While everyone was focusing on the mine, Lin Kunlun quietly rode the horse that Shunying had given him and quietly returned to the village. He was thinking about the villages along the way, so he decided to visit them. Along the way, he witnessed the ravages of the drought with his own eyes. The deep suffering was like a huge rock pressing on his heart, making him almost breathless.

He walked through one village after another, and saw that the villagers were pale and thin, like the walking dead. Their eyes were empty and desperate, as if they had lost all hope in life. And the village heads and tax collectors were like wolves and tigers, and they took away the villagers' last bit of life-saving food.

Lin Kunlun was filled with indescribable anger and grief. He saw villagers fighting over some wild vegetables. Those usually friendly neighbors had become so cruel and ruthless. He even saw that white kaolin clay had been piled up in front of several houses. It was Guanyin clay. The villagers had nowhere else to go and could only eat this clay to fill their stomachs.

Several children were holding earth cakes in their hands, chewing them expressionlessly. Lin Kunlun recognized this kind of earth cake. He knew that although it could temporarily relieve hunger, it was extremely difficult to digest in the stomach and intestines, causing great harm to the body.

However, he did not stop it. Because he had seen a more shocking scene - someone was openly selling children on the edge of the big market. Those children were starving and pale, with fear and helplessness in their eyes. Their parents had to sell them as commodities in order to survive.

Lin Kunlun's heart was filled with pain and anger. He knew that the world had become so cruel, and from this he could imagine what life was like for the people of the Dakun Dynasty.

"Sir! Please help me take this child in! Just give her something to eat, no money is needed!" Lin Kunlun appeared on horseback, and soon attracted the attention of many people. You know, nowadays, people who can afford to raise horses are definitely not simple. At this time, a villager ran over and grabbed Lin Kunlun's horse and begged.

"Master! You are a good man, please accept my child! Look, this child is so pitiful..." Another man also knelt down and said, pulling the corner of his clothes.

Lin Kunlun looked down at them and found that the two children's faces were dirty and dirty. At this time, the two children were skinny and the skin on their cheeks was cracked, revealing the white bones. These two people were obviously starving.

But more and more people gathered here!

"Get out of the way, I don't have anything to eat!" Lin Kunlun saw the pitiful look of the child, and felt sorry for him, but for the sake of safety, he decided to refuse this matter. After all, in this situation, if he took out food, he might not be able to leave. Especially when he saw those people walking this way, he was afraid that they would steal his horse and kill it for food. He must not be soft-hearted at this time.

"Master, please be kind! We are running out of food! In a few days, we will all die! Please help me! I beg you! As long as you can bring my boy to give him something to eat, and let him serve you like a slave..." At this time, a woman cried and knelt on the ground, hugged Lin Kunlun's trouser legs and wailed, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked miserable. The little boy of five or six years old beside her also knelt beside her and cried and begged.

Looking at this scene, Lin Kunlun couldn't help but sigh. He knew that if this continued, the child would definitely not survive. He might even become food for others. People can do anything when they are hungry. He had seen that many people were looking at this side with shining eyes. But there were too many children. He couldn't save them all.

Lin Kunlun kicked the horse's belly cruelly. The horse was frightened and ran away. The woman was shocked and let go of her hand. Lin Kunlun didn't care about the child and just rode away.

However, among the crowd, two strong men in black suddenly chased after him. They were very fast and caught up with Lin Kunlun in a few breaths. Without saying a word, the two men took out daggers from Lin Kunlun's back and threw them at him. These two men obviously had planned to rob Lin Kunlun. They were very fast and threw the daggers fiercely. Lin Kunlun suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his back. He felt a heavy object hit his back. But he couldn't stop to check at this time, so he had to ride his horse and continue to move forward. There was a heart-wrenching pain in his back.

Fortunately, Lin Kunlun did not stay there for long, otherwise he would have been trapped by these people and would not have been able to escape.

"Damn it! This guy must be a big fish! That horse alone is enough for our brothers to eat for a while!" The two men said dejectedly when they saw that they couldn't catch up.

"I'm afraid he won't be able to recover. I just clearly saw my flying knife pierce his back!" said another man confidently.

"You mean he's about to fall down!" The other person's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"That's for sure. With a flying knife stuck in his back, who can escape? We'll go up there. I think that kid has a lot of good stuff in his package!"

The man said excitedly.

"Hahaha! I've been hungry for a long time too. Let's go and grab the robbing!" The two men smiled at each other, then separated and chased after Lin Kunlun.

Lin Kunlun was extremely anxious. He had already ridden to the foot of the mountain and stopped in a forest. He also had to check if he was injured. You have to know that in this era, if you get injured and get inflamed, you are in danger of death.

He touched his back with his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. His clothes were indeed cut, but he didn't feel any blood.

"What happened? I clearly felt something hit my back! How come nothing happened!" Lin Kunlun checked and found that he was not injured. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He soon found out the reason. It turned out that the soft armor he got from the space of the fairy jade gourd saved him. He reached out and touched it, and he really touched the soft armor! There seemed to be no traces on the soft armor.

"There really are good things in the Immortal Jade Gourd! It seems that I need to expand the space as soon as possible to see what other treasures are stored inside!" Lin Kunlun thought excitedly. He leaned against a tree to rest for a while and prepared to leave.
