After noon.
On the observation decks on both sides of the gate of Xiaohe Village.
Two men wearing animal skin coats were drowsy under the bright sunshine.
Sudden.
A stone hit one of the men on the forehead.
"who?"
The man was clever and subconsciously grabbed the long bow not far away.
Along with it.
There was also a man on the other side who was also awakened.
Just when the two of them were nervous, a helpless voice sounded in their ears, "Ah Hu, Ah Bao, didn't I emphasize that these days are special, you must concentrate on duty!"
The two looked for the sound and saw a familiar figure.
They scratched their heads at the same time and said with some embarrassment: "Village Chief..."
As their voices fell to the ground.
Dong Dawei had climbed up to the observation deck on the left. He looked at the man in front of him and shook his head: "Ahu, 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 criticism from the village chief.
The man named Ahu lowered his head.
He wanted to tell the village chief that the sunshine after noon was so comfortable and warm that it made people feel sleepy.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, the purgatory scene he saw in the morning appeared in his mind.
Just when Ahu's face was full of shame.
An exclamation came from the observation deck on the other side, "Someone is coming!"
This voice fell to the ground.
Ahu immediately grabbed the long bow, put an arrow on it and stretched the bow string to the full moon.
Just for a moment.
Dong Dawei's voice rang in his ears, "Put it down, that's 'Changchun'!"
"Master Chang Chun?"
Ahu was stunned for a moment, put down his long bow, and looked down.
as expected.
Outside the thick gate, Zhao Wuji was slowly approaching with a wild boar on his shoulders.
"strangeness!"
Ah Hu withdrew his gaze and murmured to himself in slight confusion: "Don't Master Chang Chun usually come back after dark?"
Not long after his voice landed, Zhao Wuji's voice sounded outside the thick door, "Ahu, open the door!"
Ahu was stunned and looked at Dong Dawei subconsciously.
Seeing this, Dong Dawei glared at him angrily: "Look what I'm doing, open the door!"
Ahu shrank his neck and hurriedly climbed down from the observation deck.
After a while.
Behind the thick door, Zhao Wuji patted Ahu beside him and said with a smile: "Ahu, come to my place for a drink tonight!"
When the sound fell, he carried the wild boar and left.
On the observation deck.
Dong Dawei looked at Zhao Wuji's leaving figure and lowered his head in thought.
Just for a moment.
He raised his head and clenched his fists.
Inside the westernmost wooden house in Xiaohe Village.
Zao Wuji sat in front of the desk and carefully untied the bandage on his right hand bit by bit.
About five minutes later.
A heavy stone fell in his heart.
On his right hand, several places that he had treated yesterday were now covered with a thin layer of blood scars!
If nothing unexpected happens, his right hand will be back to its original state within two weeks at most!
When Zhao Wuji was re-bandaging his right hand, there was a knock on the door from the direction of the door.
He was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked over to open the door.
outside the gate.
The village chief Dong Dawei looked at Zhao Wuji with a smile on his face and said, "When I saw you carrying back a wild boar, I shamelessly came over to ask for its meat!"
His voice fell to the ground, and Zhao Wuji hurriedly moved his position, making a gesture to invite him in and said: "I'm glad you asked for it!"
More than an hour later.
In the backyard of the wooden house.
In front of a steaming hanging pot, Zhao Wuji and Dong Dawei sat opposite each other.
Dong Dawei threw a waist piece that had been permed for less than ten seconds into his mouth, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he gave Zao Wou-ki a thumbs up and said: "You will still enjoy it!"
With a smile on his face, Zhao Wuji stood up, filled the wine glass in front of Dong Dawei, and said casually: "The village chief came here not just to beg for food from me, right?"
His voice fell to the ground.
Dong Dawei's extended chopsticks froze in mid-air, an awkward smile appeared on his wrinkled face, he shook his head lightly and said, "I can't hide it from you!"
Finish this sentence.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, and said slowly: "At around eight o'clock this morning, all forty households in 'Dayu Village' were found dead!"
When Zhao Wuji heard this, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "Are monsters attacking?"
During this period of living in Xiaohe Village.
He gradually understood.
For villagers living in the village, they need to be on guard against bloodthirsty monsters in the wild at all times!
But he finished this sentence.
Dong Dawei shook his head, his old eyes full of bloodshot eyes, and his voice choked slightly: "How could a monster wipe out a village?"
Speaking of which.
He paused slightly, clenched his fists, and continued word by word: "It's those damn bandits!"
When Zhao Wuji heard this, he immediately shuddered!
Not for a while.
Then he came to his senses.
This world is not the previous life!
This world takes the law of the jungle to its extreme!
When the two looked at each other.
The soup in the hanging pot was rolling and making a gurgling sound.
Zhao Wuji stood up and spoke first.
While pouring wine for Dong Dawei, he said, "The village chief came to see me just to tell me the news?"
When Dong Dawei heard this, he stood up.
Zhao Wuji was stunned, with confusion written on his face.
It was at this time.
Dong Dawei took a step back, landed on his knees with a plop, and said with a sincere expression: "I beg you, Master Chang Chun, to help Xiaohe Village!"
"Village chief, what are you doing!"
Zhao Wuji walked around 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 anything!"
Dong Dawei could not resist Zhao Wuji's power.
Being supported by him, his eyes were red and his voice was slightly choked, "I really can't bear to see all the villagers in 'Xiaohe Village' being slaughtered, but I, Dong Dawei, don't have the strength to protect the villagers!"
Zhao Wuji forced Dong Dawei onto the stool, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm a little confused now. What does the tragedy in 'Dayu Village' have to do with 'Xiaohe Village'?"
After Dong Dawei adjusted himself, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, sighed and said slowly.
More than half an hour later.
Zhao Wuji 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 teenage daughters to get close to them. Why do those villagers have to be so shameless and insist on having a relationship with me!
They all want their descendants to leave the village and live in the city.
It is too difficult for the villagers in the village.
Let’s not talk about the bloodthirsty beasts in the wild.
Even those criminals who fled the city and occupied the mountains as bandits were enough to drink from them!
According to what Dong Dawei said.
In order to establish their authority, the newly arrived bandits will select some disobedient villagers and harm them with extremely cruel methods, so as to frighten nearby villages.
Bandits who massacre an entire village are often maniacal and inhumane. There are very few bandits like this!
But no matter how little it is, it still exists!
Once this kind of bandit appears, he will never just massacre a village!
The purpose of Dong Dawei running over was to plead with Zhao Wuji to protect the villagers in Xiaohe Village from this kind of bandit in the next week.
Regarding his request, Zhao Wuji fell into deep thought.
It was originally according to Brother Wang's arrangement.
He borrowed the identity of "Changchun" and after recuperating in Xiaohe Village for a few days, he was about to leave for Parrot Island immediately.
But in order to repair and transform acupuncture points, he stayed in Xiaohe Village for more than a month!
If he promises to protect Xiaohe Village.
This means that there is a certain probability that he will come into contact with bandits.
by that time.
The identity of "Changchun" would be at risk of being exposed.
After all, given the importance of the "Qianlong Hall quota", the Zhao family will definitely issue a wanted order!
He himself is not afraid of the Zhao clan.
But in Xiaohe Village, it’s hard to say.
There are times after all.
The huge clan power is much more terrifying than bandits!
Seeing that Zhao Wuji remained silent, Dong Dawei gritted his teeth, took out a black package from his arms, stood up, and said, "As long as you are willing to help, I will give this to you!"
Zhao Wuji came back from his thoughts and looked at Dong Dawei's hands with some curiosity.
That's when.
Dong Dawei opened the black package, revealing the exquisite glass bottle inside, and said again: "This is the 'primary recovery potion' that I have treasured for a long time. It is very effective for the injury on your right hand!"
His voice fell to the ground.
Zhao Wuji gave him a thoughtful look.
It was precisely this that made Dong Dawei's old face suddenly turn red.
As early as when Zhao Wuji 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 had only been treated briefly. If he didn't take good care of it, there was a risk of infection.
Zhao Wuji remembers it.
At that time, Dong Dawei repeatedly assured that, except for some herbs, there were no medicines at all in the remote villages!
But now.
What is the bottle of "primary recovery potion" in his hand?
Seeing that Zhao Wuji was silent for a long time, Dong Dawei panicked.
If he had known that this would happen later, he would have given this bottle of potion to Zhao Wuji anyway.
But his old director has no ability to predict the future!
Dong Dawei carefully placed the potion on the ground, slapped his face hard, and said apologetically: "It's all my fault, I was blinded by lard..."
"What are you doing?"
He was interrupted by Zhao Wuji just in the middle of what he said.
I saw Zhao Wuji holding his right arm, frowning and saying: "If you keep acting like this, I won't help!"
Zhao Wuji's voice fell to the ground, and Dong Dawei's eyes were immediately filled with hope!
More than an hour later.
After Zhao Wuji watched Dong Dawei leave, he shook his head and closed the door.
Apart from the "primary recovery potion" thing, Dong Dawei is still a very good person. The reason why his right hand can be cared for so well is thanks to the herbs Dong Dawei sends him on weekdays.
Otherwise, Zhao Wuji would not agree to his request!
Regarding the potion, it is not that Zhao Wuji cannot understand it.
After all, for an ordinary person.
It is perfectly normal to regard a bottle of "primary recovery potion" as a family heirloom. That thing is in Yong'an City, but it is a precious item sold in limited quantities!
