Chapter 39: The Black Wind Thieves
Between the mountains and mountains, a vigorous figure is shuttling in the mountains and forests. In order to hone himself, Ye Tian had already abandoned the blue-scaled horse and switched to walking.
It has been three months since Ye Tian left Sunset City, and in these three months, in addition to cultivating, Ye Tian is in a hurry, and sometimes he goes to the demonic beasts in the mountains and forests to learn martial arts.
After three months of tempering, Ye Tian's current martial arts cultivation is close to the Great Perfection of the Samurai, and there is only one opportunity left, and he may be able to break through.
Turning over a mountain, his eyes suddenly opened up, and when he looked ahead, he could still see a little fire and smoke in the distance!"I didn't expect there to be people in this barren mountain!" Ye Tian smiled, although there might be a small village in front of him, but Ye Tian didn't plan to go over.
"Hey, no, it's broad daylight, it's not a meal, it's so far away, you can actually see the fire, and the smoke doesn't seem to be cooking smoke from cooking! Instead, it's like smoke from a fire! It seems that something should be going on over there!" Ye Tian said darkly.
If it was an ordinary village, Ye Tian didn't plan to go over, but the firelight made Ye Tian feel curious, and he had a bad premonition, so Ye Tian still decided to take a look. Ye Tian quickly ran towards the village in the distance, and sure enough, after turning over a small hill again, a small village came into view.
The village is not very large, it is estimated that there are only a few dozen families. However, unlike the tranquility and tranquility of ordinary small mountain villages, the small mountain villages at this time can be described as miserable, most of the houses in the village have collapsed, and some are even still on fire, and there are miserable cries from time to time at those collapsed houses!
Ye Tian hurriedly walked towards the village, and when he got closer, Ye Tian found that the situation was even worse than he imagined, not only the houses were destroyed, but there were also many blood stains on the way into the village, which spread all the way to the village.
When Ye Tian arrived at the entrance of the village, several eight or nine-year-old children suddenly rushed out and stared at Ye Tian tightly. The immature face was full of dirt, full of uneasiness, the thin body was faintly trembling, and some of the eyes revealed a crazy hatred!
Looking at these children, Ye Tian also chuckled in his heart, and did not walk forward, but said in a tone as peaceful as possible: "Hello, I am a passerby who has just arrived here, and there is no malice. Is something going on here?"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, the children obviously seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and one of the little girls was about to speak, but was stopped by another obviously taller child: "Don't listen to him, maybe he is also with that group of robbers." When the little girl next to her heard this, her eyes were full of fear, and her body couldn't help but retreat!
Just as Ye Tian was about to continue talking, noisy voices came from the village!
"What? The bandits are here again!"
"This group of robbers has captured so many of us, aren't you unwilling, we fought with them!"
"Yes, fight with them!"
......
After a while, a group of villagers with hoes and sickles appeared at the entrance of the village! What puzzled Ye Tian was that this group of villagers were all old and weak women and children, not even a young man!
"Dogwa, where are the robbers!" a woman with a sickle in her hand looked at the tallest boy! The boy named Gouwa pointed at Ye Tian, who was standing at the entrance of the village.
"Eldest sister, I'm not a robber, I'm just a passer-by who just arrived here, I have no malicious intent, don't be afraid, can you tell me what happened here, maybe I can help a little!" Ye Tian smiled bitterly, and hurriedly defended, isn't it just that he has been in the mountains recently, and his face has darkened, where is he like a robber.
At this moment, an old man with gray hair walked out with the help of a little girl.
"Old village chief, be careful!
The old man, known as the old village chief, waved his hand and said, "Although I am old, my eyes have not yet spent, and I can still tell if this little brother in front of me is the group of robbers." ”
"Little brother, where are you from, and is there anything going on in our village?" the old man looked at Ye Tian and asked.
"Grandpa, I'm from Sunset City, and I saw that you guys are going on here, so I'm going to take a look. Have you been robbed by robbers here?" Ye Tian said. '
The old village chief nodded and beckoned to Ye Tian, who hurriedly followed. Walking into the village, Ye Tian found that the village was full of traces of being smashed, and many people had wounds on their bodies. Even the child had bruises on his body. This made Ye Tian's heart angry. "This group of robbers even killed children!"
After a while, Ye Tian followed the old village chief into a fairly intact house.
"Old village chief, what happened to you here, and why is the village full of women, children and old people, where have the rest gone!"
The old village chief sighed and didn't speak yet. The little girl next to her opened her mouth and said, "Brother, my father and the rest of the village have been captured by the bandits, brother, can you save them?" After speaking, she stared at Ye Tian with a pair of big eyes and looked at Ye Tian tightly.
Looking at this little girl, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart, and reached out and touched the little girl's head: "Don't worry, my brother will definitely help you bring your father back!
"Really, can the big brother really bring my dad and them back? Great, thank you, big brother, my name is Erya! That's what my dad and mother call me. Hearing Ye Tian's answer, Er Ya smiled happily.
"Second girl, nonsense, you go out first!" the old village chief glared at the second girl and said.
was glared at by the old village chief, and Erya's eyes suddenly filled with tears, "I'm sorry, big brother, I just want Daddy and them to come back......" Before he finished speaking, he ran out.
The old village chief stopped Ye Tian, who wanted to chase him out, sighed, and said slowly: "Erya, this girl, is kind-hearted and smart, but it's a pity that she was born in such a small village! Don't take what Erya said just now, I'll let someone get something later, and the little brother will leave here quickly after eating." ”
"Grandpa the village chief, what happened to you here, what happened to Erya's father who was captured by the bandits?" Looking at the hesitant village chief, Ye Tian said again: "Village chief grandpa, don't worry about me, I won't be reckless, my grandfather is the city lord of Sunset City, very powerful!"
"I don't know about Sunset City, the old man has always been in this mountain, but he can be the lord of a city, and he is a very powerful person. The old man will tell the son, and hope that the son can go back and tell the city lord about the matter here, and hope that the city lord will be kind and help us eradicate the group of bandits, the old man is grateful!" After speaking, the old village chief was about to kneel down to Ye Tian.
Seeing that the old village chief was about to kneel, Ye Tian was startled, and hurriedly supported the old village chief: "Grandpa the village chief, don't do this, just tell me about the matter, I will definitely let my grandfather send troops to exterminate the bandits here!"
"Okay, Childe is really a good person!
"There is a black wind village dozens of miles east of our village, there is a group of thieves in the village, and there are three village owners, the big village master is known as the black whirlwind, it is said that he is a strong martial artist, and the second village lord Gong Liangxiu, the third village master black bear is a strong martial artist, and there are many thieves in the warrior realm under his hands. ”
"This gang of bandits is rampant, and these villages near us have suffered greatly, but it was okay before, as long as we pay protection money regularly, give some food, and silver taels, although the amount is huge, we can still barely survive. ”
"Didn't you tell the government and let the government send troops to exterminate it?" Ye Tian wondered.
"How can it not be, Gongzi doesn't know, we also sent people to the city outside to ask for help from the government, although the government also sent people to encircle and suppress, but unfortunately every time the officers and soldiers came, the group of bandits drilled into the mountains and disappeared without a trace. And as soon as the officers and soldiers left, the group of bandits made a comeback, not only unscathed, but also frantically retaliated against us, and over time, no one dared to go to the city to report to the officials!"
