Qiao Yiqing and Su Zhuo walked for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a big tree.

"It looks like a forest, right?" Qiao Yiqing looked around suspiciously.

"Well, our Brute Force Village is in the forest." Su Zhuo nodded, stretched out his hand as he spoke, and he didn't know what method Lu Dao had cast, only to see that the forest disappeared in an instant, and a mist of smoke suddenly appeared-

After the white mist surrounded, the true face of Brute Force Village was revealed.

Qiao Yiqing looked at the Brute Force Village in front of her, which seemed to be a fairyland on earth, and her eyes widened in horror: "It turns out that this is the true face of Brute Force Village." “

"It's so beautiful and tranquil, why is it called Brute Force Village?"

Qiao Yiqing really wondered, such a beautiful place, it was really brutal to choose such an ugly name.

Su Zhuo replied with a low smile: "Actually, Brute Force Village was given to us by someone from outside. We were originally called Xingshan Village. ”

Qiao Yiqing looked around and saw that there were indeed many apricot trees planted in Xingshan Village under the smoke, which is probably how it got its name.

"Let's go." Su Zhuo waved his hand and walked forward to lead the way.

After a while, Su Zhuo took Qiao Yiqing to a big house, and as soon as he stepped into the house, he saw that the courtyard was full of people, all of them looked anxious, talking loudly and scolding.

"What do you think of Su Zhuo, you must know that he doesn't have any martial arts, and he will be bullied if he goes out." One of the women was worried about the blame.

An elderly man, holding a crutch in his hand, stomped angrily a few times, making a loud thudding sound.

"How many times I told him, he just didn't listen, and he wanted to find someone who was destined. After looking for so many years, I have found it a long time ago, and can I wait until now? ”

Another middle-aged man echoed: "Yes, my brother is just unwilling." There is nothing without martial arts, it's a big deal that we will raise him in Xingshan Village for a lifetime and protect him for a lifetime, so why wait for that destined person. ”

Qiao Yiqing watched a large group of people gather together, discussing Su Zhuo with a worried face, and she couldn't help but glance sideways at Su Zhuo's reaction.

I saw his palms clenched, his face was a little embarrassed, and he looked down at the ground, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.

This Xingshan Village is a warm village, and in this country where strength is respected, it is indeed surprising that it can truly care for a wasteful person who has no ability.

Su Zhuozhuo was silent for a long time, as if he was suppressing his emotions, and then he couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head and shouted, "Enough! I've lived under your protection for thirty-five years, and I've had enough of this incompetence, I've had enough of the contemptuous eyes of my people—I don't want your protection, I just want to protect myself and my family, but I can't do any of that!! ”

Su Zhuo roared like this, and everyone in the courtyard suddenly turned their eyes to the door.

"Oh, Su Zhuo, you're back." When everyone saw Su Zhuo, they sighed in surprise and hugged them.

"Su Zhuo, what's wrong with you, why are you covered in injuries?" Before the crowd could rejoice, they were stunned by the bruises and blood stains on his body.

Su Zhuo's eyes were full of pain, and his pale face looked extremely weak: "I-I-I-"

"He was beaten." Qiao Yiqing saw that he couldn't speak for a long time, so she simply helped him say it.

When Su Zhuo heard this, he raised his head in surprise and glanced at Qiao Yiqing with some anger.

Qiao Yiqing didn't want to save any ridiculous self-esteem, so she couldn't help but ask rhetorically: "Isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Su Zhuo slowly lowered his head and acquiesced.

Yes, he was beaten up, this is a fact, what can't be said.

Anyway, he is a waste, and it is common to be bullied, and the whole village knows about it.

"Zhuo'er, look at you, look at you! I told you not to go out of the village, you want to go out, do you want to be angry with me! The old man stomped on the cane in his hand and roared angrily.

Su Zhuo saw that the old man was very angry with him, and apologized sadly: "Dad, I'm sorry, my son is not filial!" ”

"You've been looking for someone for so many years, when did you stop? Now the people of the entire Xingshan Village are worried about your safety, do you know the way? The old man had a bitter face and persuaded bitterly.

Su Zhuo couldn't hear this kind of thing the most, and retorted excitedly: "I just hate this kind of protection." I was the only one in the whole village who had no spiritual power and no martial arts, so the people in the village treated me well and protected me everywhere, making me feel like an alternative, like a waste. The more I see your worried faces, the more guilty I feel—"

Qiao Yiqing looked at Su Zhuo's painful expression and could understand this mood very well.

Others are too good to him, but he can't help himself, and there is a sense of guilt and frustration.

After living for so many years, he was still protected like a child by the people in the village, which was indeed a bit exaggerated, which naturally caused Su Zhuo's distress and pressure.

Qiao Yiqing sighed and said, "Don't blame him. He's just trying to get stronger, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

When everyone heard Qiao Yiqing speak, they realized her existence and turned to look at her, "Are you?" ”

"I'm his destined person."

"Someone who is destined?" The crowd was puzzled.

The destined person who has not appeared for so many years suddenly appeared now, and everyone was stunned.

Su Zhuo nodded and introduced: "She is the benefactor who saved me today, if it wasn't for her, I guess she would have been killed." ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, and their faces were filled with gratitude.

One of the middle-aged women walked over, took Qiao Yiqing's hand, and thanked: "Thank you so much, we in Xingshan Village must repay you well." ”

Qiao Yiqing was stiffened by her enthusiastic attack, pulled her hand away with some repulsion, and said stiffly: "Eh, it's nothing, it's just a gesture." ”

The woman didn't care about Qiao Yiqing's attitude at all, and shouted at the old man: "Dad, take out all the things that are piled up at home." ”

When the old man heard this, he woke up like a dream, said hello three times in a row, and then commanded a few strong men to move the things out of the house.

A mountain of stuff?

Qiao Yiqing stared curiously at the strong men who came out, and saw that they were carrying black boxes in their hands.

"Bang-" fell to the ground, splashing dust on the ground.

The old man smiled amiably at Qiao Yiqing: "Girl, you saved the people of our Xingshan Village, and you are the great benefactor of our Xingshan Village, take this little gadget if you don't dislike it." ”

As he spoke, he raised his cane and swung it away, swept away a violent force, and with a bang, several boxes opened violently, blooming with a dazzling golden light.

Gold!!!

Untold gold !!

Oh my God, how rich is this Xingshan Village, it turns out that gold is a mountain of gadgets for them.

Qiao Yiqing was completely shocked.

Seeing Qiao Yiqing stunned in place, the old man thought that she was not satisfied, and immediately called a few big men: "You go and take out those little pets in the house." ”

Small Pet ???

Qiao Yiqing was even more puzzled.

When she saw the little pet in front of her who was being held by the big man, she almost collapsed.

What kind of little pet is this, it's clearly a high-level spirit beast of the Xuan and Heavenly levels——
