Chapter 195 Mysterious Girl
In the desert, food and water are the most precious, especially water, which is extremely valuable.
"Thank you! I just want to stay for one night and ask you something." Xiao Yan smiled and smiled at the old man in front of him.
"You must have come to the desert to gain experience!" The old man observed Xiao Yan for a while and said.
"Haha, how do you know?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
"This girl, like you, also came to the desert to gain experience. Seeing that you are about the same age and can come here alone, you must be very strong. People of your age must be from wealthy families who come out to gain experience." The old man said, pointing to the girl in a bamboo hat beside him.
"You guessed right. I did come out to gain experience. These water and meat are all my rewards." Xiao Yan looked at the girl standing there silently, and handed the water and meat in his hand to the old man.
"I don't need so much. These things are too expensive." The old man refused directly.
"Just take it! I have a lot of this stuff." As he said that, Xiao Yan put the water and meat in his hand into the old man's hand.
"Thank you, young man. Please come in!" The old man took the meat and smiled, inviting Xiao Yan into the room.
After Xiao Yan walked into the room, he found that there was only a tattered bed, a square table and three chairs in the whole room.
"Young man, please sit down first. I'll get you something to eat!" the old man greeted warmly.
Xiao Yan didn't hesitate and just pulled a chair and sat down.
After Xiao Yan sat down, the old man took water and meat to the kitchen to prepare meals for Xiao Yan.
As soon as the old man left, the room became quiet instantly. The old man's granddaughter ran to the girl wearing a bamboo hat and looked at Xiao Yan with some vigilance.
Although Xiao Yan brought her a lot of water and meat, the little girl seemed to be very afraid of strangers, especially men. Only by staying with the girl could she feel safe.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan just smiled slightly, not feeling anything, and sat quietly in the chair waiting for the old man to finish cooking.
"The meal is here!" After a while, the old man brought a pot of barbecue and tea.
After the old man put the barbecue and tea on the table, he pulled his granddaughter aside. The girl was silent the whole time, as if nothing had anything to do with her.
"You guys come and eat too!" Xiao Yan said with a smile when he saw this scene.
"No! These foods and water are brought by you. You eat first, and then we will eat!" The old man shook his head and said, pulling his granddaughter.
"Haha, how can that be? Come and eat together! I also have something to ask you." Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.
"Okay! Thank you for that!" The old man thanked repeatedly and took his granddaughter to the table and sat down.
"Here! Eat it quickly!" Xiao Yan took a piece of meat and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl looked at her grandfather, and after seeing his nod, she picked up the meat and started eating it with relish.
Judging from the way the little girl was eating voraciously, she must have not eaten meat for a long time.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan set his eyes on the strange girl sitting on the bed and said softly, "Would you like to eat something together?"
"No, I brought my own food." The girl shook her head and took out a cake from her bosom and started to eat. Xiao Yan saw that she had brought her own food, so he did not force her to join him. He immediately turned his attention to the old man and asked, "I see that your village is full of old people and children, and there is not even a young person. Why is that?"
"Originally, there were dozens of families and young people in this village. However, a few years ago, people from the Mo family in Yancheng came to the village and said that if you work for them, you can get 100 gold coins a year, and food and accommodation are provided. One hundred gold coins! This is something that poor people like us can never earn in a lifetime! So all the young people in the village went to the Mo family, but several years have passed, and no one has come back, and there is no news. Alas! There are only old people and children like us left in the village. Even food has become a problem. Most of them have starved to death. Now there are only a few families left in the village." The old man said with some sadness.
"Yancheng Mo Family!" Xiao Yan frowned. In his impression, the Mo family did not seem to be a good family.
The ancestors of the Mo family had an alchemist, but this alchemist was not interested in studying elixirs, but was very interested in transplanting magical beast organs. He liked to transplant some magical beast organs into humans to strengthen himself.
However, transplanting Warcraft organs is a very dangerous thing. Warcraft are relatively violent and bloodthirsty, so once a Warcraft organ is transplanted, the temperament will change drastically, becoming as violent as the Warcraft, and gradually losing sanity.
In view of various drawbacks, the people of Yancheng Mohist School temporarily gave up transplanting organs from monsters, and instead turned their attention to people with strange organs.
For example, Qinglin, who possessed the green snake's three-flower pupil in the original novel, was targeted by the Mohist school.
However, transplanting Warcraft organs is a very dangerous thing and requires repeated experiments.
And experiments must have experimental subjects. Naturally, the people of the Mohist School would not experiment on themselves, nor would they target people in the city. After all, the Mohist School is still a charitable family on the surface, the kind that cooks delicious food without leaving a name, and often helps old ladies cross the street.
If you keep arresting people in the city, you will be exposed sooner or later, and then some righteous people will naturally come to you.
Therefore, the Mohists placed the experimental subjects in some remote villages. These small villages were isolated from the outside world and sometimes people would never set foot in a city in their entire lives. They believed that they did not know about the dirty deeds of the Mohists in Yancheng.
Xiao Yan guessed that most of those who went to work for the Mo family had died, and died very miserably.
"Although I'm not a good person, your actions are very similar to those of a certain Sun Country. I'll always feel uncomfortable if I don't wipe you out completely!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but think in his heart.
As Xiao Yan had this thought, the murderous aura in his body was unconsciously revealed.
"Huh?" The girl sitting on the bed felt the murderous aura emanating from Xiao Yan and couldn't help but let out a light exclamation, but didn't say anything.
"Didn't you send anyone to look for them?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.
"Alas! Although this place is nearly a thousand miles away from Yancheng, because the person who went there had not been home for several years, he went to Yancheng, but was kicked out before he even entered the gate of the Mo family. After he came back, he died not long after." The old man sighed.
"My parents also went to work for the Mo family. They have been gone for three years. Can you help me find out their whereabouts? I really miss them." The little girl looked at Xiao Yan pitifully and said.
"I will." Xiao Yan touched the little girl's head and said softly.
Although Xiao Yan knew that her parents must have met with an accident, he still didn't say it out loud.
"Thank you very much!" When the old man saw Xiao Yan agreed, he hurriedly thanked him.
Since many people have left the village, there are still quite a few empty rooms.
After Xiao Yan had eaten and drunk his fill, he followed the old man to find an empty room and rested in it.
