v5 Chapter 4： The test of true rice and maple night (1/2)

Zhu Shi took Yushiro away.

Feng Ye didn't actually leave, he still stood where he was before, but was hidden in the gap of time, so that neither Zhu Shi nor Yu Shi Lang could notice.

He quietly looked in the direction where Zhu Shi had left, his eyes gleaming with a little light golden luster, and he saw the future that was like branches and scattered leaves.

”Although it has changed the direction of the future, is it still in place?”

Feng Ye smiled softly.

The prescription he gave to Zhushi is indeed true, but it was a prescription hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years have passed, and some of the medicinal materials have actually become extinct.

Therefore, Zhu Shi did not simply find all the medicinal materials to make that kind of medicine. She needed her wisdom to create a substitute for the extinct part of the medicinal materials.

This will not be done in a short while.

Feng Ye gave her ten years of time. In fact, he didn't mention it casually, but after a cursory glance at the future, he judged that it would take ten years before Zhu Shi could recreate the medicine.

At the current time point, it was exactly ten years since Midouzi was turned into a ghost, and Tanjiro became an apprentice.

”Find something interesting and do it.”

Feng Ye looked down at the string of ever-changing futures and turned around with a smile.

...

Dilapidated town.

This is a large area of ​​villages and towns, but it seems that the houses are a bit decayed and old, and the people walking on the streets are more or less patched on their clothes.

This is a poor village and town, and there are many more such villages and towns in this era.

In the corner of this small town.

Some children who were only about ten years old and messed up all gathered in the corner. There were a few broken-corner begging bowls in front of them, but the bowls were empty and there was no food.

This is a desolate era, or in impoverished remote areas, where such situations abound. Some orphans have lost their parents, and some have been driven out simply because their families cannot support them.

The ones who were kicked out were actually slightly better.

Even worse, they were sold directly to human traffickers by their parents in exchange for money.

These unviable orphans can only curl up in a dark corner like this, looking at the people passing by with prayer eyes, hoping to get a little food.

And at this moment.

Wow!

A few clean white cakes fell into the broken corners of begging bowls.

The gray eyes of all the children lit up almost instantly, and they rushed over, fighting for the pieces of white cake with all their strength.

The big one quickly took up his share, while the thin one was squeezed aside, only getting a little corner.

But there are special cases.

It was a little girl with messy hair and obviously thinner arms than others, but she was much more flexible than others. She grabbed a large piece and held it tightly in the corner to eat.

Few people in this poor small town can take out food to distribute to these orphans. Sometimes there will be a little food for a few days, so many starve to death, and those who survive know that they have to fight for it.

However, this time the situation was a bit beyond their expectations.

Because more than a few pieces of white cakes fell into the bowl, when the white cakes were robbed, a few more pieces were thrown in immediately, and then they were snatched away by other children.

Until everyone got two large enough white cakes, the people who gave them the food stopped throwing them.

With enough food to eat, these children finally settled down. They were no longer as chaotic as they were when they were fighting. While each eating white cakes, they also quietly observed the people who gave them food.

What makes them a little puzzled is that Feng Ye has no pockets on her body, just wearing a relatively simple and loose kimono, stepping on the wooden clogs, and can't see where the white cakes were hidden before, as if they were changed out of thin air. .

But doubts turned to doubts, no one asked anything, because those were not important, and the food in their hands was the most important, allowing them to continue to live.

”Thanks, thank you...”

The girl who looked very slender but very flexible, who was the first to grab the food, ate some food hard, and whispered to Feng Ye.

Feng Ye did not respond, but stood there quietly, waiting for everyone to eat almost, then calmly said: ”I have a test here. Those who can pass the test will be accepted as a disciple every day. Those who can have something to eat and want to try, just follow me.”

Finish this sentence.

Feng Ye turned around and left.

The children in the corner looked at each other for a while. Although some of them didn't understand what it meant to be a disciple, they still understood the saying that they can eat every day.

After a brief hesitation, someone soon stood up and followed Feng Ye, followed by the second and the third...

that's it.

Feng Ye led a dozen beggars out of the town and came to the foot of the mountain next to the town.

”The content of the test is very simple. Whoever can climb to the top of the mountain will pass.”

”I will wait for you at the top of the mountain.”

After leaving such a sentence, Feng Ye walked into the mountain and disappeared among the woods.

The children who followed looked at the forest in front of them. After a short pause, someone showed eager gaze and quickly walked into the forest, and others followed one after another.

”It won't be that easy...”
