On this day, the summer breeze, the bagpipes, and the wind treasure, the three "winds" are finally leaving Dr. Nagado's medical hall.

In nearly two months, his body has recovered enough to move freely, and he can run a few laps if he grits his teeth.

At least on the surface, he is no different from a normal person.

....

Nagato's wife made an eyepatch for Natsu Feng to cover his missing right eye.

This eye patch is sewn with ingenuity, it is very comfortable to wear, and the appearance is also very "fashionable", it looks like a lonely hero, which is very in line with his secondary two diseases.

In addition, Nagato prepared a cloak for both him and the bagpipes, which could not only shelter from the sun and rain, but also play a certain degree of concealment.

Of course, Xia Feng felt that he had nothing to hide.

According to Nagado, because of Victoria's Dark Ages, many infected people fled to the East Country in addition to him.

These people live in seclusion in the mountains and countryside, and occasionally go to the town to buy groceries, and now he looks just like those people.

...

Xia Feng remembers that at that time, according to the report of the Border Military District, the total number of infected people who fled Victoria during the entire Dark Ages was close to 500,000.

There were many options for these infected people, but because of the chain reaction, neighboring countries also closed their borders, such as Syracuse, Casimir, Minos, etc.

In order to find a safe haven, the infected will either choose to smuggle themselves to Colombia, Bolivar, or Rembilliton, or to the dangerous area of Ursas, or to the vicinity of Longmen and the territory of the Yan Kingdom.

Of the nearly 500,000 infected people, only a small number may end up in the eastern country.

But for Dongguo, which is already very sparsely populated, there will also be a clear feeling.

Of course, even if he meets a "fellow countryman" on the subsequent journey, Xia Feng will not be able to identify himself.

He is no longer the leader of Black Feather, nor is he capable of fighting for the survival of the infected.

He just wants to find a paradise away from strife and live an ordinary life.

....

In the courtyard, Xia Feng and bagpipes placed their packed bags beside them.

Actually, there was no luggage, mainly some food and water, and a few changes of clothes.

For the sake of groundedness, the bagpipes still wore plain dresses, and the exaggerated gun-shaped weapon was tightly wrapped in gray cloth, so that it was completely unrecognizable from the outside.

Feng Bao changed from a dog to a "donkey", and without any complaints, he put part of his luggage on his back and stuck out his big tongue.

In addition to these, Dr. Nagato also helped them pack some medicines, including Chinese herbal medicines for internal injuries, and some special medicines to prevent headaches and brain fever, which can be described as extremely intimate.

"Xia Feng, in order to avoid being too ostentatious, I won't send you."

Xia Feng wrapped a red scarf around it, put on a coat of cloth, and said goodbye with a smile.

"No need to send, we will leave Dongzhou, but we will not leave Dongguo, when the rumors pass, we will still have a chance to meet, and your son should be born by then."

"Heh, welcome at any time."

.....

Xia Feng and the bagpipes are not familiar with Dongguo, and they haven't thought about where to go for the time being, but the current goal is naturally to leave Dongzhou, which is controlled by the Sakura Warrior family.

Even if the society in the east is backward, there is one thing that is indispensable for home travel, and that is money.

Before breaking into the Sakura Samurai family, Xia Feng had been in the eastern country for two months, and although he was not very clear about the geography, he still had a certain understanding of the monetary system of this cherry blossom country.

...

At present, the currency in circulation in the entire eastern country is a metal currency issued by Kannoya, and the types are simple and rude, and there are only three types: gold, silver, and copper.

Of course, gold has the highest value, and the gold coins issued by Kannoya are about the size of a thumb, have a rectangular shape overall, and weigh about 30 grams.

The official name of this gold coin is Kanno Gold, but in Dongzhou, which is controlled by the Sakura Warrior family, in order to show dominance and reflect the loyalty of the people to the head of the family, this gold coin omits the word "Kanno" and is called Shijin, which can also be directly called gold.

The stone gold is forged with great care and intricate craftsmanship, and it is carved with lifelike cherry blossoms and vintages, as well as the name of the Kanno family, making it almost impossible to fake.

According to the conversion ratio, 1 stone of gold can be exchanged for 100 stone of silver, and 1 stone of silver can be exchanged for 400-500 copper coins according to local conditions.

Of course, money is only widely circulated in towns and cities, and as for some remote villages, the villagers have their own division of labor, and most of them have formed a complete living system.

For example, your family raises pigs, his family raises sheep, your family specializes in weaving, his family makes clay pots, etc., and finally the villagers gather the surplus daily necessities and transport them to the town to sell them in exchange for things that the village cannot produce.

According to Xia Feng's understanding, an ordinary resident of a town, the annual income of a family of three is at most two or three gold, and they also have to hand over food to the Sakura family.

It can be seen from this that as long as you carry a stone gold in your pocket, you can almost come to a national tour that you can just go.

...

In addition, Dongguo is not completely devoid of foreign currency, because it is not far from Longmen, and it is natural that Longmen coins are also circulated here.

However, Longmen coins are only limited to shops in large towns, and if you want to exchange them, you can only exchange them for local currency at the bank.

As for those rural villagers who have never seen what a Dragon Gate Coin looks like, your Dragon Gate Coin is waste paper, not to mention Terra Coins.

....

Although Xia Feng didn't bring any money with him when he left Victoria, he is not without money now.

In the samurai tournament he participated in in Shirano Town before, he won the championship, because it was an annual "big event" in Dongzhou, and the prize money for the champion was 10 golds.

He didn't leave the 10 gold, he kept it in his trouser pocket, even if he didn't even roll and climb in the mountains.

When fleeing from the Rhine, Hemmer gave him 100,000 Terra Dollars as a way to run away, and it turns out that the money is not saved but earned.

So this time he didn't need to save money either.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and for a person like him who intends to live a serious life, the difference between 10 gold and 5 gold is not big at all.

"Jingling" took out a handful of stone gold, Xia Feng directly counted out 5, and handed it over to Changteng's wife.

"Sister-in-law, I've been in trouble during this time, this money doesn't mean anything else, just think it's me buying some toys for my unborn little nephew."

Nagato's wife was at a loss for a moment after receiving the gold coin.

"This ......"

...

For her, a native of the East, this is definitely not a small number.

The long vine next to him was naturally very surprised, and he hurriedly excused himself.

"No, no, no, how can I ask for your money, isn't this a deal, to be honest, until now I feel that I am not capable, I only healed your injuries, and did not really help you find a place to settle at ease."

Xia Feng waved his hand.

"Take it, it has nothing to do with the value of money, it's just my willfulness."

....

After a while, Xia Feng could clearly see that the living conditions of the Nagato family were not wealthy.

In a rural medical center like Gulan Town, a doctor who sees a doctor will throw away a few copper coins at most, and living in Dongzhou, the doctor's job seems to be decent, but in fact, he has to pay a lot of taxes to the Sakura family every year.

In order to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, Nagato must have spent all the money on the injection equipment and medicines purchased by Nagato in Xichuan.

Now that his wife is pregnant, it will be difficult for her to recover anytime soon.

Of course, Chang Teng is already trying his best to hide the poverty of his life, he doesn't want Xia Feng to know these things, and the grace of dripping water is still reciprocated, this is the belief in the man's bones.

But Nagato doesn't say it, it's impossible for Xia Feng not to see it.

If he really didn't have a penny, he could only pretend not to see it, sincerely say thank you, and leave silently.

But since he has money, it is definitely not too much to divide half of the meeting.

....

In Nagato's eyes, Xia Feng's status has gone beyond the meaning of "friend", "brother" and "benefactor".

Faced with Xia Feng's gift, he finally chose to accept it.

Just like once upon a time, he received those life-saving drugs in Victoria, and the insulated bosom engraved with [Black Feather].

....

Night falls.

The gate, which had been tightly closed for a long time, finally opened.

Xia Feng and the bagpipes were dressed in robes, Feng Bao carried their bags, and the two of them walked out of this familiar courtyard with a dog.

"Nagato, sister-in-law, let's go."

"Take care."

The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, there is no reluctant goodbye, and there are no excited words.

Nagato and his wife stood in the doorway, silently watching them disappear into the night.

...

Although the eastern kingdom is closed and independent, internal strife is still raging.

At the same time, the uncertainty of the deterioration of ore disease has given Nagato's life trajectory to the unknown.

He didn't know if he would have a chance to meet Xia Feng in this life, a man who seemed ordinary, but actually subverted an empire.

For Nagato, perhaps, this is all the fate of this life, and it is also the last side of life.

....

In the courtyard at dusk that day, Nagato lamented to Xia Feng about the gloomy life of the infected, worried that he would not be able to see the child born.

At that time, Xia Feng smiled and said to him.

"You'll see, believe in miracles."

At that time, Nagato only took Xia Feng's words as comfort.

...

...

Until a few years later.

He didn't realize it until Nagado's fourth child was born.

At the beginning, the young man named Xia Feng changed a country, although he wanted to stay away from strife and live a peaceful life in the eastern country, but the torrent of fate would not let him go.

Some people are destined to live ordinary.

Unless the natural disasters disappear, the source stones disappear, the infected disappear, and all the misfortunes in the world disappear.

This is simply not something that can be reversed by human power, unless a miracle happens to ———.

However, he did not stop.

The sun and the moon alternate, everything flows, and this gray and desperate world is like a relentless perpetual motion machine that never changes because of someone's will.

...

Until that day.

The rotten gears cracked, and the Eternal Ring of Morbius came to an end.

That man named Xia Feng really changed the world.
