What should I do if I look too fierce?

The familiar old man received Aokiji, and he still chose to accept Aokiji to rest here for a day, and provided him with good food, drink and a warm room. However, this time, Aokiji, who had a good rest last night, did not behave like last time. He also followed Murase Tamao to protect her, but after letting her go back to the house to rest, he left the house.

After finding the old man chatting with a few middle-aged people outside, Aokiji said: "Seeing that there are people on guard at the entrance of your village, is there any danger nearby?"

The old man looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Because the Demon King's army is causing chaos in the world, there are bandits everywhere now. A few days ago, a group of bandits took a fancy to our village and threatened us to pay our finances in exchange for peace, but..."

"If you look at the appearance of our village, you should know that we really don't have that much money." The old man sighed and said, "You can't tell when they will call. Although we don't have much ability, We can’t wait for the killing, so we have to send young children to keep an eye on them so as to make preparations.”

"With your fighting power, how can you survive when you encounter robbers." Aokiji said something he didn't understand. If the robbers came without saying hello in advance, they would be killed like last time. He It's understandable, but since those people have said it, why don't you just pack up and run away?

"Then what can we do? Our village relies on hunting for a living. During the war, the cultivated land cannot be maintained at all. Now that I have run away, where can I go?" The old man laughed miserably: "If we encounter the Demon King's army, we will have to fight again." Men are forced to join the army, and old people are reduced to slavery—it would be easier to be killed by robbers.”

Aokiji looked at the village's crude defense measures - a few fences, a wooden gate, and the wooden guns and kitchen knives in their hands. It was a fantasy to expect them to defend against the robbers.

Closing his eyes and meditating, Aokiji made a strategy: "Since you are willing to take me in, I can't eat and drink for free, so I will help you deal with this group of robbers."

"Really!" The old man looked ecstatic: "But, sir, do you know that these robbers are not ordinary people. Not only are they well-equipped, I heard that there are also escaped ninjas among them. Just from what I heard, They have already slaughtered two villages."

When he said this, his face turned pale.

"I need you to cooperate with me." Aokiji raised his lips slightly: "If I guess correctly, tonight, they will attack directly under the cover of night."

"Why, why is this?" The old man didn't quite understand why Aoki Si made such a judgment, but Aoki Si said very confidently: "Premonition."

The old man stared at him with a strange expression.

But Aokiji said to himself: "I need you to help me dig some traps."

Aokiji's words made a middle-aged man next to the old man look unhappy. He whispered: "What if I don't come?"

"If you don't come, you won't need it in the future?" Aoki Si looked at him and took a step forward. His height was considered extremely outstanding during the Warring States Period. In this era, there were very few Neon people over 1.7 meters tall. Very, no, not many are over 1.6 meters tall!

Yes, you heard it right, in this era, the average height of Neon is 1.6 meters!

Therefore, when Aoki Si took a step forward and stared down at the middle-aged man, his eyesight went dark. He raised his head and looked at Aoki Si who lowered his head, and he was actually trembling with fear.

"I can leave you alone and leave directly after eating and drinking, and you will be massacred by the robbers at will. I just always repay kindness, so I just want to help you. If it is not necessary, I will certainly not ask for trouble." Aokiji said After that, the old man hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, sir, please calm down. He just encountered some bad things today and is in a bad mood. He doesn't mean any disrespect to you, right?"

The middle-aged man was stared down condescendingly by Aokiji, who was almost 20 centimeters taller and wider than him. Hearing this, he showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes, I'm just, I'm just a little worried. Let the Lord work hard in vain."

"You dig, I'll be responsible for guiding you." After finishing speaking, Aokiji took two steps back, recalling the attack route of the robbers last time. He took the old man with him, gestured at several locations at the entrance of the village, and left the work to They said: "Since you make a living by hunting, you should be good at setting traps."

"Don't worry, sir. We'll do it now." The old man was very respectful. Aokiji nodded and looked up at the sky: "It must be done before sunset today. Get as many as we can. As soon as the sun sets, we will let those who have no fighting ability." The children and women took refuge in my house, the men armed themselves and guarded the house, and I did the rest.”

The old man nodded repeatedly, and after Aokiji finished his instructions, he went back to the room.

Murase Tamao's mental state was much better this time. He was only tired and confused about the loss of his country and his family. Although he still looked haggard, he was not sick.

Aoki Si closed his eyes in the room to rest. This time, he simply squinted for a while to replenish his energy. It was just dark when the old man knocked on the door suddenly, and Aoki Si suddenly opened his eyes.

"Aoki-kun, are the pursuers coming?" Murase Tamao hasn't slept yet, watching the people in the village busy outside, digging holes and whittling wooden spears, with expressions of nervousness and fear. I thought it was Aokiji's pursuers behind the defense.

Aokiji shook his head gently: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with us. Just stay in the house and rest for a day. We will continue our journey tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked out and started checking the traps.

Although these hunters' traps look very crude and their camouflage is a bit awkward, fortunately, the sky is getting darker and it will be difficult to see clearly when it is completely dark.

Aokiji estimated that the time was almost up, so he asked the villagers to go back to guard, leaving him alone, standing at the gate of the village, looking at the distance that turned darker and darker, and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife at his waist.

After waiting for about half an hour, a dozen men carrying samurai swords and wearing linen clothes with fierce expressions appeared in the field of vision. They saw Aoki Tsukasa. Their expressions were a little surprised, but they didn't care. Instead, they smiled excitedly. He rushed towards Aokiji.

Aokiji took a deep breath. This time, he did not plan to use the gods to descend to earth, but relied solely on his own strength, put aside the fear of death, and took this battle completely seriously.

He knew that the system gave him a special prologue to practice and get used to it. If he couldn't even use the Feitian sword style to escape and win against such an enemy, then the enemies in the future would probably Harder.

Just a group of robbers.

Aokiji slowly pulled out the long knife.

PS: My tonsillitis was very painful yesterday but I didn’t take it seriously. As a result, my head got a little hot this afternoon. I got up and barely managed to write a chapter. I will try my best to write it for the second update, but it may be a little later.
