Chapter 2: The Bloodless Knife

The silence of the night was broken by a terrible scream, and the quiet village was suddenly enveloped in a grim, tense air. The guards on duty rushed towards the source of the sound.

After a while, the guards surrounded Xing Yi from a distance, swept the torches in their hands in the dark air, and shouted "Who". In between, there are only a few breaths, and the reaction is not unpleasant.

Due to the tension in his heart and the sudden lifting of his strength, Xing Yi's body source force was disordered, and Xing Yi couldn't answer this sudden question for a while, and when his breathing was a little smoother, Xing Yi was just about to speak, only to see a spear flying towards him.

The unprepared Xing Yi was at a loss for a while, and at the critical moment, Zhao Jian, who was like a horse, suddenly appeared to block the spear, and he said angrily, "Blind, I saw that it was a person and threw it."

The man who threw the spear retorted, "There is no long night eye, who can see clearly, and we asked just now, but there was no response." As he spoke, a group of people had gathered around him, and the torches made Xing Yi's face red.

After seeing that it was Xingyi, the hanging hearts of the people around him finally settled down, and they each secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Jian looked at Xing Yi and said, "Everyone has no malicious intentions, it's just that the abnormal atmosphere tonight made everyone nervous", and Xing Yi replied, "It's okay."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Hai, who had a feminine face in the crowd, said angrily, "You're okay, we have something to do, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you going to run around, aren't we busy enough?"

Immediately, someone chimed in, "That's it, isn't this okay to find trouble?"

"I think I'm full of food",

"It's good for him, a man from a foreign village, who eats us and lives with us, and doesn't have to work hard, like us, who works during the day, and suffers this sin at night."

"Who told our village to have a kind-hearted Zhao Dashan person, a lot of age, I can't care about others, but I just suffer my nephew Zhao You."

Just when everyone was talking happily, Zhao Wu walked out of the night, "Enough, I think one or two of you have excess energy, do you want to add some night training."

The group of people who were talking energetically just now instantly fell silent. Otherwise, they can vent the resentment that has been transformed from fright and anxiety tonight to Xingyi.

Zhao Wu's majestic gaze glanced at the week, "They are all adults, and they can't talk too much, and if they can't sleep at night and go out for a walk, is it against the rules of heaven or the rules of heaven, you want to use such language to seriously hurt him",

Under Zhao Wu's forced gaze, the crowd around them either lowered their heads or looked away with their eyes drifting away.

Looking at their casual appearance, and then looking at the corpse in the distance, Zhao Wu was really angry, "You say that you work hard and you are tired, as if you are so conscientious",

Zhao Wu roared and pointed to the corpse and said, "A beast has slipped in under your noses, what would have happened if Xing Yi hadn't found out",

He glared at everyone angrily, and people lowered their heads one after another, "Say, what, they're all dumb, didn't you say it quite happily just now", a group of people faced the anger from the captain, and they didn't dare to say anything,

"Just like this, you are the patron saint of the women and children in the village, they have been captive, killed and eaten, and you are still playing cards, playing cards, playing cards", every time you say "play cards", there is a person whose head is knocked on hard,

After finishing the three sentences, I saw three people squatting on the ground with their heads in pain and twisting their bodies, the painful look, the corners of the mouths of the people around me kept twitching, and it really hurt to watch.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind your backs, I just didn't want to care about it before, but from today's incident of the beast entering the village, I know that indulging in you is tantamount to playing with the lives of your people.

Now I can tell you responsibly that your comfortable little days are gone, and from tomorrow onwards, I will train you rigorously. As for tonight, strengthen patrols, and if there is another accident, I will ask you."

As soon as everyone heard the words strict training, one or two bitter melons had a face. Thoughts are flying, as if imagining the scene of hard training in the future, and as if reminiscing about those good times of eating, drinking, and having fun.

At this moment, Zhao Wu yelled, "Did you hear it", and the sound exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderclap. Pull their minds back to reality.

"I heard it", "I heard it and I was still stunned here", everyone who didn't come to their senses for a while looked at me, I looked at you, with a confused face, Zhao Wu hated iron and said "It's stupid, patrol",

Only then did everyone come to their senses, and then one by two turned and hurried away. Looking at their departing backs, Zhao Wu sighed helplessly.

Then he turned to look at Xing Yi, his face had changed from the majesty just now to cordial, "They are knife mouths and tofu hearts, don't go to your heart."

Xing Yi reluctantly smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Wu", Zhao Wu knew that the clansman's words just now hurt a child's young heart, and he didn't want to reveal this scar again. "It's not hurt", "No", the heavy mood made Xing Yi unable to be cheerful, which made his conversation with Zhao Wu so blunt.

Although he guessed a rough idea, Zhao Wu still asked "What happened just now", Xing Yi briefly told what happened just now, after Xing Yi finished speaking, Zhao Wu responded with a "um", indicating that he understood, and then said, "It's not safe to wander around alone at night, I'll send you back",

Xing Yi replied, "You go busy, I can go back by myself", Zhao Wu wanted to say something, but after seeing the stubbornness on Xing Yi's face, he gave up his persistence, looking at the stubborn and arrogant back that gradually faded away in the wind and disappeared into the darkness, Zhao Wu shook his head helplessly.

After watching Xing Yi's figure completely disappear into the night, Zhao Wucai turned around and walked to the beast's corpse, and when he saw a faint line on the corner of the beast's eyebrows, he showed a look of surprise,

With Zhao Wu's eyesight, he could naturally see that this beast had been kicked to death, and he turned to look at the place where Xing Yi disappeared in the darkness again.

The night wind seemed to be in heat, with inexhaustible strength, and it kept blowing, and the bright moon seemed to enter a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper into the large black clouds.

Xing Yi subconsciously tightened his clothes, although the cold wind was cold, what made him feel even colder was the cold attitude of some people in the village, there were always some people who looked at him unpleasantly and picked on him everywhere. Secretly against him in the open,

Once Xing Yi thought that he was not good enough to do so, so that they didn't treat him like that, so he worked hard to do everything well, hoping to get their approval, but it backfired, the harder Xing Yi worked, the more they hated not to see Xing Yi,

Originally, Xing Yi also wanted to come and leave, out of sight and out of mind, anyway, when he came out, he was alone, and he believed that he could survive.

But when I thought of "I have not repaid my kindness, the most important thing is that my benefactor is an old man with loess to his neck, and he has not lived for a few years, if he doesn't take advantage of the fact that the old man is still alive now, accompany him to take care of it." There will be no chance in the future.

Although the old man has a grandson, Zhao You, but... Zhao You...", thinking of this, Xing Yi shook his head vigorously, wanting to get rid of the troublesome thoughts in his head. After a few swings, Xing Yi suddenly found that the surrounding environment was overgrown with wild grass and rocks, and a desolate and gloomy feeling.

At this time, Xing Yi realized that he had arrived at a barren ridge next to the village at some point
