Chapter 2671 Daily Life in the Middle Ages

One sunny morning, Xiao Huan was sitting by the window of Wanshi House, feeling very bored.

She simply knocked on the mirror on the window sill, her eyes wandering, looking out from time to time, as if expecting something interesting to happen.

Zhao Han was flipping through a thick ancient book on the side, trying to find some new knowledge, but her mind was obviously not on the book.

"Dad, life is a bit boring, I want to do something interesting." Xiao Huan directly summoned Wen Rensheng who was wandering around the starry sky with his eyes closed.

"Oh, where are you going?" Wen Rensheng asked Coal.

"Xiao Huan, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Han couldn't help but ask, raising his head with a trace of concern in his eyes.

"I think the recent adventures are too high-tech and not interesting." Xiao Huan pouted, looking a little dissatisfied. "I want to go to a place with low magic and experience a simple life."

Zhao Han smiled slightly and agreed in his heart: "Me too, I haven't been to that kind of place for a long time."

"Okay, then you go!" Wen Rensheng then clicked twice, between their eyebrows, to directly pull their consciousness out, and then plunged into the void world he had just traveled through.

Thus, the two embarked on a new adventure.

They were instantly transported to a medieval world of low magic.

The sky here is blue, the sun shines on the ground through the leaves, the air is filled with the fragrance of green grass, and occasionally a few birds chirp, making it particularly peaceful.

There is a lot of green space around, and there is a river in the distance.

Generally speaking, it is a fertile land, but unfortunately some ruins let people know that it has been destroyed.

"Wow, that's great!" Xiao Huan spun around excitedly, with a bright smile on his face. "This looks like a lot of fun!"

Zhao Han smiled slightly and felt relaxed in his heart.

They walked around the world, admiring the beautiful scenery around them and feeling the long-lost tranquility.

However, just as they were immersed in this tranquility.

Suddenly two burly thieves sprang out from the bushes on the side.

They were wearing worn-out leather armor, with sinister smiles on their faces, and they were holding sharp blades in their hands, obviously preparing to rob.

"Hey, little girls, hand over your belongings, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!" One of the thieves grinned, showing yellow teeth.

A trace of panic flashed across Xiao Huan's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

She turned to Zhao Han and said, "What should we do? These guys are so scary."

Zhao Han frowned slightly and quickly thought about how to deal with it.

She knew not to show fear when facing these thieves.

She still knows how dirty these places are.

So, she puffed up her chest and said firmly: "We are not afraid of you! You'd better get out of here!"

The thieves were obviously not frightened, but laughed loudly: "Little girl, you are so naive! We are not afraid of you!"

At this moment, Xiao Huan suddenly had an idea and decided to change into a different character for fun.

She stretched out her hand and said softly: "Okay, let's play a game! If you can beat us, we will give you all our belongings!"

The thieves were stunned for a moment, then showed a cunning smile: "Okay, let's see what you are capable of!"

Xiao Huan and Zhao Han looked at each other and reached a tacit consensus in their hearts.

They decided to transform into two male characters, named John and Kafer.

Xiao Huan quickly used magic to change his appearance and turned into a tall and mighty young man, while Zhao Han transformed into a strong warrior.

"Are you ready, Kafer?" John (Xiao Huan) smiled slightly, with a mischievous light in his eyes.

"Of course, John!" Kafer (Zhao Han) also showed a confident smile.

In this way, in this medieval background, daily life can be better.

At the same time, after changing into new roles, the two of them also felt that they had a new life.

The two quickly adjusted themselves and prepared for the upcoming battle. When the thieves saw this, they hesitated a little, seeming to be shocked by their changes.

"Ah, they are gods!"

"No, they are demons!"

The two thieves shouted to each other.

"Do you really want to fight?" John asked provocatively, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

The two thieves were about to collapse, but for some reason, their eyes suddenly became confused and they cheered up again:

"Huh! We're not afraid of you! This is just a magic trick!"

One of the thieves roared and charged towards them waving the knife in his hand.

The battle began, and John and Kafer cooperated tacitly and quickly escaped.

Their movements are flexible and fast, as if they are dancing.

John easily blocked the thief's attack with a wooden stick he picked up, and then counterattacked, accurately hitting the opponent's shoulder.

"Haha, it's so easy!" John exclaimed excitedly, feeling full of accomplishment.

Kafer was dealing with another thief on the other side. Her movements were more flexible, sometimes dodging and sometimes counterattacking, making it impossible for the other party to get close.

Finally, with a well-aimed attack, Kafer knocked the opponent's weapon away, forcing him to retreat.

"How can you be so powerful!"

"You are indeed the messengers of the devil!"

The two thieves began to panic, obviously not expecting these two "boys" to be so powerful.

In fact, they were serfs from the knight's house nearby. They stole two pieces of tattered equipment from the knight's house because they could not bear the whipping and ran away.

They were thieves near a village, relying on their strength and leather armor to rob some food and grain.

They usually slept in the jungle and lived one day at a time.

They have not completely become evil thieves, otherwise, they would not just talk about looting property.

Of course, if they said it, they would be dead now.

But if they continue, sooner or later they will become real evil thieves.

People change like this.

Of course, if they were that kind of evil thieves, they would have no chance to play some daily games with two gods from other worlds (relative to them).

"Now, it's time to let you see our true strength!" John said loudly, with a challenging light in his eyes.

As the two became more and more powerful, the confidence of the thieves gradually collapsed.

They naturally didn't know that they should have collapsed a long time ago.

It was just that Xiao Huan gave them a little morale.

But now, they couldn't resist anymore and started to flee everywhere, trying to escape from this place that frightened them.

"Don't let them run away!" Kafeel shouted and chased after them.

John followed closely behind, and the two of them quickly caught up with the thieves like cheetahs.

Finally, the thieves were cornered at the edge of a village, with John and Kafeel everywhere.

Their momentum was so strong that the thieves completely lost the courage to resist.

"Now, you can choose to surrender or continue to struggle." John smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

The two thieves looked at each other and finally chose to surrender.

They knew that facing these two powerful opponents, continuing to resist would only lead to their own destruction.

"Very good, remember today's lesson!" Kafeel said coldly, secretly proud in his heart.

As the two thieves surrendered, the villagers walked out of their homes and witnessed all this.

Their faces were full of surprise and admiration, and they all cast admiring eyes on John and Kafeel.

"Thank you, brave young men!" an old man said gratefully, "You saved our village!"

"Yes, these two hateful guys made me afraid to go to the farmland outside during the day." A woman covered with red sores said there.

Thief A shouted: "Nonsense, it's obvious that as soon as you appear, the two of us have to hide!"

"That's right, you are always looking for us!" Thief B followed.

"Assholes, you two are dead, brave strangers, kill these two guys, I will give you delicious honey." The woman persuaded.

John and Kafer smiled at each other, feeling full of a sense of accomplishment.

The two thieves haven't done anything too evil, so they won't die.

Of course, if they continue, only death can atone for their sins.

They quickly handed the decision to the villagers.

The villagers decided to make the two thieves public serfs.

They had to work for three months before they could leave.

After all, they were not knights and had no force to enslave the two for a long time.

Either kill them or work for a period of time.

In the town square, John and Kafer became heroes.

The simple residents here held a celebration banquet for them.

Amidst the laughter, Xiao Huan and Zhao Han's hearts were filled with warmth and happiness.

The celebration banquet in the town was carried out in laughter.

The residents sat around a long table, which was filled with relatively rich food and wine.

There were black bread, honey, bacon, and fish.

"We don't have a lord nearby. We are the people of Ziyou on the land of Ziyou."

"Without the protection of the king and the knights, there is no tax. Of course, we have to face the plunder of wild beasts and robbers ourselves."

"For the time being, we are lucky and have not encountered too many robbers."

The old man in the village said.

So there are no formal patrols and militia captains in the village for the time being.

The farmers' vision is very short-sighted.

Only when they are really threatened will they make preparations.

When there are no thieves, no one is willing to give up their work at home and become a soldier to protect everyone.

And no one is willing to provide food for the soldiers...

This is short-sighted, but it is the truth.

Everyone fled to Ziyoudi to avoid being oppressed and arbitrarily driven and plundered by the lord.

Naturally, they don't want to be plundered again.

But the appearance of the two thieves has made them begin to understand.

They must have their own militia, even if it is only temporarily formed.

Otherwise, two small thieves can force dozens of people to be unable to move.

If there is a militia captain, he can subdue the two with a few militiamen.

Because the other party dare not kill people, those weapons are just to scare people, not as good as long wooden sticks.

John and Kafer (the incarnation of Xiaohuan and Zhao Han) are regarded as heroes and are warmly welcomed.

The atmosphere in the village is relaxed and happy, but under this joyful appearance, there is a hint of uneasiness.

"You are so great!" A young girl said excitedly, with admiration in her eyes.

"You are our village heroes!"

John smiled slightly, but felt uneasy in his heart.

Although they successfully repelled the two thieves.

But the safety of the village does not seem to be truly guaranteed.

She looked around and found that the residents' smiles were mixed with a hint of nervousness, as if they were expecting something.

"Kafer, we should investigate again to see if there are any other threats." John whispered to Zhao Han.

Zhao Han nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I feel the same way. We can't take it lightly."

Just then, the atmosphere of the banquet was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps.

A villager who went out to do farm work in the village hurried over.

He did not attend the banquet because he was reluctant to give up the acre of wasteland that was about to be reclaimed.

Whatever you plant here is yours.

This is also the root cause of the good life of the people and the rapid recovery of the population in the early days of the dynasty: lack of food can be achieved by reclaiming wasteland and not paying taxes to accumulate wealth and support more children.

The villager's face was full of anxiety: "Oh no! We found some suspicious figures, who seem to be moving around the village!"

"Suspicious figures?" John and Kafer looked at each other and became alert.

"Yes, their attire is similar to that of the previous thieves, but there are more of them, and they seem to be plotting something." The guard said anxiously.

"We need to investigate immediately!" John said without hesitation, with a flame of vigilance in his heart.

Thief A said: "It could be the previous knight lord. He discovered the village here and wants to claim his ownership and collect up to 70% of the rent."

"Damn it!" The villagers were immediately angry.

"Damn it, can't we own our own land?"

"We live well on our own, and we don't need those knight lords who can only run away!"

The joy of the banquet was interrupted in an instant, and fear appeared on the faces of the residents.

There is still a village chief in the small village.

The village chief quickly organized the young and strong men and prepared to go to the small village for reconnaissance.

They need to know the news in advance.

After knowing it, decide whether to escape.

They are definitely unwilling to live under the lord.

In fact, the great voyages of the Middle Ages are similar to this.

The feudal lords were too oppressive, and the land was not enough, so batches of people were forced to take ships that were extremely risky and half of them might be swallowed by the sea.

This was another kind of self-elimination of the population.

John and Kafer also joined the reconnaissance team.

They wanted to play a simple heroic role.

Protecting the safety of the village was their first responsibility.

…………

As night fell, the village was shrouded in tranquility.

John and Kafer followed the villagers, holding torches, and quietly left the village.

Outside the village.

The moonlight fell on the ground through the leaves, forming mottled light and shadows, and a hint of tension filled the air around.

"Did you hear it?" A villager suddenly stopped, pricked up his ears, and showed an alert look on his face.

"What did you hear?" John asked in a low voice, and his heart began to get nervous.

"It seems that there are whispers." The guard lowered his voice and moved forward slowly.

Several people approached quietly and finally saw several figures behind a bush.

Those people were wearing black cloaks, their faces were blurred, and they were talking in low voices, as if they were planning something.

Under the cloaks, they were indeed wearing the same equipment as the thieves, tattered leather armor and sword and shield.

"We must be careful, they may be the thieves' accomplices before." Kafeer whispered, feeling a little uneasy.

"We need to listen to what they are saying." John decided to get closer and try to capture more information.

She held her breath and approached slowly.

Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed John's shoulder from behind, and she turned around suddenly and saw that it was Kafeer.

"Don't move, I'll help you." Kafeer whispered, with a firm light in his eyes.

The two approached carefully and finally heard the conversation of those people.

"We must act tonight and seize control of the village while they are not prepared!" One of the voices was low and sinister.

"Yes, I heard that the residents of this town are very weak and can't stand a blow at all." Another voice sneered.

"If we succeed, we can expand our power!" The third voice was full of ambition.

"The so-called knight is just a fool with nothing. We robbed his manor and got only these tattered armor and doors."

It turned out that these three people were real thieves. They robbed the knight's manor where Thief A was.

That knight was really unlucky.
