Chapter 243 Poisonous Fish

At around three o'clock, at the darkest time before dawn, Felissa relied on her own perseverance to open her eyes.

Yesterday, the village chief did not dare to put her under house arrest despite her violent threats. After weighing the situation, he coldly informed her of tomorrow's arrangements.

The village chief still didn't dare to arrange any dangerous tasks like hunting in the mountains for her. He only asked her to stay in the village and do some logistical work, such as washing clothes, cooking and other chores.

Felissa knew that this was the limit that the village chief would accept, so she had no objection. The purpose of her stay was just to observe the transformation of the maids up close. She got up so early today to see off the person in charge of hunting.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Felissa almost didn't recognize the person in front of her.

"Carona?" she said hesitantly, staring blankly at Karona's haircut that could be said to be too tight.

Karona didn't seem surprised to see Felissa here, and a smile appeared on her face that was painted with camouflage dye: "You're here too."

"Why did you cut your hair?" Felicia looked around and saw that everyone had short hair like a dog nibbling on their heads. She couldn't help but feel pity. You must know that maids take good care of their hair, even if they are living in such a low position.

Even though they were in such a bad situation, they still insisted on taking care of their hair, but in the end, they all cut it off?

Karona showed a helpless smile: "Yesterday, my hair got tangled in a branch and was almost attacked by a wild boar. Fortunately, I was saved by someone, so I cut it off."

If it wasn't life-threatening, they actually wouldn't be willing to cut off the hair they've had for so many years.

Felissa had nothing else to say. Although she guessed that the wild boar was deliberately led to attack Karona, she had no evidence, and it was not that she could not understand the intention of doing so, so she closed her mouth.

His mouth said nothing.

After sending away the maids, Felissa went back to catch up on her sleep, and then began to do the work assigned to her by the village chief.

The first job is to do laundry.

People who go hunting usually get up before dawn. They don't come back until the moon is in the sky, and their clothes are piled up in one place, waiting for her to wash them.

It is not an easy task to wash dozens of people's clothes by hand. Felicia pushed a cart to the lake and threw a few clothes into the lake. She first used stones to weigh the clothes to prevent them from floating away.

Then he took out his magic wand, used magic to make the lake water "entangle" the clothes, then removed the stone, and then imitated the principle of a washing machine to make the clothes spin at high speed.

Even though magic made the task of washing clothes no longer difficult, the total amount of clothes was too much. Felicia had to wash them at least a dozen times until all the clothes were washed and dried. Felicia was already panting slightly.

Perhaps Felissa was so focused on what she was doing that she didn't notice someone approaching her quietly.

"Your magic level is much higher than theirs."

Felissa subconsciously threw out a few blasts of wind magic. After she realized who it was, it was too late to take back the magic.

But the village chief easily dodged Felissa's magic and was as nimble and light as an elderly man.

This is the first time Felicia has seen someone avoid magic relying solely on their own abilities.

Felissa clenched the staff in her hand: "Sorry, I didn't notice...I didn't mean it."

She stared closely at the village chief's movements, not daring to relax at all.

This place is remote and quiet. If the village chief wants to attack her, she may not be able to defeat the village chief who has experienced many battles. If the village chief wants to kill her, it will be easy to destroy her body and eliminate all traces.

Seeing Felicia's face as if facing a formidable enemy, the village chief took a few steps back and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. If I do something to you, that adult will not let me go."

All she can rely on is indeed the influence of Azarez, who is far away.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Felissa didn't want to mention Azarez too much. She couldn't help but miss the sense of security when he was around.

"Nothing, I have written you a letter." The village chief took out a letter and did not approach, but stretched out his hand and handed it to Felissa.

Felissa moved her wand, and the letter floated over.

The village chief accomplished his mission and no longer stayed any longer, turned around and left.

When he left, his footsteps made no sound on the ground. No wonder she didn't notice his approach just now.

Felissa immediately opened the letter Azarez gave her. It contained some ordinary words and told her to ask the village chief to deliver the message for her if something happened. However, Azarez did not mention a word about her situation.

After reading the letter, Felissa burned it.

Today was only the first day, and Felissa had nothing to write specifically to Azarez for help, so she didn't reply.

After washing the clothes and drying them, Felissa has to prepare lunch. Now the whole village eats together to control the food rations. The cooking place is at the village chief's house.

Felissa was dumbfounded when she saw a wilted cabbage.

A clever woman can't make a living without rice. Although most of the people in the village have gone to the mountains to hunt, there are still seven or eight people left behind in the village. No matter how talented she is, she can't feed so many people with just one cabbage.

"All the food has been taken away." Seeing her confusion, the village chief sighed, "This is the last vegetable."

Felissa was silent for a long time, and finally she could only say: "Let's make some soup."

Boiled cabbage has a little too much water.

Felissa held a bowl of cabbage soup and comforted herself as if she was drinking saline. She would be alive after all.

A bowl of vegetable soup is not enough to satisfy hunger. Felicia was so hungry in the afternoon that she felt dizzy. Although she was the lowest noble, she had never suffered such hardship. At least she had enough food and clothing and no need to worry about lack of food and clothing.

Then she remembered the river in the morning, and there seemed to be fish in it, so she went to the river again and used magic to catch a fish easily.

She carried the fish back to the village, planning to get some meat for dinner.

The village chief frowned as he watched her come back with the fish.

"What's wrong?" Felissa asked, "Is there something wrong with this fish?"

"It's okay," the village chief immediately relaxed his brow and waved his hand, "Just don't catch any more fish."

Felicia was puzzled: "Why?"

The village chief said calmly: "These fish are poisonous. Otherwise, why do you think other people don't catch fish?"

Felissa was so frightened that her hands shook and she threw the fish out: "Poison?"

Seeing Felissa's frightened look, the village chief immediately said: "It's only poisonous if you eat it. It's fine if you encounter it."

That's scary, but why is this fish poisonous?

The village chief explained: "It's not that this fish is poisonous, but that the fish in this river are poisonous. There is a plant-type monster in the upper reaches of the river. Its juice is poisonous and drips into the river, making the fish also poisonous.

"

So this means that if they want to have something to eat, they can only count on those who go up to the mountains to hunt. But how long can the prey on the mountains sustain them? And in order to survive, people from other villages will also go into the mountains to hunt, so they can naturally withstand it.

So many people’s demands?
