After retreating, they came after them

Chapter 280 Another way out of life

Centuries-old snow-capped mountains lay outside several small towns, which blocked not only the opportunity to contact the outside world, but also the upper and lower classes.

Over the years, the people above have changed one after another, and they are no longer the same group of people, but the family and personal connections behind them are all in the same line.

In the countryside, such class is even more obvious.

The powerful families in the village always fix the group of poor people who have no strength. They can only listen to capable people and keep their heads down day and night.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary people to activate the stars in the sea of ​​consciousness if they do not have the opportunity to pray to the god statue.

What's more, the conditions for the emergence of skill stars are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

In a remote mountainous area two days' walk away from Haizhen, there was a woman from a poor family who suddenly awakened her first skill without praying to the idol.

This skill is mirror reflection, a life-like skill with no combat power at all, it can only reflect light, or use it as a mirror.

At this moment, the animal-eared girl who has learned the mirror reflection skill did not change her life because of the awakening skill.

There are no wild monsters in the countryside, and there is no "experience" that can be collected.

She doesn't know what "experience" is, and she doesn't have a clear scientific understanding of her skills, and she doesn't know what she can do.

Therefore, she is still a poor person under the village head, and continues to do farm work with no hope of life, farming at sunrise every day and returning at sunset, living for the so-called work.

In the early morning of this day, the dawn dawned, illuminating the dilapidated thatched cottage and sweeping away the darkness.

She got up from the bed made of straw, opened the big pot that was cooked last night, slurped a bowl of porridge, and drank it all in one gulp.

When she wanted to fill another bowl, with a snap, her mother stretched out her hand and knocked her hand off.

She pouted, touched her stomach that was not full, said goodbye, and went into battle lightly.

Today's weather is very good, but it has nothing to do with her. No matter the weather is good or bad, the farm work cannot be missed every day. The only thing she is grateful for is that today is not a rainy day.

When I got to the village storehouse to get the relevant alchemy potions, I prepared to go to the next door to get the farm tools.

According to the normal situation, she will take the medicine and agricultural tools, sprinkle the medicine at a fixed point, carry out cropping, and carry water for watering.

Since alchemy potions were used in agriculture, the growth of rice has always been better than expected, regardless of the weather.

It stands to reason that every year is a harvest year, and the farmers don't have to worry about their stomachs. The farmers here should have left production and gone to the underground city to fight.

However, in such rural villages where the thinking is backward and the system is above everything else, families with some strength but narrow vision are always stuck in the places to enter the city.

People at the bottom lose the qualification to go out to see the world. After handing over the rice, their own food is always just between the limit of being able to eat but a little hungry.

If you resist, you will be pushed back by the extraordinary power. Over time, everyone takes it for granted and doesn't think much about it.

The girl with animal ears who is engaged in farm work has mirror reflection skills, which does not broaden her horizons, but makes her unique.

In this village, the family background is not strong, but possessing skills is too high-profile, which brought a lot of trouble to her from an ordinary family.

The usually kind villagers began to reject her unreasonably, fear her, and stay away from her.

That is the awe of the extraordinary power that one cannot understand.

Coupled with the hostility of the village chief and the unexplained gazes of some people, she felt a crisis from the numbness of her work.

That is the vigilance of an adventurer's survival instinct, and it is also the only thing different from ordinary people after becoming an adventurer.

Her perception of kindness and malice towards others is more obvious.

She couldn't do these things before, but in the past month, she has become more and more aware of this.

Especially the youngest son of the village chief, who came to her farm every day to find fault with her, which was very annoying.

Sometimes, the rice grows well under the promotion of alchemy potions, but he can catch her faults in inconspicuous places.

Obviously other people did the same thing, so why are they okay?

No, the familiar and vicious voice rang in her ears again.

"Yugu, you pig-headed, the field seedlings you watered yesterday and several millet plants died, you must have sprayed too much medicine, how are you going to be responsible? Ah! Tell me!"

When receiving the farm tools, the youngest son of the village head, wearing a smooth high-necked gown with a dark face, stood up and publicly accused Yugu of his faults.

The animal-eared girl named Yugu panicked immediately, and repeatedly recalled the process of spraying the medicine yesterday. She was sure that she did not spray it wrong, why did the other party say that.

Moreover, she felt bad intentions from him, deeper than the previous week.

The others looked over in unison, mixed with doubts, dislikes, doubts, and malice.

"how is this possible?"

Yugu was a little panicked, she wanted to refute loudly, accusing the other party of wrongdoing, he must have done it secretly, this guy has been picking on her, it's not him, or someone else.

But when she turned her head to look at the people around her, the villagers all looked at each other coldly, and took a step back faintly, getting further away from her, as if she was the source of disaster, and getting close to her would bring bad luck.

Yugu's heart skipped a beat.

"Dad, Mom, I didn't do this kind of thing, you believe me—"

Faced with accusing Fang's ferocious face, Yugu's parents remembered some terrible past events, and they were immediately stressed. The two supported each other tremblingly, and dared not speak to the village chief's son.

Facing their daughter, the parents showed terrified expressions.

Yugu felt his heart was getting colder.

Instead of helping her daughter get ahead, but putting on such an expression, it is not obvious that she wants to give up on her.

Who can save her?
Please, anyone can come...

Although she thought so in her heart, she had given up hope.

The youngest son of the village chief continued to sullenly, and said to Yu Gu: "You have offended the Harvest Goddess, and you must accept punishment!"

"What punishment?"

She has lost the right to choose. Here, no one can help her, and she doesn't feel that she has a choice.

Huang Mao hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, footsteps came from behind.

It was a group of people talking.

Huang Mao turned his head and saw his father and several uncles, surrounded by a few glamorous people with invisible oppressive force, smiling apologetically with lowered eyebrows.

They belonged to the power class of the village, and they bent down, with awe on their faces, and at the same time mixed with easily detectable fear.

Who are these aliens?

It looks... so strong!
Huangmao originally wanted to reprimand Yugu loudly and carry out invisible PUA.

But he only glanced at the unknown strong man from outside, his mouth suddenly seemed to be blocked by air, and he couldn't say a word after that.

A group of people came to the center of the village talking and laughing. The village head bent down to lead the way, saw his son in front, and was about to introduce his good son, but Simon suddenly stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop talking.

The village head could only shut his mouth wisely.

The village chief is only a three-star adventurer, and he is already the strongest fighting force in the village.

He gave birth to ten sons and twelve daughters, and seven sons realized the skills, and they all worked hard in the outside world and climbed up.

Some sons work in the Great Adventure Group, and outsiders have to take a look at the face of the Great Adventure Group.

However, the outside powerhouse only leaked a little bit of star coercion through his fingers, and the village chief was so crushed that he couldn't straighten up.

When he was terrified, he could only bend down and obsequiously lead them into the village to find someone.

Other than that, he can't do anything.

The village head was very confused and didn't understand why the other party came here.

If it is for slaves with skills and stars, there are many high-quality slaves with skills in Haizhen and other small towns, so there is no need to come here to buy people.

"I heard that there are people here who understand mirror reflection. Whoever knows it can stand up and release it for us to see. There will be a lot of rewards. Don't worry about anything else. I can give you anything you want on the spot, as long as you don't ask too much." Simon said calmly. road.

He didn't say 200 million fine blocks. Putting this amount of money here will only arouse some people's undue greed. The 200 million reward can be given secretly afterwards.

That being said, Simon didn't look at others, subconsciously ignored them, and looked directly at the animal-eared girl with the most outstanding temperament in the crowd.

Even if you are a commoner, as long as you awaken the skills, your body will activate the adventurer panel, which makes your body different from ordinary people.

In terms of temperament, even if the adventurer does not train, in the eyes of other adventurers, he can vaguely feel the difference in temperament, which is the breath from the skill stars.

Not to mention the presence of four-star adventurers, Simon and the others recognized the person with the skill star almost from a distance of several hundred meters.

Now, people with skill stars have all gathered on the field.

The village officials all denied that they understood mirror reflection, so this young girl who had not been tested was the only candidate.

And this news was brought by Mr. Iron Tower, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

The girl froze on the field, not daring to move. The animal ears on her head limply covered her pink hair. Big cold sweat dripped from her hair. Her small head was already overloaded, and she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the animal-eared girl's brain was overloaded, Simon shook his head and asked the strong man beside him:
"Iron Tower, is that her?"

Iron Tower is not from this village. The nanny he bought with money came from this village. Before she was sold to the town, she heard that the neighbor's children had learned strange spells called mirrors or something.

The nanny herself has little experience, and she is smacking when she talks, and she dare not promise it.

Iron Tower didn't let go of the clue. He didn't even check whether the clue was correct or not. He went directly to find Simon and conveyed the news.

If Simon attaches importance to it, he will send relevant personnel to confirm it.

Anyway, the Snow Mountain team had a lot of money, so they sent professionals to the countryside on top horses to prove that the speed was much faster than the iron tower.

What Iron Tower didn't expect was that after Simon heard the clue, he didn't care about the authenticity of the clue, took him and the team members directly, got on the ghost carriage and set off.

Anyway, no matter how far the road is, it is not a problem in front of the ghost horse.

When the iron tower heard Simon's question, he came back to his senses, and pulled out the shy nanny behind him.

"Is it her?" Tieta grabbed her shoulder and asked loudly.

The nanny was in pain from being caught, but she didn't dare to say it hurt.

She immediately looked at Yugu, who was far away from the villagers, and looked carefully.

She knew it was very important, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense. She didn't confirm it until she read it three times:

"is her."

The youngest son of the village chief, that is, the little Huangmao who reprimanded Yugu, became inexplicably nervous when he heard that the strong outsider paid so much attention to him, and looked and looked in his father's direction.
