"Don't you really think about it? Ordinary people can't be his apprentice. I can recommend you to him. I think you are very good." Wugen asked relentlessly. It seemed that Wugen was becoming more and more interested in Zhang Shiye, for fear that Zhang Shiye would not agree.

"Thank you for your kindness, I really don't need it." Zhang Shiye politely said, although he wanted to become stronger, family affairs were important.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's have a good rest first. I'll take you back tomorrow." Wugen shook his head helplessly, his tone full of unwillingness, but Wugen thought secretly in his heart, which did not mean that he had given up.

"Yeah." Zhang Shiye nodded, with a guilty smile on his face. The old man had good intentions, but he was rejected by him. No matter how he was, he was still a little embarrassed.

Wugen returned to his bed and let Zhang Shiye sleep on the chair. The night passed.

Early the next morning, Zhang Shiye and Wugen woke up one after another.

After packing up his things, Wugen led Zhang Shiye toward the Crystal Village.

At this time, Wugen looked very old and his legs were not convenient. Zhang Shiye actually didn't want him to give it to him, but Wugen insisted on giving it to him, and he really didn't know the way, so he agreed.

This place is very far away and it takes a long time to walk on it. Zhang Shiye thought silently in his heart that when he gets home, he must ask his mother to make a table of delicious food to thank this kind old man.

The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, and Wugen liked the child Zhang Shiye more and more. He couldn't help but be kind, meticulous, and could chat with him very well, and there seemed to be no generation gap at all.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Zhang Shiye’s childhood experience that he has become so kind and mature now.

To be honest, Wugen still feels a little pitiful in his heart. With such a tragic experience since childhood, he can still grow up so vigorously. It is really hard to imagine what Zhang Shiye has experienced since he was a child.

Before they knew it, the two of them had already walked to the gate of the village, from morning to noon.

Logically speaking, the village should have been very lively at this time in the past. Why is it so deserted today? There are no people on the streets at all.

"Hey, what's wrong today?" Zhang Shiye couldn't help but open his mouth wide and shouted in surprise when he saw the scene in front of him. The scene in front of him was really abnormal.

"What's wrong?" Wugen asked in confusion when he saw Zhang Shiye's expression, without knowing what was going on.

"In the past, everyone was cooking, and the village was very lively. There was no movement at all today, and there was no smoke from the roof of others." Zhang Shiye scratched his head and said, the abnormal scene in front of him was something that he couldn't even understand.

"Then let's go in and see what's going on." Wugen said. Instead of making unnecessary guesses here, it's better to go in and find out the reason for this abnormal situation as soon as possible.

"Aunt Wu, are you at home?"

"Uncle Liu, are you here?"

Zhang Shiye shouted loudly to the portals on both sides while walking on the streets in the village.

But no one answered, and there was not even any movement.

Zhang Shiye felt even more strange. Why isn’t everyone at home? It shouldn’t be? Could it be that something big happened?

Zhang Shiye was a little panicked. If he encountered any danger, wouldn’t his mother be...

Zhang Shiye didn't dare to think about what life would turn out to be without his mother, so he suddenly ran forward like a crazy person and ran towards his home.

When Wugen saw Zhang Shiye suddenly became like this, he didn't care about his disguised identity as an old man, so he quickly accelerated his pace and ran up.

Back at the tattered little thatched hut, Zhang Shiye walked in directly, and Wugen followed closely behind.

Zhang Shiye's home is very simple and it is indeed clean, which makes people feel particularly warm just by looking. It seems that this is a family that can live, but it is a bit poor without a source of income.

"Mother, Mother, are you at home?" Zhang Shiye looked around and shouted while walking around the house.

However, no one answered. It seemed that something must have happened in the village. We must find the trace of our mother as soon as possible to confirm his safety. So Zhang Shiye ran out of the house like a wind.

Wugen followed Zhang Shiye and ran until he reached the end of the village that Zhang Shiye suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Wugen was a little puzzled why Zhang Shiye suddenly stopped while running, so he asked.

"It seems that there is movement in front." Zhang Shiye pointed to the wall in front and said. Just when he was running, he heard someone talking behind the wall, so he stopped.

"Oh?" Wugen was a little confused and walked directly to the wall, his ear pressed against the wall and heard it.

There was indeed someone talking behind the wall, but the distance was a bit far away. In addition, the wall was used for defense and was very thick, so he didn't know what the people on the other end of the wall were saying.

"Let's go over, quietly, not sure what's going on outside, don't let people discover it now." Wugen made a careful gesture and said.

"Yeah." Zhang Shiye obediently nodded his head and said, following Wugen quietly walked out.

But as soon as they moved out, the scene in front of me shocked me. Everyone in the village was gathered here, and beside them were a group of men who looked like bandits, all of whom were surrounded by people in the village with knives.

Although Zhang Shiye was shocked, he knew that he could not alarm the other party so quickly, so he carefully walked around a tree and observed the situation in front of him.

The two of them hid quietly behind the tree and looked at the scene in front of them. It could be seen that the men in front of them were definitely not in good intentions, but seemed to want to threaten the safety of the village.

"You hand over all the family's finances, and I'll spare you, otherwise we won't blame you for being polite." The man who looked like a leader among the bandits said loudly with a knife in his arms.

The villagers were talking and discussed it.

Crystal Village is not rich, and it can be said that it is very poor. Every family lives an average life, and the only thing worth a little money is that little food, but after handing it over to these bandits, there is no food for the family.
