Chapter 239: Trouble Everywhere
This night, Ye Xiaobai and Tian Hu got drunk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ye Xiaobai wanted to get drunk, so he was drunk. He had a beautiful dream, in which he returned to the village and reunited with the people in the village to live together. Dreams are long, they seem to be days, they seem to be decades, and better yet, they are like a lifetime.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Xiaobai woke up, Tian Hu's figure was missing from the wine table, and the sound of chopping wood came from the small courtyard. The crackling sound of Chai He breaking in half was endless. This kind of sound made Ye Xiaobai enjoy it very much, and after walking out of the house, he didn't say anything, searched with his divine sense, got up and took out an axe in a hut.
Tian Hu was slightly surprised when he saw that Ye Xiaobai had found the axe at once, but it was just Ye Xiaobai's luck. Seeing Ye Xiaobai beside him, he started chopping firewood without saying anything, Tian Hu just glanced at it and didn't care about anything. The two of them were chopping firewood in the small courtyard, no one spoke, and the one-person-high firewood stack soon bottomed out. Ye Xiaobai's chopping wood was several times faster than Tian Hu's, which directly shocked Tian Hu.
"I didn't expect that Little Brother Ye had the weak body of a scholar, and he was not slower than a rough man like me at all when he did hard work, no, no, he was so much faster than a rough man like me!"
Ye Xiaobai touched his nose and smiled, "It's not a secret, I grew up in the mountains when I was a child, and I didn't do much hard work. ”
Tian Hu patted Ye Xiaobai's shoulder, looked up at the sun, it was already noon, the sun hung in the sky, and a little sweat appeared on his bronzed skin, reflecting a little light in the sun.
"Little Brother Ye, I don't know when you plan to go on the road again?"
Ye Xiaobai hesitated, "I plan to bother here a little more, and then leave later." ”
Tian Hu's eyes also flashed a trace of hesitation, and then he spoke, "Since the little brother wants to stay, I can't refuse, but little brother Ye should not go outside the existence during this time, someone will come to collect this month's asylum fee in the next few days, if little brother Ye is shown by them, he will definitely be forcibly taken away from his finances." ”
Ye Xiaobai's eyes clearly revealed surprise, he couldn't imagine that there were people in this kind of place who charged something like a protection fee, and it was mandatory.
Ye Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand at Tian Hu, "I know, I know, I won't go out and walk around." ”
After agreeing to Tian Hu, Ye Xiaobai really didn't wander outside the village, and he didn't even leave this small courtyard, but sat cross-legged in the house and cultivated. Although the aura of this world is thin, it is not impossible to cultivate, and Ye Xiaobai has brought a lot of spirit stones with him, which is enough for him to cultivate.
The sun gradually shifted, and the sun began to set again. Ye Xiaobai opened his eyes and walked to the small courtyard to take a look. The sunset is red, just like the remnant sun, very dazzling.
"The remnant sun is like blood, when it brings a beautiful scenery, how much sorrow does it bring?" Ye Xiaobai's eyes gradually gave birth to a sadness. "Someone is coming. ”
Ye Xiaobai hid the sadness in his eyes and returned to his indifferent appearance, and his scholarly anger was very obvious.
"It's not Tian Hu, what are they doing?"
Ye Xiaobai put one hand behind his back and one hand on his chest, silently staring at the gate of this small courtyard. After a while, there was a creak, and the door opened, and several youngsters in gorgeous clothes poured in from outside.
The corners of Ye Xiaobai's mouth showed an imperceptible smile, these people actually had a faint aura on their bodies, although they didn't even step into the threshold of qi refining, but they could already be regarded as first-class masters in the world.
"I don't know what a few nobles are doing?" Ye Xiaobai smiled slightly, his face was peaceful, and he spoke lightly.
The young men glanced at Ye Xiaobai and looked around the small courtyard, "Who are you?"
Ye Xiaobai touched his nose, "I am a tenant in Brother Tian's house, and Brother Tian has not come back from going out to farm." ”
"Didn't come back. The blue-clothed young man said this in a weird way, and then swaggered towards Ye Xiaobai, and when he came to Ye Xiaobai's side, he paused and looked carefully.
"Since Tian Hu is not here, then a few of us will wait here for a while, this guy pays the money every year quite neatly, unlike the old lady outside the village, grinding and chirping, and the uncle has to do it himself. ”
When Ye Xiaobai heard these words, he immediately understood the identities of these people. But at the same time, there was also a trace of displeasure in my heart, listening to the words, these people seemed to have forcibly taken something away from the old man's house when he first entered the village.
"Big brother, it is said that the old lady was really poor enough at home, and she can't pay the money next time, so she just take her little girl away. ”
The blue-clothed young man paused, and suddenly turned his head to look at the young man who spoke, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, are we the kind of robbers? What is the difference between that and robbers? ”
As he spoke, these young people invariably laughed lewdly, and the laughter echoed in the small courtyard, giving rise to indescribable disgust in Ye Xiaobai's heart. Although he really wanted to kill these guys now, Ye Xiaobai still held back. This is Tian Hu's home, and if he kills these people here, it will inevitably lead to the forces behind him, and then it will not be the situation he wants to see if Tian Hu and even the entire village will be affected.
"I'm not going to stay here for long, so I can't protect them. Ye Xiaobai was still counting in his heart, these people had already walked into the room as if they were in their own home, and several of them also ran to the kitchen to find the leftover meals of Ye Xiaobai and Tian Hu, and rummaged through the cabinets to find two large jars of wine, so they ignored Ye Xiaobai and got high.
Ye Xiaobai doesn't care about them, as long as nothing big happens, he doesn't want to care, once he intervenes, things may change their taste. After finding another quiet room, Ye Xiaobai sat down cross-legged and silently began to vomit.
The moon slowly rose from the east, and Tian Hu finally returned. Ye Xiaobai observed the situation with his divine sense, and stayed in the house without going out. Tian Hu made some hot dishes for those people very respectfully, and then walked to a hut and took out a lot of money and handed it to a few young people. Ye Xiaobai could see from Tian Hu's expression that he was actually unwilling to pay the money, but the other party was powerful.
After having eaten and drunk, the group of young people walked towards the gate of the small courtyard step by step with somewhat dizzy steps. Tian Hu is the last one they collected, and after enjoying it, it's time to go back. At this time, the leading young man seemed to have thought of something, and actually walked towards the room where Ye Xiaobai was.
Ye Xiaobai opened his eyes, with a hint of doubt between his eyebrows. The door was opened, and Ye Xiaobai stood up. The young man pointed at Ye Xiaobai and said, "Boy, what about the fees you paid? Don't say that you just pass by and don't need to pay the fees, otherwise the brothers will let you know why the flowers are so red." ”
Tian Hu stood behind these young men, his facial muscles were a little stiff, and it could be seen that he was very nervous now. Until Ye Xiaobai smiled slightly, and took out a very exquisite short dagger from his waist.
"Uncles, I really don't have any money on me, this is something for self-defense, or I'll hand this in. ”
The young man looked at Ye Xiaobai suspiciously, ready to refuse, but another young man behind him immediately stopped, "Head, the dagger is inlaid with gems." ”
The voice was very small, but it all fell into Ye Xiaobai's ears without a word. Ye Xiaobai really didn't have any money on his body, so he couldn't take out the spirit stone that was common to monks. These turtles who have never seen the world are estimated to treat spirit stones as ordinary stones. As for this dagger, this is the most gorgeous of all Ye Xiaobai's magic weapons, and it is also the weakest one, and it is a decoration in the hands of the monk, so he basically can't use it, so he simply took it out.
The young man took the dagger, and a string of crystal liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth, Ye Xiaobai was no longer on the list, and the dagger for orphans was already the property of the four of their brothers.
"Now, it's down. ”
Several young people left Tian Hu's house, Ye Xiaobai did not move, and Tian Hu watched a few people disappear before returning.
"Little Brother Ye, then, that dagger is very valuable! I didn't expect them to come to the house, and I didn't expect that guy to think of you before leaving, I see that the dagger is inlaid with gems and all of them are so big, I, I really can't come up with anything that can cancel them all." ”
The corners of Ye Xiaobai's mouth curled, and he waved his hand gently, "It's okay, that thing is not worth a few dollars, and it can only be used as a dagger in their hands." ”
Tian Hu was stunned for a moment, listening to Ye Xiaobai's words, this dagger is not a simple dagger, so he can't afford to pay for it.
"Brother Tian, why are you blaming yourself so much, all of this is cause and effect, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Ye Xiaobai smiled and laughed with Tian Hu, and suddenly, his face changed. The cultivation of the Jindan period has made his hearing reach a terrifying level, and faintly, he heard a cry for help, it seems, it is the old lady and the two in the village.
"Look for death. Ye Xiaobai whispered, his eyes narrowed slightly, and walked quickly towards the outside of the small courtyard.
Tian Hu was blindfolded for a while, "Brother Xiaobai, eh, Brother Xiaobai, where are you going?"
When Tian Hu chased to the door, he realized that Ye Xiaobai had disappeared, "Why did you run so fast?"
While scratching his head, Tian Hu stood outside the door and looked around.
On the other side, Ye Xiaobai's figure was like a ghost, and it didn't take long for him to appear at the entrance of the village, and the courtyard gate of the old lady's house was really wide open.
"Look for death. Ye Xiaobai's figure flashed and rushed in, the old lady fell to the ground and kept moaning, and the girl who had not met in person was forced into a corner by several young people.
