NOVEL NEXT Chapter 311 Simulation: Establishing a Village
Among barren mountains and wild ridges, insects buzzed incessantly, and occasionally, forest birds perched on branches, scrutinizing the three people walking through the woods.
"Why are you following us?" Su Jie asked Meng Xiaolan.
"If you can come here, naturally, so can I," Meng Xiaolan pouted, "By the way, you aren't just an ordinary martial artist, are you? Could you be the legendary cultivator?"
"No, I am just an ordinary martial arts practitioner," Su Jie calmly stated a fact.
Meng Xiaolan: "..."
Silence is the best answer.
"Do you sympathize with those disaster victims and want to find a way for them to survive?" Finally, it was Meng Xiaolan herself who broke the silence, "You are very naive; perhaps you live in a very affluent family, but I too have traveled outside for a time and can assure you that most people are selfish. It is already a great kindness to not trample on others when they are suffering."
A maid also persuaded, "Miss is right, Master Su Jie, you are a bit too naive."
Su Jie smiled faintly, "The world is like this, ordinary people cannot resist so-called fate, but I can, and I have the ability to, being aloof is not my desire."
"Moreover, this world always needs some naive people."
"Why can that person not be me?"
Meng Xiaolan was speechless.
Why doesn't he listen?
Or perhaps, does he really have the confidence?
Even the small Kun Country, with its vast territory stretching thousands of miles, most people can't even leave their small towns within their entire lives, yet Su Jie, no matter how fierce, is but one man.
"Su Jie, I don't even know what to say to you," Meng Xiaolan seemed helpless, but still followed closely behind Su Jie, not straying, especially since they had entered the ancient beasts' barren mountain, getting out was going to be difficult.
Better see what Su Jie is thinking.
Following the faint trails on the ground, Su Jie crossed through the gloomy woods. It took an hour, but he finally found a pond.
The pond's water was turquoise, with three or four scruffy, ragged individuals carefully collecting water, while another stood on a large stone by the pond, seemingly on the lookout.
That person saw Su Jie and others, his eyes filled with wariness and also a hint of confusion.
"Dog Two, look, there are three people, they don't look like refugees."
"They look like young masters."
"Why would the sons of a large household come here? This place is easy to enter, but impossible to leave!"
"Who knows?"
"They are walking towards us."
The five refugees did not leave but huddled together, warily watching Su Jie and the others.
However, when Su Jie approached them, their inner wariness relaxed slightly—their looks were so proper, they couldn't be bad people.
"May I ask, young master, where do you come from?" The man called Dog Two hugged his water bag, his thin arms like kindling, full of scratches, his skin darkened, but his eyes sharp.
"From Linghua Town," Su Jie replied.
"Young master, are you here looking for someone?" Dog Two felt, with such people coming to the barren mountain of ancient beasts, it must be to find someone. If he could help, perhaps he could follow the young man out and become a servant, even cleaning toilets would be okay.
The other few also thought of this and promptly volunteered.
"Young master, I know everyone, who are you looking for?"
"I can call out all their names!"
"I am strong!"
Su Jie took out five flatbreads and handed them over.
The five licked their lips and hastily took them, gobbling down with blissful expressions.
"Are these flatbreads that delicious?" Meng Xiaolan felt hungry herself.
"Although you knew about the hardships of the common people, you probably can't truly understand their feelings. For instance, if you were hungry for a couple of days, even a black lump of rice would probably be picked up and eaten," Su Jie sighed and then turned to the five who had finished the flatbreads, "I am indeed here to find someone, but not just one person, I'm trying to find all those who have entered here."
"What is young master doing?" Dog Two, uneducated and not understanding lofty principles, felt Su Jie's purpose was complicated.
What did that matter?
As long as there was food, he would not hesitate even to kill or set fires!
"I want to let you live like humans," Su Jie calmly stated.
Live, like humans?
Dog Two was stunned, and so were the other four.
This young master is really— C.on.tent. sourc.e%d@ fr%om- M*V&4LE.MPY.R – My V&i@rtua+l Lib%r!ary% E&m%pire#.^
A great kind person!
With the five leading, Su Jie arrived at the living area of the survivors.
A cave.
Outside the cave was a clearing where many people were banging on stones or grinding them, making the most primitive tools, reenacting the Stone Age.
When Dog Two and the others returned, everyone in the clearing turned their gaze on Su Jie, some wary, some envious, some confused, some anxious.
They were thrown into this barren mountain to fend for themselves; going out meant death.
Why?
Because they were refugees, homeless, and despised by everyone.
But why would such a well-dressed young master end up here?
Mysterious indeed!
When Dog Two and the others explained Su Jie's purpose to everyone, the emaciated refugees immediately prostrated before Su Jie: "A living immortal! A living immortal!"
Su Jie was not stingy, pulling out a large bag of flatbreads.
Smelling the aroma, the refugees swarmed, but were intimidated by the sudden authority of Su Jie, their eyes full of fear.
"Line up, one each."
"Yes! Yes!"
The refugees dared not make trouble, lining up in turn to take a flatbread from Su Jie's hands, grateful and running off to the side to eat, tears flowing from their eyes from time to time.
