"What does the selection competition mean?" Lin Hai asked in surprise.
"Seven days ago, there was a low-class person..." When the leader of the villagers said this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he quickly glanced at Lin Hai. Seeing that Lin Hai was not dissatisfied, he continued to speak.
"A woman from the mortal world suddenly appeared on the island. This woman was very beautiful, more beautiful than all the women on the island!"
Having said this, Lin Hai was surprised to find that the eyes of the villagers all shone with excitement, like hungry ghosts in their lust.
"I'm going, as for that, it's like I've never seen a woman before, uh..." Thinking of this, Lin Hai suddenly noticed that the villagers in front of him were all men, and there really wasn't even a woman!
"No way? Are there fewer women on the island?"
And the villager continued.
"Someone captured this mortal woman and presented her to the city lord. The city lord wanted to take her as his concubine, but the city lord's wife found out about it in advance and held a selection contest out of anger!"
"Each village is eligible to send a representative to participate in the competition. The winner of the Dao method will get this woman. Our village chief will represent our village in the competition."
puff!
Lin Hai felt funny when he heard this.
Damn, this village chief is weird enough. His son is so old, but he still competes to win a woman. Aren't you afraid of going home and kneeling on the washboard?
"The Lu family you are looking for is in the city. However, during the selection competition, people are mixed. In order to ensure the safety of the city, except for the original residents and contestants, entry into the city has been prohibited."
"So that's it!" Lin Hai nodded, and then he understood what was going on.
"By the way, you said that woman is also from the mortal world?" Lin Hai asked in surprise.
It is not easy for people in the mortal world to come here. Lin Hai felt deeply this time.
In addition to having someone to guide you, you also need to find the reef to enter, and you also need to have the right time, and you also need to have at least some skills. Otherwise, how can you gain a foothold in the sea?
Judging from the time, this woman entered a week earlier than me. I wonder who she could be?
As if they had read Lin Hai's thoughts, the leader of the villagers suddenly pointed at a short, fat young man.
"Go and show the portrait you drew to this young hero."
A shy smile flashed across the face of the short, fat young man, and he turned around and ran back to the house.
"He is the best at painting in our village." The leading villager explained to Lin Hai, "Our village is the only way to go to the city. That day, someone escorted a woman into the city. The fat man was shocked by the woman's appearance.
Heavenly beings, like fairies descending to earth, painted them!"
Just as he was talking, the short fat man came back with a painting in his hand.
"Young hero, please take a look!" The leader of the villagers handed the portrait to Lin Hai. Lin Hai only glanced at it, and his eyes immediately straightened, revealing a look of disbelief on his face.
"Let me go, how could it be her!"
Seeing the change in Lin Hai's expression, the leading villager thought he was also shocked by the woman's appearance, and couldn't help but smile like a man.
"To be honest, young hero, under our rule in Husang City, women are extremely scarce. There are less than ten in each village. I have never seen such a charming and enchanting one. It really makes my heart itch to see it. Village Chief
for
If you marry him, you’ll even give away your own wife, so she won’t marry him!”
"Well, your village chief is so courageous!" Lin Hai couldn't help but raised his thumb and said sarcastically.
"That's right, but this will give us an advantage, the village chief's wife, hehe..." When the villager said this, he suddenly stopped, and then looked back in shock.
But suddenly smoke and dust were seen in the distance, the earth trembled, the neighing of war horses could not be heard, and the darkness swept towards the village.
"No, the damned horse thieves are here again. Everyone, please hide in the mountains!" The leader of the villagers shouted in fear and could no longer care about Lin Hai. The villagers fled in all directions.
"Horse thief?" Lin Hai stood still and looked up, only to see hundreds of burly men on war horses, carrying broadswords in their hands, rushing over in a menacing manner.
The villagers had not run very far when they were overtaken by the horse thief. They rushed back waving their swords and trembling. They gathered together and looked at the horse thief on the big horse with a look of fear on their faces.
"If you don't want to die, hand over all the women and crystal stones in the village!" The leader, a red-faced horse thief, put a big knife on his shoulder, tilted his head, and shouted arrogantly.
"Second Leader, there are really no women anymore. You have robbed them all of them over the years. Even reproduction in the village is a problem." The leader of the villagers said with a grimace.
"Fuck, won't you go to the city and buy those low-class women?" the second master looked unhappy.
"We don't have any spar either. The spars all respect the heads of the family!"
The face of the second master immediately darkened, and with a swipe of a sword, he placed the sword on the neck of the leading villager.
"You mean, you blame us?"
"Don't dare, don't get me wrong, Second Master!" The leading villager was frightened and waved his hands hurriedly, with fear in his eyes.
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense and hand over all the crystal stones!" The second master also knew that they had robbed almost all the women in the neighborhood over the years, and only a few breeding people were left in each village, asking for women from them.
It's really a bit overwhelming.
But as for crystals, each village can still come up with some, which is why they come out to sweep them every other month.
"We have the spar, the second master will wait a minute." The villagers have already prepared it. This spar is equivalent to the monthly protection fee. How dare they not pay it?
After a while, some villagers returned to the village, took out the crystal stones they had prepared, and gave them to the second master.
"It's thirty yuan in total. Second Boss, please keep it!"
"Yes!" The second master grabbed the spar with his palm in the air, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, it's time to harvest human lives. Have any of you taken the initiative to stand up?"
When the villagers heard this, their expressions suddenly changed wildly and they were trembling with fear. They all knew that the second boss had a habit. Every time he collected the protection money, he would randomly kill someone. Whoever got impatient would dare to stand up.
?
In unison, all the villagers quickly took a step back. Only Lin Hai stood still, which made Lin Hai stand out.
"Huh?" A flash of light suddenly flashed in the second master's eyes, and he looked towards Lin Hai in surprise.
"Hahahahahaha, interesting! After all these years, I finally have someone who is not afraid of death. Okay, great!"
"Huh?" The second master was smiling when he suddenly spotted the portrait in Lin Hai's hand and snatched it away. Then his eyes widened.
"Who is this top-notch woman and where is she?" The second master's voice trembled when he spoke.
"He is a low-class man who is currently in the city." The leader of the villagers said quickly.
"Haha, okay! I have to inform my eldest brother quickly!" the second master said, taking out a clumsy mobile phone from his pocket.
"I'm going to compete with Chu Lin'er's cell phone." Lin Hai was surprised.
"Haha, okay, I've sent a WeChat message to the elder brother!" After saying that, the second boss grinned at Lin Hai.
"I am happy today that I can let you choose a way to die. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Lin Hai glanced at him playfully, curled his lips, and revealed a sneer.
"What a coincidence, I am also happy today, and I can also let you choose a way to die. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Lin Hai returned his words intact, leaving the second master stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.
"What the hell, I'll chop you up!"
As he spoke, the second master's sword suddenly swung and struck down at Lin Hai!
