Early in the morning, a new sun rose from the sky. For many people, a very ordinary day had just begun.
Qianmo Village was located at the edge of Yuzhou in the south. It was an ordinary small mountain village. Since people settled here hundreds of years ago, it had been almost isolated from the outside world.
There was a stream in front of the mountain, and there were extremely rich forest resources around the village for collection. Therefore, even if this village was completely isolated from the outside world, it could be generally self-sufficient.
When the first ray of sunlight shone down, at the entrance of Qianmo Village, there was a young man in coarse clothes. He was only about ten years old and was already carrying a bamboo basket woven from rattan on his back as he walked out of the village.
The habit of many years made this young man always wake up a little earlier than others. This was especially evident in this relatively lazy village deep in the mountains.
This young man was called Xiao Ruoshui. He was sixteen years old and was a native of Qianmo Village.
Although in this generation, the name Xiao Ruoshui sounded a little strange, in fact, Xiao was a noble surname in the south. For example, the current city lord's family in Yuzhou was surnamed Xiao.
Xiao Ruoshui was an orphan who had been abandoned in the vicinity of Qianmo Village since she was young. Moreover, she had grown up under the care of the village chief's grandfather and the villagers. She should have been a person with nothing special.
However, that was only limited to ten days ago because the current Xiao Ruoshui was not the original orphan Xiao Ruoshui. In his seemingly ordinary body, there was a soul from another world.
"Alright, what ingredients should we find today?”After walking out of the village entrance, Xiao Ruoshui stretched lazily. The sunlight shone on his delicate face, making him feel very comfortable.
After transmigrating, Xiao Ruoshui's life was quite simple. Basically, she just walked around outside the village every day and then found some good ingredients to bring back to cook for herself and her grandfather.
Strangely, Xiao Ruoshui had forgotten most of the things from her previous life after transmigrating. She only remembered that she was not a native of this world, and her way of thinking was a little strange. However, she remembered that she liked food very much.
Therefore, when Xiao Ruoshui first came to this world, she was very excited and wanted to go around the world to find more ingredients.
However, at this time, Xiao Ruoshui found that her grandfather was seriously ill and bedridden, so she could only perform her duties first and take care of her loved ones.
Due to the good morning light and his experience of living in the wild, he quickly found a piece of ground that seemed to be buried with bamboo shoots and began to hoe.
Although this body didn't have much strength, under the control of its dexterous wrists, a sharp bamboo shoot emerged from the ground after a few hits.
In just one morning, Xiao Ruoshui dug out a bamboo basket full of fresh bamboo shoots and carried it behind her with a smug look.
"Hmph, this is a fruitful return.”When Xiao Ruoshui left the village, it was the morning when the sun had just risen. When he returned with a bamboo basket, it was only noon when the sun had just risen.
Standing at the entrance of the village and looking inside, there were already many residents busy with various matters in the village. It looked peaceful and quiet.
"We're finally here, huh?"
However, what was different from the past was that the moment Xiao Ruoshui stepped into the village, a cold feeling immediately enveloped his entire body!
At the same time, what Xiao Ruoshui saw also underwent a drastic change. The familiar scene around her seemed to be stained with a layer of blood. The air also became viscous and filled with the smell of blood!
What was going on? In an instant, this abnormal phenomenon only lasted for a short blink of an eye before it immediately disappeared. What appeared in front of Xiao Ruoshui was still the peaceful Qianmo Village, as if the feeling just now was an illusion.
Although the surrounding space returned to its normal trajectory, Xiao Ruoshui still covered her mouth and did not dare to move. He took a deep breath on the spot and exhaled loudly. He patted his cheeks with both hands to calm himself down.
Why? Why would I have such a feeling? Xiao Ruoshui wiped the cold sweat on her face and looked around in confusion, but she did not find anything unusual.
Therefore, he had no choice but to open the door of his wooden house with normal steps. Then, he familiarly separated the bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket and went back to the dormitory to take care of his paralyzed grandfather.
Just as Xiao Ruoshui pushed the door open and went home, three figures appeared on the hillside beside the wooden house. The figure standing in front of her stared at the small wooden house.
"It's him, Su Mengyao. Investigate his family and record all the features of his family. Xia Wu, go to the village and find about ten adult men to make flesh puppets for future use.”
The figure was obviously a man. A smile appeared on his lips as he gave instructions to the two beautiful women behind him.
These three figures were naturally Tian Chi, Su Mengyao, and Xia Wu, who had started their journey early in the morning and spent the entire morning flying from the Arctic Frost City to this small mountain village.
Because the Demon King had the Heavenly Demon Wings on his back, his flying speed could be said to be rare in the world. Even with two women, he could cross thousands of miles in a very short time.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Although they did not know how their Demon King was able to detect the identity of the Demon Slayer with just a glance, Su Mengyao and Xia Wu replied and immediately disappeared.
"I see, I see.”When the two subordinates left in an instant, a hint of excitement appeared in Tian Chi's eyes as he looked at the sky happily.
There were over a hundred people in the entire Qianmo Village. How did Tian Chi immediately lock onto that youth, Xiao Ruoshui, as his target?
It was very simple because Xiao Ruoshui was filled with a strange aura from head to toe. She was filled with an aura that seemed to live in this world, but was actually incompatible with this world.
Tian Chi found it hard to describe this strange feeling with words. It was like a duck feather mixed in a flock of chicken feathers. No matter how hard he tried to hide his essence, it was difficult to change the essence of his soul.
"Then I can use this feeling to locate the Demon Slayer in the future. It will be much easier.”Tian Chi smiled, instantly having a feeling of confidence multiplying.
A moment later, Su Mengyao took the lead and returned to her side. She then reported the information she had obtained to Her Highness.
Because the extreme ice demons had a high sensitivity to air and water flow, Su Mengyao could detect the surrounding situation through the flow of air. In a short while, she had investigated the situation in the small wooden house clearly.
" There are only two figures in the wooden house. Aside from the young man, there is only an old man left. It looks like he has been in bed for a long time and is extremely weak.”
Although Su Mengyao had not even taken half a step into the wooden house, she already had a pretty good grasp of the situation inside.
In fact, Xiao Ruoshui's grandfather, Zita, had indeed not been able to get out of bed for many years because of a serious illness. All his daily life was maintained by his 16-year-old grandson.
"Old man, your body is weak. Perhaps we can start from this aspect.”Tian Chi pondered for a moment when he heard this and roughly decided on his next course of action.
For the unknown Demon Slayer, Tian Chi wanted to let him live a more satisfied life while avoiding stimulation. He also wanted to try to dispel his fighting spirit and let this human who had the qualifications to be a Demon Slayer continue to be decadent.
It did not seem difficult, but it was not so easy to implement. Besides, there were more than a hundred Demon Slayers scattered in the world. It was a race against time to finish the work before they grew up.
However, Xiao Ruoshui did not know that a huge net was falling on her. After entering the wooden house, she still separated the bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket with familiarity and began to prepare lunch for today.
The area of this wooden house was actually not considered large, but only Xiao Ruoshui and Zita were currently living here.
Moreover, the current chief of Qianmo Village, Zita, had long collapsed on his bed a few years ago. In fact, there were many places here that were basically only used by Xiao Ruoshui alone.
These slightly old ones could be dried in the sun, and these tender ones could be cooked and eaten today.
Not long after, Xiao Ruoshui stayed in the kitchen, which looked simple but had all kinds of utensils and seasonings, and began to prepare lunch for today.
Probably because she often cooked, Xiao Ruoshui could be said to be quite skilled in doing these housework. She cut seven or eight bamboo shoots into slices and marinated them. Then, she cooked the rice and hot dishes. This whole process was completed in a short time.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
A moment later, Xiao Ruoshui had already brought the food to the innermost room of the wooden house. Waves of weak coughs were constantly echoing in the room. The voice sounded old and weak, and it was not difficult to guess that it was emitted by a seriously ill old man.
"Grandpa, try it. This is a top-grade bamboo shoot.”
When they entered the wooden house, they saw a pale-faced old man lying on the bed. Xiao Ruoshui held a bowl of rice with both hands and handed it over. She also used a small table to put the food on the bed for the old man to eat.
This old man who seemed to be seriously ill was the village chief of Qianmo Village and the grandfather who raised Xiao Ruoshui. Although the two of them were not really related by blood, looking at them now, they were even closer than that.
