“The City Lord wanted to build a palace and has arrested a large number of able-bodied men. The child’s parents were taken away. They have not returned in a year, and we do not know if they are alive or dead.”

When Feng Jiu heard this, she stopped asking questions and just comforted him. “Please don’t be too sad, I think your son and daughter-in-law will return safely.”

“Thank you for your kind words, Immortal,” the elderly man said. “Immortal, please take a seat first. I’m going to prepare some food.”

Feng Jiu noticed that the elderly man had nothing to eat when she first arrived, so she said, “There’s no need. I’ll just go get some food from the sea.”

The elderly man was astounded and said quickly, “Immortal, you shouldn’t. The sea has a sea monster in it. It feeds on humans.”

“It’s alright.” Feng Jiu said, went out and called Old White to the seaside.

When the other elderly people noticed her leaving, they came over and asked, “Is the immortal leaving?”

“No. “The immortal wants to find food from the sea.” The elderly man replied with concern in his voice.

“There’s a sea beast there. It eats humans.”

“It is! Why does the immortal want to go to the sea? It’s too dangerous.”

“Is there nothing to eat in your house? I still have some, so ask the immortal to return! If not, accidents can happen.” Another elderly man said.

“Yes! I also have some on hand. I’ll go and get them for you.”

“Yes, yes. I also have some.”

The elderly people, who were holding young children, all said that they were willing to take out their food for the immortal who came to stay overnight here.

When the elderly man saw this, he thought about it and said, “Then, let us go and persuade her!” As a result, the elderly people from more than a dozen families went to the sea while calling out for her.

“Master, they are following us here.” Old White turned around and was surprised to see that all the elderly people from the small village had come.

Feng Jiu stopped when she heard their voices. When she saw several elderly people approaching, she asked, “What are you going to do here?”

“Immortal, there is a sea monster in the sea. You can’t go. You can’t go.” An elderly man said with horror in his eyes. “Last time, last time people from other places went to the sea on a boat. I saw the boat capsize and the sea monster devoured all the passengers.”

“Yes! Immortal, we have some food. There will be enough food for you if we get them out together.” Another elderly man joined in.

“That sea is too dangerous. We do not usually risk going into the sea nor are we able to do so.”

Her heart warmed when she heard the elderly people’s caution and saw them coming with the young children, some of whom were barefoot and without shoes. She said with a smile, “It really doesn’t matter because I’m an Immortal. I’m not afraid of sea monsters.”

She smiled, looked at them, and asked, “Don’t you usually go to the sea to catch fish and shrimp?”

“We all grow some sweet potatoes and wild vegetables in the backyard. Those are the food we typically eat. On occasion, we go into the woods to cut wood, which we then trade for rice or other food in the city.” An elderly man said.

Feng Jiu nodded. “Alright, I understand.” She looked at them and asked with a smile, “Do you want to come with me? Just go to the seashore and take a look. I can help you later get some back.”

They were all stunned and looked at each other, and one of the elderly people said, “That’s fine, Immortal. We’ll follow you. But, if you are in danger, you must run away.”
