Poverty Alleviation Princess

Since Mica and Mantian had to go back with the harvested treasure first, the others chose to walk back.

This was also proposed by A Yuan.

I will be busy after I go back, so of course I have to walk more and see more now.

However, maybe because they looked so ordinary, a group of men in broken armor jumped out after a short walk.

"Hand over all the money."

The few leaders held broken weapons and asked them to pay money, but their eyes kept moving between A Yuan and Shan Shan, and the triangular eyes that hanged themselves were shining with greed.

"Twenty... no, around thirty?"

Coral is keenly aware that there are still people hiding in the surrounding woods who have not come out.

She and her younger brother immediately blocked A Yuan's surroundings vigilantly.

Miscalculated.

Although she knows that Mr. Uchiha is very powerful, in the eyes of outsiders, this combination of only one adult male, two women and one child is undoubtedly tantamount to telling others, 'We are fat sheep, come and attack'.

"Looks like a defeated or fleeing pawn?"

A Yuan whispered to the coral guarding her.

"Yes...it should be like this."

Although the leaders were wearing armor, they were all tattered—I don’t know how many hands it took to put it on him.Plus the weapon that already has a gap.

But even so, it is not easy for ordinary people to get together in such a body.It can only be a former soldier who became a deserter and then became a bandit.

It is not uncommon for soldiers like this to run away with weapons and equipment and become bandits.In other words, in this already difficult world, it is precisely because of them that the life of ordinary people is extraordinarily difficult.

It's hard to find a place where there are no wars or monsters to settle down, but you may lose everything because of the bandits who wander around and rob houses for a living.

Coral's expression was ugly, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists.

"don’t worry."

Noticing Coral's nervousness, A Yuan quietly patted her clenched fist.

"Blade alone can solve it."

"If you don't hand over the money, don't blame the uncle for being rude!"

Seeing that several people were just whispering and did not respond to his own meaning, and the younger brothers behind him started to boo agitatedly, the leading man couldn't help but took a step forward angrily.The several successful robberies and killings that came in made him courageous.

He began to feel that these adults who usually eat well and drink hot food are nothing—is it useful to eat well and dress well?Wouldn't he be hacked to death by the knife in his hand?

These people were originally low-level soldiers temporarily recruited. If the main force in front was not smashed into coke by the sudden thunderbolts, which caused the two sides of the development to lose the power of the first battle, they would also be sent to the battlefield.It's just that the weapons were all in hand, and the daimyo didn't have enough elite soldiers to guard them, so they simply escaped during a certain mission.

No goal, grab where you go.By looting passers-by and villages, their lives are infinitely better than before.After tasting the sweetness, it is natural that he can no longer tolerate the contempt of others.

He was annoyed for a while, and swiped the tachi with the gap in his hand, and greeted Uchiha Madara's face that he didn't like.

Isn't it just because of his good looks, if he can also be born in a good family, eat well and dress warmly since childhood, he will not be worse than him!

Thinking of this, the nameless anger in his heart grew stronger.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, the knife that originally only wanted to disfigure the other party increased his strength and greeted the other party's pretty face.Now he not only wants to destroy this face, but also force his ugly appearance, let the two women see his ugly appearance, see him begging for mercy and sending them out just to save himself alive.

The unbelievably desperate appearance of a beautiful woman excited him the most.

Thinking that these two women were about to fall into his hands, he felt that the blood in his body was boiling and began to rush towards a certain direction...

Ok?

He was clearly walking forward, but why did he see the younger brothers behind him?

The minion leader hasn't realized what's going on yet.And the terrified eyes of his group of followers and the red falling from nowhere were the last scenery he saw in this world.

Uchiha Madara withdrew his hand, still holding the tachi that was broken in the man's hand just now.The scarlet liquid snaked down the blade, and finally fell into the soil under the action of gravity.

His other hand was still firmly in front of A Yuan's eyes, preventing her from seeing the bloody scene.

Not because she was afraid that she would be scared when she saw her murderous side, but because she thought that the death of such a filthy person should not stain her eyes.

"It'll be fine right now."

"Don't kill them all, take them back to do coolies!"

A Yuan only had time to say such a sentence, and this one-to-many battle came to an end.After a few more breaths, there was no one present who could stand up.

Before the coral could react to what had happened, the fight was all over.

In her opinion, it was Uchiha Madara who rushed out and beat all these people, and then they all lay on the ground.Then they didn't know what he did, these people supported each other and stood up, leaving the dead companions and walking forward with dull eyes.

——It was like being possessed by an evil spirit.

"He, they..." Amber stammered and pointed at the robbers who were walking forward like corpses.

"They themselves will go back to the city to do coolies."

Ah Yuan explained.

"I will work hard to atone for my sins until I die."

It is easy to kill them, but compared to simply dying, it is more cost-effective to let them contribute the last trace of vitality to urban construction and land reclamation, and it can be called atonement.

After such a thing happened, the emotions of the few people were naturally not high.The original plan to go back to the city easily while walking and playing was also shelved.Yuan climbed onto Uchiha Madara's back again, letting him carry her on his back to speed up the pace of going back.Although it is possible to go back with the Susanoo, but it is not to the extent of leaving the coral and Kohaku to go back first.

It's just that the nature of walking around and looking around suddenly disappeared.

It wasn't very far away, but at noon, the shadow of the City Lord's Mansion could already be vaguely seen.

Like last night, Amber gathered firewood for the fire, while Coral hunted for their lunch—a few rabbits.

Putting a little spice and salt after the fat rabbit is processed is a delicious meal in this era, and the aroma of the meat spreads far from the fire.

In addition to arousing the appetite of the few people around the fire, it also attracted other hungry people.

"You guys! Hand over the meat!"

The weak voice spoke words that could not detect any malicious intent at all.

The people by the fire turned their heads and saw a few ragged, skinny men holding pens and pointing at them tremblingly at the tattered weapons of the deserters just now.

Noticing that they were looking over, the leading man swallowed hard and tried to move his eyes away from the roasted rabbit meat by the fire: "Only, as long as you hand over the meat, I, we will let you go!"

Maybe it was too longing, before Ah Yuan could respond, the young man beside him eagerly said, "Leave three...no, two are fine!"

The leading man was a little angry at first when he heard the words of the people next to him—annoyed that he destroyed the original plan without discussing it with himself, but smelling the tempting smell of meat and thinking about the hungry people behind him, he also I can't hold on anymore.

Although it was only a few of them who came out, there were actually a dozen women and children in their fleeing team.They were all just poor people living an honest life. If they were not really unable to survive, they would not even leave their homeland and run out to survive.

Not to mention threatening others with weapons.

Even up to this time, he hadn't said the word 'kill'.

Coral bit her lips: "Your Highness."

She could see that these people were already weak to a certain extent. If they didn't eat anything, they might die of hunger and weakness in a few days.

She wanted to ask her to give them these rabbits so that she could go hunting again... and even hunt more prey back as compensation.But in front of the city lord, she couldn't speak.

Let the city lord give food to the civilians, and then watch them eat and starve?

She is not so stupid yet.

The only one who is qualified to make a decision now is the young city owner here.

Ah Yuan sighed, looked at the trembling man holding a weapon and said, "...Is there someone behind you?"

!! ?

"Let them come out together, I won't do anything to you."

As she spoke, she looked at the coral next to her:

"Coral, do you know mushrooms?"

"Eh?"

"If you know edible mushrooms, you can pick some mushrooms when you come back from hunting rabbits."

While talking, A Yuan raised her hand, and took out a small bag of rice from her sleeve.

—Where did it come from?

Coral watched in shock as the young city lord took out a small bag of rice from both sleeves.

"Before I saw some rice leaking out, I collected some and put it away." Originally, I thought that if I wanted to eat rice or porridge along the way, I could change the taste.

I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

"Bring some meat and mushrooms back, just to make rice porridge—so everyone can eat some." A Yuan finished speaking, then turned to look at the man who was still holding a weapon. "Should you have cooking utensils?"

"Yes, it is."

The man nodded blankly.He didn't really understand how things suddenly became like this.He just vaguely understood that the adults in front of him decided to give them food.

...they could live again.

Perhaps the tense emotions finally found a place to vent, and some even dropped their weapons and cried on the spot.

There are too many things to cry about in this world.

Crying for the loved ones they lost, crying for the tribulations that happened to them, or crying about the hardships and injustices of this world - obviously they never asked for any wealth, they just wanted to live a good life, why is it so difficult?

Maybe in the end, even he himself didn't know why he was crying anymore.It's just that the tears can't stop no matter what.

Seeing these 'robbers' crying with their heads in their hands, Coral felt very uncomfortable.

Don't even know what to say.

With this meal, these people can persevere-this should have been a good thing, but for some reason, she just couldn't be happy.

When she thought of how many poor people like this existed in this world, who had done nothing wrong but were struggling on the verge of life and death, she felt her heart sink.

Born in such an era, in a family of exorcising demons, Coral has long been used to seeing life and death—even she has already regarded all of this as part of her life.

People who are attacked by monsters will die, and the demon master who kills monsters may also die in the hands of monsters one day.If you are still alive, go kill monsters, and if your relatives and friends are killed by monsters, go kill monsters for revenge.

She has such awareness.But these people in front of them are different.Unlike people killed by war or monsters, these people who almost stepped into death are still struggling to live, but it is precisely because they are still alive that it is even more shocking.

She clenched her fist blankly, but she didn't know the meaning of what she did.

"……Will be fine."

At some point, the girl standing next to her held her hand.

"What we have done is to never see this kind of situation again."

The girl stood there straight and said affirmatively:

"So, it will definitely get better."
