Although the items in the room are a bit old, they are obviously not abandoned and are neatly packed.
"Brother Yu, why are you so lazy today? I got up early at this time and got ready to go hunting with my father." Mai Mai looked at Yu Xing and waved her little hand in front of Yu Xing's eyes.
Yu Xing came to his senses and did not show any overt surprise at this situation. He knew that he had skipped time again.
It still jumps back.
Judging from Mai Mai's tone, it seems that he has lived in Lao Zhang's house for a long time at this time. Moreover, Mai Mai called his name, which means that he is in Lao Zhang's family at this time, and he should not have amnesia.
In other words, is he currently in a timeline that has not been affected by his amnesia? Did it happen in reality and what happened after he came to the small village without amnesia?
He looked down and saw that he was still wearing the black cardigan that the goddess asked him to wear, but Mai Mai did not show any surprise at his appearance, nor did she ask him why he wore it so tightly when sleeping.
Could it be that...these people's thinking is under the control of that "power" and their selective ignorance is reasonable?
"Brother Yu? If you stay in bed again, dad is about to leave!" At this time, Mai Mai spoke to him in a familiar and casual tone, which was much better than the timid tone when they first met.
Yu Xing shook his head, got up and got out of bed, and found that his hair was tied behind his head with a piece of cloth, which made it much easier to move around.
He replied: "Let's go right away."
If he jumped back to the past timeline, then this day must be meaningful, and he must take a good look at how it will benefit him in investigating the whole matter.
However, just when he was about to ask Maimai something, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
Yu Xing's ears twitched, his attention focused, and he vaguely heard the noisy content.
A male voice with an unfamiliar voice spoke in an unkind tone: "You only have more food here, so I'll lend you some meat. How stingy are you!?"
Then came the unconvinced voice of Lao Zhang's wife: "Are you borrowing it? Have you ever returned what you borrowed?"
The male voice shouted: "Your family's life is so good, what happened to the relief center?"
what happened?
Yu Xing glanced at Mai Mai, who looked a little uneasy, walked out of the bedroom, and saw Lao Zhang wiping a long bow that looked very thick.
Lao Zhang had an ax strapped to his waist, was dressed in smart clothes, and wore simple hard armor on important parts such as his chest, which fit Yu Xing's idea of a jungle hunter's attire.
At his feet was a soft tube that could be tied to his body. There were many wooden arrows inserted in it. Some of the arrows were still stained with dried blood. They must have been old arrows that had been shot before and the arrowheads were not damaged.
It was originally a very normal scene of getting ready to go hunting, but now, Lao Zhang frowned, looking a little annoyed and helpless as his wife quarreled with three or five men.
The men were either strong or thin, tall or short. The leader had a sharp mouth and a monkey's cheeks. He was glaring and said quite naturally: "Look at our village. Ever since it was built, we haven't even been able to get enough to eat.
So, Lao Zhang, your family can still hunt and replenish some meat, but what about us? We eat vegetables so much that birds almost fade out of our mouths! Just like this, it still costs money to order meat from your family? Which family in the next village is not better off than us?
"
"What's the use of asking for money? There's no place for you to spend money here! If you don't want to share, just say so. What excuses are you using... Haha, that's the kind of character your family has."
Lao Zhang's wife thrust her waist into her waist and cursed: "The money is saved for my daughter to go to school in the city in the future. You can't use it for us!"
The man with the sharp mouth and the monkey cheeks laughed and said with utmost mockery: "Hey, the one from your family still wants to go to school? What are you dreaming about? I think she is quite efficient at work, so why not help you farm as soon as possible!"
"Li Fugui, don't go too far! My daughter is doing well. She is much more promising than your unpromising son who only knows how to sneak around!" Lao Zhang had been silent at first, as if he didn't want to expand the conflict, but others were clearly looking down on him.
Mai Mai, Lao Zhang got really angry.
Lao Zhang was strong, and he was the only hunter in the small village. He was very skilled, and no matter how good-tempered he was, Li Fugui was still a little afraid of him once he got angry.
But Li Fugui was lightly pushed by the person next to him. He coughed twice and smiled at Lao Zhang: "I'm serious, tusk tusk, you and your wife never thought about letting Mai Mai go to school before, right? Ever since
A wild man from nowhere came to the house and taught Mai Mai how to read a few words, so you guys have such unrealistic thoughts? Hahahaha... maybe they just taught him for fun~
I don’t know if I’m attracted to your wife or your ten-year-old daughter!”
"You fucking fart!" As soon as these words were spoken, not only Lao Zhang's wife was about to explode with rage, but Lao Zhang also darkened her face and blurted out a curse, making the scene tense.
Yu Xing was halfway through the door and heard all these words clearly.
Mai Mai, who was following behind, let out a slight sob. He was obviously frightened and could understand the nonsense in Li Fugui's mouth.
What you said is really dirty.
Yu Xing narrowed his eyes and walked out.
He was the most conspicuous person wherever he was. The few people surrounding the door noticed his appearance. Immediately, Li Fugui took a step back, no longer having the confidence to spread rumors about him behind his back.
This was a kind of withdrawal that had become a habit, and Yu Xing understood that it seemed that even though he had not lost his memory, his temper was not very good at the moment.
When Lao Zhang's wife saw him, she quickly said: "Yu Xing, don't be angry, don't misunderstand, our whole family has never thought about you!"
She also saw the sobbing Mai Mai, her face changed, she stepped forward to hold Mai Mai in her arms and coaxed: "Good boy, don't feel wronged, don't cry if you don't want to, your brother Yu is very good, don't listen to other people's nonsense."
, Mom will take you back to your room..."
The two men in the family have come out, so let the men take care of the rest. She was originally worried that her husband would be kind-hearted and give away the hard-earned meat for free, but she felt relieved after Yu Xing came out.
This child would never let their family suffer.
Yu Xing listened to Maimai complaining in a low voice, "I'm not afraid, but they say bad things about Brother Yu." He raised his eyes and looked at the villagers who came to beg for meat but had no success and spoke dirty words.
Although he had just returned from a timeline jump and had no relationship with Lao Zhang's family, the trust shown by this family... he still didn't want to let it down.
"Why don't you continue talking? Are you mute?" Yu Xing's eyes glowed coldly, and he faced the villagers with an expression that almost never appeared on his face in modern times.
Li Fugui thought that he would be caught anyway, so he didn't care to speak more. Instead, he felt confident: "Yu Xing, do you really think that if you are more powerful, others will be afraid of you? If I don't say it in front of you, in fact,
, which family doesn’t whisper about your origins behind their backs? Do you dare to say that if you stay in Lao Zhang’s house and don’t leave, you don’t have any plans for Mai Mai? "
Fortunately, when Yu glanced out of the corner of his eye, Lao Zhang's wife had already entered the house with Mai Mai in her arms.
Lao Zhang was obviously very angry, and his hand was almost on the handle of the axe, but he still suppressed his temper and did not do anything inappropriate.
At a glance, you can tell that people like Lao Zhang, who is not good at speaking, often suffer at the hands of people like Li Fugui who love to bully people.
Gee, I really want to kill all these people.
Such ferocious thoughts appeared uncontrollably in Yu Xing's mind. After the alienation of his mind, dark thoughts swirled in his mind almost all the time.
But he didn't become a pure madman and evil person because he could still control the kindness in his heart.
In this situation, he was even willing to talk to these people based on the information he just heard: "Lao Zhang knows best whether I have any plans for Mai Mai, and you unimportant people can whisper it behind his back if you want."
Keep your words behind your back honestly and say one more thing in front of Lao Zhang and Mai Mai, and I won't mind cutting out your tongues."
"You're not afraid. You can leave anytime you want, but what about Maimai? Have you ever cared about how she, a little girl, will behave after losing her innocence?" Li Fugui snorted coldly, trying to make Yu Xing's toughness disappear.
Yu Xing looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person, a corpse, or garbage: "Isn't it true that Mai Mai's innocence is just in the mouths of you maggots? Since you are so disgusting, don't imitate others to care about Mai Mai.
,By the way, you still want meat? Where did you get your face?"
Li Fugui and the men next to him looked at each other in shock, realizing that the topic had gone too far. It just so happened that they did not dare to confront Yu Xing, so they immediately took this opportunity to bring the topic back: "Yes, meat! Lao Zhang, how about us?
Is it difficult to have five rabbits for the whole family? You are not willing to give them to me?"
Lao Zhang also didn't expect that after insulting his daughter, his wife and the people his family took in, they would still have the nerve to ask for rabbits.
He cursed hard and then warned: "Get out of here while I still have the patience to talk to you!"
"Yo yo yo~ The good old man has shown his true colors, right? He's so heartless if he doesn't give us money, but we don't have meat to eat! Who stopped us from going to the next village before?" Several villagers jeered, because they knew that Lao Zhang was a good person.
Even if Lao Zhang is here, if the freak named Yu Xing wants to touch them, Lao Zhang will stop him.
"I've said before, there's something wrong with the village next door. Something will happen if you go there!" Lao Zhang argued.
"If you don't give me the money, what's the point?" Yu Xing asked coolly.
"What? Shouldn't it be?" a relatively strong man behind Li Fugui asked.
"Then you are really pitiful. You need to beg to survive." Yu Xing slowly walked up to the strong man who spoke to him. Although he was angry at the word begging, no one dared to stop him.
Under the nervous gaze of the strong man, he put his hand on the other man's shoulder.
Then, press down hard!
The huge force pushed the strong man to his knees directly on the ground. The man cried out in pain, and Yu Xing said grimly: "But since it is begging, you should be more dedicated, at least kneel down, kowtow a few times, and then wait for others to give alms, and then
He left on his knees with tears of gratitude on his face."
"You!" The strong man gritted his teeth in pain, but Li Fugui and others who seemed to have a good relationship with him, none of them stepped forward to rescue him, and they all hid far away.
The farce finally ended with Yu Xing's threats.
Yu Xing knew that he was violent now, but he also knew that the adjustment of mentality did not happen overnight. With the level of memory he had recovered now, it was already good to be able to resolve the matter so peacefully.
Lao Zhang apologized to him and then asked Yu Xing if he would go hunting with him today.
"No, I'm a little tired today and want to rest." From Lao Zhang's tone, Yu Xing could tell that he was not forced to go hunting. Lao Zhang's family respected him and allowed him to sleep until he woke up naturally.
Just know it.
What Mai Mai said "we used to hunt together" was probably of his own free will.
And now that he wants to stay, he just thinks of the village next door that the villagers say.
It sounds like, apart from Lao Zhang, the people in this small village are envious of the material conditions at Shenpo?
Lao Zhang gathered his tools and set off, leaving Yu Xing alone to think.
The goddess talks about betrayal and jealousy.
Xiaohu was talking about the little girl who was kidnapped from the next village.
A deserted village in the future timeline.
These traces reminded him of a not-so-splendid course of events.
"Could it be that... in order to join the big village of the Goddess and get the approval of the Goddess, the people from the small village tied up Mai Mai as a gift and gave it to the Goddess when Lao Zhang and I were hunting. Lao Zhang's wife would definitely not
He watched this happen and was killed when he resisted." Yu Xing murmured, "When we came back, we found that Mai Mai was missing. Something happened to Lao Zhang's wife, and she went to the big village to find someone, so she got involved in the matter of the Immortal?"
"What would I do at that time..."
He frowned, trying hard to simulate and guess his own behavior.
If in the real timeline, I came into contact with the goddess when I went to her village with Lao Zhang, learned about the existence of the gods and the custom of cutting meat for worship in large villages, and then discovered that Mai Mai had been eaten by the water ghost...
…
What are the chances of me losing my mind...
Perhaps he was thinking too hard, and this time he was trying to recall and speculate. Yu Xing could feel that the memory barrier used by some force to restrict him seemed to be loosening.
A small picture flashed back in front of his eyes for a moment.
That was the scene where Lao Zhang, with a ferocious face, raised his ax high in the house and hacked Li Fugui to death.
Yu Xing seemed to still be able to hear Lao Zhang roaring in agony.
"Sure enough, I guessed it right." There was a change in memory, indicating that at least he guessed the general direction correctly.
And the day he returned now might be the day Mai Mai was kidnapped.
The dispute in the morning prompted Li Fugui and others to take action against Mai Mai and his fellow villager's wife?
It seems that in reality he went hunting with Lao Zhang and did not stay in the village. Otherwise, he would not have let those losers harm Lao Zhang's family.
But now, his choices in this false world are different from before, so this time, he wants to see what actions these villagers will take.
Thinking like this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Yu Xing's mouth. There was no haunted house, but he walked towards the forest, but didn't go far and squatted in the grass.
In this way, others will think that he left with Lao Zhang.
