Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"Old village chief?!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen said in unison, looking at the hunched figure walking out of the darkness in disbelief.

The old village chief, leaning on a cane, walked unsteadily to the fire, his face weathered and tired, but his eyes were still kind and firm.

“It’s you, it’s really you…” The old village chief looked at Chu Mengmeng’s family, tears welling up in his cloudy eyes, “I thought… I thought I would never see you again…”

"Old village chief, why are you here? It's too dangerous here, please go back quickly!" Chu Mengmeng hurriedly supported the old village chief and said anxiously.

"Child, don't worry about me, I'm fine," the old village chief patted Chu Mengmeng's hand and said lovingly, "After I heard about your situation, I have been worried, so I brought some food and medicine and rushed here overnight."

As he spoke, the old village chief took out a cloth bag from his back, which contained some dry food and herbs. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's noses suddenly felt sore. They were fleeing outside, suffering from hunger and cold, but the old village chief still thought about them and brought them warmth and hope.

"Thank you, old village chief..." Chu Mengmeng said with a sob, and Xiao Yichen nodded gratefully.

"Children, I know you are having a hard time and are confused now," the old village chief looked at them and said earnestly, "but you must remember that good will prevail over evil!"

"But what should we do now?" Xiao Yichen asked, "Although we have temporarily repelled them, they will come back again. We can't keep fleeing like this forever."

"Yi Chen, your previous victory was only temporary," the old village chief said in a deep voice, "If you want to completely eliminate them, you must solve the problem from the root."

"The root cause?" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at the old village chief in confusion.

"Children, have you ever thought about why they are hunting you down so hard?" the old village chief asked, "Is it just because you discovered their secret?"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were silent. They had never thought about this problem before. All along, they had only been passively defending and counterattacking, but never thought of taking the initiative to find out the truth of the matter.

"Children, this world is not black and white," the old village chief's eyes were deep and far-reaching, "some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface..."

The old village chief's words were like a flash of lightning, breaking through the fog in Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts, making them begin to re-examine themselves and the world.

"Old village chief, what you mean is..." Xiao Yichen hesitated to speak. He knew that the old village chief's next words would completely overturn their cognition and guide them onto a new path.

The old village chief slowly raised his head, looked into the distance with a firm gaze, and slowly said: "You must remember..." "You must remember," the old village chief paused, as if he was organizing his words, or as if he was considering something, "The real enemy is often hidden in places we can't see, and what we really have to do is not just fighting..."

The words of the old village chief echoed in the hearts of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen like a morning bell. They recalled everything they had experienced along the way, the thrilling battles, the helpless escapes, the lost relatives and friends... They always thought that as long as they had strong power, they could protect themselves and their families and defeat all enemies.

"But, did we really do the right thing?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself. She looked at Ling'er sleeping in her arms, her heart full of confusion and self-blame. They had been fleeing all the way, displaced, and homeless. Ling'er was still so young, and she had to endure all these hardships with them.

"We were so busy fighting that we ignored a lot of things," Xiao Yichen clenched his fists, his eyes filled with pain and struggle, "We didn't even have time to think, to find out the truth, to find a real solution..."

Ling'er sat quietly by the side. Although she was young, she was very sensible. She knew what her parents were going through and knew she was powerless to change it. But she didn't cry or complain. Her big eyes flashed with determination and maturity that didn't match her age.

Ling'er's eyes fell on the cloth bag brought by the old village chief, which contained some simple herbs. She remembered that the old village chief used these herbs to treat the injuries and dispel the diseases of the patients in the village. She knew that the power of magic can not only be used for fighting, but also for healing and protection.

"I want to learn more magic," Ling'er suddenly raised her head and looked at her parents firmly, "I want to be like the old village chief and use magic to help more people!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at Ling'er in surprise. They didn't expect that Ling'er had such a firm belief at such a young age.

"Child, you..." Chu Mengmeng wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old village chief with a gesture.

The old village chief looked at Ling'er lovingly, his eyes full of admiration and satisfaction. He knew that this child would have unlimited achievements in the future.

"Children," the old village chief said slowly, "Do you know that there is a legendary sword in this world?"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen shook their heads in confusion. They had never heard of such a legend.

"This sword is called..." The old village chief paused and looked into the distance with deep eyes, "Sword of Light."

"Sword of Light?" Xiao Yichen repeated in a low voice, with doubt and a hint of hope in his tone, "Does this sword really exist?"

The old village chief nodded slightly, his eyes deep and far-reaching, "Legend has it that the Sword of Light is condensed from the purest and most benevolent energy in the world, and has the power to dispel all darkness. It is sleeping in a corner of the continent, waiting to be awakened by the person chosen by fate."

Ling'er in Chu Mengmeng's arms seemed to be attracted by the story of "Sword of Light". She opened her curious eyes and held her mother's clothes tightly with her little hands.

"Old man, what you mean is..." Chu Mengmeng seemed to understand something, but was not sure.

The old village chief did not answer directly, but looked at Ling'er, his eyes flashing with wisdom, "Child, do you believe that there is light in this world?"

Ling'er nodded without hesitation, "I believe it! Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and everyone in the village are all bright!"

The old village chief smiled with relief, "Yes, light has always been in our hearts. The Sword of Light is the symbol of this power. If we find it, we may be able to find a way to completely resolve this crisis."

"But where can we find this legendary sword?" Xiao Yichen asked, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

The old village chief pointed to the distance, his voice low and firm, "The place where the Sword of Light sleeps is called the 'Valley of Holy Light'. It is one of the oldest and most mysterious places on the continent, full of unknown dangers and challenges. But I also believe that as long as you hold on to light and move forward bravely, you will definitely find it!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. They knew that the search for the Sword of Light would be a thorny journey, but for Ling'er and for all the people involved in this disaster, they had to give it a try.

"Let's go!" Chu Mengmeng said firmly, her tone full of determination. Xiao Yichen also nodded heavily, protecting his wife and daughter behind him, as if swearing to withstand all wind and rain for them.

The old village chief looked at them with satisfaction and handed an ancient scroll to Chu Mengmeng solemnly. "This is the information I have collected about the 'Valley of Holy Light' over the years. I hope it can be of help to you."

"Thank you, old man!" Chu Mengmeng took the scroll with both hands, her heart filled with gratitude. They knew that the old village chief had placed his last hope on them.

Ling'er also poked her head out from Chu Mengmeng's arms and said in a baby voice, "Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely find the Sword of Light and come back to protect everyone!"

The old village chief caressed Ling'er's head lovingly, his eyes deep and far-reaching. He knew that what awaited them would be a journey full of unknowns, but he also believed that this seed of hope would eventually bloom into a dazzling light in the darkness.

Chu Mengmeng and her family packed their simple bags and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Chu Mengmeng looked at the weathered old village chief and said solemnly: "Old man, please rest assured, no matter what the result is..."

Her voice was firm and powerful, echoing over the quiet village, foreshadowing that they were about to embark on a journey full of unknowns and challenges.

"Old man, please rest assured. No matter what the outcome is, we will come back to protect the town." Chu Mengmeng held the old village chief's skinny hand with a firm look in her eyes.

Xiao Yichen also nodded solemnly, "Old man, we will always remember the kindness you and the villagers have shown us, and we will definitely come back."

The old village chief looked at them with relief, tears flashing in his cloudy eyes. He knew that the journey to find the Sword of Light was full of unknowns and dangers, but he believed that these two young people would definitely come back with hope.

"Good children, go ahead and be careful on the road." The old village chief watched them leave, his thin figure looking particularly long in the setting sun.

The figures of Chu Mengmeng's family of three gradually disappeared on the mountain path. Ling'er lay on Xiao Yichen's shoulder, looking back curiously. The town was getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from her sight.

"Mom, will we come back to see grandpa?" Ling'er asked in a baby voice.

"Yes, when we find the Sword of Light, we will come back to see grandpa and protect everyone." Chu Mengmeng answered gently, but her eyes were extremely firm.

As night fell, the sky was dotted with stars. Chu Mengmeng and her family of three climbed over one mountain after another under the starlight, and finally settled down temporarily in a cave.

"Yi Chen, look." Chu Mengmeng used the faint light of the fire to carefully study the scroll given to her by the old village chief.

Drawn on the scroll was an ancient map with various strange symbols and patterns marked on it, as well as a route leading to the "Valley of Holy Light".

"It seems that the journey to find the Sword of Light is more difficult than we imagined." Xiao Yichen looked at the intricate route on the map with a frown.

"No matter what, we have to give it a try." Chu Mengmeng closed the scroll with a determined look in her eyes.

The next morning, they set out on their journey again. Along the way, they encountered various difficulties and challenges.

Deep in the dense forest, there are ferocious beasts lurking, with bared fangs and claws, staring at them; on the rugged mountain road, there are jagged rocks, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss; on the desolate Gobi Desert, the scorching sun and the lack of water are testing their willpower...

But no matter what difficulties they encountered, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen never gave up. They supported and encouraged each other, and for Ling'er and the light in their hearts, they were fearless and moved forward courageously.

"Yi Chen, look, what is that?" Chu Mengmeng asked in surprise, pointing to a towering mountain in the distance.

At the top of the mountain, a faint golden light shone through, like a sharp sword piercing the sky...
