Starting with Xiao Li Feidao

Chapter 378 Unsettled Village
"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, I'm back,"

Xia Yunmo snorted, and then walked into the small courtyard with Suisui.

The owner of the yard, Zhang Tiansheng, is a very honest farmer, and Zhang's sister-in-law is also a rural woman. Although she is not considered a wealthy family, she can still be self-sufficient in food and clothing.

Back then, brother Zhang carried Xia Yunmo, who was covered in blood, to his home, and asked a doctor for treatment.Otherwise, Xia Yunmo's injury would not have recovered so quickly.

He once used the magic power of the turtle mirror to see the minds of Zhang Tiansheng and his wife. They did not have the so-called idea of ​​making a fortune and becoming famous. For them, it is the best to maintain the current situation.

Therefore, Xia Yunmo did not deliberately help them and let them obtain a lot of wealth.

Apart from this, Xia Yunmo had another consideration.

To match the huge wealth, if it is not a smart enough mind, it is a monstrous power, or superb force, but unfortunately, they have none of these.

Giving wealth to them will bring disaster instead.

But Sui Sui, a little girl, once saw Xia Yunmo perform martial arts, and heard Xia Yunmo talk about martial arts secrets in her spare time, so she cried and begged Xia Yunmo to teach her martial arts.

Speaking of which, this little girl is also considered talented and intelligent. After practicing these days, her fist and kick skills are already very good. Xia Yunmo also poured diluted blood bodhi wine for her to help her dissolve the alcoholic power in it.

But Zhang Tiansheng and his wife didn't know about it, Xia Yunmo also told Suisui not to use it casually.

"Brother Xia, it's amazing. If you sell the fish you dropped this day in the city, it will cost you a lot of money."

"Hee hee, brother Xia is the best, and today he can drink fish soup again."

"You gluttonous little fellow."

The family enjoyed themselves happily, and the corners of Xia Yunmo's mouth also smiled.These days are the most relaxing time in recent years. Every day is fishing, teasing little girls, leisurely and comfortable.

However, this kind of day is destined not to be too long.

For Xia Yunmo, although this kind of plain life is very good, if it goes on for too long, it will wear down the warrior's enterprising spirit.

He was destined to leave this small mountain village.

Compared with ordinary life, he is more willing to see this wonderful world.

However, today's dinner seems a little unusual.

Even though Zhang Tiansheng and his wife were laughing, the smiles were very forced, as if there was something to worry about.Sometimes when he turned his gaze to Sui Sui, there would be an unspeakable grief.

The little girl Sui Sui naturally didn't understand, but Xia Yunmo naturally saw it clearly.

He politely asked Zhang Tiansheng and his wife a few words, but they all faltered and covered it up.

No matter how you look at it, Xia Yunmo doesn't look like a powerful person, but like a scholar, why bother to share the pain with others.

Xia Yunmo used the turtle mirror supernatural power to penetrate their thoughts, but he couldn't help but change slightly.

This world... doesn't seem to be as beautiful as in the village.

After dinner, Sui Sui pestered Xia Yunmo to tell stories again.As for Brother Zhang and his wife, they hid aside and wept secretly.

Xia Yunmo shook his head, just take this as repayment, and just in time to see what is so mysterious about this world.

Having nothing to say all night, Xia Yunmo greeted Brother Zhang and his wife with a fishing rod and basket the next day, and then left straight away.

However, today he is not going fishing.

After leaving the village, he came back again with a secret atmosphere, hiding behind the haystack, with his hands behind his back, shining the sun.

It took about an hour longer to hide, when the sound of horseshoes sounded outside, and then a group of men in black came galloping on horses.

This small mountain village is self-sufficient, and rarely goes out, and few outsiders come here, but today another large group of people appeared.

When the group of men in black appeared, the village head and a group of villagers also came out to greet the group of men in black.

It's just that both the villagers and the village chief looked terrified.Obviously, for them, this group of people in black is not welcome, but they are also afraid of this group of people.

Xia Yunmo looked with his eyes, luck and eyes.

This group of black-clothed men were all burly men with ferocious faces, and there was a faint evil aura emanating from them. It was obvious that they all had lives in their hands.

At the same time, there is a faint flow of true energy in their bodies, which should have been practiced in martial arts, but this true energy is extremely weak, and it is only at the acquired level. No matter the world Xia Yunmo experienced before, he can only be regarded as a low-level character.

This group of men in black were arrogant and ruthless, beating the villagers with whips.The villagers dare not speak out.

In the end, the village head even offered some food and other items to stop these people.

What made Xia Yunmo frowned was that Sui Sui was also brought up. Sui Sui herself didn't know the situation, she had already passed out.

As for Zhang Tiansheng and his wife, they were already crying, but under the pressure of the group of men in black, they had to hand over Sui Sui.

After the group of black clothes received the food, money, and children, they threw all three things behind a carriage, and then drove the carriage away at a gallop.

Aunt Zhang looked at the back of the carriage and passed out from crying.Zhang Tiansheng let out a long sigh, then woke Mrs. Zhang up, the two supported each other, and left.

The faces of the village head and other village names were also ugly. This year is Zhang Tiansheng's family, so which family will it be next year?
It is looted like this once a year, when will such a day be the end.

Those money are trivial matters, but the children who are sent out every year never return.According to the news from inquiries, they all fell into the mouth of the monster, leaving no bones left.

Hey, I don't know who will be drawn next year, and another family will be torn apart.

The village chief smoked his pipe, frowning, waved away the other villagers, and walked away slowly.

Xia Yunmo stretched his body, flew out from the haystack, and strode towards the forward carriage.

According to the information received from Brother Wang last night, a group of bandits in the vicinity had a new leader about ten years ago.

This big leader is even more of a monster-like existence, repelling the officers and soldiers, and taking the surrounding hilltops under his command.

And that monster is so powerful that it now rules hundreds of miles around, and even the government has begun to collude with the monster.

This monster will collect a certain amount of money regularly every year, and when its birthday is approaching, it will even have a big banquet for guests.At the same time, during this period, each village will be asked to hand over a child. As for the final whereabouts of this child, no one knows, but none of them came back.

The same is true here. People in the village drew lots yesterday to decide which child should be offered a confession.

Unfortunately, Sui Sui happened to be drawn.
