Refuse To Bind The System, Meet God At The Corner

I don’t know what’s going on, but Nalan Shu has been having the same dream since he came to Kazehsiwen.

In the dream, he was in a garden surrounded by wooden fences. Outside the garden was a vast void, and there was no one else except him.

There is a small tree growing in the garden that is only as tall as a person. The tree is tall and straight, and you can tell at a glance that it has the foundation to grow into a towering tree. On the crown of the tree, there are countless flowers with pink and white petals, which are as bright as a shy girl. Beautiful and touching.

There was an ugly black worm under the tree, slowly crawling towards the roots of the tree.

What it wants to do is chew through the roots of the tree and suck out the resin.

When Nalan Shu saw this insect for the first time, it was still on the fence. After crawling for almost three years, it was finally close to crawling under the tree, and it was a feast for the eyes.

The tree danced on its own without the wind for some reason, as if it was afraid of the worm. If it hadn't been deeply rooted in the ground, it would have fled away long ago.

Nalan Shu, on the other hand, was watching from the side. Even though he instinctively felt disgusted with the dark and ugly insect, he didn't intend to do anything because it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

Just a dream.

When Youyou woke up, it was early in the morning. Nalan Shu didn't think much about it. After washing up, he went out and walked to the entrance of the village.

Today he is going to participate in a collecting activity, and the meeting point is at the entrance of the village.

After a while, Nalan Shu arrived at the agreed place.

Next to a small wooden house at the entrance of the village, a middle-aged male elf wearing leather armor leaned against the wall with his arms folded, humming an unknown ditty. He carried a bow and short knife on his shoulders, and was wearing brown clothing. The feet in the hard leather boots hit the ground rhythmically.

Several other elves in the same attire were sitting aside with nothing to do, checking their weapons.

Seeing Nalan Shu coming, the middle-aged male elf raised his eyebrows and whistled: "You came quite early, Nalan."

"Well, good morning, Saka."

This man named Saika is the captain of the hunting team in the village. He is now mainly responsible for organizing people to go out to collect food, or teaching children to hunt and collect food in the wild.

Nalan Shu had participated in several such gathering activities, and had met the captain several times, so he was considered an acquaintance.

"Good morning, Nalan." Sai Ka came up to greet him and patted Nalan Shu's shoulder, "Just wait a moment when you come, there's not everyone here yet."

"good."

Nalan Shu came to one side and sat down, and two Elf boys who looked to be eleven or twelve years old immediately gathered around him.

They are also members of this gathering activity. The lively one is named Nal, and the quieter one is named Nani.

These are a pair of biological brothers who, like Nalan Shu, were apprentices to Kushens. However, since the report was early, the two of them should be regarded as Nalan Shu's senior brothers.

"Nalan Nalan Nalan..." Null grabbed Nalan Shu's arm and shook it vigorously. "A few days ago, I asked you to help me refine the potion that 'drinks it to make you grow up faster.' Have you finished it? ah?"

"Well, it's done. Here it is for you."

Nalan Shu took out a small bottle of light blue potion from his pocket and handed it to Naal.

"Wu~" Narr's eyes sparkled, he took the potion, and happily ran to show off to his other friends.

"Brother Nalan, does this potion really have such a magical effect?" Nani asked curiously.

"Yes, yes. It's just that the effect of the medicine is relatively slow. You can't see anything in the short term. The effect will be obvious when the time is up."

In fact, this so-called potion that "drinks it to make you grow up faster" is just an ordinary bottle of sugar water.

There is indeed a potion that accelerates growth, but of course Nalan Shu would not give it to him. He would just give the boy a bottle of sugar water to make him happy.

"Nani, why would he want this potion?"

"Oh, today is Nalan's 100th birthday. He should be doing this because he wants to ask for a birthday gift from you... Hey, brother Nalan, why do you look so strange?"

"No...it's nothing." Nalan Shu lowered his head and covered his face, and asked Nani in a low voice: "How old are you this year?"

"I was born late, and I am only eighty-seven years old this year." Nani asked Nalan Shu, "Where are you, big brother?"

Nalan Shu: "...6."

"Are you over six hundred years old? Well, I always thought that you, brother, would be over two hundred years old this year. Didn't you expect that you are already so old?"

"Let's change the topic." Nalan Shu took a deep breath.

There are too many flaws in talking about age and lifespan between humans and immortals like the elves, so it would be better to change the topic.

"Oh, good."

Time passed slowly in the chat. When everyone was gathered, Saiga announced his departure and headed to his destination, the foothills of the Faloming Mountains.

Faroming Mountain is a big mountain south of the village, about six or seven miles away from the village. There are many good things in the forest at the foot of the mountain, including all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits, precious herbs, birds and animals, providing abundant resources for the people in the village.

These are gifts from nature and a huge treasure trove that villagers have relied on for thousands of years.

"Okay, let's stop here!" Sai Ka, the leader, waved his hand. The team members who walked all the way held on to nearby trees and gasped for air. Some of them just sat on the ground. The road in the forest was difficult to walk, but they were really tired. of.

"The girls will collect around here later, don't go too far; leave three of the boys to follow the girls, and the rest will follow me to hunt. Now that we are all around, I will tell you some things you need to pay attention to."

"First of all, pay attention to safety, don't run around, don't eat unfamiliar things..."

"Secondly, we must always follow the large troops to avoid getting lost..."

"third……"

Sai Ka's voice was loud and cadenced, but few people below were listening carefully. Everyone was looking around and chatting quietly. After all, this is just routine, and the team members have heard him tell it several times.

After explaining the precautions, Saika began to arrange everyone's tasks.

"Nalan, Nall, Nani, this time you three will collect together with the girls."

As before, Saiga made such an arrangement.

"Okay." Nalan Shu, Nal, and Nani agreed in unison.

Generally, boys will go hunting with Saiga, while younger ones will gather with girls, such as Nar and Nani; Nalan Shu was left behind purely because he was too weak and physically fit. Worse, he can't even pull the bow.

Now after matrix carving and taking the elixir, Nalan's physical strength has been greatly improved, and drawing a bow is a simple matter.

But compared to hunting, Nalan Shu still liked to do light work such as collecting herbs, wild vegetables and fruits, so he did not take the initiative to ask to participate in hunting.
