Chapter 2 Leaving the Mountain Village

  "Hmm"

  Once again feeling pain, Wang Tao suddenly woke up, but found that he already had a body!

  "This is Xiao Gouzi's body!" Wang Tao saw the origin of the body and seized Xiao Gouzi's body to rebirth! However, Wang Tao didn't feel happy about his rebirth, only sadness. He could see that Xiao Gouzi was a strong and good kid who had already died, killed by a group of naughty but powerless children. Although he got Xiao Gouzi's body, he couldn't be happy, "Don't worry, Xiao Gouzi! I, Wang Tao, have been reborn with your body, and I will definitely avenge you and your parents!"

  Yao and Xian, this is a mysterious knowledge that has emerged in Wang Tao's memory!

  This is a world of immortals, demons, and ghosts, where humans cultivate immortality alongside other supernatural creatures. Wang Tao doesn't know much, only that these things exist. He doesn't even know what the world he lives in is called. All he knows is that Xiaogouzi's parents were killed by a powerful demon from outside the village who could transform into a human, and if he wants to avenge Xiaogouzi's family, he needs to find it!

  For those ignorant kids who indirectly killed the puppy, Wang Tao didn't have much blame for them, they were still young and didn't understand things! At the same time, Wang Tao could also feel that the puppy didn't blame these kids either, their parents and elders were the puppy's benefactors! It was because of their charity that the puppy could live until now, its life was given by their parents and elders! At the same time, Wang Tao also knew that the puppy had actually been seriously ill before it died!

  However, Wang Tao still wants to teach these evil children a lesson! Not for anything else, but just to vent his anger!

  "Has the little dog woken up?" Wang Tao came to his senses and looked towards the wooden door of the earth house, but it was an old man with a white cane. Wang Tao remembered him, or rather, the little dog remembered him, he was the village elder of this mountain village, the oldest senior in the village!

  "Yes, Village Chief!" In Wang Tao's memory, the village chief was the most kind-hearted, and his own life was saved by him. Wang Tao stood up to thank him, but was stopped by the village chief who handed over a large bowl with a smile. The bowl was filled with steaming hot millet porridge!

  Wang Tao smiled gratefully at the village chief, took over the big bowl and started eating! He was indeed very hungry and had little energy left, so he didn't bother to be polite anymore. Anyway, he already owed the village chief a lot of favors.

  Under the kind gaze of the village chief, Wang Tao finished the whole bowl of rice porridge and let out a satisfied belch: "Thanks for the meal, Village Chief! Xiao Gouzi will remember it in his heart!"

  Now I have changed my identity and can no longer use the name Wang Tao!

  "It's okay! Little dog, if you're hungry, come to Village Chief Grandpa's place. There's always vegetable porridge here!" The village chief said with a smile as he took over the big bowl.

  The village chief's words were simple, but they brought a long-lost warmth to Wang Tao's heart. He knew the village chief was telling the truth. In Wang Tao's mind, this was the second person in the world he acknowledged, the first being Xiao Gouzi, who had already passed away!

  Leaving the village chief's home, Wang Tao slightly raised his head and looked up at that somewhat different sky.

  The sky in this world is light blue, and the air also makes Wang Tao feel different, is it the taste of spiritual energy? Wang Tao didn't know, and he didn't want to know either!

  "After finishing that matter, leave." Murmuring to himself, Wang Tao looked towards the distant river that was vaguely visible. In the hazy fine rain, Wang Tao's frail body disappeared into the rain...

  "Whoa......"

  "I've caught Brother Nan! I've caught him!" A child in the small river suddenly scooped up a strange fish from the river and shouted excitedly, all the children looked over.

  "Well done! Now you're my deputy!" The stronger boy, with a smile, snatched the strange fish from the child's hand. The little kid didn't get angry, but instead was delighted and danced with joy.

  Wang Tao's figure appeared by the small river, silently watching the group of children playing in the water, but his heart was slightly sighing, he couldn't bring himself to do it after all.

  For the former school boxing champion, it was really easy to teach these kids a lesson, but looking at these lively and lovely children, Wang Tao just couldn't bring himself to do it!

  "Sorry, little dog. Big brother can't punish these kids for you..." Wang Tao muttered to himself with narrowed eyes. He believed that the little dog would understand him. Moreover, the little dog's death was not entirely the fault of these children. At that time, the little dog had a serious illness and its life was already in danger. These children were just the last straw that crushed the little dog.

  "Huh, isn't that Wang Tao?" A little girl who had discovered Wang Tao standing by the shore, quietly watching them, couldn't help but exclaim! The next instant all the children were looking at Wang Tao, only they all seemed a bit afraid of him, their expressions somewhat unpleasant.

  "Tell your fathers and mothers, as well as your elders! I, Xiaogouz, have returned my life to them! From now on, I owe them nothing!" Wang Tao said with a hint of hesitation but in a resounding tone. Although Wang Tao's voice was somewhat weak, all the children heard his words.

  That's it!

  Wang Tao took a last look at the children, especially that little girl. The last time it wasn't because of that little girl. But Wang Tao didn't think about anything else, he just knew that Xiaogouzzi was dead and he only owed Xiaogouzzi and Old Village Chief a favor! Everything else had nothing to do with him!

  Turn around and leave!

  Among all the puzzled expressions of the children, in that little girl's bewildered gaze, Wang Tao's figure once again disappeared into the rain...

  In the center of the mountain village, the old village chief silently looked at the thin and weak child in front of him. After a long while, he let out a deep sigh and said: "Have you really thought it through? The outside world isn't that great."

  "Ah! Xiao Gouzi knows!" Wang Tao looked at that face full of vicissitudes and smiled slightly in response.

  The old village chief looked at Wang Tao with those turbid eyes, and Wang Tao also looked at the old village chief.

  It was another half response, Wang Tao saw the aura of dusk on the old village chief's body. The old village chief smiled slightly, touched Wang Tao's wet head, and sighed: "Little dog, if you want to leave, just leave. Tired, exhausted, this is always your home..."

  "Village chief..." Wang Tao's eyes flowed with a line of clear tears mixed with rainwater, perhaps because of the puppy's past, or perhaps because the old village chief was the only person who could be considered a relative to Wang Tao since he came to this world.

  "Alright, stop crying, what's there to cry about? Ah yes, little doggy, wait a minute, I have something for you!" The old village chief withdrew his hand and walked into the room...

  Bidding farewell to the old village chief, braving the drizzle, Wang Tao carried a flower-patterned bundle full of patches on his back, walking slowly and hesitantly towards the outside of the mountain village. When he reached the village entrance, Wang Tao's footsteps paused slightly, turned around and gazed into the distance at the misty rain-shrouded mountain village, finally bowing deeply, then slinging his backpack over his shoulder and striding away with a splashing sound in the puddles, the sound of the rain pattering against him gradually merging together, until both sounds completely disappeared, a ray of sunlight shining down...
