"What's the matter, big brother, isn't it possible that she is bullying you? Don't worry, I'm here to protect you! ”

Looking at the two turtle eggs who were not even afraid of vicious dogs, but were scared and trembling by the woman in the white dress, Li Mo suddenly entered a state of alert, staring at the woman who was walking slowly towards the two of them with full attention, and clenched his right hand tightly, once this woman made a move to hurt them, Li Mo would definitely stop the other party as soon as possible.

"Ergui, is that you?"

At this moment, the sky had already darkened, and after the woman in the white dress walked out of the hut, her eyes had not yet fully adapted to the dark environment, so she did not see the two people in the distance clearly.

She thought it was another turtle hiding here and begging her for food.

The girl's name is Yang Xin, don't look at her as just a girl in her early twenties, but she is the head of the East Village of Tianshui Village.

As the girl gradually approached, Li Mo's mood also became tense, and his body was slightly accumulated, like a taut longbow, which would burst out with great power at any time.

"Two turtle eggs?"

The girl shouted again.

The second turtle egg lying on the ground trembled again after hearing her voice.

"Dare to bully my eldest brother, I'll fight with you!"

Li Mo saw that the two turtle eggs that roasted the chicken for him were scared like this, so he immediately jumped up, his body rushed out, and his right hand clenched his fist and smashed towards the other party.

With his innate fourth-layer cultivation, this punch, even if he didn't use his own spiritual power, just relying on his physical strength, it was enough to beat Yang Xin into a pool of blood mist.

After all, he had just killed a second-order demon beast with one punch not long ago, which showed how terrifying his physical strength was.

"Ah~"

Facing Li Mo who suddenly jumped out, Yang Xin suddenly screamed in fright, the two steamed buns in Yu's hand fell to the ground, and he was stunned in place, motionless.

Seeing that Li Mo's fist was about to fall on her body, the second turtle egg lying on the ground suddenly jumped up, picked up the dog beating stick on the ground, and smashed it at Li Mo.

"Not allowed...... Bullying her ......"

Li Mo, who smashed his fist over, immediately withdrew his fist after hearing his voice, and then turned his head to look back.

"Oops!"

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a stick coming, and Li Mo, who was completely unprepared, was hit hard in the chest.

Fortunately, the second turtle egg is just a mortal, even if he uses all his strength, he can't hurt Li Mo a single hair.

"Big brother, why are you beating me?"

Li Mo looked at the two turtle eggs with an inexplicable expression, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"I ...... I ......"

Looking at Li Mo's questioning gaze, the two turtle eggs were hesitant for a long time, and they didn't say a word.

"Who are you, what are you doing in my Tianshui Village, why did you want to attack me?"

Yang Xin on the side said to Li Mo, although she was still a little frightened at the moment, she still came back to her senses quickly, and when she saw that Li Mo was a stranger, she immediately asked.

"I am ......"

Before Li Mo could speak, the two turtle eggs on the side fled here with a whoosh.

"Big brother, why did you run away, you haven't said why you want to beat me?"

Li Mo, who was about to speak, saw this, and immediately wanted to catch up and ask for clarification.

"Childe, please wait a minute, Ergui is a poor person with five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and please don't worry about him, if he offends you, the little girl will treat him to make amends to Childe."

Yang Xin saw that this strange man was going to chase after him, and was worried that he would be unfavorable to the second turtle egg, so he immediately stopped Li Mo with his body.

"Poor man with five disadvantages and three shortcomings? What do you mean? Li Mo stopped and looked at Yang Xin with a puzzled expression.

"This is not the place to talk, if Childe doesn't mind, it is better to move to the humble house and listen to me slowly."

Yang Xin can be the head of the village, naturally she is not an ordinary woman, she has extraordinary wisdom, although in the dark environment, she can't see Li Mo's face clearly, but from the other party's words, she can deduce that Li Mo is a simple-minded person, not a treacherous villain, otherwise she would definitely not invite Li Mo into the house.

The reason why he was invited into the house was actually to find out who Li Mo was and why he came here.

"If I don't go, I'm going to find my eldest brother."

To Yang Xin's surprise, Li Mo refused her invitation.

After being stunned for a moment, her red lips opened slightly, and she spoke again: "I know where the second turtle lives, and I can tell you when I stay." ”

"Alright then!" Seeing the figure of the eldest brother disappear into the darkness, Li Mo nodded and agreed to her request.

Then, Yang Xin bent down to pick up the steamed buns that fell on the ground, patted the dust on them, and turned around and walked into his hut with Li Mo.

Although Yang Xin had been prepared for a long time, she deduced from the luxurious clothes Li Mo was wearing that he was not an ordinary person, but when she really saw Li Mo under the oil lamp, she was still involuntarily stunned for a while, and was deeply attracted by Li Mo's handsome face and transcendent temperament.

Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Yang Xin forgot the words he had prepared for a while.

"What did you mean when you said that the eldest brother is a poor person with five disadvantages and three shortcomings?"

Seeing that the other party was staring at him in a daze, Li Mo asked unconsciously.

After hearing Li Mo's voice, Yang Xin noticed that he had lost his temper, hurriedly turned his gaze to the side, and spoke in a calmest tone as much as possible.

"The son doesn't know, the so-called five disadvantages are, widow (guan), widow, lonely, alone, disabled, old and widowed, old and widowed, old and childless, young and fatherless for lonely, there is no mouth for the disabled, the three deficiencies refer to, lack of money, lack of life, lack of power, if one of them is met, it is very sad, and the two turtles are all occupied, so I said he is a poor person."

"How can there be such miserable people in the world? Or is it just fate meant to be? ”

Hearing Yang Xin say this, Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and recalled in his mind that in the grove, the second turtle egg smiled and gave him half of the roast chicken in his hand.

I am so miserable, but I can't see the suffering of the world.

"Some people are born noble, eat and drink without worry, and some people are born to work hard for life, what fate is not fate, in my opinion, it is just born like this."

Yang Xin said slowly.

"Then what's the matter with you holding these two steamed buns? Is it for him? Li Mo looked at the steamed bun in Yang Xin's hand and asked.

Yang Xin nodded and said: "Although the second turtle is not a normal person, he is innocent and kind-hearted, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he won't do some theft in the village, on the contrary, he patrols the village day and night, every time he finds a stranger, he always shouts at the first time, in order to attract the attention of the people in the village, compared to others, the second turtle has made a great contribution to the village, and has also shared a lot of things for me, so I often give him some food." ”

"Then why was he scared away when he saw you?" Li Mo said.

"I don't know, he comes to me every few days, and every time I go out with food, he's scared away." Yang Xin said slowly.

As she spoke, she took out a plate, put two steamed buns on top of the plate, and then came out of the hut and put the plate together with the steamed buns in the place where he and Li Mo were just now.

"He'll come back and get it in a moment." Yang Xin saw Li Mo's eyes showing doubts, so he spoke.

"Alas, listening to you say this, the eldest brother is really a poor man, if only he could live a good life." Li Mo said in a decadent tone.

Yang Xin saw that Li Mo was innocent like a child, and after learning that Ergui was a fool, he still called him a big brother, and couldn't help but look at him in his heart.

Perhaps he couldn't bear Li Mo's pity for the second turtle, or maybe it was because of other reasons, Yang Xin spoke again: "I wonder if Gongzi has heard a legend?" ”

"Legends? What legend? Li Mo was immediately interested.

"I have heard the older generation mention, legend, every village has such a person, they look stupid and not normal, after all, in their life, they have never left the village, give some food, do any dirty work, and even some people often mock them for this, and this kind of person is called the village keeper."

"The village keeper?" Li Mo asked with a puzzled expression, it was the first time he had heard this word.

Yang Xin nodded and said: "Legend has it that the people who guard the village are all here to cultivate hardships in the world, and they can eliminate disasters for the village and resist a lot of bad luck in the village. ”

"I've lived so miserably in this life, and I have to cultivate the blessings of the next life, what legends are not legends, I don't believe it." Li Mo responded.

Yang Xin said indifferently: "Childe doesn't believe it, but many people in the village believe it, because of such a legend, many people will hold the idea that they would rather believe it than believe it, and always feel that they owe the two turtles something, so many villagers will often send him some food, so that the two turtles can survive until now, otherwise, he would have starved to death or frozen to death in the Turtle King Temple." ”

"Do you believe in this legend too?" Li Mo asked.

"What if you believe it, what if you don't believe it, at least Ergui stays in the village, which can be regarded as reassuring many of the older generation, thinking that as long as he is there, the village will not suffer from bad luck."

"Then you say this, the existence of the eldest brother is also a good thing for the village?"

Hearing this, Yang Xin smiled slightly and nodded at Li Mo.

When Li Mo heard this, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

However, after learning that Ergui is also the belief of the old man in the village, he no longer feels sad about Ergui's life experience.

What Li Mo didn't know was that the so-called village keeper in Yang Xin's mouth was just a legend made up by the previous village chief, that is, her father, in order to let Ergui and his father Da Turtle stay in the village, and few villagers believed it at all.
