Cling, clatter...

Broken silver and copper coins fell on the floor, rolling and making a series of crisp sounds.

Seeing this situation!

The woman's eyes instantly lit up.

Hearing the sound, the young man turned his head and saw the money in a place, his eyes instantly widened.

Xun Xie was nervous.

"Ah, so much money!"

The young man exclaimed, turned his head suddenly, stared at Xun Xie, pointed at the money, and asked, "Where did these come from?"

"Where else could it come from." The corner of the woman's mouth blossomed happily, "The village was destroyed, and only this stupid boy survived. He went from house to house to find all the good things. Not all good things will fall into his hands. And I was saying I wasted the money but now…"

Neither of them realized that this debunked their previous assumption that robbers raided the village.

"Okay, you idiot." The young man grinned, "No wonder I searched around the village just now, but I couldn't find any valuables. It's all on you."

Saying that he bent down and started picking up money.

The woman is also quick to pick up the money.

Xun Xie looked at the pair of men and women. They were wearing robes and skirts with the characteristics of ancient costumes. Thick hands and feet, and undisguised greed in their faces, which made him feel inexplicable danger.

"They won't be plotting against me, right?" Xun Xie's money was exposed, and he would definitely be robbed.

The question is, do they just steal money?

Technically it was their village more than it was his so he could barely allow it.

He also thought of something important, memories and language were stored in the brain not the soul so that's why he was able to speak this language similiar to Chinese! But why hadn't he learned to read or why hadn't he known his name was Yin Shen?

Soon after it hit Xun Xie, like these two said the original owner was dumb so of course there was nothing much in the brain he could benefit from, the basic speech functions were preserved so speech was possible. As for why he couldn't read based on the woman's earlier words, this was a remote village after all not knowing how to read was reasonable, this seemed to be a world in the ancient era as well so literacy should be rare. His predecessor couldn't read so neither could he!

The two men and women picked up the money again and counted it. There were forty-three taels of silver alone.

Both of their faces were joyful, and their faces were full of upstart smiles.

"More than forty taels of silver, I’m rich, I’m rich!” the woman exclaimed with joy.

"Haha, it's all ours." The young man laughed as if Xun Xie was air.

At this time, the young man swept his gaze, found the bamboo basket, walked over, and kicked it over.

"Daughter-in-law, look, there is wild ginseng here, a big one, haha, at least one hundred taels can be sold."

"There is also a piece of Ganoderma lucidum, such a big piece, it can be sold for fifty taels anyway."

He exclaimed again and again.

"One hundred taels, fifty taels!"

The woman turned her head to look at the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, and her expression became excited.

Then, the two of them thought of something, looked at each other, and looked at Xun Xie at the same time.

"Yin Shen where did the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum come from?" The woman asked with a smile on her face.

Xun Xie pursed his lips, raised his finger, and pointed to the mountain. He didn't say anything, maintaining the persona.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"It was picked from the mountain? Haha, you idiot, you are lucky." The woman looked at Xun Xie with a hint of ill will in her eyes.

She stuffed the purse into her arms and took the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

"Daughter-in-law, our house has collapsed, and our home is gone, what should we do next?" the young man asked.

The woman thought for a while, "Anyway, this village is poor and dilapidated. I don't want to stay here for a long time. With this money, hehe, it's enough for us to buy a new house in Blue Grain Town."

"Okay, let's do that."

The young man nodded quickly and squinted at Xun Xie, "What should I do with this idiot? Otherwise, leave him here."

"You're stupid." The woman rolled her eyes, "Although this stupid boy has a bad brain, he has hands and feet and can work. If we sell him to a big family as a slave, won't we make a fortune again?"

"Good idea!"

The young man slapped his thigh, then walked towards Xun Xie, and said with a wicked smile: "Fool, all your family members are dead, you are alone, come with me, and I will take you to the town to enjoy happiness."

He came to Xun Xie, looked down, took off the belt of his trousers, and was about to stretch out his hand to tie Xun Xie.

Xun Xie wasn’t stupid, he was wary from the beginning, and seeing the wicked smile he was instantly alert.

Swish!

A cold light flashed!

Just as the young man leaned forward, Xun Xie quickly swung his hoe reflexively.

The young man froze at that moment, his expression twisted.

The hoe crossed his neck, from left to right, and blood leaked out.

Xun Xie suddenly pulled out his hoe.

Puff!

Blood spurted out suddenly, like spring water.

The young man fell down slowly and fell in front of Xun Xie, looking at Xun Xie with disbelief on his face.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she saw the hoe on the neck of the young man, and the tragic appearance of blood spurting from the back. She was frightened and screamed,

ahhh!

Xun Xie was panting heavily, his body trembling slightly.

The blood sprayed on his face, it was hot and humid, a little hot, and the smell of blood filled his nose, making him almost nauseous.

He looked down at the young man killed by himself, his mind was almost blank.

‘I killed….?’

But the woman's scream woke Xun Xie.

"You forced me." Xun Xie took a deep breath, grabbed the hoe, and rushed toward the woman.

"You, you, don't!" The woman ran away, running around like crazy, calling for help as she ran.

Two people are in the temple, one running, and the other chasing.

Suddenly, the woman stepped on her skirt and fell to the ground.

Xun Xie rushed over directly, raised his hoe, and slashed.

Pfft!

The sickle was inserted from the back and was blocked by a rib, which did not kill the woman, but only made the woman scream.

The grating sensation transmitted by the hoe made Xun Xie himself shiver.

Xun Xie pulled the hoe vigorously, but it didn't come out the first time. He was caught by the bone. He raised one foot and stepped on the woman's back, and then pulled up hard, and then he pulled it out.

He froze feeling the frail insides of human being…

I..I..

Remembering the man from before.

I killed someone! Why did I?..

…

Xun Xie shook in terror before quickly coming to halt.

“That’s right! It’s their fault! This is self-defense I have to kill them they were clearly the danger I was worried about, human traffickers! I’m just a child right now I can’t afford for them to tell their friends to come to kidnap me!”

Xun Xie felt a wave of primal anger surge up within him after the initial timidness from seeing fellow villagers who were adults. He had to protect himself!

Then, he rode on the woman's back, put the sickle across the woman's neck, and pulled it to the side.

The woman finally stopped screaming.

Xun Xie sat on the woman, gasping for breath.

I don't know how long it took, Xun Xie came back to his senses and found that blood was flowing all around him, like a blooming red flower under the woman's body.

Xun Xie still clenched the hoe tightly, his arm was already stiff, and slowly, he let go of his fingers.

He froze seeing the glaring red blood.

What have I done…

…

"The two of you went back to your family house to visit relatives, escaped a catastrophe, and were not eaten by the Bodhisattva. It should have been a fortune among misfortunes, but you shouldn't be so vicious, just greedy for money, why do you still want to sell me?"

Xun Xie muttered to himself, comforting himself.

He never thought that he would kill, and when everything came suddenly, he had no choice.

"Hughu…"

He still vomited in the end, another meat dish wasted.

Fortunately, most of it was digested.

Xun Xie knelt on the ground in front of his vomit.

Trembling nonstop. No matter how he justified it, her screams echoed in his mind, his bulging eyes seems to still be staring at him.

Xun Xie didn’t feel the time passing at all, only when his knees became to feel sore did he regain his senses.

At this time, Xun Xie had calmed down a little bit and then calmed down a lot.

He was justified, he was in the right!

He kept chanting to himself like a Buddhist scripture.

He looked at the two corpses on the ground, took back the money, wild ginseng, and Ganoderma lucidum, then walked out the door, turning his eyes to the flatbed truck parked in front of the door.

At this time, a unique cry sounded.

When Xun Xie turned his head, he saw a donkey tied to a tree at the entrance of the village, with a cushion on his back.

It seemed that this donkey belonged to the pair of dog woman and man.

Xun Xie ignored the donkey, pushed the flatbed cart into the hall, and dragged the two bodies onto the cart.

Searched them for a bit and put their belongings separately.

Each corpse was very heavy.

Xun Xie couldn't move, he could only move a little bit, and it took half an hour to pull the two bodies into the car. His mantra became more detailed, he had to stop himself from being sold he just had a new life and couldn’t waste it.

Afterward, Xun Xie went out with his cart.

Came to the wasteland outside the village.

Next to the burial of the remains of the villagers, a large pit was dug, and the dog woman, and man were buried in it.

After disposing of the corpse, Xun Xie returned to the Temple of Earth and looked around, the hall was covered in blood.

Even his bedboard, mosquito nets, and sheets were sprinkled with a lot of blood.
