With that said, Feng Qi walked to the vendor and said to the vendor:

"Boss, three bunches of candied haws on a stick."

"Okay!" The boss immediately smiled and nodded, then skillfully removed three candied haws from the wooden pile and handed them to Feng Qi.

After scanning the QR code to pay, he turned around and handed the candied haws to Mu Qing and Lin Ran respectively.

Seeing the candied haws, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Mu Qing's eyes.

"It's been a long time since you've eaten?" he asked curiously.

"Well, the last time I ate it was when I was very young and I almost forgot the taste, but my memory tells me that this thing is very delicious. When I was a kid, I wanted to eat it every day."

Saying that, Mu Qing opened her mouth and took a small bite.

The sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth, and she subconsciously squinted her eyes, with a happy smile on her face.

When Lin Ran heard this, he immediately took a big bite, and then couldn't help but frown:

"Isn't this stuff delicious?"

"What you eat is memories, the taste is actually not important." Feng Qi explained with a smile and took a bite of the candied haws.

Keep walking forward.

The snacks in the hands of the three of them gradually increased, and soon they could no longer hold any more.

When they reached a less crowded section of the road, they stopped, sat on a stone bench by the roadside, and began to eat the snacks they bought along the way.

Looking past the smiling passerby, Mu Qing sat next to him and couldn't help but murmur:

"I really don't want to ruin Star City's current stable life."

Hearing these words, Feng Qi fell silent.

After the war is officially launched against Future City, the stability of Star City residents will also be broken. This is inevitable.

Mu Qing continued at this time:

"When I was very young, I envied the life of people in the city. I knew that everything was available in the city, but I was born as a scavenger. The city had been completely destroyed by the domain forces. Since I was a child, I had wandered around with my parents and relied on assistance from major cities to survive.

."

"Actually, compared to the previous generation, I am relatively happy. My grandfather was one of the first batch of scavengers when the city was destroyed by the domain forces. I once heard my grandfather talk about the tragic situation at that time."

"The creatures in the domain brutally massacred the residents in the city, and only a handful of people escaped. My grandfather's family was one of the people who escaped. At that time, the situation in major cities was not good, and there was no way to allocate resources to help us.

."

"Grandpa once told me that during the days when he was wandering around in search of resources, my great-grandfather was seriously ill and was in so much pain that he was unconscious. At that time, my great-grandfather was lying in the tent crying and said to my grandfather that if he couldn't support my father anymore, he would give me to him.

Put some medicine in dad’s food, and dad will definitely take it.”

"So we scavengers have known since childhood that stability is hard to come by, but we also understand that some things must be given up in order to gain real stability."

After hearing these words, Feng Qi and Lin Ran fell silent.

Scavengers have an innate hatred for domain forces, but from Mu Qing's words, they felt another kind of desolation unique to scavengers, and they also felt more deeply the scavengers' hatred for domain creatures.

This hatred lasts forever and is the spirit engraved in the bones of the scavengers.

Empathizing with each other and looking at the smiles on the faces of passers-by, Feng Qi and Lin Ran also felt the beauty of tranquility.

"Let's go, let's continue shopping." Feng Qi said at this time.

"Yeah." Mu Qing nodded immediately, started to devour the snacks after speaking, and then threw the remaining sticks and other garbage into the trash can next to the stone bench.

Next, the three of them continued walking from west to east.

While wandering around, they came to the Temple of Martial Arts.

"Brother Qi, let's go in and take a look. I hope the God of War will bless our journey smoothly."

"Okay." Feng Qi did not refuse and nodded immediately.

The Martial Arts Temple is dedicated to the Martial Saint Emperor and is one of the busiest areas of the temple fair.

Entering the Martial Arts Temple, the flow of people increased dramatically, and there were city residents everywhere holding incense and coming to worship.

The fact that the Wushen Temple has become one of the busiest areas for temple fairs has a lot to do with the background of this era.

The brutality of the front line is well known, and the annual casualty rate remains high.

Many of these soldiers who went to the front line were the children, fathers, mothers, elders, and other relatives of the city residents.

Residents who come to worship at the Wushen Temple hope that Emperor Wusheng can bless their relatives on the front line in safety, receive frequent good news, and even usher in a complete victory as soon as possible and reunite with their families.

Against the background of this era, the Wushen Temple entrusted the residents of the city with their spiritual sustenance for their relatives on the front lines, and naturally became one of the most popular areas for temple fairs.

As tourists go deeper into the Wushen Temple, the sounds of vendors selling incense and incense can be heard one after another on both sides.

Finally, they crossed over the most crowded area and came to the statue of Emperor Wu Sheng.

There are no complicated steps in worshiping.

Feng Qi and the other three people faced the statue of Wu Sheng Emperor and bowed with sincerity.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Ran noticed the lottery tube on the side and suddenly became more playful:

"Brother Qi, let's draw lots before we go."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi turned to look at the lottery tube aside, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Then let's draw a lottery and see what the fate of our battle line will be next."

When he came to the lottery tube, Lin Ran took the lead in signing the lottery. He reached out and picked up the thick lottery tube and began to shake it. He also started chanting in a very immersive way.

Finally, a bamboo stick fell from the tube.

Lin Ran immediately put down the bamboo stick and picked up the bamboo sticks on the ground.

I saw a line of official script engraved on the bamboo stick:

Ji Jia Shang Ji: Work hard, work hard, work hard, and you will reap your own rewards.

Seeing this line of words, Lin Ran suddenly smiled and threw the lottery in his hand into the tube.

When Mu Qing saw this, ripples appeared in her beautiful eyes, and then she took two steps forward and picked up the lottery tube.

"I'll try."

Saying that, Mu Qing imitated Lin Ran and started shaking the lottery tube.

After a while, a bamboo stick fell from the tube.

Similar to Lin Ran, Mu Qing also received exactly the same hexagrams, all of which were auspicious.

Seeing this scene, Feng Qi laughed in his heart.

He now seriously suspected that the lottery tubes contained similar fortune-tellings, and the purpose was to make tourists who came to seek fortune happy.

"Brother Qi, it's your turn."

Feng Qi never believed in these things, but he did not reject them either.

He took two steps forward and picked up the straw. After shaking it for a few times, the straw fell from the barrel.

When I picked it up and took a look, I saw a line of words engraved on the bamboo stick, which read "big evil".

After a brief silence, Feng Qi reached out and threw the hexagram with "great luck" written on it into the lotus tube. Then he fiddled with it a few times, found and pulled out the hexagram with "great luck" inscribed in the lotus tube, and held it in his hand.

Mu Qing:......

Lin Ran:......

"My destiny is in my own hands. The divination of this battle line is good, good luck!"

Looking at Feng Qi with a smile on his face, Lin Ran immediately gave a thumbs up:
Chapter completed!
