Golden light sprinkles, the rippling Yangchun River surface is dotted with two or three black-headed gulls.

  Inside the bamboo fence courtyard.

  Shen Yi sat on a stool, holding a rag in her hand and carefully wiping the scabbard.

  She wasnt good at taking care of the wounded, fortunately, Crazy was often injured, and the young widow had gained some experience from him.

  At least first stop Ma Tao and Li Xinhans bleeding, re-bandaged into "human form".

  After Li Muzhen woke up, he hastily took out a few Dan medicines to feed him, temporarily stabilizing their vital signs.

  She slowly walked out of the house door.

  Her hair was disheveled, with loose strands covering her pale cheeks, and her breathing was weak, clearly showing that she had suffered greatly from the intense fight last night.

  Li Muyins expression lost a few points of charm, and her originally moist red lips were also slightly cracked.

  Staring at Shen Yis back, it gradually matched the figure in his mind from last night.

  She pulled at the corner of her mouth, her voice husky: "What about the others?"

  "They were just exhausted and didnt get hurt much, woke up a bit earlier and went to the government office to pull horses."

  Shen Yi put down the towel and re-hung his dagger at his waist.

  Li Muzhen dragged a stool over and sat down beside him, propping her chin up with the palm of her hand. She had originally wanted to ask something, but didnt know where to start, so she just stared blankly at his profile.

  Shen Yi finally couldnt bear this gaze, furrowed her brow and gave her a white eye.

  Li Muzhen burst out laughing, and a hint of emotion welled up in his eyes: "So youre really good at killing demons after all."

  She was so good at it that even she, a girl who had grown up in Qingzhou since childhood, couldnt imagine it.

  Although the villagers kneeling on the ground blocked his line of sight, the river gods mournful and miserable cry still echoed in his ears. If it werent for the encounter with life and death fear, how could the self-contained river god be so out of control?

  "I thought you were dead."

  The other party chased after Heifeng and entered the mountain forest, unaware of what kind of demon it was, but the River Gods expectant expression was all taken in by Li Muying.

  That was a completely trusting and yearning expression, with full confidence.

  Unexpectedly, it was Shen Yi who returned in the end.

  "Its good you didnt think that way."

  Li Muzhen stood up, gathered his smile and bowed to the young man with ease.

  If the other party has the same idea, then after escaping, the most secure way should be to rush back to the Town Demon Division to report.

  Facing a demon far superior to oneself, anyone who saw it would think there was no chance of winning. Under the pretext of sending back a message, even the Demon-Suppressing Department wouldnt blame them too much for leaving.

  “……”

  Shen Yi was slightly surprised and had not expected his opponent to suddenly become serious.

  He waved his hand, and before he could speak, his arm was tightly wrapped in a vast expanse of warmth and softness.

  "Haha."

  Li Muzhen reverted to his usual awkward self, hugging his arm and grumbling: "You scared me stiff! Cant even move my fingers, but still have to put on a calm and collected face. And with this acting skill, I couldnt even scare that river god, its infuriating!"

  She said, twirling her fingers, pitifully serious: "When you walked over, my tears were just a little bit away from falling out. Fortunately, youre handsome, and I thought about keeping up appearances, so I held back."

  The familiar touch was even more astonishing than Songs sister-in-law.

  Shen Yi was speechless and pulled his arm back: "Thats enough."

  When the spear pierced down, the opponents expression didnt even have a hint of fear, only a tinge of regret, and tears fell, what a joke.

  Li Mu-jin patted his chest with one hand and said with a big smile: "Its okay, its okay, as long as Im alive, my life is really big."

  The people of Zhenmo Si seem to be quite open-minded.

  Infected by her smile, Shen Yi tilted his head slightly, and the faint anger in his eyes dissipated a little.

  Perhaps it was from the moment I woke up in Liujiawu Village, Baiyun County.

  He was still in a gaming mindset and didnt notice anything out of the ordinary.

  As I thoroughly get rid of the traces left by my predecessor, I gradually blend into this world.

  Shen Yi inexplicably found that he had grown accustomed to the days stained with fresh blood, even to the point where not seeing blood made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  Violence is a tool for helping oneself survive in this chaotic world.

  But cant let oneself become its puppet.

  Shen Yi took a deep breath and her mind cleared up a lot, only then did she look towards the outside of the courtyard.

  The young widow held a few borrowed old clothes and approached reverently: "Sir, would you like to change into some clothes? I couldnt find new ones for the time being, but they are all clean."

  The madman followed behind her, with his head down, completely gone was the foolishness of yesterday.

  Her eyes looked at Shen Yi with gratitude and fear.

  His pair of clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, sharp and able to easily intimidate evil spirits.

  "Just bear with it and dont change."

  Li Muzhen shook his head. For the school lieutenant, returning with this attitude and achievements would help Shen Yi gain a foothold in the Magic Suppression Department more quickly.

  "Whatever, fine."

  The young widow took out a short ruler made of wood and said stiffly: "May I measure your shoulder width for you?"

  Li Muzhen seemed to see something and didnt refuse this time. He took over the short ruler and pulled Shen Yi up from his seat.

  "Whats going on?" Shen Yi was somewhat perplexed.

  "Perhaps its for making clothes for you and sending them to Qingzhou as a thank you."

  Li Muzhen pinched his fingers on the ruler and carefully measured him up, even including the waist knife.

  Reported the number to the widow, waved his hand: "Go."

  "Thank you, sir."

  Yesterdays little widow was still arrogant and unruly, but today she didnt dare look straight at Shen Yi.

  But its not just pure fear either.

  This expression made Shen Yi feel somewhat familiar, but he couldnt quite put his finger on where he had seen it before.

  The widow took the madman out again, and ran into a man head-on. The other party dropped a piece of fish meat tied with grass rope and turned to run to the next house.

  "He...he almost ran through every household in the village."

  The young widow picked up the fish meat with some helplessness.

  The man who was forced to swallow the river god by Shen Yi yesterday is eager for everyone to taste this delicacy, as if only in this way can he wash away the guilt in his heart.

  Only by swallowing this fish meat can they tear apart the lies they use to deceive themselves.

  As it is a demon, its impossible for it to raise three hundred children in the river.

  Chen Jiang is Chen Jiang, and his children will no longer come riding on the waves, nor will they take him to the River Gods mansion to enjoy blessings.

  Such a clear and obvious fact, once without excuse to cover up, will make people involuntarily feel ashamed and cover their faces.

  "In the year of great famine, people exchanged their children for food."

  "Left with no choice but to do it."

  "Now that I can take care of myself, when its time to cut ties, I will. Those who leech off others will eventually become demons. When theyre useful, Ill make use of them; when theyre not, they should be sent to the depths of hell."

  "This is the way ordinary people survive."

  "The demon-slaying officers do not need to fish or farm to make a living, they are all fed by the people, and not only cant provide food for them, but also take away another share from their mouths. They stand too high, if they are too demanding, its inevitable that they will appear somewhat arrogant."

  Li Muzhen placed his hand on Shen Yis shoulder, his bright eyes sparkling as he chuckled and said: "Lord Shen, would you be so kind as to spare them this once?"

  It is the deliberate act of some people to maintain their status, repeatedly engraving this grand ceremony in the minds of fishermen, as if it were an ancestral doctrine that must not be disobeyed.

  Yesterday, more than a dozen people, including the village chief, were instantly killed.

  To be honest, such ruthless means really shocked Li Muyin, but also felt a sense of comfort in his heart! The other party did what this group of Qingzhou youngsters dared not do, and did it neatly and efficiently.

  But if you add more killings, the flavor will change a bit.

  "They didnt spare you yesterday." Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.

  "Is this dress white?" Li Muyin rolled her eyes and pulled at the sleeve cloud pattern: "Those who take action should die, but the rest of the people, without their day and night hard work, how can we have a salary to eat... Hey, dont touch my hand, whats wrong with you, like a big girl, cant even be touched once."

  "Stay by my side."

  Shen Yi patted his shoulder and said casually.

  From waking up till now, I have never done anything evil, just seeking self-preservation.

  How did it come out of this womans mouth, as if she were a ruthless and merciless killer.
