This MC is so original

Lu Xiu and the village chief walked to the potato hill. The village chief looked at the potato hill, which was taller than a person, with admiration and exclaimed.

"This is the first time I've harvested so many potatoes so easily, sir. You've really opened my eyes. Please take these potatoes."

Lu Xiu shook his head. He couldn't collect all the potatoes. His backpack was limited and it was impossible to put all of them in potatoes. Two or three sets of food would be enough. There was no need for so many.

Lu Zheng was about to explain the situation to the village chief when he suddenly caught a glimpse of dozens of red dots appearing on the edge of the small map in the upper right corner.

[Torch Hillman], [Hillman Shaman], [Hillman Thug], [Hillman Crossbowman].

Combined with what I heard from the village chief before, that the village’s food had been looted by the Hilliards, it was obvious that these red dots were hostile creatures.

"Village chief, have people hide, there are monsters coming."

PS Chapter 3

Chapter 39 You just stand there and let Steve figure it out

"Is there a monster?"

The village chief looked at the forest outside the village, but after squinting for a long time, he did not see any trace of monsters. However, out of trust in Lu Xiu, he still asked the villagers to hide in the village.

After all the villagers hid inside, Lu Xiu turned his head to look at Ye Lan and the other two who had not left his side.

"Aren't you going to hide?"

"Although this village is quite remote, there are rarely any terrifying monsters in Liyue. At most, there are only Hilichurls and Pranksters. But how did you discover that a monster was about to attack the village? I'm quite curious."

The moment Lu Xiu said that a monster was attacking, Ye Lan immediately looked around and locked onto several locations that were most suitable for attacking and hiding herself, but she did not find any monsters in those locations.

"Saw it."

Lu Xiu explained briefly, then casually placed a workbench beside him and began preparing items to deal with monster attacks.

Seeing Lu Xiu's unhurried demeanor, Ye Lan became curious and instructed a younger brother, "We don't know the scale of the monster attack, but for safety's sake, notify the Qianyan Army to come over."

"Yes, my lord."

A younger brother hurried into the village, preparing to find a high ground to set off a flare.

Ye Lan turned to another younger brother and said, "Go to the other entrance of the village to prevent the monsters from sneaking around and attacking the villagers."

"Yes, my lord."

After Ye Lan finished assigning the tasks, Lu Xiu said casually without even looking up, "No need to send anyone to wait at the other intersection. Those monsters are heading our way. Just have them protect the villagers."

The subordinate, who had not walked a few steps, subconsciously turned around and cast an inquiring look at Ye Lan after hearing Lu Xiu's words.

After a brief thought, Ye Lan still insisted on her own idea.

"To be on the safe side, you should guard the other intersection and notify the other person to guard the villagers after he has asked for help."

"Yes, my lord."

"You are very cautious."

Lu Xiu couldn't help but praise him, but Ye Lan shrugged nonchalantly: "When it comes to the comfort of the villagers, it's a good thing to be cautious. After all, we can't just gamble and rely on luck that the monsters won't attack from the other side."

While the two were chatting, they saw a group of hillbillies emerging from the bushes in the forest two hundred meters in front of the village entrance.

Ye Lan observed it for a while and couldn't help but sigh.

"There are probably about thirty of them. Why would so many Hillbillies attack this village?"

"To be exact, there are thirty-five hillbillies."

Lu Xiu counted the number of red dots on the small map and reported the exact number of enemies.

Ye Lan crossed her arms and glanced at Lu Xiu beside her. Even facing a powerful enemy, he still looked fearless as he fiddled with something on the square wooden block.

Judging from the information Ningguang gave me, this square, wooden-colored block seems to be called a "workbench"?

Judging from the name, it is used to process various things.

"Faced with so many hillbillies, you warned the village chief but didn't follow him to seek refuge. Do you have any solution?"

Lu Xiu raised his head and looked at the hill people who were less than 150 meters away from the village, and nodded.

"Although the other side is a bit outnumbered, there are still many ways to deal with it."

"Oh?" Ye Lan became curious when she heard him say there were many methods.

You know, even when facing such a large number of Hilichurls, she could only fight guerrilla warfare. After all, no matter how weak the enemy was, it would be easy to get into a fight when their numbers increased.

In addition, even if she could easily escape the siege of these hillbillies, the villagers would not be able to do so.

The villagers hiding in the village restricted her movements.

Faced with the current situation, Ye Lan has only one stupid method, which is to face the enemy head-on, attract the enemy's hatred to prevent the enemy from targeting the villagers, and at the same time, destroy the enemy as much as possible or hold on until the arrival of the Qianyan Army.

"My method is very simple. I lure them together, dig a pit for them to fall into, and then do my pedicure. However, this method requires a person as bait to attract their attention."

As Lu Xiu spoke, he glanced at Ye Lan beside him, as if expecting her to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of bait.

Ye Lan glanced at him: "Aren't you going?"

Lu Xiu rolled his eyes: "Who in their right mind wants to get beaten up?"

Although he was protected by a set of iron armor, the durability of the armor was limited, and he had not yet achieved freedom of iron ingots, so he could save as much durability as possible.

Besides, why would he get beaten up and have his pedicure when he had a better way?

"Since no one wants to be bait, what other methods do you have?" Ye Lan glanced at the group of hillbillies again. They were less than a hundred meters away from the village and had already started charging. "If you have any good methods, use them quickly. Otherwise, I will have to use my own method."

"It just so happens that I have two methods that I often use, and they can be used together."

As soon as Lu Xiu finished speaking, Ye Lan saw two objects like iron buckets suddenly appear in his left and right hands.

Ye Lan took another uncertain look at it. It was still an object that looked like an iron bucket. But with the enemy at the door, what did Lu Xiu want to do by suddenly taking out such a thing?

Could it be that he wanted to surrender directly to the hillbillies and perform a self-defeating trick?

But this bucket is not big enough?

PS recommends a book. The following is a brief introduction. The title of the book is at the end.

Introduction: Recently, fans of Type-Moon discovered that there is a new animation called "There's Something Wrong with You, Fuyuki" on Bilibili.

"What's going on? I haven't seen any official announcement of this animation."

"This is hilarious! This has to be a doujinshi. How come there was an internet cafe in Fuyuki in 1990? And it's called miHoYo?"

"Fuck, the internet cafe owner and his wife both have the surname Yu, think carefully!"

"That's incredible! How come Chaldea is also opening in Fuyuki?"

"I can't stop laughing. Lao Jie held up his FGO card and asked his boss when he changed his name to Hinagawa."

"Boss: Because you play BGO and they play FGO."

"Hahahaha! Smoke Mirror, Snow Mountain Sakura, Nan Ding said she wants to complain about their painters!"

"Boss: When Jin Shanshan comes in, interrupt his EA for me. What's the high grade? He uses the same EA as me."

"Chaldea has given up on saving humanity. I spend every day playing Genshin Impact in internet cafes. The brightest moment for humanity has arrived!"

"Because the alien gods are already in the shape of the boss, do we still need to save humanity?"

"Indeed, when your wife has Lily, the director of the Alien God Institute, and Big Sister Kukulkan, it is recommended that you just lie down."

Chapter 40: It is common sense that you will slow down in water

"This thing you're holding... is it a bucket?"

Ye Lan asked uncertainly. According to the information Ningguang had given her, Lu Xiu was a very mysterious person. The objects that appeared from his hands all had very strange abilities. Maybe this thing looked like an iron barrel, but was actually a cannon?

Or was it some magical instrument that could hold the enemy inside? She had heard that an immortal had a small teapot that could hold a lot of things.

This iron bucket might have the same function.

"Of course it's an iron bucket, what else could it be?"

Lu Xiu looked at the two iron buckets in his hands with some confusion. Could it be that the buckets in this world don’t look like this?

Ye Lan suddenly felt choked: "Uh, does it have any other magical functions?"

"Function?" Lu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Does it count if it can hold various liquids?"

Ye Lan fell silent for a long time. Then she let out a long sigh, took out her longbow from behind, pulled the bowstring, and a water arrow condensed on the bowstring.

"If there's nothing left to do, then go and protect the villagers. Seeing that you're wearing iron armor, I don't expect you to be able to defeat the hillbillies, but you can at least help the villagers take a few more blows, right? Leave this to me."

"No, I want to see what this hillick has dropped."

Lu Xiu did not kill the hillbillies he met before, but just trapped them. This time he came to see what these hillbillies would drop.

"Then don't hold back."

Seeing Lu Xiu's insistence, Ye Lan didn't say anything more. He raised his hand and released the bowstring. The arrow shot straight out. However, just when it was about to hit, the hillickler running in the front raised the wooden shield in his hand to block the arrow. However, the arrow exploded instantly when it touched the wooden shield. The splash produced by the explosion directly blew the hillickler away. He fell to the ground, covering his shield-holding hand and screaming.

"Tsk, is it blocked?"

Ye Lan clicked his tongue in displeasure, then drew the bowstring and took aim once again.

When the other Hilichurls saw one of their companions being blown away, they first took a step back in fear, but when they saw Ye Lan pulling the bowstring again, they immediately roared and rushed towards Ye Lan and Lu Xiu.

Ye Lan shot again, hitting an unlucky Hilichurl right in the forehead. The Hilichurl died without even a scream and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Its death aroused the anger of the other hillbillies, and they charged even faster.

Ye Lan couldn't help but frown when she saw this scene, and her hands moved faster, but after the two rounds of shooting just now, the hill people were already on guard.

The hillbillies at the front raised their wooden shields to block the arrows for their companions behind them.

Seeing this, Ye Lan had no choice but to say to Lu Xiu, "Help me hold them back, I'll attack."

Lu Xiu did not answer, but walked calmly towards the farmland beside him.

Seeing him walking towards the farmland nearby, Ye Lan frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Fill it with water."

"Huh?" Under Ye Lan's astonished gaze, Lu Xiu filled the two iron buckets in his hands with water.

"Are you really going to try to boil yourself in a barrel? Then I suggest you get a bigger barrel."

Seeing that there was no hope for Lu Xiu, Ye Lan stopped paying attention to him and kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows, trying to stop the hill people from charging.

"Don't worry, in this case, pouring some water will be enough."

Lu Xiu raised his hand and poured the water in the bucket directly, then quickly switched to pebbles and built a simple wall in front of himself and Ye Lan to prevent the water from flowing to them.

"What's the point of pouring water? Do you think they will slip because the ground is wet?"

But Ye Lan soon discovered something was wrong. The two buckets of water that Lu Xiu poured out kept flowing, as if the source was infinite.

"There's something wrong with this water..."

When the hillbillies saw that Lu Xiu had only poured down two buckets of water, they couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. The leader roared, and the rest of the hillbillies rushed over even more excitedly.

However, when they stepped on the spreading water, a strong resistance suddenly climbed up their feet. No matter how hard they exerted, they could only move very slowly in this seemingly shallow water.

Seeing that the speed of the hillbillies' charge had slowed down, Ye Lan's eyes lit up and he joyfully pulled the bowstring.

"I don't know what you added to the water, but I just want to say, well done."

Ye Lan shot an arrow, hitting the head of a hillbilly who was trying to pull his legs out of the water. The body fell straight back and was finally washed to the edge by the current.

The hillbillies who had originally tried to pull their legs out of the water had to raise their shields again to block Ye Lan's attack. Although they could block Ye Lan's arrows, each arrow shot by Ye Lan was extremely powerful.

Each arrow could repel the hillbillies in the front. For a moment, the two sides were deadlocked because of this small lake.
