Chapter 107: A Different Village
"This son, can you allow me to ask more, reinforcements, how many are there?" the village chief began.
Recently, it has been reported that horse bandits are attacking, and many villages have been plundered, and the villagers are panicked, and even the village guards of those villages have been killed by horse bandits.
How did this not worry the villagers, because of the horse spinning, many people did not dare to go out to plant crops anymore.
"Ahem, there are hundreds, you can rest assured, if a horse bandit comes here, we will definitely not let you be harmed. Ye Xing said.
In that way, he looks quite confident.
"In that case, that's good, that's good. When Village Chief Li heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the big stone in his heart.
The villagers' ups and downs also became relaxed again with Ye Xing's words.
However, there are still some people who don't believe in Ye Xing, looking into the distance, wanting to see if there is any foreign aid stationed.
After a pause, Ye Xing's eyes lit up and said, "But before that, can you let me have a meal of rice first?" ”
Gu Xun: "......"
Village Chief: "......"
Villagers: "......"
They suddenly had great doubts about Ye Xing's words, if it weren't for the fact that this person came back with Gu Cunshou, the villagers would probably think that Ye Xing had come to cheat and cheat.
"Don't worry, I have money and just want to eat one meal of rice. Ye Xing took out a silver coin and said, this is still the one found by the vendor when he bought the cage bag before.
"Childe, come to my house for dinner, my rice is fragrant and sweet, but it is glutinous!"
The eldest lady who had commented on her head and feet suddenly spoke, squeezed away the villagers around her, and walked in front of Ye Xing.
"Childe, please here, please here. The eldest lady smiled very happily, snatched the silver coin from Ye Xing's hand, and her voice became more and more enthusiastic.
"Hey, Aunt Sun, you only have rice, but no vegetables, you want me, son, why don't you come to my house, my rice is definitely softer than Aunt Sun's, and there are vegetables and fruits." ”
The villagers gossip, and one silver coin is enough for them to live a much better life.
Although the harvest has not been good recently, there is still some old grain left over from the past.
"Shut up, stop it, others are here to help us deal with Ma Fang, where can we ask for money for a meal?"
"Aunt Sun, listen to me, return it to others quickly.
It's not easy for others to make money, so Childe should go to my house to eat. The village chief suddenly coughed heavily.
The villagers were quiet again, you look at me, I look at you, no one said for a while.
"Cough, son, take it well, my aunt Sun is not a person who sees money, you take back this money quickly, I invited you for this meal." Aunt Sun clutched the silver coin tightly and stretched out her hand reluctantly.
"No, it's not easy for everyone.
You should take the money, so that I can eat the rice with peace of mind. Ye Xing shook his head and pushed Aunt Sun's hand back.
"Okay, let's go! Aunt Sun will cook for you. Aunt Sun smiled, hurriedly put the silver coin into her waist, and walked in front.
"Leave first, don't worry about the horse spinning matter. Ye Xing said.
"Eh, you wait for me. Gu Xun suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly caught up with Ye Xing.
"Where are the reinforcements, how can you lie to them. Gu Xun chased after Ye Xing and said.
He knew best whether there were reinforcements or not, those mercenaries were asking for such a high price, and he didn't recruit them at all.
What can two thousand five hundred silver coins do to recruit five people?
Maybe he didn't fight much before he was taken away by a wave of horse bandits.
Moreover, Ye Xing was also met by him in the middle of the road, and there was no one else in the vicinity at that time.
Therefore, the reinforcements in Ye Xing's mouth do not exist at all, and if they do not exist, they can only deceive the villagers.
"It's true that there are no reinforcements, but if you tell the villagers the truth, do you think they will be so optimistic?"
"Once they learn the truth, they may be desperate to fight the bandits.
But the bigger one is the one that can lead to a nervous breakdown, so don't you want to make them fight the murderous horse bandits?"
Ye Xingdao grabbed Gu Xun's shoulder.
"Hey, Childe, it's my house in front, wait until I make rice for you, and then get two more dishes." Aunt Sun looked back at the two soils.
The relationship between the young man in white and Gu Cunshou seems to be quite good.
"Well, okay, then it's troublesome Auntie. Ye Xingdao, and then said to Gu Xun again: "The horse bandit is not an ordinary person, people with a cultivation realm must account for the majority, look at this group of villagers, how many cultivators can there be?"
"But even if you tell them that there are reinforcements outside, and no one stops them when the bandits come, won't the villagers still die? Gu Xundao.
"Then have you ever thought about what would happen to these villagers if they encountered horse bandits in the process of fleeing? Once that happens, they will really be slaughtered, right?" Ye Xing said.
The two followed Aunt Sun to a courtyard.
There was a child sitting in the doorway, shaking his head and reciting a book.
When the child saw Aunt Sun, he hurriedly pounced on it, holding Aunt Sun's thighs and shaking back and forth.
"Eh, don't make trouble, there's a guest at home, good, go to study." Aunt Sun coaxed the child and said.
The child was also obedient, and after leaving Aunt Sun, he turned his head and ran towards Gu Xun again.
"Brother Gu, you're back, I've memorized a lot of new words. The child hugged Gu Xundao again, but his eyes looked at Ye Xing in a blink of an eye.
Gu Xun originally wanted to refute Ye Xing, but when he saw the child in front of him, he closed his mouth.
"Okay, how many words has the guy learned recently, but you have to hurry up and memorize it, and Brother Gu will come to check it when the time comes. Gu Xundao.
"Okay, Brother Gu asks, but who is this brother?Is it Brother Gu's good friend?" The child looked at Ye Xing, and he felt that Ye Xing's white clothes were really more and more comfortable the more he looked at them.
"Hello, I'm your brother Gu's good friend, and I'm here to help you fight the big villain. Ye Xing squatted down, took out a fruit from the storage ring, and handed it to the child.
Buying children or something, Ye Xing is very good at it.
However, due to the child's return, Ye Xing did not give a spirit fruit with a very strong aura, but chose a one with a low aura content that was suitable for the child to absorb.
"It's ...... Spirit Fruit?" The child can't recognize it, and Gu Xun won't recognize it.
He looked at Ye Xing and was a little interested in Ye Xing's identity.
This kind of thing like a spirit fruit is extremely precious, but Ye Xing gave it to a strange child without care, which is enough to show that this spirit fruit is nothing to Ye Xinglai.
And what kind of role would a person who didn't even care about a spirit fruit be? Gu Xun didn't know, he only felt that Ye Xing might really be the kind of child of a big family who was training outside.
The child was very happy to get the spirit fruit, made a salute to Ye Xing, and then jumped to read and write.
Ye Xing was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the child to express his gratitude like this.
"The kids are teaching very well. ”
Although Ye Xing has lived in the mountains with Tsuneishi and others for a long time, he often goes out every year because of the test consumption.
During this period, you will often meet all kinds of people.
Sometimes, you will also encounter villages where the children are not as polite as the children here.
Even the children in those villages can't even read and write, because there are almost no people who can teach people to read and write because of the years of war.
Most of the people at the bottom are to exercise their martial arts, absorb spiritual energy, and step into the path of cultivation as their main goal.
Only after touching the threshold of cultivation will you slowly learn to read and write.
