Chapter 120: The Murder of the Sea Bandits
"Childe, it's just to drink some tea to quench your thirst, how can you use so much silver?"
Uncle Li was extremely surprised when he saw the five taels of silver on the table, he didn't expect them to be so generous.
Wen Xuan replied with a smile: "Although the tea is not valuable, the old man's warm-hearted heart and those vegetable cakes are worth this silver, so you can accept it." After that, he still did not leave the table, and continued to sit on the table and drink tea.
"Then the old decay is disrespectful." Uncle Li smiled from ear to ear, and carefully carried the silver into his arms.
After adding some hot water to Wen Xuan's teapot, he leaned back in his old place, squinting his eyes and humming a widely circulated song Xiaoling:
Born in the world, it is unrighteous to stop doing wrong, and it is not possible to insult people and the will of heaven.
He will get some things and some food and clothing, and he will always be tired of his children and grandchildren, and his duty is the first in the world.
Hugh makes insights, and the plan is even worse!
……
The excitement brought by the caravan was only a flash in the pan, and it didn't take long for Wanhe Village to regain its serenity and tranquility.
The shopkeeper who had learned the lesson leaned in front of the doorpost of the inn and rubbed his swollen and sore face repeatedly, staring at Uncle Li with a pair of rat eyes full of anger, jealous of his luck.
Time flies by in quiet times, and as the afterglow of the setting sun quietly smears the tiles on the houses into golden yellow, smoke gradually rises in the courtyards of each house.
The villagers did not notice that many frightened birds began to fly out of the col to the west of the village, and the sound of footsteps in the woods east of the village was drowned out by the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
Only Wen Xuan knew that this was about to pass the unitary time.
"Uncle, let's close the stall earlier today." Wen Xuan reminded softly.
Uncle Li smiled solemnly, "Cheng, listen to the son!" ”
Wen Xuan also stood up to help Uncle Li move the tables and chairs, and he had the right to move his muscles for the upcoming vicious war activities.
During the work chat, the two talked about Uncle Li's family affairs.
"Why don't you see your old sons and daughters?"
"The village has been gone since the last time it was ransacked by pirates."
"Then why didn't you come along?"
"Well, the children are actually quite filial, but I don't want to move the nest, my old woman's ashes were scattered in the sea by me, and I stayed to go to the beach to talk to her often."
Wen Xuan nodded silently, and after packing up the things at the tea stall, he sent Lao Su to his home.
Before leaving, Wen Xuan said solemnly: "Uncle, you can bolt the door after I leave, there may be some movement outside tonight, you just sleep peacefully, no matter what sound you hear, don't come out." ”
Although Uncle Wen was confused for a while, he still nodded in agreement, and went back to the house to plug in the latch.
Wen Xuan sat on the threshold of the inn in a daze alone, and Xiao Er, who had been robbed of a good position, naturally didn't dare to say much, and glanced at Wen Xuan with a shrunken glance and went into the store to get busy.
When the last trace of the sunset is swallowed up by the vast sea level, the night finally begins to lower the curtain, enveloping the world little by little.
The smoke dissipates, the chickens and ducks enter the circle, and the time is approaching.
After dinner and filling his stomach, the watchman came out of his house and walked around the village lanes a few times, then cleared his throat and shouted in a long tone: "When the time comes, the weather is dry, be careful of the candles!" ”
Usually the door is usually answered by the door of each house, but today it is different.
There was a long, high-pitched humming sound in the air, and an arrow landed at the groom's feet.
This arrow is not wood or iron, it is made of copper, composed of a blade and a collar, one side is made into a ridge, so as not to be concave in the arc, and the cross-section of the arrow collar is circular as a whole.
The husband didn't react after hearing this special sound, and only after squatting down and seeing the appearance of the arrow clearly did his face change suddenly, and his hand kept beating the bangzi hard, and ran wildly along the alleyway.
"It's Mingdi! There's a pirate coming, a pirate is coming! ”
"Run! The pirates are here again! ”
Mingdi? It seems that this thing is a warning arrow in wartime......
Wen Xuan curiously glanced at this strange thing to him, and walked out of the inn quickly, hiding in a remote corner of the village.
As soon as the husband's shouts began, an overwhelming shout of killing came from the east of the village.
The Jiang Yang thief led by Jiang Yang carried a big axe on his shoulder, the scars on his face were slightly terrifying, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of arrogance, and after rushing into the village, he waved his hand and ordered with a cruel smile: "Give it to me!" Except for the caravan, the rest of the grabbing is up to you! ”
It seems that this is the well-known Cai Chaotou, and his face is a billet who is a seaman, but let it be notorious, I am afraid that under Fang Guozhen's anger, he will not survive tonight......
Corresponding to the excited cries of the pirates were the panicked wails of the villagers, because Wanhe Village had been looted once, so the pirates locked their eyes directly on the shops.
"Oops! Haikou is really here, don't worry about anything, run! ”
After receiving Wen Xuan's notice, the person in charge of the caravan was on guard from the very beginning, and personally sat on the first floor of the inn to stare at the situation outside, so after receiving the warning from the husband, he immediately ordered the caravan to flee the village.
"You brutes who have destroyed human nature, return the lives of my wife and children!" A red-eyed man from the village grabbed a harpoon and rushed at Cai's head.
"Want revenge? Let's wait for the next life. Cai sneered, and with a strong shoulder on the big axe he was carrying, he held it firmly in his hand.
"Even if I die, I will pull you on your back!" The man is a fisherman in the village, and the harpoon is swift and ruthless when used in his hand.
Cai Rantou can sit in the position of the owner of the tail water altar, and his ability is naturally not small, and the arm holding the handle of the axe suddenly burst into green tendons, and he picked up the big axe weighing dozens of catties in the air, and went straight to the harpoon.
I only heard a "sonorous" sound, and the iron fork-like tip embedded in the top of the wooden stick was actually split by a big axe!
Thinking of the tragic death of his wife and children, the fisherman put life and death aside, gritted his teeth and swung the only remaining wooden stick from the harpoon and smashed it at Cai Chao's head.
"There is really a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to vote! Grandpa had no choice but to accept your cheap life today! Cai Chaotou said a cruel word coldly, and then exerted his strength again, ignoring the wooden stick that the fisherman smashed into his upper body, and clenched the big axe with both hands and slashed at it.
The wooden stick in the fisherman's hand came first and smashed it on Cai Chaotou's shoulder.
Cai Chaotou didn't even frown half a point, and after resisting, the killing weapon in his hand was ruthlessly chopped down, taking away the fisherman's life.
The location of the fight between the two was in the middle of the village, and the villagers who saw this scene immediately screamed and dispersed like birds and beasts.
