To be honest, after living for thirty years, it was my first time tasting this sweet porridge with sugar in Zhao Family Village.
Gao Shun nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, it's my first time too."
But speaking of which, do you know why they put sugar in the porridge here?
Famine smiled, "You asked at just the right moment. I've been in Zhao Family Village for two days and have gathered quite a few secrets."
"What news do you have?" Gao Shun asked eagerly.
Hehe.
Famine didn't answer immediately; instead, he looked intently at Gao Shun.
Understanding the cue, Gao Shun took out a large piece of Horse Jerky from his pocket and handed it to Famine.
Seeing the Horse Jerky, Famine's eyes lit up. "Is this horse meat? If you already have meat to eat, why come to Zhao Family Village for porridge?"
Gao Shun waved his hand dismissively. "Let's not talk about that for now; just tell me what you found out."
Famine eagerly accepted the Horse Jerky, a glint of cleverness in his eyes. "I heard someone in the village say that there seems to be a deity here."
Gao Shun continued to ask, "Have you seen this so-called deity?"
At this point, Famine was taken aback. "Don't you find that surprising?"
He said that whenever news of a deity in Zhao Family Village spread, everyone's expressions showed intense astonishment. Yet the young man before him appeared unfazed.
This struck Famine as very unusual; it was completely contrary to reason.
However, Gao Shun didn't care about that and countered, "Why should there be such a reaction?" After all, coming to Zhao Family Village was precisely to seek out deities.
The feeling of surprise had already been released once upon seeing Dian Wei's elixir.
So Famine smiled to ease the tension. "Oh, it's nothing; I was just overreacting." He added, "But I haven't seen that deity myself and can't confirm if what they say in the village is true or not."
Upon hearing this, Gao Shun felt a sinking sensation in his heart and said somewhat dejectedly, "Alright."
It seems that I still need to speak with the people of Zhao Family Village in person to unravel this mystery.
A figure approached, calling out, "Make way, everyone!"
In the distance, Gao Shun heard the shout and turned to see a young boy clad in shining Iron Armor, riding swiftly on a small black pig. He held a carrot like a whip, urging the pig forward with remarkable speed, covering several meters in an instant.
Who could that be?
Gao Shun was about to inquire about the previous Famine when he turned around and realized the person had vanished without a trace. How strange; where could he have gone?
However, Gao Shun didn’t dwell on it for long. After all, people can go wherever they please.
Watching Yun Yi ride off into the distance on his pig, Zhao An scratched his head. The Immortal Sir had a style of his own. Upon closer observation, he noticed that the small Black Pig was extraordinary—not only was it incredibly fast, but it also moved with remarkable stability.
Setting aside the fact that it was just a pig, one could say it was undoubtedly an excellent mount. A deity is indeed a deity; even when riding a pig, there was something exceptional about it.
At that moment, Zhao Yun approached with a rather unsavory-looking man and said, "Father, this person claims to have urgent matters to report."
The Lecherous Man bowed respectfully and asked, "May I inquire if you are the patriarch of the Zhao Family?"
Zhao An looked him up and down, nodding as he replied, "Indeed, I am Zhao An, the leader of the Zhao Clan. What brings you to me?"
The man immediately lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Zhao An, my name is Shi Bu An. I suspect that foreign enemies have sent spies to our Zhao Family Village to gather intelligence."
"Wait, your surname is also Zhao? In our Zhao Family Village?" Zhao An's cheek twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Spies?" Not long ago, Zhao Yun had just captured a vagrant posing as a civilian woman on-site, and now another informant had appeared. The situation in Zhao Family Village was becoming increasingly complex.
This was a challenge brought about by accepting refugees, but complaining would do no good. Moreover, it would cause that esteemed deity to look down upon them. Only by actively addressing these issues could they elevate their standing in the eyes of the gods.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao An asked, "Are you sure everything you said is true?"
Shi Bu An hurriedly nodded, thumping his chest and swearing earnestly, "I can assure you, there is absolutely no falsehood."
Zhao An nodded in acknowledgment. "Good. Now tell me, why do you suspect that person is a spy sent by the enemy?"
Shi Bu An then elaborated further: "I saw that young man looking spirited and guessed he was unusual, so I deliberately approached him to strike up a conversation. It was merely a test." He continued, "But I didn't expect that as soon as he made his move, he handed me a large piece of jerky."
When I mentioned that there might be deities residing in Zhao Family Village, his reaction was surprisingly calm, showing no hint of doubt. Instead, he eagerly inquired about the appearance of the deities.
