Chapter 61 Apples and Sugar

Looking at this paradise-like mountain village, Jenna couldn't help but speak.

"This is where?"

"This...how to say, this village does not have a specific name. We followed the guidance of the villagers in the surrounding villages and walked all the way." Sophie pointed her finger at her chin and said while thinking.

"I'll help you sit there for a while, there's a tree stump there."

Sophie helped Jenna under an apple tree, then slowly lowered it and let her sit on the stump.

"It's very peaceful here." Jenna looked at the few people working in the fields, with hats on their heads and sweaty cheeks, but when she was tired, she would sit and rest from time to time, chatting with others.

"Yes, or stay here for a few more days, anyway, we will not leave until the villagers have finished collecting the apples."

"I'm afraid this won't work, I'm still being hunted down, I'm afraid it will affect you all." Jenna shook her head.

"Hunt, have you committed any serious crime?"

Sophie jumped up in surprise, looking at this young girl, she thought at first that she had accidentally fallen while traveling in the mountains, and her body was mostly bruised and small scratches.

"Criminal, I'm afraid it is, I offended some people from the halberd faction."

"What is the halberd pie, why haven't I heard of it." Sophie looked at the girl suspiciously.

"Don't you know the halberd faction, they are a group of mercenaries who used to go abroad and then returned to China..." Jenna explained.

"Hey, but this is Crancia. It seems that you ran a long way." Sophie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and patted her chest.

"As long as you don't violate Crancia's laws, we won't be able to keep you. As for Heiyan, I don't know, they wouldn't dare to come here anyway." Sophie sat on the grass beside Jenna again. superior.

Crancia, listening to this familiar name, Zena thought of the west wind in the past again. Her father used to be a mercenary in Xifeng for many years, and told her many things about Xifeng, so she despised Xifeng's corruption, but what she didn't expect was that her country is not much better, it can only be said that it is worse than bad .

"How is Crancia now? I am a native of Black Rock, and I know very little about this country. The only experience I have is passing by the Red Gravel City in an airship that year, but it is the big city of Crancia, and I have not been to other places. ."

"Very good." Sophie said simply.

"Although there are occasional famines, everyone can basically eat enough, and people will not starve to death, and the country is currently very peaceful."

"Also, there are really no more levels for bandits and money collection, which is the best." Sophie commented on her childhood experiences.

"In the past, it was not easy to do business. Not only did you have to pay various tolls and taxes, but you also had to be careful about robbery. Now the security is very good. As long as you walk on the road, you will not see robbery. Even if someone does bad things, you have to be very careful. , because the law enforcement agencies are very powerful, they have all kinds of means to arrest people."

"Sounds like a good deal."

Jenna nodded suspiciously. Maybe it's just that the local environment is good. There are no bandits and robbers in the whole country. She doesn't quite believe this. In fact, many robbers are not completely independent professions. There are quite a few of them. It was made by the local villagers. Hidden in this way, it is actually very difficult to remove.

"Does Jena not believe it?"

"No, maybe I haven't seen it before, and I won't be able to accept it for a while." Jenna was a little embarrassed, she was really not polite.

"Haha, it's nothing. If I told others 2 years ago, everyone would say it's a fairy tale."

"However, it's really different, now Crancia."

Sophie looked at the field in the sun and suddenly stood up.

"Wait for me." After she finished speaking, the girl jumped down from the hillside and sprinted down the hillside with green grass. She opened her hands and shouted a cheerful tone.

Soon the girl jumped over a few stones in the grass, jumped high, and then fell, slowly turning into a small person in Zena's field of vision.

Finally, Sophie stayed in the shade of a tree, where sat a fruit farmer with a bamboo basket on his back.

She seemed to say something, and then the fruit farmer took some fruits from the bamboo basket behind her and put them in Sophie's open pocket.

Then Sophie nodded with a smile, and then walked back with these fruits. Seeing Jena looking at her, she waved a few more times.

The weather at the end of April was no longer cold. Jena sat under the shade of a tree, and a little sunlight fell on her body through the tender leaves, and she felt a warm feeling.

After a while, Sophie climbed the hill again and walked to Jenna's side. She was panting slightly, and there were a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Huh, I've finally climbed up." She slumped beside Jenna, her back was leaning on Jenna's waist, her legs were spread apart, and a few yellow fruits rolled out of her skirt pockets and landed in the green grass. .

"It's been hard work." Jenna felt the still breathing body, as if the stove was leaning against her.

"Give."

Sophie took out a fruit and handed it to Jenna. The pale yellow skin was very smooth. Only when you looked closely could you find the faint dots. This was a yellow apple.

"By the way, I'd better wipe it." Sophie took back the apple, wiped the skirt on her side, and handed it to Jenna again.

"Thank you." Jena took it, Sophie's fingers fell on the palm of her hand like warm stones, and then disappeared for a moment.

Yellow apples do not mean that they are not yet ripe, some apples are naturally yellow

of. After taking a bite, a sweet taste accompanied the juice in the mouth, making people unable to take a few more bites.

"Hey, is it delicious?"

"Delicious." Jena replied in a low voice, hearing a crisp voice beside her. It turned out that Sophie was also nibbling on an apple.

Eating a crunchy apple, Jenna asked Sophie curiously.

"What did you say to that uncle just now, and then he gave you a few apples."

"He said I was from the Lake Chamber of Commerce and wanted to buy some apples to eat. Then he said no, and gave me a few without asking for any money."

"Grandpa is a good man." Sophie said happily.

"Is it that simple?" Jenna recalled her experience in Heiyan, and she was a little unbelievable. Those bowhunters regarded the things produced by their fields and fruit trees very strictly, for fear that others would steal them.

"Yes, in fact, this is very common, because our chamber of commerce has also stayed here for a few days, and everyone is familiar with it."

"Actually, as long as you get to know each other, you can get along very well. Occasionally, I will give candy to children, just like that eldest lady."

"I'll look for it, maybe there are a few left in the bag." Sophie flipped over the small leather bag she was carrying.

"But isn't candy very expensive, is it really good to give them this way?"

"If they can't eat in the future, wouldn't it be torture..." Jenna recalled those figures in her hometown.

A small cube was stuffed into her mouth, forcing Jenna to close her mouth and feel the sweetness flowing from the tip of her tongue.

"How can you say that." Sophie stood up unhappy, with her hands on her waist.

"Because of eating candy, they will yearn for this beautiful world even more, and then work hard to get out of the mountain village and experience this vast and wonderful world."

"And the sweetness in this memory will become the beauty that they will never forget in their hearts, as well as the motivation to move forward."
