Chapter 4 The innocent can sleep in peace
"Why hasn't Lolita come yet, have you given up?" It was already noon, Fang Yan stood alone on the grass where he had cultivated with Lolita yesterday, frowned and looked in the direction of the distant village, shook his head and vetoed, "Impossible, she is not that kind of person." β
"I've been waiting all morning, let's wait." Taking a deep breath, Fang Yan sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
Fang Yan came much earlier today than yesterday, and ran out in a hurry before dawn, the reason was of course not to start Lolita's course early, but to avoid the swordsman who stayed at home.
That's right, that swordsman last night was regarded by Fang Yan as an ordinary existence.
At the first glance of that swordsman yesterday, Fang Yan felt his terribleness. That kind of feeling like a blade that makes people's hairs blow up is definitely not something that idle people can have, Fang Yan judged in an instant that if the two of them fight, he will definitely be killed with a sword.
However, Fang Yan has always behaved very calmly, and after a secretive conversation, the two also drank and chatted together, and said some things about the big 6.
But in fact, Fang Yan was scared to death!
Damn, once I went home ordinarily, there was an unidentified top master waiting for me at home, and I offered to spend the night, especially when I still have a lot of high-value weapons and equipment in my homeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» needless to say, there are many powerful perverts who take pleasure in killing people on Valoran 6, who is not afraid of this kind of thing?
However, although Fang Yan is young, he understands a truth: before the crisis, the more panicked he becomes, the closer he is to death.
After experiencing the initial panic, Fang Yan felt that the swordsman didn't look like some kind of perverted murderer, since there was no grudge between the two, and the swordsman didn't seem to be trying to plot his property, then as long as he didn't provoke him, there wouldn't be too much danger. So Fang Yan maintained an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance on the surface, but he spoke completely along with the swordsman, so the two got along quite harmoniously last night.
Dealing with the swordsman as carefully as if walking a tightrope, Fang Yan dealt with it like this for a night, and finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief the next day, and before dawn, he hurriedly got up and left the house under the pretext of getting up early to cultivate, leaving the swordsman alone at home - just kidding, did he stay at home and have breakfast with that kind of terrible guy?
Going out early in the morning, of course Fang Yan couldn't stay so bored, but unfortunately he couldn't carry out his favorite forging work, so he had to start his long-lost cultivation while waiting for Lolita who had made an appointment.
But until now, it had been a long time since the agreed time, and Lolita still hadn't come here, which made Fang Yan feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"Could it be γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» that guy?" A thought suddenly flashed in his heart, Fang Yan stood up suddenly, his eyes locked on the direction of the village.
[I have something to do tomorrow, come here late at night to spend the night, can the little brother be willing to make it convenient for me? ] The words that the swordsman had said last night rang in Fang Yan's ears again.
"Business? What the hell is going on! Fang Yan's face gradually became hideous, and he took a step and rushed in the direction of the village, stepping the ground, leaving a deep footprint.
"No matter who you really are, no matter how terrible your strength is!" The figure galloped, and the strong wind stabbed Fang Yan's face like a sword, causing Fang Yan's eyes to narrow slightly.
"If you dare to hurt Lolita, hurt the villagers of Windmill Village!" The degree became faster and faster, Fang Yan's eyes narrowed into a slit, faintly revealing a strange red.
"I won't let you go!"
At this moment, Fang Yan didn't know that the swordsman he regarded as an enemy was now staying in another place where he often liked to stay.
In the grove, the swordsman held his sword wrapped in a white cloth in his arms, looking at the big tree in front of him in a daze, but his usually sharp eyes looked a little dazed at the moment.
Suddenly, the leaves fell.
A verdant leaf inexplicably detached from the branches, swirled gently in the breeze, and lay quietly on the ground. The swordsman's eyes stared at the fallen leaves for a long time, and he suddenly spoke, as if asking himself: "Is the life of the leaves just to return to the roots?" β
"Where are my roots?"
"Hahahahaγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" The swordsman suddenly laughed, took out a wine gourd from his bosom and poured it in a big gulp, allowing the spilled wine to flow over his face.
The wine was dry, and he threw the gourd aside, and the swordsman turned over and sat down against the trunk of the tree, looked up at the sky, and a bitter smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "It's been ten years, and it's been ten years." When I buried you here ten years ago, I said to you that I would catch the murderer who made me a sinner. But now? Hehe, it's been ten years. β
"I've traveled all over Ionia, I've infiltrated Noxus, I've searched all over Zaun, I've searched for the whole Valoran 6 again and again, why can't I find the murderer!" There was a roar in the sky, and the sound resounded throughout the woods, and then it fell silent for a moment.
Sitting quietly beside the tree, the swordsman looked down at the ground, his breathing gradually becoming steady.
After a long time, the swordsman suddenly laughed, stood up and said, "Although your grave is no longer there, I know that you have been watching me. Don't worry, brother, although I have wandered the world, I have not lost my heart. I'm still the same Yasuo who swore to kill the wicked people in the world. I won't forget the purpose of coming back here this time. β
"Only those who are innocent will sleep in peace." As he spoke, the swordsman named Yasuo tightened his sword and turned in the direction of the windmill village.
And at this moment, in the windmill village-
"Bang!" The impact was accompanied by a tooth-aching sound, and a terrible howl suddenly sounded, and a young figure fell to the ground in pain, his hands clutching his legs tightly and screaming. Behind, the villagers who had gathered together quietly instantly became angry, and most of the men showed anger on their faces, but they looked at the group of black-clothed people in front of them with extreme fear and did not dare to act rashly. There was a faint cry from the crowd, and it was the mother and wife of the injured man who were weeping.
"Shut up, medically speaking, screaming will only deepen your pain, all you need to do now is lie quietly on the ground and wait for treatment." It was a fat man dressed in black who spoke, slowly withdrew his fist, bit the toothpick in his mouth, and squeezed out a condescending smile on his face full of meat, "Don't worry, you just have a broken leg, and your life will not be in danger." We never kill anyone. β
"Sometimes I really wonder why the world has such a big misunderstanding of us." The fat man took a few steps forward towards the villagers, his face showing a deep sense of incomprehension and grievance. As far as the eye could see, the villagers of Windmill Village lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him, for fear that their angry and disdainful eyes would lead to revenge.
His eyes looked around the villagers, and seeing that no one showed any intention of resisting, the fat man nodded in satisfaction. Pacing slowly, he looked at the dozen or so men who were also dressed in black around the villagers, and a look of smugness flashed in his eyes. He always enjoyed the speech at every action, as if the king was mobilizing his subjects.
"First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Pigno, the team leader of the Black Cross Charity Relief Society," the fat man named Pigno cleared his throat and made a solemn gesture, and said loudly to everyone, "In order to solve everyone's misunderstanding of us and resolve the contradictions that should not exist between us, I would like to introduce to you the history and purpose of our Black Cross Charity Relief Society." β
"The war between Ionia and Noxus is an eternal wound in the hearts of every Ionian, and this wound is even more serious for the people of our three southern provinces, because we have been enslaved by the hated Noxus for eight whole years. Eight years, how many eight years can there be in life? β
"Although more than four years ago, the three southern provinces returned to the embrace of Ionia, but in the past eight years, we have endured too much pain, and our relatives and friends have fallen one by one, leaving only us, the survivors, to face the devastated land of the three southern provinces. Let us observe three seconds of silence and pray for the blessings of these glorious and great sacrifices. As he spoke, a few tears crossed the corners of Pigno's eyes, and he silently closed his eyes full of pain.
Three seconds later, the fat man Pigno opened his eyes, and his tone slowly changed from deep to passionate: "The dead are in the past, we will mourn for them, and then the sun will rise as usual, and the days will still pass day by day, and the most important question in front of us is how to rebuild the three southern provinces and restore them to their former prosperity." β
"The whole of Ionia has suffered from the suffering of Noxus, and it has been left in ruins, but after the return of the three southern provinces, it has saved a small amount of money. Although there are not many of them, they have done their best, and we must understand and understand without any complaints about the Federation. Because, we are family. Fat Pigno's gaze swept over the faces of all the Windmill Village residents, and he smiled and nodded.
"The reconstruction work is proceeding slowly, the enthusiasm of the people is gradually eroding, and the three southern provinces are in a state of despair. However, at this very moment, we at Black Cross Charitable Relief stood up! At this, the fat man Pigno raised his arms high, and his eyes burst with amazing enthusiasm.
"With the approval of the metropolitan government, our Black Cross Charity Relief Association was formally established, calling on many aspiring young people to join, adhering to the purpose of 'the people of the three southern provinces to help themselves', and contributing all their strength to the reconstruction of the three southern provinces. Our Black Cross Charity Relief Association adheres to the principle of not getting any remuneration for voluntary labor, and goes to help wherever there is a need, and has set off a vigorous reconstruction activity in the entire three southern provinces, and the people's spirits have been invigorated! β
"Unfortunately, although we can contribute all our efforts to the reconstruction of the three southern provinces without complaint, we have spent all the funds and the reconstruction work has come to a standstill. At this time of crisis, when each of us was confused and hesitating, our president found a new way out! After obtaining the consent of the metropolitan government, we called on all the people of the three southern provinces to contribute to the reconstruction work, and began to collect donations in the three southern provinces, which was enthusiastically supported and supported by all the people of the three southern provinces! β
The fat man Pigno raised his head slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes: "At that moment, I was really moved, and I felt that everything I had paid was rewarded. You say yes, right? As he spoke, the fat man Pigno looked at everyone in front of him with earnest eyes, as if hoping for recognition.
The villagers all kept their heads down silently, and the occasional sound of "baba" and the like could be heard from the crowd. A few of Pigno's dozen men nodded and met Pigno's head with wide, tear-eyed eyes, but many more threw their heads to the side, unwilling to see the disgusting spectacle.
The fat man Pigno nodded with satisfaction, squeezed out a "kind" smile on his face, and said slowly to make his words clearer: "Now that everyone has understood our suffering, please contribute your own strength." We adopt a completely voluntary principle, no limit on the more, as little as one gold coin, according to the capitation. β
One gold coin!
Most of the villagers looked up in disbelief at the fat man standing on a high place. One gold coin is already a month's expense for a family here, and it is still calculated per capita?! You know, this is a rural area, what family doesn't have two or three children? Coupled with the elderly, each family needs about 6 gold coins, which is their expenses for half a year! After all, not everyone is the same as Fang Yan, Fang Yan is embarrassed to set the price of his broken house for a night stay in a gold coin.
Feeling the emotions of the villagers below, the fat man Pigno slapped his palms to attract everyone's attention, and said with a sincere face: "I know that everyone has always been very enthusiastic about our work, and they all want to do their best to contribute to the reconstruction of the three southern provinces, but I hope that everyone will do what they can, one gold coin per person is enough, please don't take out more, we will be embarrassed." β
"For the sake of the three southern provinces, for Ionia, for the people who have sacrificed, let's cheer together!" The fat man Pigno raised his arms and shouted, the corners of his mouth cracked into a smug smile, and he clenched the toothpick in his mouth.
"Shut up!" A voice tinged with anger rang out.
