This time, Lin Xiu did not choose to use his feet to measure every inch of the mountains, rivers, and land like before. Instead, he quickly moved between the cities and only stopped when he encountered something he was interested in.
After the light was restored, the various scenes that Lin Xiu saw were really bizarre. The evil people who had regained their sanity were crying there, and there were also kind-hearted people who were grateful after regaining the light and kept crying silently in front of the sun.
Of course, what touched Lin Xiu the most was that many people began to resume their original work at the first moment. The farmers who were producing were once again busy shuttling between the crisscrossing fields, inserting fresh seedlings into the soil with a sincere smile on their faces, as if they had already seen the harvest season waving at them.
Seeing that the continent had returned to its previous state and everything began to develop in an orderly manner, Lin Xiu nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave the small city in front of him, he suddenly saw two little girls with braids on the street, playing a jumping game there.
One of the slightly older little girls was biting a candied haw with her hands behind her back, humming a nursery rhyme that Lin Xiu had never heard before.
Joining the army at the age of fifteen, returning at the age of eighty.
Daofeng asked a villager, "Who is there in your family?"
"Looking from afar, it is the Jun family, full of pine and cypress graves."
The rabbit enters from the dog's sinus, the pheasant flies from the beam.
The courtyard gives birth to the valley, the well gives birth to the sunflower.
Pounding the grain for rice, picking the sunflower to make soup.
The soup is cooked for a while, but I don't know who to give it to?
Looking out the door to the east, tears stain my clothes.
The little girl's clothes were full of patches of various sizes. She kept the candied hawthorn in her mouth, not daring to swallow it easily. It could be seen that her family situation was definitely not too good, especially when she had just resumed childbirth. Other little girls stayed at home, and their parents were still worried, so they let them go out on the streets alone. However, the two in front of her, although they were a little dirty, their big eyes, which were filled with childlike innocence, shone with the light of excitement.
Lin Xiu gradually became curious, so he slowly revealed himself and went to a proud hawker's stall to buy two bags of pastries and walked over to the two children.
"Why are you two having so much fun? Where are your parents?" Lin Xiu smiled and greeted the two people in front of him.
Suddenly realizing that there was a stranger in front of them, the two girls were somewhat on guard and squeezed together, revealing a little vigilance. Then, they cautiously said to Lin Xiu, "Our mother is washing clothes at a house not far away. Uncle, what's the matter?"
Lin Xiu touched his unshaven chin and smiled helplessly. For the past few months, he had been sealing his memories, so he did not pay much attention to his appearance. But now that someone actually called him uncle, he could not help but sigh at the waste of time.
"It's nothing much, I'm just very curious, the other children on the street have not appeared at all, why are only the two of you playing here?" Lin Xiu casually waved the pastries in his hand, then opened one of the bags, took out a piece, put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed.
The two girls were also attracted by the fragrance emitted by the pastries. They unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then said to Lin Xiu, "The other people are really too timid, suddenly freed from the darkness, they still can't believe it. They can only work hard at home. I heard that in a few days, the private school will reopen. If they can't finish their homework at that time, they will probably be punished."
When the little girl said this, Lin Xiu noticed that her eyes suddenly became a little dim. He pondered for a moment and understood the reason behind it.
In the Immortal Martial Continent, although everyone advocated martial arts and hoped to become an indomitable expert, not everyone had the aptitude to cultivate. Many youths who had no hope in cultivation at all chose another path at a very young age, and that was to become an official.
As long as one could pass the official selection, he could become a small official and slowly climb his way through the bureaucracy. At the very least, his family's situation would be greatly improved. If he was lucky, he could even walk out of the small city and come to the foot of the emperor, becoming a loyal subject in the palace hall.
But the phenomenon of the Immortal Martial Continent favoring boys over girls still happened from time to time.
In many small cities, those private schools only accepted boys, and girls could still stay at home and learn some simple needlework from their mothers. Then, when they were in their budding years, they might be married off early.
The two little girls in patched clothes in front of him did not seem to be very well-off, and they probably did not have enough money to support their studies.
After thinking about it casually, Lin Xiu suddenly had a bold idea. At this time of turmoil, especially now that the continent had been reborn, it was time to make some changes, and maybe it could play a certain role in the development of the continent.
Lin Xiu handed the other bag of pastries in his hand to the two girls, then stepped forward and touched their heads. With the temptation of the pastries, the two girls also relaxed a lot and quickly divided the pastries into two. After eating, they wiped their mouths and then stared at the remaining half of the bag in Lin Xiu's hand.
"What two greedy little girls."
Lin Xiu smiled, then handed the remaining half of the bag to the two little girls in front of him. Seeing them eating happily, Lin Xiu's mood also became a lot better.
If he didn't choose to go out and travel because of his strength and stayed by Lin Jie's side, he would probably be able to enjoy this rare quiet time.
Just as Lin Xiu and the two little girls were asking and answering, a charming woman walked over from a distance. When she saw Lin Xiu, she was obviously a little flustered. She hurriedly went to the two girls and protected them behind her. Then, she bowed to Lin Xiu.
"Young Master, I've really let you see a joke. These two girls are too greedy, I'll take them home now." The woman was obviously a little flustered. Judging from Lin Xiu's clothes, she could tell that Lin Xiu was naturally not from an ordinary family and must have lived in a wealthy family.
Just freed from the previous state of darkness, the woman knew that the children of those rich families, although they looked well-dressed, were really not good in the depths of their hearts.
Her two daughters were still young, so of course, she was worried that Lin Xiu had bad intentions. However, to her surprise, Lin Xiu just nodded slightly and let her take the two little girls home.
Thinking of the bold idea in his heart, Lin Xiu smiled again. After exploring with his spiritual consciousness, he found out the location of the City Lord Mansion. In just a few breaths, he had already arrived at the study of the City Lord Mansion.
At this moment, in the City Lord Mansion, there was a middle-aged man with a big belly sitting in front of a desk and writing at a fast speed. He only had a cultivation level of the Renyuan Realm, how could he detect Lin Xiu's appearance?
This city lord's name was Zhu Ganghua. Although he was not like the Phoenix City's city lord, who loved his people as if they were his own children, he had never committed any atrocities. Furthermore, with his suppression over the years, some of the rich and powerful clans in the area could not bully the commoners too much, allowing the commoners and the tycoons to live in harmony.
Now that he had regained the light, Zhu Ganghua naturally had a lot of things on his hands that were waiting for him to deal with. During that dark period, some of the disciples of the rich and powerful clans had committed innumerable crimes. Zhu Ganghua had originally thought that this period of darkness would continue for a long time. He felt a little despair in his heart and did not do much to deal with these things. However, at this moment, seeing that he had returned to the previous environment, he naturally could not be soft-hearted anymore.
Lin Xiu slightly controlled the surrounding space, causing the light to distort, so Zhu Ganghua could not detect Lin Xiu's existence.
Lin Xiu stood quietly behind Zhu Ganghua and watched as Zhu Ganghua quickly made one decision after another. This made Lin Xiu secretly nod his head. To be able to become a City Lord, there was indeed no one who was easy to deal with. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to manage the life and death of millions of people under his command.
When Zhu Ganghua finally finished dealing with all the matters, it was already sunset outside. Zhu Ganghua casually wiped the sweat on his forehead, then slowly stood up from the chair and ordered a servant to go to the kitchen to inform that it was time to eat.
When he turned back again, his eyes suddenly widened. He did not know when, but a young man in a green shirt was standing in front of a bookshelf, casually flipping through some books.
"Senior, may I know why you have come here? If you have any requests, I will definitely do my best to fulfill them for you."
To be able to appear in the study without him noticing at all, the person must be extremely powerful. Zhu Ganghua was also a quick-witted person and very quickly lowered his posture and spoke to Lin Xiu flatteringly like a lackey.
"Sigh, aren't you tired?" Lin Xiu was a little speechless. If he hadn\'t seen with his own eyes how this fatty punished the local tyrants for their crimes, it would be hard for him to believe that the fatty in front of him would be an upright person.
Lin Xiu's words made Zhu Guanghua's heart puzzled. He touched his hair and suddenly made up his mind. In front of such a powerful person, whether he pretended or not, life and death were not up to him. He simply accepted it and casually pulled a chair over, then sat on it casually. He raised his eyelids slightly and changed his attitude towards Lin Xiu.
"Senior, may I know why you have come here?"
When Lin Xiu heard this, he felt a burst of laughter in his heart. Just a second ago, this fatty seemed to have experienced a life and death crisis and even stood a little shakily, but at this moment, he was calm and collected.
"Don't worry, I don't have any intention of making things difficult for you. I just happened to pass by here and saw some things, so I have some ideas in mind. I still need you to implement the specifics." Lin Xiu gently waved his hand and a pot of tea on the desk came to his hand. He took a sip, cleared his throat, and then said his purpose.
After knowing Lin Xiu's real goal, the fatty heaved a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that a mysterious expert would come to the city when there were so many things waiting to be done and wanted to force him to contribute some treasures. In that case, he would really not be able to call for help.
Although he was also a city lord, he did not have a backer like the Phoenix City Lord. To be able to become the owner of this city, it really took a lot of effort. In addition, all these years, he did not plunder the wealth of the people, so in reality, his life was really extremely poor.
However, Lin Xiu's words still made him frown tightly. One must know that the current status of men and women in the continent was the result of tens of thousands of years. If a precedent was set and girls could also read the books of sages, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar.
"I won't make things difficult for you. Tell me what difficulties you have, as long as I can solve it for you, feel free to tell me." Lin Xiu glanced at the fatty with a smile that was not a smile. At this moment, knowing that the senior in front of him was not that evil person, Fatty Zhu Ganghua's attitude once again became a lot more relaxed. He got up from his seat and stood in front of the bookshelf. He held the bookshelf with one hand and took out a book from it with the other, then handed it to Lin Xiu.
Casually glancing at the cover of the book, Lin Xiu laughed involuntarily. This book was the only book that women could read. The four big words printed on the cover were "Three Obediences and Four Virtues".
"Don't tell me that you really think that the continent is really safe now?" After placing the book back into the bookshelf, Lin Xiu stared at the fatty in front of him without blinking.
"Senior, I am just a small character in the Human Yuan Realm. How can I know such a big matter?" Fatty was still there, but he was still not willing to express his opinion about the situation of the continent.
Ignoring the fatty, Lin Xiu said to him, "Although I spent a lot of effort to dispel the darkness, the current situation of the continent is still precarious. No matter what the future will be, I hope that everyone can at least contribute their strength, so that this world can become a little better before it is truly destroyed."
When the fatty heard that it was Lin Xiu who dispelled the darkness, his heart suddenly trembled, then he bowed deeply to Lin Xiu in front of him.
Previously, many people were secretly guessing who had such a strong strength to be able to completely dispel the darkness in the sky. At this moment, when the legendary figure appeared in front of him, Zhu Ganghua's heart was still filled with excitement.
He took a deep breath, then patted his chest.
