"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, I'm back,"

Xia Yunmo snorted, and then walked into the small courtyard with Suisui.

The owner of the yard, Zhang Tiansheng, is a very honest farmer, and the sister-in-law of the Zhang family is also a rural woman, although she is not a wealthy family, but she can also be self-sufficient.

At the beginning, Brother Zhang carried Xia Yunmo, who was covered in blood, to his home and asked a doctor for treatment. Otherwise, Xia Yunmo's injuries would not have recovered so quickly.

He had used the Turtle Mirror to see the minds of Zhang Tiansheng and his wife, they did not have the so-called idea of making a fortune and becoming famous, for them, it was best to be able to maintain the current situation.

Therefore, Xia Yunmo did not go out of his way to help them, so that they could obtain a lot of wealth.

In addition, Xia Yunmo has another layer of consideration.

Matched by great wealth, either a clever mind, or a monstrous power, or a high level of force, they don't have any of that.

Giving them wealth brings on them.

But Suisui, a little girl, once saw Xia Yunmo perform martial arts, and heard Xia Yunmo talk about some martial arts secrets in his spare time, so she cried and asked Xia Yunmo to pass on her martial arts.

Speaking of which, this little girl is also talented and intelligent, after cultivating these days, her fist and foot kung fu is already extremely good, Xia Yunmo also poured her diluted blood Bodhi wine to drink to help her resolve the power of the wine.

However, these Zhang Tiansheng couples did not know, and Xia Yunmo also instructed Suisui not to use the little girl casually.

"Brother Xia, it's amazing, the fish you dropped this day will be sold for a lot of money if you take it out of the city and sell it."

"Hehe, Brother Xia is the best, and you can drink fish soup again today."

"You gluttonous little one."

The family was happy, and the corners of Xia Yunmo's mouth also smiled. These days are the most relaxing time in recent years, every day is fishing, teasing little girls, leisurely and comfortable.

However, such days are not destined to be too long.

For Xia Yunmo, although this kind of plain life is very good, if it is too long, it will wear out the enterprising spirit of the martial artist.

He was destined to leave this small mountain village.

Compared with ordinary life, he prefers to see this wonderful world.

Today's dinner seems a little unusual, though.

Even though Zhang Tiansheng and his wife were laughing, their smiles were very reluctant, as if they were worried. Sometimes, when you turn your gaze to Suisui, you will reveal an indescribable sense of grief.

Suisui, the little girl, naturally didn't understand, but Xia Yunmo naturally saw it clearly.

He tactfully asked Zhang Tiansheng and his wife a few words, but they all covered up the past.

No matter how you look at it, Xia Yunmo doesn't look like a powerful person, but like a scholar, so why share the pain with others.

Xia Yunmo was using the Turtle Mirror Divine Power, penetrating their minds, but he couldn't help but change color slightly.

This world ...... It doesn't seem to be as rosy as it is in the village.

After dinner, Suisui came to pester Xia Yunmo to tell stories again. As for Brother Zhang and his wife, they hid aside and cried secretly.

Xia Yunmo shook his head, just take this as a repayment, and just come to see what is the mystery of this world.

After a night of silence, Xia Yunmo took a fishing rod and a fishing basket the next day, greeted Brother Zhang and his wife, and left directly.

Today, though, he wasn't going fishing.

When he had left the village, he returned, in a stealthy breath, hidden behind the haystack, with his hands resting behind his back, sprinkled with the sun.

Just like this, it took about an hour to go, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, and then a group of men dressed in black drove horses and galloped over.

This small mountain village is self-sufficient, rarely goes out, and few outsiders come here, but today a large group of people appeared.

When this group of black-clothed people appeared, the village chief and a group of villagers also came out to greet this group of black-clothed people.

It's just that both the villagers and the village chief are terrified. Obviously, for them, this group of men in black is not welcome, but they are afraid of this group of people.

Xia Yunmo's eyes looked at it, luck and eyes.

This group of black-clothed people are all big men, with hideous faces, faintly emitting evil energy, obviously there are human beings on their hands.

At the same time, there is a faint flow of true qi in their bodies, they should have cultivated martial arts, but this true qi is extremely weak, and it is also at the acquired level, whether it is the world that Xia Yunmo experienced before, it can only be regarded as a character who does not enter the stream.

This group of black-clothed men was arrogant and ruthless, waving horsewhips and whipping the villagers. The villagers, on the other hand, dare not speak out.

In the end, the village chief offered some food and other items to stop the people.

What made Xia Yunmo's brows furrow was that Suisui was also brought up, Suisui herself didn't know the situation, she had already fainted.

And Zhang Tiansheng and his wife were already crying, but under the persecution of that group of black-clothed people, they had to hand over Suisui again.

After receiving the food, money, and children, the group of black-clothed men threw all three things behind a carriage, and then drove the carriage away at a gallop.

Sister-in-law Zhang looked at the back of the carriage and fainted from crying. Zhang Tiansheng sighed, then woke up Zhang's sister-in-law, and the two supported each other and left.

The faces of the village chief and the other village names are also ugly, this year it is Zhang Tiansheng and their family, so which family will it be next year?

It's plundered like this once a year, when is such a day a head?

All that money is a trivial matter, but the children who are sent out every year have never returned. According to the news that came back from the investigation, it all fell into the mouth of the monster, and the bones were gone.

Hey, I don't know who will be selected next year, and I will tear a family apart.

The village chief smoked his cigarette gun, frowned, waved off the other villagers, and slowly paced away.

Xia Yunmo unfolded his body, flew out of the haystack, and strode towards the forward carriage.

According to the information reflected from Brother Wang last night, more than ten years ago, a group of bandits nearby changed to a new boss.

This big boss is even more of a monster-like existence, repelling the officers and soldiers, and bringing the surrounding mountains under his command.

And that monster is powerful, and now it rules a radius of hundreds of miles, and even the government has begun to collude with the monster.

This monster will regularly collect a certain amount of money every year, and when its birthday comes, it will feast guests. At the same time, during this period, each village will also be asked to pay a child, as for the final whereabouts of the child, no one knows, but none of them have returned.

The same is true here, yesterday the people of the village drew lots to decide that the child was offered.

Unfortunately, it happened to hit the ear.
