Changsheng: I will win my life with martial arts, and I will defeat the demons in this chaotic world

The farmer nodded hurriedly:"I am from Heitu Village, sir."

Yang Bin was a little surprised when he heard it:"Heitu Village? It's more than ten miles away from here, right? How could you run so far to farm? You are obviously lying! Tell me, who are you and what is your purpose?"

""Sir, I am innocent!" The farmer put down his farm tools and looked extremely terrified:"I am really from Heitu Village. My name is Wang Fugui. If you don't believe me, go ask around in the village."

Lu Ren looked him up and down and indeed found nothing suspicious.

He was just an ordinary farmer who worked the land honestly.

"It is said that the land in your Heitu Village is very fertile, and the annual grain output ranks first among all the villages in the town. How come you suddenly come to this abandoned farmland for many years?"

Yang Bin also had this doubt:"Even if the farmland is tight, there is no need to run so far, right?"

Just the round trip would take a full two hours, and there is also the risk of encountering demons.

No matter how you look at it, Wang Fugui's words are questionable.

"Two officials......."Wang Fugui hesitated for a moment and told the truth:"I was forced to come here because I had no other choice. If the land in the village could still be cultivated, who would want to run around?........"

Lu Ren and Yang Bin looked at each other and noticed something was wrong.

"You said that the land in the village can no longer be cultivated? What exactly is going on?"

"About two months ago, strange things happened in the village. The crops planted in the soil died for no reason. There was no natural disaster or insect pest, and no one could find the reason. The grain payment is only half a year away. If we can't provide enough grain by then, our Heitu Village will be in big trouble." Seeing

Wang Fugui complaining, Lu Ren asked coldly:"Why hasn't this happened two months ago been reported to the town until today?"

Wang Fugui felt so wronged that he quickly explained:"After the incident, we asked someone to report it to the town, but no one paid any attention........"

Yang Bin said,"Nonsense! How could the town ignore such a big thing?"

Wang Fugui was so terrified that he almost knelt down to prove his innocence.

"My two sirs, this concerns the life and death of the entire village. How dare I deceive you!"

"Then you know....Who was the person who received you at that time?"

Wang Fugui recalled carefully:"Uh.....I heard the village chief mention it. It seems that his surname is Lu. His age should be about the same as the two officials."

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Lu Ren and Yang Bin with a complicated look. With a hint of hesitation, he said carefully:"Do the two officials know this person?"

Yang Bin raised his eyebrows calmly and glanced at Lu Ren beside him.

Haha, what a"official" who is just a figurehead and a monkey in a crown!

What a great irony!

Lu Ren couldn't help but blush and was a little speechless.

He had to take the blame for his previous life.........

The key is that in his memory, the impression of the incident in Heitu Village is very vague. If Wang Fugui hadn't just reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.

Mainly because in the eyes of his predecessor, the importance of such a matter was far less than which woman he should find to sleep with that day.

As time went by, he naturally forgot about it.

"That's right!" Seeing that the two officials did not respond, Wang Fugui provided another clue:"I remember one person. At that time, the town had not sent anyone to the village to investigate, so our village chief went there again.

The man was called Wu Xin, tall and thin, and not very talkative."

Hearing the name Wu Xin, Lu Ren was slightly stunned.

This person is also one of the constables in Yangliu Town, but he is used to being alone and not very sociable.

His predecessor had almost no intersection with him.

However, it is said that this person is quite reliable in doing things.

"So, this Wu Xin didn't help you solve the problem either?"

Wang Fugui nodded, then shook his head:"The official surnamed Wu did go to the village in person and checked the fields of each household, but in the end he didn't give any useful explanation.

The villagers were very anxious at the time, and they may have spoken a little harshly, which annoyed the official.

He pushed all the responsibility on us, saying that we had done evil things and were now punished by God......."

It can be heard that Wang Fugui was also helpless.

This statement itself was unreasonable.

But there was nothing he could do, because he was an official.

After two consecutive reports to the government without success, the villagers had long been disappointed with the officials in Yangliu Town. They were determined to rely on their farming skills passed down from generation to generation to grow a new batch of grain before the tribute date.

If they could not hand it in full, the whole village would suffer.

For their livelihood, the people of Heitu Village began to disperse and pick up the abandoned fields in the surrounding areas for sowing.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ren said,"You continue to be busy, let's go to Heitu Village to see the situation."

Before leaving, he took out a meat pie wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it to Wang Fugui.

"Take this, you've worked hard, don't go hungry."

Wang Fugui took the meat pie in a daze. After a long pause, he looked at the two figures that had gone far away, and a mist rose in front of his eyes.

"Thank you, sir!"

It turns out that not all officials are like the one named Lu and Wu.........

There are still good people in this world.

After eating the fragrant meat pie in a few bites, Wang Fugui was more motivated to hoe the land.

Although he didn't think the two officials could really find out anything, at least their attitude was positive.........

On the way to Heitu Village,

Yang Bin asked with a strange look on his face,"When they found you, you refused to help. Why are you pretending to investigate now?"

Lu Ren smiled heartlessly,"You have done a lot of evil things. Now you want to accumulate some virtue for yourself. Is that not okay?"

���Yang Bin obviously did not expect Lu Ren to give such an answer.

Besides being surprised, he was more delighted.

Since yesterday, there seemed to be some subtle changes in the person in front of him.

Although Yang Bin could not confirm the root of this change, he was sure of one thing, that this change was a positive signal.

"Lu Ren, I'm glad you think so."

"Oh, I can't be happy."

"Why?" Yang Bin was puzzled.

"......Because I have a lot of virtues to accumulate."

Yang Bin couldn't help laughing, and patted Lu Ren's shoulder to encourage him:"Come on, I believe in you."

Lu Ren pushed his hand away with a look of disgust:"Next time, let your cute niece do the job of encouraging people."

Yang Bin's smile froze, and then turned into a strong anger

"Lu Ren!!! She is only fourteen years old!"

Lu Ren said with a wry smile:"It's just a joke, don't get so excited! Besides, even if I'm not afraid of you as an uncle, I don't dare to provoke your elder brother Yang Lie, right?"

"Humph, if I find out that you dare to set your sights on my niece, we will no longer be brothers!"

Lu Ren joked,"If we can't be brothers, we can still be in-laws. You are a generation older than me, so you should have made a fortune."

Yang Bin gave him a look and let him understand for himself.

Unknowingly, the two of them came to the outside of Heitu Village.

Looking around, there was not a single green scene in the open fields.

Right in front of them was a rice field.

However, the seedlings in it were all withered, yellow and black, and collapsed in the field in a mess, looking lifeless.

Lu Ren walked up to the ridge and pulled up a seedling at random.

Then, his eyes focused and he found the problem.

"It was the demon who did it!"
