The little girl Hong Yan's eyebrows were in her heart, which made Qin Hao feel a little distressed. Unfortunately, she didn't have the strength to pick up the delicate little girl, so she could only rub her head and smiled: "Why can't you be by my brother's side?"

However, Hong Yan trotted away, obviously unwilling to answer this question.

Qin Hao also discovered some problems these three days. The villagers in this foreign land would come to the home of the little boy and girl every now and then. In addition to sending some food, they were more important, like supervisors, for fear that they would run away...

As for the reason, Qin Hao didn't know.

Huhuhuhuhuhu.

The wooden sword roared, and Hong Tao used all the strength he used, fell to the ground, buried his head on his knees, making people unable to see his emotions. After a moment, he got up again and kept swinging his sword.

Qin Hao found a stone to sit down, and looked at the boy waving the wooden sword under the setting sun, and felt a little moved for a moment.

"Stay a break?" Qin Hao asked.

However, Hong Tao shook his head and still waved his sword.

"Why practice sword?" Qin Hao was a little puzzled. This small county town was not big but extremely comfortable. Logically speaking, Hong Tao had no reason to torture himself like this. In Qin Hao's opinion, this kind of almost self-abuse training must have some reason.

Hong Tao gasped and stopped for a while. His arms were already swollen. He applied an ice bag and sat beside Qin Hao, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Tell me, it's so uncomfortable to hold it alone."

"Mr. Qin, can I ask you something?" Hong Tao looked at Qin Hao.

"You are my savior. Please, the two words are too obvious. As long as I, Qin Hao, can do my best," Qin Hao said.

"Really?" Hong Tao's eyes had some light and he leaned closer to Qin Hao and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qin... Can you take my sister away... You can go anywhere, never return to a foreign land. Mr. Qin, you are the only person you trust."

"Hmm?" Qin Hao was really surprised this time: "What about you?"

"The river god always needs someone to sacrifice..." The little boy Hong Tao said sadly, then clenched his fists: "As a brother, I can only die on my behalf... This is probably the only way."

"What?"

Qin Hao was a little puzzled.

Hong Tao looked at Qin Hao, but did not intend to continue hiding it, saying, "The foreign land is a cursed county town. People here rely on river water for their meals. Both river transportation and seafood are extremely rich. It was once a rich mountain village that everyone envied. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. From one day, a river god appeared in the river. At the beginning, he swallowed the people who crossed the river, causing no one in the foreign land to dare to go down the river. The wealth of the foreign land also became barren. Everyone thought this was the worst situation, but soon everyone realized that this was just the beginning of a nightmare."

Hong Tao showed an indignant look and clenched his fists: "Xiaoyan and I were eaten by the River God..."

After a moment of silence, Hong Tao took a few breaths and continued, "I don't know when the river god will start next. The river god asked a child boy and girl to sacrifice to another year in a foreign land... No one can bear to leave his children, but in that year, the river water spread and countless people died. This is a punishment from the river god."

Qin Hao frowned and wanted a boy or a girl. This must be a demon clan.

"We have invited many mages and Taoist priests, but they were all eaten up by the river god and never came back. Over time, no one dared to provoke the river god. In order to survive, everyone began to decide to provide boys and girls with round picks. Only in this way can the river god let go..."

So that's it.

Qin Hao looked at Hong Tao: "It's Xiaoyan's turn this year?"

Speaking of Xiaoyan, Hong Tao clenched his fists tightly, showing grief and anger: "Mr. Qin, I beg you... to take Xiaoyan away. She is so cute and beautiful. My brother cannot protect him... I am sorry to my parents..."

The little boy seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, and tears burst out.

Tears were flowing in an instant.

Qin Hao suddenly felt a little sorry for this little boy. Hong Tao is only ten years old...

"No one in the court will take care of it?" Qin Hao asked in confusion. This plane was a dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was in charge of the world. According to the rules, there would inevitably be strong people patrolling the world. It would be impossible for these water monsters and demons to cause trouble. This is shaking the basic foundation of the dynasty.

"Guide?" Hong Tao took a deep breath and showed hatred: "The villagers in foreign lands have written several letters to the inspection envoys here, but they have never been heard from. Of course, there are also righteous people who want to come and kill demons, but they are all swallowed by the river god and never survived. Over time, this foreign land has become a place of cursed, everyone is afraid of it, and what is even more desperate is that the river god does not allow anyone to leave the land..."

"Someone once tried to stay away from this curse land, but without exception, they were all eaten by the river god..."

"Then are you practicing swords so diligently?" Qin Hao asked.

"There were rumors in the world that the sword immortals attacked first, and they were unstoppable, and they could kill demons and eliminate demons... I... I..." Hong Tao lowered his head: "It's a pity that I am stupid... People often say that reading a book a hundred times will make you realize your own meaning. I just think that I can swing my sword ten thousand times, maybe I can get an introductory method... It's a pity that I can't do anything."

"It's almost almost. Three days later, it's the day to worship the river god. The villagers often come to my house to supervise, afraid that we will run away... I don't blame them, but that's my sister, I can't send her to death... Even if I'm going to die, my brother will have to die in front of her." Hong Tao raised his head, tears had long disappeared in his eyes: "Mr. Qin, I can see that you are extremely extraordinary. I don't ask for anything. I just hope you will take my sister away... I can die, but she can't!"

Qin Hao was shocked. He remembered that this little boy, who was only ten years old, had waved the wooden sword many times, and looked at his rough palms and his swollen and painful arms.

Even Qin Hao felt a little distressed... and appreciated.

Qin Hao shook his head.

Hong Tao's expectations gradually faded, and finally turned into a faint sigh: "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, it's my hard work. Just treat me as nonsense, but Mr. Qin, you must not tell Xiaoyan..."

"I know, but my shaking my head means not to take your sister away. This foreign land is your home, and you shouldn't be you." Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at the endless river water and said lightly: "What river god, it's just a river demon who makes waves. Hong Tao, do you want to learn swords?"

At the end, Qin Hao added another sentence: "Learn from my Qin Hao's sword."

Learn sword?

Hong Tao's eyes lit up. He has loved swords since he was a child.

As soon as the flying sword came out, no one could stop it in the world. The legend made Hong Tao fascinated, but soon Hong Tao's expression dimmed and shook his head and said, "There is no time."
