The moonlight was streaming down from the window, and Feifan was lying on the hard wooden bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
"What's wrong? Extraordinary. Is the bed too hard? Can't you sleep?"
Sleeping next to him was Dick, who was looking at Bufan with interest.
"No, I just heard what the old lady said and I felt that the war-torn world is too cruel, but if we want to change it, what should we do?"
"Well, the war has only brought disasters. Saiyan Village is still doing well now. After all, Bit City already has a new city owner. But the world is very big. As far as I know, there are still many people who are in the heat of water. .
Therefore, only by becoming a strong person can you have the right to speak and realize your wishes. Bufan," having said this, Dick sat up and said to Bufan with a serious face, "Become the strongest, be the maker of rules, and formulate your ideal order. "
Regarding Dick's Chicken Soup for the Soul, Bufan was not interested at all. He said speechlessly: "This dream is too beautiful, but it is unrealistic. Your Church of Light is known as one of the four major organizations in mainland China, so it can't change anything, right?" Don’t mention me, a little swordsman.”
"Hey, if you have dreams, you will have a future, right?"
Bufan rolled his eyes helplessly, but he did feel a lot more relaxed. As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can only benefit yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. I, a little swordsman, actually have a headache for the rules of this world. Isn't that just unreasonable and worrying?
If you want to change the world, wait until you become stronger!
"Actually," Dick suddenly scratched his head and said, "My doubts haven't been resolved today?"
"Doubts? What doubts? Didn't you ask grandma before?"
"It's a question. Maybe I didn't express it clearly enough. What I wanted to ask was whether there were any missing people in the past few years. But what she told me was about the past of this Saiyan village."
"Well, I think maybe you didn't express it clearly enough. How about you continue tomorrow?"
"It's okay to continue, but I also got some important information from the past in Seiya Village, but it needs to be verified to know whether it is useful. Go as planned tomorrow. You and Dar will go to El Village first, and I will After getting to know the old lady in detail with Geno and Senior Sister Xia, we went to Litang Village to investigate whether anyone has disappeared in the past few years. What kind of people are they? What are their characteristics? Regardless of the result or not, at the end of the afternoon the day after tomorrow Let’s meet at the village of Reike. How about that?”
"Ok, no problem."
****
The next day, before dawn, Bufan and Dar said goodbye to the old woman and set off.
According to the plan, they will go to El Village to investigate.
El Village is located southeast of Saiyan Village, about ten kilometers away.
The two of them walked along the muddy path and finally arrived at El Village before the sun rose.
El Village is very large and dense. Looking from a distance, the wooden houses are closely connected together without distinguishing each other.
And at the diagonal corner of El Village, there stands a tall tower.
This is a tower of knowledge from a great magician!
This is the first time Bufan has seen a village with a Tower of Knowledge!
The two came to the entrance of the village and looked at everything in front of them. They felt that they were not in a village, but in a town.
There are many shops on both sides of the road, and the sounds of hawking and shouting are endless. In the past, there were only a few walking merchants here.
Bufan walked through the bustling crowd and walked to a bun shop, ordered two buns for breakfast, and then chatted with the boss.
"Boss, it's so lively here. El Village is the most prosperous village I have ever seen."
"Hey, it's not like this every day, but little brother, you are here at the right time. It happens to be the monthly market. Businessmen from all walks of life will gather here on this day to exchange ideas. So today is particularly lively .”
"Oh, that's it. Then I've come to the right place. I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time. It feels so fresh."
Hearing the extraordinary praise, the boss laughed happily and said: "Hahaha, our village is very famous. It is located on the main road leading to the outside world from Bit City. It's not even lively."
Bufan chatted with the boss for a long time, and the two chatted happily. Finally, the enthusiastic boss walked out of the shop himself and pointed him in the direction of the village chief.
After walking on the road for a short period of time, Bufan suddenly stopped.
"It seems like something is missing? What is missing?" Bufan raised his hand to touch his head, but the bag in his hand was shaken up. Looking at the two breakfasts in his hand, Bufan was stunned for a moment. Only then did he wake up.
"Dar! Where is Dar?"
The Dahl in Bufan's mouth was walking slowly on the road. At this moment, he seemed to be a different person. The indifference in his eyes disappeared. His cheeks were red, his nose was trembling slightly, he gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step. Every step he took seemed to be enduring great pain.
Finally, he came to a shop. There was a plaque above the shop that read, "Ancestral Roast Chicken Shop."
"Store, shopkeeper, please bring me a piece of roast chicken!" Dar said slowly while biting the byte.
The owner of this store is a young girl. She looked at the sweaty Dar with some surprise and asked with concern: "Hello, are you feeling well? Do you need me to call you Sage? ?”
"No, no, I'm just hungry. Please bring me some roast chicken. I'd be very grateful."
"Uh, okay, but are you a monk?"
"A monk does not necessarily have a bald head, and similarly, a bald head does not necessarily mean a monk. The store owner should understand, right?" Dar said in a circle. He couldn't lie and wanted to confuse the audience and try to get away with it.
"That's true, but I still rarely see bald heads..." Seeing Dar staring at her longingly, the girl was really embarrassed to say any more, so she quickly picked up a roast chicken, cut it up quickly, and put it in a bag. inside.
"30 copper coins!"
"Here, here you go!" Dar took out three silver coins and handed them over, then quickly picked up the bag and walked out.
"Thank you for your patronage! Welcome to visit again!"
"Yes, I will."
After exiting the store and turning right, Dar sat down directly on the stool next to the door, opened the bag, and started eating as if no one else was watching.
When Bufan found Dar, he almost didn't recognize him. He had a satisfied smirk on his face and oily hands. At this time, Dar felt more like a child whose wish was fulfilled to Bufan.
"Dar? Dar!"
"..." Dar's smile suddenly solidified.
Bufan pointed to several bags filled with bones next to Dar and continued to ask: "Dar, is this what you eat?"
"I, this, am the little monk."
"Monks don't lie, Dar!"
"Well, as you can see, this is indeed what the little monk ate."
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply, Dar. It's okay. In the world of foodies, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
"Actually, this is a kind of heart disease of Xiao Seng. When Xiao Seng was very young, his family was still very poor and he didn't eat any good food. Occasionally, his father went to the market and brought back a piece of roast chicken. After trying the taste, The young monk has endless aftertaste and forgets everything. Until now, he has not cared about it, but the impression has become more profound. Therefore, as soon as the young monk smells the smell of roast chicken, he will lose his composure, and holding back will only make himself sink deeper and deeper. "
"So that's what happened. Your heart disease is really serious. However, one day during the battle, someone throws out a roast chicken. Will anything happen to you?"
"This little monk has never tried it, but not many people know about it. Besides, why do I, a little monk, need others to specifically target me?"
"That's true. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you. Have you finished eating? We'll set off as soon as we finish!"
"Okay, wait a moment, the monk will finish this portion quickly!"
After a cup of tea...
"Come on, come on, this is the last one."
Two cups of tea passed...
"Xiao Monk, just pack another one, please wait a little longer!"
