"Brother Shen, you have so many people here so early in the morning?"

The door of Shen Xiujin’s house.

He Lingda came over with many gifts and subordinates, which was a little strange.

Shen Xiujin explained the purpose of these people's visit.

He Lingda became anxious when he heard this: "These people actually want to take advantage of the wall!"

Shen Xiujin is now a famous person here, how can this be done?

If he wasn't here anymore, if something like last time happened again, they would be doomed.

The other guards were also anxious.

Shen Xiujin has rescued countless people since she joined their team.

It can be said that everyone in the Xu family owes him two lives on average now. Naturally, they don't want Shen Xiujin to leave.

"Brother Shen, if you are unhappy, you can tell us and I will talk to the lady." He Lingda said quickly: "If anyone makes you unhappy, I, He Lingda, will be the first to disagree."

The guard on the side agreed: "That's right, Brother Shen, we will all rely on you from now on. If you leave, my wife won't let me go out."

"That's right, Brother Shen, if you work in the Xu family from now on, we can do whatever you have to do. We will definitely not tire you."

"That's right, you have to think about us."

Shen Xiujin was almost speechless, and pressed her hands and said: "Don't worry, I didn't promise them."

"Brother Shen, it's not that we are making things difficult for you, but you also know that the world is not easy now..."

"Captain He, I know, come in first, why are you bringing so many gifts?"

Shen Xiujin noticed that everyone had many gifts in their hands.

"Haha, it's okay, I just meant it."

"Hey, you're welcome."

After this incident, Shen Xiujin's status in the Xu family rose sharply.

From the former guard, he was promoted to the position of guest minister.

This position is even higher than that of a housekeeper.

You don't need to do anything on weekdays, you just need to lend a hand and help when the Xu family has something to do.

Shen Xiujin is naturally happy to see such changes.

There are many rewards given to him this time.

The Xu family directly gave him a reward of five hundred taels.

With this little money, his life has changed a lot. Now he really has no worries about food and clothing.

In particular, the Xu family specially sent craftsmen to repair their house and make it look brand new.

They even announced to the outside world that Shen Xiujin was theirs.

As a result, no gangster would dare to touch the Xu family's bad luck.

Although life has gotten better, Shen Xiujin has not relaxed at all.

He wants to become stronger, become stronger.

The Shadowless Magic Skill has reached a small level, but if he goes further, he finds it very difficult.

He had taken the Body Refining Pill before, and although he had improved most of his physical strength, the original body was too deficient, and after he reached a small level of martial arts practice, it became somewhat difficult.

"Deduction, is there a place with strong spiritual energy for me to practice?"

[This deduction requires 100,000 soul points.]

Shen Xiujin was surprised that he needed so much.

However, the more soul power points, the better the explanation.

[Successful deduction: There is a spar underneath an old well in Huangtu Village. After being absorbed, the body and soul will become stronger. 】

"Loess Village, it seems to be nearby."

Shen Xiujin thought for a while and whispered.

He has lived here for so long that he is very familiar with some places nearby.

That day, he packed up his things and headed to Huangtu Village.

Speaking of which, I haven't been to the village for quite some time.

This time when he went to the countryside, Shen Xiujin frowned wherever he went.

That is desolation.

In the past, although the village was desolate, generally speaking, everyone could barely live a life.

But now, many people's homes are closed.

Empty!

"Where have everyone gone?"

Shen Xiujin frowned.

Many orphans and widowed women were sitting on the street with bowls in front of them.

"Master, let's have some food. I haven't eaten in three days."

"Master, give me a way to survive."

"Master, look at me as a girl, take her away."

"How could this happen?" Shen Xiujin looked at the beggars and wanted to help.

But with so many people, how can I help myself?

I can only walk step by step with a cold face.

"Deduction, what exactly happened here, why are the people like this?"

[This deduction requires 100 soul points.]

[The deduction is successful: natural and man-made disasters have continued in recent years, the court has increased taxes, countless people have died of illness and starvation, bandits are rampant, and evil spirits have killed people...]

"So that's it."

Shen Xiujin was silent.

In fact, he probably guessed it without any deduction.

In recent years, it is no longer a secret that evil spirits have killed people.

First outside, then inside the city, and now more and more people are dying inside the city.

As for natural disasters, the food harvest has been poor in recent years.

The imperial court increased taxes every year, and many people could no longer survive and became bandits.

"Why……"

Shen Xiujin also felt very sad: "How to change?"

rebel?

He made a fist.

Rebellion, actually there are rebellions in many places.

However, although the imperial court looks weak now, its military strength is not weak.

Every time any rebel team appears, the imperial court will immediately eliminate them.

"Well, it's still about strength. When I have strength, will I still be afraid of these things?"

Shen Xiujin whispered in his heart.

Unknowingly, he came to the door of a villager's house.

According to deduction, the ancient well is nearby.

"grown ups……"

Inside the doorway, there was a little girl sitting. She was so hungry that she had no strength. She leaned on the edge of the threshold and looked at Shen Xiujin helplessly: "Sir, please save my mother."

"What happened to your mother?"

Shen Xiujin walked up to the girl and asked.

The girl's eyes were so hungry that she murmured: "She...she is in the house, sick...she hasn't gotten up for three days!"

Three days...

Shen Xiujin turned over and found only one piece of cake: "Here is for you to eat."

The girl took it in surprise, but she didn't eat it. She murmured: "Mom, I haven't eaten for a long time. I have to give it to her first..."

"Eat first, I still have some on me."

"Really?"

"Um."

Shen Xiujin looked at the room. He was almost sure that the girl's mother had not gotten up for three days and was probably dead.

Therefore, there is no need to keep this cake.

When he entered the house, there was already a faint smell in the house.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the hut where he and his sister lived before. Didn't he and his sister live in a place like this before?

On the bed, a woman was already dead. Her eyes were wide open and she was looking at the door, as if she was saying, what should I do with my daughter?

He sighed and walked out: "Girl."

"Sir, how is my mother?"

The girl looks to be about the same age as her sister. In fact, at this age, she already knows what happened, but she doesn't dare to say it because she is afraid.

"Your mother...is dead."

"Wow……"

"Believe it or not, uncle?" Shen Xiujin said.

The girl nodded.

"If you believe me, come with me. I have a sister who is about the same age as you."

"Woooooooo..."
