Qinghe Village.

The village chief's house.

An old dining table in the courtyard was full of wild game, and the village chief and several villagers warmly entertained Ye Haotian.

"Haotian, I don't have to come to the village to play more in the future, I just open my mouth when I want to eat, I don't dare to say anything else, in terms of cooking, the chefs on the mountain are definitely not as good as the women in our Qinghe Village, come, taste this venison, it was only made yesterday, it is fresh." The village chief took a piece of meat and put it in the bowl in front of Ye Haotian.

"Thank you, Uncle Cun. ”

Ye Haotian picked up the meat and put it in his mouth and took a bite, "Well, it's so fragrant, this taste is not worse than my mother's cooking." ”

The village chief smiled and said, "Steamed venison is Sister-in-law Zhao's specialty, so you can eat more if you like." ”

"Sister-in-law Zhao, your cooking skills are really good!" Ye Haotian gave a thumbs up to a woman who looked to be in her thirties, "If you want to eat venison in the future, I will go to your house." ”

Sister-in-law Zhao smiled: "Okay, welcome at any time, my Bai Ze also likes to eat the venison I make the most, you will be closer to him in the future." ”

"Forehead......" Ye Haotian was stunned, he looked at Bai Ze sitting next to Sister-in-law Zhao, and asked in disbelief: "Sister-in-law Zhao, Bai Ze is your son?"

Bai Ze sneered and grabbed the conversation: "What's the matter? I just got beaten up today, and now I eat my mother's meat, isn't it a different taste?"

Seeing Bai Ze's arrogant appearance, Ye Haotian's face suddenly sank, and he said in the tone of an elder teaching a lesson: "Bai Ze, we adults are talking, how can you have a child to intervene?"

"You!" Bai Ze stood up angrily.

Zhuzhu on the side sneered.

Bai Ze said coldly: "Ye Haotian, don't think that if you help us a little today, you want me to be grateful to you, others appreciate it, but I don't accept it!"

"Bai Ze, how do you speak?" Sister-in-law Zhao scolded, "There are no rules at all, sit down." ”

Seeing that his mother was angry with him, Bai Ze sat down although he was angry.

"It's okay, it's okay, I have a little misunderstanding with Bai Ze, we'll take care of it. ”

Ye Haotian smiled and played a round game, but he was thinking in his heart that he must teach Bai Ze a lesson when he found time, this kid just didn't clean up, but he couldn't let Sister-in-law Zhao know about this matter, after all, he ate other people's meat and beat other people's sons, and it was not good to spread it.

Bai Ze's interjection made the scene a little embarrassing for a while, but Ye Haotian didn't care about this, looking at the table full of good dishes and meat, he threw off his arms and ate and drank wildly, and couldn't stop muttering, "It's delicious, well, it tastes good, it's so delicious......"

was eating happily, Ye Haotian suddenly remembered Ying Jiu, and put down the piece of meat he picked up again.

"Brother Haotian, what's wrong?" asked Zhuzhu.

Ye Haotian wiped his mouth and looked at the village chief: "Uncle Village, I have something I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the matter?" you say. ”

"Is there a child named Ying Jiu in our village?"

"Yes, Ying Jiu is from our village, what's wrong with him?"

"That's it......"

Ye Haotian told him about being bullied by Bai Ze a few times, "Ying Jiu is too weak, timid and timid, he is always bullied, can you give me a face and take care of this matter?"

After listening to Ye Haotian's words, the village chief and a few villagers, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all silent.

Ye Haotian saw it in his eyes and said tentatively: "What's the matter?"

"Haotian. A strong man sitting next to Zhuzhu spoke, Ye Haotian already knew on the way out of the valley that this big man with knotted muscles was Zhuzhu's father and the blacksmith in the village.

"When you're new to the village, you probably don't know the rules of the village. It is inconvenient for us adults to meddle in the affairs of the children, and the survival of the strong is an iron law that our people can reproduce and have not exterminated until now, and we may not be able to help you in the matter of infant nine. ”

Jia Langzhong next to him said: "Haotian, you have also seen today's situation, our Qinghe Village is not safe, in order to enhance the villagers' self-protection ability, the ancestor has set a lot of rules, one of which is that the blacksmith said that adults are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of children, this is also to exercise their ability to survive, Ying Jiu was bullied, that is his own problem, why is it not someone else who is bullied?"

This time it was Ye Haotian's turn to be silent.

The villagers' words reminded him of the Tibetan Sword Villa.

Isn't this the same concept of respecting the strong as the villa?

"Actually, it's not that we can't tolerate Ying Jiu, it's just that many things he has done before have seriously damaged the interests of the villagers. A scholar with a folding fan in his hand said.

"He often steals and eats the spirit birds in the village, because the sunspots who are responsible for guarding the spirit birds, Bai Ze have been punished by the village rules, so they hate him so much. ”

Ye Haotian had long known that Ying Jiu had stolen things from the village, but he didn't think it was such an unforgivable thing.

Who didn't rebel and be naughty when they were young?

"It's wrong for Ying Jiu to steal things, but Bai Ze can't beat them to death. Ye Haotian interjected, "If I hadn't happened to be bumped into in the woods that time, Ying Jiu might have been killed." ”

"You see if this will work, I promise that Ying Jiu will not steal anything from the village again, and you will stop bullying him, if you need compensation, you just have to ask, I will pay off the past debt for him." ”

"Ye Haotian, are you still up?" Bai Ze sneered coldly: "I'll tell you clearly today, I will beat you once I see you, you dare to meddle in your affairs, even you will be beaten together!

Ye Haotian was also angry, he slapped the table and stood up: "Bai Ze, are you really afraid of you?"

Bai Ze also stood up without giving in, and sneered: "What? Unconvinced? Who dares to help Ying Jiu speak, he is my Bai Ze's sworn enemy! If you have itchy skin, I will help you stop the itching now! I really don't understand, you are still addicted to being beaten!"

Seeing Bai Ze's arrogant and arrogant appearance, Ye Haotian couldn't wait to slap him to death, what he couldn't figure out was that no one among the dozen or so villagers present, including Zhu Zhu, stopped Bai Ze's provocation, they looked at themselves one by one, their eyes were full of expectation, and they seemed to wish he was beaten by Bai Ze to be happy.

What does this mean? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?

At this time, Ye Haotian didn't know that there was a rule in Qinghe Village that as long as someone challenged, outsiders were not allowed to interfere, and if anyone dared to come forward to dissuade him, it would be an insult to the challenged.

"Good, good. ”

Ye Haotian took a deep breath, his eyes fell on Zhuzhu's father, and said slowly: "Uncle, you are a blacksmith in the village, I don't know if there is a sword at home?"

Zhuzhu's father shook his head without thinking about it and said, "No, we all use knives and forks for hunting, and swords are not suitable for hunting, what's the matter, you are good at making swords?"

Now, Ye Haotian is not in the mood to hold it, he is a sword god, and he has learned swords since the day he first knew how to walk, so it is not impossible for him to fight with his bare hands, but he will suffer when he meets a hand-to-hand combat master like Bai Ze, and today in front of so many people, he doesn't want to be beaten for the third time.

"Yes, do any of the folks here have a sword at home? Ye Haotian asked everyone.

The village chief stood up: "I have a handful here, you wait." ”
