they were sad this year! So adults must save them!"

Wu Jian already knew what the old man was saying from the man before. However, he did not give any guarantee, just looked ahead and said, "I didn't decide this."

After saying that, Wu Jian actually knelt down and left without looking back. Xiaorou looked at the old man and looked at Wu Jian again. In the end, she wanted to help the old man and followed Wu Jian - she couldn't do anything.
