Chapter 243 Poisonous Fish
At three o'clock, when it was darkest before dawn, Felisa opened her eyes abruptly with her own perseverance.

Yesterday, the village chief didn't dare to put her under house arrest under her violent threat of force, so he notified her of tomorrow's arrangements with a cold face after weighing the balance.

The village chief still didn't dare to arrange any dangerous tasks for her to hunt in the mountains, and only let her stay in the village to do some logistical work, such as washing clothes, cooking and other chores.

Felisa knew that this was the limit accepted by the village chief, so she had no objection. The purpose of her stay was to observe the transformation of the maids at close range. She got up so early today to send the person in charge of hunting.

When she reached the entrance of the village, Felisa almost didn't recognize the person in front of her.

"Carona?" she said hesitantly, skipping over Carona's haircut that could be said to be a cut.

Karona didn't seem to be surprised to see Felisa here, and a smile appeared on her face, which was painted for camouflage: "You're here too."

"Why did you cut your hair?" Felisa looked around, and saw that everyone had short hair that looked like a dog gnawing on her. They insisted on taking care of their hair even when they were in a difficult situation, but they all cut it off?
Karona showed a helpless wry smile: "Yesterday, my hair got entangled in branches and was almost attacked by a wild boar. Fortunately, I was rescued, so I cut it off."

If it is not life-threatening, they are actually unwilling to cut the hair that has been raised for so many years.

Felisa had nothing else to say, although she guessed that the wild boar was deliberately led to attack Karona, but she had no evidence, and it was not impossible for her to understand the purpose of doing so, so she closed her eyes. Mouth said nothing.

After sending the maids away, Felisa went back to catch up on sleep, and then started to do the work assigned to her by the village head.

The first job is to do laundry.

People who go out to hunt basically get up before dawn, and come back when the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the clothes are piled up in one place, waiting for her to wash.

It is not an easy task to hand wash the clothes of dozens of people. Felisa pushed a cart to the lake, threw a few clothes into the lake, and first pressed the clothes with stones to prevent them from floating away. Then he took out his magic wand, used magic to make the lake water "entangle" the clothes, then removed the stones, and imitated the principle of a washing machine to spin the clothes at high speed.

Even with the help of magic, the job of washing clothes is no longer difficult, but the total amount of clothes is too much. Felisa washed at least a dozen times, until all the clothes were washed and dried, and Felisa was already panting slightly.

Maybe Felisa was too focused on her work, she didn't notice that someone was approaching her quietly.

"Your magic level is much higher than theirs."

Felisa threw out several wind magic spells subconsciously, and it was too late to take back the magic after realizing who it was.

But the village chief easily avoided Felisa's magic, and he was not as nimble and light as an elderly man.

This is the first time Felisa has seen someone avoid magic by relying solely on their own abilities.

Felisa clenched the staff in her hand: "Sorry, I didn't notice... I didn't mean it."

She stared closely at the village chief's movements, not daring to relax in the slightest.

This place is remote and quiet. If the village chief wants to fight her, she may not be able to fight the experienced village chief. If the village chief wants to kill her and destroy her body, it will be convenient for the village chief.

Seeing Felisa's face as if facing a formidable enemy, the village chief took a few steps back: "You don't have to be so nervous, no matter what I do to you, that adult will not let me go."

The only thing she can rely on is the influence of Azalez who is far away in the sky.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Felisa didn't want to mention Azarez too much, and she couldn't help but miss the sense of security when he was around.

"It's nothing, my lord wrote you a letter." The village chief took out a letter, and without approaching it, he just stretched out his hand and handed it to Felisa.

Felisa moved her wand, and the letter floated over.

The village chief didn't stay any longer after completing his task, and turned around to leave.

When he left, his footsteps fell on the ground without even making a sound. No wonder she didn't notice his approach at all just now.

Felisa immediately opened the letter from Azales, which contained some ordinary words, and told the village chief to deliver the letter for her if she had something to do, but Azales didn't say a word about her own situation.

After reading the letter, Felisa set it on fire.

Today was only the first day, and Felisa didn't specifically write to Azarez for help, so she didn't reply.

After washing and drying the clothes, Felisa has to prepare lunch. Now the whole village eats together to control food rations, and the cooking place is at the village chief's house.

Felisa was dumbfounded at a wilting Chinese cabbage.

A clever woman can't live without rice. Although most people in the village have gone hunting in the mountains, there are still seven or eight people left behind in the village. No matter how capable she is, she can't feed so many people with a single Chinese cabbage.

"All the food has been taken away," the village chief sighed when he saw her bewildered, "This is the last vegetable."

Felisa was silent for a long time, and finally she could only say: "Let's make some soup."

Boiled cabbage, a little too much water.

Felisa held a bowl of cabbage soup and comforted herself as if she were drinking normal saline, and she would be able to live after all.

A bowl of vegetable soup is really not enough for hunger. Felisa was dizzy from hunger in the afternoon. Although she is the lowest nobleman, she has never suffered such a hardship.

Then she remembered the river in the morning, and there seemed to be fish in it, so she went to the river again, and caught a fish easily by magic.

She went back to the village with the fish, planning to have some meat for dinner.

The village chief frowned as he watched her bring the fish back.

"What's wrong?" Phyllisa asked, "Is this fish wrong?"

"It's okay," the village chief immediately loosened his brows and waved his hands, "just don't catch fish anymore."

Felisa was puzzled: "Why?"

The village head said calmly: "These fish are all poisonous, otherwise why do you think other people don't catch them?"

Felisa was so frightened that her hands shook, she threw the fish out: "Poisoned?"

Seeing Felisa's frightened look, the village chief immediately said, "It's only poisonous if you eat it, and it's fine if you encounter it."

That is also very scary, but why is this fish poisonous?

The village head explained: "It's not that this kind of fish is poisonous, but that all the fish in this river are poisonous. There is a plant-type monster in the upper reaches of this river. Its juice is poisonous, and it drips into the river, making the fish poisonous. "

So this means that if they want something to eat, they can only count on those people who go hunting in the mountains, but how long can the prey on the mountains support them, and in order to survive, people from other villages will also go hunting in the mountains, so naturally they can bear it So many requests?
