Macheng Square.

It was noon, the sun was shining, the ground of Macheng Square was hot, and you could even see the rising heat, and occasionally passers-by passed by, and they were also hurriedly walking.

There are several huge stone pillars in the southwest corner of the square, and under the stone pillars, there are three people who take advantage of the stone pillars to shade the sun.

"Yao Manting, I've already arrived in Macheng, now I can talk about it, how to make us famous. The man who spoke was wearing a white T-shirt, with a stout figure and a somewhat comical look of sluggishness.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhihong. This man named Yao Manting looked to be twenty or thirty years old, and his face was quite delicate, but there was a suffocating tyrannical aura between his eyebrows, "There will be a good show here soon, and we can do it then." ”

"Don't sell it, tell what you know. The woman on Yao Manting's left said coldly.

The woman wore bewitching makeup, and the tight black leather jacket and leather pants showed her graceful figure, which also made her add a bit of fox temptation.

"Zhong Xiaolei, you should know the Nine Shadows Blood River Array very well. Yao Manting looked at Zhong Xiaolei with a smile.

"Nine Shadows Blood River Array...... I remembered, the formation that summoned the Nine Ghost Blood Jiao. Zhong Xiaolei pondered for a moment and said.

"If Ji Rong wants to set up the Nine Ghost Blood River Array, is it possible to succeed? Yao Manting asked.

"There is still a certain gap between the strength of Jirong and the Holy Aegis Bureau, and the Nine Shadows Blood River Array needs nine formation eyes, and the conditions for setting up the formation are extremely harsh, so it should be impossible for Jirong to successfully deploy the formation. Zhong Xiaolei replied.

"The founder of Jirong is called Huang Jialiang, I know him for an old time, this person is conceited and annoying, but it is undeniable that he is the smartest person I have ever met, there is no one, Jirong has developed into an existence that can threaten the Holy E.H.D. Bureau in six years, and the main credit is him...... Even those of us outsiders could easily think of the result, how could Huang Jialiang not think of it, so I think that the Nine Shadows Blood River Array is just a pretense. Yao Manting said lightly.

"Then what is his real purpose?" Zhong Xiaolei asked curiously.

"Ji Rong has been in frequent contact with the Eternal Empire and the Blood Spirit Royal Clan recently, if I guess correctly, Huang Jialiang's ultimate goal is likely to be the Flower Country. Yao Manting said.

"The country of flowers?" Zhong Xiaolei looked suspicious.

"As far as I know, the appearance of Jirong was originally only to fight against the country of flowers...... The relationship between this is very complicated, it can't be explained clearly in a few words, and no one in this world should be able to figure out Huang Jialiang's thoughts. Yao Manting lowered his head, his expression was a little complicated, "We just need to stay here quietly and wait to watch a good show, if we are lucky, we can not only be famous all over the world, but also recruit some companions by the way." ”

"How long will it take, I'm so bored that I want to kill. Li Zhihong looked sluggish, and he looked very funny when he said cruel words.

"How could I let Brother Zhihong be bored, the seventeenth squad of the Western District Bureau of the Holy Aegis Bureau is conducting an upgrade test in Macheng, and I will take you to have fun. Yao Manting said.

"It seems to be very interesting, Yao Manting, you will always find interesting things. Li Zhihong's dull face hung an ugly smile.

"Zhong Xiaolei, contact the other companions and ask them to get to Macheng as soon as possible, whether we can make a name for ourselves depends on this time. Yao Manting squinted his eyes and showed an intriguing smile.

"Do you want them to arrive right away? Zhong Xiaolei asked.

"Don't worry, it's okay to be there in the next few days, before that, I'm going to meet an old friend, this old friend Brother Zhihong you also know. Yao Manting looked at Li Zhihong and said lightly.

"Ah, who? The people I know are Yao Manting, Zhong Xiaolei, Ma Junhua...... And also...... And ......" Li Zhihong counted his fingers in distress, but he couldn't count them clearly.

"Brother Zhihong, you should still remember the demon ape in the ruins of the demons. Yao Manting looked at Li Zhihong with interest.

"Demon Ape, the ruins of the Demon Demon, ah, Demon Ape Liu Haoran?" Li Zhihong frowned, pondered bitterly for a moment, and suddenly rushed behind the stone pillar like an electric shock.

"If I don't go, that bastard will beat me. Li Zhihong held his head in horror, and the demon ape reminded him of very bad memories.

"This ...... I haven't seen Li Zhihong scared, is this demon ape really so strong? He should have disappeared with the mad ape five or six years ago. Looking at Li Zhihong, who was trembling with fear, Zhong Xiaolei was stunned.

Zhong Xiaolei has never been to the ruins of the demons, and her understanding of the ruins of the demons is basically obtained from the "Demons Monthly".

"It's not clear what the strength is now, but those guys in the Three Ape Gang are all monsters, and their strength will not be much worse. Yao Manting said and walked in front of Li Zhihong, "Brother Zhihong, you may not be able to defeat the Demon Ape alone, but with me and Zhong Xiaolei, you can beat him, so you don't have to be afraid." ”

"Really...... Really?" said Li Zhihong with a look of grievance and pity.

"Really. Yao Manting nodded categorically.

"That's great, Yao Manting, you are as powerful as me, and if you add it, you can definitely win against the demon ape. Li Zhihong seemed to have figured it out and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Yes, Brother Zhihong is so smart, let's go......" Yao Manting pulled Li Zhihong up, and then pulled Zhong Xiaolei, "Use your soul power to protect yourself." ”

Li Zhihong and Zhong Xiaolei knew what Yao Manting wanted to do, so they didn't ask much, and instantly activated their soul power, forming a thin layer of soul power shield on the surface of their bodies.

Seeing that the two of them were ready, Yao Manting's expression was fierce, and the surging soul power erupted wildly from his body, and the aftermath of the outbreak caused gusts of wind, and the strong wind blew the surrounding flowers and trees to crush his waist.

"Star ...... instantly" Yao Manting spit out two words faintly in his mouth, and then turned into a streamer and disappeared in place.

Guwu Village is located deep in the mountains in the south of Macheng, where there are few people and the location is remote, and most of the villagers make a living from breeding and planting.

Half a year ago, a developer took a fancy to this place and wanted to build a resort here.

Since the residents of Guwu Village are relatively simple and easy to bully, the developer offered very low conditions to buy the villagers' residences, orchards and breeding farms.

Although the villagers were simple but not stupid, they refused one after another.

In order to get this village, the developer dispatched the relationship between black and white, using both soft and hard, and unscrupulous means.

Some villagers could not stand the coercion of the developer, so they had to sell their properties to the developer at a low price.

The developers tasted the sweetness, and in order to get the remaining land, all kinds of excessive means emerged one after another.

In the end, only one family was left to persevere.

In fact, in the end, the family actually agreed, and the only requirement was to wait for the elderly man with terminal liver cancer at home to leave, because the old man's only wish was to live his last life in this land where he grew up.

But every second counts, so the developer refuses to wait and uses all kinds of dirty means to force the last family to move out.

••••••

At the foot of a hill in Guwu Village, there is a large piece of land fenced.

A large number of fruit trees are planted in the fence, and many chickens, ducks and geese shuttle between the fruit trees, and the rotten fruits that fall from the fruit trees become food for chickens, ducks and geese, and the feces of chickens, ducks and geese become the nourishment of the fruit trees.

There is also a small pig farm and fish pond, and all the dirt from the pig farm flows into the fish pond and becomes an excellent feed for the fish.

Next to the fish pond, there are several acres of vegetable fields, growing vegetables of various seasons.

Not far from the vegetable patch, there is a three-storey bungalow where the owner of this orchard farm lives.

Originally, the orchard farm would allow the family to live comfortably and comfortably, but that is no longer the case.

At the door of the bungalow, a man in a vest and two men in black suits stood.

"Liu Haoran, this is the last time we come, if you still refuse to sign the contract, you will bear the consequences. One of the men in a suit said viciously.

"Manager Zhao, can't you wait for a few months? My father's last wish is to live his last life in this orchard farm where he was born and raised, please do well. Liu Haoran pleaded bitterly.

"Think about it, your son is about to go to school, and if you are willing to sign the contract, I can assure you that your son will definitely be able to go to Macheng Primary School. Another man in a suit was kind enough to persuade him.

"I appreciate your kindness, but the old man's last wish ......"

"Don't talk about these useless things anymore, for the safety of your wife and son, I advise you to sign it quickly. The man in the suit threatened viciously.

"Manager Zhao, you can do it......" Liu Haoran was so anxious that he was about to cry, but he didn't know what he could do except plead.

"You bad guys, get out of here. At this moment, a five- or six-year-old child rushed out of the house in a rage, chased after two men in suits with a broom.

"You...... You...... Let's go, Liu Haoran, you can do it. The two men in the suit seemed to have suffered from the child, and looked very frightened, and they were not good at a child, so they could only put down their cruel words and fled in embarrassment.

"Why are you so cowardly, you are to blame for them being so bad. Drove away the two men in suits, the child threw away the broom, and pointed at Liu Haoran angrily.

"Okay, okay, let's go see grandpa. Liu Haoran touched the child's head and said angrily.

"You stand, I haven't finished scolding you yet. The child's little face was so angry that he chased Liu Haoran and scolded.

"Okay, don't make any noise. Liu Haoran stopped and glared at the child with a displeased expression.

"Hmph. Although the child was very angry, he didn't dare to continue messing around, so he pouted and followed Liu Haoran upstairs.

In a room on the second floor, an old man who was dying was lying on the bed.

The old man was sluggish, skinny and skinny, and his eyes and mouth were sunk into it.

"Dad, do you feel better? Liu Haoran walked to the old man's bedside and said bitterly.

"Still like that......" said the old man weakly, "Haoran, help me up." ”

"Yes, Dad. Liu Haoran gently helped the old man up.

"Haoran, sign it. The old man sighed softly.

"Dad...... You hear it all. Liu Haoran was a little depressed.

"Old man, I've put half a foot in the coffin, I've seen everything, and my greatest wish is not to leave here, but to see that your family of three is safe. The old man sobbed softly, but his eyes could no longer shed tears.

"Dad...... This orchard and farm is your life's work, I will keep it no matter what, Pepe and Shengwen are my most important people, even if I fight for my life, I will not let them both be harmed. Liu Haoran held the old man's hand and said with an oath.

"I just said, why didn't you get rid of those two bad guys just now. Liu Shengwen muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Wenwen come here. The old man stretched out his hand like a dry corpse and motioned for Liu Shengwen to come to his bedside.

"Grandpa. Liu Shengwen held the old man's hand and said sweetly.

"Wenwen, can you go pick some fresh vegetables, grandpa wants to eat at noon. The old man looked at Liu Shengwen dotingly and said.

"Wenwen went to pick the best vegetables for his grandfather, and after eating the vegetables, his grandfather would get better, and then play with Wenwen. Liu Shengwen finished obediently, and then rushed out of the room quickly.

"Haoran, you've been here for almost six years. When Liu Shengwen went out, the old man suddenly felt touched.

"Back then, my father not only took me and Shengwen in, but also didn't dislike me for having nothing, and handed over my daughter to me to take care of...... I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life. Liu Haoran said gratefully.

"Back then, I just thought you were a little pitiful, and gave you a few full meals to eat, all these years have relied on you to support this family, and you have already paid off those so-called kindnesses...... Even if you leave with Wenwen now, I won't blame your ......"

"Dad, don't say it, I just said that I will support this family in your place. Liu Haoran held the old man's hand tightly and promised again.

"Good...... Good...... Good ......" The old man said a few good words in a row, because he was too excited, old tears actually flowed from his sunken eye sockets, "Pepe has a stubborn personality and will never sell here, I ...... I ......"

"Dad, Pepe is my wife, and this is also my home, I won't let my wife have trouble, let alone let people destroy our home. Liu Haoran's tone was extremely firm, making people undoubted.

"Thank you...... I'm a little tired, help me lie down. After receiving Liu Haoran's repeated promises, the old man finally put his mind at ease.

"Well, then dad, you can rest. Liu Haoran carefully flattened the old man, and when he left the room, Liu Haoran looked at the old man lying with a complicated expression, as if he was making a difficult choice.

After a long time, Liu Haoran let out a long sigh and dragged his heavy steps downstairs.
