Plane Supermarket

Chapter 144

Joel is dead.

Ye Zhou didn't even know who Joel was when he got the news.

The cause of death was hanging.

While his parents were asleep, he hanged himself with a hemp rope.

Ye Zhou just sighed when he saw his age, 16 years old.

After Chen Shu took someone to dispose of the corpse, he told him that Joel's parents were very sad, but they seemed to be in good spirits, and there was a high probability that they would not die with their son.

"I remember him." Sarah patted Ye Zhou's knee when Ye Zhou was reading the materials, as if she wanted to sit on Ye Zhou's lap, she looked up at Ye Zhou, "When my leg was not broken, he Give me a piece of bread."

Sarah's memory is not very clear, but she remembers Joel, probably because Joel is one of the rare people who has kindness to her.

At that time, she was sitting on the side of the road in ragged clothes, curled up dirty, her long hair covered her face, and all the townspeople saw her as if they didn't see her. They all knew that she was the "human being" in the castle. ", is a "person" who is not liked by the Duke, and who is bullied and ignored.

They dared not give her anything, or even stop in front of her.

Only Joel dared, perhaps because Joel's parents hid him too well. He didn't know Sarah's identity, and he didn't think deeply about why there was such a poor person like Sarah in such a perfect town.

He gave her a small piece of bread, and then quickly left Sarah's sight under the greeting of his companions.

That's when she knew his name.

But Sarah didn't have any feelings for Joel, even very shallow gratitude. When Joel was mentioned, Sarah's tone hardly fluctuated at all.

Ye Zhou was a little strange: "You have no opinion on his death?"

Sarah realized that Ye Zhou wasn't going to hug her, so she could only sit on a low stool beside her, took a bag of dried fried peppers from the tea table, and said while eating, "I don't know, I don't feel it."

Before meeting Ye Zhou, her world was gloomy, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a black veil.

Joel is not a light that can penetrate that layer of veil, maybe it was briefly lit, but it passed in a flash.

Besides, her memory is very poor. It is difficult for her to remember anything, let alone remember her emotions when it happened.

Sarah handed a fried chili to Ye Zhou's mouth, and said expectantly, "It's delicious, try it."

Ye Zhou looked at the pepper as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and his mouth began to salivate unconsciously. He could even imagine how many glasses of water he would have to drink after eating this pepper.

But Sarah kept raising her arms, very determined to let Ye Zhou have a taste of her favorite delicacy.

There was no way, in order not to make Sarah sad, Ye Zhou could only close his eyes, and ate the pepper in one bite.

He didn't even dare to chew it much, he just chewed it up and swallowed it.

Maybe he ate too fast. Sarah thought Ye Zhou also liked chili peppers, so she excitedly picked up another one and brought it to Ye Zhou's mouth.

This time Ye Zhou finally refused: "I'm full at noon, you can eat."

He even changed the subject and asked, "Do you think there is anyone in this town who should be let go?"

Sarah blinked, and she said, "No, they never talk to me."

Ye Zhou raised his hand and patted Sarah's head. Although she was treated like a child, Sarah was not angry, she was used to it.

Maybe it's because she was never treated as a child when she was a child, so even if she is not a child now, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with such behavior.

"Take a nap." Ye Zhou stood up and left the lounge as if fleeing.

He closed the door of the lounge before he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he only ate one fried chili, he had already started to feel his throat hurt.

Ye Zhou couldn't understand people who love chili peppers at all. They didn't feel their lips and throats hurt, especially their lips, which were numb and sore, and drinking water couldn't relieve it much.

Thinking of Sarah's two bags of fried peppers, Ye Zhou couldn't help but shudder.

Joel's death didn't have any impact on the townspeople. Now almost no one in the town goes out. The townspeople don't communicate with each other. It's just that some townspeople run out at night, but they don't want to climb over the wall and leave. , but to find something to eat.

They dare not approach the supermarket and will run towards the original bakery.

But the bakery has no bread for a long time. In the first few days, Ye Zhou didn't ask anyone to take care of the bakery. The main reason was that the supermarket was short of manpower. Ye Zhou could only let most people patrol and guard the city. Let people escape.

As time went by, the townspeople were also hungry for a while, and they didn't have the energy to run around anymore.

How to deal with them has become the biggest problem facing Ye Zhou now.

He couldn't let these people out, but he couldn't do business by keeping them in town.

Fortunately, most of the "blood slaves" who were rescued were able to walk on the ground. The one who recovered the best was a female half-orc with a pair of dog ears and a tail. Her vitality was very tenacious. Can eat and sleep.

She couldn't remember when she was arrested, but she clearly remembered that she was brought in by the horned man.

Because they are of the same race, there is nothing to be wary of.

Ye Zhou was about to rush over to see her now.

When he was walking on the road, he recalled the horned man and the tiger-eared man. In all fairness, the horned man and the tiger-eared man did not intend to harm him and Zou Ming. They just wanted to gain benefits so that they could continue to live in this small town. inside.

In other words, most of the people in the town were like this. They didn't want to harm others subjectively, they just wanted to make a profit.

As long as they can make a profit, they don't care what they are going to do, and they don't have any moral bottom line.

He has never seen the horned people and the tiger-eared people, and what they do is no different from other townspeople. Ye Zhou feels a little sorry for them, thinking that if they change their environment, they might be good people, but that's all.

Just because the horned man had radiated kindness to him, he would not treat him differently and make an exception.

Ye Zhou entered the tent where the dog-eared people lived. She was not tall, not as tall as the horned people. On the contrary, if it weren't for the ears and tail, she would look more like a dwarf or a goblin.

But the same thing is that the dog-eared man also has a very simple and honest face, a pair of round eyes, character eyebrows, and a bit of bitterness.

Even when there is no expression, it looks like crying.

In this way, Ye Zhou remembered that the golden retriever raised by his classmate had such a bitter look when he didn't open his mouth.

As soon as the dog-eared man saw Ye Zhou coming in, he immediately sat on the chair in a regular manner, with his head raised and his chest raised. There were still scars on her face that hadn't fully healed, but the bruises on her skin had faded away, and her body had a little improvement. Meat, she didn't dare to look at Ye Zhou's eyes, but only dared to look at his chin.

Ye Zhou cleared his throat, and said to the dog-eared man in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, you are already safe, you can have a job when you recover, and you don't have to worry about life in the future."

In order to show that he is different from the vampires who kept them in captivity before, Ye Zhou added: "If I were to do anything to you, I wouldn't spend so much time and energy saving you."

Dog-eared people can calculate this account, half-orcs are generally not very smart, they are more like incomplete evolution, so although they are humans, they behave and think more like animals, relying on intuition rather than brains, and like dogs Earren, she still has the habit of a dog, which is loyalty.

But slave owners don't like half-orcs very much, because although they do a lot, they eat a lot, and they are easy to cause trouble and offend customers. servant.

The dog-eared man nodded, her ears moved, and her tail flicked twice unconsciously. She probably realized that her behavior was not good. Ye Zhou watched as her tail hooked and shook again. Then pause in the air.

The dog-eared man nodded, she looked nervous and cramped.

Ye Zhou could only ask her first: "Do you still remember where your hometown is?"

The dog-eared man's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly opened her mouth and said, "It's in the middle of two mountains!"

"We dig ditches in spring, so that in winter, the ditches widen and we don't have to freeze them. It's just that we eat more meat, so we have to exchange the grain we grow for meat, but meat is too expensive."

"We're still hunting!" The dog-eared man's tail wagged from side to side, because it was closed in the cellar before, so her tail was a little bald.

Ye Zhou smiled and encouraged her to continue: "Then why did you leave your hometown?"

The dog-eared man's ears drooped, and she whispered, "Because the ditch was dug too big, when it rains, the village is flooded."

Ye Zhou: "..."

The dog-eared people quickly said: "I heard that humans and other races like dogs very much! So the village chief asked us dog-eared people to come out and see if there is any village willing to accept us, and then take them over when we settle down. "

Ye Zhou: "...Your village chief is quite smart."

The dog-eared man smiled, and when she smiled, the bitter look on her face disappeared, and she looked extraordinarily sunny.

"Those half-orcs who lied to you and got arrested, what punishment do you want them to accept?" Ye Zhou then got to the point, "Because of them, you entered this town and were caught by vampires. Now you are free and here too It's time for them to be punished."

The dog-eared man was stunned for a moment, she scratched her chin, then scratched her ears, the smile on her face disappeared, her shoulders slightly pulled down, carefully looked at Ye Zhou's face, and finally said: "Let, let them let's go."

Ye Zhou shook his head: "There are many farmers around. If they can't find food and a place to stay, they may rob those farmers."

The dog-eared man hurriedly gestured and said, "You can take them to the woods, there is no road inside! They have to hunt and find a place to live by themselves. If they can survive, it means that the beast god has forgiven them."

Ye Zhou was taken aback, and he immediately realized, didn't the dog-eared man mean to be exiled?

Exiled to a desolate place, as for their final death or life, it is up to luck.

This is indeed a good way. You don't need to get blood on your hands, and you don't have to worry about them harming one party. Even if they can survive in the end, they must have endured hardships and received enough punishment.

The wild is extremely dangerous, even for those with wilderness experience.

Ye Zhou smiled at the dog-eared man: "Thank you."

He stood up on his knees, and the dog-eared man blinked, not understanding why he thanked himself.

But she still remembered another mission of hers. Before Ye Zhou left the tent completely, she shouted at Ye Zhou: "That! Can the people in my village take over?!"

Ye Zhou turned his head and said gently, "Yes, there will be a lack of people here soon."

And he needs local people to act as a living signboard to attract business.
