Old Sun and Old Six's topic gradually drifted away. Chu Yunsheng was a newcomer, so he couldn't understand what they were talking about. So he just followed behind them, thinking about his own thoughts. He couldn't count on the legion commander for the time being, and he didn't know how long it would take for them to think of him. So now he could only rely on the old man.
…
"What? You want to carry a corpse? "Chu Yunsheng asked for another day off. When he returned to the thatched hut, he immediately went to find the old man.
"Is there a problem?" Chu Yunsheng frowned and wrote on the ground with a dry branch. If this road was cut off again, he really couldn't find a better way.
The old man looked at Chu Yunsheng for a long time and said in confusion, "this … you are already a puppet now, you don't need to do this kind of lowly work."
Chu Yunsheng thought so. While biting the branch, he casually made up an excuse and wrote, "money is tight, so I need to save more."
The old man looked at the ground, and then looked at Chu Yunsheng again. As if he suddenly realized something, he nodded his head and said, "yes, you are still young, you still have a bright future ahead of you, leave this to me."
Chu Yunsheng thought for a second, then took out half of the remaining food from the thatched hut, put it in front of the old man, and wrote, "if you are in trouble, just use this to buy it, the sooner the better."
The old man was very surprised, and said incredulously, "you just casually put food in the hut!?"
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head absent-mindedly. Since the dark age began, he was completely different from other people. What he lacked the most was not food, but Yuan Qi energy. When he was in Shen Cheng city, he even needed to carefully calculate the amount of Yuan Qi energy he needed, and the storage talisman was always full of food.
Because of his habitual thinking, even if he was "penniless" now, Chu Yunsheng didn't cherish food like gold, and he also didn't want to hide like the people here.
He had experienced too many losses and gains, whether it was food or other things. Today, Chu Yunsheng almost forgot the day when he was in the supermarket in Shen Cheng city, he risked his life to attack a red-shelled insect just for a little bit of food.
However, food was still food, and it was always the most precious thing in the dark. Without the stable supply from the security team, the most urgent thing for him was probably not how to leave the forest, but how to fill his stomach.
The next day, Chu Yunsheng once again felt the shock of just a little bit of food. When he came out of the thatched hut, he saw the old man leading a row of women, about seven or eight of them, who were barely dressed up.
He looked at the old man in surprise, picked up a branch that was used to write on the wall, and scribbled, "ready to go to drag the bodies?"
The old man smiled from ear to ear and shook his head. "That can't be rushed. The higher-ups haven't made any plans to leave the forest yet. How about we take a look at them first?"
Chu didn't know what the old man was trying to do, but he couldn't say it..., the old man, "the old man said.
"Man" Chu "Chu" said. "Yun," Chu "Chu". "Chu," The "said.," T "Chu.
Chu Yunsheng wiped off the frost on his beard, picked up a branch and wrote on the ground, "I asked you to drag the bodies, why are you doing this?"
The old man didn't know what was wrong with Chu Yunsheng. But he didn't want to offend the masked man, so he immediately explained,
"I'm looking for a wife for you. Didn't you say yesterday that you need to save more food? It wasn't easy for you to settle down here, and you even found such a good job. Whether it was in the past or now, ordinary people like us need to find a stable partner to live with, right?
In the long run, it's to carry on the family line. In the short run, the two of you can take care of each other. You have such good conditions. The girls that I've introduced to you are the most popular and best girls. They're all extravagant, strong and kind, and they can endure hardship and hunger. They're not sick or burdensome. I've asked them all, and they're all willing to follow you. You can choose one of them and find a good life … "
Chu Yunsheng's face was getting darker and darker. If he could speak, he would have already interrupted the old man. Fortunately, the old man also noticed it soon. Although he didn't understand why Chu Yunsheng was like this, in his opinion, it was a good thing. Even if it was the dark age, at least this forest was still a safe place for the time being. It was a broken but still a normal human society.
Getting married, having children, supporting each other for the rest of their lives, and going through hardships together, wasn't it normal?
The old man stamped his feet awkwardly, stared at the words on the ground and said, "I have signed up the list for you. Next time there is a mission, you can just go there directly. This job is dirty and dangerous, very few people are willing to do it …"
Chu Yunsheng opened his mouth. He didn't expect it to be so easy. He thought that this was a good job, and he needed to use his connections to get it. But he didn't expect that he only needed to sign up. Sometimes, things that were thought to be complicated were actually very simple, and things that were thought to be very simple were actually very complicated.
"Let them go." Chu Yunsheng sniffed his nose, which was irritated by the cold wind, and quickly wrote on the ground.
The old man still wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Yunsheng put on his coat and went straight to work, he had no choice but to say to those women helplessly, "all of you can leave now, she doesn't like you, it's so cold outside, let's leave now."
The women looked at Chu Yunsheng's back in disappointment. Although they knew that the man was mute, the identity of the masked man was too attractive. If he got this job, it meant that as long as the forest existed, his family would not starve to death. Not to mention that this man was alone. In this era, what was the most afraid of the most was having an extra mouth!
They considered themselves to be the best partners in the area. Although they were not beautiful, and some of them even had rough skin, they were strong, able to work, able to endure hardship, and knew how to do things. They were good helpers, both inside and outside, and not a burden or a vase.
At this age, they were the most sought after women. They were as beautiful as fairies, but they could not do hard work or endure hardship. Other than increasing the chances of being raped by wandering men, there were not many people in this forest who were willing to spend their days with such "extra mouths".
It was already very difficult to feed oneself, and it was impossible to feed another mouth that could only come in and out of the forest.
Just like the old man, they didn't know what was wrong with Chu Yunsheng's brain. They didn't know why he ignored seven or eight of the best candidates. Originally, they came with great expectations, but now they left in disappointment.
After they left one after another, a delicate figure, who had been standing in the corner for a long time, turned around and walked to the door of the thatched hut. She put down a plastic basin filled with clean ice cubes and silently returned to her hut.
*****
In a high-rise treehouse in the forest.
A short-haired woman was walking back and forth while staring at a map. In the corner, there was a golden armor that was wiped clean.
"Senior supervisor, he asked for leave again today," a fire energy man came in and reported.
The short-haired woman nodded and looked at the jungle city through the window. Suddenly, she closed her eyes and said quietly, "Zhenjiang, can you still remember the scene when the Eastern Bi Flower Fairy died? Her face was full of fear. She didn't even have a chance to resist before she was dismembered piece by piece. Her face was full of fear, right?"
The fire energy man nodded and said, "yes, I have never seen such a scared expression on the flower fairy's face. It was as if … as if she saw an enemy that was more powerful than the ruler of the forest."
The short-haired woman stopped looking at the map and said, "this man is now hiding in the western wall. We have investigated everyone who was there at that time. He is the only suspect."
The fire energy man was confused, "but he is not your opponent. How could he kill the flower fairy in an instant?"
"Don't you think it's strange?" The short-haired woman turned around and said, "he was wearing a mask, but he didn't use any energy to protect himself. Even when I stabbed him, he didn't use any energy to protect himself."
The fire energy man knitted his brows and thought for a moment, "but he was indeed fighting with all his might at that time. I don't think he was trying to hide his strength."
"Can an ordinary person have such a fast speed and such a shocking reaction?" The short-haired man shook his head, but he was still puzzled. "But if it's really him, maybe it's because he's injured or something, affecting his current strength. But why does he still have to register to do dirty work like dragging corpses after becoming the masked man? Since he could scare the flower fairy, then he shouldn't be from the eastern wall. But why did he hide in the western wall? It doesn't make any sense. "
The fire energy man hesitated for a second and said, "Senior Supervisor, I still don't think it's him."
The short-haired woman looked at him and asked, "if it's not him, who else could it be? Do you really think it's as the rumors say, that he's the strongest in the world? Even if he is not dead, think about it. He killed the messenger of the ice race and the fire race, destroyed the entire mechanical army, and even the insects respected him. What is he doing here? If he is here for Tubi, who can stop him? But nothing has happened. Moreover, the ice race has withdrawn the wanted order, which means that he is dead. "
The fire energy man shook his head and said, "I don't mean him. I mean, is it possible that our ruler did it?"
The short-haired woman suddenly looked at the fire energy man for a long time and sighed. She then looked at the map and said, "Zhenjiang, we can't hide this anymore. It's time to let you know that we are going to leave the Eastern Zhiwu forest very soon. This is also the reason why I used all the means to collect resources to exchange for the energy blocks from the other two Senior Supervisors. Because our ruler is dead!"
"Ah!"
The fire energy man was stunned as if he was struck by a lightning bolt.
The short-haired woman's eyes were filled with hatred. "The eastern wall has already gathered an army. They will come here in three days!"
*****
In the middle of the night, Chu Yunsheng left the "battle". The sequela of staying up all night started to act up again. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall asleep. Suddenly, he heard a little girl's voice coming from the back of the thatched hut, "… I don't have the fragrance of flowers, I don't have the height of a tree, I am just a little grass that no one knows …"
Chu Yunsheng put on his tattered clothes and walked around the front door to the back of the hut.
"Uncle, can you talk to me? I haven't talked to anyone other than my sister for a long time …"
The little girl raised her head. Her eyes were filled with loneliness and longing.
