I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 5 The Self-correction of Destiny

Early the next morning.

Houqiu Village, which is about ten miles away from the capital, is surrounded by mountains and rivers. In front of the village is a small river that is neither wide nor narrow. The mud of the river is sticky and white.

And it is precisely because of this jade mud that there were two official kilns in Houqiu Village, specializing in firing all kinds of porcelain for the palace.

But the good times didn't last long.

More than ten years ago, the supervisor in charge of the management of these two official kilns annoyed a certain big man for some reason. He did not say anything about his own death. The official kiln in Houqiu Village was also blocked by a notice from the Chief Secretary, and the whole village was blocked. No more porcelain kilns are allowed to be built within the land boundary for [-] years.

Since that time, the entire Houqiu Village has declined rapidly, and the registered population has been decreasing year by year. The only remaining old, weak, sick and disabled can't even grow land, and can only barely make a living by reselling some jade mud.

It's been a very difficult day, but there has been a riot recently.

A wild boar demon with a fat head and big ears is not that powerful, but it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. In half a month, it has eaten a dozen people in the village.

The yamen can't handle this kind of thing, so they can only report the situation layer by layer, and hand it over to the Liu Ye Department of the Xuanjing Division, which is responsible for monsters and strange things.

Unexpectedly, just when the two "Bronze Leaf" adults at Liu Ye hurriedly arrived today, the pig demon was already one step ahead of the others.

……

"Xiao Shaoxia! You are really the savior of our village!"

The river is shallow but fast, and the water hits the corpse of the pig demon the size of a baby elephant, and the splashes are crystal clear.

Two men with lancets on their waists were standing in the river to check the situation of the demon corpse, while a group of villagers in ragged clothes surrounded the bank. What is the young man talking about.

If you can go all the way, you can be righteous and brave, this person can only be Xiao Feng.

"Old man, I just do what I want, don't worry about it."

Xiao Feng's expression was gentle, and he bowed his fist politely: "Since the official family has come, then I will take a step first..."

"Wait a minute!"

The white-haired old man grabbed Xiao Feng's sleeve, turned his head and hurriedly said to a pretty young girl next to him: "Granddaughter, go and bring the jade plaque from our ancestors!"

"Got it, grandpa."

After the little girl responded, she turned around and ran away with small steps, her face seemed to be a little flushed.

Xiao Feng was a little puzzled: "Old man, you are..."

The old man replied with a serious expression: "Young man, since you killed the pig demon, you are the benefactor of our Houqiu Village!"

"Our village is poor and can't get gold and silver jewelry, but there is a jade tablet handed down from our ancestors, which is said to have great magic."

"I am willing to give this jade card to the young hero in return for saving my life!"

"This……"

Xiao Feng pondered for a while, but did not refuse: "Okay! Since that is the case, then I will be disrespectful."

"Young master, don't say that..."

"..."

As the protagonist, no matter what trivial thing is done, it is bound to be accompanied by a big harvest and a big opportunity.

Obviously, this jade card will naturally be a rare treasure.

Xiao Feng was used to this.

And just as he was dealing with the villagers and waiting for the treasure to arrive, the conversation between the two lancet-wearing men not far away made him frown unconsciously.

"Bright Eyes and Consciousness" is a magical power that can only be mastered in the fifth-grade realm, which can greatly improve the audio-visual range.

Xiao Feng is only Rank [-], but he has practiced a mysterious practice, so he can still hear the content of the conversation between the two.

"...Although this pig demon has only been in Taoism for less than ten years, the person surnamed Xiao was able to kill him with one blow... Do you want to take it back and ask?"

"What's there to ask, it's better to have less things in this world, just write it down truthfully."

"That's right...Brother Li, since I have half a day to spare, why don't we go back to the city and go to Pingchangfang for a drink? I heard that there is a new young girl who is good at singing and dancing in Huayuelou."

"I think it's okay, anyway, Lord Sizhong went to Wei's house to congratulate him... In other words, this Lu family is also unlucky, only one daughter, but she is still favored by the devil king of the world. I heard from the brother at the sticky pole that Lu Jingyao had tried to die several times. …”

"Be careful! You don't want to die!"

"Hey, it's just you and me here..."

"..."

After a while, the two stopped talking, and the expression on Xiao Feng's face became extremely gloomy.

He returned to the capital this time for a great opportunity, but who would have thought that he would hear such bad news before he even entered the city.

The confidante was actually captured by the enemy's family!
You know, Wei Xianzhi, who controls the Xuanjing Division, is the culprit who ordered the killing of his family!
A total of [-] people, all of them died overnight, only he escaped because he traveled abroad.

Although his luck has become very good since then, there is absolutely no reason for such a bloody vengeance!
What's more, Lu Jingyao is also involved now.

The monstrous anger welled up in his heart, Xiao Feng took a deep breath, and quickly forced himself to calm down, without being swept away by the anger.

He knew very well that with his current strength, killing the Wei Mansion directly would be like hitting an egg against a stone, it would just be a waste of life.

Fortunately, the people of the Wei family did not recognize his appearance. As long as they hid in the dark and waited for an opportunity, they might not be able to find the opportunity...

A plan slowly took shape in my mind, and at the same time, the little girl who just went to get the jade card also came back.

"Grandpa, jade card!"

"Well, Xiao Shaoxia, this is our village..."

The white-haired old man took the jade token and handed it to Xiao Feng. He just wanted to say something cheerfully, but the latter's icy expression made him instantly shut up.

Xiao Feng knew that it was difficult for him to have a good face at this time, so he simply stopped talking nonsense, put the jade card in his arms and turned around and walked away.

This kind of unannounced farewell would undoubtedly make people uncomfortable under normal circumstances, but the villagers present were not dissatisfied except for a little surprise.

Especially the little girl with a beautiful face, even blushed and whispered:

"This is the real man."

"I don't know when I will see Brother Xiao again..."

The resolutely handsome back, the grateful villagers, the young girl with a sprouting heart...

If Wei Changtian were there to see this scene at this time, he would definitely swear at him - the halo of the goddamn protagonist!
Beyond that, there may be some doubts.

Because the plot of Houqiu Village seems to be slightly different from the novel.

It was as if the ethereal way of heaven was actively correcting the wheel of fortune that had been changed by him.
