It is said that no one who entered the border village, regardless of whether he was willing to make progress in the future, could go out again.

When Ding Xuexin came to the border village, she realized that the exaggerated saying "Nothing" used in normal times can be really reality.

The border village is a remote place with nothing.

There are no green mountains, no grasslands, only sparse small patches of green spaces; there are no green waters, only white lakes and large pools; there are no arable land, many places are white salt land that cannot be planted and even weeds cannot grow; and there are no roads, only traces formed by the marks left by people stepping on.

Originally, Ding Wen and Ding Xuexin planned to lean on their feet and walk to inquire about the situation of the deserted village. However, when they looked down from a high place, there was someone outside a cave far away. Apart from that, they could not see any more people.

"Isn't this a village? Why are you living so sparse and scattered?" Ding Xuexin was very surprised. Ding Wen observed a place and saw no water. He speculated: "It may be related to the water source, or maybe it is related to the food source. Fly there and land, and then approach to take a look."

After saying that, Ding Wen took the lead and flew over and landed in a place that outside the entrance of the cave. Ding Xuexin followed him, and the two stepped on the hard ground with only stones and sand and went straight to the entrance of the cave.

When I got closer, I saw two children at the entrance of the hole, with their lips dry and chapped, as if they were looking for something on the wall.

Ding Xuexin looked at him curiously, and suddenly saw a child pulling an insect from a gap in the wall. He didn't see what it was. He saw the child feeding it directly into his mouth, chewing it, and eating it!

Ding Xuexin opened her mouth and said, "You can't eat..."

Before he could finish speaking, the child had already swallowed the bug.

The sound alarmed the woman at the entrance of the cave, and the two children looking for something on the walls of the cave. They were all ragged and black and yellow in skin. The two boys looked about four or five years apart, with dry lips, and clearly lacking water.

The woman outside the cave entrance is in better condition, and the lack of water is not that serious.

Ding Xuexin reminded the woman, "That child was eating insects just now!"

"What are you doing?" The woman seemed to have not heard it, or maybe she didn't care at all, but just looked at Ding Wen and Ding Xuexin curiously. She saw that their clothes were obviously not from the newly moved, and they looked handsome and not like people from the land.

"From the Immortal Destruction Society, I heard that the Black Cloud Immortal Sect has a great success. It seems that you are not doing well." Ding Wen still said this because this is indeed the case.

But he felt that there should be people living in the deserted villages who would go to the Immortal Destruction Society? But whether they would be accepted is another question.

"Whoever tells you this is better, go back and beat him up. This is a broken place. If you didn't go to the place of the Immortal Destruction Society, you would have been beaten to death. Who would have lived here!" The woman looked resentful.

"Is it a misunderstanding? People under the Immortal Association may exclude outsiders, but they may not be beaten to death." Ding Wen pretended to be surprised.

Sure enough, the woman said mockingly: "Are you here? I was born and raised by the Immortal Society. When I was fourteen years old, I didn't want to marry an ugly monster in the village. When I heard others say it's good, I ran out, and ended up staying in this broken place until now!"

This is not a question Ding Wen asked, but Ding Wen listened to the woman complaining in a hurry.

"If the village where I was born did not like girls and was xenophobic, and I was reluctant to leave my child, I would have gone back long ago! Marrying an ugly monster is better than being in such a place where birds don't poop!"

The woman said indignantly, turned her head and saw a child coming over to play with the stone tools she had ground. She slapped her and hit the child to fall to the ground, cried and got up and ran back into the cave.

Seeing that the woman was just cursing the child, Ding Wen asked again: "What's wrong with beating someone to death?"

"What's so strange about beating people to death! There are so many land in the villages in the Immortal Society, and the villagers are still fighting for a little bit of land. When the foreigners come, they can only be helpers! This is also robbing the villagers of the village, one carrot and one pit. Who would be willing to let the foreigners rob the opportunity to do their jobs? If you find an opportunity, you will beat them to death. Or you will be disabled or beat them to death."

The woman said something disapprovingly, and looked at them and said, "You seem to have practiced skills? Why are you not good at practicing? Why do you come to the Heiyun Immortal Sect to find a way out? There are cultivators in the villages in the Immortal Society, which are better than here. I won't talk about the deserted villages and this is a broken place. I can kill people if I can kill a pool of water. Even if I go to other villages, I'm not a cattle or horse. Only by treating myself as a cattle, horse and animal can I stay there. I don't have a good life. I live a life of animals, and all the good things are given to the fairy mountain!"

Ding Wen thought about this being the truth, although this woman had a completely personal standpoint and did not make judgments based on the system and the overall situation.

However, because it is full of pure personal positions, we can see the essential parts of the system that are not conducive to the individual.

This is always the case in reality. The controllers involved in formulating the system are clear, but they must choose to sacrifice individuals for the sake of the overall situation.

Those who are in the middle who have eaten and drunk enough often sway between personal positions and overall perspectives, and in the end they often blur the boundaries between individuals and collectives, and stand between the ethereal clouds and fog and fly passionately.

But this kind of voice, like the purely personal stance of the woman in front of you, will be disdainful or even ridiculed; the makers of Xianshan cannot hear it at all, even if they hear it, or just smile, not saying that they are good fans, but only saying how well the system is formulated.

The in the middle is always only inspiring voices. People with pure personal positions are always more accustomed to making more favorable choices with actions.

To sum up, they know that they can't control decisions, but they can decide not to cooperate.

When the woman complained, Ding Xuexin took a water bag and gave it to her two children to drink.

As a result, the woman saw it and shouted, "Pretend! What's the use of drinking so much water!"

The child poured the water from the water bag into the hollowed-out tank, and just poured it over and said, "Mom, the water is so clear!"

"Come on." After the woman said that, the older boy went to get a bowl made of stone and put half a bowl of water to bring it over.

The two children, one older and one younger, were all watching their mother drinking water with jealousy.

Ding Xuexin was so angry that she scolded her, saying, "Are you their biological mother? Why are you still robbing the child's water to drink?"
