The innkeeper's body stopped in place.
He couldn't make it in time just now. The three children were about to die in front of him, but a figure suddenly appeared and saved them.
"It's you!" The innkeeper saw that the figure belonged to Xiatian.
"Damn it, this beast is causing trouble again." Da Hu also saw the scene just now. He also thought that the three children might be disabled, but when he saw that the three children were saved by Xiatian, he breathed a sigh of relief and then continued to chase forward.
"Go and play." Xiatian looked at the three children who didn't know what happened and said.
The innkeeper also came over.
"Brother, thank you so much."
"You're welcome." Xiatian smiled slightly.
Then Xiatian and the innkeeper walked back to the inn.
The innkeeper took out a pot of wine from behind and gave it to Xiatian.
"I don't think I ordered any wine." Xiatian was used to drinking monkey wine, so he was very picky. He couldn't drink ordinary wine.
"It's for you." The innkeeper grinned. He wanted to smile, but it was too ugly.
Since the innkeeper sent it to him, it meant good intentions. If Xiatian didn't drink it, it would seem that he looked down on the innkeeper, so he could only pour a cup.
Gulp.
He drank a mouthful of wine.
Xiatian felt that this wine was very spicy. The purity was not as high as on Earth, but this wine gave Xiatian a different feeling. The most important thing was that there was a slight aura in the wine, which was considered good for Xiatian.
"Haha." The innkeeper saw Xiatian drinking and laughed.
"What's wrong?" Xiatian Asked, puzzled.
"Not bold enough, like a big girl," the innkeeper said.
"Eh!" It was the first time Xiatian was called that. He was the number one master on Earth, but now he was called a big girl.
"By the way, tomorrow is the time for our child to lift the cauldron. I'll take you there to have a look. If we can have a strong man like Big Tiger this year, then our village will be safe for decades to come." The boss said longingly.
"Cauldron lifting?" Xiatian was unfamiliar with this term.
"Maybe it's because you big cities don't have such a ceremony. The Tripod Lifting Ceremony is a grand event that happens once every four years in every village. At that time, all children between the ages of ten and seven are eligible to participate. If any village can lift the Tripod Lifting Ceremony, they will be appreciated by the tribe and will be rewarded with resources. The village that becomes the champion will be rewarded with land for four consecutive years." The boss explained.
Xiatian nodded. He understood the significance of lifting the cauldron. It was to unearth geniuses. The tribe would take care of whichever village had the most powerful geniuses.
"How heavy is that cauldron?" Xiatian Asked.
"The minimum is 50 kilograms, and one tripod for every 10 kilograms," the boss explained.
"50 kilograms? A ten-year-old child can lift a 50 kilogram cauldron?" Xiatian said in surprise. Before he was ten years old, he couldn't even lift a 20 kilogram cauldron. But here, a child under the age of ten was required to lift a 50 kilogram cauldron.
"Yes, it's 50 kilograms." The boss nodded.
"How can that be lifted?" Xiatian shook his head.
"I lifted a 50 kilogram cauldron in the past, but the most powerful one here is Big Tiger. He lifted a 90 kilogram cauldron. He was only 10 kilograms short. If he could lift 10 kilograms more, then he would receive the best treatment in the tribe. In the future, he might even be sent to a big city by the tribe to train. Unfortunately, we had too little meat at that time. Otherwise, if Big Tiger ate it, he would definitely be able to lift a 100 kilogram cauldron." When the boss said this, he felt very regretful. For them, lifting a 100 kilogram cauldron was a dream. It was an existence that could lead the village to glory.
"90 kilograms!" Xiatian really didn't know what to say. He didn't expect Big Tiger to be so powerful when he lifted a 90 kilogram cauldron at the age of eight.
Ta Ta!
At this moment, a group of people came into the inn.
Among them, there were a few whom Xia Tian knew.
The village chief, Big Tiger, and the three children he saved just now were also there.
"Kneel down." Big Tiger shouted.
The three children directly knelt on the ground.
"Thank him. If it wasn't for him, you would be dead." Big Tiger said.
"Thank you, big brother." The three children said very obediently.
"Quickly get up." Xiatian didn't have the habit of letting a group of children kneel in front of him, so he hurriedly went forward to help the three children up.
"Brother, I'm sorry. If I had stopped you at that time, then these three children might have lost their lives." Big Tiger's character was very straightforward. Right was right, wrong was wrong. He knew that he was wrong, so he specially came to apologize to Xiatian.
"What are you saying? There are indeed horse bandits around here. What you did was right." Xiatian understood Big Tiger. After all, he also had a Xia family. If he wanted to enter the Xia family, he had to go through layers of screening.
"I thank you on behalf of the three children." The village chief said with a face of gratitude.
"Village chief, don't say that. If you didn't take me in, then where would I be now? Maybe I would have been killed by the horse bandits." Xiatian said.
"Young man, where are you from? What's your name? "Asked the village chief.
"I don't remember where I came from. When I woke up, I was not far from the village. My name is Xiatian." Xiatian couldn't say that he was from Earth. Otherwise, these people wouldn't believe him at all. It would be more troublesome, so he pretended that he had lost his memory.
"You don't remember? Did you lose your memory? "Asked the village chief.
"I can't say that it's complete. I remember some things, but I can't remember the specific place, name, and some things in the past." Xiatian said.
"Sigh, you're so pitiful. If you don't mind, then stay here with us. I'll find a place for you, but you'll have to build a house yourself." The village chief thought that Xiatian was very pitiful. After all, it was very sad that he couldn't find his home and family after losing his memory.
"Thank you, village chief." Xiatian had been worrying about what to do next. After all, when he heard that there were horse bandits outside, he didn't dare to wander around. Who knew if there were any experts among the horse bandits?
What if he was intercepted and killed?
Therefore, he planned to settle down first and then cultivate for a period of time. When his strength increased, he would think of a way to go to the big city. After all, his goal was to go to the crevice prison.
"Okay, you have a good rest today. When you come back from lifting the cauldron tomorrow, I'll pick a place for you." The village chief said and looked at the innkeeper. "Daniu, don't take his money."
"Yes, village chief." The innkeeper said.
"No, I have to pay. Otherwise, I'll be a freeloader." Xiatian quickly shook his head.
