I’m a Down-and-Out Villain Being Pursued by the Female Lead Chapter 44

“Traveler from afar, this is the food I have prepared for you, please enjoy it to your heart’s content.”

The woman brought over a large pot of beef, covered with appetizing sauce, looking extremely appetizing.

But Henry looked at the large pot of beef in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression also unnatural.

He put down his knife and fork, looking seriously at the woman, and said.

“This lady, are there no vegetable salads or anything like that here? Why are you serving me beef?”

Hearing Henry’s words, the woman’s smile froze on her face.

She didn’t know what problem there was with bringing out beef to entertain Henry.

Previously, those passersby who saw there was beef to eat would all express gratitude, and those in good moods would even give a few gold coins.

“Guest, is this beef not to your taste?”

Regarding this matter, Henry spoke righteously.

“This lady, animals are not ingredients, they are life! What you’re doing is depriving animals of their right to live! I don’t eat beef!”

The woman before him was completely dumbfounded.

She had brought out her best things to entertain him, but the other party was ungrateful, and even scolded her harshly.

If it weren’t for the fact that the time hadn’t come yet, she would definitely twist off his head and hang it in the field as a scarecrow!

“Then… then what should we do?”

“Meat is corpses, milk is exploitation, eggs are cages, vegetarianism is the only moral choice! You should give up eating meat and join me in vegetarianism!”

At this moment, Henry had already become a qualified vegetarian.

And the woman was obviously confused by Henry’s words.

She was silent for a moment, and finally still asked.

“Then do you need me to help you change to a different food?”

“Forget it, since you’ve already made it, I’ll reluctantly eat it.”

“But aren’t you a vegetarian?”

“But I’m also a carnivore at the same time, I can freely switch according to my will.”

Invincible three-dimensional defense!

Henry only now knew how cool it was to be a scoundrel.

Looking at the person in front of him with that ‘I want to strangle you right now‘ expression, Henry felt that the other party must want to hack him into pieces with a knife right now.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Damn it, she had never seen such a troublesome person!

Eating beef and still chattering about it, planning to change it for him, he said forget it, he could eat it.

If you can eat it, then eat it, where does all this nonsense come from.

Later she would make him into human jerky and hang it outside.

Although very angry, the woman still had to maintain her smile.

So annoying.

“Then you dine here, I’ll go out for a moment.” Saying this, the woman closed the door and left the room.

Only Henry was left alone in the room.

It was just that the other party’s trust level for outsiders was simply explosive.

They actually dared to leave him alone in the house, really not afraid that he would steal all her beef?

Henry poured all the food from the dinner plate into the trash.

Although it was very wasteful of food, he didn’t want to lie here like a dead pig after eating it.

He walked to the window and happened to see that woman seeming to have gathered several men pointing toward the house, as if discussing something.

But it should be related to him.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, these people should want to use the transport team’s soldiers as sacrificial offerings for sacrifice.

Speaking of which, wouldn’t Sherisa be in danger?

“Something’s not right, didn’t the person in the recording say that after praying, they could sacrifice? Then why haven’t they made their move yet? Are they concerned about something?”

Henry was somewhat puzzled. He was clear about most of the information about this village.

Except for that strong leader and that mysterious church.

If there was a chance, he really wanted to go visit it.

It was just that the most prudent approach right now was to think of a way to get Sherisa to leave this place.

As for Pierre and the others, if they died, they died, it had nothing to do with him.

Henry decisively pushed open the door, and his action also attracted the attention of several villagers.

Several villagers holding steel forks quickly ran to Henry’s side and surrounded him, as if afraid he would run away.

“Esteemed guest, is there anything you need?”

“I see that everyone in your village seems to have great faith, just a few dozen people but you have such a magnificent church.”

Mentioning the church, these villagers’ faces all showed expressions of longing.

As if in that church there was something they dreamed of.

“Yes, everyone in our village is very devout, because there, we can receive our Lord’s response.”

“Is that so? But I see that your complexions all don’t look too good, is it because your Lord doesn’t let you get sun?”

Henry’s words seemed to touch their bottom line.

They stared at Henry fiercely, and the woman’s words floated up in their minds again.

She said this young man was simply the embodiment of evil, the words he spoke made people feel disgusted.

Now they also agreed with this statement!

They wanted to kill this brat here and then offer him to their Lord.

“Don’t speak ill of our Lord!”

“I didn’t say anything, I just felt that your complexions don’t look too good. Also, does your Lord really like eating beef? I see that all the cattle in the village are gone, this won’t do, you need to eat more vegetables!”

“Shut up!”

Someone couldn’t help but roar at Henry, they really couldn’t stand the other party insulting their faith.

“Alright, everyone has their own choices, then I won’t say anything more. But I have a question that needs you to help me understand.”

“What question?”

Someone asked impatiently, constantly playing with the steel fork in their hands.

Wanting to poke several holes in Henry’s head to achieve the level of brain-opening.

“May I ask if there’s a man in your village who wears leather clothes and has a large build?”

Several villagers looked at each other, then asked in confusion.

“You know our village chief?”

“Know him, of course I know him, we’re old acquaintances. To tell you the truth, I’m his childhood friend, we used to wear the same pair of pants!”

Those few villagers were stunned by Henry’s words, their brains couldn’t process it for a moment.

They felt there was something wrong with Henry’s words, but seemed unable to pick out any problems.

Until someone raised a doubt.

“Didn’t the village chief grow up in the village from childhood?”

As soon as the words fell, a Flying Sword directly pierced through his skull!

The several villagers at the scene hadn’t reacted to what was happening when Henry’s longsword had already slashed across their necks.

In just a few breaths, he had eliminated these few villagers.

“Ai ya, you discovered it. Originally I wanted you to take me to visit the church, but now it’s good, everyone’s unhappy. I can only walk there on foot myself.”

Henry shook his head, his expression showing regret.

The woman saw this scene and screamed in terror.

But it seemed no one heard her scream, she could only watch helplessly as Henry walked toward her!

“Devil! You must be a devil! You are our Lord’s enemy, our Lord will not let you go!”

She screamed and shrieked, but very quickly, she had no more sounds.

Henry calmly walked past her corpse.

“A group of cultists who take pleasure in killing people calling others devils? Then in normal people’s eyes, I must be an angel sent by God.”
