In the main continent, there is a very famous plant called Mansi Four-color Flower.
This plant resembles the most common weed in the wilderness, but it can accurately indicate whether spring is coming and what stage of spring it has reached.
It sprouts in early spring. It emerges from the depths of the soil and blooms with pale yellow flowers, telling people that winter is over and spring is coming.
When the weather gets warmer and the temperature rises, the pale yellow flowers will wither, and then they will bloom into pink flowers, telling people that they can farm.
Later, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the rain increased. Under the nourishment of the sweet spring rain, the pink flowers disappeared like dreamy bubbles, and were replaced by bright red flowers. This is the best time for farming, and seeds planted at this stage will yield better harvests than seeds planted at other stages.
Finally, it will turn into a deep purple flower, as clear and translucent as crystal, extremely beautiful, like a delicate work of art. In this way, it tells farmers that farming has reached its final deadline. If they don't seize the time to sow seeds into the fertile land, they will have to wait until the next season to get food.
This is the four-color flower of Mansi. Because it is closely related to farming, people in many places call it the flower of agriculture.
Of course, in the eyes of some wizards, officials or businessmen who don't care about farming at all, the four-color flower of Mansi is just one of the many nameless flowers in the field. It has no use except for being beautiful.
…
Mainland of Mann.
Outside Tok City, many four-color Manse flowers in the fields have bloomed in their fourth color. The large swaths of purple are like spreading out a carpet, which is so beautiful.
In the city of Tok, there are so many people coming and going on the streets, like a crowded hive. Apart from the excitement and noise, there is no beauty at all.
Tok City is a transportation hub in the southern part of Mann's main continent. Although it has no special characteristics, because it is surrounded by many large cities rich in various resources, it happens to be in a central location, and its commerce is very developed.
At this time, most of the people on the street were businessmen from other places, walking and thinking about how to earn enough profits.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as the three women who just entered the city - to be precise, a mature woman with two young girls, this is not the case.
The mature woman walked in front, looking at the pedestrians on the street, her brows slightly furrowed, wondering what she was thinking. The two girls followed her, looking around curiously, pointing to certain places from time to time, communicating with each other, and inevitably shouting.
"Senior, senior, look, there's a beggar over there, he's so pitiful."
"Where, where, Heidi?"
"there."
"Oh, I saw it. He looks really pitiful. His face was swollen and his eyes were black. Someone must have bullied him. It's too much."
The woman walking in front couldn't help but stop, turned to look at the two girls behind her, and said with a slightly serious expression: "Nelide, and Heidi, what are you two yelling about? It’s been many days since we came to the main continent, is it time for you to get over your fresh energy?”
"No, teacher, we are not yelling." The shorter girl said weakly, pointing to one side, "We are just a little strange as to why that person is like this."
Looking in the direction the girl pointed, I saw a man who looked to be in his twenties, with tattered clothes and a shaky body. He looked like he hadn't eaten for many days, like a beggar who couldn't get food.
In addition, the entire face was swollen like a pig's head. The two eye sockets were black and shiny. It was obvious that he had received a lot of punches. The right arm was unnaturally twisted, as if it was broken. This is worse than the average beggar. After all, no matter how miserable a beggar is, he will never be like this.
Seeing the other party, the woman couldn't help but be stunned. Then she guessed the girl's thoughts and said: "Heidi, do you want to help him?"
"That..." the girl looked at the woman and whispered, "Teacher, he looks really pitiful. Although we don't have a lot of money, it's okay to give him a silver coin, right? In this case, he can always eat a lot. A full meal will save you from starvation."
"Oh." The woman sighed and didn't want to say anything more. She took out a silver coin from her clothes and handed it to the girl: "Then give it to him."
"Thank you, teacher." The girl said immediately, happily took the silver coin and ran to the beggar. He stuffed it into the beggar's hand, ran back, and left with the woman and another girl.
On the roadside, a beggar was stunned when a silver coin was stuffed into him for no apparent reason. He raised his head and watched the woman and the two girls leave. He gritted his teeth and raised his injured right arm, rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that there was really a silver coin in the other hand, he became excited.
Although he hadn't eaten for several days, there was still a surge of strength in his body, which supported him to stand up and spin around in place several times.
Clenching his fist hard, the beggar made a strange sound: "It seems that I am not destined to fail like this. It seems that the previous setbacks are just tempering. I am now in such a state of desolation, and there are still people Help me, then I will definitely be able to..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden "pop" sound, and a heavy slap hit the beggar's shoulder.
"Huh?" The beggar turned around slowly and saw several people with very unkind expressions quietly surrounding him. His eyes flashed and he recognized them. They were all pickpockets from a gang in the city.
"What do you want to do?" The beggar looked at the people surrounding him and asked nervously.
"Hey!" The man who tapped the beggar on the shoulder was a big man about 1.8 meters tall with a full beard. He was the leader of the pickpockets. He said unceremoniously, "Your name is Gallie, right? I remember the other day. , you still want to steal things and rob our business. Why, after being caught and beaten, now you are begging? However, I don’t care whether you are stealing or begging, the rules must be followed. And The rules are also simple: this area is under the management of our Iron Blood Society, no matter what you get from others, you must hand over half of it. Understand!"
"You!" The beggar named Gallie couldn't help but stare, and shouted with a bit of indignation, "You have gone too far! Let me tell you, I am not a beggar, and the money in my hand is not obtained by begging, it is obtained by others. Give it to me. With this silver coin, I don’t have to be in such a miserable state, and I can turn around, so... I will never give it to you!"
"Idiot!" After hearing this, the bearded man couldn't help shouting. He waved his hand to several companions and said, "Hit me!"
"Yes, boss!"
"Crash!" Suddenly, several people rushed up and started punching and kicking Galie, especially focusing on Gallie's injured right arm. Gallie was beaten until he screamed repeatedly, and soon he lay on the ground and lost the ability to resist.
"Hahaha, the idiot is indeed an idiot, even his arm is broken, and he still wants to resist, really." The bearded man said, snatched the silver coins from the beggar's hand, and walked away with his companions .
After a long time, the bruised beggar got up from the ground, looked around, and cried out in despair: "It's like this again! It's like this again! Why do I always get hit? Could it be that I really have accomplished nothing? Could it be that I have to do it?" Going back in such a mess? But... I'm not willing to do it... "
