Chapter 25: Winning the Villagers' Trust

Xiao Tian had been in the cultivation realm for several days, either dealing with sharks, seawater and beaches, or dealing with small animals in the woods, away from the crowd that could communicate, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning.

Seeing the figure now, there will soon be able to return to the lively crowd, and for a human who is accustomed to living in groups, some inexplicable joy is expressed on his face.

"Xiao Huang, you just follow us from a distance, a lion of your size suddenly appears, and those villagers will be frightened. ”

Xiao Tian said to Huang Shi that he didn't want to see the villagers, who were scared away and scattered around. When the time comes, I will have to chase them, and in order to avoid trouble, I will get a preventive shot first.

"Roar. ”

The lion roared in understanding.

"Xiao Qi, in the future, in front of outsiders, you can't use Caiyun casually, you know? Being discovered by Huangshi is already an accident, if those villagers find out that it is abnormal, we will not have peace in the future. ”

"Roar!"

Although Xiao Qi was a little reluctant, he still agreed. It's like a star, everywhere you go, there are a large number of fans who come to worship, what if there is a fanatical fan who confesses again? What if the fan rushes up to kiss him? What if there are too many fans and trampling?

10,000 just in case, so I have to keep a low profile!

Xiao Qi followed Xiao Tian by running, and quickly approached those villagers.

There were a total of five villagers in Xiao Tian's telescope, and they were the villagers of the nearest village. The divine beast was born, the heaven and the earth were abnormal, and the government lacked manpower, so the strong men patrolled the mountains. These five villagers were ordered to come to the mountains to check, and if there was anything abnormal, they went back to report to the government.

There were originally six people in this group, but one of them was very unlucky, when he went out to pee last night, he was bitten by an unknown ferocious insect, and the wound was on the little brother, which was highly poisonous.

This unlucky villager named Wang Tian, after being poisoned, after more than ten seconds, he began to numb his whole body, could not move for thirty seconds, and died one minute later. He didn't even scream, and died in the mountains.

Early the next morning, the villagers gathered, found that there was one person missing, and searched around, only to find a body blackened all over. The villagers observed a few minutes of silence, dug a pit on the spot, and pushed the corpses into the pit with wooden sticks, not daring to touch them, and then a nameless new grave lay quietly in the mountains.

The task issued by the government must continue to be done, otherwise you will not be able to make a difference when you go back, and you may even affect your family. There are many dangers in the mountains, but they are not as good as the cannibalistic government. The government is like a mountain that weighs on the villagers, and they can't get rid of it in their lives.

Hu Sanhua, the village head, took the villagers to walk carefully in the mountains and forests, for fear that a poisonous insect would suddenly emerge somewhere, or a poisonous snake would bite him, and if he was lucky, he would survive, and if he was unlucky, he would return to the west. These places were still the outer edges of the mountains, and further down, they did not dare to enter them.

"Hi there!"

At this time, Xiao Tian shouted and greeted the villagers.

"Be careful!"

Hu Sanhua reminded, and then several villagers suddenly gathered in a circle, and the sudden sound frightened them a lot. In this barren mountain and wilderness, a person suddenly appears and shouts at you, how will you react?

After looking nervously at the visitor, they found that it was a strangely dressed human, and there was a strange-looking lion cub behind it.

Fortunately, it was a human, and they were a little relieved, but they also had some doubts in their hearts, where did this person come from? Could it be a youkai?

"Who are you, and why are you here?" asked the village head, Hu Sanhua, with courage.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Tian, I am a merchant from other places, hey! Our merchant ship encountered an unknown danger at sea, and the merchant ship disintegrated, and the poor old fellow who followed me died because of it. ”

Xiao Tian introduced this, showing a little sadness, as if what he said was true. Then he continued with a sob.

"My poor old fellow died, and there were two new fellows, but after the ship broke, I never saw them again. I and a few other survivors were floating in the sea with a wooden plank, and my partner Xiaoqi, who was this lion. ”

As he spoke, he hugged Xiao Qi and stroked it a few times, and several villagers were a little sympathetic when they heard such a tragic story.

Xiao Tian continued: "We were adrift in the sea, very unfortunate, encountered a shark attack, a few people in the company told me, they went to lure away the shark, told me to paddle hard, to escape ahead, I listened to their words, paddling desperately, swimming far away. ”

"Hey, Pingshui met, just brothers in distress, I didn't expect them to be willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, in order to let me survive alone, they actually went to lure away the sharks collectively. I feel guilty in this life, I have one life, but they bought 8 lives. ”

Speaking of this, there were tears left in the corners of Xiao Tian's eyes, he wiped a handful of tears with his hand, Xiao Qi seemed to be infected, and obediently arched a few times in his arms to express comfort.

"Anyway, after they lured the shark away, I swam as hard as I could until I was exhausted, and finally I just hugged the plank and floated away with the waves. After a day of floating on the sea, we finally floated to this island. ”

"I have been on this island for three days, and I have pity on my little lion, who has not had enough to eat for the past three days, and has only relied on some bark and grass roots to feed his hunger, and he has lost a lot of hunger. ”

The village chief listened to Xiao Tian's story and secretly rejoiced for him. Your life is really big, why here, there are the most sharks in the sea, and you still have the life to survive, and you have not been bitten to death by poisonous insects in the mountains and forests. You should thank God, thank the earth, thank the sharks and bugs for letting you go.

"Xiao Tian, I didn't expect your experience to be so miserable, and I am very sympathetic to your experience. If you want, come back to the village with us. It's just that now we have a mission to find out what is unusual on the edge of the mountain range, and we can only go back when we are done. ”

Hu Sanhua is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a good heart, kindness, and trustworthiness, and the people in the village also agree with him very much, so he became the village head. Seeing that Xiao Tian is pitiful, he can help if he can, and make a good fate, and at the same time, he is just a stopper.

As for Xiao Tian's identity, they can still accept it, because there are often merchant ships coming and going on this island, and there are many outsiders of all kinds. Xiao Tian's dress is a little unusual, but there are people who are more alternative than him, especially some people whose whole body is shrouded in black gauze, only showing their eyes, nose and mouth, and looking mysterious. Compared to them, Xiao Tian is still a normal person.

"Thank you, village chief, as long as I leave the mountain, I will earn money, and I will definitely repay your village. ”

Xiao Tian didn't expect that this village chief was so good at talking, and when the time came, the village chief would lead the way, and he would soon be able to leave the mountain.

When the other villagers saw that the village chief had taken in a wandering merchant, they had no other opinions, and bringing him with them would not affect the mission. Back in the village, the merchant is expected to leave soon, the merchant is not going to do business, will he still stay in the village to farm?

"No thanks, I'm just doing it..."

"Not good, village chief!"

"It's over, village chief!"

"Miserable, such a big lion!!"

Several ordinary villagers suddenly screamed at this time, because they saw a huge and powerful golden lion with a body of more than two meters long, walking in the direction where they were.

Huangshi is such a big person, ordinary villagers can only find death in front of it, and they can't run away. Therefore, when the villagers saw him, they didn't even have the intention of running away, so they obediently waited for death to become the food in its mouth.

When the village chief heard the exclamations of the others, he also fixed his eyes, and was stunned: "Sure enough, it's over!"

Xiao Tian knew that such a scene might occur, he glanced back at Xiao Huang, and then comforted them: "Don't panic, that lion is also raised by me, it doesn't eat people, it eats vegetarian!"
