I'm in the world of Xianjian

After Lin Shen returned to the Nuwa Temple, he called out the system and said, "System, will you blame me?"

"What's your fault?"

"I revealed everything about myself to the Witch Queen."

"No. You have your choice."

"By the way, how long did I stay in the Nuwa Temple?"

"Five days."

"Sure enough, the speed of space flow is different. I don't know how Ling'er and the others are doing now. According to the distance they traveled, they should have reached Yangzhou."

"Unfortunately, no!"

"What, what happened?"

The system did not respond, but only produced a screen. Through the screen, Li Xiaoyao and Anu could be seen in a village jumping and talking and laughing with the villagers.

Zhao Linger was lying on a pile of straw in a room, looking very weak and injured.

Lin Yueru was even worse off. She was tied up and locked in a small dark room. She had injuries on her body, and it was obvious that they had fought with others.

At this time, someone brought food to the two of them, which was only a plate of fruit, and Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru were very resistant to that kind of fruit.

Lin Shen got furious the moment he saw it, and yelled, "Ling'er~ Yueru~! Damn it! I haven't shown up for just five days, and already so much trouble has happened. What the hell is going on! System, where are they now?"

"Wuyou Village."

"What kind of shabby Worry-Free Village is this?"

Lin Shen was about to curse, but regained his composure, thinking: There's no such village in the original novel. It seems there's something shady beneath this village's carefree surface. What the hell happened? I had no choice but to go.

After retrieving the location of Wuyou Village, Lin Shen found and asked Gai Luojiao to return the wooden sign to the Saint Aunt. He then used the Leaping Technique to rush towards Wuyou Village.

Not long after, Lin Shen arrived at the outskirts of Wuyou Village.

It was a small village, with only about eleven or twelve households. Lin Shen first hid in a tree and carefully observed the village. He noticed something was wrong: everyone here was smiling, with no other expressions.

Lin Shen thought: This is not right. Everyone in the same village has the same expression. It seems like there is something fishy going on.

At this time, Lin Shen received a system notification sound: "Ding! Main quest released: rescue Li Xiaoyao and his four companions!"

Lin Shen thought to himself: There is indeed something wrong with this village.

Lin Shen observed for a while and couldn't tell where Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru were being held.

So Lin Shen closed his eyes and patiently used his Observation Haki to search for the two. After a while, Lin Shen found that Zhao Linger was imprisoned in a room at the west end of the village, while Lin Yueru was in a room at the east end of the village.

And in fact, there were more than two people, about a dozen people were imprisoned throughout the village. It was all like this, and no one was willing to eat the fruit in front of them.

Lin Shen thought: "It seems the key to the problem lies in that plate of fruit. It's not appropriate to act rashly now, as it might alert the enemy. It's better to wait until midnight, but that would mean Ling'er, Yueru, and the other prisoners would suffer more."

So Lin Shen kept lying in ambush on that tree.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Lin Shen used the teleportation technique to reach the room where Zhao Linger was imprisoned.

Lin Shen took Zhao Linger's pulse and confirmed that it was caused by fighting with others and lack of food.

But Lin Shen had no food on him. Even if he bought it through the system, it would be difficult for Ling'er to eat it. At this time, Lin Shen was a little anxious.

Lin Shen looked at the weak Zhao Linger and said, "There's no other way. I have to."

Lin Shen used his ring to conjure a small knife and cut a hole in the palm of his left hand. Blood flowed out of the hole, and Lin Shen clenched his left hand and placed it above Zhao Linger's mouth, allowing the blood to drip into Zhao Linger's mouth.

After a while, blood stopped flowing out of his left hand. Lin Shen grumbled, "Your coagulation factor is working too fast."

So he cut another cut on his left hand. Lin Shen grimaced in pain while clenching his fists to allow more blood to drip into Zhao Linger's mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Linger slowly opened her eyes. She vaguely saw a figure, but wasn't sure who it was. She said weakly, "Ah~Brother Anos~, is that you?"

Lin Shen gently shook Zhao Linger with his right hand and said, "Linger, it's me. I'm here." "Is this a dream?"

Lin Shen placed Zhao Linger's hand on his face and said, "I'm not dreaming. I'm really here. Linger, you'll be fine as long as I'm here."

At this time, Zhao Linger's consciousness gradually became clear. She felt a fishy feeling in her mouth and her chin was a little wet. She also saw clearly that it was really Lin Shen who came.

Lin Shen hid his left hand behind his back and used his right hand to help Zhao Linger sit up. He asked, "Linger, what happened? Why were you locked up?"

Zhao Linger didn't rush to reply. She touched her chin with her hand and saw blood. Lin Shen had been hiding his left hand behind his back so she couldn't see it.

Zhao Linger grabbed Lin Shen's left arm, and Lin Shen was caught off guard, and his left hand hidden behind his back was exposed.

When Zhao Linger saw the two knife wounds on the palm of her left hand and the blood on her chin, she realized that it was Lin Shen who used his own blood to save her.

Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, why are you so stupid? Why did you use your own blood to save Linger?"

"It's an emergency, there's nothing I can do. I just hope you wake up."

"Then you can't hurt yourself."

"Okay, you're yelling, and everyone in the village can hear you. Calm down first, Ling'er, what happened to you?"

After saying that, Lin Shen snapped his fingers and treated the injury on his left hand.

"Five days ago, Sister Yueru, Anu, and I felt something was wrong, so we came to this village. Later we found out it was because you went to the Fire Qilin Cave.

That night, the innkeeper brought a plate of fruit. Sister Yueru and I didn’t eat it, but Brother Xiaoyao and Anu did.

When they were preparing to leave for Yangzhou the next day, Brother Xiaoyao and Anu suggested not to leave and wanted to stay in the village.

We thought they were just tired from the long journey. But another day passed and they still refused to leave."

"Sure enough, there's something wrong with that fruit."

"At this point, Sister Yueru and I felt something was wrong, so we called the villagers to ask what was going on with the fruit.

But the villagers said we were meddling in other people’s business and that Brother Xiaoyao and Anu would be part of the village from now on.

We wanted to force Brother Xiaoyao and Anu to leave, but not only did they refuse to leave, they also started fighting with me and Sister Yueru. At this time, the villagers also rushed over.

"That's not right. When I was observing from outside, you were just thrown into this shabby room, while Yueru was tied up."

"During the battle, I fainted because I consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Sister Yueru was pinned down and captured alive. The villagers forced us to eat that fruit every day, but we always refused."

"That is to say, you and Yueru have not eaten or drunk for several days." Zhao Linger nodded.

Lin Shen said, "Let's go save Yueru first."

Zhao Linger nodded, so Lin Shen used the teleportation technique to teleport himself and Zhao Linger to the room where Lin Yueru was imprisoned.

Lin Shen immediately untied Lin Yueru. Lin Yueru felt someone moving her, opened her eyes, and after seeing Lin Shen, she said, "Anos~ is that you?"

Lin Shen said, "It's me, Yueru. I'm here."

Lin Yueru asked, "Where have you been these days?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you after I finish dealing with things here."

After Lin Yueru was untied, Lin Shen took her pulse and found that she was weak due to not eating for a long time.

Lin Shen thought about it, then bought two bags of sugar water through the system and handed them to the two of them, saying, "Hurry up and drink the water in the bags. I think there will be trouble later."

After Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger took the water bag, they took a sip and found that it was sugar water. Lin Yueru said, "Why is it sugar water? It's too sweet, it's choking."

Lin Shen picked up the fruit next to him and said, "The fastest way to restore your strength is sugar water."

Lin Yueru saw Lin Shen holding the fruit and mistakenly thought he was going to eat it, so she said, "Anos, you can't eat that fruit!"

Lin Shen said, "I know, I just want to see if there is anything fishy about this fruit."

After saying that, Lin Shen took a closer look. The fruit looked exactly like the frozen pears from Northeast China, except that it had some red and green spots on it.

Lin Shen used his skills to identify the fruit, concluding that it was called the Forget Worry Fruit. Anyone who ate it would forget everything and stop missing their homeland. It was also the main ingredient in Forget Worry Powder.

After Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru finished drinking the sugar water, they heard someone outside shouting, "Help! Someone is robbing the prison!"

Lin Shen knew he was being talked about as soon as he heard it. He looked at Yue Ru and Ling Er and said, "There's a fight coming. Are you ready?"
