Children running around, women carrying farm tools, and men carrying ore on their backs, everything is so noisy yet harmonious.
Yu Jin took a look and saw a scene he had never seen before. This was caused by the bald-headed Washizu in front of him.
Dinner was prepared very early. As a small village and during such a special period, everyone liked to get together for dinner.
Chatting together not only helped me relieve my negative emotions, but also allowed me to forget about the war for a while.
The village of Feimu lacked everything except crystallized bone marrow. Wood was very precious and was mostly used to build the frames of sheds. Even for cooking, dead grass was often used as fuel.
So there was no bonfire party, but there were always more solutions than problems. People used the stamens of the misty flower as bait and caught many fireflies as light sources.
Fireflies in the wild have not been cultivated and screened by elemental forces, so they are naturally much less dangerous than those in the lanterns of the Thunder Warlock.
However, the lavender light made the ember look a little weird.
At this time, there was a plate in front of Washizu with some side dishes on it, a steamed bun in his hand, and a bowl of meat soup next to the plate.
This is a rare meaty food. Usually when there is prey, everyone likes to make soup. On the one hand, Mrs. Dao has the habit of drinking soup, and on the other hand, stewing soup can make everyone want to eat meat.
"Don't you want to eat? Even though it's a war, the two sides have just started fighting. We have prepared some food, so it doesn't matter if you have one more person."
When Washizu saw Yujin sitting under a tree with nothing in his hands, he thought he was afraid that he didn't have enough food, so he was embarrassed to eat with him.
Yu Jin shook his head and said, "Eat, I brought something."
As he said this, he took out something from his pocket and started chewing it. It was still tasteless like before.
When Washizu saw Yujin's look, he nodded. Adventurers always run around, so it's reasonable for them to carry food with them.
"Hey! What are your plans for tomorrow?" Yu Jin said, looking at the sky which was already darkening.
Washizu thought about it and replied, "Chop some wood in the morning and dig crystallized bone marrow in the afternoon."
Ember nodded. He could just go and have a look tomorrow.
……
Ember sat in the tree, watching the stars fill the sky and then dim again, and the rising sun break the dawn, announcing the arrival of a new day.
Early in the morning, Washizu and a group of men gathered at the village entrance to prepare for a new day's work.
Yu Jin looked around and wondered why it took so many men to go out and chop wood?
"Is the wood here so hard to cut?" Yu Jin asked curiously.
Everyone saw Yu Jin asking questions. Although he looked strange, considering that he was brought by the village chief, a man was still very enthusiastic to answer him.
"You don't know, it's very difficult to cut! We are close to the narrow space of the Wuxiang Blade, either nothing grows here, or the things that grow are extremely tough."
Then another person added: "There are few trees around us, and we have to go far to cut them down. Now that we are at war, it is better for a group of men to go out rather than a group of women."
Yu Jin looked at the slightly crude watchtower not far away, then looked at the bamboo tubes in the women's hands and nodded. It seemed that Washizu was well prepared.
"Okay! Let's go!" Yu Jin roared and ran directly in front of everyone.
Although the area around Hida Village is somewhat barren, there is still life that can break through the environment and grow against the wind.
For example, the waist-high tree in front of me, the embers cut into it and it got stuck with a "click".
"Tsk!" Yu Jin sighed, then increased his strength and cut it off.
"Boom!" The big tree fell to the ground, leaving only a stump with a smooth cross-section.
The people following behind Yu Jin couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the scene in front of them. You know, the hardness of the trees tempered by the lightning element is comparable to that of steel!
They were really surprised that Yu Jin cut it off so easily.
But that's how it is. In Teyvat, a place with extraordinary powers, cutting through steel is not easy, but it is not impossible.
For example, Washizu can also do it, but it's not as easy as Ember.
But they soon found out that they were wrong, because the embers turned into a shadow and the trees in front of them collapsed rapidly.
In the open space not far away, logs that had been processed by the embers continued to pile up.
Soon, a pile of logs were neatly placed in front of everyone.
“Is that enough?” asked Ember, poking his head out from behind the woodpile.
"Enough... enough, more than enough!" Washizu nodded. He didn't expect the embers to be so powerful. With so much wood, if used sparingly, it could probably last a year.
"That's good!" Yu Jin's head retracted again, and then he saw the logs like small hills slowly leaving the ground - Yu Jin lifted them up!
The logs were not tied up, but they did not fall apart. However, the crowd was no longer in the mood to care about these things, because their heads were already buzzing from the embers.
"Go back!" Yu Jin shouted!
Then "Mushan" quickly ran towards the direction of Himuki Village, and Yujin seemed to think that was not enough.
Then Washizu and the others saw several such "wood mountains" piled up outside the Himuki Village.
When they returned to Feimu Village, they only saw the village grounds filled with wood. They did not exclaim in amazement because they had been so surprised that their voices had become hoarse from shouting in the morning.
"When are we going to dig out the crystallized bone marrow?" Yu Jin, still feeling unsatisfied, asked Jiu Jin, who seemed a little dazed.
When Washizu heard what Yujin said, he shuddered suddenly and said hurriedly: "We don't need your help, we can do it ourselves."
"Why?" Yu Jin asked in confusion. He was a little confused.
"Because crystallized bone marrow is a strategic material, we in Himuki Village secretly dig up some of the residues. If there are too many, it will be very troublesome." Washizu explained.
Yayun Island is rich in crystallized bone marrow, but the large mines are all controlled by the rebels and the shogunate. The Himuki Village can only find some scattered fragments from abandoned mines and open fields to exchange for food with the pirates.
"And our village is in a great location, close to the Wuxiang Blade Space. It's remote, the land is barren, and the strategic value is almost zero. Neither the rebels nor the shogunate army have any intention of looking for us."
"????"
"Don't look at me like that. Although we have a lot of shortcomings here, it is precisely because of this that the Himuki Village can be close to the battlefield and yet have peace."
Washizu saw Yujin's look and explained hastily.
Yu Jin understood what Washizu said. Himiki Village was a rotten place, so rotten that neither the rebels nor the shogunate army wanted to care about it.
"So, if you get a lot of crystallized bone marrow, we'll be in trouble," Washizu said finally.
Then Yu Jian looked at the wood on the ground and said, "I think this wood is pretty good. Its strength is almost as good as steel. There are so many of them. Is everything okay?"
Washizu scratched his head and said, "It's okay. No matter how strong they are, they are not as good as real steel, and they have many shortcomings."
"What shortcomings?" asked Yu Jin. He didn't feel any shortcomings anyway.
"For example, it's difficult to process, it can electrocute people, and so on." As he said this, Washizu touched the wood on the ground, and a small arc of electricity directly shocked his hand back.
"Hiss, what a rotten wood! Electricity still hurts so much."
Yu Jin looked at Washizu who was covering his hands, and was silent for a long time, then asked:
"Does your Himiki Village have any merits?"
"Is my kindness considered an advantage?"
"..."

"Hey! Yujin, if you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to my place!" It was another new day, and Washizu shouted loudly as he watched Yujin getting farther and farther away.
Although Yu Jin was here for a short time, he helped Hida Village a lot.
"Oh! Don't dig up the tree I planted. I will come back to see it later." Yu Jin heard the call behind him and replied.
After hearing what Yujin said, Washizu looked towards a newly-turned piece of land in the center of the village, where a young green sprout had already emerged from the soil.
In addition to the green color of the new green shoots, what is even more eye-catching is that the stems also exude a faint golden and red color, which looks very charming.
The embers from last night had been fiddling with the land all night, and finally when he left, a new sprout appeared here.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being an adventurer, as he always has some unexpected and rare things on him.
If this tree grows beautifully, maybe after the war is over, we can use it as a gimmick to develop tourism?
Just as Washizu was imagining the good times in the future, the embers had disappeared.
At this time, he had already run to Nashihara Beach again.
On the Mingzhui Beach, broken flags and broken weapons were thrown away at random. Only the faint smell of blood in the air reminded everyone of the war that had taken place on this land.
In this regard, Yu Jin could only sigh. He was still a stowaway and was probably still on the wanted list.
Yu Jin thought about it and decided that this wasn't a good idea, as people would hunt him wherever he went.
So Yu Jin took off his knight armor for the first time in a long time and put on a set of Eastern warrior armor.
He took a look, and although it was still strange, it finally matched Inazuma's atmosphere.
And at this time, Yu Jin was wearing a wooden mask on his face. Although it was made of wood, it looked real.
Old Man Mask - A wooden mask made in the image of a grinning old man, the origin of the nickname of the Great Swordsman of the Land of Reeds.
When you hone your mind to the limit, you will see boring things. After discarding those things, the "old man" is born - the sword and yourself, both of which are perfect.
From then on, the "old man" turned into a Shura.
Shura is a person who kills for the sake of killing.
Unfortunately, the old man met the embers. The martial arts created with the corpses of countless people were ultimately no match for the skills of killing through the world with death.
The old man was also a major source of Yu Jin's impression of the stubbornness of the Eastern Warriors. It was incomprehensible to him that someone could live in a state of killing people with his eyes open or closed.
Although he is similar, Yu Jin is passive and forced. Undead people are not welcome anywhere, and they will bite even dogs.
Yu Jin put on the skin of an old man and started wandering around.
Yabin Island and Kamnuzuka are the front lines of the confrontation between the resistance army and the shogunate, and there are very few civilians traveling between them.
Before he knew it, Yujin was in a valley in the distance and saw large areas of tents and densely packed watchtowers - it was the headquarters of the shogunate army, Kujo Jinya.
Yu Jin thought about the current situation and realized that if he rushed in rashly, he would probably not get any good results.
So, it becomes invisible!
You think I'm a samurai? Actually I'm a ninja!
