Compared with the village that Lin Haoming saw for the first time, this village was much smaller. After arriving here, he scanned the village and found that there were only a little more than 2,000 people.
The people living in the village are all Cao Hu's father's old tribe and family members. After several generations of reproduction, the village has grown from less than a hundred people to the current large scale. Among the nearby villages, it is not the largest.
, but it is not the smallest, it is considered medium-sized.
Now that the village has been passed down to the third generation, the owner of the village is no longer Cao Hu's father, but his nephew named Cao Meng. Although he is the elder brother, he is actually over forty years old and older than Cao Hu.
Big, the reason is also simple. Cao Hu was originally a very young child of his father. When he was born, Cao Meng, the eldest son and grandson, was already several years old. Cao Hu went to the temple, and soon his father passed on the position to him.
He had his eldest son, who had been the leader of the village for more than ten years, and then passed the position to his son.
Cao Meng has only been in charge of the village for a few years, but he is a very promising figure. Even the reason why the old village leader passed the throne to his father was because Cao Meng, who was only in his teens, had shown considerable talents.
Come, there is Cao Meng in the stronghold, and there is Cao Hu in the temple, so the stronghold can be stable for a long time.
As for his uncle who became a mage, when Cao Meng knew that Cao Hu was back, he naturally ran out to greet him.
Lin Haoming looked at Cao Meng. In Cao Hu's memory, Cao Meng was still a man in his thirties, but the Cao Meng in front of him had grown a beard and looked more majestic.
"Uncle is back, you have worked hard along the way." As the leader of the village, Cao Meng always said the same thing to others, but he respected the uncle of the mage. After all, the mage's status was extremely high. If the village did not have a mage to rely on, it would only be destroyed sooner or later.
matter.
"You and I don't need to be so polite. Is everything okay in the village? I haven't been back for more than ten years. The last time I came back, my eldest brother was still alive." Lin Haoming said deliberately.
"What my uncle said is that although my father is gone, everything in the village is now stable. There are more than two thousand people in the village, and there are more than three hundred warriors capable of fighting." Cao Meng said with a smile.
Lin Haoming actually knew this too. After all, he knew everything with a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, and three hundred warriors were indeed not too few. After all, there were old people, children, women, servants and slaves in the village.
There is a law in the Flower Clan Temple that people from the Flower Clan cannot be slaves in the Flower Clan, so the slaves are actually captured Feng Clan people, and the Feng Clan people can be bought and sold here, just like goods. Of course, if the Flower Clan people fall to the Feng Clan,
On the other side of the clan, the fate was similar.
Lin Haoming followed Cao Meng into the village.
Because Cao Hu hadn't been back for more than ten years, it was normal for him to be a little strange. Cao Meng also explained specifically at this time, which allowed Lin Haoming to avoid the possibility of being found to have problems.
After entering the village, Cao Meng soon took Lin Haoming to the residence specially arranged for this uncle.
The pavilion is very quiet, with only two selected maids waiting here.
"Uncle, you have been working hard along the way. Let's take a rest. My nephew will hold a banquet in the evening and let the children take care of you." Cao Meng said with a smile.
Lin Haoming, in accordance with Cao Hu's relatively withdrawn character, waved his hand and said: "I don't want it anymore. I don't like trouble. Where is the talented sister you mentioned? Just bring her to meet me."
"Yes!" Upon hearing Lin Haoming's words, Cao Meng immediately nodded in agreement.
In less than half an hour, Cao Meng brought an eleven or twelve-year-old girl to Lin Haoming.
"This is Cao Jing, her father's youngest daughter and the last child. After my father left, I accidentally discovered that she seemed to have the talent to become a mage." Cao Meng pointed at the girl and said.
Lin Haoming looked at this girl. She looked very beautiful, with a flawless face and big eyes. However, there was a bit of fear in her eyes. Of course, this was also because she was only a child. Even in Lin Haoming's view, women
The children are all relatively short. In Lin Haoming's impression, although Cao Hu's eldest brother is not burly, he is very tall. His daughter should not be too short.
"Little sister, call me uncle!" Cao Meng urged at this time.
"Uncle!" the girl shouted with a little fear.
Lin Haoming nodded and said, "Come here and let me see her condition!"
"Go!" After hearing Lin Haoming's instructions, seeing that the girl didn't dare to step forward, Cao Meng pushed her again.
The girl then arrived in front of Lin Haoming and looked at Lin Haoming timidly.
"Give me your hand!" Lin Haoming said softly.
Hearing this, the girl stretched out her white and tender hands.
Lin Haoming grabbed the girl's wrist and found that the girl's body was extremely cold. After a trace of spiritual energy penetrated, he soon raised his eyebrows slightly and found that the girl actually had a cold body.
Originally, Lin Haoming thought he was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect to meet someone with such qualifications here. He couldn't help but think deeply.
"Uncle, how is my little sister?" Cao Meng looked at Lin Haoming and thought for a long time. Seeing that it was getting dark, he asked aloud.
"Yes, she has very good qualifications!" Lin Haoming nodded.
"That's good. I asked the mage to see it before. The mage said that she has extraordinary qualifications. However, the specific situation can only be identified after going to the temple. Soon it will be time to send servants of gods to the temple from various places. I believe she can definitely be chosen.
." Cao Meng said with a smile.
"Keep her!" Lin Haoming said, indicating that Cao Meng could leave.
Cao Meng also immediately left with a smile, and before leaving, he told Cao Jing to listen carefully to Lin Haoming's words.
When Cao Meng left, Lin Haoming looked at the little girl and said, "How old are you?"
"Thirteen years old!" the girl replied with a hint of sadness.
Lin Haoming knew that this was a fictitious age, and one year old should be twelve years old, which is equivalent to a child in the sixth grade or the first year of junior high school, so he asked again: "Where is your mother?"
"Follow daddy!" Cao Jing replied very calmly.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming remembered that before each village, if a person like the village leader passed away, someone would be buried. Cao Jing's mother obviously did not receive attention because she only gave birth to one daughter. In addition, she may have
She is relatively young, so she was chosen to be buried. However, Cao Jing obviously still doesn't understand it at the moment, and even if she understands, she may not have any ideas, because whether it is the Flower Clan or the Wind Clan, the customs are like this, and even being buried is sometimes honorable.
Of course, the girl in front of her had a sad look in her eyes. It was obvious that she did not think her mother was glorious.
Lin Haoming looked at the girl in front of him, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked her: "Cao Jing, if you were given two choices, one to become a servant of the temple, and the other to become my disciple, what would you choose?"
