Asuka rode the antelope horse out of Tata City, hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and came to the outside world.

This is the first time since he was a child that he has truly stepped out of the Ezo people’s sphere of influence.

To some extent, the Ezo people are indeed out of fear of Yamato people, so they strictly forbid descendants to have contact with Yamato people, because then there is a great possibility of assimilation.

Asuka was halfway up the mountain at the moment, and he looked at the vast plains and hills in the distance, his eyes showing confusion.

The god mother only deduced that the wild boar evil god came from the territory of the western Yamato Kingdom, but the god mother, I don’t know where it is, just said a general direction, let the birds keep walking towards the west, looking for the sphere of influence of the wild boar demons on the road, as for whether they can be found, it depends on the creation of the birds.

The bird rode the antelope horse, and after walking for half a day, it finally walked out of the dense forest and entered the inhabited place.

At the same time, walking out of the forest also means that the bird has broken away from the Ezo people’s sphere of influence.

Feeling apprehensive, Asuka followed the road and passed a village, but something unexpected happened to Asuka.

After walking in, I found that there was no one in this village, and the village was very dilapidated.

It looked dilapidated for some time, and the farmland opened up by the Yamato people was all barren and overgrown with weeds.

“What’s going on?” Asuka looked at this strange village with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, the bird fell on the reins of the antelope wildebeest and looked at a certain place with a dumbfounded expression, and on the dirt wall of one of the thatched houses, there was a black mark, which was obviously dried blood.

Asuka, it is certain that something very serious must have happened here, otherwise the spring clothes could not have been abandoned.

Unable to investigate the exact cause, Asuka continued to follow the road towards the west.

After that, most of the villages that the birds passed by were very dilapidated, and all the way down, they were uninhabited.

And Asuka also found that from time to time there would be dirt bags on both sides of the road, and in front of the soil buns was simply erected a wooden plank with Yamato characters written on it.

After the Ezo people die, they will burn, and then put the ashes in clay pots, bury them in the ground, and even the tombstone will not be erected, and there is no need for sacrifices on the back, completely returning to nature.

Asuka once heard the gods say that Yamato people do not like to be burned, and everyone will be buried directly in the soil after death, and a thing called a tombstone will be erected in the place where they will be buried, so that Yamato people know where their ancestors are buried, and then sacrifice on time every year, just like sacrificing to the gods.

Thinking of this, Asuka realized that these dirt bags turned out to be graves, so many dirt bags, what happened to this generation?

Asuka thought more and more uneasily.

Stephen flew thousands of miles in the sky, and from this height, he could clearly see the slightly curved horizon ahead and the specific appearance of the ground.

When he was in that ancient wild castle, Stephen did not see the phenomenon of the chaotic world of the Warring States, and Oda Nobunaga also stayed in that ancient wild castle all the time, and he had not been to the outside world and did not know the situation outside.

After Stephen came outside, looking at the abandoned villages below and the large area of abandoned farmland, he realized that the world of Princess Mononoke was indeed a Warring States period.

Although Oda Nobuhide controlled most of Shimoowari 4, Oda Nobuhide did not develop at all except for the castles of Nakono Castle and the villages near the castle.

I don’t know if I didn’t want to develop, or because the population of the Warring States period was greatly reduced and I couldn’t develop.

In the end, Oda Nobuhide is just a poor martial artist who wants to gain power.

None of the daimyos of this era nor the lords of the cities were considered good people, and the purpose of all of them fighting was never to fight for the common people.

This is a limitation of the times, and the status of the common people today is very low, as can be seen from the difference in status and power between samurai and civilians.

Suddenly, Stephen’s eyes narrowed, and then he flapped his wings slightly, and the whole person swooped down diagonally.

In the village not far away, this village is not deserted, but at this moment it is facing another crisis.

The village was surrounded by a group of thieves armed with various weapons, these thieves also looked cold, except for a few thieves with katanas, or spears, and the thieves were holding wooden sticks, or weapons that tied kitchen knives to a log to make the weapons as long as possible, they were also tattered and old, and the people were also yellow-skinned, but their faces were full of ferocity.

The villagers were also yellow-skinned, but their clothes looked much cleaner, and they looked at the thieves who surrounded them, with a look of trepidation on their faces.

In terms of numbers, the villagers and thieves are similar, but most of the villagers are old and weak, women and children, and only a small number of young and middle-aged people, apparently, most of the young and middle-aged people have been requisitioned.

The village remained Oda Nobuhide’s sphere of influence, and it is self-evident who took it.

“Chief, there is only so much food in our village, you can’t take it all, otherwise how can we live?”

An old man among the villagers said trembling with crutches.

“Less nonsense, either teach food, or die directly.” The man known as the leader was a middle-aged man with a short stature, only one meter and a half, but very strong

He holds a katana full of openings in his hand, and although it does not look good, it can let people know that it still has the ability to slash.

The profession of thief can be said to have been born out of the times, in the era of poor productivity, the population increased, but there were so many fields that could be cultivated, resulting in some people not having enough to eat, and these people had to fall into the grass.

These people have no skills, and they can’t grab more food from the manor that has a lot of food and is guarded by family soldiers.

Their choice is to rob civilians like them, and it’s a vicious circle.

Of course, capable thieves specialize in robbing the rich and helping the poor, and this kind of thing also exists, but it is very rare.

At least this group of thieves is obviously not a species that robs the rich and helps the poor.

“It’s too much to deceive, if there is no food, we will all be unable to survive, it’s a big deal to fight with you.”

A young man on the villager’s side pulled out a kitchen knife from his waist and said imposingly.

Several other young people around also responded, as for those old and weak women and children, they were silent, they wanted to resist, but they couldn’t move at all, they just silently supported the young people’s decision.

“Oh, very good, little ones, kill these guys who don’t know how to be evil, the grain is snatched and everyone divides equally, as for the women, whoever grabs it is whom?”

The leader shouted fiercely.

To some extent, his psychology still wants these villagers to resist, in the early stage, because he wants to expand his power to ensure that he can succeed in every robbery, so the leaders of the thieves have collected a lot of displaced people, or people who have turned to him, which really made it the most eye-catching person in the nearby gang of thieves.

But this has a price, the more people, the higher the cost of raising them, this warring country chaos, it seems that it can not be calmed down for a while, more and more villages around are abandoned, and merchants dare not go out to do business because of the chaos outside.

Their inability to attack the city made life more and more difficult for the thieves.

The leader of the thieves wanted his men to fight with the villagers, and it was better to have a few more of his men die, so that he would not have to bear their rations.

Otherwise, if this continues, in the future, without food, these of his subordinates will not follow him at all, and it is very likely that they will even kill each other.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, a black shadow in the sky flew over everyone’s heads under the sunlight.

Everyone looked up curiously and found that somehow, on the roof of the mobile thatched house, a handsome-looking young man, dressed in a Chinese costume, looked at them quietly like that.

In order to avoid her original appearance and cause panic among the locals, Stephen changed her hair and pupil color to black, and as for the skin color, it was originally yellow, so she didn’t need to make any changes.

“Who are you? When was it on top? Although the leader of the last time thought Stephen was very strange, as the leader, he could not be intimidated, so he was the first to speak.

“Let’s stop here!” Stephen followed the voice to look at the leader of the bandits and said calmly.

The leader saw that Stephen was not small, from his clothing, and the appearance that was completely different from most civilians now, but Stephen looked too young, and there seemed to be no guards around, as far as Stephen was alone, the leader felt that his chances of winning were greater: “It’s simple, you say stop and stop, then how faceless I am!” Do you have food? Are you going to pay for these villagers? ”

Stephen: “Yes, I have a way to solve your food problem, but correspondingly, I can’t give you it away for nothing, you need to do things for me.” ”

The leader asked with a curious look, “Do things?” What’s up? ”

“I can provide you with land, as well as crops, which you cultivate yourself, and I will provide your food for the period before it grows.”

This idea, Stephen also just thought, this has the advantage of using the labor of these thieves, to put it simply, the most critical part is to provide free food to these thieves during the months when the food is not produced.

In the troubled times of the Warring States, food is even more important than gold, and not everyone can take it, but Stephen can do it, his World Tree Demon Species can conjure up a variety of food crops, and with some of his magic spells, it can quickly produce food.

As for the land where food is grown, Stephen is also very easy to solve, most of the people in the island country grow rice and eat rice.

If rice is grown, the requirements for the field are very high, and it cannot be biased towards dryness.

However, Stephen did not plan to grow rice, although rice is delicious, but the requirements are more demanding, Stephen wants to rely on the world tree demon species to cultivate potatoes, as well as sweet potatoes and corn, these from the Americas, there is no transmission of these easier to grow food crops, these crops for sudden requirements are not high, as long as there is soil can be planted, and can ripen several times a year, do not have to be as careful as growing rice.

Almost sprinkled and it will grow on its own.

In this way, large areas of barren fields in the vicinity can be used, which is a virtuous circle.

The thieves didn’t know what Stephen was thinking, they knew, and most of them couldn’t agree with Stephen, and with blood on their hands, they couldn’t turn back.

I can’t calm down to plow the fields.

As for the leader, it is even more impossible, he is now a thief leader, don’t mention how good, in the past, being an ordinary farmer farming had no status at all, but now so many people listen to him, and respectfully call him big brother or leader, which the thief leader did not dare to think about before.

He was satisfied with his current achievements and did not want to go back to the past, so he decisively rejected Stephen.

And said to Stephen with a fierce face: “What are you, what you say, will I believe it, how can there be such a good thing in the world, little ones, continue.” ”

Those thieves who had long been impatient were about to start again, Stephen saw this, his eyes showed a dangerous light, the opportunity, he had already given, obviously the other party did not seize it. _
