Chapter 316: Magnet Town and Star Return's Request【Five K】

On the azure blue sky, white clouds are like flakes, and a blue is like washing.

Under the illumination of two warm suns, one big and one small, the vast Baibu Mountains, which are covered by snow all the year round, are shrouded in clouds and mists.

Occasionally, a few eagle-type monsters with vibrating wings whizzed past, making a harsh low-pitched sound of "clucking".

Beneath the endless white peaks, there is a vast expanse of emerald green fields.

The breeze blew, butterflies fluttered, and flowers swayed.

The green plains full of colorful wildflowers contrast sharply with the towering white peaks, making the whole scene quite epic.

Right where snow-capped peaks meet green plains.

There is a small town standing there, which is the destination of Lei Xiao and others this time: Magnet Town.

A hundred years ago, this town at the foot of the mountain was lucky enough to discover several rare mineral veins one after another, attracting gold prospectors from the surrounding area.

This made this little-known town, once very popular and very prosperous.

However, after the gold diggers, the frenzied mining one after another, when these veins dried up one after another.

This town, like a mine hole riddled with holes, became lifeless, and suddenly returned to its inconspicuous appearance.

A mining town without ore veins will naturally be ignored.

Until a few years ago, a new vein was discovered again.

This time, the current Magnet City Lord seized the opportunity to jointly develop with the former Kong Qing City Lord.

Strictly control the number of foreign gold diggers, and firmly control the mining of the ore veins in their own hands.

So far, the town seems to be prospering again.

Inside the towering city walls, the outskirts of Magneto.

There are low and dilapidated houses one after another, and a large number of old wooden buildings are scattered, which looks very messy.

With a gust of cold wind blowing by, the crumbling wooden doors and windows immediately made a sound of "squeaky, squeaky", as if they might be blown away by the wind at any time.

Due to its location under the snow-capped mountains, the environment here is extremely humid.

From time to time, the melted snow water that flows down from the mountain is mixed with the domestic sewage of the residents, forming criss-crossing stinky gutters, which constantly exudes a pungent and unpleasant smell.

In a narrow alley, a little girl in ragged clothes was hiding beside a rotten and blackened wooden wall, creeping forward.

She was thin and scrawny, clutching an old insect net in her hand, and her eyes, dull and dull due to malnutrition, were rather sharp, staring at a blue stone pigeon that had just fallen in front of her.

Looking at the first-order demon beast that had almost no lethality, the thin and thin girl's face could not help showing a touch of longing.

You know, she hasn't eaten a full meal for a long time, let alone meat that has been missing for a long time.

Immediately, just as the little girl saw the opportunity, she bent down slightly, just as she was about to pounce.

A stone suddenly fell into the stinky ditch next to the girl.

In an instant, the turbid water splash that stirred up not only splashed the stunned little girl.

Moreover, even the prey she longed for, the blue stone pigeon, had already been frightened and flew away.

"Hahaha!"

Not far away, looking at the girl's embarrassed appearance, several little boys who were also ragged, covered their stomachs and started laughing.

Immediately afterwards, the little boy who was at the head stepped forward and pointed at the little girl with a wooden stick: "Outlanders, go back to your Kongqing Town, we don't welcome you in Magnet Town!"

"That's right, it's because of your presence that the food we already lacked has become even more scarce!"

Another little boy with a sallow face also echoed: "You are the worms here!"

"Obviously it was your city lord who didn't let us go, do you think we would stay here?" Opposite, the little girl covered in water was not to be outdone. One small hand stood on the insect net, and the other small hand akimbo retorted. .

"Nonsense! Our Lord of the City, it's too late to hate you! How can I keep you?

You know, with the protection of the Lord of the City, we can live here safely! "

The little boy at the head picked up a stone again, pretending to throw it, and said, "Unlike you strangers, I'm afraid your city lord has abandoned you, right? What a pitiful **** without a city lord."

"...You're just talking nonsense! Our Lord City Lord of Kongqing Town is the most powerful Lord City Lord, and he will definitely come to pick us up!" After hearing this, after a little confusion, the little girl's dirty little face appeared , suddenly showing a firm color.

"Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year!"

I saw the little boy at the head, and started laughing at the little girl again, and sneered: "Recognize the reality, your city lord has already abandoned you, poor bastard!"

After the words were finished, the other little boys also made grimace and echoed: "Poor idiot, homeless poor idiot!"

And, they all started throwing small stones at the little girl again.

"You succeeded in angering me!"

After dodging a few small stones, the thin and thin little girl threw away the insect net, and a faint wave of magical energy began to appear on her body.

Immediately, several dirty water **** condensed above the dirty puddle beside her, and then under her command, they rushed towards the group of little boys crookedly.

On the other side, after being attacked by several sewage balls, the little boys who were soaking wet saw that the situation was not good, so they ran away sneering.

"Our Lord of Kongqing Town, will definitely take us home! Definitely!"

Glancing fiercely at a few people, the little girl picked up the insect net again. The thin and thin figure was obviously very lonely in the long alley.

After returning to being alone, she saw a hint of hesitation in her firm eyes again, and muttered to herself, "But the Lord of the City must be very busy, right? Will he really come to pick us up?"

Thinking of this, the little girl's stomach began to growl. After using her own sewage bomb technique, she felt that she was even more hungry now.

"When was the last time I ate fragrant bread? It was probably my birthday the year before last, right? But, I forgot what it tasted like, it should be sweet..."

Just as she swallowed her saliva while her long eyelashes drooped down, she carefully recalled the scene of eating rough bread at that time.

Before she knew when, five strange tall figures had already appeared in front of her.

"You... who are you?"

Feeling the strangeness in front of her, the short and thin little girl immediately took a step back, holding the insect net tightly with both hands, and leaning against the mottled wooden wall, her small face was full of warning.

On the other side, I saw a young and pretty woman with big eyes and a pointed witch hat. She bent down towards her and asked with a smile: "Little girl, may I ask if this is the residence of the residents of Kongqing Town? district?"

There is no doubt that the person who comes is naturally Chaoyan.

By her side were Lei Xiao, Hu Zhang, A Ling and A Bing.

As for Lin, Fang Hai and the others, after entering Magnet Town, under Lei Xiao's order, they have already split up.

"Yes, I am a resident of Kongqing Town!"

Looking up at Chaoyan with a single ponytail in front of her, the little girl was a little timid, but her voice was very firm and clear: "What are you doing? My family is very poor! The people here in Kongqing Town are very poor. !"

"Don't worry, we don't have any malicious intentions." I saw Lei Xiao stepped forward, lowered his body slightly, and smiled patiently: "We are also from Kongqing Town."

After he finished speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a blue carved headband embroidered with the characteristic pattern of Kongqing Town appeared on the palm of his hand.

"It's exactly the same pattern as my mother's headband!" Seeing this, the little girl's face that was full of vigilance calmed down a little, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out.

On the other side, looking at the sallow-faced and frail little girl in front of him, Lei Xiao's brows couldn't help but knit together.

Whether it was the pungent stinky ditch in front of him or the crumbling wooden simple prefab houses around, the environment here was obviously much worse than he had imagined.

You know, this is the first time Lei Xiao has seen such a small and malnourished local indigenous child who has been in this different world for such a long time.

What's more, this is still the residents of Kongqing Town under his rule.

"In this matter, I naturally have to intervene myself, so let's investigate it nearby.

In addition, judging from the scale of such a huge slum, it seems that there are many local residents of Magnet Town who also live here.

By the way, the family of Maid Xinghui must also hurry up to find them. This is the top priority of this trip. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao lifted his spirits, and while listening to the faint sound of ore mining, he asked the little girl in front of him, "All of you adults here should go to the mine, right?"

"Yeah." On the other side, the little girl nodded and said as she was accustomed to: "They usually go home for a night of rest for about a week, and then work for another week."

"I have to say, it's really a nest of snakes and rats. The means of this Magnet City Lord is simply inferior to the previous Kong Qing City Lord."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly, then thought to himself: "Of course, these people are all my residents now, so it's not his Magnet City Lord's turn to have the final say."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he suddenly heard the little girl in front of him, and his stomach made a sound of gurgling.

On the other side, the little girl's thin face immediately turned red, and quickly explained: "It's not me, I'm not hungry..."

"Chaoyan, please start your food-changing performance." Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao stretched out his hand to Chaoyan.

"Understood, Lord Lord." Looking at the thin little girl in front of him, Chaoyan didn't hesitate, and there was an extra piece of butter toast drenched with honey in his hand, which he respectfully handed to Lei Xiao.

"This...is this bread?"

Seeing clearly the honey butter toast in Lei Xiao's hands, the little girl's thin face suddenly showed an unbelievable look.

Looking at the delicious food that was so close in front of her that she had just remembered, the eager little girl first swallowed a mouthful of spit.

Then, holding back his saliva, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, uncle... No, big brother, this food is too expensive. I have no money and can't afford it."

"This is my reward for answering your question."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao insisted on handing the bread to the other person's small hand. Lei Xiao then instructed Chaoyan to tie the carved headband just now and also tie a beautiful single ponytail to the little girl.

On the other side, the little girl happily took the bread. The little girl just wanted to take a big bite, but stopped halfway.

He looked at Lei Xiao with a gloomy look and said embarrassedly: "Big brother, I want to leave this to my father to eat, okay? He just broke his leg in the mine a few days ago and is currently recovering at home. ."

Immediately, the little girl's eyes lit up and she said, "By the way, my father knows a lot of things, why don't big brother go home with me?"

"Okay, let's do it like this." After speaking, Lei Xiao took a large piece of identical bread from Chaoyan's hand again, and promised to give this piece to the little girl as well.

The other party was full of joy and began to chew.

At this time, I saw the little girl's face full of mud, only two rows of white and fine teeth were shining, which made people wonder whether to laugh or cry.

Next, on the way to the little girl's house, Lei Xiao learned.

The little girl's name is Xinggui, there are only two parents at home, and there is also a sister who is said to be far away in the capital.

However, when this sister left home, Xinggui had not yet been born, so she never met.

Hearing this, I was surprised.

After repeated confirmation, Lei Xiao finally confirmed.

It turns out that this little girl named Xinggui is the biological sister of the maid Xinghui!

At this time, he looked at the thin little girl in front of him who quickly swallowed a large piece of bread.

Lei Xiao sighed involuntarily, took another glass of juice from Chaoyan, and handed it to him.

"Thank you eldest brother, this feels like a birthday! When Xinggui grows up, he will definitely invite eldest brother to eat such delicious food!"

Gratefully took the juice, Xinggui bowed solemnly to Lei Xiao, and finally showed a long-lost and satisfied smile on his thin little face.

Immediately, Xinggui held the half-drinking juice in both hands, and on his face, there was a dignified expression that was completely incompatible with his age.

She raised her head and asked Lei Xiao, "By the way, big brother, since you are also from Kongqing Town, do you know our Lord of the City?"

"Lord City Lord?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and replied softly, "What do you have to do with City Lord?"

"To be honest, big brother, people here are bullying us, saying that we are worms in Magnet Town, and that I am a poor homeless worm, so I want to ask the Lord of the City to take us home."

On the other side, I saw Xinggui smoking his little nose full of mud, and said: "My father and mother, and the village chief grandfather also said that it is impossible for the city lord to come to save us, because the city lord is too big. Busy, forget us all.

However, I believe that he will definitely remember, he will definitely come to take us home! "

"Lord Lord..." Hearing this, Chaoyan and the others on the side also looked at Lei Xiao with some emotion.

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, he has already told me that the residents of Kongqing Town will naturally not be managed by others, and will come and take you back."

"Really? That's great! I knew that Lord City Master would definitely think of us!" Hearing this, Xinggui jumped up with joy and said excitedly, "After I go back, I must tell everyone the good news. !"

In this way, in the sound of Xinggui's joyous singing and laughter, one after another passed through several dark alleys full of stinky ditches.

Finally, it stopped in front of a dilapidated log cabin.

"Big brother, this is my residence." Nodding to Lei Xiao, Xinggui jumped open the creaky door.

"Father, I brought a few residents of our Kongqing Town! They are so good, and they invited Xinggui to eat!" A crisp voice sounded, and Xinggui shouted.

Immediately, another middle-aged male voice came from the wooden house: "Xinggui, be quiet, the village chief grandpa and several other grandpas are all here."

Walking into the room and stepping on the creaking rotting floor, Lei Xiao noticed.

This wooden house can be described as a family with four walls, it is very dilapidated, and there is almost no complete furniture.

Only in the corner of the house, there were two low wooden beds, one large and one small.

At the same time, a strong musty smell entered Lei Xiao's nasal cavity.

Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered and he found out further.

On the big bed, there was a middle-aged man with a pale face, and beside him, there were a few thin old men with sallow complexions.

Through the breath, it can be clearly judged that these people are just a group of malnourished ordinary farmers.

"I'm sorry my friend, because I'm injured, I can't get up to greet me." Immediately, the middle-aged man nodded slightly to Lei Xiao and said politely.

At this time, since they were all wearing illusion cloaks, they just took off their hoods, so they were still dressed as ordinary people.

"This young man, you said you came from Kongqing Town?"

Looking up and down, the plainly dressed Lei Xiao, headed by the white-haired old man, immediately opened his mouth and said, "For the sake of my fellow villagers, this old man told me bluntly, please leave here quickly.

Once discovered by those guys, I am afraid that when I want to leave, I will not be able to leave! "

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Lei Xiao, who had a calm expression after hearing the words, asked with a slight smile.

"Naturally it's because of the mine garrison in Magnet Town!" On the other side, the white-haired old man headed him sighed heavily.

Then he shook his head and said, "That's a bunch of guys who kill people without blinking an eye. If they hadn't reset the card, we would have fled back to Kongqing Town, where would we be working for them in this place."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a thoughtful look.

On his way into town, he did notice.

The garrison of Magnet Town has extremely strict inspections and requires a pass to enter and exit.

Therefore, his party naturally came in through the wall.

"Old gentleman, wasn't this mine developed by Kongqing Town and Magnet Town together? In the end, why did you end up under the control of Magnet Town? Is there no manager of Kongqing Town here?" Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but reveal With a look of doubt, he asked.

"Hey, young man, you don't know something." On the other side, the white-haired old man headed slowly shook his head, showing a helpless look.
