After the Shi Family ’moved into’ the remote village, this girl was the third group of people to co here, and almost without exception, everyone who ca was a type of outdoor enthusiast.
Perhaps life was getting better, as many people began to seek outdoor thrills, so cases of lone won entering the deep mountains were becoming less rare.
The first two groups before them saw a couple get driven away, the second was a small group of five hikers, two of whom left the village while the remaining three stayed behind.
Those who left the village were, of course, driven away. There was already internal discord among them, leading to self-division, which gave the village an opportunity to take advantage, and the three who stayed were young people in their twenties. Where they were sent, no one knew, but they were never seen again.
The Shi Family knew that this group of people were not good people, and the fate of those three was likely not good either, because they once saw those people take a child away, only to return gravely ill, plagued with nightmares, and soon depressed to death.
The child’s untily death had a significant impact on the Shi Family, marking the point when they began to realize that these people might have no boundaries in so areas.
Now that three elders and three younger mbers of the Shi Family were in the hands of the opposition, the others had no choice but to comply.
Right now, Shi Jianbin could only vaguely make out a shadow, even two people standing together would beco ’stuck’ together visually, his eyes were ruined by these devious people!
Despite Shi Jianbin’s condition, the Shi Family still did not give up trying to get the ssage out, but they were quite unclear about who it should be sent to.
On the surface, various families seed to get along very well, but when a critical mont truly arrived, nobody knew if anyone would stand up, after all, harmony was one aspect, and competition was another, with competition weighing in more heavily.
Whenever interests were involved, people’s hearts changed.
But regardless, the Shi Family still felt it was necessary to get the ssage out. Scattered mbers of the Shi Family might have so ways, which was better than being like a fish on the chopping board, at others’ rcy.
Moreover, the Shi Family held onto so hope that although they didn’t know the identities of these people, seeing them raise so many children with ample spirit indicated that their purpose might not be sothing the public could accept.
Sending the ssage was not only to save themselves, but also to save these children. These children could be called the cornerstone of the Mystic dical World, all of them very promising seedlings, to be raised in captivity only to lose their lives was truly a great pity.
Furthermore, once the existence of these children was exposed, it would surely arouse public indignation and societal condemnation, at which point so relevant personnel might get involved, allowing the Shi Family a chance to escape.
The Shi Family’s information was very restricted, so they didn’t have good plans for many things, nor did they know what the outside world was saying about their disappearance, or even that there were those who wished to take their place.
"Brother, if that girl gets driven away, can we use her to send out the ssage?" Shi Jianhua quietly asked Shi Jianbin as he supported him by the ear.
When the previous two groups ca, the Shi Family hadn’t fully grasped their predicant and what the consequences might be, so they didn’t take any imdiate action.
This ti it was hard to wait for people to co again, so naturally, they didn’t want to let the opportunity slip by.
But Shi Jianbin shook his head, "This girl might not be able to leave."
Shi Jianhua was shocked by the words, his gaze fell on the figure that had now beco two small dots, "You an, this girl’s spirit is strong?"
Shi Jianbin said nothing, it wasn’t just strong, it was quite substantial, if this girl were a Mystic Doctor, she would definitely be formidable, what a pity...
For so reason, Shi Jianbin felt the girl’s voice was very familiar, a voice he surely had heard long ago and found hard to forget.
Maybe because of that, Shi Jianbin didn’t want anything to happen to this girl. He and others in the Shi Family quietly speculated that those forcibly detained and taken away were likely drugged.
Shi Jianbin’s eyes were ruined when he attempted to secretly escape and was doused with bad water, so bad water needed human blood as a prir, and even that had to be poisonous human blood, which was why they cultivated so many children.
If their guess was right, these phenona could all be connected and explained, but they had no evidence, it was based on private speculation.
Although this conjecture was about eighty to ninety percent accurate, the Shi Family, being a large family, wouldn’t easily jump to conclusions without evidence.
Shi Jianbin’s eyes were blinded during an attempted escape, nearly costing the Shi Family an elder, so the Shi Family dared not act recklessly again.
Shi Jianbin thought, having already lost his sight, if he ever got the chance, he must warn this girl, to let her find an opportunity to escape early.
Shi Jianbin had a sensitive constitution, this village had three people with sensitive constitutions, as he knew, as if an originally rare crowd was gathered just to sense those with robust spirit, and thus keep those people.
The village was small, but it had many mud-brick houses, for Shi Family adults, except those already married, each could have a mud-brick house.
Don’t think those people were being kind-hearted in this arrangent, living separately ant constant surveillance, preventing easy congregation for discussion.
Shi Jianguang helped Shi Jianbin back to the house, under the watchful eyes of two won. Shi Jianguang returned while holding his breath, a sign that they weren’t supposed to be alone together for too long, yet it wasn’t entirely forbidden for them to interact.
Outside the mud-brick house, there was also a small courtyard fenced in, with virtually nothing inside. It seed to be newly fenced.
Yet to Shi Jianbin’s surprise, that new girl was actually living in the mud-brick house next door!
"Thank you very much, I never imagined I could live alone in a small courtyard, by the way, auntie, is there anything to eat?"
The girl’s voice was very pleasant, like the tinkling of a spring, not too sweet nor too cloying, offering a touch of coolness in the chest on a sumr day, very comfortable!
The village woman chuckled twice, "It’s just the village food, it’s not a real farmhouse, as long as the girl isn’t disgusted by it, that’s fine."
"I’m not picky, thank you." The girl said with a smile.
Shi Jianbin listened to the gradually fading footsteps, turned slightly and asked, "What’s your na?"
"Shi Tian." The girl softly replied.
Shi Jianbin was montarily stunned; he hadn’t heard the na before. "Why did you co here?"
"For a vacation, climbing wild mountains is exciting. Why are you here?" the girl asked in return.
Shi Jianbin hesitated, wondering if he should reveal anything...
