-Chapter 177: Encounter in the Fishing Village The old man's wrinkled face trembled for a while, then he reached out and touched the little girl's head. After sighing, he said slowly, "This girl's name is Niuniu. Now
She is the only one left in the family."
Listening to the old man's words, it seemed that the little girl had touched the sad part. She trembled and said, "Grandpa!" Tears flashed in her eyes again, and she nestled tightly in the old man's arms.
Qin Yi and Feng Ling'er looked at each other and continued to listen to the old man's words without saying anything, becoming even more interested in what he said next.
"Our small fishing village was originally a comfortable and harmonious village. Until a few years ago????" The old man's eyes were in a trance, as if he had seen the past, and there was a sense of peace on his face, and then it became ugly again.
This small fishing village located by the river has an elegant environment. The fishermen in each household make a living by fishing and live a very comfortable life. For ordinary people, it is a blessing to be able to live a peaceful life in the world of cultivation.
.However, the turning point of the matter occurred a few years ago. Suspicious bandits suddenly appeared nearby and plundered all nearby villages. The situation in other villages was not much different from theirs, with only some old, weak, women and children left.
This banditry was detested by Baiban. All the young women in the village were snatched away, raped and killed. The healthy young men were also taken away and taken to no one knows where. The rest were all
Some elderly people and children.
The little girl named Niu Niu suffered such a misfortune that Qin Yi and Qin Yi couldn't help but feel angry, and at the same time they felt sorry for her. Feng Ling'er could not help but shed tears. For her who had always lived a high and carefree life.
, the little girl’s plight made her very sympathetic.
Niu Niu's mother, who was young and beautiful, could be considered one of the few beauties in existence, committed suicide in shame and anger after being raped by those bandits. And Niu Niu's father was originally captured by these bandits like those young people.
, because his wife could not bear the humiliation brought by rape and committed suicide. He resisted angrily, but was killed by the robbers on the spot, leaving behind an eight or nine-year-old daughter.
The young Niuniu instantly changed from a princess loved by her parents to an orphan. The people in the village sympathized with her, so they collectively adopted her until now. She was only five years old that year, and four thoughts have passed since then.
"Isn't there anyone here who cares about this matter?" Feng Ling'er asked angrily.
The old man shook his head, "These robbers are very capable, who dares to meddle in such nosy matters!"
"What about the nearby sects? Don't they care about the life and death of the people?" Feng Ling'er asked again, and she could hear that she was extremely dissatisfied with the nearby sects.
"See, this young lady is also a member of our family. Is the sect you are talking about not the gods? Hey! How can those gods care about the lives of mortals like us?" The old man said with regret.
For the sect of cultivators, in the eyes of mortals, they are like gods. Originally, there was a man like this in the fishing village, and he was taken away by a god who passed by. However, there is no news so far, and no one knows how to give birth to him.
A few years later, something like this happened to his small fishing village, and the man who was taken away by the gods was actually the old man's son.
Although the old man hoped that his son could come back to help them, he did not want him to come back because he was not sure whether his son could defeat the bandits. He heard that there were gods-like figures among the bandits.
"Humph, there is actually a cultivator. This person should be killed!" Feng Ling'er became more and more angry as he listened. He stretched out his hand and smashed the earthen jar next to him, making the old and the young tremble in fright.
"Ling'er——" Qin Yi, who had been silent for the whole time, frowned and glanced at her. Doing this in front of this old and young kid is scaring others. This is not a cultivator, but a mortal.
Feng Ling'er also knew that her behavior was excessive, so she took a deep breath, and then said with a smile, "Don't be offended, old man, I'm just too angry with those bandits and those practitioners."
"Nothing. You are just guests. Our fishing village is simple and we don't have anything to entertain you. We only have some dried fish. Later I will ask everyone to cook a sumptuous meal to entertain you." At this time, the old man showed a sad face and said
Show a smile.
In the evening, Feng Ling'er took a bath as she wished. What was better than Qin Yi was that she actually took a nice hot bath with the kindness of these villagers, and felt proud in front of Qin Yi. Then she ate
At the end of the meal, there is a tradition in the fishing village that whenever guests from far away come to the small fishing village, they will be warmly entertained by the whole village. But looking at the food on the table, Qin Yi and Feng Ling'er can't help but feel a little sad.
Except for some dried fish, the whole table is filled with vegetables, which are not very much. This is already the best thing in the whole village. It can be seen that these fishermen live a very hard life, but Qin Yi and the others will have the best when they arrive.
He brought out the things to entertain them. Why did such a simple mortal encounter such a situation?
Originally, as cultivators, Qin Yi and the others were not allowed to eat at their current level, but it was difficult to refuse such hospitality. Not eating these things would seem to be disappointing the whole village, so they started eating with chopsticks. The only dried fish was dried.
It was meat, but the taste was not very good. The two of them just tasted it and put down their chopsticks. Then the villagers started to use their chopsticks.
"What? Could it be that these things are not to your liking, but these are the only things we have." The old man thought Qin Yi and his wife didn't like these things, so he stopped eating them.
"Don't get me wrong, old man, we are not hungry in the first place. You can eat by yourself without worrying about us." Qin Yi said with a smile.
Niu Niu on the side rolled her eyes, glanced at the two of them, and then quickly chewed the dried fish with her small mouth. In her eyes, this dried fish was the best thing, and she hadn’t eaten meat for a long time.
Feng Ling'er reached out and touched her head, and then said softly, "Niuniu, slow down, be careful not to choke. There are some here, here, I'll give you my sister's too." After saying that, she married the dried fish in her bowl.
she.
"Thank you, sister!" Niu Niu turned around and smiled, then munched on the dried fish.
After the meal, Feng Ling'er walked away alone and stood in the open space looking up at the stars.
"What? Can't figure it out?" Qin Yi appeared beside her at some point.
Feng Ling'er sighed and said melancholy, "Yes, I have lived in the sect since I was a child. This time I really stepped out of the sect. In the past, I always thought that the elders of the sect were restraining me and not allowing me to go out.
"I thought I was the most wronged person in the world. But when I saw these simple fishermen, I..." Feng Ling'er did not continue and sighed again.
Of course Qin Yi knew that when she saw such a scene, she, a young lady who had been carefree since she was a child, would naturally feel a huge contrast. Unexpectedly, Qin Yi chuckled when he thought that she, who was overbearing, also had such a side.
"You are not a mortal, and you don't understand the pain of mortals. The world of cultivation is so big, there are many mortals like them, living at the lowest level. They don't want to have strong strength, nor have any ambitions to obtain valuable treasures. They just want to be safe.
They can live a happy life, but it is difficult for them."
"But we can help them, can't we?" Feng Linger turned her head and looked at Qin Yi meaningfully.
Qin Yi was silent, and Feng Ling'er just said what he was thinking. I heard from the old man that this group of robbers specializes in catching strong young people, so what do they do with them? Also, there are practitioners here, so let's
