The members of the Three Wands team stayed at the entrance of the village and did not move, Bai Ya froze, Leo gasped heavily, Kura kept a calm face and did not speak, and Lan Ruo took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the entrance of the village, on several pillars, hung four corpses that were somewhat dry from the sun and wind, all of them were stripped of their clothes, and their skin was blackened from decay and dehydration.

Among the four corpses were a young man and a woman, a child of five or six years old, and an old man in his fifties and sixties, probably a family of four.

The child's body has a lot of water, so the child's body is especially deformed after losing water, and his whole face is wrinkled and sunken, and even so, you can see the frightened expression on his face when he died. The woman's breasts were shriveled and hung down like empty cloth bags, her muscles and skin were clinging to the bones, and she looked like a skeleton, and the child and the woman had no wounds on them, and they were probably tied to them to death of thirst or starvation.

The man and the old man had many stabs cut on their bodies, and they had bled to death before they died of thirst and starvation.

This kind of behavior can only be said to be a beast, but ...... Why didn't the people of the village save them, or even put them down after they died?

Lan Ruo's face sank like water, and with a wave of his hand, the alchemy arrays of the four air knives were projected out in turn, and the empty knives roared out, cutting through the hemp rope hanging from the four corpses, and the four corpses fell to the ground, stirring up a circle of dust.

Suddenly, Lan Ruo heard someone exclaiming, "Oh no! The corpse at the entrance of the village was put down! ”

Lan Ruoyi raised her eyebrows, vaguely understanding something.

Soon, dozens of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, and they looked at the four corpses on the ground, all of them a little frightened.

A middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks screamed angrily, "Who are you? Why put these corpses down! If this village is destroyed, you will be the one who will kill you, you murderers! ”

Lan Ruo asked indifferently, "What's going on?" ”

A peasant woman looked at Lan Ruo's extraordinary clothes, and said a little timidly: "A few people don't know, this family is because they resisted the thieves, so they were hung on the pillar, and those thieves said before they left, if they are put down, our whole village will not die well." ”

Leo's forehead swelled, and he said angrily, "They ended so miserably, and you still obey those thieves? ”

An old man with a wrinkled face stepped forward with a cane and said: "The only way to resist them is to die, if you don't resist them, you can still steal your life, they are already dead, and now letting them down is to make trouble for us, this is for the sake of our whole village, I don't know who you are, but please go quickly, we don't want to have any more branches." ”

Leo's face was a little red, as if he was about to explode in anger, he couldn't understand why these people were so indifferent, so hard-hearted, so insipid and indifferent to the death of their fellow villagers.

Kura said to Leo: "Don't be angry, there are very few people who will risk their lives to protect people's pride and dignity. ”

A young man whispered, "You outsiders will know about the situation in our village, and we didn't ask you to come." ”

Lan Ruo said loudly: "Wrong! ”

Everyone was shocked, and Lan Ruo continued: "We didn't come here for nothing, of course we came because someone asked us to come, who is it?" Stand up. ”

A young man walked out, his thin legs trembling slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "It's me...... I asked you to come, and the thieves snatched my sister away, and my mother was irritated and seriously ill, so ...... So I went to the county seat and told the official about our village...... Please, a few officials, bring my sister back, please......"

The middle-aged man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks slapped the young man on the head, knocked the young man to the ground, and scolded: "Do you want to die? Didn't they say that they were not allowed to report to the officials, and that the officials were slaughtering the villages? Have you forgotten, huh?! Don't drag us to death, you're left with you and an old woman who is dying, and there are still five people in my family! ”

The young man trembled, his face changed, and he hugged his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

The middle-aged man was still angry, and was about to raise his foot to kick the young man, Lan Ruo's middle finger flicked, and a fighting spirit hit the middle-aged man's knee, he screamed in pain, sat on the ground and hugged his knees and cried, it seemed that it hurt to the extreme.

The villagers were all shocked by Lan Ruo's hand, and they all took a few steps back, only the young man sat on the ground in a daze.

Lan Ruo took a deep breath and asked, "Aren't you from the same village, why did you watch these four people crying and dying?" Why ignore the teenager's sister and mother? You have lived together for so many years, going up to the mountains to chop firewood together, farming together, and visiting homes together, but in the end you are so indifferent, it is really chilling, are you really human? ”

The wrinkled old man was silent for a moment and said, "We are too weak to resist, and besides, we don't deserve to die more for the sake of the dead. ”

Lan Ruo sighed and said, "No matter what you think, this group of thieves will be expelled by us, you just have to wait here in peace and bury those corpses well." ”

The old man frowned, and the wrinkles on his face became even deeper: "No, you ...... If you can't beat them, they are as powerful and cruel as demons, and you will only die in vain, and you will anger them and destroy our village. ”

Lan Ruo sighed in his heart: What a group of terrible thieves, they completely destroyed the will of the villagers with their deaths, the day the family hung up, the more the shadow and fear in the hearts of the villagers became more and more ingrained, and in the end, these villagers did not dare to resist at all, and became the effort to be ruled by fear, and these thieves lowered their eyebrows, and they couldn't even raise the mind of resisting. The surrounding villages should have suffered from those thieves, but only one teenager dared to call for help.

The northern border seems to have become unimaginably chaotic......

Lan Ruo said indifferently to the old man in an unquestioning tone: "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm just announcing my decision to you, you can choose to resist me, I will use my fists to let you know who is stronger, me or those thieves." ”

The old man was stunned for a long time, and finally lowered his head.

Lan Ruo asked, "Where are they?" ”

The old man replied weakly, "In ...... In the forest more than ten miles to the northeast. ”

Lan Ruo turned his horse's head and said solemnly: "The three scepters group, now start the first task after the team, the thieves crusade." ”

Then Lan Ruo grabbed the horse's belly and galloped to the northeast, Leo and Bai Ya listened to what Lan Ruo said, felt their blood boiling, and also rode their horses to follow, Kula led the horse with Lan Ruo's sword on his back, followed slowly, and sighed lightly: "Captain, your sword is still here, you want to charge into battle, it's too hot-blooded." ”
