"I felt the wind that was holding me back moving."
Almost every household in the village lit up, and candles and lamps that had been reluctant to light were turned on. Through the people who participated and those who were being mobilized, almost everyone in the village knew that a big shot was here today.
People in the villages, which were warm during the day and chilly at night, suddenly couldn't care less about the cold once they heard many things related to them.
If someone at home was called over, they would get up in a hurry. If they didn't leave, the others would be living in their own homes, and they would all be extremely excited.
No one noticed that there was some noise in the cold wind tonight.
The figure in the woods, under the dark cloak that obscured his face, was a pair of amber vertical pupils that faintly reflected light in the moonlight.
From the body of the figure shrouded in black robes, a faint consciousness floated out slowly, like an illusory black shadow. It was originally inconspicuous. Now in the darkness without light, it is even more silent and no one can Discover.
The black shadow drifted along the road in the darkness, and came to the courtyard wall along the way. Finally, it rolled over the wall and stood silently in front of the window.
The entire dilapidated yard was boarded up with wooden boards. The windows were placed with specially thickened wooden bars, and the interior was blocked by boards made of wooden bars.
In the gaps between the wooden boards of these windows, figures quietly observed what was happening in the room.
Although the village chief was groveling in front of Wang Xing just now, he was the absolute overlord in the village. After arriving in the yard, he opened the door directly and asked his family by name to contribute to the village.
"Your existence has offended the church many times. If I hadn't protected you, you would have died of hunger long ago because you were living in the wilderness. What happened this time was because you drank too much and provoked a big shot. I have already told you Well, you can only stay after you admit your mistake, otherwise I will not continue to indulge you!"
The man who had been dragging his wife and yelling in the yard now took off his hat obediently, lowered his head, and nodded once he heard a word.
After hearing that he needed to dedicate his eldest daughter to the family, the man finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Mei is mine. He has been cultivated for so many years. With his appearance, he can find a good person to serve him even if he goes to the city."
"Yes, she is very beautiful, but where is this place! Can you walk there? Since you want her to go to the city so much, how about you deal with the beasts around the village and escort her away?"
The village chief slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Don't forget, it was you who knelt in front of my door, desperately trying to stay here, and it was I who blocked the church's accountability for you! When everyone is giving, you still Use your little tricks here!"
It hurt to be insulted, and the man's skinny fingers held the hat tightly, but the reality was before him. He didn't have the ability to leave, so he could only grit his teeth and lower his head and yell: "Go, let Mei and the village chief leave!"
Mei, who was leaning against the door, looked pale. Although she worked hard to help her family with various farm chores every day, she could still hear that almost every day two people in the family were heading towards sending him away.
She had known for a long time that she would be taken away. But when the day when she was really sent away never came, she was still able to hold on, but now, all the feelings she had towards her family collapsed.
Nervous footsteps came from outside the door, and she could easily tell that it was her mother.
Knowing her next fate, Mei felt as if someone was watching her from the other side of the window.
Suddenly withdrawing from the trance, Mei wiped away her tears with the clean part of her sleeve, took a few steps forward, no longer blocking the door with her back, rubbed her face, and turned around.
Crunch~
The door opened, and Mei's mother came over and whispered a few words of comfort, then asked Mei to leave quickly with the village chief.
"You must remember to listen carefully to the words of the village chief and those big shots, work diligently, and do whatever is asked of you..."
Mei didn't remember much of the nagging words and the village chief's comfort. After she reacted in a panic, she was taken to take a hot bath and put on new clothes.
Everyone else had left, leaving her to go to the stone house in the middle of the village and take good care of the adults who were taking a bath.
Mei walked on the quiet wooden board. The newly felled and cut wood felt stiff when walking on it, unlike the attic of his house, where the wooden boards creaked when stepped on.
But as he gradually approached the door to greet her future, he vaguely heard something.
"who?"
A strong voice came from the house.
Mei froze and was stunned for two seconds. She was about to speak when suddenly she heard the sound of something heavy being slapped. Mei was very familiar with it. When the younger brother and younger sister at home were playing, they would always pull up the wooden board behind the window and slam the up and down wooden board into the window frame.
It's just that the sound here sounds duller. It's not the sound of wood hitting each other, but the sound of wood hitting stone.
Then, just as Mei opened her mouth, a strange burst of laughter reached her ears even through the stone wall and thick wooden door.
"Didn't I already tell you that this area is our territory, so why are there still people here who don't care about life and death?"
'what sound? Mei subconsciously stepped lightly, and quietly walked towards the door. Only then did she notice that the thick wooden door was not completely closed, but a crack was exposed.
On the other side of the door crack, there are oil lamps and candles scattered throughout the room. It must be bright. As you move left and right along the door crack, you can see the detailed furnishings in the house along a vertical crack.
A luxurious bed, a spacious space, a burning fireplace, exquisite tables and chairs that the carpenters in the village have not been able to make for many years, covered with gorgeous red cloth, and some fruits and meats for eating and drinking, placed on several silver plates among.
'How luxurious! '
Mei thought so, but as her eyes continued to move to the right, she suddenly discovered that the board on the other side of the window was hung by a thick thing that looked like a snake with a thick wrist.
His eyes continued to move here. Next to the snake-like thing, it was not a snake at all, but a mass of smoke, but with black and red flesh. You could see the outline of thick muscles that were not human-like but must be strong. .
Although Mei had already felt fear, there was an inexplicable voice in her heart that seemed to tell her that if she could continue to watch, she must continue to see what this thing was!
Then Mei's eyes continued to move to the right, where she saw thick muscular legs that were one meter and a half tall, with three toes thicker than cucumbers supporting her body.
