Chapter 752: Fleeing overnight
Hearing this, the sneer on Du Zihui's face became even stronger, a cultivator who was so young and at least in the Great Martial Master Realm would need the worship of a mountain village?
Immediately, I heard him say, "Uncle, what do you want to offer to your benefactor? What do you think we have in our village that we can offer to our benefactor?"
Two questions in a row, the old man seemed to have already thought about how to answer, and said: "We villagers can go up the mountain to pick elixir, we used to worship the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce, we can take out a part of the benefactor." ”
Du Zihui laughed sarcastically and said, "When you cultivate to the point of being a benefactor, will you fall in love with those elixirs of yours, it's really a joke, uncle, you take yourself too seriously, and you don't take cultivators too seriously." ”
When the old man heard such an unscrupulous ridicule, his face turned cold, and he said: "Du Zihui, what do you mean, do you think that he alone is stronger than the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce, the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce needs things, doesn't he need it." ”
Du Zihui looked at the old man with a pitiful look in his eyes, and said lightly: "Uncle, do you really think that the world of cultivators is so simple, the Red Willow Chamber of Commerce took the elixir from the village and sold it to those low-level cultivators, and the high-level cultivators don't need this kind of elixir, or uncle, you understand these things, and deliberately said this, just to let the village stay and face the anger of the Red Willow Chamber of Commerce." ”
"Nonsense, I've been in the village for so many years, I'm for the good of the village, how long have you been back, what do you know?" said the old man with a white face.
"I don't understand?" Du Zihui sneered, "I don't stay in the master's door, I heard that something happened in the village, I rushed back non-stop, and even broke with the master, if it wasn't for our village, I wouldn't be better off staying in the division than now, and it didn't matter to me whether the village lived or died at that time." ”
"Don't be demagogic here, in the past, it was the three old people in the village who had the final say, but now the other two elders are gone, the village should listen to me, put the gold and silver here with me, and wait for the people from the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce to come, give them the gold and silver, in exchange for the safety of the whole village, the villagers, go and clean up their houses! The old man shouted.
Du Zihui also said at this time: "Villagers, don't believe his words, we must leave here immediately, the people of the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce will come at any time, if you don't leave, when the people of the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce come, you can't leave if you want to." ”
There are indeed villagers who want to leave, worried that the people of the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce will come back, and there are no benefactors for them at that time.
But more villagers are reluctant to leave the village where they have lived all their lives, this time they are gone, they don't know what the future will be, and they believe the old man's words more in their hearts, after all, the old man has always spoken in the village, so they are more willing to believe the old man.
Du Zihui saw that more villagers were reluctant to leave, and his heart became anxious, knowing that if he didn't leave, the people from the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce would never be able to leave again, and he didn't believe that anyone from the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce would let them go.
Kill the people of the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce, those big chambers of commerce will never let go of the people of the village for the sake of face, for them, the face of the Chamber of Commerce is much more precious than the people of a small mountain village.
Seeing that more and more villagers were reluctant to leave, Du Zihui could only be anxious, but he knew that he could not be persuaded to move, and immediately saw the old man's smug expression, and he couldn't wait to kill the other party with one palm.
But he knew that he couldn't, and if he really wanted to kill the old man, I was afraid that the whole village would not listen to him and move away, and then the village would all die here because of him.
"Put away all the gold and silver on the ground and take it away, put it with me first, and when the people from the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce come, I will go and tell them in person, I believe that with these gold and silver offsets, the people of the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce will let our village go." The old man said triumphantly, and at the same time arranged for his son, the middle-aged man, to clean up the gold and silver left on the ground.
The middle-aged man walked up to Du Zihui, snatched the pocket, snorted coldly, walked to the gold and silver, and put all the gold and silver on the ground into the bag.
But because the weight was too heavy, one person couldn't lift it, so he found a younger person to carry it with the old man and left.
In the end, the villagers did not leave, and began to pack up a residence for the rest of the night, after all, almost all the surrounding houses were almost burned.
The old man led his children and grandchildren to rest a little farther away from the villagers, and the villagers didn't think much about it, after all, the old people in the village have always lived better than the villagers.
It soon darkened, and the villagers gathered in groups of three or five, ate a little food, and found a place to rest, and waited until dawn tomorrow to clean up the houses in the village.
Du Zihui stayed in the village to meditate and cultivate, while the villagers all found their own places to rest.
At night, the foot of the mountain is much cooler than other places, but fortunately it is June, and the weather is already hot, and some of the cooler ones are even cooler.
Daliang Mountain is a continuous mountain range, and at night it is quiet, and the sound of wild beasts cannot be heard, and even the cries of insects are difficult to hear.
This is the characteristic of Daliang Mountain, the beasts are all on the mountain, never come down the mountain, unless the villagers go up the mountain will encounter the attack of the beast.
In the middle of the night, it was quiet around the third watch, and Du Zihui, who was cultivating, had broken through the samurai realm, and his ears were much more sensitive than before.
About the fourth watch, Du Zihui, who was cultivating, suddenly heard a strange noise, and then saw that the old man's family, who was a little farther away from the villagers, all sat up.
"Dad, what time is it, it's getting dark, why are you calling me up so early?" spoke a middle-aged man who was carrying gold and silver in his pocket today.
"That's right, grandpa, what time is it, let me sleep for a while, it's still early." Another young man lay down again.
At this time, I heard the old man whisper: "You all be quiet, don't alarm the villagers." Also, come with me now, don't stay here, don't take anything, take the gold and silver, and go quickly. ”
The middle-aged man woke up suddenly, and then asked puzzledly: "Dad, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say that these gold and silver were given to the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce during the day, and it was used to protect the lives of the villagers in our village." ”
The old man scolded angrily in a low voice, and said: "What do you know, there is more than one person in the Hongliu Chamber of Commerce who died in our village, not to mention this bit of gold and silver, it is ten times more, and the people who killed our village are not still theirs, and those chambers of commerce regard face as more important than anything else, and the people in our village are not even as good as cattle in their eyes." ”
"Don't sleep, come with me. "The old man has a pull on the young man next to him.
The young man and the middle-aged man carefully lifted the bag of gold and silver, and the old man led the way, and the family began to walk outside the village.
At this time, the villagers were all asleep, and they had no idea that the old man's family had left the village with their gold and silver.
