The villagers got to the bottom of it, which made Xia Yu and Luo Xiaofeng very headaches, and if they continued to ask like this, they couldn't make up their lies.

Lu Yong was impatient next to him, bared his teeth, grabbed the villager's collar, lifted the villager up from the ground, and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, say it quickly, where is the village chief's house, or I'll kill you!"

It is wrong to use violence, but sometimes violence is more effective than civility.

Lu Yong was so intimidated that the villager Hun (shēn) trembled, pointed to the distance, and said, "The village chief's house is there, turn left and then right, turn right and then turn left, and you will be there." ”

Xia Yu was dizzy when he heard this, and said, "Brother, I'm not familiar with this place, please take us there." ”

Before the villager could speak, Lu Yong dragged him and yelled, "Go, lead the way!"

The villagers didn't dare to provoke Lu Yong, who was like a fierce god, so they could only bow their heads, obediently lead the way in front, and take Xia Yu, Luo Xiaofeng and Lu Yong to the village chief's house.

Lu Yong shook off the villager and ordered, "Call your village chief out." ”

The villagers frowned sadly and turned their heads to look at Lu Yong.

Lu Yong's eyes widened and he said, "Tell him that we are martial artists of the Righteous Dao Academy." ”

The villagers hurriedly shouted: "Village chief, village chief, there are warriors who want to see you!"

The village chief was sleeping at home, and when he heard that a warrior was coming, he was so frightened that he didn't even wear his shoes, and ran out of the house as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

In the Kyushu Continent, where martial arts are respected, martial artists are high-ranking existences, and with a flick of their fingers, they can make ordinary people disappear.

The village chief came to the door, looked at it, and asked, "Which one is the warrior?"

Lu Yong stood up angrily, cocked his thumb, pointed to his nose, and shouted, "Lao Tzu is a warrior." ”

"Lord Warrior, please bow to the little old man," the village chief who was over the age of sixteen trembled, and wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Lu Yong.

Xia Yu stepped forward to support the village chief and shouted, "Old man, don't be like this, we are students of the Righteous Dao Academy, not bandits and robbers." ”

The village chief stood up, looked at Xia Yu, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Three martial artists, please inside, please inside." ”

The village chief invited Xia Yu, Luo Xiaofeng, and Lu Yong into the house, and asked the family to hurry up and prepare tea, snacks, melons, fruits, pears and dates.

Xia Yu said: "Old man, you don't have to be so polite, I just want to ask you a few questions." ”

"I wonder what's wrong with Lord Warrior?" the village chief stood beside Xia Yu's (shēn), respectful.

Xia Yu said: "I heard that the people of Yangjiazhuang are doing business with the demons on Skull Island, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

The village chief opened his mouth and rolled his eyes, thinking in his heart how to answer Xia Yu's question.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, old man, I don't mean anything else, I just want to go to Skull Island." ”

"Your Excellency is going to Skull Island?" the village chief looked surprised.

Lu Yong saw the village chief grinding and chirping, he was impatient, grabbed the village chief's collar, and shouted: "We ask you, you hurry up, to be honest, if you dare to grind and lie to us, this table is your end!"

As he spoke, Lu Yong raised a palm and slapped it on the table next to him, and with a bang, a puff of smoke and dust was raised, and a wooden table was smashed by Lu Yong.

The village chief was frightened, thinking that if Lu Yong's palm was slapped on his own (shēn), he would be himself

It's not enough to die even if you have nine lives.

The village chief didn't dare to hesitate or hesitate any longer, nodded again and again, and said, "Our village does business with the demons on Skull Island. ”

"Then have you ever been to Skull Island and seen demons?" Xia Yu asked.

The village chief said, "We haven't been to Skull Island, and we've never seen demons. On the first day of every month, the devil would send a crow to fly to our village with a note in its mouth and land on the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

"The note in the crow's mouth is the daily necessities that the demon needs, and we prepared these daily necessities, and loaded them onto the ship, and on the fifteenth day, we sailed two ships to the Sea of Death.

"Strange to say, on the fifteenth day, the sea of death must have been thunder and lightning, wind and rain. We put the ship with the necessities on the sea, and the devil sent the crow to bring us gold, and we got the gold and drove back to land in another ship. ”

Xia Yu asked, "How did the demon take away the ship with daily necessities?"

The village chief said, "We don't know about this, the devil warned us that after getting the gold, we should leave immediately, and we will not turn back." ”

Xia Yu fell into deep thought, and after a while, asked the village chief, "What is the rì child today?"

The village chief said: "Today is the thirteenth day of July. ”

Xia Yu said: "That means that the day after tomorrow, you are going to trade with the devil?"

The village chief nodded.

Xia Yu said: "I will go with you the day after tomorrow." ”

The village chief's face was embarrassed, he was worried that if Xia Yu died, the students of the dignified Dao Academy would be killed in Yangjiazhuang, and the people of the whole village would not be able to eat and walk around.

Even if Xia Yu does not die and offends the demon, the demon will no longer do business with Yangjiazhuang, and Yangjiazhuang will lose its most important economic income.

Xia Yu saw the village chief's thoughts, and said: "Old man, don't worry, we will be fine, we are the top students of the Righteous Dao Academy, and the demon will definitely not hurt us." ”

After listening to Xia Yu's words, the village chief's worries eased a little, and he said, "Okay, if the adults are willing, we will take the adults to the Sea of Death the day after tomorrow." ”

Xia Yu asked again: "Old man, can you show me the note that the crow brought from me?"

"Okay," the village chief took out a note and handed it to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu looked at it and found that this note was no different from an ordinary note, except that the words on it were written in blood. The daily necessities that demons need are similar to those of humans, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., nothing special.

Xia Yu lived with Luo Xiaofeng and Lu Yong in the village chief's house, and Lu Yong acted every day and asked the village chief to take out all the good wine (ròu) in the village and entertain him.

He put forward all kinds of demands, and the village chief had to meet them, and after a little hesitation, he glared at him and yelled at the village chief: "You dare to look down on our warriors, are you impatient?!"

Xia Yu and Luo Xiaofeng couldn't get used to Lu Yong's appearance, and advised him repeatedly, but Lu Yong ignored them all.

Xia Yu persuaded Lu Yong, but Lu Yong glared and shouted, "Can you manage it?!"

Luo Xiaofeng persuaded Lu Yong, and Lu Yong said: "Xiaofeng, we are martial artists, they are mortals, and they should serve us." ”

The war was imminent, Xia Yu didn't want to destroy the unity, and he put up with Lu Yong's behavior for the time being. He found the village chief and gave the village chief a gold ingot, which should be regarded as compensation for Lu Yong's harm to the village.

Yong wants to eat and drink, Xia Yu can still bear it, but one day, Lu Yong was drunk and wanted to tease the village chief's youngest daughter, Xia Yu couldn't bear it anymore.

When Xia Yu entered the house, he saw Lu Yong pressing the village chief's little daughter (chuáng) on it, pouting a stinky mouth, and wanted to kiss the little girl's face.

Xia Yu was furious, went up and grabbed Lu Yong, and hit Lu Yong in the eye with a heavy punch. Lu Yong felt the world spinning and fell to the ground.

"Bastard, you dare to hit me," Lu Yong jumped up, making a gesture to fight with Xia Yu.

Xia Yu grabbed Lu Yong's neck, pressed Lu Yong to the wall, and shouted, "You give me honesty!"

Lu Yong drank the wine, struggled desperately with the strength of the wine, and shouted: "You little cub, you dare to do something with the two of me......"

Lu Yong was shouting, Xia Yu raised his palm and summoned the butcher's knife of Di Jixing, the butcher's knife flashed with cold light and rested on Lu Yong's neck.

(In "Water Margin", Diji Xing is (cāo) knife ghost - Cao Zheng)

"If you dare to move, I will kill you," Xia Yu looked at Lu Yong and said coldly.

Lu Yong felt like falling into an ice cave, and a cold breath penetrated through his heart, Xia Yu was not scaring him like this, he was definitely doing what he said, and he could kill him with a knife.

Lu Yong broke out in a cold sweat, sobered up, and didn't dare to move.

At this time, Luo Xiaofeng walked in and saw the village chief's youngest daughter in disheveled clothes and crying, Xia Yu held down Lu Yong and put the knife on Lu Yong's neck, looking like she was going to kill.

"Senior Brother Xia, if you have something to say, put the knife down," Luo Xiaofeng ran over to persuade Xia Yu.

The vicious god (qíng) on Xia Yu's face eased a little, and Luo Xiaofeng asked, "What's going on?"

"This beast wants to harm other people's little girls," Xia Yu said through gritted teeth.

Lu Yong lowered his head and remained silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Luo Xiaofeng was furious, looked at Lu Yong, and said, "Lu Yong, how can you do such a thing?!"

Lu Yong looked at Luo Xiaofeng and said, "Isn't it just a mortal?"

"You're still fucking unconvinced," Xia Yu grabbed Lu Yong's collar again and raised the butcher knife.

Luo Xiaofeng hurriedly grabbed Xia Yu and said, "Okay, okay, Senior Brother Xia, he hasn't made a big mistake yet, let's spare him this time for the time being." ”

Xia Yu shook off Lu Yong and said, "You bastard, be honest, if you dare to bully men and women again, I will castrate you first!"

Xia Yu brandished a butcher knife and gestured at Lu Yong's crotch, which frightened Lu Yong (shēn) and almost peed his pants.

After being taught such a lesson by Xia Yu, Lu Yong stopped for a while, and soon it was July 15, Xia Yu and they should go to sea to meet the demon for a while.

On the 15th day of July, the villagers got up early to get busy, preparing to deliver daily necessities to the demons. The demon had told the villagers that after delivering their groceries, they must return to the shore before dark, otherwise they would die without a place to be buried.

It takes four hours to get from Yangjiazhuang to the Sea of Death, so the villagers have to hurry.

Xia Yu, Luo Xiaofeng, and Lu Yong dressed up as villagers, boarded the boat with two young people, waved goodbye to the villagers, and drove the boat to the Sea of Death.

The villagers of Yangjiazhuang do not fish, their income depends on doing business with demons, and after the young people bring back the gold, the village will exchange the gold for silver and copper plates, and distribute it equally to each family.
