I woke up and became a mountain!
No big deal, it's just a mountain, right? No need to eat or drink, how great.
Wait, this is another world?!
Xianxia, or something bizarre?
...Chapter 220 I'm talking about you, why do you click on me?
Feiba nodded in agreement: "Okay, then be careful on the road and don't say too much. If they ask about this rare training opportunity, just be vague and explain in detail when you see them."
Wei Xing patted Corey on the shoulder and reminded him, "Be sure to act with caution. If you encounter something wrong, don't force it. Send a signal and come back immediately."
Corey responded and hurried to the agreed location.
Feng Yi and others saw Corey's figure from afar. They held their weapons tightly in their hands vigilantly until they confirmed that it was Corey himself, then they relaxed their vigilance.
"Corey, it's really you!" Mu Yao shouted in surprise.
Corey walked forward with a smile: "It's me, I finally waited for you. Let's go, Weixing is waiting for you in the town."
Feng Yi asked, "Corey, you urged us to come before, but you didn't tell us what it was about. You just said it was very important and we would regret it if we didn't come. What was it about?"
Corey smiled and said, "Don't worry. When we meet Wei Xingze, he will tell you in detail. Anyway, it must be a good thing and will be of great help to your cultivation."
Although everyone was full of doubts, they knew that Corey didn't want to say more, so they stopped asking.
Since Corey doesn't seem to have any problems, it shouldn't be a trap. Corey wouldn't lie to them, right?
When they arrived outside Quanchun Town, Corey also introduced them to a village chief named "Xu Runiang", who took on a job.
Friends:? ? ? ?
Seeing his friends' puzzled expressions, Corey explained with a smile, "The job I took was to help Village Chief Xu recruit refugees and ensure their safety along the way. Recently, everyone has seen that the disaster outside is serious and there are many refugees."
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "So, there are so few refugees outside Quanchun Town, is it because you recruited them away?"
Corey nodded. "Yes, Village Chief Xu is kind-hearted and wants to help as many suffering people as possible. We can save a lot of lives along the way."
Mu Yao looked at Xu Runiang curiously and asked, "Village Chief Xu, why do you go to so much trouble to recruit refugees?"
Xu Runiang smiled slightly, her eyes showing gentleness and determination: "We are all suffering. In this year of famine, any help we can give is a helping hand. There are also many capable people among the refugees. They can inject new vitality into the village. If we all work together, life will get better."
Bella nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is. Village Chief Xu is indeed a man with a sense of justice."
At this time, Lei Meng asked carelessly: "Then how can we help?"
Xu Runiang looked at Lei Meng, her eyes full of gratitude: "If you don't mind and can help escort the refugees, that would be great. Although the journey is short, there are monsters everywhere. With the help of strange people like you, the safety of the refugees will be more guaranteed."
Feng Yi and others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
They are people who value friendship and loyalty, and when they heard about this, they were also moved by Xu Runiang's kindness.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Corey smiled and said, "Then let's get ready and set off early tomorrow morning. We're recruiting quite a few refugees this time, so we'll have to put in a lot of effort."
Everyone followed Corey to Wanjia Village. As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they were shocked by the scene before them.
Outside the village, there was a large piece of wasteland being reclaimed. Countless villagers were busy working on it, waving hoes, raising dust, and shouting and working sounds intertwined, forming a picture of bustling activity.
"This...this is too spectacular!" Lei Meng widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Feng Yi couldn't help but exclaim: "How much manpower would it take to build such a large piece of land?"
When they learned that many of these busy villagers were refugees who had been recruited previously, they were so surprised that they were speechless.
Mu Yao frowned and said with a worried look on her face: "There is such a severe famine outside. Can they feed so many refugees? How much food will it take?"
Bella was also puzzled: "Yes, even if there are so many wastelands, it takes a lot of time from reclamation to harvest. How do they survive during this time?"
At this time, Xu Runiang came over, seemed to see their confusion, and explained with a smile: "You don't know, our village has stored some food before, and with everyone working together to reclaim wasteland and plant some crops with short growth cycles, we can still maintain it for the time being.
Moreover, after the refugees arrived, they brought a lot of new skills and ideas. They helped build water conservancy facilities and improved planting methods, which greatly improved our efficiency. ”
As he was talking, an old man who looked like a refugee came over and greeted him warmly: "Village Chief Xu, thanks to you for taking us in, we now have a place to stay and can earn our living with our own hands."
Xu Runiang responded with a smile: "It's not easy for everyone. From now on, we will be a family."
Corey added: "Also, we have cooperation with surrounding villages and exchange supplies with each other, which can also relieve some pressure."
After hearing this, the doubts in Feng Yi and others' hearts gradually dissipated. Someone who can do such a "good deed" should not be a bad person, right?
But, if they remember correctly, Wei Xing is not from Wanjia Village, right?
After Corey handed in his mission card and received his contribution value card, he prepared to take them back to Longyang Village.
Everyone: ...
They said that they remembered that Wei Xingze's hometown was not called this name, so it turned out that this guy Corey was "using his public power for personal gain" and took private jobs.
Lei Meng stepped forward and put his arm around Corey's shoulders: "That's not fair of you. You're here to pick us up, so why are you doing private work? Anyone who sees it gets a share."
Corey stuffed the contribution card and said with a smile, "I'm different from you. You guys eat your fill and your whole family doesn't go hungry, but I have to support my family. Of course I have to make more money to give my precious daughter more things she likes. She used to spend a lot of money on her studies."
"Oh, you have a daughter?!"
"Yeah, don't you know?"
Lei Meng and others shook their heads, they didn't know. He also questioned Corey, saying that it was too much for him to not tell them about such an important matter as his daughter.
His daughter, isn't she theirs?
Corey also teased Ling Yu and Mu Yao, saying that they have been working together for so long, when will they get married? When they have children, his daughter will be old enough to be an "auntie".
Mu Yao blushed and didn't dare to look at Ling Yu's expression.
Ling Yu: "...I'm talking about you, why do you click on me?"
When he said this, he noticed that Mu Yao seemed a little lost.
But what could he do?
In his current condition, he doesn’t know how many years he can live, and he doesn’t want to harm him.
Therefore, Ling Yu could only harden his heart and of course did not see it.
Corey's eyes moved between the two of them, and he couldn't help but smirk in his heart.
Because he knew that when they met the Lord Mountain God, Ling Yu's worries would disappear. By then, he will be able to be with Mu Yao and give Mu Yao an explanation.
