When the sun rose in the east mountain, when its first rays of morning light reflected in this small mountain village, Lu Li had already woken up, and at this moment he was leaning on a boulder, looking aimlessly at the surrounding scene.

"Half a month has passed in a flash, but I don't know what year it is!"

Lu Li muttered.

This village is not big, Lu Li has carefully observed, there are more than 20 households, less than 200 people, and they are all ordinary people who have no fluctuations in the Divine Yuan, and they are not even considered martial artists. It is a quiet and peaceful place, with more than 20 simple wooden houses, which is their home for survival. Because in the mountains, they have no land to cultivate, only around the houses to cultivate some vegetable fields that are not very large, to grow some vegetables and fruits, as for the staple food of meat, they completely rely on the strong young people in the village to hunt, if a trip can not replenish a certain amount of prey, then the village of 100 people may have to starve for several days waiting for the next hunt. Of course, they don't sit on the empty side, they enclose a large open space behind the house, and keep a group of surviving prey that has been hunted back in the past, in case of emergency.

They did not reject Lu Li because he was an outsider, on the contrary, they were quite enthusiastic, the simplicity of the mountain people was innate, in the past half a month, sometimes Lu Li found that they would rather starve themselves than let Lu Li suffer famine, this almost primitive sincerity, let Lu Li feel the warmth of home, I can't help but think of the dead parents, and think of Mu Lao's unwarranted promise.

"Will there be a day?"

Lu Li's eyes were blurred, and he was a little stunned.

Of course, for Lu Li's sudden arrival, there will definitely be discordant factors in the village, such as ......

"Brother Lu Li, Brother Lu Li!"

Lu Li got up and turned around, only to see a delicate little girl shaking her little hands and running towards her. The little girl's head is big and round, with two pigtails tied behind her head, and a pair of big eyes that are bright and cute, and at this moment she is happy, and the color of joy is written on her face, simple and innocent, and touching.

Looking at the appearance of the little girl running towards him, Lu Li grinned, not pretentious, very distracted. The delicate face became innocent against the backdrop of the sun.

"Brother Lu Li's smile looks so good!" The little girl had already walked in front of Lu Li, and she was only at the height of Lu Li's waist, she raised her head and said with a smile, two shallow dimples were revealed, adding a bit of aura.

The little girl is the daughter of the tiger, and she is only nine years old this year. Since that day Lu Li knew that it was the middle-aged man named Huzi who came back with him, he went to Huzi's house to thank him, as soon as he entered the door, this little girl looked at him curiously with those big eyes, Lu Li saw that she was cute, so he gave her a piece of childhood beloved ornaments that he had been by his side, who knew that this little girl was overjoyed, and actually pestered herself to listen to the novel stories of the outside world, and they came and went, and they became familiar with their family, simple mountain people, very easy to deal with, Lu Li was even more happy with this little girl, and some of the fun and strange things that were previously in Luoxia in Yuxia were slightly changed and said to her, which made the little girl happy, and was addicted, these days have been sticking to Lu Li, I want to listen to the story, and Lu Li is also happy to do it, only to have an extra sister, warm.

"Girl, dad is in a hurry!" Lu Li touched her head and said dotingly.

The little girl was immediately unhappy, pouted and said: "Brother Lu Li, people don't call girls, people have names, they are called Shui Xin!"

The little girl's name is Shui Xin, it was given by her mother, it was a simple and virtuous mountain village woman, every time Lu left her house, she would always feel the warmth of coming home.

"I like to add you girl!" Lu Li deliberately raised his face and snorted, like a child playing tricks, and the angry little girl jumped straight to her feet.

"Come, my brother will carry you back, otherwise your father will be in a hurry!

Lu Li patted the little girl's back, and then squatted down in front of the little girl, signaling her to go up.

Originally, the little girl was still pouting, obviously angry at Lu Li's refusal to call her name just now, but it didn't take long for her to rush towards Lu Li's back, as if she was afraid that Lu Li would run away impatiently, and she bit Lu Li's shoulder hard, but she didn't really use force.

Lu Li turned around and smiled, seeing the little girl grinning at herself, she didn't care, after these few days of getting along, he had a clear temper with this girl, his hands were wrapped behind him, he got up and walked towards the village, how much can a nine-year-old child weigh, like a ball of cotton, soft and weightless.

Once upon a time, he also carried a little girl like this, and Lu Li was only nine years old that year......

......

"Let me tell you, the county lord can see that your daughter is a blessing that your family has cultivated for several lifetimes, and when the time comes, if you enter the palace in three years, your whole family will ascend to heaven, glory and wealth, and you will enjoy it inexhaustibly for a lifetime!

"I tell you, no matter what happens today, I have to take your daughter away, if you agree, accept the fifty taels of silver, I will go back to pay the errand, if you don't agree, hum, just call you empty of people and money!"

......

Lu Li carried Xiao Shui Xin to her door just now, and before she entered the house, she saw that the door was crowded with people, dozens of people large and small, almost half of the whole village gathered here, and then she heard a loud shout of scolding from inside the house, there was a hidden threat, Lu Li frowned slightly, and was puzzled, but he didn't rush in, but put Shui Xin off her back, the little girl looked into her house with big eyes and some worry, but unfortunately there were people in front of her, and she was too short to see anything at all.

Lu Li felt the little girl's uneasiness, touched her head, and signaled that she was okay. Then he took her hand and walked over to the nearest old man.

"Uncle, what's going on at Uncle Tiger's house?" Lu Li patted the back of the villager who was looking inside the house with his neck stretched out, and asked out loud.

The old man turned around and saw that it was Lu Li, but he didn't care, and the whole village was familiar with this outsider in the past few days, so he wouldn't be surprised. But when he noticed that Shui Xin beside Lu Li was face changed greatly, and said hurriedly: "Shui Xin, why are you still here, what your father and mother are most worried about is that you came back suddenly, so they deliberately broke you away, why did you run back again!"

Xiao Shuixin looked at the old man with a confused expression.

"Uncle, what do you mean by this? What happened to Uncle Tiger's family?"

Lu Li's tone was a little anxious, in the past half month, Uncle Hu's family has taken good care of him, if something happens, how can he help him!

"Young man, hurry up and take Shui Xin to the village chief's house to avoid it, there is no way to do this, we mountain people, what are we going to fight with the government!"

The old man was full of helplessness, and dissuaded Lu Li from leaving quickly with Shui Xin!

"Official?" Lu Li's expression was cold, and then he thought of what he had just heard, and he suddenly understood a little in his heart.

A kind middle-aged villager next to him was so anxious that he opened his mouth to explain:

Ten miles away from here, there is a Fengxian County outside the mountain, which is a county in the north and south, and our small village also belongs to Fengxian County. And our emperor of the Northern Dynasty has to choose a show girl every five years to fill the harem, and the county magistrates of the county capitals of the counties in the world often start preparing several years ago in order to cater to the emperor and find a way. When the county guard of Fengxian County went hunting again, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Chen Hu's family, a girl from Shuixin, who had won the Peugeot Water Spirit, and he started to include her in the cultivation of show girls, and now there are still three years before the emperor's election, and when the water heart girl will be twelve years old, it is just in line with the age of the show girl to enter the palace!"

The old man couldn't help it, and continued: "If that's the case, it's fine, for me and other mountain people, being able to send my children to the palace can be regarded as a step to the sky, but it's just ...... Just ......"

The old man said generally, and the next words seemed a little difficult to speak, slurring, and a little hesitant.

"It's just what!" Lu Li heard the statement of the two, and his face was already cold at this moment. But he still held back the anger in his heart and asked.

This kind of thing, he had heard of it when he was in Luoxia Town before, but no official dared to draft for the Kaiyuan Hua Dynasty emperor in Luoxia with great fanfare, unless that official died, otherwise the anger of those big families was not something that they could bear as small officials, and even the emperor of the Hua Dynasty himself had to weigh it!

Although he didn't get along with the girl for a long time, Lu Li liked this girl in his heart and treated her as his own sister, seeing that such a thing happened to him at this moment, and it was this girl, and there may be other hidden secrets, Lu Li's anger can be imagined!

"It's just that Bai Qun, the county shou of Fengxian County, is notorious, he didn't really help the emperor draft a girl, but ...... It's to use this as an excuse to satisfy his perverted beastly desire to rape and adulterate young girls!"

The old man said these words with great difficulty, and then lowered his head with a flushed face, as if this kind of thing would make people feel disgusting just from his mouth!
