It was already evening, and the orange sunset cast a faint veil of fog over the entire slum, which was a slum but more like a lost village, with the most simple and humble thatched huts from house to house, and there was a special charm in this sunset.

But in such a quiet twilight, the sound of iron cavalry horses broke it instantly, and a group of men and horses settled at the entrance of the village, all dressed in armor and armed to the teeth, revealing only two cold and merciless eyes.

At the head was a tall and mighty general, sitting on a horse like a victorious general, his cold eyes looking at this simple and dilapidated village.

Behind him, two horses pulled a wooden cage, and in it lay three very old men, all of whom had fallen asleep, unaware that the procession had stopped at the entrance of the village.

Some old people in the village had already noticed this group of people, and they all showed panicked faces and walked towards the entrance of the village with staggering steps.

Shi Xiao, who was taking a walk, naturally noticed the army stopping at the entrance of the village, and asked, "Are they soldiers in this holy land?

Xiao Xuan's expression was serious, he sighed slightly, and replied, "They are here to send those who come into contact with the water of the Kulun River..."

Saying that, Xiao Xuan also sat down on a wooden pier with Shi Xiao, and walked towards the group of centaurs.

"Where's your village leader!?"

At this time, the stern voice of a soldier beside the general made all the old people present quiet, and Xiao Xuan hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, raised his hand, and said, "Here, here!"

Xiao Xuan, as the youngest person in this village, naturally became the person in charge of this place, and she relied on her to solve all matters.

The general glanced at it, and his cold gaze fell on Xiao Xuan's body, and in an instant, Xiao Xuan only felt that there was a powerful monster watching him behind him, and he couldn't move at all, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"How many people are there in your village now?" The general's voice was extremely calm, and he took his eyes away from Xiao Xuan and landed on Shi Xiao, who was in a daze.

"Now there are ten orphans, who have been ... There are still one hundred and eleven cursed people..."Xiao Xuan looked around and replied truthfully.

When these old men heard the words of the cursed man, they all lowered their heads and never raised them again.

Almost all of them are in their prime, but if they accidentally get involved in such a thing, they are completely regarded as outliers by ordinary people.

The general didn't speak, but the guard on the side muttered quietly: "So many... How much does it cost..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, the general's gaze was already locked on him, and he immediately stopped talking, and at this moment, the air around him seemed to drop extremely, making people tremble.

"Why didn't the person sitting here?" The general's voice sounded again, moving his gaze to Shi Xiao who was in a daze, and Shi Xiao at this time also sensed this gaze, and also turned his head to look.

"He was met by me in the back mountain, not from our village, saying that he was collecting medicinal herbs on the mountain, and he accidentally broke his foot, and now it is inconvenient to walk..."Xiao Xuan glanced at Shi Xiao and found a reason to make it up.

The general's gaze moved away from Shi Xiao, pointed to the wooden cage behind him, and said, "Three children who are only ten years old will be handed over to you!"

When he heard the general say this, not only Xiao Xuan's expression had stiffened, but even all the old men present raised their heads and locked their eyes on the three old men in the cage.

Only 10 years old!?

Everyone was amazed and couldn't believe it, but since they had come to this place, they must have been cursed, and no matter how old they were, they would become that old man.

There were only a few sighs in the crowd, and after that, there was silence.

Three people who look like they are in their twilight years are only ten years old, what did they do wrong to make this fate, and there is really no way to unravel the curse?

Xiao Xuan's heart couldn't calm down at all, looking at the three old men in the wooden cage, his mind was buzzing.

"Distribute the supplies to them!" Seeing that Xiao Xuan had not spoken for a long time, the general waved his hand and shouted loudly.

After speaking, dozens of soldiers on the left and right released boxes of materials from the rings in their hands, which was not much, but it could make these people in the village last for half a month.

After doing this, they left a few old men in this wooden cage, turned around and left here without looking back.

After arranging everything, it was already late at night, and Shi Xiao returned to the thatched hut early, and after lulling a few dolls to sleep, he also began to urge the aura to drive away the cold air on his feet.

Although the injury has improved a lot in the past month, the cold qi that has hit the bone marrow is indeed not, and until today, Shi Xiao has not been able to greatly stimulate the spiritual energy.

Urging the fire veins, burning in his own body, expelling the cold in his feet, this moment of the day is also the most comfortable period of Shixiao, these days, almost every day ends in such a state.

Xiao Xuan, who was busy with things, also crept in, watching Shi Xiao close his eyes to heal, and he didn't bother, just removed the things on the table and slept with those little dolls.

"At this rate, it won't be long before I have to leave here, you take these pills, and take good care of those three dolls when the time comes..."

The words fell, and on the table in front of Xiao Xuan, bottles of pills were neatly placed on it, among which there were two jade bottles, which were somewhat different from others.

"Those two bottles of pill medicine are not low-grade, if you think it will help your cultivation, take it yourself..."

Xiao Xuan looked at the two jade bottles and was stunned, a few days ago, she had also said that she also wanted to become a powerful cultivator, but she was already past the best age for cultivation, and now cultivation is just to enhance her strength, to be able to go deeper into the back mountain, and collect more valuable medicinal materials.

She didn't expect Shi Xiao to take this matter to heart, and specially refined the elixir for her, which already warmed her heart.

Shi Xiao slowly opened his eyes, stared blankly at the candle emitting a faint light on the table next to him, and suddenly remembered something.

Life here is too comfortable, so that Shi Xiao forgets what he should do at some point, everything is not over yet, and he is lazy here.

I don't know when, at the wick of this candle, Shi Xiao seemed to see a familiar face, this face belonged to the one hidden in his mind, and he was also panicked for a while.

"I've been here for a while, it's time to go back... Where else is there someone waiting for me..."
