Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 97 Aftermath 1
The weather in autumn and winter is not always sunny.

The sky is very gloomy today.The sky was covered with overcast clouds, the ends of which seemed to be connected to the mountains in the distance.Obviously it is such a gloomy sky, but somehow I know that it will not rain in this weather.Looking at this kind of sky for a while, you get an ominous feeling that something bad is about to happen.

However, the days in the Xia Ruins were business as usual.

When Xia An came back today, he was humming a song.Not the kind of serious song, but can only be called "unknown minor".Even if he tried to figure it out with his toes, Xia An definitely earned it today.

Traveling merchants are actually very dependent on luck, and the phrase "one can't get rich without windfall" is actually very suitable for traveling merchants.In fact, as said before, traveling merchant is a very dangerous profession, but it is also a profession with many opportunities.

"Master Zhang Cheng," he called towards Zhang Cheng's room. "Several new caravans have come, are you interested in taking a look?"

He saw that Zhang Cheng seemed to be interested in many things, so he visited almost all the stalls of the merchants in the trade area before (and killed the Chang Rong by the way).So he would be interested to know the news.

"Well, let's go have a look." Zhang Cheng replied in the room.

"Hey, you don't look very good today." Xia An noticed something, but didn't think too much about it. "Stayed in the room for a day."

Although it was a little rude, he did feel that Zhang Cheng was a little different today than in the past.Of course, I have to say it again, so Duan Duan suddenly slept in the room for a day, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong.You must know that this is not the kind of gorgeous mansion of the nobles, where you can have a lot of entertainment without leaving home, nor is it that the information society is technologically developed, and you can have a good time in a small room of five square meters with a mobile phone.

"It's okay..." Zhang Cheng replied.Of course this is just talk.Although it is true that he slept hard, his physical weakness still exists.From the panel point of view, the current physical condition has only returned to about two-thirds of normal.However, Zhang Cheng also knew that Xia An would be suspicious if he continued to stay in the room.

"Hey, this is..." Xia An noticed the little bear following Zhang Cheng.This was the first time he saw the little bear. The previous little bears were hidden in Zhang Cheng's mind.

"I picked it up, it's very cute." Zhang Cheng said.At the same time, he picked up the bear with his hands.

It is said that cubs often give people the wrong impression. For example, a small tiger looks like a cat, and a small bear looks like a puppy.

Jia takes care of the horses in the yard.In other words, Zhang Cheng now understands the benefits of having a follower like Jia, because Jia is very active and can handle all kinds of chores very well without any orders.

And another advantage is that he doesn't talk much.At least Xia An didn't know about Zhang Cheng going out last night.

Following Xia An, it didn't take long to reach the trade area.Indeed, compared to the day before yesterday, there seemed to be more businessmen.Not only the traveling merchants, but even those caravans that have gathered together seem to have a few more.

But today's Zhang Cheng doesn't actually have much interest in shopping.As before, he asked if there are any cards like yours for sale, but these merchants may come from different places, and there is no such thing.He doesn't need anything else.However, a few caravans that had just arrived attracted Xia An's attention, and the two separated without knowing it.

A little surprised, Zhang Cheng saw a familiar face.

It was the boy who was attacked by the ogre before.

The last time, it was Zhang Cheng who rescued him—and later got a useless jade pendant from the boy.

In fact, the age of Zhang Cheng's body is the grade of a high school student, and it is definitely a teenager on earth, and this teenager is even younger, about the level of a junior high school student.He has set up a stall on the ground at this moment, and the goods in the stall are not much different from what Zhang Cheng saw last time.However, the details seem to have changed.

Strange to say, it seems to be all kinds of bits and pieces picked up from the ruins, but some people also buy them.Zhang Cheng vaguely remembered that he had seen several stone carving fragments in his cargo, but these fragments are now gone.Could it be bought by someone?By the way, does anyone buy this kind of shit?
Coincidentally, just as Zhang Cheng was looking at it, a guest came.It was a tall, burly man with a ferocious face, carrying a weapon with him.The strong man looked a little familiar. He should not be a buyer in the market, but a guard of a certain caravan or something.But this does not affect his shopping.His gaze rested on a small stone sculpture.Not sure what that is exactly, but it looks nice.I saw the strong man stretched out his hand to pick up the sculpture from the ground, turned around and left.

The young man shouted, but the brawny man ignored it, and instead looked at the other party with a very vicious look.Although he didn't speak, his expression was clearly "Get out of the way, I'll kill you if you dare to collect money".Because the young man shrank obviously in the next moment, he could only maintain the posture of wanting to pull people, but did not dare to take any further action.

Zhang Cheng looked at everything coldly.To be honest, he was in such a bad state today that he didn't want to intervene, but he still subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of Hanguang's sword.

The big man took two steps, and a companion had come to him.He was smiling and saying something to his companion, but when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Cheng.

The big man's smile immediately stiffened.

He looked left and right, and the noisy atmosphere around him seemed to suddenly quiet down.Even the companion who was walking side by side with him just now was unknowingly separated from him by such a small distance.

A lot of eyes are looking towards this side, some of them are curious, some are gloating, some are purely eating melons and other watching dramas, and some are full of joy.But no matter which look it is, it seems that it does not intend to intervene.In fact, not only these strangers, the companion just now obviously did not intend to intervene.

The big man's throat rolled inconspicuously, and then he immediately turned his head and returned to the boy.After paying the money in a proper manner, he turned around and left.Even Zhang Chengcheng felt inexplicable.

"You scared them last time." Little Bear said suddenly.

"Me?" Zhang Cheng asked in confusion.

"Didn't you kill that Chang Rong? Ah, you seem to call them 'Ogres'? That's a bad name," Xiao Xiong commented. "Actually they don't eat people, at least they don't eat people when there are other foods."

"I killed that ogre..." Zhang Cheng knew that the last fight was actually for himself.What kind of virtue is that ogre, I have seen it many times in the game - anyway, sooner or later, the protection fee will be received on my head, so it is better to fight sooner rather than later.Facts have also proved this.

"They think you're a ranger," Bear continued. "The kind of chivalrous person who kills one person in ten steps without leaving a thousand miles."

Hello, this sentence is the famous sentence of "Xia Ke Xing". When did I say this poem and was remembered by the bear?
"Uh..." Zhang finally felt that the misunderstanding was serious.But he still went to the boy's booth.

The big guy just gave the money, I can't see how much, but it's definitely not much.Of course, no one can see that this kind of thing can't be sold at a high price, and even some bits and pieces make people think that no one will buy it at all.

It was not very early at this time, and more than one stall had already started to pack up and prepare to leave.

"How much can you sell in a day like this?" Zhang Cheng asked in confusion.

The teenager held out a small bag with trembling hands, and gave it to Zhang Cheng with trembling hands.

"I don't want money." Zhang Cheng sighed in his heart.Sure enough, making a living is not easy, this is the fear of being bullied. "I'm just asking casually."

"A dozen...beards." The young man was a little surprised, and his eyes became a little sparkling for some reason.

"So much?" Zhang Cheng sighed again.He has been here for a long time, so he knows how much value the dick is worth.Xiabei is almost the change in RMB. It is not clear whether it is equivalent to one yuan or five cents or even one cent.To eat a meal in this place, even if it is a very ordinary meal (according to the standards of this world), there is no meat and fishy kind, and it will cost a dozen scallops.

"Why do you want to be a businessman with so little income?" In this world, this is not a respectable profession.

I don't know why, when the young man heard this sentence, he immediately dropped "the man doesn't cry easily", picked up "it's just that he didn't get to the sad part", and actually started to cry right here.

Almost all the people around turned their attention towards this direction.

Although reason told Zhang Cheng that it was nothing at all, the subconscious reaction still made him scrambling. "That... don't cry... don't cry, speak slowly..."

The boy's name is Bu, as for the surname... Of course, commoners and slaves don't have a "shi", and even a surname may not exist.And this young man is the type without a surname, and even more tragic, he is a fugitive slave.The most tragic thing is that shortly after arriving here, both parents died for some reason, leaving only him and his sister.Two incapable children.

Yes, although it doesn't look like it, he is indeed a member of the community under Nanling's rule.

As mentioned earlier, the Xia Ruins, especially the city under the rule of Nanling, are like the legendary "Pleasure Land" to the slaves.But the problem is that even if it is a paradise, backward social productivity and limited resources also determine that the welfare here is not good. "Those who do not work shall not eat" is the general rule. Although the two orphans will be left with a bite of food in the community, they will not starve to death, but they are not directly starved to death, and wanting to be full is wishful thinking.

The only thing the teenager can do is to do everything possible to get a little more food for himself and his sister.

Although such stories are often seen on earth, some people can even walk a path of inspiration.But even in a civilized society on Earth, with various information conveniences and various safe environments, such people are rare.

Long-term starvation and semi-starvation can cause great harm to people. The so-called "disease caused by starvation" is by no means an empty phrase.Boo's sister is ill, and the adults around her are judging that she won't have much time to live.

If it is on earth, it is estimated that the welfare workers of the country will try their best to supplement nutrition for little girls.But in this world, the idea of ​​the person in charge is to reduce the original food for the little girl.Because since you seem to be dead, to give you more food would be a waste of precious food.The community has just stabilized, and there is a lot to be done, and any waste is shameful.

A very utilitarian and very direct idea, which directly determines the fate of the two children.Just like in nature, it is basically impossible for cubs who have lost their parents to survive.

The burden of protecting his sister fell on the boy.He has tried his best, but unfortunately, whether it's his sister's condition or his own physiology and psychology, they have reached the limit.

Some things are just impossible!Just what you can't do!It doesn't matter how hard you try, it's useless even if you squeeze every bit of your potential, it's useless even if you don't do anything, it's useless if you can't do it.Like a man trying to move a hundred tons of stones, or a frail teenager trying to support his sister.

Zhang Cheng had to admit that he was also moved.After all, the moral values ​​of civilized society and barbarian society are different.However, after staying in the information age for a long time, Zhang Cheng has also seen a scam that sells miserably, so he still has some doubts in his heart.

"Where did you get these things... from?"

The cloth clearly stated that it was excavated from the ground.Under the Xia Ruins, there are ruins left by the ancient Xia Dynasty, and there is even a dungeon. He excavated some relics from those places.Although Zhang Cheng doesn't understand why anyone is interested in this garbage.However, Bu said that he found his way to the dungeon in places such as ancient tombs.

Zhang Cheng told him clearly that this approach was too dangerous, because there were ghouls in the dungeon.

Although these ghouls are not a threat to the inhabitants of the ground, if you go underground, it is completely different.Guessing from the wizards keeping ghouls, those guys weren't easy to mess with.In fact, in the game, if it weren't for the dark cloak of invisibility and the sword of light, the dungeon in the first act would be an extremely difficult battle.To deal with each ghoul must do a good save.

The most troublesome thing is that this thing runs faster than the player... Without oil on the soles of your feet, you basically can't escape even if you lose.

Zhang Chengke didn't think that the cloth in front of him could outrun a ghoul.

To his surprise, in this regard, Bo said it was perfectly fine.Because he could hear the movements of the ghouls.

Yes, according to him, he has a very keen hearing, and can detect whether there are ghouls in the ground on the ground, so as to avoid ghouls accurately.

This is also a special ability of young people.However, this aspect is actually quite normal. Scientists on Earth have studied that many children have "super hearing" and can hear frequencies that adults cannot hear.

In the next instant, Zhang Chengcheng thought of an idea.

"Bu, I can help you heal your sister," he looked at the teenager in front of him. "But, you have to do one thing for me!"
