Chapter 208: Eating Watermelons and Fighting Monsters
The small mountain village was unusually quiet at this moment. If Tian Xiaoxiao did not have excellent eyesight and could see rows of adobe houses, she would definitely have thought this place was an empty space.
As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, Tian Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a large net was cast towards her.
【Alas, here comes another person who has fallen into the trap. 】
[Is this the third one today? ]
[The first two have been given to that demon boy. How pitiful! How pitiful!]
[Let's move quickly! Ever since the birth of that demon child, this place, which was once a place of outstanding people, has become a place of gloom and everyone looks ashen.]
[I'm already packed and ready to leave! ]
[Let's go! This will become our hometown where we can never return! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao listened to the voices of the nightingales and did not resist the net. After speaking a few words to Daju, she surrendered.
The net rolled up into a ball, and Tian Xiaoxiao curled up, wanting to see who had put up the net.
After a while, a child about one year old walked up to Tian Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face.
"Haha, I actually caught a beautiful girl! Daddy, Mommy, help me carry her back!"
As soon as Long Wentian finished speaking, a middle-aged couple came forward and moved Tian Xiaoxiao onto the stretcher.
Then two tall and strong men lifted the stretcher and walked towards the village.
Tian Xiaoxiao: Long Wentian did not reborn with his memories! But what is going on with the evil spirit in him?
The nightingales have not yet flown away.
[It's over. That little girl is going to die soon! What a pity. What a pity.]
[Hurry up, hurry up, or we will die! There is no grass here, there is nothing to eat, so they have to catch living things like us to eat! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao threw a few torn talismans on the ground, and the talisman papers disappeared into the soil.
It’s nice not to have to walk. Being carried by someone feels pretty comfortable except that I can’t stretch my arms and legs.
No wonder people like to ride in sedan chairs, it feels so good.
After walking about three miles, we arrived in front of a low adobe house with a large yard.
It was already dawn, and with the dim light, Tian Xiaoxiao could see the surroundings clearly.
They are all adobe houses, and they are very short. Some of them have small yards, while others have no yards at all.
The roofs were covered with thatch, and there was not a single tiled house in the entire village.
What surprised Tian Xiaoxiao the most was that, apart from humans, there were very few living things in this village.
There was a human scent, but it was very weak.
The two big men who had just carried her had unsteady steps and swollen faces.
Aren’t the people here hungry?
Is there such a village under Daddy’s jurisdiction?
It shouldn’t be!
Tian Xiaoxiao remembered that there were no fruits, vegetables or rice planted in the fields she saw along the way.
Last year, didn’t Dad lead the garrison troops to build new paddy fields and reclaim wasteland in Shengjing?
At the beginning of the spring ploughing season at the beginning of the year, grain and vegetable seeds were distributed to every county and town.
Fearing that the people did not have enough money to grow various crops, Tian Xingjian also ordered every household to pay silver per person.
But why is it like this here?
[Family, we can’t stay here any longer, let’s go to Shengjing quickly. I heard from my grandmother’s sister’s son’s wife’s brother that Shengjing is extremely wealthy now! ]
[I really can't stay in Yucheng anymore. Ever since that evil demon child was born, I feel like the air in the entire Yucheng has become polluted.]
[The county magistrate of Yucheng has no skills at all. He can't even copy homework. ]
[That’s right, we are not far from Shengjing, why is the county magistrate unwilling to send people to obtain the scriptures? ]
[Let’s go, my family, let’s go to our relatives in Shengjing! ]
After listening to the thoughts of several little mice, Tian Xiaoxiao realized that this place was not under the jurisdiction of Shengjing.
With the court in turmoil, I'm afraid no one would pay attention to the changes in such a small county.
Since no one is bothering her, she has a good opportunity to show off her skills.
The strong man carried Tian Xiaoxiao into the house and was immediately sent away by Long Wentian.
Before the two left, Tian Xiaoxiao clearly saw that they were both swallowing their saliva, as if they were very hungry and saw food.
The decoration inside this house is similar to that outside, and you can tell at a glance that it is poor.
There were not many good benches. The only one that looked a bit old and had four intact legs was where Long Wentian sat.
Tian Xiaoxiao was thrown to the ground. She smelled the air and heard, "Oh, Daddy is coming with a large army."
She doesn't even need to do anything. This time, she can take care of Yucheng as well.
When it was completely light, Daju came to Tian Xiaoxiao.
Tian Xingjian and his team were still on their way behind.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, Long Wentian seems to have forgotten me.]
Daju: [He didn't reborn with his memories, but with all his skills. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If we can kill him once, we can definitely kill him a second time. Let’s kill him right away while he’s still young! The longer we wait, the more trouble we’ll have!]
Daju: [Okay, get ready.]
At this time, the sunlight shone into the house, and the only old rooster in the village crowed "cock-a-doodle-doo".
Long Wentian's parents collapsed to the ground, and then Long Wentian picked up the middle-aged man and woman and put them aside like kittens.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wait, watch for a while! ]
When Daju came to Tian Xiaoxiao, he set up a barrier so that no one could feel his and Tian Xiaoxiao's presence, let alone hear any sound.
Daju: [This is a forbidden technique, and it will have a huge impact on the soul and body! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are those people actually dead? ]
Daju: [That’s right.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are all of these Long Wentian's masterpieces? ]
Daju: [Yeah. I didn't expect that eating human brains in the next life would become a skill for them.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Which skill? ]
Daju: [Half of the soul is stored in the human brain, waiting for an opportunity to find the possibility of rebirth. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wouldn’t that mean I could live forever? ]
Daju: [You also need to be a gifted person, and be able to find a body that matches your soul. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What should we do now? ]
Daju: [I will go to the village entrance to wait for your father and the others. It is daytime now, and the people in this village cannot move around easily. Long Wentian’s soul has not yet been integrated, so he cannot do evil in the strong sunlight during the day.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist and start a fight here.]
Daju: [You observe first. Most of the villagers are half dead. We can’t save them. The main thing is to control Long Wentian’s half soul and kill him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay, when my father arrives, give me a message and I will subdue Long Wentian first.]
Daju was waiting for Tian Xingjian ten miles away from the village entrance.
Wow, a large group of people came together.
Tian Xixi was brought with him, and Tian Xingjian tied Tian Xixi in his arms.
Half of the yamen runners have arrived, after all, some have to be left to guard the government office.
Tian Xiwen held the judge's pen in his hand, and was excited as it was his first actual combat experience.
Deng Hongyu followed Tian Xiwen closely.
Tian Xiwu had experience in charging into battle before, and at this moment he had a calm expression on his face.
Tian Lele walked happily.
Lin Yunzhi looked at the children who were eager to try and felt mixed emotions.
There is a sense of loss, but more of a sense of relief. Talents emerge in every generation, and the children are better than their teachers. The older ones can retire to the second line in the future.
After everyone arrived, Lin Yunzhi walked in front holding Daju and quietly entered the village.
