Zhang Xiaoyuan remembers that when she left the village three years ago, the village chief was still in good health.

Even at the age of fifty, because he received a divine blessing in his forties, his physique was greatly enhanced, making him as strong as a young man in his twenties.

But now... he is weak and on the verge of collapse.

“Alas, last year a magical beast came to the vicinity of the village. That beast was very cunning. It would grab people and run away, never staying in the village. In order to get rid of this bastard, I made the difficult decision to use myself as bait to attract the beast’s attention.”

Unfortunately, that monster was not only cunning, but also several levels higher than me. I was no match for it. Not only did it tear off my arm and severely injure me, but it also managed to escape.

But that beast didn't fare too well either. I risked half my life to cut off its manhood, so it can no longer breed and wreak havoc on our village. After that, perhaps out of fear, that beast never appeared again.

The village chief said with a smile.

Although he is now almost powerless and physically weak, it is worth it to solve a major problem for the villagers and create a safe environment for them!

"Grandpa the village chief!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt sad. Looking at the village chief's current state, she feared that his life force would soon be exhausted, and he would reach the end of his life.

Fortunately, he had a lot of good stuff in his backpack, including a lot of high-level materials, most of which were healing and life-saving materials, which could completely heal the village chief's injuries.

"Alright, go home and tidy up first. Although someone cleans your house every now and then, it's better to clean it again if you want someone to live there," the village chief instructed.

“Okay, after I’m done tidying up, Grandpa Village Chief, please invite everyone to my house for dinner. I brought back lots of delicious food from the Battlefield of the Gods,” Zhang Xiaoyuan said with a smile.

"Haha, I'll send someone over," the village chief said with a hearty laugh.

……

Leaving the cemetery, Zhang Xiaoyuan walked through the sparsely populated village and arrived at the end of the village, where he saw his former "home".

Green ivy covered the red brick wall, and morning glories were in full bloom in front of the door. A stray dog ​​raised its leg and sneered at a morning glory, marking it as its territory.

Seeing this house brought back memories of the past for Zhang Xiaoyuan, making her feelings complicated once again.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyuan's face darken, Ishida sensed that Zhang Xiaoyuan was talking about dogs, so he let out a strange cry and ran towards the gray mongrel with bared teeth and claws.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The stray dog, which was spraying water, was startled. What was that black thing running towards it? Had the big black dog from next door come to avenge the theft of its wife?

"Hey, you naughty dog, you've got some nerve! Not only did you dare to pee at Brother Yuan's house, but you also dared to bare your teeth at me. Let's see how I teach you a lesson!"

Ishida stared wide-eyed, baring his teeth as he spoke.

With a loud shout, it pounced on the stray dog.

"Ouch!"

The dog wanted to fight back, but it quickly sensed the powerful aura emanating from Ishida and immediately turned and ran away.

Although level 11 is still in the novice stage, it is already considered a fledgling "martial arts master" to ordinary people and unmutated animals, and can easily crush them.

"Hehe, now you know what fear is, huh?"

Ishida laughed triumphantly, but at that moment, a small pebble flew over and hit Ishida on the butt.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! Who was it? Which shameless bastard attacked me?!"

Ishida clutched his backside and yelled, looking around angrily.

Upon discovering a patch of overgrown weeds swaying in the alley outside the courtyard wall, they immediately went to investigate.

call out!

Just then, another small stone flew by, but this time Ishida gave an early warning. The moment the stone flew out, he saw the trajectory of the shot, twisted his body to easily dodge it, sneered, and slammed his right foot into the ground while running.

The earth's energy gathered in his hand, and a clay spear slowly took shape.

"go with!"

Ishida shouted coldly, and his earthen spear shot into the grass at an extremely fast speed, blasting a large crater with a "boom".

"what--"

Ishida vaguely heard a scream, and his brows furrowed. He conjured an earthen spear in his hand again and cautiously approached.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the boy was about ten years old, with one arm bleeding and wrapped in his other hand, and a crooked wooden slingshot was not far from him.

"You bullied Xiao Huang, you're a bad person!" The little boy glared fiercely at Ishida.

"Oh ho, you're trying to play the victim here! Let me teach you a lesson!"

Ishida sneered, "If this brat hit an ordinary person, wouldn't they be in pain for days? He has no sense of self-awareness at all."

"I bother!"

The little boy spat at Ishida, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Tsk, you naughty kid, you're asking for it!"

Ishida frowned, walked up to the little boy, covered the wound on the boy's arm with soil to stop the bleeding, then pulled a vine from the grass, pulled it off the boy's buttocks and hit him.

At first, the little boy could endure the pain, but Ishida had been beaten by his tyrannical mother for more than ten years, so she knew exactly where it hurt and where it didn't. She quickly made the little boy cry.

"what--"

After another scream, Ishida, seeing the bright red welts on the little boy's bottom, felt he had taught the boy a lesson enough and put him on the ground.

"Kid, have you learned your lesson this time?"

"Waaaah, you bad guy, you just wait! When I receive the blessing of the gods, I will definitely beat your butt into sixteen pieces!" the little boy cried loudly.

"Okay, I'll wait for that day."

Ishida chuckled and said, "Seek revenge? Let's wait until he receives divine blessing first."

Zhang Xiaoyuan held the key, opened the door, and found that the inside looked much like he remembered.

The empty porch, a few low stools casually placed in the corner, and an old-fashioned bicycle, the one he used to take to school.

Beyond the porch lies a rural courtyard, but it is just as empty, except for a large water vat covered with a wooden board.

Stepping into the main house, you'll find some simple tables and chairs, and an old-fashioned television.

The main house has bedrooms on both sides, but ever since Zhang Xiaoyuan's parents were killed by monsters while protecting him, he has never slept in a bedroom again.

Looking back through her memories, Zhang Xiaoyuan understood that the purpose of what she was doing was to preserve all traces of her parents' lives.

Even if his parents are gone, seeing these traces and smelling the scents in the air will make him feel that his parents are always by his side and have never left.

Later, in order to help children who had lost their parents and relatives, the government brought these children to the county town to attend school, hoping they could receive a better education.

However, in the memories of the predecessor, those memories were not pleasant.

"The past cannot be looked back upon; we can only look forward."

Zhang Xiaoyuan seemed to be talking to herself, or perhaps to the "him" of the past.
