No wonder it felt familiar to me just now.
Seeing this bronze bell, Zhao Tianming remembered everything.
That dream was too real, and he had had that dream more than once.
In the dream, he saw his mother killing many people with one sword.
It turns out that I actually came here...
Zhao Tianming was a little excited and his mood was extremely complicated.
Could this be the will of God?
Is this my mother's choice?
Mom made a mistake here, are you here to atone?
Or, is this dad's arrangement?
At this time, the sun was setting, children were playing in the village, and smoke was rising from every house.
Zhao Tianming stood there, looking at the bronze bell as if he was dumbfounded.
Hongyu felt that Zhao Tianming was not following him, so she turned back to look at him, followed his line of sight, and saw the bell.
"Are you OK?"
she asked.
Zhao Tianming came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "It's okay."
At this moment, in the distance, a group of children ran over, staring at Zhao Tianming curiously, and then dispersed in a crowd.
But soon, all the villagers ran out, dozens in total, and they all gathered around.
Then, more villagers came, totaling more than a hundred, and they all looked at Zhao Tianming and Hongyu with hostility.
"Hongyu, you actually brought an outsider back to the village. Have you forgotten what the village chief said?"
Someone asked.
"That's right, Hongyu, you've gone too far."
"Do you want to bring disaster to our village?"
"She has no good intentions."
…
Faced with the accusations from these people, Hongyu did not argue.
She seemed very calm.
Finally, someone spoke for Hongyu.
"Don't bully Sister Hongyu. If anyone dares to scold her again, I will beat them up."
A man who looked like an iron tower jumped out and stood in front of Hong Yu, shouting at everyone with red eyes.
"Tieniu, are you crazy?"
"Tieniu, I know you like Hongyu, but you must also understand that this matter is not trivial. The village chief said that no outsiders are allowed to enter the village, which will bring disaster to us."
"Yes, have you forgotten what happened back then? Tieniu, have you forgotten how your parents died back then?"
No matter what everyone said, Tieniu firmly protected Hongyu behind him.
It can be seen that he is a little naive, but he takes Hongyu very seriously.
"Don't make any noise. I have already informed the village chief. He will be here soon. Let him make a decision after he comes."
Soon, an old man hurried over from a distance with a few people. Although he was young, his steps were steady and as fast as flying. Zhao Tianming could tell at a glance that he was a cultivator.
However, the level is average.
He was also the only cultivator at this time.
The old man had silver hair and a gloomy face. He came closer and saw Zhao Tianming at a glance. He immediately frowned and said, "Hongyu, what's going on? Who is he? Why did you bring him here? You forgot what I decided. Have you behaved yourself?"
Zhao Tianming didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but his eyes were blank.
Of course he wasn't really confused, he was just acting.
I've lost my memory.
Gotta act a little bit demented.
He looks stupid now, like an iron bull.
Seeing the village chief coming, Hongyu spoke: "His name is Abu."
ah?
Zhao Tianming was stunned.
When did you call yourself Abu?
Hongyu continued: "Oh, I gave him this name. I went fishing today and found him on the sea. He was unconscious at the time. Finally, it was discovered that he had lost his memory and could not remember his name at all. He is from somewhere and he has nowhere to go, so I will bring him back to stay temporarily, and when he remembers, I will send him away from here."
Facing the village chief, Hongyu still did not show weakness.
Zhao Tianming suddenly discovered that Hongyu had a very stubborn character.
Tieniu looked at Zhao Tianming.
Just now, Zhao Tianming noticed that although Tieniu helped Hongyu speak, his eyes actually looked a little wary, but now, his eyes were full of sympathy.
This person can handle it!
Zhao Tianming couldn't help but smile and nodded at Tieniu.
Tieniu also smiled naively.
The village chief stared at Zhao Tianming and frowned: "I can see that you seem to be a warrior. Are you a cultivator?"
Zhao Tianming shook his head: "I don't know, I forgot."
The village chief stared at the hilt of the sword in Zhao Tianming's arms and said, "Are you carrying a sword?"
Taking out the dragon-slaying sword, Zhao Tianming said: "When I woke up, I found that I had this sword in my hand. However, although I can't remember what happened before, I do remember this sword as if it was from when I was a child. Just follow me, it should be my family heirloom.”
"Do you know any swordsmanship? Why don't you demonstrate it?"
"Won't."
Zhao Tianming denied it on the spot.
He's not stupid.
Besides, he no longer cares about sword skills. To be honest, his starting point is very high.
The village chief stared at Zhao Tianming and suddenly slapped him with his palm.
Zhao Tianming instinctively wanted to take action, but he held back.
boom!
He was slapped and flew away, landing several feet away. His mouth began to bleed, and he looked miserable.
It's all pretend.
In fact, he was not seriously injured.
But now, I can only continue to act.
The village chief was startled.
Everyone was also stunned.
Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhao Tianming up. She said to the village chief: "Village chief, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. He has lost his memory. It's very pitiful. I have agreed to let him stay temporarily." In my house, help me with the work, why would you hurt him?"
The village chief sighed: "I didn't want to hurt him. I just wanted to test him. I didn't expect that I actually hurt him. But, Hongyu, have you forgotten what happened in our village decades ago?" , you were still very young at that time, and your family members died at the hands of that witch, have you forgotten? Outsiders are very dangerous."
"Of course I haven't forgotten it, but it has nothing to do with Abu. He didn't exist at that time. Besides, he was very pitiful."
As soon as the village chief arrived, everyone immediately stopped.
No one dared to speak.
It can be seen that the village chief is the supreme existence here.
However, the village chief seems to be very accommodating to Hongyu.
"Hongyu, you can't do this, let me send him out, how about it?"
"Village chief, for the sake of my grandfather's love back then, let him stay."
Ruby suddenly said.
Immediately, the village chief changed his mind. He was a little surprised: "You have really thought about it. Yes, I owed your family a favor back then, but are you sure you want to use this favor?"
"I've thought about it, I can't just watch him go out and wander, and for him, this is the best place to recuperate. I believe he will soon remember the past things. When the time comes, I will naturally Will send him away."
Hongyu's attitude was very firm.
The village chief shook his head and said bitterly: "Okay, in that case, it's up to you, but tell him not to run around. If he dares to hurt people in the village, don't blame me for being merciless."
