The small fishing village under the setting sun is quiet and beautiful. The gentle sea breeze blows the coconut trees rustle. Most of the buildings are in the form of stilt houses, with eaves raised high, and children play with chickens and dogs barking...

However, that was just the beautiful side of the ideal. The real situation was that the houses were dilapidated and crumbling, the air was filled with fishy smell, the fishing nets of tattered boats, dried fish, and even the feces left by poultry can be seen everywhere...

Where did so many years come from? This remote fishing village is just a hard-working crowd. Under the sun all year round, the villagers' skin is dark and shining. There is no passion and yearning for life on their faces, but they are more dull and numb.

Eat the mountains and seas by the sea. In the small fishing village, except for a few girls who pick pearls, almost all make a living by fishing and make a living at sea, day after day, year after year, perhaps that day, it will go through the storm and rain, and this is how it will go.

Walking on the road to the fishing village and witnessing all this, Liu Xiu knew that this is actually the real life of most people in the world. The only difference is that their lifestyles are different.

"Dare you ask what the young master calls me? Why did he live here?" The old man who could communicate normally with Liu Xiu led the way next to him, looked at Liu Xiu secretly for a while and couldn't help but ask.

To be honest, when facing Liu Xiu, the old man, including those around him, after his initial curiosity and vigilance, they all became a little inferior and cowardly, and became cautious.

Liu Xiu's dress is not something they can compare with. Although it seems ordinary, few people in the town can afford to wear the fabric. Liu Xiu's words and behaviors are obviously those who have read books, which makes them even more inferior. So people in the fishing village probably know less than a basket of words, especially Liu Xiu is so beautiful that he doesn't look like a hard-working person at all. He looks quite good at first glance, at least for them.

He felt their emotional changes keenly, but Liu Xiu did not change anything. He smiled calmly: "My younger generation, Liu Xiu, was curious for a moment and came here along the raging river. After several months, he came here unknowingly."

"Rain Taojiang?" The old man was stunned, obviously not sure why.

Pointing to the distance, Liu Xiu said: "It is the river that flows into the sea in the distance."

The old man suddenly realized and continued, "It turns out that Mr. Liu came from the source of that river. In a few months, the so-called Jiannan Road must be very far away."

"Yes, it's really far, at least tens of thousands of miles."

The old man was stunned. He couldn't imagine what it meant to have tens of thousands of miles in his mind. He probably didn't have that far in his life.

The people next to them watched the old man communicate with Liu Xiu, and they were all envious, but they couldn't understand. They were curious and anxious, and wanted to ask the old man what he said but did not dare to disturb him.

The small fishing village is not big, only twenty or thirty families. It is located in a remote place. The farthest place the villagers have been to is in the town, and they can count the times and are full of curiosity about the outside world.

After walking and chatting all the way, the group came to the best building in the village. The old man introduced that this was his home, his status was the village chief, and he was the most knowledgeable person in the village.

The old man's family is quite happy. He has three sons, all of whom have already started a family, and now he has seven or eight grandchildren. However, the old man said that his second son and daughter-in-law never came back after going to sea a few years ago. Their children are now raised by the eldest and third brothers.

When they came to the old man's home, Liu Xiu, the others did not leave because of Liu Xiu, a foreigner. Not only that, more villagers came to hear the news. They stretched their necks and looked at him curiously. Although they couldn't understand what Liu Xiu and the old man were saying, they all listened with relish.

When he arrived home, the old man first asked his son and daughter-in-law to prepare food to entertain Liu Xiu, and then went to make a pot of tea himself. The tea leaves were very crude. Despite this, Liu Xiu also found that the old man was afraid that he would not be willing to drink it at all.

There was a large circle of people around. Seeing that Liu Xiu did not show any dissatisfaction, the old man ignored them and poured Liu Xiu a cup of bad tea. He said carefully: "Young Master Liu, I'm not to hide it. Although I spent a while in a big city when I was young, I just worked hard. Life in a big city is not easy, so I can only come back in shame. You should have gone to many places. Can you tell us about the outside world?"

"What's wrong with this? Anyway, I'll talk about it a little bit," Liu Xiu smiled, pondered for a while, and thought for a while and said, "Actually, the world outside is not that beautiful. Most people live a hard life like you, year after year. The difference is that their lifestyles are different. Some people farm, some people collect herbs, and some people are humble as apprentices. In short, life is very difficult..."

Liu Xiu said that the elderly also listened to the lives of ordinary people in other places and communicated with people around him in local dialect from time to time, while the others showed a 'but that' expression.

After talking about the lives of ordinary people, Liu Xiuyou told them about the different scenery and architecture he saw. After the old man's translation, people were amazed, as if they were saying that there was such a magical place.

What does an endless forest look like? What does it mean to be a manor hundreds of times larger than their village? What does a city with millions of people look like?

There are so many things, for these villagers, it is no different from listening to myths and stories.

When Liu Xiu talked about warriors again, they were even more stunned. They jumped dozens or hundreds of meters, killed people from the air, waved their hands to crush the rocks, and even crossed the sky and escaped from the earth...

After hearing this, the villagers really couldn't think of what kind of concept it was. Is that something that people can do?

Some people were confused and thought it was unrealistic at all, some were excited and wanted to transform into such a person, and some even had a blushing face and thick neck, as if they wanted to see it at all costs.

The old man listened, interrupted and asked in detail from time to time, and whispered to the people around him. At the instigation of others, he stopped talking, but still couldn't help but look at Liu Xiu nervously and asked, "Young Master Liu, are you a warrior? Do you know those abilities?"

The villagers stopped talking and looked at Liu Xiu nervously and expectantly.

When Liu Xiu heard this question, hesitated and told them that the outside world didn't matter, and Liu Xiu just tried it briefly, just to increase their knowledge. But if he said more, it would inevitably break the tranquility here. After all, if a young man couldn't help but do something stupid to go out and have a chance, it would only harm them.

Originally, admitting that he had some of his abilities was nothing to Liu Xiu, but if he aroused the ambitions of some young people, it would be his sin, and he might harm others and himself.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled, "I don't know those things."

"Then Mr. Liu, how could you come here safely?" the old man asked quickly, obviously disbelief.

Pointing to the backpack beside him, Liu Xiu said: "I am a doctor, my medical skills are pretty good, and I have some self-protection methods, so I can come here."

Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, the old man still had to accept Liu Xiu's statement. He communicated with the villagers for a little, and the villagers also showed a look of disappointment. It was not that they were disappointed with Liu Xiu, but that they were disappointed but that they had no chance to see the legendary martial artist's abilities.

Yes, is the existence of warriors a legend to them, or did Liu Xiu tell them that they knew that there was such a terrible group of existences. You must know that there was no warrior in Qingliu Town, a town with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is normal for these villagers to have never heard of warriors.

In order to divert the villagers' attention, Liu Xiu took the initiative to ask: "By the way, during the day, I saw an amazing picture in the sky. Have you seen it too?"

"Young Master Liu said that, we naturally saw it. When you came, we were sacrificing the sea because of it. We don't know what that is. It has been passed down from generation to generation, saying that it is the place where the sea god lives. Every few years I see it once or twice. Some people have gone to sea to search for it, but they never go back." The old man explained, but after saying that, he looked sighing. Obviously, someone had also searched for this fishing boat stupidly.

Liu Xiu was not confused when he could not get the answer here. It happened that the old man's family had prepared the meal at this time. The old man invited Liu Xiu to the table, which ended the exchange and "gathering".

It was obvious that in order to entertain Liu Xiu, the old man's family took out all the good things, and all kinds of seafood were rich, as well as rice and a pot of bad wine.

The old man was obviously worried and didn't say much when he was having dinner.

After the meal, the old man personally arranged the best room for Liu Xiu and told Liu Xiu to have a good rest and leave in a hurry.

Lying on the bed on the second floor of the old man's house, when you open the window, you can see the bright moon on the sea. The sea breeze and the sound of the waves are a different experience.

The power of thought radiated slightly, and Liu Xiu saw the old man leaving in a hurry. At this time, he was staying with some villagers and discussing something. People were sometimes excited and sometimes confused and nervous.

However, they were talking about local dialects in exchange, and Liu Xiu couldn't understand them, and they didn't have any malicious intentions. They could only give up after a little observation.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change your destiny and get rid of the miserable days that will never end. Who would like to seize this opportunity?" The old man looked at the people around him and spoke, looking forward and nervous.

"But, is it really OK?"

"Yes, that person's origin is unknown. We don't even know who he is. How can we rest assured?"

"Didn't you listen to the village chief? This is just an opportunity. Whoever can seize it can change his destiny. This requires blocking. If you give everything, you may get better or worse. It depends on whether you have the courage to get blocked."

"The opportunity is right in front of you. Whether you can seize it depends on your luck..."

After a brief discussion, perhaps the opportunity to change destiny was too tempting, and a group of people reached a consensus and decided to take a gamble and seize this opportunity to change destiny.

However, if you want to seize this opportunity, someone needs to pay. What you pay is not a price, but half of the chance will be a blessing in disguise.

In the end, the most beautiful girl in the village was elected after discussion. She was sixteen years old and the most beautiful girl in the village, with the best figure, and the best expert in collecting pearls.

She was given high hopes and shouldered the hope of changing her fate and even the entire village. She was not forced, but voluntarily, expectant and nervous.

The old village chief told her seriously: "You remember all the aunts and sisters-in-law taught you just now, right? It's the first time you serve a man, but you must do your best. Whether you can change your destiny depends on you."

"Yes," the girl lowered her head with a red face, her heartbeat like thunder.

Then the old village chief said, "If you can succeed, just let him go. Remember to obey him in every way and not make him angry, let alone mention us. I think this person is kind-hearted. If he accepts you, he will definitely think of us. In short, everything is based on his will."

"I remember it all," the girl nodded and said seriously.

"Haha, okay, go. If you can succeed, you will be blessed in the future. Even the entire village may be able to change your destiny. If you fail, there will be no loss." After the arrangement, the old village chief said melancholy.

Then, the girl who dressed up well left and went to the place where Liu Xiu rested. This was an opportunity to change her destiny and change the fate of the entire village. She did not force her, she was voluntarily.

Although the people in the village do not know Liu Xiu's identity and origin, they can tell from his words that they are not on the same level as them. Perhaps the other party can change the fate of their entire village by moving his mouth. Who knows that even the worst result, they actually have no losses.

Seeing the girl go, the old village chief arranged again: "Next, everyone will prepare. I will go to the town tomorrow, prepare everything I should prepare, and set off early in the morning."

Only God knows whether it can change its destiny, but life always needs to continue, right?

The girl came to Liu Xiu's door with a nervous mood. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and gently pushed open Liu Xiu's door and sneaked in, and then slipped into his bed.

However, after pushing her, she couldn't push it open. She tried hard but couldn't push it open. In the end, her face turned red and her forehead was sweating. She couldn't push the small door open.

Could it be that the door was closed from the inside? What should I do?

After thinking about it, the girl left the door and went outside and found a ladder. She was about to climb the window, but the window was closed and could not be pushed open, no matter what...

There was no way, and finally the girl simply gritted her teeth and came to the door again to slap the door. Regardless of whether Liu Xiu could understand or not, she said, "Mr. Liu, I'm here to send you midnight snacks."

If you can't do it quietly, then just do it openly. If you really can't do it, you will be tough. The other party is soft and weak, and you have some strength!

However, after the words fell, there was no answer in the room, but instead a uniform breathing sound came.

In the end, the girl returned without help, and the door and window could not be opened, and she could not wake up. There was nothing she could do about it...

With such a result, girls and even those who are waiting nervously are in a complicated mood, with loss, helplessness and happiness, in short, they have to face reality.

Nothing to be alive.

In the room, Liu Xiu looked speechless. Although he didn't know what the villagers discussed, he understood the arrival of the girl. It was nothing more than giving away the girl, and the girl probably voluntarily.

This kind of thing is very common. Not to mention this world, even if it was like this in the 1970s and 1980s, if you can seize a chance to change your destiny, let alone sending your daughter-in-law, countless people will flock to you!

“Oh, it’s all for life”

Liu Xiu didn't know anything about this, so he had to pretend not to know.

The night passed so peacefully, nothing happened. Liu Xiu woke up early the next morning and was still having dinner at the village chief’s house. No one mentioned what happened last night, as if that thing had never happened.

But Liu Xiu still saw a trace of regret in the old village chief's expression.

I agreed to go to the town today, and I set off after dinner and had a break.

The old village chief did not follow him, only 10 or 20 young people sent Liu Xiu to the town, and they brought some seafood and the pearls they had accumulated before to trade.

For the people in this village, Liu Xiu is just a passerby. He will always leave, and his life must continue. If he continues like that, perhaps one day in the future, there will be an opportunity to change his destiny...

A long way from the village, Liu Xiu felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him. When he turned around, he turned around and turned around and turned around with a hint of regret last night, with no hatred or resentment.

After witnessing Liu Xiu and others leaving, the old village chief sighed softly and turned around slowly. However, at this time, one of his daughter-in-laws came over in panic, with a nervous expression, and was carrying a few heavy gold coins in his hand.

Seeing this, the old village chief knew that it was Liu Xiu left behind, shook his head and sighed: "The life should be like this. This is a huge sum of money. The whole village has not received a huge sum of money for several years. Please collect it. Next time I go to the town, I will distribute it to the villagers. Good man, but unfortunately, it is too far away from us..."

"Too much will only harm you. There is only so much that can be done. I hope you can improve your life a little," Liu Xiu said to himself on the way to the town.
To be continued...
