When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

There is a faint fragrance of grass in the air, and the sunlight is blocked by the thick thatched roof. The seemingly fragile grass fibers can give people a good sense of security.

At least the rainwater won't come in, it will just slide down the shiny branches.

Perhaps because the windows were not opened wide, the light in the thatched house was a little dark.

Li Shanren stepped on the clean floor, held Alice's little hand, and walked around the room.

He walked to the window and pushed it open, making the room a little brighter.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, with only a large wooden bed covered with thatch. On the wall above the bed is a bunch of unknown, slightly burned herbs, which may have been lit at night to repel insects.

There is also a furnace in the middle of the house with some charcoal left in it, which should be used for heating.

However, this method of burning charcoal for heating has great safety risks.

Li Shanren frowned slightly.

Outside the thatched house, a country couple stood cautiously at the door. Their skin was dark, their faces were covered with wrinkles and deep grooves, and they looked honest and courteous.

They were responsible for taking care of the children while Tifa was away, as well as providing three meals a day.

Having heard from the villagers that a strange magician had entered the village and went straight to the newly built thatched house at the end of the village, the couple immediately put down what they were doing and hurried over.

After checking the room, Li Shanren said nothing.

This place is obviously not as good as Mrs. Marley's hotel, but being in a remote village, I can't ask for too much. These huts are newly built, so they are already a good treatment.

Although Tifa must have paid a lot of money.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause trouble." Li Shanren walked out of the thatched house and looked at the villagers and couples in the store with a gentle smile. "My name is Lisern, and I am currently the guardian of these children."

When they heard the word "guardian", the villagers and the couple looked blank. They seemed to have never heard of such a formal term.

"You can understand that I am the one temporarily responsible for supporting them." Li Shanren explained.

"I...I understand. Are you here to take them away?" the husband asked nervously.

Taking care of these children has brought a lot of extra income to the couple. Now that winter is almost here, they don’t want to lose this income because they have insufficient food reserves for the winter.

"No, not for the time being." Li Shanren shook his head, "They still need to trouble you to take care of them for a while, and I will stay here for the next two days."

Although he wanted to take these children to Olin City to provide them with a more comfortable environment.

But for him, the current Olin City is not safe. In addition to those enemies with ill intentions, the cemetery ruins not far to the west of Olin City are also a threat.

I wonder if the Skeleton King in the ruins will attack Olin City.

After all, He doesn't look like the kind of person from the good and lawful camp. If one day he suddenly gets a sudden thought and launches a surprise attack, no one can guarantee whether Olin City can be defended.

Li Shanren didn't know what level Olin City's highest combat power was, but the Skeleton King's combat power must be ridiculously high.

He will not easily let his life depend on the protection of others.

In fact, after Li Shanren considered handling many matters in Olin City, he left for other cities and did not intend to stay here forever.

He needs a stable environment to grow quietly.

After hearing that Li Shanren would not take anyone away immediately, the farmer and his wife seemed much relieved.

Li Shanren gave the couple another dozen silver ruso for daily expenses, and then asked them to go back temporarily.

"Are you used to living here?"

After watching the couple leave, Li Shanren smoothed the silver-gray hair that rose up on top of Alice's head.

Alice hesitated and nodded, "Well, everyone is together now...except Amicia and Hugo."

At the end of the sentence, Alice looked a little disappointed.

Amicia and Hugo, the oldest and youngest children respectively, followed Eivor to the south.

"They'll be fine."

Li Shanren sensed the two consciousnesses located very far away, gently patted Alice's little head, and comforted her.

Despite the distance, he could sense that the two children were still in good health, and one of them was even quite energetic.

This may mean that Eivor is taking good care of them.

"Yeah." Alice nodded trustingly.

Li Shanren smiled, with some helplessness in his eyes.

If he hadn't had something to do in Orin City, he might have set off south to find Eivor.

Thinking of this, he looked at the wooden fence of the yard.

Tifa was standing there alone, staring at the thatched cottage with a few wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen, and the autumn wind slightly lifted the ends of her hair.

She once grew up in a village like this, until a fire burned everything down.

Only she and five young children in the village were left.

Li Shanren thought for a while, turned his head slightly, and whispered to Alice: "You can find someone else to play with for a while, okay?"

Alice looked at Tifa not far away, then looked up at Li Shanren, then nodded and returned to the other children obediently.

Seeing Alice coming back, the children immediately gathered around and curiously asked her about things related to Li Shanren.

During this time of being dependent on each other, these children have gotten along very well.

Looking away from Alice, Li Shanren quietly walked to the wooden fence and stood beside Tifa.

Looking at the countryside scenery and organizing his words a little, he suddenly said:

"I still want to talk to you about Charles."

Hearing Li Shanren's voice, Tifa came back to her senses slightly and turned her head to look over, with a complicated expression on her face.

"Well... on the way here, I suddenly remembered something."

Before Tifa could speak, Li Shanren continued to talk to himself.

"You once told me that your hometown was destroyed by the invasion of the slave army, and only you and some children in the village were lucky to stay. I think with your character, you should not ignore them, but I never I saw those children in Farm City..."

Having said this, Li Shanren turned his head and stared into Tifa's red eyes, "You hid them."

Then he looked at Alice and the other children gathered together in the yard, "Like now, hiding in an unknown peaceful village until..."

Li Shanren didn't say any more because he saw the pain in Tifa's eyes and seemed not to want to recall what happened at that time.

He sighed slightly, "In short, those children are now controlled by Charles."

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why Charles could threaten Tifa with the five children he had.

No matter how kind and compassionate Tifa is, she cannot risk her life for five unknown children for no reason.

After all, there are too many children who have become slaves, and it is impossible for one person to take care of them alone.
