Encountering a Bandit on the Road

The seven people looked at each other, shouted, and strode towards the village in front of them.

As we got closer, we realized that there were only a dozen or so families in this village, and they were all built with thatched cottages, which were scattered and irregular. Some yards were large, while others were small. They were surrounded by thigh-thick logs, forming a circle. There are clumps of thorns planted under the fence, forming a plant protection circle.

A few children in the village were running and playing. When they saw these seven monster-like humans, they were so frightened that they cried loudly and ran back to their respective homes.

Soon a few strong men with machetes, bows and arrows came out from the hut, followed by a few old men and a few middle-aged women, all holding wooden sticks and steel forks, looking desperate.

These people confronted Gu Xiangfei and the others. Emperor Kanli said first, “We are passing through expensive land and want to find a place with a town. We don’t know how to get there? Can you tell us where the main road is?”

A few strong men, old men, and middle-aged women all looked at them in bewilderment, obviously not understanding the language of Emperor Kanli Shenzhen.

The strong men probably saw that only Gu Xiangfei had a hatchet in his hand, and the others were all old men with white beards, and saw that they were not hostile, so they all put down their weapons.

A strong man murmured a few words, but Gu Xiangfei and the others didn’t understand what he said, but these people were god emperors and gods, so they quickly remembered what he said just now, Vice President Tiansen also He murmured in response to what the strong man said just now.

The strong man and several others were stunned again. Why did the old man say the same thing as I asked him, so he said a few more words, and his face became a little anxious.

Vice President Tiansen quickly repeated what the strong man said. The strong man turned his head to look at the people in the village, meaningHe is learning to talk to me, how can I ask?

An old man in the village stood up and said a few words to Vice President Tiansen, and Vice President Tiansen soon followed him to learn what he had just said.

In just one stick of incense, Vice President Tiansen and Emperor Kanli Shenzheng all learned the language spoken by the people in this village.

After learning the language, communication is much faster. The strong man is called Lu Qi, and the old man is his father, Lu Qi. Lu Qi also knows their names, and he is very hospitable. The woman is Lu Qi’s wife, pour them some bowls of hot water, no tea.

“Lu Zhuangshi, what is this place? Where is the nearest town to your place?” Sitting on the homemade stool in Lu Qi’s house, Vice President Tiansen took a sip of hot water before asking Lu Qi about the situation here.

“Old Man Tiansen, this is Wuliangwu. It’s a three-day journey from our place to Wuliang Town ahead. It’s just right for you to go to the town. I’m going to the town tomorrow too. I’ll take you with me.” Lu Qi just knew He has never been to these two places, no matter how far away, his ancestors have lived here for several generations. There is no war here, and life is very peaceful and peaceful.

It was the first time in the evening that they ate a delicious corn meal. Emperor Kanli Shenzhen and a few old guys were very excited. The corn in Lu Qi’s house was grown by himself, the vegetables were also grown by himself, and the chickens and ducks were raised by himself.

They kept part of the jerky they brought, and gave the rest to Lu Qi. The children of Lu Qi’s family ate these tasteless jerky very happily.

The next morning, Lu Qi hitched up the ox cart and called them up. The ox cart was very spacious, and there was still money for the seven of them to sit in. Finally, they stopped walking. The seven of them felt very happy.

Gu Xiangfei was tossing back and forth during this period, and he was also a little tired. Sitting on the bullock cart, he remembered that when he went to the Martial Arts Academy, the beast cart he rode was much faster than this bullock cart, but he didn’t feel as happy as he does now.

Lu Qi often went to the town to buy daily necessities. Once he went to the town, he would bring back some daily necessities of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar to the whole village. This time he also came to the shopping time, so he happened to take Gu Xiangfei and the others there.

At noon, Lu Qi brought dry food. I don’t know what kind of noodles it is made of. In short, it is much more delicious than jerky. Lu Qi ate their jerky. Although there was no salt, Lu Qi still ate it with relish. It can be seen that their lives are not very good, they just barely make ends meet.

At night, Lu Qi took them to a dilapidated earthen temple by the road. The roof was exposed to the sky, and there were no collapsed walls around. Lu Qi used a fire scythe to raise a fire to keep warm at night and resist wild beast attacks. .

After simply eating something, the eight of them gathered around the fire and chatted for a while. Lu Qi didn’t say how big this continent was, but only said that there were martial arts masters. Knowing that he is a countryman and has never traveled far, he naturally does not have so much knowledge. No more questions, just lie down and rest.

The next morning, Gu Xiangfei continued on his way. Gu Xiangfei was sitting on the bullock cart, running regular exercises from time to time, trying to find the aura here, but ended in disappointment. Several other old guys were also looking for aura from time to time, and the result was the same as Gu Xiangfei disappointment.

At night, Lu Qi deviated from the main road for a few miles. There was an abandoned village with dozens of households. The roofs were all burned, and the surrounding walls still had traces of fire. Obviously, this village was massacred empty.

“This place is called Zhenbei Shop. It was burned down by bandits five years ago, and all the people in the shop were killed. They said they were looking for some cheat book. I don’t know if they found it. Anyway, there is no one here.” Lu Lu Qi led them to an ancestral hall, where the gate was burned off, and the remaining half was still charred with wood boards after the fire.

Lu Qi lit another fire. Seven people ate up his dry food, and now everyone started eating jerky again.

There was a vibrating sound from the ground, as if someone was coming here on horseback. Gu Xiangfei and the others looked at Lu Qi and found that Lu Qi didn’t feel anyone coming. He took out a short knife from his rucksack.

“Someone is coming, and they are all on horseback. There are more than a dozen horses. They may be bandits. Don’t resist. Some bandits are there for money, and generally they don’t kill people.” Lu Qi was obviously terrified, with a trembling voice , I haven’t forgotten to comfort them.

Gu Xiangfei and a few old guys smiled, and finally someone brought them the tools for their journey. During this period of time, they were very aggrieved. The majestic God Emperor, the elder of the Xuantian Academy of the Five Elements Universe, and the branch school of Zhendao Long, wandering here, eating barbecue jerky, drinking muddy rainwater, and carrying animal skin bags on the road like ordinary mortals, now someone is finally here to make trouble, they are too happy, and they are afraid.

“Bang Dang!” With a sound, someone kicked the dilapidated gate of the ancestral hall away, and seven or eight burly men came in from the outside, with a bloody smell on their bodies and some blood on their clothes, obviously they had just killed someone .

When Lu Qi saw the people who came in, he was terrified. The hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably. He was about to fall to the ground and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.

“It turned out to be a group of countrymen. They took out their money and spared you from death.” One of the several big men said, and the rest of the big men held the steel knives in their hands eager to try, as if they would start killing people without giving money, no ! Even if they gave money, they would also kill people. There was a bloodthirsty light in their eyes.

“Brother Gu, you are the youngest here, we are all oldBones, only you come out ahead. Vice President Tiansen didn’t even look at the seven or eight big men, turned his head and said to Gu Xiangfei with a smile, as if he was chatting normally.

“Since brother Tiansen said it, I have no choice but to resign myself to it, alas! I don’t even feel proud to kill these people who are dying.” After Gu Xiangfei finished speaking, he stood up and walked in front of the big man who asked them to give them money. , smashed his head with a punch, reached out to catch the steel knife in the big man’s hand, swung it a few times in a row, then flashed forward, and came to the door.

There are five big men outside the ancestral hall, guarding the horses, and one of them is with his arm crossed. He may be injured. On the cloth strip wrapped around his arm, with the light of the campfire, blood can still be seen oozing out.

Gu Xiangfei didn’t talk nonsense with them, he turned the steel knife in his hand casually, then turned around and went back to the ancestral hall.

When Lu Qi saw Gu Xiangfei standing up, he thought he was going to give money to these big men. He didn’t pay attention to what Vice President Tiansen said to Gu Xiangfei, and now he was almost scared to death.

After Gu Xiangfei smashed the head of a big man with a punch, he came back to his senses and hurried to the side. After two breaths, he saw Gu Xiangfei going out again. Several big men standing in the ancestral hall were holding the Neck, unable to even speak, blood poured out of the neck like a spring, and soon dyed the ground red, and several big men plopped! Plop… fell to the ground, died of breathlessness.

“Hey! Brother Gu should take them outside to kill them and make a mess here. How are we going to sleep for a while? Fellow Daoists, get up and clean up!” Elder Li Shi stood up and began to search for the things that these big men were carrying. thing,

A few other old guys also stood up and searched the belongings of these big men, but no one paid attention to Lu Qi who was already trembling with fright.
