The small fishing village is quiet and beautiful at sunset, the coconut trees rustle in the warm sea breeze, and most of the buildings are in the form of stilted buildings, with high eaves and children playing, chickens and dogs barking......

But that's just the good side of the dream, the reality is that the houses are dilapidated and crumbling, the air is full of fishy smells, broken boat nets, dried fish, and even poultry droppings everywhere......

Where have so many years of tranquility, this remote small fishing village is just a few toiling people, the villagers have dark skin and glow under the perennial sun, and there is no passion and yearning for life on their faces, more dull and numb.

Except for a small number of pearl divers in the small fishing villages, almost all of them make a living by fishing, begging for a living at sea, day after day, year after year, maybe that day experienced wind and rain, and this life is like this.

Walking on the road of the fishing village and witnessing all this, Liu Xiu knew that in fact, this is the real life of the vast majority of people in the world, and the only difference is that the way of life is different.

"Dare to ask what Childe is called? Why did you end up here? The old man who could communicate normally with Liu Xiu led the way on the side, and secretly looked at Liu Xiu and couldn't help asking.

To be honest, in the face of Liu Xiu, the old man, including the people around him, after the initial curiosity and vigilance, they all felt a little inferior and cowardly, and became cautious.

Liu Xiu's dress is not comparable to them, although it seems ordinary, but the fabric is even very few people in the town can afford to wear, Liu Xiu's speech and demeanor look like they have read books, which makes them feel inferior, so many people in the fishing village together know less than a basket of words, especially Liu Xiu is so good-looking, not like a hard-working person at all, it is not small at first glance, at least for them.

Keenly feeling the changes in their emotions, Liu Xiu did not change because of this, and said with a calm smile: "The junior Liu Xiu, because of a moment of curiosity, went down the Nutao River, and after a few months, he came here unconsciously."

"Angry Waves?" The old man was stunned, obviously not knowing why.

Pointing to the distance, Liu Xiu said: "It is the big river that flows into the sea in the distance."

The old man was stunned, and then said: "It turns out that Liu Gongzi came from the source of that river, in a few months, the so-called Jiannan Road must be far away."

"Yes, it's really far, at least tens of thousands of miles."

The old man was stunned, he really couldn't imagine the concept of tens of thousands of miles in his mind, and he probably didn't go that far in his life.

The people on the side watched the old man communicate with Liu Xiu, and they were all envious, but they didn't understand, they were curious and anxious at the same time, and they wanted to ask what the old man said but didn't dare to disturb.

The small fishing village is not big, only twenty or thirty households, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and the farthest place the villagers have been to is the town, and they can count the number of times, and they are full of curiosity about the outside world.

Walking all the way and chatting, soon the group came to the best building in the village, the old man introduced that this is his home, his status in the village is the village chief, he is the most knowledgeable person in the village.

The old man's family is quite happy, he has three sons, all of whom have already married, and now he has seven or eight grandchildren, but the old man said that his second son and daughter-in-law have never come back after going to sea a few years ago, and their children are now raised by the eldest and third.

When they came to the old man's house, because of Liu Xiu, a foreigner, the others did not leave, not only that, but more villagers came to hear the news, and they stretched their necks and looked at him curiously, although they couldn't understand what Liu Xiu and the old man were saying, but they also listened to it with relish one by one.

When he came home, the old man first instructed his son and daughter-in-law to prepare to eat to entertain Liu Xiu, and then went to make a pot of tea himself, the tea was very poor, but despite this, Liu Xiu also found that the old man was usually reluctant to drink it.

There was a large circle of people around, and the old man saw that Liu Xiu did not show a dissatisfied look, so he didn't care about them, and poured Liu Xiu a cup of shoddy tea, he said cautiously: "Liu Gongzi, I can't hide it, although I stayed in the big city for a while when I was young, but it was just a hard job, life in the big city is not easy, and in the end I can only come back in disgrace, you should have walked a lot of places, can you tell us about the outside world?" ”

"Why not, anyway, if you have nothing to do, I'll just talk about it" Liu Xiu smiled, groaned slightly, thought about it and said: "Actually, the outside world is not so beautiful, the vast majority of people are like you, living a hard life day after day, year after year, the difference is that the way of life is different, some people farm, some people collect medicine, some people are apprentices and whispered, in short, life is very hard......"

Liu Xiu said that the old people also listened to the lives of ordinary people in other places with relish, and from time to time they communicated with the people next to them in their local dialects, while the others showed an expression of 'but so'.

talked about the lives of ordinary people, Liu Xiuyou told them about the different scenery and buildings he saw, and after the old man's translation, people were amazed, as if they were saying that there was such a magical place.

What does an endless forest look like? What is the concept that a manor is hundreds of times larger than their village? What does a city of millions of people look like?

For these villagers, it is no different from listening to mythological stories.

When Liu Xiu said martial artists again, they were even more dumbfounded, jumping dozens of meters, killing people in the air, smashing mountains and rocks with a wave of their hands, and even flying into the sky and the sky......

Hearing this, the villagers really couldn't think of what kind of concept it was, was that something that people could do?

Some people are at a loss, thinking that it is simply unrealistic, some people are excited, and they want to be like that, and some people are blushing and thick-necked, as if they want to see it at all costs.

The old man listened, interjected from time to time to inquire in detail, muttered and communicated with the people around him, and at the instigation of others, he wanted to speak again and again, but he couldn't help but look at Liu Xiu nervously and asked, "Then Liu Gongzi, are you a martial artist?" Do you know what to do? ”

The villagers stopped talking, and looked at Liu Xiu nervously and expectantly.

Hearing this question, Liu Xiu hesitated a little, it didn't matter if he told them about the outside world, and Liu Xiu was just a superficial taste, so he should give them more knowledge, but if he said more, it would inevitably break the tranquility here, after all, if some young people couldn't help but do something stupid to go out and wander around, it would only harm them.

Originally, admitting that he had some ability was nothing to Liu Xiu, but if it aroused the ambitions of some young people, it would be his sin, and I was afraid that it would harm others and himself.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled: "I don't know that."

"Then Liu Gongzi, how can you come here safely" The old man hurriedly asked, obviously a little unconvinced.

Pointing to the back basket beside him, Liu Xiu said: "I am a doctor, my medical skills are not bad, and I have some self-protection methods, so I can come here."

Although this reason was a bit far-fetched, the old man still had to accept Liu Xiu's statement, he communicated with the villagers a little, and the villagers also showed disappointed looks, not disappointed in Liu Xiu, but disappointed that they did not have the opportunity to see the skills of the legendary warrior.

Yes, the existence of warriors is a legend for them, or did Liu Xiu say that they only knew that there was such a group of terrible existences, you must know that there was no warrior in Qingliu Town, a town with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is normal for these villagers to have never heard of warriors.

In order to divert the attention of the villagers, Liu Xiu took the initiative to ask: "By the way, during the day, I saw an amazing picture in the sky, did you also see it?" ”

"Liu Gongzi said that, we naturally saw it, when you came, we were sacrificing to the sea because of this, we don't know what it is, our ancestors have passed it down from generation to generation, saying that it is where the sea god lives, and we will always see it once or twice every few years, and some people have gone to sea to look for it, but they have never returned" The old man explained, but after speaking, he was embarrassed, obviously this fishing boat was also stupidly looked for it.

I couldn't get an answer from here, and Liu Xiu didn't get entangled, just at this time, the old man's family made a meal, and the old man invited Liu Xiu to the table, which ended this exchange 'party'.

Obviously, in order to entertain Liu Xiu, the old man's family took out all the good things, all kinds of seafood can be called sumptuous, as well as rice and a pot of bad wine.

During the meal, the old man was obviously a little preoccupied, and he didn't say much.

At the end of the meal, the old man personally arranged the best room in the house for Liu Xiu, and told Liu Xiu to rest well and leave in a hurry.

Lying on the bed on the second floor of the old man's house, you can see the picture of the bright moon on the sea when you open the window, blowing the sea breeze, and listening to the sound of the waves, which is also a different experience.

The telekinesis radiated slightly, and Liu Xiu saw the old man who left in a hurry, at this time he was staying with some villagers to discuss something, and people were sometimes excited and sometimes tangled in things.

However, they were communicating in the local dialect, and Liu Xiu couldn't understand it, and they didn't have any bad intentions, so they could only give up after a little observation.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change one's destiny and get rid of those miserable days that never see the end, who wants to seize this opportunity?" The old man looked at the people around him and spoke, expectant and apprehensive.

"But is it really possible?"

"Yes, that person's origin is unknown, we don't even know who he is, how can we rest assured?"

"Didn't you listen to the village chief, this is just an opportunity, whoever can seize it can change fate, this needs to be blocked, pay everything to block, maybe fate will get better, or it may get worse, it depends on whether you have the courage to block"

"The opportunity is right in front of you, whether you can seize it depends on your own creation......"

After a short discussion, perhaps the temptation of the opportunity to change their fate was too great, a group of people reached a consensus and decided to take a gamble and seize this opportunity to change their fate.

However, if you want to seize this opportunity, you need someone to pay, and it is not the price to pay, but half the chance to be a blessing in disguise.

In the end, one of the most beautiful girls in the village was elected after consultation, she was sixteen years old, the most beautiful in the village, the best figure, and the best pearl collector.

She was given high hopes, with the hope of changing the fate of herself and the whole village, not forced, but voluntary, expectant and apprehensive.

The old village chief earnestly instructed her: "You remember what those aunts and sisters-in-law taught you just now, right?" Serving a man is your first time, but you must do your best, whether you can change your fate or not is up to you."

"Hmm" the girl blushed and bowed her head, her heart beating like thunder.

Then the old village chief said: "If it can be done, you can go with him, remember that you must be obedient and not make him angry, let alone us, I think this man is kind-hearted, if he accepts you, he will definitely think of us, in short, everything is based on his will."

"I remember it all," the girl nodded seriously.

"Hehe, okay, let's go, if it can be done, you will be blessed in the future, even the whole village may be able to change its fate, if not, there will be no loss" After the arrangement, the old village chief said melancholy.

Then, the girl who had dressed up well left and went to the place where Liu Xiu was resting, this was an opportunity to change her fate and change the fate of the entire village, there was no force, she was voluntary.

Although the people in the village don't know Liu Xiu's identity and origin, they can tell from his words and demeanor that they are not at the same level, maybe the other party can change the fate of their entire village with his mouth, who knows, even if the worst result is, in fact, they have nothing to lose.

Seeing that the girl went, the old village chief arranged again: "Next, everyone prepares, we will go to the town tomorrow, prepare all the things that should be prepared, and set off early in the morning."

Whether you can change your fate or not only God knows, but life always has to go on, doesn't it?

The girl came to Liu Xiu's door with apprehension, and after a little hesitation, she reached out and prepared to gently push open Liu Xiu's door and slip in, and then slipped into his bed.

However, after a push, she couldn't push it open, and she tried hard, but she still couldn't push it open, and finally her face turned red, and she couldn't push the small door open with sweat on her forehead.

Could it be that the door was closed from the inside? What can I do?

After thinking about it, the girl left the door and went outside, found a ladder, and she was about to climb the window, but the window was also closed, and she couldn't push it open, no matter what......

There was no way, and in the end, the girl simply gritted her teeth and came to the door again to knock on the door, regardless of whether Liu Xiu could understand it or not, and said: "Liu Gongzi, I'm here to bring you supper"

If you can't do it quietly, then come clearly, it's really not hard to be hard, the other party is soft and weak, and you have a lot of strength!

However, when the voice fell, there was no answer in the room, but the sound of even breathing was heard.

In the end, the girl returned in vain, the doors and windows could not be opened, and she could not wake up, so there was no way......

Getting such a result, the girl and even those who are nervously waiting are in mixed moods, there are losses, helplessness and happiness, in short, they have to face the reality.

I don't have that life.

In the room, Liu Xiu was speechless, although he didn't know what the villagers discussed, but he understood the arrival of the girl, it was nothing more than a gift to the girl, and the girl was estimated to be voluntary.

This kind of thing, it's very common, not to mention this world, even if it was like this in the seventies and eighties on the other side of the earth, if you can seize the slightest opportunity to change your fate, don't say that you give away your daughter-in-law, there are countless people who rush to send your daughter-in-law out!

"Hey, it's all about life"

In this regard, Liu Xiu couldn't say anything, so he had to pretend not to know.

The night passed so peacefully, nothing happened, Liu Xiu woke up early the next morning, still eating at the village chief's house, and everyone didn't mention what happened last night, as if that thing had never happened.

But Liu Xiu still saw a trace of regret in the old village chief's expression.

I said that I was going to the town today, and after eating and resting, I set off.

The old village chief did not follow, only one or twenty young people sent Liu Xiu to the town, and they went to trade some seafood and pearls accumulated before.

For the people of this village, Liu Xiu is just a passerby, he will always leave, life still has to go on, it will always go on like that, maybe there will be an opportunity to change his fate one day in the future......

Far away from the village, Liu Xiu felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her, and when she turned around, it was the girl who turned around last night with a trace of regret, without hatred or resentment.

After witnessing Liu Xiu and the others leaving, the old village chief sighed lightly and turned around slowly, but at this time, one of his daughters-in-law came over in a panic, looking nervous, with a few heavy gold coins in her hand.

Seeing this, the old village chief knew that it was Liu Xiu who left it, shook his head and sighed: "It should be like this, this is a huge amount of money, the whole village adds up to a huge amount of money that cannot be obtained for several years, collect it, and the next time I go to the town, I will change it into materials and distribute it to the villagers, good people, but unfortunately, it is too far away from us......"

"Too much will only hurt you, there is only so much you can do, I hope to improve your life a little," Liu Xiu muttered to himself as she walked to the town.

Because of the language barrier, he didn't communicate with the other villagers along the way, so he was in a hurry.

The village was more than thirty kilometers away from the town, and they arrived from morning to noon, and then the villagers were separated from Liu Xiu, after all, the language was not understood, and there was nothing to explain.

This is a small town with only tens of thousands of people, commerce is not developed, and people live a very hard life, but although the sparrows are small, there are all kinds of things here.

After separating from the villagers, Liu Xiu did not leave for the first time to be busy with his own affairs, but secretly paid attention to it, they traded normally, obviously this kind of thing was not the first time to do, there was no accident, and after disposing of the things he brought, he bought some daily necessities and hurried back.

Seeing the villagers go back, Liu Xiu knew that what happened to the small fishing village was just a memory in his life, and maybe he would go there in the future, but who could say what happened in the future.

came to one of the best restaurants in the town, and asked Xiao Er about the situation while eating.

The one who opened the restaurant, ushered in the send-off, whether it was the shopkeeper or Xiao Er, they could speak the lingua franca, but after some exchanges, they couldn't tell what kind of boundary this was, let alone how far away it was from Jiannan Road.

Seeing that he couldn't help Liu Xiu, Xiao Er gave him an idea, go to a bigger city to inquire, what can Liu Xiu do, and that's the only way.

There was no caravan that happened to be going to the big city, so Liu Xiu could only go on the road alone, but fortunately, he asked the route clearly, and kept going north, and there was a city of hundreds of thousands of people dozens of miles away, and he should be able to arrive before dark.

Liu Xiuyi is a bold man, walking alone in the wilderness, admiring the rainforest scenery along the way, all the way to the so-called big city.

To be honest, this world walks alone in the wilderness, if you don't have some ability, it is a very dangerous thing, dozens of miles, Liu Xiu encountered a lot of dangerous animals, not to mention poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, he encountered a few crocodiles......

When the sun set, Liu Xiu finally came to a city called Jinsha.

Although it is called Jinsha, there is no gold around the city, and there is mostly sandy land that is not conducive to the growth of plants, so the city is named Jinsha, which is just a beautiful meaning.

The city was walled, not to defend against people, but from ferocious beasts.

entered the city smoothly, and Liu Xiu did not suffer any trouble.

The restaurant is always the best place to inquire about the news, and it just happened that it was getting dark, and Liu Xiu also needed to stay here for one night.

Luojia Restaurant is the best restaurant in Jinsha City, with the surname as the name, it can be thought that the owner of this restaurant still has some weight in Jinshan Village.

Here, Liu Xiu finally got the information he wanted.

The boundary he was in at this time was called Nanhai Dao, and its area was larger than that of Jiannan Dao, and there were several forces that dominated this land, but Liu Xiu had no intention of paying attention to those, so he didn't inquire carefully.

This place is also separated from Jiannan Road by a Qingshan Road, the road is far away, if all of them are taken by land, the distance is not less than 100,000 miles!

With this information, Liu Xiu asked Xiao Er to be busy with his own going, and in his heart, he was thinking about how much time he would have to spend to return to Qingliu Town in Jiannan Province.

"This brother, are you also going to Jiannan Dao?" At this moment, a young man in brocade clothes with a sword came to Liu Xiu's side and asked with great interest, obviously hearing the conversation between him and Xiao Er before.

Looking at this young man in his early twenties, Liu Xiu nodded and smiled: "Yes, what advice does Brother Tai have?" ”

"I don't dare to advise, I happened to hear you inquire about Jiannan Road, so I asked before, is this the case, I and a few other people are also going to go to Jiannan Road, but the road is too far away, you need to go together, since you are also going to go there, why don't you go together? It's good to have a care on the way," the young man said as he looked at Liu Xiu expectantly.

"Uh...... It's okay" Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment and nodded, anyway, it's boring on the road, of course it's good to have someone to walk with.

Seeing this, the young man was obviously very happy, and introduced himself: "My name is Luo Bing, this restaurant is opened by my family, how do you call my brother?" ”

"It turned out to be Brother Luo, disrespectful and disrespectful, my name is Liu Xiu" Liu Xiu said dumbly, I didn't expect to meet the small boss of this restaurant.

Luo Bing said with a familiar look: "Brother Liu, let's go, this is not the place to talk, I invited you to this meal, come with me, I will take you to meet the others, they are all companions who are going to Jiannan Dao, and take you to get to know each other" Saying this, he lowered his voice and asked: "Brother Liu, you also heard that Zulong appeared in Jiannan Dao before you went there to try your luck, right?" ”

"Well, sort of," Liu Xiu said with a wink.

Luo Bing made a clear expression, and took Liu Xiu all the way to a quiet courtyard, where there were already five or six people of the same age as Luo Bing......
