At this moment, Zhang Chu realized something was wrong, the children were starving!
The old village chief asked worriedly: "Sir, where are Qingshan and Little Putao?"
"They will come back later. Little Putao and Qingshan have their own destiny." Zhang Chu said.
The old village chief breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!"
Zhang Chu looked around and found that several adult hunters were injured.
Although several adult hunters tried their best to cover up and shouted sir at Zhang Chu from a distance, Zhang Chu still felt that they had been beaten and their injuries were not serious.
Zhang Chu's face darkened.
"Who beat you?" Zhang Chu asked.
The old village chief said hurriedly: "Sir, we will talk about these things later."
Zhang Chu looked around again: "Where is our unicorn, the ancient silver elephant?"
The old village chief's expression became helpless: "Hey, they were all taken away."
"Been robbed?" Zhang Chu's face turned ugly.
The old village chief whispered: "Sir, eat first and speak slowly."
At this time, Zhang Chu looked at the women cooking not far away and found that although the women's faces were happy, they had very little food in their hands, only weed seeds.
In the past, these things could not be used as rations at all.
As for the dried meat, I didn’t see it at all.
Zhang Chu knew in his heart that something must have happened.
You know, when the village was sealed off, Zhang Chu asked Tong Qingshan and the others to hunt a lot of big animals. The meat they had stored could not be eaten even if the village was sealed off for three years.
But now, there is no meat.
Soon, Zhang Chu and the old village chief sat down.
The old village chief knew Zhang Chu's character. Without Zhang Chu asking, he sighed and recounted his experiences during this period.
"When Mr. Qingshan and Qingshan just left, the village was fine. Mr. Mo and Mo Xi were there. We didn't mess with others, and others didn't mess with us."
"Later, Mr. Mo said that Mo Xi's cultivation level was low and he could not stay in the Demon Ruins for too long, otherwise he would be contaminated, so they left."
"Before leaving, I left a mechanical wood wolf to protect our village."
Zhang Chu nodded. For Mr. Mo and the two of them, Zhang Chu was only grateful and would not resent them for leaving.
It is impossible for people to let Mo Xi be polluted in order to protect Zaoye Village.
What's more, they also left a backup plan for Zaoye Village, which was very considerate.
And the most important thing is that Mo Xi once even wasted an opportunity to enter a new path and went to give Zhang Chu the Soul Condensation Pearl.
Therefore, Zhang Chu could only feel grateful to Mr. Mo and his grandson.
Zhang Chu asked: "What happened next?"
At this time, the old village chief said: "Later, conflicts broke out among the surrounding small villages."
"Why?" Zhang Chu asked.
"There's not enough food!" The old village chief sighed: "Many small villages don't store a lot of rations like us. The rations they store themselves are not enough for even a month."
"Without food, they had no choice but to borrow food from other villages at first. If they couldn't borrow food, they had no choice but to rob it if they didn't want to starve to death."
Zhang Chuze frowned: "Isn't there a large wasteland near Chuixing City? I have seen that there are many prey in that wasteland."
The old village chief shook his head: "That is the hunting ground of Chuixing City. People from the big city are not allowed to hunt in the surrounding small villages."
"Where is our village? What's going on?" Zhang Chu asked.
At this time, the old village chief said: "When I saw something was wrong, I told the villagers to use less meat in cooking from now on, be low-key, and pretend that we are also short of food."
Zhang Chu nodded. Among a group of hungry ghosts, not showing off your wealth is the basic way to survive.
However, the old village chief said with a bitter look on his face: "But the good times did not last long. Some surrounding villages found that no one in our village went out to grab food. They judged that our village had surplus food, so someone came to our village to grab it."
"At the beginning, the wooden wolves that Mr. Mo left behind were very powerful. They killed several groups of people who wanted to invade. Many villages did not dare to provoke us."
"But then..." The old village chief said with an ugly face: "Someone came from the big city and said they were interested in our trap wood wolf. They dropped two taels of gold and took the trap wolf away."
When Zhang Chu heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "There is someone coming from the big city!"
When the old village chief saw Zhang Chu getting angry, he hurriedly said: "Sir, don't be angry. We can't afford to offend people from the big city!"
"That man can fly!"
Zhang Chu immediately understood that, under normal circumstances, to be able to fly, one must at least be in the Life Spring realm.
There are very few people like Zhang Chu, Xiao Putao, and Tong Qingshan who can fly in the realm of fate.
The people who can fly are not the aborigines of the Great Demon City at all, but people from outside sects who recruit disciples.
"These mountain gates are really good. Shouldn't they be aloof? How could they even rob the machine beasts in our small village!" Zhang Chu said indifferently.
The old village chief sighed: "Hey, maybe the machine wood wolf is too powerful. It injured several people in the big city before it was finally taken away by a woman."
Next to him, Tong Qingyu had a look of pain on his face: "What a shame, we are too weak to intervene!"
The old village chief sighed: "Thanks to the protection of the Vine God, the people in the big city did not kill our village completely, but they snatched away the wooden wolf that was the mechanism."
Zhang Chu nodded. He knew Teng Su's character. If anyone dared to hurt Little Putao, Teng Su would definitely teach him a lesson.
However, Fujisu will not care about the life and death of ordinary villagers.
In Fujisu's eyes, all the villagers are no different from small fish in the pond. If you bite me today and I bite you tomorrow, they are not worthy of attention.
Only Little Grape can't bear the slightest injustice.
And Teng Su's willingness to protect the villagers once was considered a great honor to Xiao Putao.
"Where's Cang Ai?" At this time, Zhang Chu thought of the old turtle and the green-billed crow, but he didn't see them now.
Moreover, Zhang Chu discovered that the green spring water had no aura at all and was no different from ordinary water.
At this time, the old village chief sighed: "Cang Ai was injured. He was injured by people from the big city."
"It said that it was afraid that people would covet the purple gold Tai Sui in the spring, so it temporarily hid it. We don't know where it is hidden."
"As for the green-billed crow, it was listed as a sure-to-kill target by several bandits because of its swearing, and it ran away for its life."
"It said it didn't want to implicate us, and now it has escaped to who knows where."
Zhang Chu felt cold in his heart. It seemed that Zaoye Village had suffered a lot of grievances during this period.
The trap wolf left behind by Mr. Mo was taken away and Cang Ai disappeared. In fact, Zhang Chu could imagine what happened next without the old village chief having to tell him.
There is little fighting power in the small village and there is no shortage of food. Wouldn't it just become fat meat in the eyes of others?
As the old village chief talked about this, the children also remembered sad things.
At this time, Huzi said angrily: "Sir, those people are too bullying. There are many of them, they came to our village and took away all our meat."
Another child said: "They also robbed our elephants and unicorns, woo woo hoo, the white elephant was eaten by them."
"They also said that our village has no ability and can only eat the seeds of weeds. These seeds were secretly picked up by the aunts outside at night."
At this time, Zhang Chu looked at the women not far away. Bai Jie, Bai Ruolan, and the women from the White Tea Village were all busy making fire and cooking. Their complexions were much worse and they looked very haggard.
The old village chief sighed: "Hey, it's all thanks to them these days."
"People in big cities don't allow men to go to the wilderness, saying that men will poach if they go to the wilderness. They only allow women to collect some weed seeds and come back to cook porridge."
Zhang Chu glanced at them from a distance and nodded, indicating that he understood their difficulties.
Bai Ruolan, Bai Jie and the others showed happy expressions on their faces. They worked hard without complaining, just hoping to get Zhang Chu's approval.
Now, Zhang Chu noticed them, and they felt sweet in their hearts, feeling that the hardships during this period were not in vain.
At this moment, Zhang Chu's heart moved, he opened the mustard bag and took out the body of an ancient donkey.
This is the donkey corpse that Xiaoyue Zijinlang killed, and its internal organs are still warm.
When everyone saw Zhang Chu taking out such a big donkey, they suddenly became excited.
"Sir, you went hunting on Xinlu!" the old village chief asked in surprise.
Zhang Chuze said: "Peel the skin, put it in the pot, cook the meat, add the best spices, and cook the most fragrant meat."
The old village chief's expression froze: "Sir, this... this will attract wolves."
Zhang Chu's eyes turned cold: "If you attract wolves, then kill them!"
Unless masters from Dacheng came to Zaoye Village, Zhang Chu could kill these so-called masters from the surrounding villages with just one slap.
Because in Yaoxu, local villagers cannot exceed the realm of life well.
As for whether it will lead to the masters of the big city...
Certainly not!
After all, everyone is just eating a donkey.
The small villages outside Chuixing City are short of resources and are almost starving, but they have no worries about food and drink in the big city. It is impossible for people to come and compete with small villages for some donkey meat. That would be too cheap.
Unless they know that this is purebred donkey meat with ancient bloodline!
Soon, the fragrance overflowed and spread far away.
The children haven't eaten meat for a long time, and all of them stared blankly and kept swallowing their saliva.
In addition to being happy, the adults also had a hint of worry in their eyes.
Especially for many women, the fear of others coming to snatch them is clearly written on their faces.
During this time, I was afraid of being robbed.
Bai Ruolan and Bai Jie, on the other hand, looked very calm, as if they were sure that as long as their husband was here, everything would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy footsteps at the entrance of the village, and then a voice came:
"Hahaha, brothers, come quickly, we found it. The smell is coming from Zaoye Village. They are cooking meat!"
"Damn it, these people really know how to hide."
"I haven't had a taste of meat for half a month, and today I can finally eat meat!"
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen middle-aged men with strong builds and strong builds appeared at the entrance of Zaoye Village.
These people looked at the large pots in Zaoye Village with greed in their eyes.
