C27 Another Group of Men of Sacrifice Came

Seeing a village means that the town is not far...

It was obvious that their speed was much faster than the large troops that had set off together. After all, they had the time to travel in light armor, so they didn't need to stop and walk. Once they decided on the route, they would be able to rush to the next location.

As they passed by the village's pond, they saw a few children chasing and playing around. It reminded Mu Haiyang of her childhood, which was similar to theirs. There were a few wilted ponds on the shore, and there were a few dried lotuses in the pond at this time of the year. There was also an old man wearing a bamboo hat and gray cloth clothes sitting on a big rock. He was dragging a pole with one hand and pulling an earthworm with the other. There was also a bamboo basket next to him. The children playing around were curious as to what was going on. This scene was really similar to himself, who had accompanied his grandfather to fish in the past... The water in the pond was unclear, but he could still see fish that had surfaced in the evening. Coincidentally, the fish was hooked. The old man was overjoyed and called the children beside him to come and take a look. He had a special sense of pride that was very similar to his grandfather at that time. Mu Haiyang stood a few meters away on the land and was stunned when she saw that. She suddenly wanted to go home and accompany her grandfather to fish.

"Haiyang..." Niansheng came back from the front and called her.

Only then did she come back to her senses. "It's fine. You guys go first. I will come back later." Niansheng's voice also sounded a little choked. She was a little worried that she would stay alone, but Mu Haiyang still insisted. She said that she would come soon, so she asked them to find an inn to stay in first. She could not force her, so she could only instruct her to come back earlier.

Mu Haiyang seemed to be possessed as she walked to the old man's side and squatted down to look at the fish in the basket. She cried out happily, "Grandfather got a lot today!" One hand was still shaking the basket.

"Yes! Miss, since it's such a coincidence to have dinner with this old man, let's eat together!" The old man generously called Mu Haiyang and was also very happy. He was alone. Eating was also rather boring. The wrinkles between the old man's eyebrows were not deep but they were somewhat similar to his grandfather. He did not know if it was the psychological effect of the scene just now or if it was really similar. He was only slightly stunned, and he smiled amiably.

Mu Haiyang looked at him and then nodded happily, "Grandfather, are you the only one in the family?" While cleaning the fishing line for him, she asked him. The old man gave the children one fish each and let them go home. "Yes! Today is a coincidence. I've never caught so many fish before. " The two of them said happily. The old man took a step on the basket on his back and Mu Haiyang picked up the fishing rod on the ground. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They followed the old man to his house.

Mu Haiyang clearly had a lot to ask along the way. The old man smiled and answered all the way. After passing by other families, they also received greetings from aunties and some discussions, "I have never seen Old Man Qing so happy before, right?" "Yes, yes, I don't know where this girl came from..." In a small village, it was inevitable that there would be some women who liked to gossip, let alone the two of them who did not care. Mu Haiyang was already very used to calling him grandpa. She really looked like her grandpa who only chatted with him very much. The two of them who just knew each other had a tacit understanding. Those who did not know each other would think that they were her biological grandfather and grandson. Old Qing also liked this talking and warm little girl very much. The two of them chatted a lot along the way...

When they arrived at Grandpa Qing's house, the other family members were almost done eating. "Haiyang, come in and have a seat. I'll go and tidy up and eat immediately." After putting down the basket, he asked Mu Haiyang to enter the house. The house was very concise. There were four stools on the table and four cups on the table. The cups were placed beside the teapot, one bed, one cabinet, and one bed. The bed was neat and tidy. There were decorative wooden cabinets on the bed and a small table and a chessboard on the bed. The only decoration was a painting hanging on the wall. In the painting, there was a scene of a woman standing by the river as a gift. The only thing that could be seen was the woman's back and a blurry boat. There were no words written on the painting. It was impossible to tell what kind of mood she was feeling.

"Coming, the fragrant fish is coming..." Old man Qing's voice came first. Mu Haiyang came back to her senses and tidied up the tables and chairs. She moved the teapot away and a bowl of fish, cabbage, and a bowl of tofu and fish soup. Old man Qing sat in the main seat while Mu Haiyang sat in the seat of honor. She held the chopsticks and said to him, "I'm going to start!" Before she could finish speaking, the chopsticks had already reached into the bowl and picked up a piece of fish. She put it in his bowl first and then went to pick it up herself. Old Man Qing did not treat her like an ordinary person who invited guests to eat more. Other than smiling, he just minded his own business and ate his own food. Mu Haiyang said as she ate, "Grandfather, I feel that you are not like an ordinary old man." She paused for a moment. "If you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask." She could not stop her mouth from eating. She talked to him while eating. He didn't answer, but just calmly and elegantly said, "I eat but don't talk. I don't sleep or talk."

"Alright, I know you ancient people have a lot of rules. I will finish eating and then..." Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled to the right by Old Man Qing. A short knife was nailed into the wall behind Mu Haiyang, and it was still making a loud noise. Mu Haiyang looked at Old Man Qing and touched her chest. "Grandpa is in danger!"

"Who is it? Come out!" Old man Qing's voice was very straightforward and carried a certain amount of dignity. His actions of eating did not seem to have any intention of stopping.

"Grandfather, you're really too cool. You're simply an expert among experts?" Mu Haiyang looked at Old Man Qing, who was still calm and composed, with admiration on her face. After that, the small room was filled by the men in black. There were five or six of them. There were only two of them, but Old Man Qing alone could handle ten of them!

"Is Haiyang your enemy?" Old Man Qing asked in a flat tone.

Before he could reply, the other party had already made a move to force Mu Haiyang. The two of them surrounded her and the rest rushed towards Old Man Qing. This group of men of sacrifice held double-ringed sabers in their hands, and their sabers were aimed straight at their vitals. They did not have many tricks up their sleeves, and each and every one of them was vicious and deadly. They did not allow the other party to hesitate at all.

By the time he fought with them, the table had already been hacked open. Even the dilapidated house would be torn down. Old man Qing easily followed the other party's moves, but Mu Haiyang was not able to. Then he pulled Mu Haiyang and jumped into his inner circle. The current situation was that the men of sacrifice were surrounding the two of them. Old man Qing's voice sounded, "Haiyang, you go first..." Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Mu Haiyang, "Grandfather, what are you saying? They came for me, so how could they leave you here alone? Even if I die, I will not leave..." Mu Haiyang, you are a fool. If you leave, the men of sacrifice will go after you. Why do you want an old man like him? If Mu Haiyang were to watch TV, she would definitely scold this woman to death. If it were him, he would really be confused!

Old Man Qing actually nodded his head in satisfaction and mixed into the confrontation. One or two people had already fallen to the ground and spat out blood, then died from bleeding from all their orifices. Now, there were only four people left. Old man Qing dealt with three, and defeated his opponent in ten moves. He didn't even manage to kill them, but they all died the moment they vomited blood. All of them died the same way and anxiously shouted, "Haiyang, be careful not to injure him!" He was still confident in dealing with one Mu Haiyang. Hearing his words, usually, this was a flaw. The knife and the sword intertwined. The man pulled out a short knife from his sleeve. Mu Haiyang dodged the knife in a hurry, and that person also unfortunately got hit by Mu Haiyang's palm. He died when he saw blood!

Mu Haiyang quickly ran to Old Man Qing's side and asked him with concern. Seeing that he was cleaner than her, she did not say anything else. Looking at the house that was destroyed by the fight, Mu Haiyang really could not give him all the money she had. "Grandfather, I will give you all the money. It should be enough to rebuild it. I am really sorry! " She smiled foolishly and scratched the back of her head.

Old Man Qing had the painting in his hand at some point in time. He waved his hand and smiled. "No need! I have four seas as my home. Fate will come and go, and fate will come and go. I don't need to care about these things. In ancient times, there were people who were willing to take the bait when Great Duke Jiang was fishing. Now, Qing Yuzhuo took the bait and Haiyang took the bait... This is also fate between you and me! This old man had just helped you divine a fortune. There is a huge problem with the road ahead of you. However, there is no danger to your life, but the problem lies with you."

Seeing that he did not continue to speak, Mu Haiyang teased, "I will not ask what kind of difficult problem it is... Heaven's secrets must not be revealed!" Seeing Qing Yuzhuo and ___ laughing again, this time standing in front of the broken house laughing loudly. The laughter also did not disappear for a long time.
