Chapter 19 People from the Village
"Two big brothers, where did you come from! Can you tell us a little bit about the outside world? Looking at the innocent and lovely little boy's look of anticipation and apprehension, Xuantian seemed to see himself standing at the entrance of Yunxia Village, and surrounded outsiders to ask this and that. www.biquge.info Because I have been in a small village for a long time, the outside world is so distant and mysterious to these people who never leave the village.
"Little brother, in fact, we came out of the forest in the distance, and we don't know the outside world very well! I'm so embarrassed! In the face of the little boy's expectations, Xuantian really wanted to meet his little request, but it was indeed difficult for him to tell the little boy about the outside world, because he himself was not too clear.
"Little brother, have you never left this little village?" Reaching out and patting the little boy on the shoulder, Shui Rumeng, who was dressed as a man, asked weakly.
"Big brother, I really haven't left the village! I heard from the old man of the village that the outside world is big! ”
"Good! I'll tell you about the outside world. In fact, the outside world is bigger than you think, and there are very big and very big cities, and these big cities combine to form a country. In short, although the outside world is very exciting, there is always a crisis lurking, and there is a danger of life at any time. And your village is the most beautiful paradise for those people in the so-called big world...... "Looking at Shui Rumeng telling the little boy about the wonders and crises of the outside world like a few treasures, Xuantian's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was more expectant of Shui Rumeng's identity. Because although Xuantian has never seen the big world, he also knows that not everyone can explain the big world outside so deeply.
"Thank you, big brother! If you don't like it, come to our house! My mother is a hospitable person! ”
"Alright, take us to your house! Thank you, little brother! Before Shui Rumeng could speak, Xuantian couldn't wait to agree to the little boy's request, and pulled Shui Rumeng to follow the little boy to the village. The little boy's home is in the middle of the village, and the cottage is divided into four small rooms, two bedrooms, a small living room, and a small kitchen.
"Mother, there are two big brothers who want to come to our house as guests! Come and see! ”
"Where did you come from? The child is still young, so if there is something, he will fill me! As soon as she saw Xuantian and the others, the little boy's mother pulled the little boy behind her, and her eyes kept staring at Xuantian and the others.
"This lady, are you mistaken! We were just passing through here on a hurried trip and wanted to spend the night! ”
"No way, the village chief has said that the people from the mountains will come to our village tonight to collect rent! Because the year is not good, everyone can't make friends, so the people on the mountain say that they want to teach a lesson! ”
Hearing the little boy's story, Xuantian and Shui Rumeng knew that there were other people who wanted to embarrass the people in the village, but they just came to the village at this time.
"Auntie, don't worry! We're not bad people! Since we have encountered it, if we can help in any way, we will do our best. Let's talk about what the hell is going on! As soon as he heard that a strongman was bullying the villagers, Xuantian thought of drawing a knife to help.
"Our village is called Silver Fir Village, and it is named after the abundance of silver fir trees. Since ancient times, the people of the village have made a living by hunting, picking fruits, and growing small crops. We have been like this for hundreds of years, but since a group of strong men came up from Silver Mountain, our good days have come to an end. Not only did they ask us to hand in the prey we hunted regularly, but they also asked us to select 20 young men every year to become disciples on the Silver Mountain, saying that if they had good potential, they could also become legendary cultivators. But there are only so many young men in our village, except for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, how can there be so many young men handed over to them. By the way, today is the deadline for them to come and ask for someone. After listening to the little boy's mother's story, Xuantian clenched his fists, his eyes lit up, and a sharp qi came out of his body, causing Shui Rumeng around him to pull the corners of Xuantian's clothes with his hands.
"Auntie, don't worry! With us, nothing will happen! You go and tell the village chief, and say that this year's handover is from your family. I see who dares to take a person from here! Shui Rumeng dragged Xuantian away, stepped forward, and told the little boy's mother what he was thinking.
"You guys can really stand out for our village! Okay, I'll go tell the village chief now! The boy's mother didn't say much, but turned and walked out of the house. Only the little boy and Xuantian were left in the room. During this period, he learned from the little boy that his elder brother was forcibly taken away by the people on the silver mountain last year, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. The minutes passed, and the news spread in the village that someone was going to stand up for the village. Some people say that this is a great thing, and they can get rid of the control of those strongmen from now on, while some people have pessimistic thoughts, and even fear that Xuantian and their failure will bring ruin to the village. But in either case, the villagers were led by the village chief to the door of the little boy's house. Because there were so many people, I could only crowd at the door.
"Two heroes, I don't know who they are! If we can really break the shackles of decades for our village, let us do anything! I'm going to salute you on behalf of the whole village! As he spoke, the village chief named Jin Liang was already kneeling bent.
"Old man, please get up, what are you doing? Rest assured, we will do our best! Even if you fail, it won't hurt you! Hurry up! Xuantian couldn't see this kind of behavior the most, and stretched out his hand to help the village chief of Jinliang who was about to kneel down.
For a while, the little boy's home was crowded inside and outside the house, and the lights were flickering, a lively scene. But it is well known that this buzz is just an outward manifestation of an attempt to hide the fear within. And the strongmen who come at any time on the silver mountain are the source of their inner fear. Xuantian is waiting, the villagers are looking forward to it, and the night in the small village is getting deeper and deeper unconsciously.
"Boom, boom!" Just when people were still guessing whether the people on the mountain would come tonight, there was a loud rumbling sound like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the villagers.
"Here they are, here they are! Two heroes, look, what should you do! They are all demon kings who kill people without blinking! The village chief was the first to react and quickly asked Xuantian and the others for countermeasures.
"Village Chief Jin, you don't have to worry, you're all standing! Go as planned! We'll be waiting for the opportunity! It's going to be fine! Xuantian comforted the village chief while retreating behind the crowd with Shui Rumeng.
