Life Control Chart

After a sleepless night, Shi Yu hurriedly summoned Mu Liu early the next morning and told him to go to the village where Old Man Xin lived, chat with Li Zheng there, learn more about everything in this world, and ask him to guard the residence.

Mu Liu said something was inappropriate. This world was too weird. Even ordinary people could control the soul-cleansing needle. If Shi Yu hadn't been able to resist, it would have been a farewell for a long time. Just thinking about it, he knew that the city government would not let this place go. Wait. If he brought people here again, when Shi Yu came back, there would be a piece of white earth and scorched corpses. He had to go on the road with Shi Yu.

Shi Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement. Everyone dismantled and put away the courtyard, and Wu Wuyangyang chased after the mark Shi Yu left on Old Man Xin.

Sure enough, after Shi Yu and others had left for half a day, a group of people landed here. The city governor with a bruised nose and swollen face was among them, but this time he was not the leader, but a man with three strands of hair under his chin and a beard with an immortal air. There was a person who looked like a secular official who accompanied him respectfully.

Shi Yu and others had already left long ago, so naturally they knew nothing about it, but when they followed the trail and caught up with Old Man Xin, they were all dumbfounded - Old Man Xin was carrying a rag bag, wiping his sweat step by step while moving hard. Stepping forward, he looked at the possibility of sweating and losing strength and fainting by the roadside at any time. He didn't have the courage to knock down Thirty-One with three punches and two kicks.

Old Man Xin was unaware of Shi Yu and the others who were floating in mid-air and staring at him, muttering as they walked.

He was actually complaining that he had lost a good plowing cow in vain. If he could bring home a good ox for generations, his descendants would not have to worry about plowing the fields, and he could have another little wife and have more children.

Thirty-one heard Old Man Xin's soliloquy clearly, his dark face was as angry as pig iron, hot air was blowing out from his nostrils, and his eyes were glowing red.

Although he has lost his memory, his almighty temperament is still there. How can he bear to be so despised by a dying old man, who even wants to make him an heirloom cattle? But he had to endure it if he couldn't bear it. He really didn't have the guts to fight again, so he just sat behind the team and sulked alone.

"Mr. Xin, are you still on your way? I've brought you a cow!" Shi Yu greeted warmly.

Shi Yu had no time to accompany Old Man Xin on his way slowly. As far as he could see, there was no village within dozens of miles. At Old Man Xin's speed, it would take him a day or two to walk to a village hundreds of miles away.

"Who?" Old Man Xin was immersed in self-blame and couldn't extricate himself. When he heard someone calling him and telling him what he was hoping for, he suddenly woke up and looked around but there was no one there. It wasn't until he looked up after wondering for a long time that he saw Shi Yu standing above him with a smile and bowing his head.

Old Man Xin didn't think Shi Yu's smile was amiable. He screamed in fright and rolled on the ground, getting into the bushes beside the dirt path. His clothes were torn in many places, and his dirty skin was scratched. bloodstain.

"Eh? Old man, what are you doing? I never hurt you, what are you afraid of?" Shi Yu gently stepped on the ground, stretched out his hand to lift old man Xin who was huddled in the bushes, and put it in front of him.

"Sir, please forgive me! The little old man doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. I still have three wives and a dozen children to raise at home. Sir, just let the old man go..." As he said this, Old Man Xin began to wipe his nose again. tears.

After Shi Yu tried to persuade him with kind words, he showed that he had no ill intentions and just wanted to go with him to the village to meet Li Zheng. Only then did Old Man Xin gradually calm down and nodded and bowed to Shi Yu, with a stiff smile on his face.

Old Man Xin was so excited about the next journey that he completely threw away his fear of Shi Yu and others. He didn't expect that he could fly in the clouds like the immortal master, even though he was held in Thirty-One's hand angrily.

Marveling all the way, taking in hundreds of miles of scenery, Old Man Xin turned his head and looked at Thirty-One who was holding him, and suddenly felt so aggrieved. He obviously beat him half to death, so he should be the master of this guy. Why? A cow can fly, but he can't.

Seeing him looking at her, Thirty-One snorted coldly, frightening Xin

The old man was excited and quickly turned his head and pretended to continue admiring the scenery.

What he was afraid of was not Thirty-One, but Shi Yu, the demon slave who couldn't even be dealt with by Chengzhi using immortal treasures. He didn't dare to offend him at all.

After only a dozen breaths, everyone landed at the door of Old Man Xin's shabby thatched cottage.

Old Man Xin landed and shouted, "I'm back!" The dilapidated house, which was deathly silent, started to boil with excitement. There were literally a dozen big and small babies running out to call for daddy. A few of them were walking a little staggeringly and still had snot bubbles in their noses.

Shi Yu couldn't believe what he saw. Just now he thought the old man was talking nonsense to gain sympathy, but now there were dozens of living dolls running around all over the floor. Shi Yu really admired this old man Xin who was growing stronger.

Following the doll came out three women, to be precise, an old woman with wrinkles on her face, a middle-aged woman in her forties, and a young woman who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen and had a big belly. .

"Old man Xin, you can do it!" Shi Yu praised sincerely, "Half of your village is your family!"

This old woman must not be able to have another child, and the children she gave birth to must have already grown up and left home. Even the older children born to this middle-aged woman should have separated and become independent. Thinking that at least halfway through, there were still so many minors here, Shi Yu felt that Old Man Xin's farming ability was first-class, whether in the field or on the kang.

"Hey, my family is poor and we can't afford lamp oil, so we have nothing to do at night..." Xin Han himself felt a little embarrassed and smiled in apology.

"Can't afford lamp oil?" Shi Yu then took a closer look at each of Old Man Xin's relatives. They all looked sallow and skinny. Several little guys tore off Old Man Xin's rag bag and dug in it with drooling eyes.

"Hehe, excuse me, sir. Sometimes I would bring some dried fruit and candy back to the kids, but not this time..."

Old man Xin explained to Shi Yu, his voice getting lower and lower, his eyes kept glancing at the three wives.

When the three women came out and saw Shi Yu and the others, their eyes lit up, but when they heard Old man Xin calling them adults, there was only a hint of contempt in their eyes.

Even after the children had emptied the broken bag, there was no household items, only a few unknown herbs. Their faces darkened and their eyes completely lost their spirits, and they slowly moved back to the house without saying hello to Shi Yu.

"Old man Xin, didn't you go to buy oil and salt? Where are the things?" Shi Yu asked, he felt bad looking at the depressed look of the three women.

"You were caught before we even entered the city, and we didn't dare to go back to buy them after we escaped..." Old man Xin was halfway through his words, because Shi Yu had already reached out and picked up a three or four-year-old child, holding his hands in front of him for a closer look.

"Brother, brother." The child didn't know what fear was. Seeing that Shi Yu looked similar to his brothers who had just grown up, he shouted randomly. Old Man Xin was so scared that he rushed over and slapped him hard on his buttocks. The little guy cried loudly in pain.

"Don't blame me, my little kid doesn't know anything and shouts and screams!" He slapped him hard a few more times, and the gray little buttocks immediately became red and swollen.

"What are you doing!" Shi Yu frowned and shouted angrily, which scared Old Man Xin so much that he threw the child aside and knelt on the ground and trembled.

The child didn't understand why his father knelt on the ground, and cried even louder. Several other young children also cried loudly for no reason. The older ones stood aside stupidly, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, there was a mess in front of the thatched house, and crying and shouting came one after another.

The three wives of Old Man Xin were also frightened at this time. They walked out of the hut quickly, knelt down with their husbands without asking why, and kept kowtowing to Shi Yu.

Only then did the three women know why Old Man Xin had treated these people so politely.

They shook like sieves. The story of the demon slaves had long been a well-known horror legend passed down by word of mouth. Before, they had always thought that Shi Yu and others were ordinary abolitionists.

Shi Yu felt annoyed and bitter. At first, he just saw that the child was about the same age as his brother, and he picked him up to take a closer look. Who knew that it would cause such a mess.

"Get up. I don't mean to blame you. Old man Xin, you don't have to be afraid." Shi Yu bent down and pulled up Old Man Xin and his wives. He pointed at an older child at random, sighed, and said, "Sanyi, you go with this child and dig up all the land that should be dug in Old Man Xin's house, and then open up some wasteland for him."

"Hmm." Sanyi had no objection to Shi Yu's order, but the child was panicked and at a loss. Looking at his father pulling at the corner of his torn clothes, he had not yet recovered from the fear brought by his father's sudden kneeling.

Old man Xin didn't know whether he should accept it or not. He trembled and couldn't say a word.

"Alas!" Shi Yu sighed again and waved to Sanyi. Sanyi understood, grabbed the child with one hand and flew away.

Seeing that the three women were still trembling, and one of them was pregnant, Shi Yu winked at Mu Li again. Mu Li hurried over and helped the three people into the hut.

"Old man Xin, it's still early. Tell the kids to go out and play. You call the head of the village. I'll leave after I finish asking questions." Shi Yu knew that no one would have a good time if he was here.

"But..." Old man Xin hesitated and was embarrassed.

"Why?" Shi Yu asked.

"The head of the village is not someone I can call. If I go like this, he will just beat me up." Old man Xin kept rubbing his hands, afraid that Shi Yu would be dissatisfied and beat him up first.

"Alas!" Shi Yu slapped his forehead. He was used to living a high-ranking life. Even when he was in trouble, he still had some reserved airs that he couldn't change for a while. How could Shi Yu take such a petty official seriously before.

"Let's go, let's go together. Mu Liu, you come too." Shi Yu carried Old Man Xin and just floated into the air, he saw the child who went to open up wasteland with Sanshiyi stumbling home with blood all over his head.

"Dad! Dad! Our cow has been taken away!" The young man cried, not noticing his father in mid-air. He just ran along crying while pressing the bleeding spot on his forehead, dripping blood all over the road.

"What!" Old Man Xin was anxious, twisting his body and struggling, trying to break away from Shi Yu's arm and rush to his son.

At first, Shi Yu was still holding on tightly and falling to the ground. Seeing that Old Man Xin was constantly exerting force, he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly let go of his arm when there were still more than ten feet. Old Man Xin screamed and his limbs danced wildly. He fell to the ground with a "bang", feeling dizzy and his leg broken.

Without caring about why Shi Yu would intentionally leave him behind, or caring about his broken leg, Old Man Xin hurriedly got up and limped towards his son who was bleeding profusely.

"Which bastard dared to hit my son! Don't be afraid, Dan'er, let's go find your brothers to help you vent your anger!" Old Man Xin hurriedly helped his son stop bleeding while yelling and cursing.

"My eldest and second brothers were helping me hoe the fields, and they were both injured! My eldest brother was almost beaten to death! It was the head of the village who led people to rob the cow!" Dan'er cried.

"What? The head of the village?" Old Man Xin's arrogance disappeared in an instant, "Why did he rob our things? Did you, little bastard, provoke him?"

When it came to offending the gentry and evil officials, Old Man Xin was like all the lower-class people, thinking that it was his family's responsibility, and he only hated his son for not having good manners and offending someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"Village head?" Shi Yu muttered to himself. He had been watching all this quietly until this moment when he smiled slightly. He thought it was very interesting. Whoever he wanted to find would come to him.
