Chapter 11: Buying Life Money

At the same time, He Lou's house continued to mourn, and the cry of grief spread from the lobby to the door. In the middle of the lobby, there is a fine coffin, tightly sealed, faintly, and a trace of rancid smell can be smelled.

In front of the coffin, He Lou's family went up to the beautiful wife and concubine, down to the servants of the family, all dressed in linen and filial piety, and howled on the ground with a little real and a little fake.

The head of the He Lou family stood in front of the coffin, his face gloomy, and the hatred in his eyes was monstrous. I saw him slowly raise his hand, gently caress the coffin, and whispered in his mouth, "Son, don't worry, I will definitely take all the heads of those thieves in Qingfeng Village and bury them for you!" ”

About in the evening, several mysterious strong men swaggered into He Lou's house.

The head of the He Lou family took those people to the study and talked for half an hour. Soon after those people came out, they took a few large boxes and packed the gold and silver treasures of the He Lou family into them one by one, and took them away without saying a word.

One of the beautiful concubines of the patriarch of He Lou watched the jewelry in the box being taken away continuously, and her eyes were greedy. After enduring it for a long time, he still couldn't help but ask, "Family master, these treasures are half of the He Lou family's property." Just let these people take away? ”

The patriarch of He Lou pushed away the beautiful concubine who was tired of being crooked into his arms, and scolded with thin anger in his eyes, "What do you know about a woman's family, these things are money to buy lives!" ”

The patriarch of He Lou looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that had been carried away in the lobby, and his eyes gradually deepened.

If the people of Qingfeng Village dare to kill his only son, they must pay the price! Not to mention half of the family wealth, as long as he can make Qingfeng Village pay the price, even if he puts all the family wealth into it, he will not hesitate to do it!

After leaving Xicheng, Zhang Yu's servant Ruan Ning and Longbow rushed towards the direction of Qingfeng Village in Broken Soul Mountain for a moment, and they didn't stop at any time along the way except to stop to drink saliva and eat some dry food.

Five days later, the three of them finally arrived at the boundary of Qingfeng Village.

"What's wrong with you bosses?" Zhang Yufu, who was leaning on the back of a horse and drinking water, looked at Ruan Ning, who had been calm since he entered the Qingfeng Village realm, and asked the expressionless longbow on the side softly.

Longbow swallowed a piece of dry food in his mouth, and looked up at the surroundings, and his eyes were more solemn. Seeing that Zhang Yufu was still looking at him, he lowered his voice and said, "Something is wrong here." ”

Zhang Yufu looked around and said, "The wind is calm, there are no wild beasts, and there are no ambushes, what's wrong?" ”

Longbow put down the unfinished half of the dry food and said, "This is the boundary of Qingfeng Village, at this time, it shouldn't be so quiet." ”

Zhang Yufu was stunned, and wanted to ask something, so he saw Ruan Ning on the side turn over and get on the horse, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, go back first." ”

Seeing that Ruan Ning's expression was wrong, Zhang Yufu stopped laughing, and hit his heel on the horse's belly, so he galloped to catch up with Ruan Ning and Longbow.

After another day's work, Zhang Yufu followed Ruan Ning and Longbow to an extremely steep canyon.

Looking at the canyon that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ruan Ning drank some water, moistened his throat, and said, "Ten miles ahead, there is Qingfeng Village." ”

The three of them hurried through the canyon, and in a short time they came across a sandcastle.

The location of Qingfeng Village is not hidden, but the surrounding terrain occupies a "risk" word. Ahead is blocked by a steep canyon, and there are several wind-eroded forests to the left and right. The most important thing is that Qingfeng Village was built on top of an abandoned city, and although many of the defenses at the city gate are unusable, the rest are not comparable to ordinary villages.

The people who were patrolling the high ground in front of the gate saw Ruan Ning dressed in red from a distance, and immediately shouted excitedly, "The big boss, it's the big boss who is back!" ”

With the shouts of the patrolling man, the gate of the fortress was slowly opened from the inside.

Ruan Ning and the three of them drove their horses into the village, and as soon as they got off the horse, they saw Shilang coming over with an irritable face.

Raising his eyes and looking at Zhang Yu's servant who came back with Ruan Ning's longbow, Shilang nodded slightly, as if he said hello, and then said to Ruan Ning with excitement, "Big boss, you really kidnapped people back." ”

Ruan Ning laughed loudly and said, "I will go out in person, how can I not do it!" ”

After that, she turned to look at Zhang Yufu again and said, "Let's go, take you to get to know the big guy." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yufu raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and followed behind several people.

Passing through the long street directly opposite the gate of the village, until you reach the end, it is the meeting hall of Qingfeng Village.

In the council hall, several people that Zhang Yufu had seen before near the water source in Broken Soul Mountain were there.

Seeing his appearance, those people were a little surprised, but no one said anything. After all, when he got rid of Zhao Shizhu's pursuers, his ability was obvious to everyone.

"Dad, it's the kid who helped us get rid of that dog official last time." A female voice came from the front left of the chamber.

Zhang Yufu raised her eyes and saw a little girl about fifteen years old talking to the middle-aged man beside her.

The middle-aged man looked about the same age as Shiro, thirty-five or sixteen, and his eyes were not focused, so he couldn't see them.

"That's a blind gun, good at tactics, although I can't see it, but my mind is very thoughtful. Next to him were her daughter's eyes, the eyes of a blind gun. Seeing that Zhang Yufu looked over, Ruan Ning said something to introduce.

Pointing to another thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man beside the blind gun, she continued, "This is Thunder Fire, the Thunder Fire Bullet we used last time was researched by him. Sitting opposite the thunder fire is Liancheng. Don't look at him and Longbow don't like to talk much, but light skills are first-class......"

After introducing the rest of the people to Zhang Yufu, Ruan Ning walked to the main seat and sat down, and asked, "But what happened?" ”

Hearing this, Shilang took out three prayer stickers from his arms and put them in front of Ruan Ning, and said, "I don't know what kind of wind those grandsons of Mahei Village Huwei Village and Lone Eagle Village are smoking, and they suddenly seem to have agreed to worship the old master." ”

Ruan Ning put the short knife he had just taken off from his waist on the table and asked, "Worship my father?" What else do they say? ”

Juro's eyes glanced at the post and said, "The person who came to deliver the message didn't say anything, and the post only said to come to worship." Big boss, what do you think about this? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes in the council hall looked towards Ruan Ning.

Ruan Ning flipped through the posts handed over by Shilang one by one, and after reading them, he threw them on the table casually, and said with a smile, "In a few days, it will indeed be my father's sacrifice day, they want to come to worship, let them come." ”

Hearing this, Shiro, who was a little short-tempered, frowned and asked, "Just let them come like this?" In case they are uneasy and kind......"

Ruan Ning smiled and said, "No matter what, they came to worship my father, and I, as a girl, can't refuse." ”

After thinking for a while, she said, "Send someone to send them a post, just say thank them for remembering my father's sacrifice day, and three days later, Qingfeng Village will hold a banquet and invite them to come together." ”

Shiro hesitated a little, but it could be seen that several people around him did not object, so he turned around and went out to arrange for someone to deliver the post.

After Shilang left, the others also left, leaving only Ruan Ning and Zhang Yufu.

Ruan Ning stood up, looked at Zhang Yufu, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to your residence to have a look, and by the way, I'll introduce you to our Qingfeng Village." ”

With that, Ruan Ning raised his feet and walked out.

Out of the conference hall, Ruan Ning stood at the door and introduced to Zhang Yufu, "This was originally an abandoned empty city, but later it was reorganized by several ancestors, and many people who came to the desert to beg for a living were taken in, and gradually it became Qingfeng Village. This chamber is said to have been the residence of a general......"

After walking about a few dozen meters forward, Ruan Ning took Zhang Yufu around the corner and walked towards another street.

As soon as he entered the street, Zhang Yufu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In front of him was a long street full of fireworks, restaurants selling food, vendors selling snacks and knick-knacks, and children and women coming and going......

Seeing Zhang Yufu's surprised appearance, Ruan Ning laughed out loud and said, "Why, do you think that our Qingfeng Village is really the kind of murderous bandit den in the legend!" ”

"Sister Ruan Ning is back, this is the sugar gourd that A-Niang just bought for me, it's sweet, you can taste it!" When a five or six-year-old child saw Ruan Ning, who was dressed in red, he ran over with bright eyes, and when he got closer, he raised the sugar gourd in his hand that had been sun-burned, squinted his eyes and shouted.

The child had an innocent smile on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest fear of Ruan Ning, the leader of the sand bandits.

Ruan Ning squatted down, opened his mouth and took a bite in the child's eager eyes. As he munched on it, he said to the boy with some slurred words, "It's so sweet." ”

In just two words, the child seemed to have received a great compliment, holding the remaining half of the sugar gourd, and ran away with happy eyes.

Seeing that Ruan Ning's eyes were about to be unable to open by the sugar gourd acid, Zhang Yufu couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Even children are cheated, you can really do it!" ”

Ruan Ning swallowed all the sugar gourds in his mouth, looked at Zhang Yufu with a serious face, and said, "These people came here because they couldn't survive. The child you just saw, named Xiaohu, was just able to walk when he was brought by his aunt. For him, where has he ever tasted the real sweetness......"

Hearing this, Zhang Yufu's thoughts gradually drifted away.

At the border of Youzhou, there was also a place where the people there were similar to the people on the long street of Qingfeng Village, who were unwilling to participate in the war between the borders, so they found a secluded place to live in seclusion.

Those men toiled during the day, searching for food on the desert full of yellow sand. At night, they sang and danced around the bonfire.

However, the war was still quietly approaching after all.

That night three years ago, screams, blood, killings, corpses, ...... Those laughter and laughter are completely gone. Every time he dreamed back at midnight, what appeared in his ears was a howl and cry that he would never forget for three years.

"Hey, what do you want?" Ruan Ning's voice came, making Zhang Yufu gradually come back to his senses.

Looking at the doubts in her eyes, Zhang Yufu raised her eyes to look at the lively long street in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "If one day, the war spreads here, what are you going to do?" ”

Ruan Ning fell silent, looked at the smiling faces on the long street, pursed his lips, and said, "Now that the Turks are restless, the peace of this desert will be destroyed sooner or later. What we can do now is to save everything we have before the war spreads. If so......"
