Simulation: Start with one person

This is a bamboo forest that grows very well. Each bamboo seems to want to break through the sky. It grows tall and large, several meters in diameter and tens of meters in height, breaking his inherent impression of bamboo.

Fang Rui stood in front of a bamboo, stretched out his hand and patted the bamboo's emerald green skin a few times.

"The hardness is quite high..."

After finishing the evaluation, he turned around and left.

It's just some ordinary bamboo with high hardness, but it can't be used as a material for making weapons, so there is no need to waste time on research.

Walking out of the bamboo forest, Fang Rui arrived at a shabby village.

Most of the houses were damaged to varying degrees, and the villagers were sallow and thin, and their clothes were in tatters, just like gangsters.

When Fang Rui entered the village, the villagers immediately became alert and looked at Fang Rui with wary eyes. Many villagers even held weapons such as wooden shovels and wooden sticks.

'The hostility is very strong~'

Sighing in his heart, Fang Rui looked at the nearby villagers.

Based on the analysis of his clothing, if there are no accidents, his current location is Wano Country.

The specialties of Wano: advanced skills in the use of armed Haki, various sword skills and famous swords, seastone forging technology, famous sword forging technology, and some special ores.

Fang Rui was not interested in the armament, domineering and sword skills, but as for the following items, Fang Rui was quite interested.

First of all, there are famous swords. Some of them are in the Beast Pirates, some of them are in the treasury of Wano Country, some of them are scattered in various places, and the remaining part is collected by Ushikimaru.

Secondly, there is the seastone forging technology and the famous sword forging technology. Some of the craftsmen who mastered the above two technologies were captured and controlled by the Beast Pirates and the Black Tan Family, while the other part were hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

For example, there is the swordsmith Tenguyama Hitotsu who is hiding in the forest near Nori Village in the Kuri area.

Finally, there is the special ore. Almost all the mineral veins in Wano are controlled by the Beast Pirates and the Black Tan family. If you want to obtain special ores, the Beast and Black Tan are the obstacles that cannot be bypassed.

'Trouble~'

Sighing in his mind, Fang Rui sorted out the to-do items and then sorted them.

At the same time, the villagers saw the stranger standing in a daze for a while, looking at each other, not knowing what expression to put on.

They were armed and serious.

But the other party was in a daze, not paying attention to them at all, and didn't care about being surrounded...

Suddenly, Fang Rui's distracted eyes refocused and he looked at the surrounding villagers.

"What is the name of the village and what region does it belong to?"

Fang Rui asked very directly, his tone was close to questioning, but he added a little phantom sound, which made the nearby villagers trust him very much, and they didn't care about his tone and answered immediately.

"The name of the village is Weili Village, which belongs to the Guri area."

'You're pretty lucky~'

With this in mind, Fang Rui continued to ask, "Where are Fei Che and Ayu in Tengu Mountain?"

"I don't know where Tengu Mountain is, but Ayu's home is in the mountains and forests."

Some villagers answered this way.

"lead the way."

After receiving Fang Rui's order, a villager immediately walked out of the crowd, saluted slightly and said, "Please follow me."

The two walked forward and arrived at a dilapidated wooden house.

As a reward for leading the way, Fang Rui threw him a bag of rice and let him go.

Fang Rui pushed open the door, entered the house, and then closed the door.

His eyes wandered around the house, and the situation inside the house could be described as "a house with four walls". All the furniture was very worn and old.

There was no meat or vegetables in the kitchen, not even rice, just some barnyard wheat.

Although it is not at the end of the road, it is not far off.

As Ayu's disciple, the situation in her family is enough to explain the situation in Tenguyama Feite's family.

There is no doubt that the Tengu Mountain family is short of food.

There are also plots in the anime that describe the food shortage in Fugasa Village and its surroundings.

This was a situation deliberately created by the Black Carbon Orochi, leaving most people in the area without enough food and clothing, so they naturally had no energy to cause him any trouble.

"...Perhaps I can use food to hire Tenguyama Hitotsu to work for me."

"No, to be precise, as long as food is provided, you can easily recruit many workers. The only problem is that doing so will definitely attract the attack of the Beast Pirates and the Black Carbon Orochi..."

"Although I am not afraid of the Beast Pirates and the Black Tan Family, it is useless for me to recruit workers..."

With that said, Fang Rui sat cross-legged on the floor, waiting for Ayu to come home.

Chapter 210 Ayu and Tengu Mountain Fly Through

In the mountain forest near Weili Village, a purple-haired girl walked slowly forward carrying a bamboo basket. The clothes she wore had many patches, which showed that her family was poor.

She looked at the empty bamboo basket and sighed: "All the wild vegetables nearby have been picked. Let's go to a farther place tomorrow to have a look. I hope there will be a harvest."

Gently rubbing my withered belly, because I gained nothing today, I will be hungry again tonight.

"Alas~" The girl sighed deeply.

Due to the evil deeds of the Beast Pirates and the Kutan Family, most of the land and water sources in Wano have been polluted. Most of the land can no longer grow vegetables. Even the vegetables grown contain toxins. The same is true for most water sources. , contains toxins and is not drinkable.

That's why the food shortage in Weili Village is so serious. Villagers often go into the unpolluted mountain forests to find edible fruits and wild vegetables, as well as hunt wild beasts in the mountains and forests...

As a result, there are almost no wild vegetables and animals in the mountain forests near Weili Village. If you want to get food, you need to go further.

However, the obstacle that prevents the villagers of Weili Village from going further to find food is the beasts in the mountains and forests. Without enough strength, the result of crossing the mountains and forests is to feed the beasts in the mountains and forests...

The girl, who was full of worries, walked through the mountains and forests with ease, and soon arrived near her residence.

"Sniff..."

A gust of wind blew in the face, mixed with a rich aroma, causing the purple-haired girl to inhale continuously, looking for the source of the aroma.

"Gollum..."

Stimulated by the aroma, bursts of screams came from the girl's belly, and saliva was secreted rapidly...

"Hey~ Why is this my home?!"

After a while, the girl found the source of the fragrance, but she looked shocked.

"Is there someone in my family? Could it be the master... No, it can't be the master. He doesn't have such a good craftsmanship."

"Could it be...that it's Ace?!"

A black-haired young man wearing an orange cowboy hat appeared in the girl's mind. She immediately cheered, opened the door and ran in.

Inside the house, Fang Rui sat cross-legged at the low dining table, slowly opened his arms, and said to the girl who rushed in: "Welcome back, Ayu."

"Come and eat! I made a lot of delicious food~"

Fang Rui's invitation and the fragrant food did not cause the girl Ayu to cheer, but her eyes changed from disappointment to vigilance and fear.

"Who are you?!"

Ayu's figure was slightly tense, and her body turned slightly to the right, completely ready to turn around and run away.

"My name is Fang Rui."

After briefly introducing himself, Fang Rui comforted the girl: "Don't be so nervous. I don't mean any harm. After all, if I did, you would have no chance to talk to me, and there would be no need for me to cook so many dishes while waiting for you."

"You must know that I brought these ingredients with me. Have you ever seen anyone bring ingredients with them when doing bad things?"

Ayu felt that Fang Rui's explanation made sense, and her tense mind and body relaxed a little, but she still did not approach the dining table, maintaining a "ready, run!" posture.

Fang Rui wanted to say "Don't pose, it's useless", but he didn't say it in the end. It was not an important matter. Gaining Ayu's trust was the most important thing.

In the final analysis, the way of meeting was not quite right.

Fang Rui estimated that his image in Ayu's mind at the moment was that of a bad guy who broke into the house illegally.

As the saying goes, if you have the ability, use it, don’t hide it.

And...considering that he might not be able to deceive Ayu because he was a bit clumsy, Fang Rui added a few phantom sounds when speaking to increase his persuasiveness.

With the help of the phantom sound spell, Fang Rui successfully dispelled Ayu's wariness and enjoyed a delicious meal with her.

At the same time, he led the topic in the direction of how Ayu usually eats, and then led to how others were eating, leading Ayu to remember that her master had not eaten yet...

When Ayu stood up quickly and was about to run to find his master, Fang Rui stopped her with a speech.

"Don't worry, even if you find him now, the food will get cold. You should eat your fill first, and then we will bring some food to your master."

"...Okay." Ayu struggled for a while, then sat back at the dining table and speeded up her eating.

Half an hour later, Fang Rui carried the food box, which contained the hot food he had just cooked, and headed to Fei Che's residence in Tengu Mountain with Ayu.

Ayu's home is quite close to Tenguyama Hitotsu's residence. After all, Ayu is a six-year-old girl. As a guardian, how dare Tenguyama Hitotsu stay too far away.

Rather, the situation of living separately is unusual.

Perhaps it was a measure taken by Hitoru Tenguyama considering certain problems!

After all, his identity is not ordinary, and it will cause big trouble once exposed.

Even if his identity is not revealed, it would still be a big trouble if his collection of famous knives becomes known.

Fang Rui, who thought he had guessed the real situation, confidently asked Ayu about it, wanting to know if the real situation was the same as he guessed.

"No, that house used to be abandoned, but I later cleaned it up and used it as a workshop for weaving bamboo hats."

Ayu's expression was very strange, as if she was asking, "Brother, why do you think so."

By the way, Fang Rui's expression was stiff, and the answer was surprisingly close to life. His previous analysis was completely on the banana peel, and the correct answer was deviated from the beginning.

"So that's what it is...haha..."

After laughing awkwardly twice, Fang Rui changed the subject, pointed to somewhere in front of him and said, "Look, the big tree house!"

"Ah~ we've arrived at the master's house."

Looking in the direction Fang Rui pointed, Ayu screamed in surprise and ran quickly towards the big tree house.

Fang Rui was stunned for a while, then silently quickened his pace and walked towards the tree house.
