Chapter 73
==================
Because Lina was jogging all the way over, people on the street saw her and followed her.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
For nearly two months, no one was not concerned about them.
Gerry read every letter from Peth carefully, and every time he saw the sentence at the end, "No news of the caravan yet", he could not hide his disappointment.
It has been so long that everyone is even worried that they are in danger.
"Xiaohong said Uncle Garin was seriously injured," Lina said, wiping her tears as she handed the letter to Lianyun. "Let's go pick them up."
Lian Yun took the letter and saw Pei Si's description of the caravan's situation.
The caravan was discovered by guards while patrolling nearby last night.
At that time, they camped not far from Kuoge City. The moment they saw the guards, their first reaction was to pack their bags and prepare to run away.
Fortunately, the guards explained the relationship between the current Kuoge City and Bubu Town in time. Garin asked a few questions about Lian Yun's characteristics, and only followed them back to the city after getting confirmation.
The guard then reported the situation to Pei Si, who checked their identities and hurriedly asked someone to treat their injuries. On the other hand, he wrote a letter and waited for Xiao Hong to pick it up this morning.
"Is it true? Sister, let's go quickly!" Lina said pitifully, pulling Lian Yun's sleeve.
"The letter says that Garin's condition has stabilized and they're sending someone back. Don't worry."
Lian Yun patted her back soothingly and took out the map again.
This is what Lian Yun told Pei Si. If there is an emergency, she will check the map directly.
Lian Yun zoomed in on the city of Kuoge with two fingers and soon saw the castle. At the gate of the castle, he saw the caravans of Peth and Garin. Several people were packing their few luggages and preparing to set off.
Garin was sitting on the camel, with one of his arms broken and fixed, so he could only hold the reins of the camel with one hand.
Next to him was Rock, still wearing a cloak. He still didn't show his face, but from his tattered and torn cloak, it could be seen that his situation was not much better than Garin's.
"Uncle Garin!" Although she knew the other party couldn't hear her, Lina couldn't help but shout.
She saw several scars on Uncle Garin's face.
"how so……"
Lina bit her lower lip, tears couldn't stop falling: "One, two, three... eight. Why are there only eight people, where are the other uncles?"
Gerry also saw clearly that this was a broken caravan. Even the camels and cargo boxes they took with them when they left were gone.
"Where's Barry!" Lena was suddenly stunned. She wiped her tears and opened her eyes carefully: "Where's Barry!?"
Barry is not among the eight people!
Lian Yun remembered the smart brown-haired boy.
He was the pathfinder of Garin's caravan. Garin once praised him for his bravery and fighting skills, but the village limited his development.
That day, Lena deliberately did not use medicine to delay her injury in order to stay in the town. Barry was angrier than anyone else.
Lian Yun could tell that her anger was not due to anything else, but simply because Lina failed to take care of herself.
"Lina..." Lian Yun hugged the little girl.
What they experienced in the past two months was more than what they had experienced in the past ten years. Lina grew up in an instant from an innocent and naive little girl with gray hair. She inevitably gained more experience and her state of mind also changed.
She naturally realized what kind of feelings Barry, who was a few years older than her, had for her.
Isn't she the same?
On the day of separation, the little girl with gray hair and pigtails secretly muttered "idiot".
How she wished Barry would stay too!
But he had gone with the caravan, and she was willing to wait for him to return.
Lina had originally thought that Barry, who loved the village as much as she did, might find it difficult to accept the fact that the village was destroyed. She was willing to accompany him through the difficult days and tell him how she survived.
She also wanted to tell him that she had a unique career in Bubu Town and new skills, which the lord's sister said would be very powerful.
I wonder if Barry has made it past Level 5? She can help him.
She still had a lot to say to him.
...something I have never said to anyone else, not even to my sister.
"Barry must have gotten lost." Lena muttered softly, but she stopped crying. "Barry is the stupidest. He can't find his way without following Uncle Garlin. He must have gotten lost."
Lian Yun and Ge Li looked at each other and didn't try to persuade her anymore.
"They will probably arrive in the town tonight." Lian Yun looked at Gary: "They don't know you've moved to the town yet. I'm afraid..."
Gerry nodded solemnly: "Everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time and has already packed up their house."
...but I didn't expect that there would be a few more rooms now.
"I have already thought about how to tell them this. Adults don't have to worry too much. My villagers are all strong children and will definitely be able to get through this." said Gary.
The old man stood upright despite his short body, and his face was full of wrinkles but he did not look worn or tired.
He can support an entire village with his small body, and he can certainly give the caravan the confidence to keep going.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lian Yun said softly.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." A smile appeared on Gary's face.
Who in this world doesn’t have a hard time?
Their hard work has purpose and results, which is rare enough in this mundane world.
Because of the return of the Garin caravan, Lian Yun expected that everyone would find it difficult to devote themselves to work for the whole day. In order to avoid mistakes and injuries, Lian Yun planned to give them a day off.
But everyone refused.
“Instead of spending time in anxiety and waiting, it is better to seize the time in front of you.”
This is the result of everyone's decision.
The cooperative caravan arrived before noon. Their optimistic captain was called Xibo. This was their first attempt at cooperation, and I wonder what they brought.
Xibo appeared at the edge of the town with three cargo boxes. Lianyun arrived with her men. Xibo saw her from afar and waved to her.
"Hey! My Lord, mission accomplished!"
Xibo smiled brightly, dispelling the morning gloom for Lianyun and the others.
Lian Yun also smiled unconsciously: "What did you bring?"
As Xibo asked someone to open the box, he said, "Our journey was smooth. We encountered a group of gangsters on the way, but they didn't give us any trouble because we were pulling an empty box."
"only……"
"What?"
Xibo spoke carefully, "They asked us if we knew what the 'Sun Moon Cult' was?"
As expected, Lian Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems that the sign I threw down worked." Lanna said.
At that time, he deliberately let the tiger beastman escape and left the sign behind, all for today.
"News still has to be passed on internally to be fast." Lian Yun sighed, "This efficient GG, which doesn't cost us a penny and doesn't consume any manpower, is really great."
Presumably, the existence of the "Sun and Moon Cult" has been passed on by word of mouth among the orc "robbers".
Just hearing about it is not enough.
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Lana, you still need to work harder."
Lanna nodded in agreement, "It's time to add more manpower to the mine."
Xibo listened with some curiosity: "What? Master has successfully tamed them?"
Lian Yun corrected his mistake: "It's not about taming, but persuading. In the future, they will be able to move in and become part of the town."
They are orcs, but they are also human beings, not emotionless, hopeless beasts who are bent on killing.
Now they have developed good working habits, working from 8 am to 6 pm. If they don't want to eat at work, they can take on tasks during the lunch break to earn more points, and then go to Abe's tavern to improve their meals.
Recently, it was discovered that they can talk to professional elves. Lian Yun happened to pass by an orc and an elf one day, and unexpectedly found that the huge orc was secretly crying to the elf.
Lian Yun assured that he did not eavesdrop on purpose, but his voice was too loud, and even if he did not want to listen, he still heard his confession, such as "I really don't want to do such a bad thing, I am so bad...", "If I could do it again, I would definitely choose to come here to move bricks. Bricks are easy to move, much easier than robbery..."
The elf sat on the molten crystal and listened to his confession with a "peaceful" face, nodding from time to time.
Since then, the elves have opened new businesses. Even if the orcs have not moved into the town as residents, they can be seen everywhere holding the molten crystal with a pious look on their faces and muttering to themselves during their rest time.
"It's so amazing!" Xibo exclaimed in amazement. "So the Sun-Moon Cult is a name you deliberately left behind to attract more orcs?"
Lian Yun admitted generously: "Bad news always travels faster than good news, doesn't it?"
Xibo sighed in admiration.
He took Lian Yun to the cargo box, which was filled with seeds of various colors and shapes.
"These were collected from several small villages."
"So many?!" Lian Yun really didn't expect that there were so many seeds of all sizes in the small village in the other world, and many of them were ones she recognized.
Pine nuts, peanuts...that one looks like an acorn?
"Well, we originally planned to buy rare seeds under the pretext of buying them, but once people heard the word 'rare', they seemed reluctant to sell these useless, hidden items."
Xibo grinned. "Later, I followed the adults' backup suggestion and changed the offer to 'recycle old seeds, waste seeds, and seeds that no one planted. Exchange old seeds for copper coins, cloth, and pots.' Sure enough, many people came to exchange!"
