Everyone was stunned when they saw the child not far away.

The villagers immediately shouted their children's names and rushed over like a swarm of bees.

The children quickly recognized their parents and ran over quickly.

When Zhou Bin took a look, he realized that these were actually villagers.

Soon, the children were reunited with their parents and relatives, and the whole family gathered together and cried.

Zhou Bin looked at this scene and felt very comforted.

If I hadn't taken action myself, these children might never see their loved ones again.

Everyone hugged each other tightly and cried for a long time, and then the sadness gradually stopped.

When the parents saw their children, they were surprised and happy and thought they were dreaming.

At this time, several children told their parents that they were all rescued by this brother and sent back to the village.

The adults then noticed Zhou Bin standing nearby, and everyone immediately gathered around him.

There was an old man who immediately bowed and said, "My dear young brother, I am honored to meet you. Did you rescue our children and bring them back?"

Zhou Bin nodded and smiled: "Yes, I happened to see some soldiers escorting them, so I drove them away and rescued the child."

When the old man heard this, he was immediately excited: "Oh, then you are the great benefactor of our Xishui Village, folks, everyone, please kowtow to me!"

As he spoke, all the villagers knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Bin to express their gratitude.

When Zhou Bin saw that everyone was kneeling on the ground, he hurried forward to help the old man and said, "There's no need to do this. Please get up quickly."

As the old man stood up, everyone else stood up as well.

The old man was so excited that he immediately introduced himself: "My dear brother, I am the head of Xishui Village, and everyone calls me Old Man Li. Thank you for saving us children today. Please come and have a chat with the villagers."

As he said this, the old man respectfully invited Zhou Bin to follow him back to the village. Seeing that everyone was so kind, Zhou Bin couldn't refuse, so he followed everyone back to the village.

Old Man Li invited Zhou Bin and everyone else to his home, and then he personally brought tea to Zhou Bin and invited Zhou Bin to drink tea.

Zhou Bin had indeed walked so much and was a little thirsty, so he drank a few sips.

After drinking the water, Zhou Bin asked, "Uncle, is this place called Xishui Village?"

Father Li nodded and said, "Yes, this place is called Xishui Village, and the villagers have lived here for generations."

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Uncle, the environment here is really good."

Father Li smiled helplessly and said, "We are in a remote and poor place here. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, little brother."

Zhou Bin then asked: "Uncle, what were you doing just now?"

Old Man Li sighed: "Oh! It's sad to say, we thought the children had already... so we went to the mountain to pay our respects to them..."

Zhou Bin understood immediately. No wonder there were bursts of crying sounds coming from the hillside just now. It turned out that they went to the mountain to cry for their children!

Father Li continued, "But what we didn't expect was that the children came back safe and sound. It was like a dream!"

The villagers nearby also expressed their surprise. They had given up hope, but they didn't expect the children to come back.

Everyone expressed their gratitude to Zhou Bin, saying that without Zhou Bin's help, they would probably have lost their child forever.

Old Man Li was also very excited and kept thanking Zhou Bin for his kindness.

Zhou Bin was a little overwhelmed. So many children were taken away, and they just watched it?

Instead of trying to save the child, they ran to the mountain and cried. I really don't know what they were thinking.

But Zhou Bin didn't understand the situation and couldn't say it rashly.

So Zhou Bin smiled and said, "You are so polite. It's just a small favor. Don't worry about it."

Father Li disagreed: "Little brother, you are too modest. You have done a great favor to our Xishui Village. We must repay you well. But our life here is hard, and there is nothing good. We only have simple meals. But we also want to treat you well."

Having said that, Old Man Li immediately arranged for everyone to prepare food to entertain Zhou Bin well.

Zhou Bin didn't want to eat at first, but Old Man Li and everyone else didn't agree to let him leave, so Zhou Bin had to stay.

In a short time, the villagers prepared a table of food.

When Zhou Bin took a look, he saw that they were all wild dishes. They were indeed not delicate enough, but they looked very delicious.

Old Man Li invited Zhou Bin to sit in the main seat, and he and several older people in the village sat beside him.

A village banquet began, and everyone toasted Zhou Bin and served him food to express their respect for him.

Zhou Bin was infected by everyone's enthusiasm and started drinking and eating with everyone. The atmosphere was very warm.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhou Bin finally asked, "Old man, why were these children arrested when they were so young?"

When Father Li heard Zhou Bin's question, he sighed and said, "Alas, this is all fate!"

Then he narrated what had happened. According to Old Man Li, everyone in their Xishui Village had the surname Li.

Moreover, although these people live in heaven, they are still a group of mortals.

He only knew that their ancestor practiced in the mortal world and later ascended to the heaven with his wife.

However, because the ancestors could not bear the constraints of the rules of heaven, they wanted to return to the mortal world.

When the Emperor of Heaven learned about this, he immediately ordered that he be removed from the immortal register and his magic be abolished.

The couple instantly became mortals and couldn't even return to the mortal world.
