in the edge

Chapter 483 Shuo Rat
When Du Chengfeng flew all the way back to Liuhua Mountain, nothing seemed to have changed.

The sun still rises as usual, and people in Liuhua Mountain are still organizing to resume production. Because the people in Jishui Town already have some awareness that "Taibai Star is Liuhua Tiger" and "Liuhua Tiger is Taibai Star", plus there is Jishui With this convenient waterway transportation, the people on both sides have some cooperation.

This is a good thing for both the people of Jishui Town and the people of Liuhua Mountain.

Even for Du Chengfeng, it was a good thing.

The local people are already living and working in peace and contentment, so he can naturally go about his own business. As for the other two monsters lurking over, the mouse and the hedgehog...

They don't seem to be coming.

Out of caution, Du Chengfeng also checked several times, but there was really no sign of the two monsters coming. At least there were no strange things happening in the local area, nor were there any strange murder cases, which meant that even No one died.

As for Du Chengfeng, there was no trouble coming to his door.

Everything seemed so calm.

"Maybe...the two of them really ran away?"

He is more accustomed to facing situations where everyone wants him dead.

"Besides, we can't waste food, right?"

Du Chengfeng took a closer look and saw that there were indeed a few mice gnawing on the food that had fallen on the ground, each one eating until their bellies were full.

After all, these five demons are coming for him. It doesn't matter if he fights and kills them, but if innocent people are injured because of his fighting, then this matter is somewhat inappropriate.

Treating someone to a nice meal may be the best way they can think of to express their feelings.

Du Chengfeng, who had just arrived in Jishui Town, was preparing to eat, but he was just staring at the shrine beside Jishui.

Think about it, neither a mouse nor a hedgehog are good at frontal combat. After all their companions who are good at fighting are dead, it is impossible for these two monsters to make any waves - maybe these two Maybe the demon simply ran away. After all, judging from the previous killing of the snake demon, there was also internal strife among these five demons.

"……mouse?"

But the weight of gratitude is much heavier than the knife.

For example, the people in Jishui Town worked hard to build water conservancy projects in order to harvest more food and earn more food. Or the people in Liuhua Mountain were still struggling to live a life even if they faced natural disasters every year. ——But things are getting better now. At least there are no floods in Jishui Town, and there are no natural disasters in Liuhua Mountain. Everyone can have a good year at the end of the year.

Du Chengfeng immediately became furious.

Although the dishes are very simple and the cooking skills are far inferior to his own, the sincerity is genuine.

Maybe it was just that he couldn't withstand such a scene. Even if he waited for the people of Liuhua Mountain to disperse before sneaking over to eat the food, he still felt a little uncomfortable when facing the table full of food. Don't know what to do.

But work is work, and these people have not forgotten the Taibai Star that brought all this.

After thinking for a long time, Du Chengfeng finally found a more suitable reason for himself - although he was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, he was not the kind of person who would waste food. Since everyone made it specially for him, then He will definitely go over and eat it all.

The matter was not a big deal, but it was extremely bad in nature. This not only ruined his face, but also wasted the gratitude of the people of Jishui Town. Most importantly, this behavior wasted hard-earned food.

What a delicious meal that could have been enjoyed by everyone, but now it is all rolling on the ground, mixed in the mud, and the dogs won't eat it, so the rats can only be eaten...

"Who did it!"

It's also possible that he's just not used to being thanked.

Anyway, with his appetite, he can finish even two meals. If people in Liuhua Mountain eat it, there is no reason why people in Jishui Town can't eat it.

Du Chengfeng never liked causing trouble to others.

"Actually, I haven't done much."

Du Chengfeng felt a little numb when he thought that there was a meal of the same thing waiting for him in Jishui Town. Of course, he didn't think this was a bad thing. It could even be said to be some kind of happy trouble - —It’s always nice to be thanked. After all, it means that he has done something.

Although Du Chengfeng is not sure whether he still needs to eat now that his body has lost all his internal organs, he still regards eating on time as a daily necessity.

Du Chengfeng, who had a good meal at Liuhua Mountain, scratched his head. He really felt that he had deserved it. After all, the relationship between him and the original Liuhua Mountain Lord was actually just a personal grudge. After Liuhuashan Jun was killed, the lives of the local people actually improved. In fact, from this perspective, this matter had something to do with him.

However, Du Chengfeng still chose to stay in Liuhua Mountain for a while.

Since he couldn't find the two remaining demons, his life was back on track. He polished mountains every day, slept well at night, went to bed early and got up early, and was in good health. With a few more mountains in his hands, his Food and beverages have even become healthier. Not only have the ingredients consumed every day become fresher, but the quality of the meat we usually eat has also improved a lot.

People eat for food.

And this was also the most delicious meal Du Chengfeng had ever eaten.

Looking at these mice stealing food, Du Chengfeng had a vague feeling that something was not right.

So after the grain was harvested in the autumn, the people in Jishui Town and Liuhua Mountain selected some of the best grain this year and offered it to their Liuhua Tiger and Taibai Star respectively.

Not just Du Chengfeng, but everyone.

On the one hand, it is to polish the mountains, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of local safety.

"We still have to go to Jishui Town for a meal...hey."

If the food he worked so hard to prepare is left to rot because he didn't go there to eat, that would be a real waste.

There is indeed food placed in front of the shrine, but at this moment, the food has been ruined. The bowls and chopsticks are scattered on the floor, and the food is scattered everywhere - obviously, this cannot be done by Jishui locals. , the locals are not so bold, and even outsiders cannot be so bold.

After all, he didn't have to think about anything at that time. He only needed to swing his sword and kill those enemies.

Compared with this gratitude, the pure incense and desire attached to the meal are even considered secondary.

"So...huh?"

After all, his body has become a bit too ridiculous now. It didn't matter that he had become very big, but now he has simply lost all his internal organs. The whole body is made of steel and iron, and it is not even a human being. ——But Du Chengfeng still feels that he is a human being. What could he be if he were not a human being?
Therefore, humans must eat, and they must eat cooked food. Enjoying the delicious food brought by cooking is a right that belongs exclusively to humans.

Perhaps this can be regarded as an obsession that belongs exclusively to him.

He raised his right hand and waved it down, and several mice were neatly cut open in front of Du Chengfeng - it turned out that these mice were just ordinary mice, and they failed to show anything when faced with the light of the sword. Ability to resist.

It was just a few rats that stole the tribute. Everything seemed like a coincidence.

But Du Chengfeng didn't think this was a coincidence at all.

He smelled danger.

So, for safety reasons, Du Chengfeng once again found Zhang Laowu in Jishui Town.

There is no danger on his side, and he won't be afraid of being attacked, but it's hard to say to these ordinary people.

So someone needs to organize manpower to prevent trouble. "Anyway, watch out for rats."

This is what Du Chengfeng told Zhang Laowu.

"I am outside and have an enemy with two monsters. They may come to harm you, so be careful of mice recently."

"……I see."

Zhang Laowu promised this, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.

Watch out for mice? What can a mouse do? Not to mention that there are already cats and dogs in the town that can catch mice. Even if there are not, small things like mice cannot hurt people - if there is anything that mice can do, it is probably to steal food. We have enough food, but how much can a mere mouse steal?
Thanks to the Taibai Star, this year is considered a good year, and every household has a surplus of food. Even if it is bitten by insects and rats, it will not be like in previous years.

"But since that Taibai Star said so... let's take a look."

With this in mind, Zhang Laowu opened his warehouse and prepared to take a look before going back to sleep.

However, just this glance frightened Zhang Laowu so much that he sat down on the ground.

"How is it possible...how is it possible?"

Looking at the empty warehouse, Zhang Laowu was dumbfounded.

"Where is the grain? Where is the grain that was just harvested? Why is it gone? Why is there not a single grain left?"

However, no matter how Zhang Laowu cried and howled, the warehouse still looked empty. Not even a grain of grain could be seen on the ground. It was so empty that a mouse could run away.

Yes, mouse.

"mouse!"

Zhang Laowu, who thought of something, rushed to the next door. He vaguely thought of something.

Sure enough, when he and his neighbor checked the warehouse, they still saw an empty space.

This also made Zhang Laowu's fear intensify.

Zhang Laowu went from house to house, and other houses were in the same situation. Soon, he visited all the houses in the town. It was at this time that Jishui, who was still immersed in the joy of the harvest, Only then did the people realize that the food they had collected had long since disappeared.

This year is indeed a good year, but this good year has nothing to do with the people of Jishui.

At this moment, the people of Jishui have nothing.

"……Why?"

Zhang Laowu fell to the ground and was speechless for a long time.

He didn't know why, he didn't know where he went wrong. It was obvious that the Jishui people had done nothing wrong. They just wanted to live their lives well and live normally...

But now they have nothing.

Rations, seed grains, vegetables, dried meat, everything that can be eaten to satisfy hunger have disappeared. Let alone a good year, they don’t even know if they will have food to eat tomorrow.

"Why is this happening?"

Zhang Laowu subconsciously clenched the Iron Man statue in his arms.

Under the catastrophe, he was completely panicked. The only thing he could think of at this moment was to turn to the omnipotent Taibai Star for help.

But Taibai Xing, whom he admired, didn't give him any response.

Just because Du Chengfeng is far away in Liuhua Mountain.

When he saw Zhang Laowu running around the town, Du Chengfeng, who had not yet flown away in mid-air, had already vaguely guessed what was going on. When he saw the empty warehouse in Zhang Laowu's house, he even jumped up from the ground. He got up and flew all the way to Liuhua Mountain - just because at this moment he had vaguely felt that such a thing would never only happen in Jishui Town.

And after he returned to Liuhua Mountain, things were exactly as he imagined.

The food collected by the people of Liuhua Mountain had been swept away without even realizing it.

"mouse……"

Du Chengfeng clenched his fists and suddenly flew into the sky.

Although the most important thing at the moment is to dig out the rats hiding in the dark, what is more important is the food supply problem in Liuhua Mountain and Jishui. You must know that those rats are so ruthless and cruel that there is no If you leave a grain of food for the people in both places, how long can the people in the two places last without enough food?

What's more, it all started because of him.

"Anyway, bring the food back first!"

This was Du Chengfeng's first thought.

As for where to go to prepare food, it's easy to say. The best choice is definitely Wangyou Township. Due to the use of Master Ruan's ashes, Wangyou Township has already had a surplus of supplies. It's nothing to separate some now.

But transportation is a problem.

It is true that Du Chengfeng can fly back and forth, but this does not mean that he can fly back and forth carrying the rations of the people in the two towns. What's more, he can't bring much in one trip. There are so many mouths waiting for food. What he can carry That's just a drop in the bucket.

What is really convenient is to use Huangtian's method to adjust food in different places. Perhaps this is the real use of Huangtian's portal, ultra-long-distance transportation of materials, but this also requires him to fly back first to coordinate.

"I hope nothing happens..."

Du Chengfeng flew back to Wangyou Township as quickly as possible, organized manpower, and prepared to transport the food there. As for the people in Wangyou Township, although they were a little confused about this, they were willing to follow it out of their trust in Du Chengfeng - but no matter how fast the whole process was, it still took nearly a day.

"At least let them have dinner."

Du Chengfeng thought this way as he flew all the way back to Jishui Town.

But when he found Zhang Laowu and was about to discuss how to receive the goods, he heard surprising news.

The people in the two towns have not been hungry for a day. They have at least solved the food ration problem.

"As long as the memorial tablet of Mother Bai is enshrined, there will be food at the doorstep."

Saying this, Zhang Laowu took out a wooden tablet from his arms.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng vaguely smelled the scent of some strange animal.

That's the scent of a hedgehog.
