Chapter 355: Chapter 355: People Have Many Choices

Bai Junjun’s decision to keep the Fool behind was not without her own considerations.

Although they had turned from the ruddy men into soldiers, they were still at the front lines, and in the event of battle, both the Firehead Army and logistical support would be expected to join the fight.

Others might be fine, at least knowing how to protect themselves, but what could the Fool do on the battlefield other than get himself killed?

He might even become a weakness for Lame Man Uncle and the others.

Furthermore, Lame Man Uncle’s arrangement for the Fool to assist them with carrying baskets likely had an underlying request.

Indeed it was so, but ultimately Lame Man Uncle was too embarrassed to voice this outright.

After all, how could he brazenly ask them to take the Fool along simply because Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were exceptionally capable?

So he left the decision to Bai Junjun; if she was willing, they would keep the Fool; if not, if the Fool simply returned the way he had come, they would still take him back.

At that moment, Lame Man Uncle on the main road waited and waited, but the three kids of similar age who had run into the village did not come back out again.

Without a word, he knew their choice.

One-Armed Uncle’s eyes were somewhat moist, "Having spent these days together, it’s truly hard to part with them."

"They surely will take good care of the Fool," One-Eyed Uncle also remarked sentimentally.

"No matter what, it’s the Fool’s fate; this is as much as we can do for him."

After Lame Man Uncle finished reflecting, he turned back to his companions from Death Valley and said, "Let’s set out!"

"Alright!"

The group of the old, weak, sick, and disabled took note of those who quietly fell behind but pretended not to notice.

The people exerted themselves to push the carts, and those who were spare quietly filled the gaps left by Bai Junjun and the other two.

They continued in silence towards the unknown ahead.

Moving farther and farther away

...

After staying in the cowshed for a while and ensuring no other troops were passing outside, Bai Junjun stood up.

She quickly took off the soldier’s armor, revealing the Leviathan Skin underneath that was smeared with greyish white.

As soon as she took off the metal helmet, the unisex Leviathan Skin and her cold, clear features made her look like a beautiful, young nobleman.

Bai Junjun asked Li Wenli to stay and guard the little ones while she went out to forage.

Dog barks erupted everywhere at that time, and in some houses, the rustling of clothes and conversations could already be heard.

Bai Junjun walked briskly to a house that seemed rather affluent, quietly took a set of men’s clothing, and then slipped away.

The clothes were mainly for the Fool, for Xiao Yu and the others all had their own clothes, and only the Fool was left without anything apart from his armor.

His tattered clothes had already been discarded when they were issued soldier uniforms.

Having stolen the clothes, Bai Junjun felt somewhat guilty, and in the end, she could only grab a handful of Salt, which she rolled up in a leaf and left in the courtyard of that household.

Then she hurried back to their hiding place.

When the sun came up, six outlanders appeared on the village path: two young men on the cusp of adulthood, a maiden of around thirteen, and three little boys.

In ancient times, unlike today where there are highways everywhere, they had to walk wherever they saw a road, stopping occasionally to rest.

After all, the Earth is round, and as long as there is a road, one can always reach their destination.

Unlike the Northern Lands, aside from the battlefields, normalcy had essentially been restored in the Eastern Land.

After all, life must go on for those who need to live it.

However, this peace was disrupted as Biluo began to accept refugees.

These outlanders were causing great suffering for the local common folk.

There was no helping it; fleeing famine had extinguished their humanity, and looting possessions, exchanging children to eat—such things had become common. Returning to normalcy, they continued to cling to their bad habits.

Many ordinary people of the Eastern Land had been robbed by them.
