Volume 2: A Thousand Miles of Escape Chapter 31: In the troubled times, the mountain village bullies the weak
For the second day in a row, the fathers and villagers of Liujia Village gathered at the gate of the village.
It's just that yesterday they were enthusiastic to welcome the warriors from other countries, but today, they all looked sad and depressed.
They all carried different amounts of grain and grass.
The bandit army in the mountains sent people early in the morning, saying that they would come back today to collect the food money for each month, and as long as they knew each other, they would obediently take things and wait at the entrance of the village.
Of course, the unarmed people did not dare to go to trouble this group of bandits, even if they were overwhelmed by the government over there, they had to listen to the bandits.
The old village chief at the head said in a low voice: "Alas, the warriors who came yesterday were here, although they expected people to rush into the mountains and old forests and serve the bandits in a pot. But at least press the array on the side, so that these bandits can be too aggressive. ”
The old man with the same gray hair next to him sighed helplessly, "Yes, it's a pity that Tiezhu said that they left yesterday." ”
"Well, I hope I can spend the day in peace. ”
"yes. ”
"I hope so. ”
Liu Tiezhu stood aside, speechless. He knew that there were even people in the village who blamed him behind his back, and finally a warrior came, saying that he would stay for a while, so that the bandits would be a little more jealous.
Although he hadn't read any books, he felt that this was very bad for Brother Liu.
I just lowered my head and looked at the grain and rice in the bag in my hand, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.
Tong'er is the time to grow his body, but the pots in this house are about to be opened......
The people of the village were worried, and not far away, the bandit team finally appeared, at the foot of the mountain.
It's time to come, and it's finally here.
......
"Your name is Liujia Village, and everyone is surnamed Liu?"
The leader looked exceptionally young, and the villagers had never seen him, with yellow hair, and he looked more like a street gangster.
Of course, the old village chief Liu didn't dare to slack off because of this, he was the one who could make the head of the hundreds of bandits, and at this moment he was full of flattering smiles, "Don't hide it from the adults, it's basically all." ”
The old village chief actually muttered in his heart, this usually only tens or hundreds of people die, but today it has multiplied several times?
He then smiled and asked, "I wonder why the adults have changed their days this month?"
Unexpectedly, his face changed color instantly, and he squinted at the old village chief, "What's the matter, is the village chief blaming me for coming to the wrong day?"
The village chief hurriedly shook his head in fear, he was still chatting casually before, he never thought that his face would change after such a while, and he was still an irritable and fickle character, which was really unlucky.
"The adults misunderstood, the old man was just afraid that he was not well prepared, and he neglected the adults and so many brothers......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party, "Okay, okay, the old thing is long-winded." The yellow-haired bandit looked impatient, "If you are really so afraid, it is just right, the brothers are tired of walking, so give our brothers a drink to drink." ”
The village chief himself can't drink a sip of wine for a year, and the warrior who entertained the Tiezhu family yesterday only took out a little, how can there be so much wine for hundreds of people to drink?
He could only plead with a look of embarrassment: "My lord, it's not that you are old and stingy, you just emptied the village, and you can't find so much wine." ”
The village chief's face was wrinkled together at the moment, and he was about to cry in the face of this ancestor, but unexpectedly, the bandit suddenly laughed.
The cynical face smiled weirdly, and patted the village chief on the shoulder, "Then or I'll really empty your village?"
When the village chief heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down in a 'poof', and his tone was almost full of crying, "My lord, haven't we already paid the grain in our village? Why do you want to rob it again, we can't even pay the taxes of the government, and everything we can give to you is given to you, my lord......."
What the village chief is most afraid of is that this thief suddenly has so many people, who want to plot against their village and enter the village to loot.
If he doesn't kneel, he doesn't have much food to get out.
The bandit leader let the village chief kneel, listening sideways to what a subordinate next to him said, and then he squatted down and looked at the village chief kneeling on the ground, I don't know when, there was an extra dagger in his hand, and he was holding it in his hand and rotating it at will.
"The food is counted, and there is not enough. ”
The village chief glared, his face full of disbelief, and pointed to the grain piled up over there, "My lord, every family of ours has calculated it, and it is impossible to have enough adults." ”
The bandit sneered, took the back of the dagger, and patted the village chief on the cheek in humiliation, "Hey, old man, you mean, I am sincerely looking for your trouble and wronged you?"
Seeing the bright blade sticking to his face, the village chief was frightened and shook his head again and again, "No, it's not, but my lord, there will be no mistake in the number......"
Before the village chief could finish speaking, the bandit kicked the village chief to the ground!
"Tell you less is less, Rory. ”
He raised his head, his face full of impatience, and a few prime of people in the village, seeing the old and frail village chief, not only knelt down and begged for mercy, but was also kicked over, and was angry and about to go up to theorize.
"Boom!"
More than a dozen bandits immediately drew their knives and pointed them straight at the unarmed villagers.
The village chief who was kicked over didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly got up again, stopping the angry middle-aged men, "Don't get excited, go back, and I'll talk to the adults again." ”
"No, there's nothing to say. The bandit leader swaggered and sat on the wooden stake at the entrance of the village, crossed Erlang's legs, and didn't bother to look at these villagers again, "It's almost enough to add two more stones of rice to each household, go quickly, and return here with food in an hour." ”
When the people heard this, they immediately blew up, this is still a period of time before the autumn harvest, and if you come to Ershi, many of their families are really going to be hungry!
The village chief now understands that these bandits are probably showing their power to bully others, and it doesn't matter whether the amount they give is accurate or not, they just want to forcibly ask them for more here.
But he knew exactly what was going on in the village, even if he was kicked, he could only bite the bullet, and then turned back to the bandit and said: "My lord, we really can't take out two stones per family, see if you can be a little tolerant......
The village chief's voice stopped abruptly.
The bandit leader actually stood up, and Huo Ran kicked the village chief!
The old village chief, who is nearly seventy years old, can withstand such a kick, and the villagers who are close to him can even hear the muffled sound of the village chief's already fragile bones.
For the sake of the villagers, he dared to fight against the bandits, and he fell to the ground and became unconscious.
The bandit stepped forward scoldingly, "Fuck, needless to say, what kind of bullshit are you expecting me to discuss respecting the old and loving the young with you?"
Seeing the village chief being kicked unconscious, the nearby villagers all showed their anger in front of him, this thief punched the old man without saying anything, and intensified the exploitation of them, it was too deceitful!
"Grandpa!"
A child who looked about the same age as Liu Tong saw the village chief being kicked to the ground, and rushed out despite the obstruction of others.
"You big thief! Why did you beat my grandfather!"
That child was the grandson of the village chief, Liu Tong's friend, Qiangzi. At this moment, his little face was flushed with anger, and he was holding a wooden stick that he didn't know where to pick up, pointing at the arrogant and domineering yellow-haired bandit.
The bandit suddenly became interested when he saw it, "Little baby, why are you not convinced? Is this going to be a trick with me?" and pointed to the unknown child, and the subordinates around him burst into sarcastic laughter.
Although Qiangzi's father was also grief-stricken, he also hurried forward to take his son back.
Unexpectedly, the strong son suddenly came to the fierceness, struggling desperately, and shouting at the bandit leader, "Come on, come! I'm not afraid of you, a bastard who can only bully the elderly!"
Seeing the bandit leader standing up, Qiangzi's father hurriedly protected his son behind him, "My lord, my son is young and ignorant, and he is all unintentional......"
The bandit leader was not afraid of the eyes of the villagers, so he pushed the father who was protecting his son away, squatted in front of Qiangzi with a cruel smile, and pointed to the father of the village chief who fell to the ground next to him, "The little doll is quite backbone, but it's a pity that your father shouldn't have taught you, in the face of a martial artist, being a bird like you as a leader, but it won't end well." ”
This person is actually a martial artist!?
The enraged villagers were all surprised to hear the warrior.
has been faced by hundreds of bandits, and now the bandit led by this is a warrior, and the cruel reality is undoubtedly not reminding them.
There was no choice but to hand over the grain.
With their limited knowledge of martial artists, they all know that the old and young guys in their whole village are desperate, and they are afraid that they can't beat this martial artist alone, let alone the hundreds of bandits with sharp weapons behind him.
Even the strong son who was still angry just now was shocked by the word warrior.
The bandit leader looked at the dejected appearance of the villagers around him, and the proud expression on his face was overflowing, and he looked extremely useful.
"My lord, then we will go and find food, and I hope that your lord will wait for a while. ”
The bandit turned his head and found a man in the prime of life coming over, and without a sound, he stood between Qiangzi and him, separating the two.
The bandit leader was thinking about solving the matter as soon as possible, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, educate children this kind of thing, you can do it yourself, remember to hurry up, your time is very precious." ”
It was Liu Tiezhu's man who hurriedly took away the frightened Qiangzi, and beckoned a group of villagers to hurry up and raise as much food as possible.
Tong'er on one side trembled and pulled the corner of his father's clothes.
"Dad, bring some more food, will these people let us go?"
He crouched down and picked up his son, "Well, it's going to be fine." ”
Yes.
He looked back at the disapproving bandit and clenched his fists secretly.
Compared to Brother Cheng, how can such a person be embarrassed to be called a martial artist!
I'm afraid I'll ...... later.
