"This is for New Year's Eve. Why are you giving it to a stranger now?"

The woman's voice was extremely sharp, as if it could pierce people's hearts, and it was also filled with reluctance and surprise.

Zhou Fuhai sighed. The quarrel between the two people was particularly harsh in Lin Tian’s ears.

"But only this person can save us. If he succeeds, we won't have to live in such poverty."

Zhou Fuhai's tone sounded particularly firm, as if he had already made some decision.

The woman seemed a little hesitant, but then she thought of something and finally made up her mind to throw the food in her hand into Zhou Fuhai's hand, then turned around and ran out.

Lin Tian withdrew his gaze from the room and fell on the things on the ground, only to see Zhou Fuhai walking in with a large piece of bacon in his hand.

"There's nothing to eat at home. Please bear with it for a while."

Zhou Fuhai's expression was a little complicated, but in the end he handed the food in his hand to Lin Tian.

Putting the food aside, Lin Tian didn't say anything else. He didn't have to eat it, but at least he saw Zhou Fuhai's attitude.

"Thanks."

Tian thanked him lightly. Although Lin Tian took the food in his hand, he did not put it on top.

For Zhou Fuhai, it was equivalent to Lin Tian agreeing to their request, and his expression finally became a little more relaxed.

"Well, I don't know what your relationship is. Would it be inconvenient for a man and a woman to be together?"

Zhou Fuhai hesitated for a while, but finally gave Lin Tian a suggestion.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just simply feel it's a little inappropriate."

After hearing what Zhou Fuhai said, Lin Tian smiled, looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Thank you very much."

"No, no, it's just a small favor, don't be polite."

After saying that, Zhou Fuhai took Lin Tian out of the room, and then Zhou Fuhai's wife came in to take care of Murong Chunrui who had fallen asleep.

The two men came to another room. Only then did Zhou Fuhai sigh and kneel down to Lin Tian.

"I beg you to save my village and my villagers. You know that fallen leaves return to their roots. Letting us go would be a shame to our ancestors. If you can defeat the green snake, I am willing to work like a slave for you to repay you!" After saying this, Zhou Fuhai kowtowed continuously, and blood immediately dripped from his forehead. It can be seen how pious he is, and he even gave up his own dignity.

At this moment, Lin Tiancai discovered that this man was truly kind.

"Please get up quickly."

Lin Tian quickly supported him, and the two sat at the table. After pouring wine, Zhou Fuhai told the story of what the village had experienced.

Decades ago, this village was still the same as before. Although it was not prosperous, it was self-sufficient enough.

The people in the village were as hardworking and capable as they are now.

Until one day, a woman appeared and broke everything.

It was a rainy day and she was covered in mud and came here for help holding a crying baby.

The woman was extremely beautiful. Even though she was covered in mud, she was still so attractive. Her eyes were extremely bright, as if they had the power to charm people.

She looked at the villagers in the village, her eyes full of hope and desire.

Such a look deeply touches everyone's heart.

Who could refuse such a beautiful woman's plea, who could refuse the cry of such a child? So naturally, a lot of people came to help her.

"As the village chief, I took her home and asked my wife to take care of the mother and daughter. I thought they must have had an experience that was difficult to talk about, so I stopped asking and she didn't say anything either."

After washing up at the village chief's house, the woman revealed her original appearance. It was an extremely beautiful face, but it was full of haggardness and sadness, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

The next day she started walking around in the village. She was very hardworking and gained good popularity in the village.

It wasn't long before the villagers discovered something was wrong.

She was not strong, but she could lift the millstone that even a strong man could not, as if she was not an ordinary human being.

At this time, people began to speculate, and gradually became afraid to approach easily, for fear of causing trouble.

The woman seemed to realize that the villagers' attitude towards her had changed, and she finally told the villagers that she was actually a snake spirit.

This shocked the entire village. Some people thought it was understandable, while others thought she was unsafe and scary.

Finally, several villagers got together and decided to drive her out.

The woman was forced to leave the village. Before leaving, she held her child and thanked some villagers, but no one came to see her off.

"Thank you for taking me in during this time."

She shook her head bitterly, her voice full of loss and seeming helpless.

After hearing this story, Lin Tian frowned. The woman obviously didn't hate the villagers here, so why were they cursed? There must be some misunderstanding.

Thinking of Zhuyeqing, Lin Tian thought that if he was not mistaken, then she should be Zhuyeqing's wife.

Or maybe they are relatives like sisters, so that guy would take revenge on the people here. Of course, he must have his own selfish desires as well.

"And what happened next?"

"later……"

Zhou Fuhai sighed, drank the wine in the glass, and then put the glass heavily on the table, as if to remind himself to be more sober.

"Later, our village returned to its former state until three people came to our door."

"Three people?"

"I remember it was a Taoist priest with a man and a woman. They claimed to be from some alliance. They said there was an evil spirit in our village and they came to slay the demons."

Lin Tian frowned. What alliance was he defending? Could it be the Weidao Alliance? But hadn't it been disbanded in his previous life?

Later it was taken over by Yunxi and gradually evolved into the current Tianji Pavilion.

Could there still be remnants? Lin Tian showed a puzzled expression on his face. The name of the Weidao League had long disappeared from the world, and it was said that it had been disbanded. How come these three people suddenly appeared?

When he said the latter part, a trace of anger flashed across Zhou Fuhai's face. He felt that these Taoists were all liars and were simply here to cause trouble!

Lin Tian did not interrupt Zhou Fuhai, but just waited for him to continue.
