And An Lichou's hair was pulled out by her dozens of strands. Her wisdom made her the leader of the team, and Mina's bravery made her the second leader.
Six days ago, Mina went out to find food again, and said to Enri what she had been repeating for three years.
"Anli, if you don't come back in two days, you can take them to the south. The winter there won't be so cold. At least eating grass roots and wild fruits will make everyone survive. Also, don't believe in the human race, they are too hypocritical and cunning. , once caught as a slave, then everything is over."
In this case, Enri can be said to be reciting the truth. Mina is very serious every time she says this, but she is two years older than Mina.
Perhaps years of malnutrition caused An Li to grow very slowly, and now she is 1.5 meters tall and looks very thin, like a little girl who is not big enough.
An Li agreed very seriously every time, and didn't take it to heart, because she believed that Mina would come back.
But... This time, six days have passed, and there is no news from Mina at all. This is unprecedented. Mina will be back in two days at the latest.
En Li's little head, thought of many bad fantasies, Mina was caught by the nobles?To be hanged by nobles?Or be sold as a slave?
No, Enri shouted in her heart, this is impossible, Mina is the best warrior she has ever seen, several times stronger than those noble knights, it is impossible to be caught.
It has been six days, and Anli has become more and more anxious. She has no sense of security now. Without Mina, even if she has food, it is difficult for her to swallow.
She has been thinking about whether to go to the south. Mina believes that she will take these orcs to the south, but she is unwilling to go to the south. The south without Mina is even colder than the cold winter here.
"Miss Anli, are we really going to the south?"
A male voice in the voice-changing period sounded, this was a bull orc with horns.
An Li regained consciousness from the memories, and looked at the thin boy in front of her. This was the little orc that Mina brought back, called Axe, and he was 15 years old this year.
Generally, the cattle orcs who have reached this age will grow to a height of more than 1.8 meters, and they are mighty fighters.
But Axe is now a 1.6-meter-long dwarf, still very thin. Even though Axe is very strong now, no worse than a 1.8-meter-long bull warrior, he is still hungry.
Seeing that Enri was silent, Axe couldn't help shouting anxiously, "Miss Enri, we don't want to go to the south. I heard that the human race there hates us very much. If you see orcs, you will be caught and used as slaves."
"Also, Second Sister Mina hasn't come back. I miss her."
Ever since Axe was rescued by Mina and Anli, he has always regarded them as saviours, and treated them as sisters. He didn't dare to be disrespectful, even if it cost his life. Now Mina hasn't come back for six days.
"Axe, let's not go to the south, let's go to Mina, she is waiting for us to save her." An Li's face showed a pure lily-like smile.
"Well! We're going to save Second Sister Mina."
"Mina should have gone to the territory over Xiyang City six days ago. Everyone should pack up. We will set off at night, and it should take a day or two to get there."
Chapter 0029 are taking advantage of you.
"Hey! What should I do? The price of coarse wheat has risen again, five copper coins per pound, and refined wheat has risen to seven copper coins per pound. Who can afford it?"
"That's right! We'll starve to death before we reach the autumn harvest of wheat."
"Damn, those unscrupulous grain merchants raise their prices at this time of year. Finally, Mr. Liu Feng came to us and exempted us from a lot of taxes, but those grain merchants added one more copper coin than in previous years..."
Buff's face was dignified. Walking on this road, he could always hear such voices, which made him want to kill those unscrupulous grain merchants.
In the past few days, he had been very busy. During the day, he was busy with the things that the Lord of the City explained, and at night he went to the military camp to teach those big stupid birds.
Buff suddenly thought of the school he reopened. It has been three days now, and there is not a single person who has come to sign up. This must not make him think wildly.
Could it be that the Lord of the City can't do anything?However, the white paper that can be written on gave him a little hope, although he didn't know why the slightly yellowish paper was called white paper.
Buff was thinking about it all the way. He is going to see the Lord of the City now. He has to report some urgent matters. Of course, if it is lunch time, he may be ten times more willing.
For example, suddenly the Lord of the City invites him to eat steak again?Buff thought of his little grandson, and shouted that he would like to eat steak. His wife, son and daughter-in-law, looked at him with admiring eyes, which made him a little airy.
But now this matter is more urgent, he has to report to the Lord City Lord quickly, this is related to the life and death of Xiyang City.
Buff was meeting him soon. In Liu Feng's study, this was the first time Buff had entered the Lord's study.
"Huhu..." Buff was short of breath, he lowered his head and dared not look at the things in the study, he was afraid of fainting.
Luxurious, gorgeous, is the only thing Buff can describe. He saw many legendary things recorded in books here, such as the transparent crystal glass cup, which is said to be only available to kings.
"Buff, sit down!" Liu Feng put down the water glass and pointed to the chair in front of the desk, "What's the matter today? Made you come early in the morning?"
Buff saluted respectfully, and then sat on the chair with half of his buttocks. He was very nervous. Meeting him in the study room full of treasures was the trust of the Lord of the City.
"My lord, someone found traces of orcs in the mountains to the west." After Buff finished speaking, he glanced at the cat-ear girl sitting on the desk.
Mina put the hand of the pastry in her mouth, paused slightly, and swept her tail uneasily.
"Orcs? How many people are there?" Liu Feng was interested. He came to this world for more than a month before he saw Mina as an orc.
"Sir, hunters have scouted, and there are more than a dozen orcs." Buff's face was solemn, "I suspect it is the vanguard of the orcs, and they will come to snatch it during the autumn harvest."
Liu Feng nodded lightly, rested his chin with one hand, and tapped the table with his fingers, "Do you think these orcs will come to snatch wheat just like in previous years?"
"Uh... Xiyang City was only stolen by a few orcs in the past, but I heard that several other cities were robbed by a large number of orcs." Buff scratched his cheek.
Liu Feng knew that the location of Xiyang City was relatively remote and the land was relatively barren. Orcs would not be able to snatch anything, so they seldom came.
Horse thieves composed of humans and thieves composed of orcs are all hazards during the autumn harvest. In order to survive, they will only rob things.
Many orcs live in the Forbidden Mountains. They must find enough food before winter comes, or they will starve to death when winter comes for four months.
Mina had spent the winter in the Forbidden Mountains before, she was a little dazed, thinking of Enri, thinking that they should go to the south, right?
"I see, I will make people pay attention to the traces of the orcs." Liu Feng nodded and asked a different topic, "Has anyone gone to your night school these days?"
"Night school?" Buff was a little confused. After thinking about this new word, he knew it was describing his academy, and quickly replied, "Sir, no one comes to my night school to read."
"Don't worry, someone will be there tonight." Liu Feng expected something, he took out a roll of paper from the painting tank beside him and handed it to Buff, "Post this on the bulletin board."
Buff knew what a bulletin board was. It was a wooden wall erected on a small square. The city owner stood there. The city owner didn't like to go out and shout, so he would post his requirements on the bulletin board.
He also felt that the Lord of the City should not be allowed to go out and shout. It would be too much to lose his status as a noble. If something was posted on the bulletin board, he would read it out to everyone again. This feeling fascinated him.
Buff took the roll of paper and opened it slowly. Seeing the requirements above, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Sir, how can this be possible?"
"Why not? Anyway, there are still 20 days until the autumn harvest. They are usually idle, right?" Liu Feng said lightly.
Buff said anxiously, "But this is really unfair to you, everyone is taking advantage of you."
"The entire Xiyang City is mine, whoever can take advantage of me, Bafu, you have to let go of your thoughts." Liu Feng was a little dumbfounded, "Okay, just do as I ask."
Chapter 0030 Otherworld version of urban planning.
Buff left with a lot of doubts, and he couldn't understand the actions of Lord City Master more and more.
Is there really an aristocrat who is willing to pay so much for the commoners?Buff has been to several cities and has never seen such a noble.
