I'll help the Demon King settle the world

"Girl, is this the gold coin you left?"

Yuan Zhen looked back and saw an old man with gray hair, a haggard face, and his clothes were rotten to the point of stinking, holding the gold coins she had just been robbed tremblingly in his hands and placing them in front of her.

With a haggard face and long-term malnutrition, the old man looked like a candle in the wind.

But even so, the old man didn't have any greed for this ill-gotten wealth.

Looking at his kind gesture, Yuan Zhen couldn't bear it, shook his head and refused, saying:

"You can keep this gold coin. After all, you need it more than me."

Staring at the kindness of the woman in front of him, the old man gratefully put the gold coin into his arms and asked her:

"Girl, where are you going?"

"Oh, old man, I was about to go to the Principality of Bisaya to look for my lost brother. May I ask why you are running away in such a panic?"

"Oh, girl, I can't go now!"

"Um?"

"You don't know, the demons have invaded all countries in large numbers, and now we in Bisaya are in great trouble..." As he said this, the old man cried excitedly. "The imperial city has been invaded by the demons... We poor people can only escape..."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhen looked a little ugly. Seeing this, the old man thought that she was afraid that her brother had been killed in the principality, so he comforted her and said:

"You said your brother is in Bisaya. It's difficult. People in the whole country are dying and running away. Now there are basically no people left. I guess if you want to find your lost brother, you can only follow us. Go and inquire about the refugees who escaped."

After hearing what the old man said, Yuan Zhen immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to the Principality of Bisaya.

After all, two brothers, Luo Xi and Luo Ling, had disappeared before she left for the expedition.

Now that the whole of Bisaya has fallen, searching for their whereabouts is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After Yuan Zhen thanked the old man, she strode towards the other goal in her mind - the gathering place, following the direction of the refugees' escape.

Because that is her home, the place where she should return to her roots.

But the strange thing is that the refugees from Bisaya also walked in the same direction as him.

Yuan Zhen was curious, so he walked by and asked the fellow Bisaya refugees why they fled in this direction.

They all said in unison that they were preparing to flee to the "gathering place."

Yuan Zhen secretly thought to himself that the gathering place was a barren land so barren and barren that even the demons looked down upon it.

If you want to avoid the disaster of war, the gathering place is indeed a good place.

So, Yuan Zhen followed the fleeing Bisaya refugees to the gathering place.

The fleeing group climbed several high mountains and struggled to bypass several rivers. They finally escaped the disaster of war, but found that due to the long distance, more than half of the refugees starved to death.

Yuan Zhen and these refugees picked wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and when they were sleepy, they lay on the ground with them.

Because of this, she also integrated into this group of refugees.

"Are you a refugee too?" A gray-faced little beggar asked with disbelief as he looked at Yuan Zhen's clothes of luxurious fabrics.

"Yes? Is there any difference?" Yuan Zhen replied with questions in his head.

"It doesn't feel like it?"

"Ah? Why doesn't it look like this? There are wars happening now, and I'm just trying to avoid disasters."

"Really? Why does it feel like you are not here to escape, but to escape from something important..."

Before the little beggar finished speaking, he suddenly heard a voice from the front of the refugee team, "Look, everyone, the gathering place is here!"

Suddenly, the entire refugee team became excited, speeding up their pace and rushing forward.

And the little beggar disappeared along with the crowd.

Yuan Zhen was also squeezed into the crowd of people - moving forward.

After going through untold hardships, the entire refugee team arrived at the gathering place.

Yuan Zhen looked at the familiar one and his eyes widened in shock.

At this time, the gathering place has already changed its appearance. The originally barren gathering place has now become a fertile place surrounded by greenery and abundant rain.

Seeing this earth-shattering change, Yuan Zhen was surprised and had no time to ask the people living in the gathering place why such earth-shattering changes had occurred in just a few years.

She was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, and she had no energy to think about these useless things that would not fill her stomach.

The refugees who poured into the settlements all went to the streets to beg for food.

At this time, the local people in the gathering area changed from their old attitude of not saving anyone in the face of death and everyone protecting themselves, to becoming generous and giving alms.

Is it because they have become rich that they are particularly generous to these refugees who have fled here?

Yuan Zhen also went to beg for food because of the good situation, but no one sympathized with her and gave her alms.

She was confused. She was also a very hungry poor person who fled with those refugees. Why didn't anyone give her some charity?

She sat among a bunch of refugees, imitating the behavior of the refugees around her, begging from the passing locals. The refugees around her all received different alms, but no one paid attention to her.

She was so angry that she could only chew the remaining bark at hand.

At this time, the little beggar who had interacted with her before couldn't stand it anymore and secretly approached her to tell her the reason.

"Look at what you're wearing, it doesn't look like you're fleeing. Although the clothes are full of dirt, the fabrics and embroidery on them are all top-grade from the royal family. Plus the dragon ring on your finger, it's worth everything." Liancheng, you said you were going to beg for food, who would believe it?!"

After hearing this, Yuan Zhen suddenly realized that it was her clothes and the ring on her finger that caused the trouble. She had no one to sympathize with and gave her charity, and she couldn't fill her stomach.

"Is the competition for food now so fierce? You even have to dress carefully. Oh! How miserable!" Yuan Zhen lamented that the world is unfair. She also wanted to change clothes, but now she can't even fill her stomach. How can she have any money left to change? clothing.

Driven by hunger, Yuan Zhen was helpless and could only use the next move.

She took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into a large field of corn planted in the suburbs.

With the bright moonlight, I sneaked into the endless fields of corn.

Yuan Zhen got into the cornfield, his eyes shining brightly.

Looking at the delicious corn, no moral restraint is as important as filling your stomach now.

So Yuan Zhen pounced on the cornfield like a wolf and a tiger, and gnawed at the unripe corn cobs like a tiger pounces on its prey.

Yuan Zhen was defenseless and devoted himself to filling his stomach. He was completely unaware that he made so much noise that the farmers guarding the corn field discovered someone eating in the corn field.

So the guards divided the work and cooperated. One person notified the village chief; the other secretly watched the thief.

Just when Yuan Zhen fell into the state of selflessness and kept breaking the corn cobs, he suddenly heard a stern scolding sound.

"You're such a thief, how dare you steal the corn we worked so hard to sow!"

Yuan Zhen, who had a corn cob in his mouth and had no time to cover up his crime, turned his head away in confusion.

She saw dozens of strong villagers with their heads wrapped in village emblem cloth scarves, all with fierce looks, surrounding her.
