"Are these herbs all picked from the mountains?" Xiao Chen asked.

Luo Sheng nodded, "It's all picked from the mountains." Probably guessing what Xiao Chen thought, Luo Sheng persuaded: "That mountain is very dangerous, especially in the last few days, there are still some demon beasts infested, if you see people, these demon beasts will attack, you are not healed yet, it is better to take care of it first." ”

Luo Li thought that Xiao Chen wanted to go up the mountain, and hurriedly persuaded: "Yes, big brother, it has been very dangerous in the mountains recently, so you better not take risks." ”

Seeing that the father and daughter were both looking at him worriedly, Xiao Chen smiled, "I was just curious to ask, and I didn't say I was going to go." ”

It was already afternoon when Xiao Chen woke up, and after a few people chatted for a while, the sky darkened.

Luo Li went to make dinner, and Luo Sheng was tinkering with medicinal herbs, which he said were still very useful for Xiao Chen's external injuries.

Xiao Chen knew the medicinal properties of those herbs, and he didn't refuse, taking advantage of the fact that the father and daughter were busy, he took a walk around the village by the way.

The village is located in a remote area, and you can see the mountains in the distance when you go out, and the whole village is also surrounded by mountains, so it is also very troublesome to enter the village from the outside.

It's late autumn now, and the weather is getting colder, especially in the northern continent, which has begun to enter winter.

Xiao Chen didn't show up directly when he was walking around the village, he was a stranger now, and he suddenly appeared in the village for fear of attracting the attention of others.

Most of the people in the village have already returned home by this time, and every house has lit up candles, and the people here are still using the cheapest candles for lighting.

Xiao Chen has never experienced this kind of poverty since he came to the Mixed Metaverse, even in some small towns in the Western Continent before, the residents of the town used Pearl Lighting.

Sure enough, the Western Continent is the richest, and the Northern Continent is the poorest, and I don't know what the difference is between the big cities and those cities in the Western Continent.

The sky was darker, Xiao Chen wandered back to the home of the father and daughter, and when he just walked around, he found that the father and daughter lived in a little remote, and the other families in the village were basically next to each other, and the father and daughter of the family were separated by some distance.

When I was about to leave home, a voice suddenly came from the house, and it sounded like I was arguing about something, and the sound was quite loud.

Xiao Chen's footsteps paused, changed the route and walked back to his home quickly.

"Your daughter will soon become an adult, and according to the rules of our village, they are all sent outside the village, so why should you be an exception?"

"That is, the city lord of Song has always taken good care of our village, and the girls in the village are also eating and drinking when they go to his house, what are you not satisfied with?"

Standing at the door of Luo's house and shouting loudly were two middle-aged men, tall and large, with some fierce faces.

Rakusheng stood inside the door, blocking the door with his body to prevent the two from entering.

Hearing the words of the two, Luo Sheng's face turned pale, "You said it well, which of the girls who went out in our village came back? They said that they were fragrant and spicy, but have you seen it with your own eyes? Even if my daughter can't marry in this life, I will never let her go to the Song family!"

She was hiding in the kitchen pyre when she heard the quarrel outside, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Xiao Chen followed his breath to find the kitchen, and when he turned on the firewood, Luo Li was looking at him in horror, and it was clear that it was Xiao Chen, Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered his head and cried silently.

From the conversation outside, Xiao Chen can probably know what Song family these people want to take Luo Li to, but Xiao Chen doesn't believe the delicious food and drink in those mouths, there is no such good thing as pie from heaven in this world.

Especially when Rakusheng said that the girl he took out never came back, this is even more suspicious.

"Don't be afraid, those people won't take you. Xiao Chen half-squatted down, and said with a warm voice.

Luo Li sobbed in a low voice, since she was sensible, she knew that she would have such a day when she saw that her sister in the village was taken away as soon as she reached adulthood.

Her father kept telling her that no one could take her away, and she knew that her father was comforting herself, that his body was so thin and weak, and that their father and daughter were like the people in the village, and that no one would be willing to help them, and that her father's strength alone could not stop those people at all.

Luoli is reluctant to leave, and she even has an inexplicable fear of going out, always feeling that if she goes out, she will never come back.

Her intuition has been very accurate since she was a child, so this time it was the same, she was clear, if she was taken out, there would be absolutely no way to come back.

But she couldn't tell Luo Sheng these words, her father was already in poor health, if she fought against those people again, what if those people beat her father? Luoli didn't want to see her father hurt, even if she was afraid, she had already made a decision in her heart.

Seeing that the days of her adulthood are getting closer and closer, several people in the village who are specifically responsible for taking the girl out will come to their house every two days to lobby her father.

"Big, big brother, don't worry about it, Daddy, I'll take care of those people. ”

Luoli thought that Xiao Chen would come to him because he was frightened, and sobbed quietly to comfort Xiao Chen.

Anyway, this kind of thing is not a day or two, since she once ran out without her father accompanied by her father, and was seen by people outside, these people will come to the door every once in a while, and every time they will be stopped by their father, it is nothing more than a tug-of-war of quarrels, and these people will always leave.

At the door of Luo's house, the two people who were in charge of sending people to the Song family glanced at each other, they were the people who had seen Luoli's appearance before, if it wasn't for Luoli who was dressed in tatters and hurriedly ran back to the house, they couldn't believe that the person with that appearance would be the daughter of the Luo's family.

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Luosheng who was stopped at the door, his small eyes and nose were flat, and his two lips were thick, don't look at a thin figure, but the expression on his face was very vicious, although they were two people, they didn't dare to break in easily.

"Wang Wu, you say that such a person can really give birth to such a good-looking daughter?" Mazi pulled Wang Wu's arm, still not quite convinced.

To be honest, if it weren't for the curiosity about the appearance of the fallen life, they wouldn't have come to the door twice in three days.

Wang Wu frowned, carefully recalled in his mind the picture of his face when he saw Luo Li's face, and then nodded affirmatively.

"Weren't you there at the time? Don't you know what the daughter of our village looks like all these years? That little girl, I watched with my own eyes and ran to the house, who else can you say if you don't leave that girl?"

"But it's not like we haven't seen Luoli, it doesn't look like that at all?"

Mazi carefully recalled the picture when Luosheng appeared with Luoli, Luoli seemed to be very shy, always hiding behind Luosheng, looking very similar to Luosheng, with small eyes and a nose and thick lips, and there was no beauty on his body.
