Chapter 41 You should know that Yun Xi never talks nonsense
People who walked out of their respective wooden houses groped for the walls and followed the direction of the road that had already been engraved in their minds towards the village center. They walked slowly, and every step they took seemed particularly laborious, and they even needed to use their hands from time to time.
Only by holding on can we move forward.
In a daze, the fear in Yun Xi's heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by sympathy and pity.
"Is... is Qing Tan back?"
A "monster" asked, his voice hoarse and harsh as sawed wood.
"Qingtan, is it...is it you?"
"Is it Qingtan?"
More and more "monsters" spoke, and their voices were all almost the same. The vicious curse also had a certain impact on their voices.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm back."
Qingtan spoke with a smile, his voice was clear, with the innocence and childishness unique to a young man, and he was completely different from his previous mature self.
He took out a large bag of food from the storage ring in his hand and said to everyone: "There are few vegetables in the vegetable market today, and we don't have much food to buy, so let's just make do with what we have."
The "monster" who spoke first said again: "It's okay, Qingtan, you can eat first. We old guys don't have much time left to live. It doesn't matter whether we eat or not."
"Yes, you have to take good care of yourself first. You are the only hope in our village."
Qing Tan listened to their concern and said with a smile: "I know, I know! These are the same words every day, don't be too long-winded! Come on, come on! It's the same old rule, everyone should line up to serve their meals!"
"You kid, you are becoming more and more disrespectful of the elderly."
The "monsters" laughed softly and lined up in a very orderly manner. They performed a series of actions in one go. I guess practice makes perfect.
If Yun Xi closed her eyes and failed to see the scene in front of her, she would think that this was an ordinary poor village.
The villagers have not discovered the three of them yet, which makes them a little at a loss.
Should you take the initiative to speak up?
They were all hesitating. After being startled at first, they should consider whether the three of them coming here rashly would startle these people.
In the end, the three of them did not take the initiative to speak, but silently watched the activities of these villagers.
They lined up and groped towards Qing Tan's direction one by one. They took the small box lunch from Qing Tan's hand, then walked to the open space on the other side to sit down, and then opened it and ate.
While eating, they were chatting happily.
"Qing Tan, did you make a fortune today? Why is the food better today than yesterday?"
"Yes, yes! I seem to smell the aroma of meat!"
"Yes! There is also soup!"
Yun Xi looked at the small lunch boxes in their hands. The amount of rice inside was only about the size of her fist. There was a little soup under the rice balls and a few vegetable leaves floating on top.
Do they feel satisfied with such a meal?
Yun Xi saw the same confusion in the eyes of Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan.
"Ahem..."
While the villagers were chatting happily, a "monster" shrunk to a very small size suddenly asked: "Qingtan, did you bring a guest in?"
The conversation suddenly stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became silent. Many villagers lowered their heads subconsciously and pulled their sleeves as long as possible.
Qingtan did not answer, but turned to look at Yun Xi and the others, and said, "The village chief was once a heaven-level warrior. Your arrival cannot be hidden from him."
As soon as he said this, he was undoubtedly explaining to everyone that there are really guests in Qingxi Village today.
There were no whispered discussions, only the sound of rustling movements. The villagers were not trying to drive people away, but were groping for a place to hide.
They are invisible now, but this does not prevent them from knowing the current form of people like themselves.
They are monsters, real monsters, and this has nothing to do with outside rumors.
Yun Xi looked at their reactions and took the initiative to speak.
"Hello everyone, my name is Yun Xi, and I have two friends here. You don't have to avoid us. The purpose of my coming to Qingxi Village today is to help you solve the curse!"
Her voice is pleasant, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she goes straight to the topic.
Everyone looked slightly stunned.
The village chief of Qingxi Village asked: "Do you also want to take Qingtan for experiments?"
"Doing an experiment?"
Yun Xi was stunned.
The village chief continued: "In the past, many people took Qing Tan away on the pretext of helping us to get in touch with the curse, and conducted various spell experiments on him. In the end, not only did they fail to help us get in touch with the curse, but they also caused Qing Tan to become deformed.
Weak. Do you want to be like this too?"
Yun Xi and the others looked at Qing Tan in surprise. Qing Tan explained to them before that he was petite because of malnutrition, but he was actually used for experiments?
Qingtan looked at them coldly.
Yun Xi took off her mask and said solemnly: "No, I'm not here to take him away."
"Then how do you want to lift the curse?"
The village chief doesn't seem to trust them.
In the past fifteen years, how many people have tried to lift this curse, but in the end even the county king failed. How could this little girl with a sweet voice do it?
"Before lifting the curse, I will express my sincerity to you first."
Yun Xi said this.
The sun shone brightly, and the light blue torrent rose from Yun Xi's body and dispersed to the surroundings.
Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan, who were closest to Yun Xi, clearly felt that the moment this torrent appeared, the surrounding odor suddenly weakened ten times.
"This is...spiritual power?"
Xiao Lingyuan was greatly shocked, and she stared at Yun Xi intently.
Isn’t Xiao Xi practicing the Yun Family’s Heart Sutra of Transformation? Why does light blue spiritual power appear?
The doubts in his heart just arose when Yun Xi waved his jade hand lightly, and the torrent filled the sky and covered the whole village.
Everyone feels a sense of freshness and comfort, like dew falling from the sky, washing away the dirty soil of Qingxi Village and driving away the dirt that has stayed for a long time.
In just a short moment, the peculiar smell of the entire village disappeared without a trace, replaced by fresh air and the charm of life.
After the spiritual power dissipated, Yun Xi's face turned pale. She looked at the village chief of Qingxi Village and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this sincerity?"
The village chief opened his eyes wide, and his white pupils were trembling violently. Although he had turned into a monster, he was still a warrior, and everything that happened around him could not escape his perception.
Other villagers also became particularly excited. They had lived in an environment full of filth for more than ten years, and the sudden change in the air made them unable to adapt for a while.
But no matter what, it is difficult to conceal their excitement and excitement after breathing fresh air again.
"It's... it's fresh air!"
"Dirty...has it disappeared?"
"Mom, is this the real smell of the air?"
"Well! Yes, poor child..."
The villagers finally couldn't help shouting, and some even burst into tears.
Just because... they smelled the fresh air...
This extremely touching and ironic scene deeply hurt Yun Xi's heart. She raised her head, blinked slowly, and then turned to look at Qing Tan, who was immersed in shock.
"Qingtan, now, do you still want me to take back what I said before?"
