Chapter 241 Konda Village
"Young man, I'm sorry to bother you, but where ?"
Gu Sanqiu came to Gantian Village and greeted a snotty-nosed boy squatting under a tree.
"Eh? Are you an outsider?"
The boy raised his head, with tears still on his face.
"Yes, I want to talk to your village chief about something."
Gu Sanqiu walked over and sat under the tree: "Can you tell me what your village chief is doing now?"
NPCs in the game will often stay in one place, but this is not the case in reality.
As the head of the village, and because of the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order, in order to let the people of Konda Village continue to live a stable and peaceful life, Konda Densuke, an old man who can't even clean mushrooms, has to run around.
Of course, concealing the bad things done by young people in the village, which is derived from the relationship between neighbors where relatives protect each other, is not recommended.
"The village chief should be taking everyone to pick herbs."
The boy wiped the tears from his face and said, "In a few days, the big shots from Inazuma City will come to collect the herbs. I heard from the adults that this is a huge source of income for the village."
"Big brother, do you know what income is?"
"Well, you can understand it as making money."
"So that's how it is."
Gu Sanqiu handed the boy a handkerchief and said, "How come you, little guy, ran out of the village alone? Don't you know there are a lot of bad guys out there?"
"I'm not afraid."
The boy suddenly became proud: "Uncle Teshima is a famous samurai in our village. With him around, those bad guys don't have the courage to come to our village!"
Teshima?
The uncle whose Eye of God was taken away?
No, the time doesn’t match now, and I don’t know if the Eye of God is still in his hands.
"Okay, but it's still very dangerous for a child to come to a place like this by himself. Didn't your parents teach you these things?"
The world is generally like this, with wild monsters, treasure-hunting groups, and even some local monsters lurking everywhere. Even adults acting alone have to be careful, not to mention children.
"I, I don't want to go back."
The boy hugged his legs and lowered his head: "Mom and Dad are busy with work every day and have no time to accompany me."
"You feel lonely and want a friend?"
"No, not friends. I just want to have a good meal with them and talk to them."
The boy said: "Why do they have to work so hard? I am not one of those spoiled kids in big cities. I can obviously help to supplement the family income, so why don't they let me help?"
"Your parents are doing this for you, you know that."
"Yes, yes, but I don't like those expensive things. All I want is to have a good meal and chat together."
"That's how being a parent works. Seeing that you are a sensible child, they might think that these words are comforting to them."
Gu Sanqiu touched the child's head and said, "Besides, who said you are not a pampered child?"
"Eh? Am I? But I don't ask for very expensive toys and clothes, and I don't pester my parents to go to Inazuma Castle. Everyone says I'm very sensible."
The boy looked at Gu Sanqiu: "Big brother, am I not doing well enough?"
"No, you've done great."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "This phrase means living in a wealthy and affluent environment. The common explanation is wearing gold and silver."
"But for your own family, your parents will prepare the best conditions they can for you, and they will consider you first in everything."
"When I eat fish, I give you the boneless and most tender part. When I get new clothes, I always give you the first consideration."
"Although you don't have the luxury of having your clothes inlaid with gemstones, and you don't have attendants and servants at your disposal when you travel."
" But in your own home, you are like a king."
Gu Sanqiu smiled, stood up and extended his hand to the little boy.
"I'm sorry, but it seems a little too early to tell this to a child. Why don't you come with me to your village?"
"Since you don't know where to start, how about getting home on time and not making your parents worry too much?"
"The more they worry about you, the less your parents will be able to concentrate, and they will be more tired at work."
“Okay, okay!”
The little boy took Gu Sanqiu's hand and stood up: "Thank you, big brother. I will wash your handkerchief and return it to you."
"Take it for yourself, as a souvenir."
Gu Sanqiu touched the child's head and said, "Remember, this is a promise between you and your heart."
"Um!"
…
"That's how it is."
Gu Sanqiu picked up the tea and took a sip: "That's why I plan to wait for you, the village chief, to come back in the village."
"I see . But since this guest can say something like that, he must not be an ordinary wanderer."
Behind Densuke Konda were two muscular young men, who were obviously there to support the event.
Although the stranger in front of him did nothing after coming to the village, and even went to the wild to kill a few forest pigs and brought them back, and then prepared a snack for the people who stayed in the village in the square, the old man's unique shrewdness did not allow him to let his guard down.
"To be honest, even if you don't investigate what I said to the child, you should be able to understand it just by looking at the clothes I'm wearing."
"I'm very sorry. Recently, some unknown enemies have sneaked into the village and said some inappropriate things to the children."
"I see."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "Then I'll be frank. I came to the city to exchange some things."
"Change things?"
Densuke Konda was a little confused. What did this young man want?
Allegiance? Population?
"From your expression, it seems that you have some misunderstanding of what I said."
Gu Sanqiu opened a large bag he was carrying with him: "These are the things inside that I am using for exchange."
The sound of clanging continued to be heard, and long swords were poured out from the bag by Gu Sanqiu, mixed with some bows and crossbows, and a half-body armor that he had stripped off someone.
"This... this is the weapon of those wandering warriors!"
Konda Densuke's pupils trembled: "Young man, no, you, did you defeat them?"
"Defeat? I guess so."
Konda Densuke felt a chill in his heart. He understood what the other party meant, and at the same time he was certain that the person in front of him was not a good person.
Being friendly to others when nothing is going on and being able to kill people without blinking can indeed be reflected in the same person, but such highly contradictory characteristics will definitely make people extremely alert.
"I need to exchange for some food, a change of clothes, and a map to get through the White Fox Wilds and safely to Inazuma Castle."
"As a reward, these weapons are yours. Whether you choose to keep them for yourself or hand them over to the shogunate army in exchange for a reward is up to you."
