Author: Sword of Fire

Hundreds of villagers were watching the gate. They did not stop Mu Xiaoxiao from slapping the door, and even looked forward to the gate opening again.

Unfortunately, whether it was Mu Xiaoxiao, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan, or Mayen, the door never opened.

"Master Guardian…maybe."

"The Guardian may be in dormant."

"well."

"Our children are still inside, and I don't know the Guardian..."

Chen Ji heard the villagers' discussions.

According to what he learned before, the Guardian controlled the altar and refused to exchange the crystals for food and supplies, making the crystals in the villagers' hands useless.

In addition, the Guardian also brought newborn babies in the village and some ungrown children into the altar and refused to answer all questions.

Now that Chen Ji came to the village, the guardian did not show up, proving that he was likely to fall into a deep sleep.

"Let's do this for now, and don't bother him."

Chen Ji gave up his exploration of the altar and made Mu Xiaoxiao feel at ease.

He turned to look into the village.

The villagers' houses were built around the altar, and they were only one floor high. The materials should be the same, similar to metal, but the colors were colorful, which slightly added a festive and lively atmosphere to the monotonous, empty and desolate village.

"Mr. Chen Ji gave us food again!"

Village chief Ogar smiled and announced to the villagers.

The joy of food dispersed the altar, and everyone spontaneously surrounded him, thanking Chen Ji and others for their help.

"Nothing, you can eat it."

Chen Ji smiled at them, "The earth I live in is a material-rich world. I can't guarantee anything else, but it's okay to let everyone have enough food."

There are only a hundred people in the village, so they are more than enough to eat, and they will not bring too much earth's supplies to this world.

"Eat enough?"

The villagers, including Ogar, looked at each other in confusion.

"Mr. Chen Ji, what do you mean by eating fullness? What is fullness?"

Cassin couldn't help asking.

"Eat enough, you will be full and don't feel hungry..."

Chen Ji touched his stomach and looked at Zhou Wan and Mu Xiaoxiao with shocked eyes.

None of these people have eaten enough?

Could it be that Mayan’s translation was wrong?

Chen Ji looked at her, and the girl shook her head.

Forget it, since he has come to this world, let them have enough food today!

Chen Ji sent a message to the group.

"Those villagers don't even know that they're full? So pitiful."

Xia Shumin, who is busy with decoration in Greentown Peony, has noticed this matter, "Young Master, do you want Shumin to do something?"

"I'll do it."

Xiao Zhouwan said: "I'm not busy yet. I'll go to the market to buy some rice, flour, grain, oil and gas stoves for making fire to send them."

"God, Astana can help, there are still plenty of rice and wheat in the city."

The saint of the gods also saw it.

Chen Ji asked Xiao Zhou Wan to help him and bought a thousand kilograms of rice, noodles, and some meat and vegetables.

Let’s talk about other things later. Let Cassian and the others have a full meal today!

"Mr. Chen Ji... Thank you so much!"

When Ogar heard so much food, he was so excited that he was incoherent that the villagers were so. They would not kowtow or other etiquette, but the thanks were all from the heart.

"Where was the place where you dug crystals before?"

Chen Ji asked the villagers.

"Mr. Chen Ji, right there."

Under the leadership of the villagers, Chen Ji and his friends came to the "mine".

Finally something different:

Some blocky rocks appeared by the river, with obvious signs of knocking and excavation on it, and some mining tools remained here.

"You guys dig crystals here before?"

Chen Ji walked forward in the mine, Zhou Wan followed him with a kerosene lamp, Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a hoe-shaped tool and tried to knock on the rocks. After coming to this world, she discovered for the first time that the stones were so rare.

Dangdangdang.

The sound of the empress waving her hoe to hit the rocks spreading in the darkness.

"Yes, Lord Chen Ji."

Listening to the familiar voice, Santos sighed: "We were digging crystals here before... There was no other place except here, we went to find them."

"The only place to produce crystal stones?" Zhou Wan asked again.

Because this incident reveals a strong strangeness.

There are no other places in the village, only here.

Not only that, there is not even a rock in other places, and not only there are rocks, but also crystals containing energy.

This is strange no matter how you look at it!

"Yes, the only place with crystals!"

The villagers answered affirmatively.

The only place...

Walking in the mine, Chen Ji thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, and he couldn't even guess it.

Only Astana in the group provided an explanation of "glorious gift", and no one else could guess why.

Mayan, who was following behind, squatted down and picked up a stone.

Chen Ji noticed it, and squatted down and picked up a stone, looked at it, and asked, "Mayen, do you know anything?"

Zhou Wan and the others also came over.

"Master, here was formed one hundred and twenty years ago."

In Mayan's hands, the stone gradually weathered and turned into something like the gray and black sand and dust seen elsewhere.

Sand and dust slid from her white fingertips, like sand in a time hourglass.

She said: "A force has affected this place and transformed the black soil into crystal stones."

Mayen's words gave Chen Ji a lot of ideas.

Zhou Wan also thought: "Mayen, what do you mean is that because of the influence of that power, the crystal appears in the riverbed, so that the guardians in the altar can come out and thus the village will slowly form?"

The first batch of villagers including Ogar came from the altar.

When it comes to the meaning of the word Guardian and the fact that Guardian takes away the child, the answer is about to come out.

Several villagers opened their mouths and wanted to speak but stopped.

Cassian was excited to hold his fists: "Mr. Chen Ji, what is that power? Can it appear again... Lord Guardian may have returned to the altar because he had dug the crystal. If there were enough crystals..."

No, maybe, it should be!

"It's hard to say now. As for that power, I don't know."

Chen Ji stood up and clapped his hands, "Let's go, the mine has finished watching, let's go back."

The mine is not big, and some places are dug deep by villagers, but there is only sand and soil underneath. The crystals and rocks are only in the riverbed, which is pitifully few.

But it is these pitifully few crystals that support the existence of the village.

...

Unfortunately, the Guardian still does not open the door.

In an unprecedented lively dry rice atmosphere, the three pots of rice were quickly eaten, and each person ate at least three bowls.

Everyone is still unsatisfied.

Chen Ji asked them to cook two more pots and quickly finished it.

At this time, Chen Ji and others vaguely noticed the problem, but they were not sure about the seriousness of the problem.
