Section 2 Push me over

For Sita Village, it has been a bit uneasy recently.

First, someone saw suspicious people in the white forest to the west, and then met a group of lawless adventurers making trouble in the public mines.

At first they thought that this group of adventurers was just coming to get some cheap things. After all, although the original stones in the mine had been dug, they could occasionally dig up high-quality blue flint.

Ordinary blue flint can only be sold at a very low price in the market, but high-quality blue flint is the favorite jewelry of apprentices of the Frost Wizard Craft, and may be sold at some price.

This group of adventurers who came out of nowhere must have heard of the news of the Blue Flint in the mine and came to make trouble, hoping to get some benefits from the people in the village.

It’s a pity that there is no such thing as remote villages like Sita?

If this poorly small blue flint mine could really have high-quality blue flint, then the place would not be so desolate, and trade, economy and so on would have been done long ago.

The people in the village are relatively simple, but they are not easy to bully.

Although there is no adventurer in the security troop, they are not afraid of clashing with adventurers.

After all, if things really get bigger, those adventurers will also have some concerns.

This is not a neutral land or wilderness, this is the territory of the Rodma wizard!

They are good leaders who pay taxes on time. According to the rules of the Wizard Alliance, if these adventurers make trouble here, they will be like slapping the wizard Rodma in the face.

Mr. Rodma has never been known for his good temper.

Therefore, these villagers are still relatively tough when dealing with these foreign adventurers.

When they came here again to cause trouble and broke the sheds in the mine, the guard team immediately gathered.

These young guys quit.

They want the adventurers to give an explanation.

The two sides were going back and forth, and somehow the conflict suddenly intensified, and both sides started to fight.

How could these ordinary humans be opponents of those adventurers?

Several of the guards were injured immediately, and in the midst of the melee, an old man who was vigilant in the mine was suddenly injured by accident and died on the spot!

At this moment, the adventurers were also stunned and retreated in cover.

But the losses in the small village of Sita are even heavier.

All members of the security team were given lottery tickets, and several mine staff were injured. This was impossible. The other party was well-equipped adventurers, and they had a great advantage in terms of weapons alone.

The guards in the village are actually replaced by some local young people. If they really fight, they will definitely not be the opponent of the other party.

But after suffering such a loss, everyone was uncomfortable. A few of them were angry and shouted that they would go to find the local consul to preside over justice.

It’s a pity that they were stopped by the village chief.

"You guys can bear it. I don't know what crazy that gang of beasts are going crazy. I insist on saying that there is gold under the mine, so let's go."

"Let them go for a few days. Everyone stays at home peacefully these days, and don't mention going to the consul."

"To be honest, I have quietly seen those adventurers who have taken action. One of them is originally the consul of the Lanshui Town. What else can we ordinary civilians do when encountering adventurers?"

"As long as they don't go too far, we can only endure it."

The old village chief said this so that everyone in the village was speechless.

In the next few days, all the people who were supposed to work in the mine retreated, and no one dared to have conflicts with those desperate people.

Including Xiaoya's father, he suffered a little bit of minor injuries in the previous conflict, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

"Why do you think these adventurers are in trouble for us?"

The honest man named Patton asked Ronan in confusion.

Ronan chuckled softly: "Since he is an adventurer, he must be profitable to do so."

"The old village chief said that those adventurers were mixed with the consuls of the Lanshui Town, and this must be what the consuls of the Lanshui Town meant."

Patton frowned: "If it were the consul who wanted us to do something, wouldn't it be enough to just say it?"

"Why do you want these adventurers to make trouble? Old man Jose is really pitiful. You didn't see the scene at that time. Those bastards just bumped into it. That's an old man who is almost seventy years old!"

Patton has always been upset about the death of the old man.

It’s a pity that he has no ability, so he learned some medical skills when he was an apprentice in the clinic in Lanshui Town. Later, the clinic went bankrupt and he returned to Sita Village.

To be honest, in the eyes of those who meet for the first time, almost no one would believe that Xiaoya is Patton's daughter.

One is smart and lively, the other is honest and has no appearance of a father and daughter.

"Maybe it's this, he doesn't want too many people to know about it."

"He may have something in the mine that he cares about, but it cannot be known, so he used this method of concealing people."

Ronan said calmly: "Of course, these are just my speculations, not necessarily facts."

"My little brother is just smart. He is worthy of being a person who has seen the world."

Patton smiled honestly.

...

In the next few days, the village will be calm.

Luo Nan still never goes out all day long. He sleeps for more than fourteen hours a day. When he wakes up, he is mostly troubled by the severe cold pain that erupts from time to time.

It's just that he didn't show it.

Those who have not experienced it personally may not be able to imagine the pain that Ronan endured over the past three years.

If it weren't for the hope in his heart, he would probably have been unable to hold on.

But until now, he felt a little unable to hold on.

Sometimes, he would be awakened by the terrifying cold in the middle of the night.

At the most painful and desperate times, he often recalled the figure who was heading towards the sky gate.

He would silently think of those most difficult years.

Last time, when I was in trouble, you were by my side.

Now, I'm dying, where are you?

"Didn't you agree to come back soon?"

Ronan smiled bitterly in his heart.

Noya, it's been three years.

If he hadn't believed that there was hope in this world, how could he have been able to hold on until now?

But this hope seems to be getting more and more slim.

In the past few days, Luo Nan could clearly feel that the collapse of the magic pool in his body was accelerating.

The effect of medicinal porridge can no longer withstand the severe cold.

I'm afraid that by then, it will be your own death.

Ronan had already thought about it. It was a pity that Xiaoya and Patton, the father-daughter, could not repay him.

Three days later, the calm village stirred again.

"That group of adventurers are coming to cause trouble again!"

"This time they went too far. They actually asked us for Grandpa Jose's body!"

Xiaoya, who had tears in her eyes, ran over to report again.

Ronan, whose face was extremely pale, finally raised his head.

He looked at Xiaoya's crying little face and said softly: "Push me over."

Xiaoya didn't hear clearly: "Ah?"

"I said, where are those adventurers? Push me over."

At Ronan's strong request, Xiaoya pushed him out of the yard with skepticism.

The sun outside the yard was dazzling.

For Ronan, it feels like a different life.

This is the first time he has stepped out of this courtyard in three years.
