Chapter 65

"Sorry, Broly-san, I still want to stay in the village."

The settlement fee given to Damu easily solved the difficulty his village faced, but when the boy had to choose between leaving with Broly or staying in the village, he chose to continue staying in the village.

He felt very sorry about this.

"Damu, staying here, aren't you afraid you'll encounter problems again in the future, and your grandpa will sell you off again?"

Luosang was somewhat angry.

"My grandpa is already over sixty, he doesn't have many years left to live, he sold me for the sake of the village, this village is the place that gave birth to me and raised me……"

Damu had his own reasons, but he still lowered his head, he felt he was being somewhat cheap, clearly having met such a good big brother as Broly, and so many good companions, he could completely go to other places with them and live a not bad life.

"It's fine, anyway, just stay where you feel happy."

Unlike the angry little companion, Broly didn't think it was anything.

Damu chose to stay, if that is a kind of happiness for him, then stay.

There is nothing more important than pursuing happiness.

"Nahashu, give him another settlement fee."

"Broly-san?"

"Even drinking water costs money here, prices are high, increasing the settlement fee a bit is only right."

Nahashu was silent for a moment, then silently packed another bag of money and handed it to Damu.

Amidst the boy's tearful farewell, Broly and the others left Rubber Tree Village, heading toward the villages of the remaining three children in the Kaxisi Central Region.

When they arrived at the second village, this village's situation was better than Rubber Tree Village, although they were still struggling on the food and clothing line, this year they didn't need to rely on selling children to get through the crisis.

The second child returned home smoothly, Broly likewise gave double the settlement fee, that child's parents were just ordinary villagers, they could only thank them in a low-key manner.

In the evening, Broly and the others arrived at the third village, but the third village was dilapidated, asking around in the nearby town, they learned that village had the misfortune of encountering a Danger Beast attack, and had been deserted for two months already.

As for whether anyone survived, no one knew, after all no one was interested, and they weren't related, therefore, the third child's return home failed.

And this girl with exquisite features cried for a while, fortunately she had companions by her side, Merad indicated she knew how to comfort people, and entered the room to comfort that girl.

The next day, the girl who had lost her home indeed recovered her spirit, Broly was somewhat curious how Merad did it.

"This is a technique I self-taught, do you want to learn it, if you want to learn, I can teach you."

Regarding this, Merad very excitedly indicated that as long as Broly wanted to learn, she could hand-in-hand teach this technique of comforting people.

However, before Broly could say he wanted to learn, Main ran over and pulled him away.

"What's wrong, Main?"

"Merad's methods of comforting people are too weird, she uses her hands to stroke people's bodies, and uses her tongue to lick other people's ears."

When Main said this, her small face was all red, she instinctively felt Merad's methods were very improper.

"If you want to learn, you're welcome to crawl into my quilt anytime."

Merad smiled and said from that side, not stopping Main's action of pulling Broly away.

"Stroking others with hands and licking ears with tongue, that can comfort people?"

Broly imagined that scene, feeling he had learned another new knowledge.

As for crawling into Merad's quilt, he already knew how, why crawl into a quilt? A quilt is more comfortable sleeping alone, at least you don't have to worry about killing people in your dreams.

In the morning, leaving the inn, the small team split in two, Broly took Nahashu and the fourth child Tulike back to the other's home.

The others stayed in the town, helping investigate whether there were survivors in the third village, seeing if they could find the family of the girl comforted by Merad last night, who might still be alive.

"Grab him, don't let that bastard run!"

Just as they arrived at the fourth village…… hmm, should call it a town without walls yet, Broly and the three heard clamorous shouts coming from the alleyway to the side.

"Please, let me hide for a bit."

A middle-aged man hugging blueprints, hair somewhat messy, rushed out from the alley, upon seeing the carriage on this side he directly rushed over, first jumped onto the carriage, then fluidly lay down, and in a low voice requested the two children in the carriage like this. "Anyone here?"

Not long after, a group of people wearing green robes ran out from the alley.

Each holding a fork staff, looking aggressive.

"Kids on the carriage, did you see anyone run past just now?"

Broly's trouser leg was tugged, the man lying in the carriage compartment showed him a pleading gaze, Broly scratched his head, then casually pointed a direction to the people outside: "There was indeed a person who ran out just now, he directly ran that way, very fast, disappeared in a flash."

"Chase quickly, we must burn the blueprints with which that bastard Batu Nan blasphemed the Oasis God."

Outside the carriage, the group of green-robed people didn't even thank him, just chased in the direction Broly pointed.

A whole group rushed off, in just a few breaths' time they disappeared around the corner.

After they left, the man hiding on the carriage let out a big breath of relief.

"Little friends, thank you for giving me cover."

This person was quite polite in thanking, reached into his pocket and fumbled, under the gaze of Broly and Tulike, fumbled for a while but couldn't fumble out anything, and became somewhat embarrassed.

"Sorry, fled in a hurry, didn't bring anything on me, can't give you any reward."

Broly waved his hand, he didn't care much about reward, just somewhat curious.

"Why are those people chasing you, did you do something bad?"

"Those people are believers of the Kaxisi Oasis God Sect, because I wanted to move earth on the riverbed, which goes against their doctrine, so they're targeting me."

"Move earth?"

"That's digging a spring eye, I want to re-dig a spring eye on the dried-up riverbed of Kaxisi, let that dried-up riverbed have water flow again."

Batu Nan spoke thus, then climbed down from the carriage, but his somewhat poor dismounting technique made it seem like he fell off.

With an "aiyo" sound, this person should have sprained his foot, but limping along, he still hugged his blueprints preparing to leave.

"Hey, you guys hurry up and go too, otherwise when that bunch of Oasis God Sect guys fail to catch anyone and return, they'll definitely pester you, make things difficult for you."

The children on the carriage helped him, Batu Nan couldn't let them be implicated by him.

"Broly-san, I inquired... eh, who is this?"

Nahashu returned at this time, saw a lame-legged man by the carriage, and couldn't help but ask.

"A person who wants to dig a spring eye; speaking of which, what is a spring eye?"

Broly introduced him briefly, then asked the question.

"A spring eye should be a place where a lot of water emerges."

Nahashu thought for a moment, then said.

"Eh, water emerges?"

Broly's eyes brightened.

"Wait, get in the carriage; I'm interested in the matter of digging a spring eye."

Broly spoke like this, and without waiting for the man's refusal, single-handedly lifted the man who had sprained his foot onto the carriage.

"Giddyup~"

The carriage was driven away; although a strange passenger had suddenly been added, it still continued toward the fourth child's home.

On the other side, a group of Kaxisi Oasis God Sect believers chased for half a day yet saw no one, and realized they might have been deceived.

This group returned cursing and grumbling, originally intending to settle accounts with the little ghost who gave messed-up directions, but upon returning, discovered that carriage had disappeared.

"Damn it, go wait at Batu Nan's home; I don't believe that guy won't return home!"

A group of people cursing and grumbling went to stand guard duty.
