Xu Chengcheng was even more polite and asked: "Thank you, how much is it?"
The old woman didn't mind, and said: "No need for money, it's just a piece of cake. Just think of it as compensation for the mistake I just made to hit Zhang Ruoxu, and I'll make it up to you! Okay, you go quickly. I'm afraid there will be more things to come. I won't wait any longer." You will also suffer the disaster together if we go down, and those villagers may think that we are mixed together!"
After saying that, we left. Looking at the strong Tu Nian and the scrawny old woman, we really felt sad for them. Just because one is a monster and the other is a monster mother, are they so discriminated against? In my opinion, the monster Tu Nian is kinder than humans.
While walking on the road, Xu Chengcheng asked: "Junior Brother Yangsheng, are we just leaving like this? Look at how pitiful their mother and son are! Do we really just ignore them?"
"What do you care about? How do you care about it?"
"People in the village all believe that kind-hearted Tu Nian is a monster. This is a misunderstanding. Tu Nian is very kind! Even though Tu Nian is so big, his personality is very docile. !”
I said thoughtfully: "Originally, the monster has the upper hand in terms of physical strength and size, but it has a cowardly personality, so it is angry. Only the people in the village will take out their anger on it, right? Tu Nian Since you are the child of humans and monsters, you must have awareness and endurance to survive! Monsters are originally aliens in the human circle, and it is not easy to survive in a circle where they are not accepted."
We walked for a while and saw many people taking out hoes and sharpened bamboo tubes, and they were still calling for more weapons to come over.
A leader said: "Take out all our guys, no problem. With so many of us and such sharp weapons, we can definitely kill the monster outside the village."
When we saw the whole situation, we felt bad, so we walked over. The little man who led us to Tu Nian's house was tremblingly muttering to himself: "We have to kill Tu Nian before he gets angry..." He...must...come to an end tonight."
Seeing how hopeless he looked, I said, "You're the only one going to fight monsters."
Then, I shouted to them: "Are you going to kill Tu Nian? I advise you to give up. First, it is not a murderer, but a kind monster. Don't despise it just because it is a monster; second, The monsters are much more powerful than you, and you cannot be a match."
Xu Chengcheng added: "Besides, you have no evidence that it killed people. Is it just because it is a monster?"
The person who took the lead stood up and said: "I am the branch secretary of this village. Let me tell you anything. If it wasn't the person Tu Nian killed, who else could it be? How could ordinary people give people's heads alive?" What about the one under the car? So, that guy is definitely not at fault. You don’t have to defend it. It’s a lice on a bald man’s head. It’s obvious. Moreover, the people in our village have bullied them for so long. This mother and son have long since They have been holding a grudge against us for more than a day or two. They must have killed people in our village and took this opportunity to take revenge on us."
After listening to what they said, I felt very ridiculous. I was clearly a villain, but I blamed others. I looked at them angrily and said, "You are self-aware. You are the one who bullied Tu Nian and his mother so miserably, but instead I want to put the blame on others. What should I say to you? Is it really that difficult for you to accept a monster that will do you no harm at all? I can tell you responsibly that Tu Nian is not a murderous monster. If you don’t believe it, leave it to me and my senior brother. If you don’t catch the real murderous monster, you will never let it go, and you will still find trouble with Tu Nian.”
"A monster that really kills people? You said it so easily. Can you really find out the culprit? Besides Tu Nian, who else is a monster around here? I think..." The village party secretary still looked self-righteous, and was suddenly Xu Chengcheng slapped him.
"You idiots, we have already said that we must catch the real murderer, what else do you think? It's really hard to tell you so much, Yang Sheng, let's go back to Tu Nian's house first, and wait to catch the monster at night. "
"Okay. I also ask you not to come and disturb Tu Nian and the others before we catch the monsters and come back. Because if you don't listen and make trouble, Tu Nian will really get mad and kill you like killing a chicken. This is not right. Is it just that the real murderer was taken advantage of? Be careful, the cruel monster behind the scenes will come back and cause chaos in your village." I said.
The village party secretary still looked contemptuous and said with distrust: "What's going on with you two boys? Why do I feel that you two are not so reliable? Have you been bribed by Tu Nian's mother and son to always speak for them? Good words.”
I was too lazy to explain, so I asked, "Where is the corpse you just brought back this morning? There is still some demonic energy left. Although it is very weak, I want to take a look first, and then go into the forest to catch the demon."
The village party secretary pointed to the nearest small brick house and said: "Go, it's right there. If you can really find the monster and catch it, we will never bother Tu Nian and the others again."
I didn't stop, I immediately entered the room, looked at the dead body, and then went into the forest alone after knowing what was going on.
I followed the scent, but found nothing, until I found several long and large centipedes in a small cave. Their evil spirit was what I was looking for. It seemed that the culprits were these guys.
So, he raised his knife and cut them into hundreds of pieces with the broken sword. Then he put all the centipede heads into the cloth bag and took them away.
After completing the task, I happily returned to Tu Nian's home. It happened that the mother and son were working in the medicine field, so I walked up and started chatting with them!
Seeing me coming, Tu Nian's mother said very gratefully: "Thank you for speaking out for our mother and son. If we really kill the murderer, then we won't be disturbed anymore."
"Don't worry, I've solved it, look!"
I took out the bag, and the heads of the centipede monsters fell out.
"Having the heads of these centipede monsters proves that they are the culprits, and proves that your son Tu Nian is not the murderer. Next, let me wait here for the villagers to come and let them slap me in the face."
"That's good, we two are a bit busy. Can you weed the grass for us?"
I happily agreed, walked to Tu Nian and started to weed carefully. I also looked at Tu Nian who was wearing cool clothes. There were scars all over his body. I really couldn’t figure out how he managed to survive being bullied by this group of brutal and violent villagers. I've lived for so long.
Looking at its longing eyes, I knew that it wanted to integrate into the human social circle and longed to be recognized, so I decided to have a chat with it.
"Tu Nian, you have lived here for so long, and you have been bullied by the people here for a long time. So, have you ever thought about leaving this sad place?"
After listening to my question, Tu Nian sat down and thought for a while and said: "I really wanted to leave, but I didn't think I was a monster. On the contrary, I thought I was a human being, because I have lived with humans since I was a child. I know how to be a monster. So, I stayed here. To be honest, I like it here now, especially this herbal field. These herbal techniques of mine were all given to me by my monster father. The green snake that has been cultivating in this mountain for thousands of years has eaten all kinds of plants within a hundred miles. Just like your human Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, it really tasted hundreds of herbs or even thousands of herbs, so I learned its herbal medicine. With our skills, we have opened up a large field of medicine here.”
"Really?" I asked symbolically, and couldn't help but sigh. Human beings think they are intelligent creatures, but they do not fully understand other creatures. Little do they know that the snake demon who has been practicing for thousands of years is the real herbal expert.
"Hmm... uh..." Tu Nian hesitated, but I knew it had questions to ask me.
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, just ask. You don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not the kind of Feng Shui Onmyoji who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong."
"Okay...I'm very grateful that you talked to me! This is the first time in my life that I have communicated so kindly with a human being. Ever since I returned to the village with my mother, they all bullied us, but you were the first to bully me. He is a friend, and he specializes in slaying demons."
"It's nothing. People also have good and bad, good and evil. Are all people necessarily good? Are all monsters necessarily bad? My view of right and wrong is very clear, and you will be accepted by humans soon. By the way, since you are a monster, you must be able to communicate better with animals."
Tu Nian stood up, took out a handful of rice from his arms and said, "Yes, no problem. There are many tits in this mountain, and they are all my friends. Look!"
After saying that, it imitated a bird call, and a large number of tits flew out of the forest. Many of them stood on its palms and kept pecking at the rice.
As a human being, I began to envy this monster. It seems that nature is more willing to accept these kind creatures, and humans are more like invaders, destroying nature...
Watching Tu Nian laugh, I can feel that he has truly realized what happiness is.
"Hey, come and have dinner!"
It turned out that it was Xu Chengcheng who was greeting us. He was not idle either. He helped prepare the meal and invited us into the house to eat...
