The Splendor of All Nations Chapter 242 The Village
When the children heard the approaching footsteps, they all stopped what they were playing with and raised their heads suspiciously, but when they saw Lingfeng, they all showed frightened expressions, and they didn't even have time to throw away the stones in their hands and ran into the village.
A childish, piercing scream came from the mouth of one of the fastest boys: "Ah, those people are here again!"
"Woo, I miss my great. ”
Next to the little boy, a girl with short hair cried while running, and the last friend was so frightened by Lingfeng's face that he could only try his best to keep up with them.
That is, at the moment when the children's voices fell, men and women kept running from the dilapidated wooden houses to the street, most of them holding axes and sickles in their hands, and when they saw Ling Feng who was frowning slightly at the entrance of the village, their faces did not look very good.
The children were all afraid and hid at the back of the crowd, and some of the bold ones secretly poked their heads out of the waists of the adults, they should have been a simple age, but most of their eyes when they looked at Ling Feng were afraid and hidden, and disgust.
An old man with all his hair and a yellow face struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and the men tried to stop him, but he staggered a few steps towards Ling Feng.
Then he fell to his knees on the ground, and slammed his forehead, which was only wrapped in a layer of skin, into the yellow earth, and a voice of pleading came from under the thin body: "This year, the rain has not fallen, and there is really no food in the village, please raise your noble hand and let us go for a year, and the harvest of the next year will be fully offered!"
"Village chief, get up, why are you kneeling here, Ah Da who killed Yi'er yesterday, and today he sent someone to kill us, so let's just fight with them!"
"That's it, not to mention that there is no harvest this year, and it will rise for a whole generation in order to sacrifice to the sky, and we still need meat, if we really want it, we will tear down our bones and take them back, village chief.."
Those men said bitterly, but when they spoke, their eyes were looking at Ling Feng, very ruthless, this kind of look Ling Feng had seen on a kind of demon beast, lone wolf!
The determination to tear a piece of flesh from the enemy at all costs.
But the village chief kept kneeling on the ground and refused to raise his head, and the men tried hard to pull him up from the ground, but for some reason the body that was so thin that only bones were left showed amazing strength, and he couldn't pull it at all.
And although these men are men, they are actually very thin, and even the muscles on the exposed black and purple arms are only a small one.
The ragged villagers in the back also didn't know what to do, but they suddenly found that Lingfeng at the entrance of the village suddenly disappeared, turned into an afterimage and rushed over, all the villagers' pupils shrank a little, and a cry of fear appeared from their mouths, but it stopped abruptly.
"Come back, the man."
"He... !”
There was a sudden silence all around, and everyone stared at the scene in disbelief with wide eyes, including the man who was trying to lift the old man up from the ground.
I saw Ling Feng appear in front of the old man at a ghostly speed, and there was a flying dust behind him, he clasped one hand on the old man's shoulder, easily pulled the old man up, looked at the old man with tears in his eyes, and said lightly: "You recognize the wrong person." ”
“......”
An hour later, Ling Feng and the villagers sat on the ground, not minding that their clothes were dirty, and quietly listened to the old man's narration under the curious eyes of the villagers.
From the old man's mouth, Ling Feng knew why they were so hostile to him.
It turned out that this small village was in the territory of a mortal kingdom, and a certain amount of grain was handed over every year for protection, but in fact, the so-called protection was just that the imperial court did not do anything to them.
In the past, they could barely hand over enough shares, but this year, for some reason, there hasn't been a single rain, so when those people came a few days ago, they killed one of them, saying that they would have a little more time, otherwise there would be no need for this village to exist.
So just now when they saw Ling Feng coming here alone, and his clothes were clean and beautiful, they all thought that the imperial court had sent someone.
"Why don't you get out of here?"
Ling Feng looked at the emaciated villagers around him and asked, but they all shook their heads with a wry smile, and the village chief sighed directly: "There are big cats all around, and they will come to us when they are hungry, how can we stop it, every time we just want to die a little less." ”
When he said this, the eyes of all the villagers darkened, obviously poking at their sadness.
Ling Feng could see at a glance that they were all just mortals, and whoever was smart in the mortal world could be king, rather than respecting strength like a martial artist.
With the birth of villagers like these, it is difficult to have a chance to turn over.
As for why there wasn't a decent weapon in the village, Ling Feng guessed it without asking, the money should have been used to buy farming tools, and even the axes were purchased for both cutting wood and wood.
The people around were silent, and Ling Feng suddenly said, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time." ”85
In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, they had already guessed what Ling Feng wanted to do, Ling Feng was definitely not a mortal, he could only be the legendary "warrior" who could fight against the big cat
The village chief looked at the red-haired young man beside him with his mouth open, but he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, Ling Feng smiled slightly, and a sword that shone with a blue-green light suddenly appeared in his hand, and was inserted into the dirt under the shocked gaze of the villagers.
"If those people dare to come, you will kill them with this sword. ”
Ling Feng left such a sentence, and disappeared in place under the gaze of everyone looking at the gods, turning into an afterimage in the sunset and rushing out of the village and running into the distance.
The children stood up even more excitedly, their dark eyes shining as if there was starlight hidden in them, and they also wanted to become a strong person like Ling Feng.
Protect the villagers from infringement and let everyone have a bite to eat!
But those village chiefs and men kept looking at the sword left by Ling Feng, and their bodies trembled, they had never seen anything like this, but they all knew that it was definitely an amazing thing, and it could protect their village.
All of this was given by the red-haired young man who met for the first time, Ling Feng didn't say anything to them about their needs, a few random words, but saved dozens of their lives, such a great kindness, they are willing to pass it on forever.
Just when the small village had not recovered from the huge surprise brought by Ling Feng, a group of people rode black horses and wore iron armor to rush here, and the edge of the long sword unsheathed at the waist was particularly dazzling in the dusk.
It was night, Ling Feng was walking in the dark, dragging the huge prey behind him, his face was calm, for him this was just a matter of raising his hands, if he could save the lives of dozens of people, why not.
As the distance shortened, the shape of the small village also appeared in front of Ling Feng's eyes, but Ling Feng's face suddenly turned cold, let go of the tail of the prey, his steps gradually became heavy, and a blood-red long sword appeared in his hand, as red as hair, and then walked towards the small village.
The village in the distance had no fire in the night, and there seemed to be no living person, and it was surrounded by a wilderness, and the faint light of the moon and stars was far from enough to dispel the cold in the village.
"Click!"
When Lingfeng stood at the entrance of the village again, there were still the three children in front of the village gate, their small bodies were sitting on the wood, but the poor heads didn't know where to go, the children's simple clothes turned dark red, and the red blood fell on their skin, even in the dark night.
One of their hands rested on their knees, as if waiting for someone to come back.
And beside those little feet, the heads of the three lay there, facing the sky, with the fear of death on their little faces, and even the eyes had not yet closed, and the full moon was hidden inside, so quiet.
Ling Feng's chest rose and fell sharply, and then a breath of turbid air slowly spit out of his mouth, and Junyi's face was as stiff as a piece of cold iron at the moment.
"It's cold outside, I'll take you back. ”
Lingfeng tried hard not to let the angry flames in his chest roar out, slowly squatted down, and carefully picked up the cold body of the child on the far left, not caring about the blood that had not yet coagulated all over his body, and continued to pick up the child's head and walk towards the village.
The moonlight pulled his body out of a long shadow, and all around him were bloody scenes, and the people who had been sitting and talking with him more than an hour ago were now lying on the ground, stained with blood, and fell asleep without breathing.
Lingfeng put the child on a small wooden bed in a wooden house, then turned around and walked out of the village, picked up the two remaining children outside, put them together and covered them with straw, and left the wooden house expressionlessly.
Ling Feng walked alone on the loess, carrying the corpses away from the cold ground, he was not afraid of the horror of the villagers after their deaths, but looked at them seriously, as if he wanted to engrave each of these faces in his mind.
From the eyes of the villagers, Ling Feng saw the hope hidden in the depths of his eyes in the midst of anger, and they were waiting for him to come back.
Lingfeng didn't know who was the parents, who was the brother, who was the wife, who was the husband, so he placed the three of them in the room, and then gently closed the door and walked out of this peaceful village in the moonlight.
Standing at the entrance of the village, he threw out a red flame behind him, and a very light sound came from Ling Feng's mouth, spreading in the dark night.
"Sleep.."
The crimson flames were blazing, and the tongues of fire licked and ate everything they could taste, and soon spread throughout the village, and countless demon beasts that coveted this place were hiding, looking at it in horror, this place has never been so bright.
Ling Feng didn't look at the fire behind him, the firelight illuminated his back, and a red long sword was once again clenched in his hand, and then he threw himself into the darkness with blood stains all over his body.
The red mangs are a little cold and the wind rises
Blood spattered, tears spilled, heart away!
