Chapter 107 The Villagers Who Think They Are Smart
After a while, a large group of villagers came towards the village entrance. In the middle of the crowd was a mat, on which lay an old man humming.

His hair is gray and there are only a few strands left, and his face is full of wrinkles that could kill a mosquito.

He looks to be at least seventy or eighty years old.

Still breathing, but only a little bit.

The villagers threw the old man down and left quickly, not giving the pig demon any time to react.

The old pig was also completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He looked at the ancestor and said angrily, "Old boy, how dare you cheat your grandpa pig!"

"Master Pig, how dare I do that!"

"Exactly as you requested."

"This old man is called Zhou Yao. He is actually the direct descendant of the old man. He went into the mountains at the age of fourteen and has been collecting herbs for sixty years. He is considered the best herbalist in the village!"

Seeing the pig demon’s anger, Zu Ling said helplessly.

There was just a hint of joy in his eyes.

An old man, a dying old man, if he can really fool around this time, one more child will survive.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to think of another way.

Well? ?

The pig demon didn’t know what to say now.

The best herbalist!
People came to find it.
But there was only one breath left.

The pig demon looked at the dying old man on the ground, was silent for a while, and said to the ancestral spirit: "I hope you don't lie to me, otherwise Grandpa Pig will let you know what a demon is!"

After the pig demon finished speaking, he was still hesitant. After a long while, he took out a piece of medicinal herbs from his arms.

Immortality grass!
Seeing the herbs in the pig demon's hand, the ancestor spirit exclaimed.

The herb of immortality is a legendary mountain treasure. It is said that his ancestor once dug up a plant and sold it for hundreds of taels of silver. It was also because of that herb of immortality that the Zhou family was able to pass down and multiply here.

Unexpectedly, this pig demon actually had it in his hand. Although it was only a piece, the value of this precious medicine was inestimable.

What is this trying to do.
Although he guessed some of it, he didn't dare to believe it.

Does the pig demon know how precious this thing is?
I don't know, but this herb is also useful to him, but it is only limited to treating injuries and replenishing body losses.

The last time it was attacked by a strange creature, it lost a lot of energy and blood, and it recovered with the help of this herb.

But it had a greedy nature and couldn't help thinking about the delicious food that the rabbit mentioned, so it had to take out the herb.

The pig demon took the herbs, pinched off a small section with pain and threw it into the old man's mouth, then put the rest of the herbs back into his arms.

The ancestor spirit looked at the pig demon's actions with a painful expression.

Immortality grass is a tonic that can bring a person back from the brink of death as long as there is still a breath of life. This herb is prepared with special techniques and can be stored for more than ten years without any problem.

A true elixir for the resurrected dead.

This pig demon was just throwing it away so casually. It would probably rot in a few days, which made him feel sad just looking at it.

Gradually, the old man, who had been wheezing like a bellows, began to breathe steadily, his sallow complexion gradually turned rosy, and his cloudy eyes gradually regained clarity.

Immediately.

It really is the herb of immortality!

Seeing the appearance of the old man on the ground, the ancestor spirit sighed inwardly.

"Thank you, Master Pig, for saving my life!" After waking up, the old man knelt down to express his gratitude to the pig demon.

He knew what was happening, but he could do nothing about it. In fact, all the villagers in this village were his descendants, but when danger came, they chose to throw him out.

Is it true that there are no other herbalists in the village?

impossible!
Their village makes a living by collecting herbs, and everyone has a skill or two.

But he was finally carried out.

Don’t complain!
After all, old people are useless, and keeping them is a waste of food. If you give them to the pig monster to eat, you can save a young person.

But I felt somewhat unwilling.

Anyone who is abandoned will feel uncomfortable, even if he only has a few days left to live.

"Old boy, I saved you. From now on, your life belongs to me. Come with me!" The pig demon looked at the old man and said.

"Yes, Master Pig!" the old man replied. The pig demon turned and left. What about the old man? He took a look at the village where he had given everything, then turned and followed the pig demon away.

When he turned around again, there was no trace of lingering affection in his eyes, and he was very determined.

"is it wrong?"

"No, I'm right. If he doesn't come, a young and strong man will be needed. It's difficult to collect herbs now. If there is one less young and strong man in the village, their village will have less hope of surviving in this chaotic world."

"It is appropriate to exchange the life of a young and strong man for a man who has only a few days left to live."

“And this is the choice of the whole village!”

"Don't blame me, blame the damn world!"

Looking at the resolute back of the old man who never looked back, Zu Ling said silently in his heart.

After leaving the village, the pig demon disliked the old man for walking too slowly, so he grabbed the old man's clothes and started running with him. The old man felt dizzy, and the trees and mountains flew backwards behind him.

A quarter of an hour later, the pig demon returned to his cave and threw the old man in his hand to the ground.

vomit.
The old man who was thrown to the ground began to retch while lying there.

Now the old man can only dry heave. He has only drunk one bowl of porridge in two days. It would be strange if he could vomit anything.

There is no way. He is old, unpopular, and has no direct descendants. In the early days, villagers used to send him meals, but as time went by, his own family members could not even get enough to eat, so who would send him meals?
That bowl of porridge was brought to him by a boy of about fifteen or sixteen from the neighbor's house.

The two of them depend on each other.

A few years ago, the parents of a young man named "Zhou Sanqi" went into the mountains and never came back. It can be said that he raised this young man.

The day before yesterday, Zhou Sanqi said he was going into the mountains to collect herbs. As long as he could collect some precious mountain herbs, they could save him. But he didn't come back for two days. It was very dangerous to spend the night in the mountains. Since he didn't come back for two days, the villagers thought he had died in the mountains.

The bowl of porridge was fed to him by the boy before he left.

After catching his breath, Old Man Zhou finally had time to observe the surrounding environment.

Tiger Mountain!
This is Tiger Mountain, two hills away from their village.

He came here when he was young.

This cave was where he stayed after entering the mountains. However, evil spirits and monsters were rampant later, and now the deep mountains have become a forbidden area for humans.

I didn't expect that this place was occupied by a pig demon.

"Old man, find a place to live and take good care of your health. You have been abandoned by your own people. You should just follow Master Pig from now on!"

"One tael of silver a month as wages!"

"Don't even think about running away. If you dare to run, Grandpa Pig will wipe out your village! Even the children hiding in the valley!"

"Humph! All your efforts over the years have gone to waste!"

Seeing the old man recover, the pig demon came over, threw down a half-eaten ginseng and said.

"Ok?"

Old man Zhou looked at the pig demon with surprise. He knew what had happened in the village over the years and naturally knew of the existence of the pig demon. Many people in the village said that the pig demon was stupid, had no brains, and was easy to fool. They had been thinking about how to fool the pig demon, but now it seemed that the pig demon was not stupid but quite smart.

"Mr. Pig, do you know?"

Old Man Zhou thought carefully about the pig demon's words and asked carefully.

Upon hearing this, the pig demon looked at the old man as if he were an idiot, then turned and left.

It knows!
It really knows.

Indeed, they are the real fools.

It turned out that when the pig demon was to be offered sacrifices during the New Year, their village basically bought children from outside to offer to the pig demon, while the children of their own village were secretly raised in the valley behind the village.

Children are the future of a village and represent inheritance. Without descendants, the ancestral spirits will eventually disappear. How could they possibly offer their blood descendants to the pig demon?

I thought I had fooled the pig demon, but I didn't expect that the pig demon was seeing everything.

Silly and foolish pig monsters? I'm afraid they are the real stupid ones.

If Zhao Shi were here, he would tell him that pigs are a very intelligent species, even comparable to humans.

Not to mention the pig that became a demon.
