"What's going on with these people?"

The voices of Nan, Su and Bei were filled with shock and some disbelief.

He was walking on the road leading outside the city, and outside the city he saw some temporary shelters built together with wooden planks, branches, and incomprehensible rags.

Some people, dressed in tatters but obviously unable to withstand the cold winter, were all dirty and disheveled, huddled together as if they were trying to keep warm.

And there are many such people around the edges of the city.

There were many children among them, with round eyes on their dark faces looking at the people walking out of the city.

In addition, South and North Jiangsu even saw several emaciated people lying on the cold ground, seemingly lifeless, including children who were as big as bones.

Hearing Nansubei's question, Tuoke, who was walking in front, turned his head and took a look. There was an unbearable look in his eyes, but he just sighed helplessly and lowered his hat.

The brim of his hat covered his eyes.

"Let's go, we can't help them."

But this was the first time Nansubei saw this situation. He couldn't help but slow down and look at the surrounding situation.

Really seeing this scene had a huge impact on him.

As if they noticed his movement, several children and two or three women immediately gathered around him.

"Grandpa, you must be a gentleman. For the sake of the gods, let me stutter."

"Brother, I'm hungry..."

"..."

All kinds of begging sounds came up in an instant, and Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu were a little at a loss.

Seeing this situation, Toke quickly took two steps back and dragged Nan Su Bei over.

He lifted the brim of his hat and revealed his face, looking very unhappy.

"Go, go, you damn refugees, go away!"

Tok's already tall and fat figure suddenly showed a ferocious expression. These refugees were immediately frightened, and they dispersed immediately.

Seeing this, Tuoke quickly pulled Nan Subei and walked outside quickly.

He returned to his previous appearance and said as he walked: "Although these people are pitiful, they are also hateful. They are driven to a dead end and can do anything. Don't show weakness in front of them.

Otherwise, you will only be worse off than these refugees. If you want to blame it, blame those damn rich masters and the damn war. "

Southern and Northern Jiangsu were somewhat silent.

I kept thinking silently in my heart: "They are all NPCs, they are all fake, don't be here with the Holy Mother's heart..."

If you pass the level, or if you don’t, they will all disperse and become just phantoms..."

Perhaps this adjustment made him feel better, so he immediately turned his attention to other places and asked.

"war?"

"Of course, so many refugees, what else can they be but war. Don't you know?"

Tok turned his head and asked with some confusion.

He has been working with Old Tom in his tavern for many years, more than ten years.

He also knew more or less something about Old Tom, and even more about the identities of these people in Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu.

It can only be said that there is no problem in hiding the identities of people like Nan Jiangsu and others from the ordinary poor people.

The upper class and some rich people can know about it, including those like Tok who have had contact with it.

Things like wars, even small wars and conflicts, should not be unknown.

Nan Subei's mind was spinning rapidly, and he sighed and said, "This is my first time..."

It started like this and didn't finish, but Tok seemed to have figured out a perfect answer and nodded with great understanding.

"It seems so. Although I had a son when I was this old, I was just illiterate.

Looking at you like this, you must have gone to school, right? I heard that if you continue to study in big cities, you will probably be your age when you graduate? "

Hearing this question, Nan Subei nodded.

"Oh, no wonder, kindness is a good quality, but you need to use other qualities to protect him, otherwise kindness will only harm yourself.

Only by protecting yourself can you do more, right? "

While Tuoke was talking about his life insights, he turned around, smiled and patted Nan Subei on the shoulder.

Nan Subei also smiled: "Thank you, your words are very philosophical."

"Really? Hahaha." Nan Subei's compliment seemed to be very helpful to him, and he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh twice.

Then he said humbly: "No, this is just the insight of an old man who has lived for many years, hahaha."

After chatting with Nan and Subei, they soon saw a small village in the distance in front of the path.

It didn't take much time. It seemed that the order had already been discussed and ordered. Soon Toke called two villagers to use a wooden cart to haul a cart of various ingredients.

There is very little meat, maybe only half a pig? There are also some rabbits, deers and so on.

The meat was frozen solid. Most of the items are fruits and vegetables, and they are easy to store.

There are only a few that are difficult to store.

When we returned to the city, there were 4 people.

"Be careful and stay vigilant. I believe you must be very good at this, right." Tok smiled and winked at Nansu Bei.

Nan Subei nodded confidently: "Don't worry, I'm still very confident about this."

"Haha, I'll leave it to you. You've also seen those refugees. It's not very safe outside since they came. Be careful of them robbing.

People who are hungry can do anything. I even heard those damn drunkards say that they saw human bones that had been bitten in the woods. "

As he spoke, he took out a musket about forearm length from his arms and made two gestures.

"Weapons of progress, haha, this is what men should use."

"Sissy." A voice came from behind. It was a villager who helped transport him. He stared at Tok and said.

He directly used his pitchfork as a weapon.

The other person took off the bow from his back.

Tok couldn't help curling his lips: "Damn barbarian."

Apparently they were already well acquainted with each other.

As he spoke, he held his weapon and moved forward, hoping in his heart that this journey would be safe and smooth.

…

In the city square, Yang Rongrong walked around the tailor shop, looking at the clothes and some cloth.

From time to time, he would ask the old woman at the counter something.

The mother-in-law smiled, her slightly narrowed eyes full of loving joy. Looking at Yang Rongrong's expression, it was like looking at her own granddaughter.

"What a good boy. You will definitely become a great person in the future." The mother-in-law exclaimed with a smile.

Listening to this sigh, Yang Rongrong just smiled and turned back: "Thank you, mother-in-law. Your clothes are really well made. How did you learn this craft?"

"This craft begins when I was a child, before I became a peripheral member of the Eye of Secrets..."

Listening to the mother-in-law's narration, Yang Rongrong was always refining the useful information in these words and remembering them in her mind.

Because Yang Rongrong is an official member of the Secret Eye, a voyeur.

In front of her was another peripheral member who was so old that she had retired. It was entirely possible for her to ask about her mother-in-law's past in a way that interested her and wanted to know.

And the mother-in-law herself was very satisfied with Yang Rongrong. Naturally, she knew everything and even talked very interestingly. It had been a long time since anyone had accompanied her like this.

Yang Rongrong sat next to her, holding her hand, and interjecting words from time to time, praising the mother-in-law's bravery when she was young.

A bell rang at the door, interrupting their conversation.

Yang Rongrong stood up and walked over.

When I was a little confused before, I was at the front desk doing nothing, and at least I gained some experience.

He walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Do you need anything?"

The person who came in took off his hat, looked at Yang Rongrong, whom he had never seen before, and looked her up and down.

His slightly handsome face curled up his lips.

"Are you a new employee here? You don't look like a local."

After he finished speaking, Yang Rongrong's mother-in-law's voice came from behind before Yang Rongrong could answer.

"Your clothes are ready. Come with me to get them."

After hearing this, the man smiled very gentlemanly at Yang Rongrong. Then he ignored her and followed her mother-in-law inside.

Soon the mother-in-law picked up a piece of clothing and let him try it on.

After putting it on, he looked around in the mirror twice and nodded with satisfaction.

"Grandma Sonas's craftsmanship is still so good."

Sonas just smiled indifferently and nodded politely: "Thank you."

The man looked in the mirror, but his eyes were always locked on Yang Rongrong's figure reflected in the mirror.

He raised the corners of his lips and asked as if chatting casually: "Is this beautiful lady your new employee?"

Granny Sonas raised her head slightly and stared at the young man in front of her. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, but her voice was obviously stiff.

"She is my brother's granddaughter. Grab your things and leave quickly."

Hearing this obviously repulsive statement, the man just smiled and shrugged.

"Then I'll leave first."

The voice is still so gentle. When she passed by Yang Rongrong, she gave her a warm smile, pressed her hat again, opened the door and walked out.

Yang Rongrong looked at the man's back as he left.

Judging from this man's temperament, it can be said that he is completely incompatible with the civilians around him.

The obviously wealthy class was somewhat similar to the nobles they saw on the train.

No, it shouldn't be similar.

This person should be a noble.

Granny Sonas's voice sounded: "That's a bad boy, be careful, that bad boy is disgusting."

"Is he a noble?"

"That's right, the youngest son of the Ames family. A disgusting boy who likes to play with those ignorant girls and has a very bad reputation.

But those silly girls always think they can become phoenixes. "

As she spoke, Grandma Sonas sighed obviously and shook her head helplessly.

Then he said without hesitation: "He is obviously interested in you, you have to be careful."

But that was enough. After all, she knew that Yang Rongrong was not a weak girl.

But he is an official member of the Secret Eye.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law."

Yang Rongrong smiled.

Although she doesn't have any so-called skills that can detect the enemy's situation.

But analyzing the enemy's approximate strength has become an instinct for them.

Although the blond man just now was obviously a nobleman with extraordinary strength. But in Yang Rongrong's opinion, that's just it.

At best, he can be considered a soldier... That's an exaggeration. He's probably an elite soldier.

In her heart, Yang Rongrong gave him a definition of strength.

It's just a matter of punching.

"But I didn't expect that in this unknown fringe city, in such an exclusive atmosphere, there would actually be nobles."

After hearing this, the mother-in-law laughed, but the laughter was full of sarcasm.

"It is the edge city that is still so exclusive, stagnant and decaying. On the contrary, the nobles here once had more power than outside.

But after all, the city was only that big, and there were only three noble families, and one family was allocated by the king and lived on the other side of the river. "

Yang Rongrong obviously sensed the important information and asked: "Which side is on the other side of the river?"

…

"Yes, but that's not part of Sozix."

In the orphanage, Sister Meili said with disgust after hearing Zhuang Cai's question.

“Over there is a city built by outsiders, and there are also those ignorant young people here who yearn for the outside.

There they are, intent on snatching our city from our hands and disrupting our peace. "

Looking at the nun's expression, Zhuang Cai nodded in understanding.

Sure enough, this has obviously gone beyond the scope of just wanting to live a quiet life.

Moreover, what the nun is saying now is highly consistent with the teachings of the Jinghe Order.

The teachings of the Jinghe Order are peaceful and peaceful - the life these common people yearn for. To package their lack of enterprising spirit and exclusiveness.

Define all outsiders as beings who want to destroy their peaceful lives.

Zhuang Cai and the others were able to integrate into it only if they had certain connections with the city through various channels.

For example, according to Haili, she learned from the dean that Zhuang Cai and his two children were once adopted children in an orphanage, but now they are back.

There was no Sister Hailey at that time, so she accepted it very naturally.

Especially the image of Iridescent Eyes in a wheelchair made her believe this.

In orphanages, more than half of the children have some congenital problems.

"So those pesky government officials are over there too?"

"Of course, we drove them over." Sister Meili said with some pride.

Hearing this, Zhuang Cai nodded, but felt helpless in his heart.

Isn't this just seeking death?

He has been frantically learning about these backgrounds in the past two days.

To be honest, they can still live quietly in this city for more than ten years.

They really drove those officials to the other side of the city, allowing them to control this place without any real power.

This is entirely due to the excessive exclusivity here and the edge of the map.

Just because of the internal unity, they will try their best to exclude them.

It has almost become a buffer zone for war, and this country still has frictions and conflicts with other countries on the other side.

And about 200 kilometers away from their city, fighting has already started at the junction of two other countries.

There is constant friction without intimidating weapons.

The village has just passed this information, and the newspaper has already learned about it from the chef.

It was obvious that the old men were more interested in this information.

Due to various reasons, they have really held the power of the city in their hands in the past ten years.

But Zhuang Cai thought that it might be more in the hands of the so-called Jinghe Order.

"So what does this newspaper mean about last year's conflict?"

"Last year?" Sister Meili suddenly remembered it, and her expression became very disgusting, even with a hint of hatred.

“Those outsiders used despicable means to forcefully take over the rights of the city, and even conflicts broke out.

Many great young men lost their lives and became disabled in that conflict.

But they were all good, because we successfully fought them off that time and scared them so much that they didn't dare to come back again. "

At this point, her expression became brighter again.

Zhuang Cai suddenly understood and nodded clearly.

Then he changed the subject and asked: "Where is Miss Hong who came with me?"

"Ah, that pretty lady? She is teaching those children how to play games.

She is really a kind and beautiful lady, just like the flowers in early spring ~ the rain and dew ~ standing on the petals, it is pure ~"

Aunt Meili suddenly started singing, which made Zhuang Cai feel a little embarrassed. She also used that high-pitched singing voice.

Zhuang Cai hurriedly left, saying that he had something to do and wanted to see Rainbow Tong, and left.

…

Outside the city, on the path leading to the countryside.

A group of men in somewhat tattered clothing, wrapped in animal skins and obviously ill-fitting clothing, were hiding around the trees.

"Are you sure you saw it?" A man with dirty clothes and uncovered scars on his face asked with a frown.

"Standing at the gate of the village, I saw them dragging a cart of food into the city.

And there are only 4 people, and the weapons are pitiful pitchforks and a bad bow and arrow. "

Hearing the confirmed words, he nodded and took out a gun from his back.

There were many people around him, and their purpose was very clear.
