Chapter 1176 Not Rich

Pedestrians on the road in Sylvie City seemed to be in a hurry. And judging from their spirits, Zhang Tong couldn't feel the richness of this place that Qin Kuairen had always said to him.

Whether a place is peaceful and prosperous or not does not require too much research. It only needs to carefully observe the spirit of the local residents to draw a conclusion.

Just like today's Chinese residents, walking on the streets of the city, if you observe them carefully, you will find that most of them are energetic and confident. Most of the people were talking and laughing on the road. The mental state is also very relaxed.

This is because the country is relatively wealthy these days. More than 80% of people don't need to worry about the simplest problem of food and clothing for three meals a day.

Nor will you worry about your personal safety. There will be no bombs that suddenly fall from the sky and explode around you. There will be no bullets flying past his cheeks.

This kind of full spirit and self-confidence is the common feature of almost all residents living in a peaceful and prosperous country.

And those who live in unrest and hunger activities. Their mental state is also visible at a glance.

People living in war-torn and poverty-stricken areas have completely different mental outlooks. Because of the long-term war, the residents are highly stressed mentally and behave particularly vigilantly. At the slightest sign of trouble, they scatter like frightened rabbits.

And behavior will become more cautious, if you want to accurately express that kind of behavior in Chinese, it is [wretched].

If according to what Qin Kuairen said, this place is rich and rich, then people walking on the road should be relatively more confident.

But the people walking on the suburban road of Sylvie didn't look so confident and wealthy.

Under Zhang Tong's reminder, Qin Kuairen also noticed this. He scratched his head a little: "Boss, what you said seems to be true."

"The Immortal City is already surrounded by several satellite cities, which should be the wealthiest place on the entire continent. When I came to this world, I have also been to some cities in other human kingdoms. Those places are indeed relatively poor and full of food. It’s still a big problem.”

"However, the problem of food and clothing has been solved near the Immortal City. There are a large number of mages here to help farmers improve their fields, and they can also change the climate on a small scale. Therefore, the weather here has always been good. The staple food like potatoes in the land has never been It hasn't been broken. I haven't found a single beggar in the Immortal City and surrounding cities!"

As soon as Qin Kuairen's words fell, he felt that he had been slapped in the face.

Because not far from the entrance of Sylvie City Gate, several hungry skinny children were begging from passers-by with their hands outstretched.

"All right, sir, give me something to eat. Anything is fine, beans, bread, anything. A little offal is fine." The children looked a little too thin.

The weather here is not too cold, but it's not too warm either. If the wind blows, passers-by still have to wrap their clothes tightly. But these children are still wearing relatively thin cloth clothes, and they are obviously not suitable. They look much bigger than their own bodies, and they look like clothes worn by adults.

The children must have been hungry for a long time. There is no flesh on the child's face at all. The original baby fat on the child's face and the apple muscles that should have bulged have sunk, making the child's cheekbones look particularly high.

Also because he was so hungry and had no meat on his body, it seemed that the child had a very big head and a very thin neck. The hand that the child stretches out to beg is as thin as a stick.

All the children stared blankly with hunger, only the leader looked older than those children, and he was still yelling as hard as he could, hoping to get some food in exchange.

However, most of the passers-by just glanced at them. Occasionally, a kind swordsman passed by and gave the child a pancake, but this was not enough for the six children. The older child who wanted pancakes gave the pancakes to the other younger children first, and said, "Start with the younger ones, one bite at a time."

The children could only take one bite each, and the bite was very restrained. Even so, when the pancake was passed to the older child, there was only a small piece left.

Don't say that this pancake will satisfy your hunger, if you eat it, you will be even more hungry.

The older child swallowed, and unceremoniously stuffed the remaining pancakes into his mouth. However, this kind of dry food-like pancakes are dry and hard, and most people have to drink water to eat them. The child choked directly in his throat as soon as he swallowed it down. The one who couldn't get up and down was uncomfortable. After a while, his little face became flushed, and he felt that he couldn't even breathe.

This eldest child is the oldest among the six children in this wave, and looks like he can be seven or eight years old. The others are all small, and some of them look like they are only three or four years old and just able to walk, and they still need to be hugged by their brothers.

Seeing the eldest brother choking, the group of children panicked and didn't know what to do. The youngest three-and-a-half-year-old girl cried out of fright.

Just when the older child was choking and unable to breathe, a big hand slapped him on the back violently. clap~cough~

The child coughed, spitting out the pancake stuck in his throat.

The child looked at the spit out pancakes with eyes full of reluctance, what a good food, why didn't it go into my stomach.

But this big boy still has a sense of proportion, his regret is just for a moment, and then he raised his head to look at the benefactor who saved his life. It was a man with short black hair and slightly strange clothes.

He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and righteousness, which makes people feel good at first glance, and this person is full of aura, which is the aura that can only be cultivated by those who have been in the upper class for a long time.

The older child hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you for saving me, Eze, thank you for being here."

It was Zhang Tong who saved him, because Jiang Hua was also pregnant with a baby, so Zhang Tong couldn't stand the child's suffering now. These six children were sitting some distance outside the entrance to the city, begging for food on the busy road, their little faces were sunken from hunger, Zhang Tong couldn't see this the most now.

Zhang Tong couldn't understand what the big boy was talking about on the phone. After all, he couldn't understand the language. He could only smile, then walked to Qin Kuairen's side, and said to him: "Give them a can of eight-treasure porridge each. These children must have been hungry for a long time, and they can't eat hard food now, or their intestines won't be able to bear it." .First give them eight-treasure porridge Shun Yishun."

Qin Kuairen nodded, and then began to look for food from the salute he brought. This time Zhang Tong and Qin Kuairen did not come to this other world empty-handed.

They have prepared many specialties of the earth, including various foods. There are local specialties and temporary drinks, all of which have never been seen in this world. All these things were packed in the suitcase Qin Kuairen brought.

This suitcase may look small from the outside, but in fact there is a universe inside, and the space inside is much larger than what can be seen from the outside.

This is a device newly developed by the scientific research department under the General Administration of Management, and it is still in the experimental stage. To say that this equipment has something to do with Zhang Tong. Because Zhang Tong lost a small electric donkey in the early years. Later, a gang of supernatural thieves was involved.

The thief leader Li Xue inside, her ability is space storage. This powerful ability is used by her to steal battery cars.

Zhang Tong was not polite to her, and let Jiang Hua's men arrest her. After tossing and turning, Li Xue was found out by people in the capital.

The General Administration thought that Li Xue's abilities were of great use, so they gave her a chance to reform herself. Let her cooperate with the scientific research department of the General Administration to store equipment in space.

This suitcase is the first generation of space storage equipment. Although the box looks small, it is the same as the magic item that has been casted with the traceless stretching spell in the world of Harry Potter, and it contains a lot of things.

Qin Kuiren took out six bottles of eight-treasure porridge from inside, and handed them to the children one by one.

"Well, open the tab... Forget it, I'll open it for you." Qin Kuairen originally wanted to say that the tab can be opened and the food inside can be eaten. But looking at how small these children are, they probably won't be able to open these pull rings if they are so thin.

Qin Kuairen opened all the pull tabs of the eight-treasure porridge, and then demonstrated how to eat the eight-treasure porridge. These children have been hungry for several days, and the eight-treasure porridge smells sweet.

"Thank you, Uncle." Led by the eldest child, Eze, they thanked Qin Kuiren, and then they imitated the eight-treasure porridge with the spoon that came with it and drank it.

"Sweet! So sweet! So sweet!" The youngest three and a half year old girl didn't have all her teeth yet, her little face was dusty, and her hair was as dry as straw. If a child is a lovely porcelain doll, then she is like a rag doll that has been forgotten by time, and has already experienced vicissitudes. But now this gray doll is about to jump up happily while eating eight-treasure porridge and dancing. "I'm going to bring it to my mother."

"Mom is starving to death, don't keep it, you can eat it yourself." A slightly older child said cruel words in a childish voice: "Otherwise you will starve to death too."

"Does starvation mean that you will lie down and fall asleep and never get up again?" Although the little girl's whole body was dusty, her big blue eyes were as clear as sapphires.

"Yeah!" The older child nodded while drinking eight-treasure porridge.

"It's great, you don't have to go hungry when you fall asleep. Mom, don't wake up again from now on. It's too uncomfortable to be hungry when you are awake." Accept the words.

Qin Kuairen actually felt suffocated for a moment.

All the children were drinking the eight-treasure porridge, and only Eze was observing the packaging of the eight-treasure porridge.

"It's so exquisite! Does food have to be packaged in such a beautiful way? It's also printed with such exquisite pictures, so beautiful. Even ordinary noble families can't afford such food." Eze looked at the eight-treasure porridge, and then He looked at Qin Kuairen and Zhang Tong.

Just when he was about to do something, a rough and even rough voice came: "I said, you refugees are not allowed to approach Sylvie City, let alone the City of Immortality! Didn't you hear that?"

A soldier in full body armor came leading a group of soldiers in leather armor. He said in a booming tone, "I'll give you a few seconds, get out!"
