Chapter 233: Mountain bandits enter the village
After simply eating snacks, the Orion brothers took Zhang Yang on the road back to their hometown. There was no danger along the way, but the closer they got to the village, the more restless the Orion brothers became.
Zhang Yang was puzzled, so he asked:
"Brother, what's wrong with you? I don't think you're in the right state!"
The Orion brothers also found it strange, and a kim:
"I don't know, I just feel inexplicably irritable, but this shouldn't be, although I didn't hunt, but this harvest is more than ever, we should be happy!"
The other frowned:
"I always feel like something is wrong at home......"
Hearing this, Zhang Yang knew that nine out of nine words were going to come true. This kind of situation can happen on Earth, let alone in a cultivation civilization.
After all, even ordinary mortals in this world are always immersed in the air full of spiritual energy, and their bodies and souls have long surpassed those of real mortals.
"Then hurry up and go back early, and if something happens, I can help. Zhang Yang said.
The two looked at each other, and then ran, and Zhang Yang followed them closely.
......
Shanhou Village, this is a mountain village that no one knows about when you get to a hundred miles away. Although this village covers a large area, it is only because I think that the world is generally large...... Not diluted.
Most of the people in Yamahoga Village make a living from hunting, with men being hunters and women and children being the best tanners. The leather made will be eaten and drunk by the occasional passer-by.
As for money, it doesn't mean much to them.
However, the originally peaceful mountain village experienced a farce in the early hours of the morning.
A few of the people who had gone out hunting ran back, almost crazy, and everyone was extremely tired and sweating profusely, and it looked like they had been running all the way back without stopping.
The men came back and began shouting:
"There are ghosts, there are ghosts, the brothers of the old poplar family have been caught by ghosts!"
The men tossed for a long time, and the whole village was shouted, and then a chaotic argument began. In these few mouths, the brothers of the "old poplar family" had died and died in the belly of the ghost, so they fled for their lives in a panic.
This made several members of the old poplar family immediately cry bitterly. Then, the whole village worked together to help prepare the things for the funeral, but fortunately, this mountain village is relatively closed, and there are no too complicated rules in terms of funerals.
But just as the light was bright and the villagers were about to go together to find the bones of the dead and come back for burial, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the village.
It didn't take long for a soldier of more than fifty men to break into the village.
Of the more than 50 people, each of them was dressed in brightly designed clothes, and they were all wearing armor, and they carried swords behind their backs, and they immediately hung bows, which was very imposing.
The leader was a one-eyed man, who sat upright on his horse with a cold face:
"Riders, I finally found this village, but as soon as I came in, I was dejected!
As soon as Dahan shouted, soldiers immediately dismounted and ran over, and began to throw away all the funeral supplies held by the villagers, and drove the frightened villagers to Dahan.
The one-eyed man sneered, and then said loudly:
"Listen, we are the people of the Iron Rope Cliff hundreds of miles away, and our village mainly recruits troops and horses, but there is not enough food, so you people who are under the protection of my Iron Rope Cliff should provide enough food, do you understand!"
It's not that the people haven't seen bandits, and in previous years, they occasionally encountered wicked people entering the village to rob things, but people robbed and robbed, never talking nonsense, for this kind of bandits who have found a reason, they really haven't seen it.
"Great, my lord, we, we don't have either, we don't have shelter......" In the crowd, the old village chief said tremblingly.
"What are you?" Dahan was not in a hurry, but just asked.
The old village chief thought that this group of people could be reasonable, so he said:
"My lord, our village has not been sheltered, in previous years, there were always wicked people to rob it, and you have never been here, my lord......"
The big man nodded heavily, and then took out a short knife from his lower waist, and then he shook his hand and threw the short knife, directly penetrating Lao Rao's heart.
At that moment, the old village chief screamed in pain, and then fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
The villagers retreated in horror, but were immediately frightened by the soldiers.
The one-eyed man smiled and said:
"Did you see that?"
The villagers were terrified and didn't know how to react, but Dahan asked again, this time in a louder voice and a more fierce tone:
"Me, did you see that?!"
The villagers shook their heads in fear, thinking that they hadn't seen it, that nothing had happened, and that the wicked would let them go.
But Dahan was not satisfied with their reaction, and asked:
"Ask again, you, the horse-steppers, have you seen it!"
This time, the villagers began to nod their heads heartily, nodding and looking at the soldiers around them attentively, for fear that they would suddenly start killing people.
The one-eyed man laughed:
"By the way, it's right to see it! You see, I killed him, I didn't kill you, so I sheltered you! I am a person from the Rope Cliff, so I sheltered you, that is, the Rope Cliff sheltered you! Let you confess, should I not!?"
The brilliant idea immediately caused the soldiers to snicker, but the big man didn't care, he just glared at the villagers with his only eye.
Although the villagers don't have much knowledge, they can also see that this guy is arguing with words. But they have no power to resist, they can only nod their heads, and can only choose to admit their lives:
"Yes, it should be on the ......"
"Yes, we will make offerings, we will offer ......"
"Your Excellency, let us go, we will make offerings, and you will cooperate with whatever you want..."
The frightened expression of the villagers pleased the one-eyed man, and he laughed out loud, and after laughing for a while, he said:
"Okay, then you go back and take out all the food in your house, if anyone dares to hide his secrets, then he is not worthy of my protection! Don't try to cheat, I will let my men go down to check from house to house! Go quickly!"
The villagers who did not have any capital to resist could only admit it, after all, Orion was just Orion, and it was impossible for the "five copies" in their hands to beat these mountain bandit generals in armor.
Rather than resisting and killing, it's better to be honest and wait for the bandits to leave before going back hunting.
Unfortunately, although most people think this way, there are always people who are unwilling to give away all the food they have worked so hard to get.
For example, the old poplar house.
Two hunting children had just died, and there were only two women, two children and an old man left in the house, and if they really took out all the food, it was almost certain that they would not be able to survive at all.
So, the old man secretly hid a few pieces of jerky and put them in the stove pit, thinking that this would avoid the inspection later, but in the end they turned it out.
"Hang that old man up for me, Lao Tzu understands so well and dares to play tricks, if you don't shave you, I'm sorry for your cheap hand!" the one-eyed man ordered viciously.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from a distance:
"I see who dares!"
