Chapter 6: The Harvest (Part I)
"Big Young Master...... I'm afraid...... It hurts! Xiao Cui said weakly while lying in the car.
Hearing this, Liu Lei held Xiao Cui's hand tightly: "Xiao Cui, don't be afraid, I'm here, it'll be fine in a while!" ”
Seeing that Xiao Cui and the injured family were becoming more and more pale, Liu Lei's eyes were full of anger: "How long will it take, believe it or not, I killed you" Liu Lei shouted loudly to the thief who led the way.
"Right now! Right away! Just ahead" The thief who led the way heard Liu Lei's roar, and thought of his companions who died tragically under Zhuge Lian's crossbow, and his legs were so frightened that he hurriedly replied.
Turning the foot of a hill, the thief excitedly said, "It's here!" It's here! The front is" His heart was a little more excited than Liu Lei.
Looking in the direction of his finger, a valley entrance could be seen between the two mountains, obscured by dense trees.
"Big young master, slow down, I'll go over and have a look first," Li Tianlong said and rushed over first.
"Who...... Hold it! …… Yes! ”
As soon as Li Tianlong rushed into the valley, Liu Lei and the others faintly heard a few shouts.
When Liu Lei and the others rushed over, they saw that there was a simple wooden fence about two meters high at the mouth of the valley, which was only about four meters wide, and the gate of the stockade was open.
Liu Lei walked in and found that although the entrance of this valley is very small, the space inside is still very large, the whole valley is like a gourd with a small belly, two big mountains form a completely closed valley here, the valley is surrounded by cliffs as high as fifty or sixty meters on three sides, only the valley mouth can enter and exit, and there are several rows of simple houses in the valley. There were more than 20 people standing beside Li Tianlong with their heads bowed and cautious, among these people, there were men, women and children, one of the old men was much calmer than the others, watching Liu Lei and the others come over, and at a glance he stared at the carriage pulling the wounded. At Li Tianlong's feet lay two thieves who did not know life and death.
"Young Master, these two thieves have been cleaned up by me, and everyone is here," Li Tianlong said to Liu Lei.
Liu Lei grabbed the thief who led the way and said, "What about the doctor? ”
"He is, that's him" The thief was startled by Liu Lei, and pointed to the old man with an ordinary expression in the crowd and said anxiously.
"Come here!" Liu Lei pushed the thief away and pointed at the old man.
The old man heard the conversation between Liu Lei and the thief, knew Liu Lei, and also saw the injured person in the car, and saw Liu Lei telling him to hurry over.
"You show them quickly, they must be cured," Liu Lei said anxiously.
"Neng Zhi" The old man carefully checked the injuries of several people, raised his head and said calmly.
"Quick, carry it into the house" Liu Lei was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked people to carry Xiaocui and the injured family members into the simple hall that the thieves usually used as a banquet, and put the wounded well, Li Tianlong took the family out, it was useless to stay here, they had to check the village well. Liu Lei stared at the old man with his hands tied and treated the wounded.
The old man took out a small medicine box, took out a small bottle from it, and was about to feed Xiao Cui into it.
"Wait a minute" Liu Lei hurriedly stopped, he saw that the bottle in the old man's hand contained an unknown green liquid, who knew if the old man was holding poison or not.
"You eat first, then you give them food"
The old man listened to Liu Lei's words and didn't make any further moves, looked at Liu Lei lightly and said, "This is the paralysis potion I configured, I will fall asleep if I eat it, unless you can cure them"
Liu Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his heart became conflicted.
"Big ...... Big Young Master"
The thief who led the way suddenly said at this time, he heard everyone call him like this, and Liu Lei also called him like this: "Old man Li, it's very powerful, he usually treats our injuries, and every time he can cure the disease."
Liu Lei hesitated after listening to the thief's words, seeing that the old man stared at him without dodging at all, he bit it and waved his hand as a default.
The old man fed everyone a little liquid, and after a while, all the wounded, including Xiao Cui, fainted, but their faces were a little ruddy, and their breathing was stable. Seeing this, Liu Lei was relieved, and saw that the old man began to treat everyone's wounds, and walked out with everyone.
"What's the matter with that old man?" Liu Lei saw the old man's methods, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked the thief next to him.
The thieves hurriedly introduced it, according to him, this valley was their stronghold, and every time they snatched something back, they put it here, and those ordinary people were caught by them nearby to work for them and serve them.
The old man was caught in the mountains once, the old man was alone in the jungle to collect herbs, the thieves were very curious that the old man dared to appear alone in the dangerous jungle and caught him, and later according to the old man, he had been with the alchemist for a while, and some medical thieves kept the old man.
The thieves were often injured, but the old man was able to cure the disease every time, and he also had some fame among the thieves, and the thieves respected him very much, and did not embarrass him, and ate and drank well every day.
And the old man did not want to leave like the other people who were caught, he stayed here for several years, and the thieves did not restrain him, and every morning the old man would go out, and come back in the evening, and then he would go into the house and he did not know what to do, and he did not usually communicate with anyone except for the treatment of injuries.
"Young Master......" Liu Lei was about to continue asking, but was interrupted by Li Tianlong, who came in a hurry.
Looking at Li Tianlong's happy face, Liu Lei asked puzzledly, "What's the matter, Uncle Li?" ”
"Young master, we sent it, just now we found the warehouse of the village and found a lot of good things, among which there are five big carts of grain, and the third son is leading people to count it," Li Tianlong said happily.
"Hmmm! I know" Liu Lei was still thinking about Xiaocui in his heart, and he didn't have Li Tianlong's excitement to respond casually.
"That ......" Li Tianlong hesitated.
"What's wrong Uncle Li?" Liu Lei asked when he saw this.
"Young Master, you lend me this kid, this kid should know a lot of good things"
Li Tianlong pointed to the thief who led the way beside Liu Lei and said. Li Tianlong was satisfied and took the robbers away and continued his great business of raiding the family.
Walking to a place where there was no one, Liu Lei's heart turned over and overturned, and he killed someone? And more than one. The anger in his heart slowly extinguished with time, and Liu Lei's mind was now full of himself, shooting the thief to death. Liu Lei looked at his hands, he had never even killed chickens in his previous life, but today he killed several people with his own hands, is he so bloodthirsty?
Liu Lei sat on the ground in a daze, and suddenly saw an ant on the ground dragging a small insect, Liu Lei looked at it blankly, I don't know why he was attracted, I don't know how long it took for Liu Lei to wake up.
The weak eat the strong! Big fish eat little fish! Liu Lei shouted in his heart, he figured it out, this world is no longer the world of worry-free, safe and comfortable in the previous life. I was almost killed one day after I first crossed, I was just sent home and driven out of the house, and I was intercepted and killed on the road, if I hadn't gotten the Zhuge Repeater given by the system, then the corpse lying in the jungle today is myself, Xiaocui, Uncle Li and Jiading, and no one will mourn.
Thinking about it, Liu Lei gritted his teeth vigorously, clenched his hands tightly, his eyes were firm, he wanted to use his own efforts to win status and dignity in this life, and he also had to protect everyone around him.
