The night in the mountain village seems darker than elsewhere, and the strong wind howls in the wilderness, like a roaring beast.
The fence outside the courtyard adds a sense of security to the courtyard.
Sitting in a simple wooden tile house, the foot of my feet is the pitted and rotten cement floor.
The dim yellow lamp on the table swayed with the wind, and there were three or four plates of fried vegetables on the table.
Lin Ming has never experienced such an environment since he was a child.
He held the chopsticks and bowl in his hands, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
What surprised him the most was Xie Jianjia. Despite her fairy-like appearance, she was really unambiguous when it came to eating.
Watching Xie Jianjia eat some more, Lin Ming finally moved his chopsticks.
Seeing both of them starting to eat, the village chief showed a satisfied smile in his eyes.
"You should all come from big cities. Our village here is small, so we can only feed you these."
After taking a bite, Lin Ming surprisingly felt that it was okay. He raised his head and apologized politely.
Warriors' five senses are sensitive, not only reflected in their vision and hearing, but their senses of smell and taste have also been strengthened to a certain extent.
As soon as Lin Ming took these meals into his mouth, he could taste the peculiar smell inside them.
It's probably an ingredient similar to a drug.
Unfortunately, these doses, which are sufficient for ordinary people, are of no use to him and Xie Jianjia.
However, in order to find out what these people wanted to do, the two people had secretly discussed it before and decided to cooperate with their actions.
After taking two bites, the two people pretended to be dizzy and lay down on the table. In fact, they were both awake and listening to the goings on in the room.
"Did it fall?"
"certainly."
"The dose I used was enough to charm an elephant. These two people were not wary. It would be strange if they didn't fall down after eating so much."
"Hehehe, we from a remote country didn't expect to catch such a beautiful woman."
The voices of the two people in the room talking were very familiar.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and take the woman down quickly."
"What should we do with this young man? This tendon meat looks quite delicious."
"Okay, don't think about your appetite anymore, tie him up for me first. He won't be able to wake up with this dose of drug until the next day."
"Let's try to see if this woman can do something different this time."
Lin Ming originally thought that this village treated women as fertility machines, or that they were too patriarchal, but after hearing their conversation, he was a little confused.
Things didn't seem to be what he thought. These people seemed to have different purposes in arresting women.
He did not struggle and allowed the men to tie him up with ropes.
After hearing the sound of Xie Jianjia being moved, he opened his eyes slightly and saw Xie Jianjia, and made a gesture to him not to be impulsive.
It seems that the problem should not be too big at the moment.
So he closed his eyes slightly, waited for the movement of those people to disappear, quickly opened the hemp rope, and followed their direction.
In the small courtyard, he could still hear the girl's shouts coming from Jinli.
There was no one around, so he opened his clairvoyance eyes and saw women of all sizes living in the well.
He walked to the edge of the well and poked his head down. He could go down directly from here, but those villagers probably couldn't, so they should have other secret passages leading to the bottom of the well.
In order to save time, Lin Ming directly slid down the long shaft and landed on a solid cement floor, which was much stronger than the floor of the village chief's house.
The decoration under the well is much better than that of the dilapidated village.
Lin Ming deliberately restrained his breath and slowed down his pace. The crying women crowded at the bottom of the well did not notice his presence.
He observed the layout of the bottom of the well, which was dug into a huge semicircle, like a beast's lair.
In the middle of the lair, there is a simple round platform whose purpose is unknown.
After a while, he heard a different sound coming from outside. The village chief and a group of old people she had not seen during the day came in dragging Xie Jianjia.
They dragged the person directly onto the round platform, and the women in the entire nest shrank when they saw their appearance, trying to hide themselves.
When Lin Ming saw the village chief and the others scolding him, the women shut up one after another.
Then they looked as if they wanted to cut Xie Jianjia's wrists and bleed them on the round platform.
But how can ordinary people's weapons easily cut through the warrior's skin?
"This knife can't cut her skin no matter what, it's really evil!"
"Think on the bright side, maybe this woman is different. When we sacrifice her blood, our village will be the same as before."
"In the end, I will keep her here and give us a few children like those people before me. If there are girls, I thought of bloodletting."
This strange development confused Lin Ming.
So he chose to appear directly in front of those people.
"You, weren't you stunned by me? How did you appear here?"
The village chief took several steps back and stared at Lin Ming in shock.
Lin Ming lifted him up, pulled Xie Jianjia over, and gently brushed his wrist that was held by several people, as if to help her sweep away the dust.
"Okay, let's do something serious. I heard a lot of people crying here."
Xie Jianjia's opening her mouth was the last straw that destroyed those people's sanity.
"You, you are all okay."
When the village chief was still frightened and wanted to retreat, Lin Ming threw out a knife and nailed it to the wall behind him.
"Okay, come here and I have something to ask you."
"Don't give me any clever ideas. Those medicines on your body are of no use to me at all. If you don't want to talk to me properly, I don't mind breaking your legs first and then chatting with you."
Lin Ming impatiently broke through all his disguises and pointed at the round platform and the frightened women in the lair.
"Tell me all these things now. No hiding is allowed."
The village chief has been calling the shots in this village for so many years, how could he easily listen to his threats?
He was about to call on the people around him to resist and knock down those self-proclaimed righteous saviors like before.
However, this time he made a mistake, and Lin Ming simply broke his arms and legs.
He didn't even see clearly how Lin Ming got to him. The pain of his body being forcibly torn off made him wail one after another.
"No, don't kill me."
"Tell me all this and I will finally give you a chance."
Lin Ming's eyes were filled with anger.
He hadn't looked carefully just now, but now he calmed down and saw many little girls with sallow faces and thin muscles in the crowd.
Those girls didn't even have a single intact skin on their bodies, so it's not hard to imagine what kind of treatment they had experienced.
This is not a small mountain village, this is purgatory on earth.
Lin Ming almost vomited when he saw everything in front of him.
The village chief didn't last long. He was just an ordinary person who was used to doing evil and thought he could dominate other people's lives.
But now when I meet Lin Ming, I can only admit defeat.
