Zi Yang looked at half a plate of pine nuts on the plate and the pine nut shells piled on the table. He looked at the squirrel Xiao Qi and asked: "Xiao Qi, are you full?"
Squirrel Xiaoqi nodded at him, and then he picked up the remaining pine nuts and put them into Ziyang's hands one by one.
Obviously, it wanted Ziyang to hold it for it first, and then ask him for it when it was hungry.
"I really wonder how she educated you? You know how to save too much." Seeing its behavior, Zi Yang couldn't help but praise it.
Just as Ziyang was packing up the pine nuts and preparing to leave, Chu Dacai came over.
Zi Yang glanced at him and asked casually: "Are you okay?"
Chu Dacai smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to tell you something. Otherwise, I'm afraid you might misunderstand."
If he hadn't gone into the same tavern, he wouldn't have needed to explain it clearly to Ziyang, but now that he had bumped into each other, he had to tell him the reason, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.
Zi Yang sat on the bench with a smile and said directly: "I know what you are going to say. You want to talk about the three of you acting together, right?"
"That's it." Chu Dacai sat down on a bench nearby and said with a wry smile: "You may not know that this is not the first time we have deceived people, but the night pearls sold are not fake."
Zi Yang said calmly: "Is authenticity so important? This cannot cover up the fact that you are lying. The real Night Pearl may make you feel better."
Chu Dacai nodded and said: "Indeed, lying is my bottom line. If Ye Mingzhu is fake again, then I will really no longer be a human being."
Squirrel Xiaoqi sat on the table and listened for a while, then suddenly stared at Chu Dacai with gritted teeth, his eyes full of anger.
Ziyang hurriedly said to it: "Xiao Qi, what are you doing? Everyone has their own difficulties, and it's not easy for them either."
Chu Dacai looked at the angry squirrel Xiaoqi, leaned back, and said to Ziyang: "This squirrel of yours seems to be very spiritual. Can it understand a little bit of what we just said?"
"Its owner is not me," Ziyang saw that Squirrel Xiaoqi was still angry, and said, "Actually, the reason why you are acting together is to sell out the Night Pearl as soon as possible. As long as the Night Pearl is real, it doesn't matter whether you lie to others or not. .”
"Besides, you sold me a luminous pearl for a hundred spiritual source stones, but I feel like I made a profit."
Having said this, Chu Dacai nodded with a smile and said: "That's right! The value of the Night Pearl is about five hundred spiritual source stones. It's almost winter. We are worried that we won't be able to sell it, so we acted like that. The purpose of the show is to sell out the Luminous Pearl as soon as possible so that I can go home with the Origin Stone."
He sighed and said helplessly: "You are in the Western Continent. You should understand the current situation. There are many forces, large and small, and chaos is inevitable."
"Although people in Qingyun City don't have to worry about food and clothing, there are also some remote places where even eating is difficult."
"We came out just to make a living. Alas! It's hard to survive in troubled times. Once a war breaks out, I don't know how many people will die."
Zi Yang said calmly: "It's not easy for you to survive. There are so many forces in the Western Continent. Wouldn't it be safe to join them?"
Chu Dacai replied: "That being said, I grew up in the mountains. My parents died when I was five years old. It was Aunt Wang in the village who brought me up."
"besides
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, the folks in the village are all very kind to me. If I abandon them and ignore them, what difference will I make to an animal? "
Squirrel Xiaoqi, who was originally quiet, immediately widened his beast eyes and glared at him when he heard his words.
Chu Dacai hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "No, no, no, I'm not talking about you."
Ziyang rubbed Squirrel Xiaoqi's head and said: "War will come sooner or later. Without strength, let alone protecting others, you can't even protect yourself."
Chu Dacai lamented: "There is no way. My own strength is limited and I can't stop it at all. I can only do what I should do when the war comes."
There are many top forces in a continent. Even though they are in peace now, if the balance is lost, the whole situation will be completely chaotic.
Since they are cultivating their own power, they must be waiting for the opportunity to have the strength to compete for territory in the future, and even dominate the entire Western Continent.
Not only Ziyang saw this, but Chu Dacai also saw it, and even the common people in the Western Continent knew it well.
Zi Yang smiled and asked: "In your opinion, among the forces in the Western Continent, are there any really good people?"
Without even thinking about it, Chu Dacai said immediately: "Yes! Although I don't know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy now, as long as there is a war, I will naturally be able to see their true colors."
"Currently, all forces are recruiting monks. There are many people who need to eat. Now they can't see the civilians suffering from the disaster, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to see them in the future."
"Besides, a wealthy chamber of commerce like the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce that is making a lot of money every day is short of Origin Stones. It is conceivable that other forces must be like this, or even worse."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yang asked with interest: "Oh? How did you know that the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce was short of Origin Stones?"
Chu Dacai said in detail: "It's very simple. If you want to join the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce, you have to give them the Origin Stone. Doesn't this mean that the Origin Stone in their hands is scarce?"
"Some weak sects not only join for free, but also beg you to join them. Look at the Huangkong Chamber of Commerce. The chamber of commerce that is most in need of Origin Stones in the Western Continent is like this, and other forces are even more lacking in Origin Stones. "
"Although I have never joined a sect to practice, I understand that cultivating geniuses, purchasing elixirs, weapons, etc. are the most important things that require the Origin Stone."
Zi Yang asked casually: "Do you want to see war?"
Chu Dacai's eyes were firm and he said: "Think! I have been thinking about it in my dreams. Without war, there will be no change. No matter which side wins the final victory, the Western Continent will definitely usher in change."
"Only in that way can ordinary people live a good life. What I experienced when I was a child, I don't want the next generation, or even my descendants, to be the same as me."
"Even if many people will die if we do that, I still hope that day can come soon, because that kind of thing is inevitable."
Zi Yang smiled and said: "You have to understand that when the real war comes, you will not be able to protect yourself and you will probably die."
Chu Dacai said directly: "It doesn't matter whether I die or not. I have only one wish. The living people can live a better life. This is enough."
Even though he is not at a high level, what he said just now made Ziyang look at him with admiration. Chu Dacai is by no means the only person in the Western Continent who can have such thoughts. I believe there are many others who also think like him. Same idea.
Especially those ordinary people, they don't want to live a good life, but they don't want to live a good life.

, with the current situation in the Western Continent, they don’t know who to support.
Seeing Chu Dacai chatting with the young man in loose clothes for a long time, Chu Dafu slowly walked over and said, "Dacai, what are you talking about here?"
Chu Dacai smiled and replied: "Nothing, just a casual chat."
Chu Dafu sat on the bench, looked at the squirrel Xiaoqi, then looked at Ziyang, and said with a smile: "It is really smart."
Ziyang looked at the squirrel Xiaoqi on the table with a smile and said, "It can understand some words and understand some truth, but it just can't speak."
Hearing his words, Squirrel Xiaoqi became a little unconvinced. He stared at him with a pair of animal eyes and started to squeak, and his two front paws were also moving.
Ziyang rubbed its back and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, stop squeaking. No matter how squeaking you are, I won't understand what you are saying."
The squirrel Xiaoqi squeaked for a while, then stretched out his front paws towards Ziyang, as if asking for something from him.
Because it had just eaten, it naturally didn't ask him for pine nuts, so only the night pearl was left.
Ziyang also guessed it, and immediately put the night pearl on its front paws. Squirrel Xiaoqi ran aside with the night pearl in his arms, and went to play by himself.
Chu Dafu was stunned and said: "Dacai, is this true? I can't believe it. This is the first time I have seen such a smart squirrel."
Chu Dacai said: "It's not just you, it's also the first time I've seen such a humane animal."
Chu Dafu looked at Zi Yang and said with a smile, "By the way, where did you find this squirrel? I want to find one too."
Zi Yang smiled and said: "Its owner is not me, I just took it out to play."
Chu Dacai looked at the slightly disappointed Chu Dafu and said, "You might as well forget it. I don't know how many years I have to discipline such a well-behaved and sensible squirrel."
"You have to understand that its IQ is almost the same as ours."
"Yes. It's not easy to train such a squirrel." Chu Dafu looked at Chu Dacai and said: "Dacai, we are already in our twenties. Now that we have the Origin Stone in our hands, we should think about the major events in life when we go back. ”
As soon as he said this, Chu Dacai pulled him to his feet, said a few words to Zi Yang, and then took him away.
Chu Dafu said: "No, why are you pulling me? Isn't what I said wrong?"
Chu Dacai whispered: "We can just talk about this kind of thing in private. He looks like a teenager. It's not good if he hears it."
In order to avoid this topic, he had to say: "By the way, why has Gushan not come back after being out for so long?"
Chu Dafu said indifferently: "Don't worry about him. What can happen to him? He wants to reach the sky in one step, and we don't agree with his idea. Maybe he is still angry with us."
Chu Dacai looked at the people coming and going at the door of the tavern, shook his head and said: "What he thinks is not necessarily wrong. I'm afraid that I won't learn my skills by then, and I will put the Origin Stone in for nothing."
Chu Dafu praised the passage: "Isn't it true? We have been through life and death in exchange for the Origin Stone. I think it is really not worth it to use it to enter the Royal Sky Chamber of Commerce."
"Besides, Gushan didn't say how many Origin Stones are needed just now. Since he didn't say, the number of Origin Stones is definitely indispensable."
Chu Dacai nodded slowly. The three of them grew up together and their personalities were very clear to each other.
