The good man Cao Dashan specializes in rescuing craftsmen, both poor and in emergencies. Tao Baye lost his legs and disfigured his face. He wanted to die, but was saved by Cao Yuanhong and Cao Dashan.
Teach him the art of puppetry and make him a pair of relatively flexible prosthetic legs.
Tao Baye didn't want to go back to Tao's house. Faced with the strange looks from the people around him, he just wanted to hide away from the world and live in seclusion in a place where no one knew him.
At that time, Cao Yuanhong died of a sudden illness. Some people who came to express their condolences hit it off and spontaneously formed a group to build a village in the mountains.
Tao Baye went into the mountains with them, and it was Cao Yuanhong who asked him to open up his heart and let go of many things that he could not let go, such as the estrangement between him and his only relative.
Before entering the mountain, Master Tao Ba sent a letter to Master Wu, one to report safety and the other to reconcile.
The two brothers have been separated for many years. The difference is that one wants to atone for the family and the other wants to escape.
He has become permanently disabled, and Fifth Master did not insist on asking him to go back.
On the contrary, Tao Wuye thought that it was a good thing for him to live in seclusion in the mountains. Maybe he could leave a way out for the Tao family in the future.
Therefore, Tao Wuye only said that he had cut off contact with Ba Ye, and his family was not allowed to mention Ba Ye.
Just to reduce exposure and keep him safe for the rest of his life.
However, the world is so big that there is no place for Jianghu people.
No matter where you hide, you will be found one day.
Not only Tao Baye, but also other people in the village are more or less burdened with secrets and grievances.
That's why they set up traps in the village and are very wary of outsiders.
The secluded life hides the body, but the heart is always hanging and waiting.
Tao Baye waited for what he was supposed to do, and he frankly said that the moment he saw A Bao, he knew that the jackal would eventually come looking for him.
"Did Mr. Tao really hide the Dragon Palace Order back then?" Guard Jia asked bluntly.
"No, it was really robbed. My father was ready to die together with our brothers, but the employer's attitude was really weird. When he heard that the things had been robbed, he not only didn't kill us, but also gave us the money after the transaction was completed. The money has been replenished.”
"Could it be that he used the Wan Bodyguard Bureau as a cover and arranged for the person who robbed the things?"
"I don't know." Tao Baye was silent and shook his head.
"But during the Great Tribulation of Yuancheng, someone found the Fifth Master again and asked him to keep the Dragon Palace Order." I said based on various guesses.
"Yes, at that time, without that person's help, none of Fifth Brother's family... could have escaped."
The price for leaving a glimmer of hope for the Tao family was to keep the Dragon Palace Order for that person.
It's not transportation, it's storage. After Yuancheng's business is finished, the man will take the things back.
This is also the reason why Tao Wuye returned to his hometown for the first time and guarded it every day.
He keeps things for others. Although the escort agency is gone, his professionalism is still there.
But not long ago, he learned the news that his employer was dead. He relaxed for a while and was caught by the Haizha Gang who massacred the village.
Insiders of the Tao family only knew that Fifth Master Tao had taken an escort, but the specific details were unknown. Even the confidants around Fifth Master did not know.
It is estimated that Tao Wuye did not expect that the Haisha Gang would continue to hold on to the events of the past, and believed that the Dragon Palace Order was still in the Tao family without any evidence.
The process was tortuous, and Dragon Palace Ling was indeed absent from the Tao family for more than ten years.
But it happened to be there when the Haisha Gang was preparing to massacre the village.
But Fifth Master Tao finally saved a trick. He sent the Dragon Palace Order to Eight Masters for safekeeping. He passed it through an ordinary post station and sandwiched it between hometown specialties and a letter from home. No insurance fee was paid. No one would have thought that there was something hidden inside. Such an important thing.
After hearing the whole story, Guard Jia couldn't help but sigh: "Your family is really destined to the Dragon Palace Order. Could it be that... we are destined to have a destiny with the crooked-mouthed Dragon King?"
I deeply agree with this statement. The Dragon Palace Order specially caught the hair of a sheep of the Tao family, and three generations were affected by it. This thing is undoubtedly an unlucky thing for the Tao family.
Tao Baye Ming said: "Once the things have been given away, I will never take them back. Fame, wealth, and the truth are not important to me. I just hope that A Bao can grow up safely and have a smooth life."
"What will they do next?" I opened the door and saw that bodies were being disposed of in various courtyards. The villagers won this time, but what about the future?
Once trouble starts, it keeps coming.
"The Haicha Gang kills people based on conjecture and no evidence. I'm afraid your village is no longer safe." Guard Jia glanced at me and saw that I didn't stop him, then said, "It's better to go to Treasure Island."
"No matter where you go, trouble will always follow you. Maybe only by handing over my old life will the Haisha Gang stop."
"What are you talking about? They won't let Ah Bao go without you. You are Ah Bao's only living relative. Don't you want to see him grow up?" Guard Jia carried Ah Bao and walked to Master Tao Bao. around.
The baby fat on A Bao's face has not receded yet, and he is raised by Tao Wuye like a baby bump. He looks so adorable, with white and tender flesh, like a doll in a New Year painting. Everyone who sees it likes and sympathizes with it. What happened to him.
"Don't worry, our young lady encountered more troubles than the last, but she still managed to survive! In the face of absolute strength, all troubles are just paper tigers. Treasure Island is definitely a good place for you to feel at ease!"
I felt that Guard Jia was going to start selling the house next, so I quickly raised my hand to stop him from continuing.
Although what he said was not serious, the truth was correct.
The Haicha Gang would never stop after killing him, and they would not stop until the Tao family was completely wiped out.
Even if the Dragon Palace Order is handed over now, it may not be able to gain life.
You have to decide who you talk to when it comes to reasoning. The Haisha Gang is obviously not a reasonable organization.
"Now it's not your problem alone. The villagers have been involved. If you want to leave, we can all leave together. But I think everyone should make their own choice whether to leave or stay." To respect the fate of others, of course, we must give them the right to choose freely.
Guard Jia has good intentions and wants to take in these villagers who have been innocently affected by the Dragon Palace Order. It depends on their personal choice whether they want to be helped or not.
We are strangers to the villagers and cannot talk to each other. Tao Baye has to step in to ask for opinions.
I guess he also has concerns. If he and Abao leave and the Haisha Gang comes to settle accounts, the only ones who will be cheated will be other villagers.
As the cause of the disaster, he couldn't just pat his butt and leave with A Bao.
Hearing that I wanted to take the villagers with me, he was still moved, so without hesitation, he went out to the outside of the courtyard and invited the villagers to come to the village chief's house for a meeting.
Cao Dashan's craftsmanship is really good. Apart from Tao Baye's slow walking speed, he has no other problems. It can be seen that the prosthetic legs are very well done.
Guard Jia stayed at Ba Ye's house with A Bao in his arms, while Ba Ye and I went to the village chief's house for a meeting.
Ba Ye first told the story about the Dragon Palace Order. The killers from the Haisha gang came just to seize the Dragon Palace Order.
Now that the killer is dead in the village, regardless of whether the Dragon Palace Order is handed over or not, there is a blood feud between the village and the Haisha Gang.
The only thing left to face is the massacre of the village, and there is still a chance of survival if they move.
Although the villagers can make mechanisms, they cannot do martial arts, and their number is limited.
Moreover, tonight the villagers were better off by being caught off guard. If the incident happened a second time, the village would definitely be wiped out.
After Master Ba finished speaking, let me talk. I will mainly talk about the situation of Treasure Island. The current conditions are there. Everything has just begun, and the living supporting facilities are also gradually being improved.
In any case, the conditions are better than those of Dashanren Tomb Village.
The life here is too primitive and focuses on poverty.
"I'm not a good person, but there are two things I can guarantee. First, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, there will be better development opportunities on the basis of meeting the needs of food and clothing; second, I will guarantee the safety issue."
"Are you very good at martial arts?" A young man supported an old woman and questioned my strength.
"Martial arts...are average, but I can use strange poisons. It's not a problem to deal with a thousand or eight hundred people at the same time."
"boast!"
"How is that possible?"
"This man is not telling the truth!"
Faced with the villagers' doubts about me, Tao Baye cleared his throat and said:
"She is the deputy leader of the Demon Cult and the sister of Ximen Wuhen."
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately silence.
"The Treasure Island she was talking about was Biyi Island, and it is now owned by her. She destroyed the entire Biyi sect by herself." Tao Baye increased the pressure again. The villagers' eyes widened instantly, and they all focused on me. Look at me.
"It's all trivial, not worth mentioning." I waved my hand, hoping they wouldn't be too surprised, because after landing on the island, they would hear even more scary 'rumors'.
From their reactions, I could tell they had made a decision.
Since the mountains are no longer safe, it might be a good idea to change places.
Besides, this is not their home. When they were performing arts, they also traveled around and had no fixed residence.
As the saying goes, if you move a tree to death, you will move a person to life. If they didn't understand this truth, they wouldn't come to guard Cao Dashan's grave.
Since it was to avoid being hunted for revenge, the move should not be delayed.
Fortunately, there was nothing they needed to move at home. There was no need to bring the broken pots, bowls, tables and chairs with missing legs.
It's good if one person can scrape together two pairs of clothes, and the thin ones are even more pitiful.
There are only some things that they regard as treasures and have to take them with them no matter what, which is the guy they once relied on for food.
I saw that there was a puppet show performer, and a box of puppets was already in tatters, but they would rather give up their own bed rolls to carry the box on their backs.
Tao Baye had more things. He packed out two large bags of magic props, plus the puppet hidden in the haystack.
There were no large livestock in the village, so the villagers slaughtered the chickens raised at home, and the whole village gathered together to have a full meal.
Then I took my family with me and my escort Jia and I went out of the mountain.
I made it clear to them that those who don’t want to go to Treasure Island can leave on their own and I will pay for the trip.
Originally, I thought someone would make a different sound. They were attacked entirely because of our arrival and Tao Baye's identity.
There is nothing wrong with complaining about this, but none of them complained, as if Tao Baye's matter was their matter.
The villagers are surprisingly united, like a whole, a team.
The decision to move to Treasure Island was unanimously approved by everyone.
The island is short of people, and it is not easy to move from other places. Ordinary people in this world also pay attention to the fact that they never leave their homeland.
Therefore, those who are willing to work and live on the island are those who have encountered problems in their original lives and cannot survive where they are, so they are willing to try another place.
