A cow, as if it had entered a state of frenzy.
He charged towards the little girl!
The little girl was still counting the ants when she saw this scene and froze on the spot!
The surrounding villagers' expressions all changed drastically!
"Oh no! Save her quickly!"
"Without the Dragon-Suppressing Rope to restrain this ox, we also cannot..."
Before the words had even finished...
The ox had already charged up to the little girl.
A figure leaped out!
He went straight to the little girl.
He pointed with one finger.
It landed on the bull's horn!
Everyone was taken aback.
With a single finger from the man, the cow was actually stopped!
No matter how hard it tried to break through the encirclement, it did not stop.
But it still couldn't budge the man in front of it.
Like Mount Tai, completely unmoved!
The man was Lu Changsheng.
The villagers then realized what was happening and immediately came over.
"Thank you, young man!"
"If it weren't for you, the village chief's granddaughter would be dead."
Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "It was nothing."
He couldn't bear to watch a little girl die right in front of him.
If you can help, then help.
This is something that even helping an elderly woman cross the street is a common occurrence in China.
Excellent qualities found on Earth with a fine tradition.
Although I am in another world.
Dude, you can't let your family down.
Ji Qianyao picked up the little girl, patted her back, and came to Lu Changsheng's side.
"Little sister, are you alright?"
The little girl shook her head and smiled, saying, "Thank you, big brother!"
Lu Changsheng thought about it and felt a chill run down his spine.
This little girl is probably older than him.
However, asking someone to call you "little brother" seems a bit perverted...
"It's good that you're not injured."
At this moment.
The villagers standing nearby also looked rather grim.
"How could he possibly break free when he's bound by the Dragon-Suppressing Rope under normal circumstances?"
"Could something have gone wrong?"
"Impossible. The Dragon-Suppressing Rope has never malfunctioned in thousands of years, unless it was caused by human intervention."
An elderly man, also leaning on a cane, walked over with several middle-aged men.
The old man's face turned grim as he said, "Go and investigate."
The middle-aged men around him all nodded.
At this moment, the old man walked up to Lu Changsheng and said gratefully, "Young man, thank you for saving my granddaughter, Tuantuan. Have you thanked your big brother yet?"
Tuantuan raised her chubby little hand and said, "Grandpa, thank you, big brother!"
Ji Qianyao patted Tuantuan's head with a look of affection.
He clearly adored this petite and exquisite little girl.
"Young man, you're from outside, aren't you? The third test hasn't started yet. Why don't you go and rest for a while at my place?"
Upon hearing this...
Lu Changsheng nodded.
That's perfect, I don't have anywhere to stay right now.
It would be good to go and sit for a while.
Along the way.
After the introduction.
Lu Changsheng also learned the old man's identity.
The old man was the village chief of this Mortal Village, and he was in charge of some of the village's mundane affairs.
but.
The people in this village are clearly extraordinary.
Even that cow had something unusual about it.
Why would I be content to live as an ordinary person in this village?
Could it be that, like me, you prefer a leisurely life?
It seemed that he had noticed Lu Changsheng's confusion.
The village chief smiled and said, "Are you wondering why we should stay in the village and not go out to explore the world?"
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Ji Qianyao also curiously peeked over.
"Actually, I don't know either."
The village chief smiled and said, "However, these are the rules set by our ancestors, and also the rules set by the teacher."
"No one in the Mortal Village may leave the village."
Ji Qianyao asked doubtfully, "Won't the other villagers protest in this case?"
"Protests have always existed."
The village chief said, "Having considerable strength, yet having to remain confined to the village, unable to realize one's ambitions, is not something a young person can tolerate."
"However, with the Master present, they dare not openly rebel."
Sir, sir.
Every single word he uttered revolved around the teacher.
It seems that this gentleman is the true person in charge of this Mortal Village.
To obtain the Black-Yellow Qi, one must go through him.
At this moment, Tuantuan peeked out from outside the door, looking curiously at Lu Changsheng and Ji Qianyao.
Seeing this, the village chief waved and said, " Tuantuan, why are you here instead of resting?"
Tuantuan said timidly, "I want to give big brother a thank-you gift..."
The village chief laughed, "That's only right. Come in then, and give it to your older brother yourself."
Overjoyed, Tuantuan waddled over to Lu Changsheng.
He held a Xiaoshu in both hands and handed it to Lu Changsheng.
Upon seeing this, the village chief's eyes flashed.
But he didn't say anything.
Lu Changsheng took it and asked with a smile, "What's this?"
Tuantuan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but all the uncles and aunties in the village have this, and they only give it to the people they like!"
So, Tuantuan likes older brothers?
Ji Qianyao teased from the side.
Tuantuan innocently exclaimed, "Yes! Big brother is so handsome!"
Um.
Children will always be children.
You have excellent taste!
"Thank you, Tuantuan."
Lu Changsheng put the branch away and patted Tuantuan's head.
Ji Qianyao then said jealously, "So gentle to a little girl?"
Lu Changsheng's eye twitched.
"Hey Miss Ji, are you out of your mind?"
"Go get treatment if you're sick!"
Ji Qianyao pouted, looking aggrieved.
You yelled at me again!
At this moment.
A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression strode in.
"Village chief, there's progress on the matter."
The village chief raised an eyebrow and glanced at the person beside him.
The man understood, nodded, and led Tuantuan out.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng also prepared to get up.
It looks like something big has happened.
I'm an outsider after all, so it's not appropriate for me to sit here.
but.
But the village chief said, "It's alright, young man, just sit here and listen. There's no problem."
Lu Changsheng:...
Why do I have this feeling of being dragged into trouble again?
Tell me about it.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, " The Dragon-Suppressing Rope used to bind the Dragon Ox has been tampered with."
"So, someone wanted to harm Tuantuan, or rather, to warn us."
The village chief's face was extremely ugly, his beard trembled with anger, and he slammed his cane down hard.
He shouted, "Who is it?"
The man said, "All the clues point to the He Clan."
He Clan?
The village chief put down his cane and said in a deep voice, "It seems they've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed."
" The He Clan has always wanted my position as village chief, hoping to elevate the Mortal Village beyond the mundane world."
"However, he consistently opposed it, and even gave me a severe dressing-down."
"Now that the Mortal Village has reopened, are they harboring wicked intentions again?"
Lu Changsheng stared silently out of the house.
Okay.
I knew it, trouble was brewing again...
