It's past noon.

On the lookouts on both sides of the gate of Xiaohe Village.

Two men in animal fur coats were drowsy in the bright sun.

Suddenly.

A stone slammed into the forehead of one of the men.

"Who?"

The man was clever and subconsciously grabbed the longbow not far away.

with it.

There is also a man on the other side who is also awakened.

Just when the two were nervous, a helpless voice sounded in their ears, "Ah Hu, Ah Leopard, didn't I emphasize, these days are more special, you must concentrate when you are on duty!" ”

The two looked for sound and saw a familiar figure.

They scratched their heads at the same time, and said with some embarrassment: "Village Chief......"

As their voices landed.

Dong Dawei had already climbed up to the lookout on the left, looked at the man in front of him and shook his head and said: "Ah Hu, you have seen the tragic situation of 'Dayu Village' with your own eyes, why are you still so careless when you are on duty?" ”

Facing the blame of the village chief.

The man named Ah Hu lowered his head.

He wanted to tell the village chief that the sun after noon was comfortable and warm, and people couldn't help but be drowsy.

But as soon as the words reached his lips, the purgatory scene he had seen in the early morning appeared in his mind.

Just when Ah Hu's face was full of shame.

From the observation deck on the other side, there was an exclamation, "Someone's coming!" ”

The voice landed.

Ah Hu grabbed the longbow for the first time, and took an arrow to pull the bowstring to the full moon.

Just a moment.

Dong Dawei's voice sounded in his ears, "Put it down, it's 'Changchun'!" ”

"Young Master Changchun?"

Ah Hu was slightly stunned, put down his longbow, and looked down.

Sure enough.

Outside the thick gate, Zao Wou-Ki was slowly approaching with a wild boar on his shoulder.

"Strange!"

Ah Hu retracted his gaze and muttered to himself in slight puzzlement, "Doesn't Young Master Changchun usually come back after dark?" ”

Not long after his voice landed, Zao Wou-ki's voice sounded outside the thick gate, "Ah Hu, open the door!" ”

Ah Hu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Dong Dawei.

Seeing this, Dong Dawei glared at him angrily: "Look what I'm doing, open the door!" ”

Ah Hu shrunk his neck and hurriedly climbed down the lookout.

Not long after a while.

Behind the thick gate, Zao Wou-Ki patted Ah Hu beside him and said with a smile: "Ah Hu, come to my side to drink at night!" ”

The voice landed, and he carried the boar away.

On the lookout.

Dong Dawei looked at the back of Zao Wou-Ki leaving, bowed his head and pondered.

Just a moment.

He lifted his head and clenched his fists.

Inside the westernmost wooden house in Xiaohe Village.

Zao Wou-Ki sat down at his desk, carefully untying the bandage on his right hand little by little.

About five minutes later.

A heavy stone lay down in his heart.

On his right hand, several places that he had treated yesterday had re-formed a thin blood scar at this time!

If nothing else, his right hand will be back to normal in two weeks at most!

When Zao Wou-Ki rebandaged his right hand, there was a knock in the direction of the door.

He was slightly stunned, got up and walked over to open the door.

Outside the gates.

Dong Dawei, the village head, smiled and looked at Zao Wou-Ki and said, "When I saw you carrying back a wild boar, I came over cheekily to beg for meat!" ”

His voice landed, and Zao Wou-Ki hurriedly moved his position out of the way, making a gesture to invite in: "I can't ask for it!" ”

More than an hour later.

In the backyard of a wooden house.

In front of a steaming hanging pot, Zao Wou-Ki and Dong Dawei sat opposite each other.

Dong Dawei threw a piece of waist that had been hot for less than ten seconds into his mouth, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he gave Zao Wou-Ki a thumbs up and said, "You will still enjoy it!" ”

Zhao Wouji smiled, stood up, filled the wine glass in front of Dong Dawei, and said casually: "The village chief is not just looking for me to beg for meat, right?" ”

His voice landed.

Dong Dawei's outstretched chopsticks froze in mid-air, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his wrinkled face, and he shook his head lightly and said, "I can't hide it from you!" ”

Say that.

He put down his chopsticks, took the turbid wine in front of him and drank it all, and said slowly: "At about eight o'clock this morning, forty families in 'Dayu Village' were found dead!" ”

When Zhao Wuji heard this, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and frowned slightly: "Is the demon beast attacking?" ”

This time of living in Xiaohe Village.

He gradually understood.

For the villagers living in the village, they need to be on guard against the bloodthirsty monsters in the wild at all times!

But he said that.

Dong Dawei shook his head, his old eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was slightly choked: "How can a demon beast exterminate a village?" ”

Speaking of which.

He paused slightly, clenched his fists, and continued word by word: "It's those damn bandits!" ”

When Zao Wou-Ki heard this, he immediately shuddered!

Not for a while.

And he came to his senses.

This world is not a previous life!

This world has taken the law of the jungle to the extreme!

When the two looked at each other.

The soup in the hanging pot was tumbling and gurgling.

Zao Wou-Ki stood up and spoke first.

While pouring wine for Dong Dawei, he said, "The village chief came to me, just to tell me the news?" ”

When Dong Dawei heard this, he stood up suddenly.

Zao Wou-Ki was stunned, his face full of puzzlement.

It was at this time.

Dong Dawei took a step back, landed on his knees with a plop, and said with a sincere expression: "The old man begs Young Master Changchun to help Xiaohe Village!" ”

"Village Chief, what are you doing here!"

Zhao Wou-Ki bypassed the hanging pot, quickly pulled Dong Dawei up from the ground, shook his head and said, "Don't be like this, let's talk about something!" ”

Dong Dawei couldn't resist Zao Wou-ki's power.

was supported by him, his eyes were red, and his voice was slightly choked, "I really can't bear to watch all the villagers of 'Xiaohe Village' being slaughtered, but I, Dong Dawei, have no strength to protect the villagers!" ”

Zhao Wou-Ki forcibly pressed Dong Dawei on the stool, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I'm a little confused now, what does the tragedy of 'Dayu Village' have to do with 'Xiaohe Village'?" ”

After Dong Dawei adjusted himself, he took a drink from the wine glass, sighed, and said slowly.

More than half an hour later.

Zao Wou-Ki recalled the scene when he first arrived in Xiaohe Village.

Only now did he understand why those old fathers couldn't wait to force their cardamom daughters to approach him. Why do those villagers have to be cheeky and stubbornly get in touch with themselves!

They are all for their descendants to be able to leave the village and live in the city.

The villagers in the village, it's too hard, it's too hard.

Let's not talk about those bloodthirsty monsters in the wild.

Even those criminals who fled the city and occupied the mountains were enough for them to drink a pot!

According to what Dong Dawei said.

In order to establish their authority, the newly arrived bandits will select some disobedient villagers and use extremely cruel means to harm them, so as to achieve the purpose of deterring nearby villages.

Bandits who will slaughter an entire village are often mad and inhumane. This kind of bandits, very rare, very few!

No matter how little it is, it still exists after all!

This kind of bandit, as long as it appears, will never slaughter just one village!

Dong Dawei's purpose in running over was to beg Zao Wou-Ki to protect the villagers of Xiaohe Village from the hands of this kind of bandit in the next week.

Zao Wou-Ki fell into deep thought for his request.

Originally, according to Brother Wang's arrangement.

He borrowed the identity of "Changchun", and after recuperating in Xiaohe Village for a few days, he immediately set off for Parrot Island.

But in order to repair and transform the acupuncture points, he stayed in Xiaohe Village for more than a month!

If he promised to protect Xiaohe Village.

This means that he has a certain probability of coming into contact with bandits.

Until that time.

The identity of "Changchun" will be at risk of being exposed.

After all, with the importance of the "Qianlong Hall quota", the Zhao clan will definitely issue a wanted warrant!

He himself is not afraid of the Zhao clan.

But Xiaohe Village, it's hard to say.

After all, there are times.

The huge clan power is much more terrifying than the bandits!

Dong Dawei saw that Zao Wou-Ki had been silent, gritted his teeth, took out a black package from his arms, stood up, and said, "As long as you are willing to help, this thing will be given to you!" ”

Zao Wou-Ki came back from his contemplation and looked at Dong Dawei's hand with some curiosity.

That's just at this time.

Dong Dawei opened the black package, revealing the delicate glass bottle inside, and said again: "This is the 'Primary Recovery Elixir' that I have treasured for a long time, and it is very effective against the injury on your right hand!" ”

His voice landed.

Zao Wou-Ki glanced at him meaningfully.

It is precisely in this way that Dong Dawei's old face suddenly became extremely red.

As early as when Zao Wou-Ki first arrived in Xiaohe Village, he asked Dong Dawei to help him find a medicine that could restore his injuries, and he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

At that time, Zao Wou-ki's right hand was only treated simply, and if he didn't take care of it well, he was at risk of infection.

Zao Wou-Ki remembers.

At that time, Dong Dawei repeatedly assured that in the villages in the wilderness, except for some herbs, there was no medicine at all!

But now.

What was that bottle of "Primary Recovery Elixir" in his hand?

Seeing that Zhao Wuji was silent for a long time, Dong Dawei was a little panicked.

If he had known that this would happen later, he would have given this bottle of potion to Zao Wou-Ki no matter what.

But his old Dong doesn't have the ability to predict the future!

Dong Dawei carefully put the potion on the ground, and while slapping his face fiercely, he said apologetically: "It's all my fault, I was ............ by lard at the time."

"What are you doing here?"

He was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Zao Wou-Ki.

I saw Zhao Wuji holding his right arm, frowning and saying, "If you look like this again, I won't help!" ”

Zao Wou-ki's voice landed, and Dong Dawei's eyes were immediately full of hope!

More than an hour later.

After seeing Dong Dawei leave, Zao Wou-Ki shook his head and closed the door.

Except for the matter of "primary recovery potion", Dong Dawei's personality is still very good. The reason why his right hand can be cared for well is also thanks to the herbs that Dong Dawei sent on weekdays.

Otherwise, Zao Wou-Ki would not have agreed to his request!

Regarding the matter of the potion, Zao Wou-Ki was not incomprehensible.

After all, for an ordinary person.

It's normal to think of a bottle of "Primary Recovery Elixir" as a family heirloom. That thing is in Yong'an City, but it is a precious item sold in limited quantities!
