When he returned to the village, the old man with a broken car was greeting the villagers affectionately. It was obvious that the villagers quickly accepted them because of Ye Chong and Rui Bing's timely rescue. Some aunts held Rui Bing's hand and said something from time to time. Rui Bing's face, which was as cold as ice and snow, turned slightly red and lowered her head with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing Ye Chong coming back, Rui Bing hurriedly greeted him.
Ye Zhong shook his head: "I was escaped by that guy, but he also took a beating from me."
Rui Bing couldn't help but feel slightly surprised. She knew very well what Ye Zhong's skills were. The opponent was actually able to escape from his hands. He was quite capable. Moreover, she knew Ye Zhong's fighting style. If he didn't completely eliminate the enemy, he would definitely be unkind. Just give it up.
Seeing Rui Bing's confusion, Ye Zhong said, "I was also surprised that he disappeared as soon as he entered the jungle."
A young man next to him said: "This must be your first time fighting against child predators. Child predators are very good at hiding their bodies. The more complex the environment, the more powerful they are." Ye Zhong's His skill was noticed by these villagers, and everyone looked at him with admiration in their eyes.
With a sound, Ye Zhong couldn't help but ask: "What do child predators do?"
Almost all the villagers looked surprised, and one of them asked strangely: "Don't you know about child predators?"
The old man with the broken car hurriedly ran over and said haha: "These friends of mine have lived in remote places since they were young. They don't know anything. Hey, there is no other way. They insist on dragging me to take them out to see them. Haha, I So I have no choice but to bring them out to see them. If there is anything presumptuous about it, please don’t follow them."
The villagers suddenly realized that one of them, an old man who looked quite old, smiled heartily and said: "Haha, you are too polite. If it weren't for you this time, these child predators would have succeeded. This little brother My skills are really good, even better than the old man and I when I was young, and this little girl is also pretty good."
The old man who broke the car explained to Ye Zhong and others: "Child predators have been around for decades. No one knows who they are or what kind of organization they are. They will secretly rob children with potential." Children, these children don’t know where they have taken them. A group of children disappear every year. These child predators are all extremely skilled. Many people don’t understand what they are doing to rob children. If they If the recruitment of disciples is open, countless parents will definitely send their children to them."
"Yes!" The uncle sighed: "With their skills, if they go to recruit disciples, countless people will definitely squeeze in and get in. There is also a saying among people. It can be seen by child predators. The qualifications of the children must be very outstanding. These child predators are very discerning. I didn't expect that there are children in our village that the child predators can take advantage of." After saying this, the uncle looked at Ye Chong with burning eyes.
"Haha, congratulations to your village. When these two little guys grow up in the future, your conditions will definitely be improved. Hey, it's a pity that we still have things to do. Otherwise, it would be better to take these two little guys as apprentices. That's all." The old man with a broken car declined politely.
The uncle couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment, but he still said cheerfully: "Oh, they naturally have their green identity, so we old guys don't need to worry about it. Seeing that you have been on the road for a long time, go inside and have a rest." Drink some water, and we two old guys can have a good chat."
The old man with the broken car smiled and said: "Okay, okay, old man, I haven't been out and about for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is outside, so I just want to ask for advice!"
The villagers were very enthusiastic and surrounded Ye Zhong and his party as they entered the village.
Looking at the dilapidated houses, Ye Chong and others were speechless. They finally understood how low the productivity here was as mentioned by the old man. They almost thought they had entered a primitive society, where there was no trace of modern technology at all. Primitive fishing nets, as well as forks and guns that can only be seen in history museums, wooden seats, and stoneware bowls and basins, and the lamps on the walls burn fish fat, and you can smell a faint smell when you enter the house. of fragrance.
What caught Ye Zhong's eyes the most was the wall tiles in this house. These wall tiles were all made of bluestone, and the cutting marks could be clearly seen on them. These wall tiles were actually cut from large pieces of bluestone by manual labor. This was remarkable. How much manpower does it cost? Ye Chong finally understood why everything was based on human strength.
Anyone who can make this wall tile is definitely not an expert. It is not easy to cut through the bluestone simply by relying on brute force.
The women brought bowls of water and enthusiastically handed them to everyone. Ye Zhong took the bowl and took a sip. Although it had some earthy smell, it was exceptionally sweet. Ye Zhong couldn't help but drink it in one go. The others, like him, also drank it in one go. , the women carrying the water suddenly beamed and were very happy.
The old man with the broken car was chatting with the villagers.
"Brother, are child predators so rampant now?" the old man asked.
"This is the first time we have encountered this kind of situation. If it weren't for everyone's help, I'm afraid these two children would never see their parents again. Nowadays, the prevention of large tribes is stricter, so they target Put them in small villages like ours. Alas, we are useless. If there are one or two masters, we won't be so passive. These two little guys will be sent to the big tribes in the future. There is no future for them to follow us." said an older man.
The surrounding villagers all looked ashamed.
The old man who broke the car quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't feel guilty. These things cannot be forced. Fortunately, everyone is more alert. Otherwise, there would be nothing we can do if we meet."
"The same thing happened to nearby villages recently. The Wang family has already sent greetings to all nearby villages, so we are prepared. Hey, we will send them both to the Wang family in the past two days. There are many experts in the Wang family, and they can also learn from it. Some skills. Children who can be spotted by child predators will never go undesired." Another villager said, but he seemed to have some grudge against Ye Zhong for not accepting these two children as his disciples. The children who can be caught by child predators have very outstanding qualifications. It is also an ideal candidate for taking on a disciple.
The old man who broke the car was quite embarrassed: "They are still young and don't want to accept disciples so early."
The eldest man shouted displeased: "Awei, why are you talking?"
The villager's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and he also understood that what he just said was inappropriate.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Let's just chat." The old man from the broken car came out to smooth things over, and then changed the topic: "I wonder who the Wang family is that I am talking about? I remember that when I came here thirty years ago, there seemed to be no Wang family."
"It turns out that my brother came here thirty years ago. I said, we moved here twenty years ago. All the original villagers here have left. I don't know where they went. The Wang family is the second family we moved here. They moved here in 2000. This is a big tribe, I heard there are 800,000 people. I don’t know why they moved here, and they rarely interact with us nearby villagers. But since they moved here, The neighborhood here is much quieter, no one dares to run wild here anymore, and our life is much better," said the elderly villager.
The old man who broke the car was slightly surprised: "Oh, such a big tribe, 800,000 people, is really not small."
"No, the Wang family is also full of experts. Last time, a bandit of more than 300 people came to this area. The Wang family only sent 50 people and killed none of the 300 people. That method was really cruel. Not a single one was left behind. We also made a special trip to Buffalo Ridge, where a very large dirt bag was piled up, but after that time, no bandits dared to come again." A villager said with a smile on his face.
The old man couldn't help but frown. Dealing with such a large tribe required great caution.
Seemingly sensing Old Man Che's doubts, the older villager said: "Don't worry, the Wang family generally doesn't pay much attention to outsiders. As long as you don't provoke them, nothing will happen. And the Wang family are quite kind to others." , if we need their help in any place, they will definitely agree if we come to ask for help. Moreover, Wang's Zhuangzi is also the largest market within a radius of 300 kilometers. Whatever you want to buy, you can definitely buy it there. What do you want to sell? As for things, the Wang family’s purchase prices are relatively fair, much better than those unscrupulous dealers. Ever since the Wang family moved here, everything we have will be sold at Wangjiazhuang."
"That's good, that's good." The old man nodded repeatedly: "It seems that the Wang family is not bad, and some big tribes are really domineering."
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "I heard that a child predator was encountered in your village, and the five members of the Wang family and Wang Meng were specially ordered to come to support."
As soon as the Wang family was mentioned, the Wang family came.
The elderly man immediately went out, and five men lined up outside the village. What surprised Ye Chong and others the most was that each of them was carrying a cold weapon. These five people all wore blue fighting uniforms, and they looked majestic and heroic.
From Ye Zhong's perspective, he could tell that the skills of these five men should not be underestimated.
