The Keluka Grassland is one of the three grasslands in the Jincastle Empire and is also the area with the most developed animal husbandry.

The entire area covers an area of ​​nearly 100 million square kilometers, and the area is only divided into rainy season and snow season.

It's summer now, and the weather should be bright and sunny, but it often rains here, either drizzling or pouring, and the air is humid and muggy.

Volta City was built in the prairie and served as an economic and financial center for the nearby herdsmen. People often came and went, including livestock sold as commodities by the herdsmen.

This results in animals urinating and urinating everywhere on the city's roads, lack of hygiene management, and flies flying around.

In addition, the air is already stuffy, and this smell...

Needless to say, I think everyone understands.

When I first came here, I always held my nose while walking on the street. After a while, I got used to it.

A few of our team came back from the Adventurer's Guild. After receiving their rewards, we planned to go out to a restaurant to celebrate.

As I walked on the road, I smelled the familiar smell of manure and glanced at the streets full of cattle and sheep being led.

There were many children with sacks and shovels collecting animal excrement on the ground.

Most of them were dressed in tatters, their hair was shaggy, and some looked skinny, staggering around carrying sacks filled with cow dung.

I understand that they are all children from poor families. They collect animal excrement because they can be exchanged for money in special places.

Cow dung and sheep dung can be used as fuel after drying. They are excellent supplies for heating in winter. Secondly, they can also be used to fertilize crops.

Because they are grassland herdsmen, the latter is of little use, and most of the excrement is stored and used as fuel.

Several children followed behind the cows and sheep, holding open the bags, waiting for the cows and sheep to poop out. In the end, they were driven away by the cows and sheep's owners and left in despair.

"Ouch, my belly, oooooooo..."

"Damn it, who asked you to follow the horse's ass, get out of here!"

In the distance, a cry caught my attention.

I saw a child with a gray face and patched clothes lying on the ground, holding his stomach and rolling around.

In front of him stood a frightened horse that jumped on the spot.

The sandy-colored horse, which was restless, was stroked and comforted by its owner, and gradually regained its composure.

The owner of the horse yelled at the child rolling on the ground, completely ignoring the child's injury, and then quickly ran away with the horse.

"Are you OK?"

Yani discovered the child at this time, trotted forward, squatted down and observed.

I walked over, bent over and grabbed my knees, looking at them.

"Did you get kicked in the stomach by the horse?" I asked.

"Uh-huh, oh-oh, oh-oh, sister, it hurts so much!"

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I will cure you."

"Woo, but..."

Yanni comforted her, stretching out her palms to use healing magic.

Green holy light emanated from her palm, quickly calming the painful-looking child and stopping his moans.

After doing this, she looked at each other with a smile.

At this time, the child suddenly cried, which made me confused.

Yani's dark eyes were full of surprise, her hair swaying gently in the wind, "Why, it's not cured. Is it still hurting somewhere?"

"Woo... No, sister, I don't have money to pay for your medical expenses. I have to wait until I sell the cow dung before I can give it to you, and I'm afraid it won't be enough."

The child was crying with tears streaming down his face. His dark skin and calloused hands made people feel distressed just by looking at them.

It seems that there are specialized medical practices nearby, but in fact they are just swindlers. They will say that you are sick for no reason, and then give you a treatment, and finally pocket a lot of medical expenses.

Generally, people with hot tempers often use fists to drive them away when encountering this kind of situation, but the situation is different for unlucky people. The weaker ones may even be punched and kicked by the opponent in turn.

"Pfft... Who said sister wants to charge you money? Sister doesn't want money."

"Hey, I don't want money, so what do you want?"

"I do not want anything!"

Yanni shook her head.

I noticed that there was a glimmer of light in the child's dark brown eyes, and he stared at Yanni with his eyes wide open.

"Come over and help, Randy?"

She turned to look at me, then grabbed a handful of scattered cow dung and put it into the bag the child had dropped.

I was a little repelled by cow dung, so I could only stand by and laugh awkwardly.

"let me help you."

Xikali came over at this time and began to collect the scattered cow dung and put it back into the bag.

I couldn't help but ask: "Xikali, Yani, aren't you afraid of getting dirty?"

Xikali and Yani looked at each other and chuckled.

Xikali said: "What's so dirty about this? Our parents both run horse farms, so it's common to help clean up animal feces."

"Yes, I still remember the first time we met, it was at my family's horse farm. At that time, Xikali bought a pony from my family." Yani recalled with eyes wide open.

"Hahaha, you seemed to be cleaning up horse manure at the horse farm at that time. I remember you had a lot of it on your hands. You looked so stupid."

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to accuse me!"

"Ah, troublemaker!"

The two people in front of them began to play, smearing each other's faces with dark cow dung.

I looked at these two "crazy women" and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Thank you two sisters!"

With the bag bulging on the child's back, he bent down to thank the two Xikali who helped collect the cow dung.

Just like that, he staggered away under my gaze, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his thin figure, making him look a little thinner.

Hey, I wonder how Grandpa Rodney is doing?

I sent the money back, he should have received it, right?

The child just now reminds me of the working people at the bottom. Grandpa is such a person.

If I hadn't entered the magician school, I probably wouldn't be as good as that kid, right?

In this world, everyone is working hard for their own lives and living hard, especially those at the bottom.

Suffering is like an abyss to them, meaningless.

They are oppressed by suffering, choose habits after experiencing it, and ultimately end their mediocre lives without any achievements.

They deserve respect and compassion.

Just when I was in a daze, a hand was placed on my face.

After taking a closer look, I realized that it was Hikari and Yani who had shifted the target of their play to me.

They wiped the cow dung on their hands on my face, and I could only run away in a hurry, which made Tuoji and the others in the distance laugh.

After the fight, we found the tavern, washed our hands, and started today's dinner.

I have to say that the life of an adventurer is really interesting. Everyone helps each other and forms a friendly group.

There are no social intrigues or competition for interests, and everyone works together, which makes me feel happy and very warm.

"cheers!"

I stood up and clinked glasses with everyone.

Today we had a rare drink of fruit wine. Like the adventurers on the wine table around us, we began to celebrate the results of the day.

Everyone started chatting, which gradually became overshadowed by the lively chatter around them.

"Mia Dian...Miss, why do you wear a veil when eating?"

"Oh, well, because I have a marriage contract, according to family rules, I cannot show my face to men other than my fiancé."

"That's it."

Tuoji curiously asked questions, and Mia finally answered the reason why she wore a veil, which made me understand something.

I asked, "This is too troublesome. If someone accidentally sees me taking off my veil, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?"

Mia shook her head, "Actually, it's just a formality. It doesn't matter whether I wear it or not. It's just that I'm strictly controlled. I wear it as much as possible to avoid others gossiping about me after seeing it."

"That's it." The others said in unison with me.

Mia seemed a little embarrassed to be watched by so many people. She coughed and said, "Remember to call me Miss Mia from now on. Don't reveal my identity easily."

"clear."

Everyone spoke in unison again.

During the meal, Xikali sat next to me, chatting and laughing with me. From time to time, she rubbed her plump breasts against my arms, or put her face close to her and whispered in my ear.

I suddenly realized that Hikari and I were too close, which made Toki and the others feel somewhat unhappy and even jealous.

Especially Yani, when we were eating, she stared directly at me and Xikali, as if we had separated from the group and were alone.

Amya is very well-behaved and only knows how to eat meat, but occasionally she will look at me and Xikali and prick up her ears.

Xikali fed me food, and I accepted it gladly. I glanced at the others from the corner of my eye and found that their faces were not very happy.

Hey, I have experienced the feeling of being single and being shown affection. In my previous life, when I went out to eat with my classmates, I was treated as a light bulb, eating alone and unhappy next to the two of them.

In front of me, they are very affectionate, kiss and fight, they are so unloving, they really don't care about the feelings of singles, and they envy others.

But, I am no longer single. If you have a girlfriend, you should enjoy it. I don’t care about your feelings.

Hahaha, after dinner is over, I want to have an in-depth exchange with Xikali.
