Chapter 9 The Village of Drawing Water

Liu Yi didn't make it in the end.

"Aota, are you sure it's here?"

"Isn't this sick Lang's family?"

"Dad, Third Uncle Wang, it's really this, I can see it clearly!"

Hearing the sound outside the courtyard, the two people in the house looked at each other, Liu Yi shrugged helplessly, and Hua Niang playfully stuck out her tongue.

......

When it was dawn, the village was full of weeping.

Although every family has measures to avoid the monsters, at night, they still lose a lot of people in panic. Moreover, the measures are not flawless. Under the huge hooves of the wildebeest, many things cannot be stopped.

Even, their village guard, a fourth-order demon alchemist, was too old and his power was declining, and he was trampled into pulp by the leader of this group of wildebeests, thanks to a passing young man, who desperately defeated him, and the wildebeest group retreated.

Several surviving elders, surrounded the blood-stained youth in green shirts, and thanked them repeatedly.

"Zhuangshi, thanks to you, otherwise we don't know how many more people will die in Jishui Village!"

"Yes, yes, strong man, please accept our worship!"

Liu Yi smiled bitterly, he held up a few old men, but he couldn't stop a large group of villagers who followed him, and several children even knelt down and kowtowed to him.

"Folks, don't be like this, don't be like this, I'm also a human race! This is what I should do! I believe that everyone who passes by will take action when they see this situation!"

Several old men nodded heavily, praised repeatedly, and gave a thumbs up. The villagers also turned their heads to each other, and their eyes were full of reverence when they looked at Liu Yi.

Only behind the crowd, a man in black, his eyes full of jealousy and hatred, next to him, placed a tattered corpse, from the head vaguely saw that it was an old man with gray hair.

At this time, a prestigious old man, supported by several people, stepped on a boulder. He waved his hand, and the villagers fell silent.

"The Three Ancestors are above!"

A group of people, including Liu Yi, all knelt down on one knee. Under the old man's deep voice, everyone lowered their heads and listened to the sacrifice.

After the end of the three thousand sacrifices, the old man was helped down by several young men, and a middle-aged strong man stepped on the boulder again.

"In the five thousand three hundred and twenty-seventh year of the Lingzu calendar, my Jishui Village was invaded by wildebeest monsters. ”

"Dead and wounded......"

"In this disaster, many heroes have come forward......"

"Unfortunately, our old village protector, our patron saint, Wang Tiesi, a powerful fourth-order demon alchemist, passed away to protect us. ”

"Daddy, my father, you died so miserably!"

Behind the crowd, there was a sudden cry, but it was Wang Dalang who wiped his eyes. Several villagers hurriedly stepped forward and comforted them with kind words.

"According to the usual case, Wang Tiesi's funeral will be handled by the village's good students, Wang Tiesi's widow will also be supported by the village, and the Wang family's annual money within ten years will also be shared equally by the village's families. ”

"There are also ...... sacrifices"

"Thanks to the blessing of the three ancestors, a benefactor from heaven has helped us expel the wildebeest, and our benefactor is invited to come to power. ”

The crowd burst into applause, and Liu Yi saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to come to the stage and accept the thanks of Jishui Village.

Later, the middle-aged strong man continued, "Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, it is not easy to survive, the deceased have passed away, and the living should be self-reliant." ”

After the cremation, the village held its usual gatherings. ”

"This gathering is not only to see off the deceased and celebrate the rest of their lives, but also to thank our benefactors. ”

......

The fire was lit, Hua Niang said goodbye to Wang Ailang, she cried, cried heartily, back then, she also said goodbye to her parents like this.

"Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, Demonic Beasts are criss-crossed, and even the corpses can't live in peace, so they have to be cremated. ”

Hua Niang reluctantly left Liu Yi's arms, looking at him at a loss, looking embarrassed, she wiped away her tears, grabbed the package from Liu Yi's hand, and gently pushed him, "Let's go, everyone is waiting for you." ”

......

Jishui Village is not a wealthy village, and the so-called gathering is when each family takes some ingredients and gets together for a meal.

"What? Benefactor is leaving?"

Several old men who sat with them exchanged glances, and an old man quietly left his seat and walked to a stone pier on the periphery, where several women, including Hua Niang, sat together.

Hua Niang was already uncomfortable, several women looked at her very strangely, and a pock-faced lady even whispered something Kefu!

If it weren't for the fact that she was not familiar with the place, if it weren't for the fact that the person was still there, she would have let this little girl see and understand, why is she called Hua Niang, not Hua Niu, Hua Mei, Hua Sister or something!

The old man beckoned, which was exactly what the flower girl wanted.

"Little girl, this sick man is also gone, I don't know what you plan?"

Hua Niang was already angry, but when she heard the old man's words, she was unhappy.

"Uncle, are you here to pick me up too?"

"Hehe, I don't mean that, old man," the old man glanced at the child in Hua Niang's arms, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "I mean, if you stay, the sick man's share of the family will be yours." ”

Hua Niang has made up her mind to follow that person, it doesn't matter if she has family wealth or not, but thinking that there is a person like Wang Dalang here, Hua Niang is as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Needless to say, we'll be gone soon. ”

When the old man heard this, he sighed in his heart, not good.

"There's no hurry to go, girl, I don't think you're happy here, so you might as well go to our table. ”

Hua Niang glanced at the young man who was pushing the cup to change the lamp, and naturally had no objections.

As the protagonist of the village banquet, Liu Yi was invited to sit in the most honorable position, accompanied by prestigious people in the village, such as Wang Tiesan, the elder brother of the village protector Wang Tiesi, the former village protector Qingshu, and the middle-aged strong man Qingshan, who presided over the cremation before, he is the son of Qingshu and is also recognized as the second best man in the village.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Qingtian, the son of Qingshan, who is the same age as Liu Yi, is also among them. Of course, this alone is not enough for him to share the table with his parents and grandparents, the key is strength. Although Qingshan was young, he had already advanced to the rank of third-order demon alchemist, and he was the most qualified of the younger generation in the village.

"I don't know where the benefactor is?" the old man Qingshu asked, but seeing that Liu Yi's face had changed, he continued, "If the benefactor is inconvenient, it's okay not to say it." ”

Liu Yi shook his head, "Uncle, there's nothing inconvenient, I won't tell you, I also have a home from all over the world." ”

"In that case, why don't the benefactor stay?" said Aoki tentatively.

Liu Yi's expression moved, now that the child's condition is getting more and more serious, the third-order demon core has a tendency to be unable to suppress the cold poison, he is bound to find a higher-order demon core, but it is really inconvenient to take the child, if he stays, it is not a good thing to have the girl to help take care of it.

It could be seen that Liu Yi was a little moved, Wang Tiesan hit the railway while it was hot, "If the benefactor stays, I can give you all the real estate near the sick man's house." ”

"That's right, Third Uncle Wang is the patriarch of the Wang family. Aoyama nodded.

Qingtian also spoke, "Yes, big brother benefactor, you can stay, the younger brother still wants to ask you for advice!"

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment and looked at Hua Niang.

Hua Niang's heart jumped, "Is this asking for my opinion?"

"If I let my eldest brother leave because of that villain, wouldn't this be a waste of the favor that my eldest brother has worked so hard to earn. Besides, I don't know what it's like to go anywhere else, so I can't be so selfish. ”

Thinking of this, Hua Niang smiled at Liu Yi and nodded heavily.

Seeing Hua Niang nodding, Wang Tiesan finally put down the stone in his heart, and he smiled, "Girl, now that the sick man is gone, your marriage with my Wang family is over!"

"Thank you Uncle San. Although Hua Niang doesn't care much about those etiquettes, she can get the consent of the head of the Wang family, and she can be regarded as a correct name.

"In the future, with that person, there will probably be no one to gossip. ”

After learning that the young man, who did not want to be named, was willing to stay, the village was quite happy. You must know that this is the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and it may be attacked by demonic beasts at any time, and with this master in charge, everyone's safety will be more guaranteed.

"Hahaha!" Qingshan stood up and said loudly, "It is the honor of our village that the benefactor is willing to stay in our Jishui Village, I suggest that everyone raise a glass together and pay tribute to the benefactor!"

"Good!"

"A must!"

Liu Yilian got up, picked up the wine and said, "You don't have to be like this, in the future, we will be a family, and we will drink water together." As for me, the newcomer, I will take advantage of this bowl of wine to drink a bowl with everyone, and I hope you will take care of it in the future!"

"Good!"

"Well said!"

Several old men took the lead in expressing their positions, and the village suddenly became a good voice, and men, women, and children took up stone bowls and drank bitterly.

After a bowl of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

Liu Yi also enjoyed this rare nostalgia, and he considered telling everyone his name, but ...... Who knows if there will be anyone chasing after him.

So, he used his flower name all the way.

Hearing that everyone's benefactors are long and benevolent, Liu Yi was also a little uncomfortable pretending to be high, and in desperation, he smiled bitterly: "Everyone, since we are a family in the future, don't call any benefactors, give birth!"

"As for me, for some personal reasons, my name is not easy to disclose. In this way, in the future, everyone who is older than me will call me a little brother, and those who are younger than me will call me a big brother, okay?"

"I'll see it!" said Aoki stroking his palms and laughing.

The words spread, and for a while, the big brother and the little brother kept talking.

Qingtian took a bowl of wine, left his seat, and squeezed Qingshan, "Dad, let's change, I'll talk to my eldest brother." ”

Qingshan glared and knocked on Qingtian's skull, "Qingtian, my name is little brother benefactor, how can you call him eldest brother?"

"Then grandpa is still called little brother, why don't you call uncle?" Qingtian covered his head unhappily, squeezed to Liu Yi's side, and said excitedly, "Big brother, I saw you fight with the wildebeest king with my own eyes last night, it's really amazing, when will you teach me a few tricks!"

Liu Yi picked up the bowl and touched it with Qingtian, and responded happily.

"Big brother, I want to learn too. ”

"I want it too. ”

Soon, almost half of the teenagers in the village ran over, shouting that they wanted to learn a few tricks from Liu Yi.

Although a few old men blew their beards and stared, they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the young men, after all, even a middle-aged man like Qingshan was a little hot, not to mention those teenagers who still had the dream of being a master.

Liu Yi was not annoyed, got up and drank a bowl with these young men, and said with a smile: "Little brothers, don't worry, the days will be long in the future, and everyone who is willing to learn will come!"

"yes, yes!"

Suddenly, the main seat was lively.

Hua Niang sat quietly beside Liu Yi, looking at all this with a smile on her face, she tightened the sleeping baby in her arms, and for a moment, she felt that this child was her own.

"Slut!"

In the corner, Wang Dalang took a heavy bite of dry bacon, looking at the adoring eyes of Hua Niang, his heart became more and more uncomfortable, and his eyes towards Liu Yi became more and more fierce.

"Da Lang, follow me!"

Suddenly, a slap woke Wang Dalang up, and he withdrew from the party after the comer.

"Da Lang, what's the matter with you?"

In the room, Wang Tiesan's eyes were sharply staring at Wang Dalang.

"Third uncle, I'...... I'm not convinced!"

Wang Dalang gritted his teeth and said, "My father's ashes haven't cooled yet, and they're like this?

Wang Tiesan looked Wang Dalang up and down, and said with a little suspicion: "Just because of this, you look at him viciously?"

"Otherwise?" Wang Dalang shouted, "I'm also the son of the former village protector, even if I am not the successor of the village protector, they have to give my dead father a little face." It's like now, as soon as my father dies, no one will look at me more!"

Wang Tiesan glanced at Wang Dalang, "Who are you blaming for? You kid has done too many good deeds before! If it weren't for my fourth brother being a village protector, you would have been driven out long ago with your virtue!"

"I ...... I ......"

"What are you!" Wang Tiesan said angrily, "If you restrain yourself in the future, if something happens again, I won't be able to protect you." ”

Seeing Wang Dalang's disapproving appearance, Wang Tiesan couldn't help but sigh, "Old Qingshu, their branch can't accommodate you for a long time, and now you have seen this situation, your father is gone, and their one is friendly with the kid who just came." If you do it again, do you think there will be someone to speak for you?"

"It's a piggy old green tree, Qingshan, Qingtian, Lao Tzu will kill their family sooner or later!"

Wang Tiesan knocked on Wang Dalang's head, "Come on, you will come to this set! Don't talk about Qingshan, if you continue to be lazy, I'm afraid you won't even be able to beat that kid in Qingtian." ”

"Third uncle!" Wang Dalang suddenly said seriously, "If you support me, I will cultivate well tomorrow." ”

"Get out! Don't beat my idea, I still have a big family!" Wang Tiesan subconsciously touched his pocket, "Your father left you a lot of resources, right? You kid had better make good use of it, don't go to Wildebeest Town to drink flower wine again!"

Speaking of this, Wang Tiesan said earnestly: "Honestly cultivating to the fourth order, who would dare to look down on you?"

"Alright, alright, I got it. Wang Dalang waved his hand tirelessly.

Wang Tiesan shook his head secretly, he didn't know how many times he had said this, including his brother, but it was a pity.

Disheartened, Wang Tiesan didn't have the heart to say a few more words, and turned around to leave.

"Third Uncle ......"

"What?"

"You see that my sick brother has also suffered this time, can you come forward and tell me about the little widow of his family!"

"What?" the old man turned around suddenly, glared like a bell, and said word by word, "Don't even think about it!"

"I warn you, if you don't want to die, don't beat the little widow's idea. ”

"Day!" Wang Dalang scolded, "Lao Tzu knows, you want to use that little widow to hang that stinky boy who doesn't know where he came from!"

"You know the best!" the old man said indifferently, "I will try my best to promote a marriage for you, and in the future, you will do it yourself!"

"Get out!"
