Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!

Golden Orchard Village is located in the south of the Golden Banner Empire and the north of the Holy Plain Highlands. It is a typical multi-ethnic mixed town, where some small orcs, elves, dwarves, and the largest number of humans live.Like other nearby multi-ethnic towns, there is life here every day.

Just after noon, people here don’t have the habit of taking a lunch break. At noon, they go to pick a kind of vegetable and fruit called “Golden Fruit”. In big cities, a gold fruit can be sold for a silver coin.

Every time the villagers in the Golden Orchard heard such rumors, they sighed in their hearts: "We finally planted it, and the golden fruit that sells for fifty coppers per catty is so rare outside!"

Some villagers also had the idea of ​​going to a big city to seek a living, but they quickly dispelled this idea: How can a big city be so easy to mess with?The caravans that come and go have told them that the more glamorous and beautiful the place where the rich live, the more they can eat people. Poor people like them may only be beggars in big cities. Any big shot will be beaten to death.

Therefore, the villagers of Golden Orchard Village live the same life day after day. Humans, little orcs, elves, and dwarves are not used to each other and are dependent on each other. They are used to living this kind of life by nature.

It's good to get used to it.

It was extremely hot at noon, and the villagers of Jinguoyuan Village climbed up and down to pick golden fruits on the fruit trees. This kind of tree grows extremely high, which is very different from ordinary fruit trees. It has high requirements for nutrition, sunlight and water. A place as big as a football field can only plant two or three golden fruit trees, but each one can grow to a height of more than ten meters, bloom all year round, and bear fruit after blooming.

Some ordinary fruit trees can also be planted under the golden fruit trees. They cannot be planted densely like other orchards, but only sparsely. Don't teach them to steal the nutrition of the golden fruit.

While the villagers were sweating profusely at their work, they also talked about the fact that the village chief announced a reward for the griffin in the southwest a month ago in the city. Three months ago, their village was attacked by a griffin and died. There are a few people, but the minimum bounty for a beast of the level like a Griffin beast is five gold coins... It is estimated that no one will accept this price. Feeling apprehensive, he went into the city to find a tavern and released the mission.

Regardless of whether he has someone to take the task, let's just buy peace of mind.

They worked on the trees, tied their waists with thick hemp ropes, and hung them from the thick branches. Their children also played below. The children, both male and female, were practicing climbing trees. means of earning a living.

"You have to learn it when you are young." The oldest man present was an old man with gray hair: "If you can't learn it when you are young, it will be difficult when you grow up."

His wife was lower than him and was also picking fruit. The women in the Golden Orchard worked no differently from men.She was also very old, a demi-elf, probably a mix of wood elves and humans from the color of her hair, and now her hands were as rough and ugly as wood.After being mixed for an unknown number of generations, the so-called sub-elves don't live much longer than humans.

A few adventurers passed by on the side path, and they were much fairer. It seemed that their adventures in the wild did not make them suffer.

This might be the knight master who came out to play.Workers thought.

"Yes," said the old but still working woman, "if only George would have known our troubles sooner."

Their son, little George, was climbing and playing on the fruit trees below.When the boy was more than ten years old, he was full of strength. He climbed to the top of the tree, and he climbed very fast, but the thrilling movements were more like showing off than studying. There were several boys and children under the tree The child looked up at him, watching George Jr. flap his winged arms toward the sun like a proud bird.

His mother sighed, wishing that the youngest son could be as steady as his elder brothers and sisters, but Little George seemed to be tripped by something, and he fell on his back: "Ah——!!!"

Everyone watched with wide-eyed eyes. The children were petrified, and the adults on the tree hurriedly climbed down, but they couldn't keep up with the speed at which Little George fell.The fruit tree is short, and it is only noticeable when compared with the golden fruit tree. In fact, the position where little George climbed is already two or three meters high.

Every year, there are villagers in Jinguoyuan Village who fall from trees, break their legs or even fall to their deaths.

Of course, there are also children. The naughty child fell from the tree and broke his leg. In Jinguoyuan Village, this is a short story that parents use to scare children.

Little George's mother screamed: "NO!!!"

Wood elves have the ability to control plants, but sub-elves, who are very mixed, do not have this kind of magic.

Seeing that little George was about to hit the ground heavily, some villagers subconsciously held their breath, and little George's old father threw the rope down in vain, as if his son could hold it.

What happened in an instant was so fast and slow that people's eyes couldn't keep up with it. However, a figure, a figure passing by the side of the path, rushed to Little George like lightning and caught the child.

He gently put little George on the ground. The boy remained motionless, as if he was also petrified, and it took him a while to cry out.

The villagers from the nearby trees just climbed down. Little George's mother was still caught by the hemp rope. His father ran over and cried while hugging Little George. The old man's gray temples were drenched with cold sweat.

While crying and patting his son, he was about to kneel and kowtow to the kind-hearted person who saved little George.

Xu Jun once again became a "hero". Although he only saved a child this time, he received a lot of thanks. The villagers surrounded him. After such a big shock, these people didn't want to continue working to pick the fruit—— People here believe that bad luck will not come only once. If one person falls, it is a warning from the god of bad luck, telling them not to climb trees today.

After all, little George is young, but he recovered the fastest. The child will be able to run and dance soon, as if what happened before was just a dream.

"I'm fine, Mom," he said, grabbing the hand that held his mother toward him.

"Good Sir Knight," George Jr.'s father, Old George, murmured, and said cautiously, "We have no money... Please accept the golden fruit we just picked."

As usual, Xu Jun comforted the old man, telling him that he didn't need Qian Jinguo as a thank you gift.The old man seemed much more at ease, and he put little George on his back to thank Xu Jun. The boy secretly raised his head and squinted at Xu Jun, looking very dissatisfied.

When Xu Jun said "I don't want money", the boy snorted coldly, and his father hurriedly pressed his head even lower.

Oh, except for a sophomore boy, Xu Jun smiled, feeling a little itchy in his hands.

He seems to have committed the disease of wanting to beat a bear child_(:зゝ∠)_

The dragon boy Lance, the unicorn boy Jess, and Mantou are still waiting for Xu Jun, but Mantou doesn't feel much. To him, it would be strange if Xu Jun didn't go to save a child when he saw a child falling down. After all, he The owner is so kind~(≧▽≦)/~

Jess and Lance have never seen such a human being. Lance has never seen such a human being, but he has also heard from the old dragon in the clan that the human race is inherently selfish. Yes, he thought at that time, his father must not be such a person!His dad would surely be a better man than all the frost wyrms combined!

——If the patriarch of the Frost Dragon Clan knew that Lance thought so, he would probably be able to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Mommy's elbow turning outward is not so outward! ! !

Now seeing Xu Jun going to rescue a child he had never met, Lance was even more proud: Look, his father is such a human being with high moral character!

When he returns to the territory of the Frost Dragon, he must show it off!

Of course, Jess is different from Lance. He has seen a lot and knows the human race very well. There are many people like Xu Jun who are willing to do good things for free, but... Jess raised his voice and said: " Xu Jun, aren't you a brave man?"

"I remember that if a brave man helps others, he can ask for a bonus, right?"

One second Xu Jun was appeasing the group of villagers who asked for money but not gold fruits, and the next second he watched the villagers scatter away. Only Little George's parents were still here. The few children who didn't want to leave were caught Their parents pulled them away, "What are you doing here? Are you rich?"

Little George's elderly parents lowered their heads, as if they were about to shrink into the cracks in the ground: "...we... Jinguo..."

Xu Jun smiled wryly: "No need, forget it, I'd better go."

He shook his head at the unicorn boy Jess: "You really shouldn't have said that."

"These are ordinary villagers. They probably won't be able to take out a single gold coin. Why are you scaring them?"

The unicorn man Jess had a half-smile: "So you are doing good deeds for free? Why?"

They chatted while walking leisurely towards the village.After these two days of getting along, a few people... Well, except for Xu Jun, the others are not human—it can be considered familiar, especially Xu Jun and the unicorn male Jess, who can be regarded as calm now say.Xu Jun felt that this unicorn man was really not worthy of his identity. In this world, unicorns and even unicorn people should be set up as holy, cold and ascetic. As a result, this man named Jess didn't know The old monster who has lived for many years is very frivolous. If Xu Jun hadn't seen his animal form, I really wouldn't believe that he would be a unicorn.

"It's not considered doing good deeds for free. They didn't ask me to save people."

He played it lightly and exposed the matter.

Two days ago, he had a discussion with this unicorn man on this kind of topic, but he was almost not bored to death by this guy. Xu Jun really didn't want to talk nonsense with him.

If you have this time, isn't it good to see the scenery of the surrounding villages?
