Chapter 2592, Wind Thief
The village used to be very rich, although it was not a big rich and expensive, but it also had no worries about food and clothing! But since three years ago, the situation in the village has taken a turn for the worse!
The first is the taxes levied by the imperial court, because the Qingzhou Dynasty is at war with Yanzhou, and the national power consumption is huge, the taxes collected are naturally higher. Fortunately, the small village is rich in food, even if the taxes are paid, the family still has New Year's food savings, be thrifty, and it will not be a problem to survive!
Unexpectedly, under the weakening of the power of the national dynasty, the bandits in Qingzhou began to run rampant. A group of bandits called the "Wind Bandits" is particularly hateful, they are entrenched in the mountains and forests of this area, the leader of the bandits is a cultivator, can resist the wind, and when they plunder as fast as the wind, hence the name "Wind Bandits".
The Qingzhou Dynasty was busy fighting Yanzhou, and the local government did not have any extra troops to encircle and suppress the bandits. No matter how heavy the taxes of the imperial court are, they will not exterminate their own people, but robbers will! The wind thieves relied on the strength of the soldiers and horses, and blatantly levied protection fees on the surrounding towns and villages, and the words were good, even if the Qingzhou Dynasty was finished, they would also ensure the integrity of this side of the township. I can only reluctantly accept the exploitation of these robbers.
On the one hand, you have to pay the taxes of the imperial court, and on the other hand, you have to accept the ruthless exploitation of the wind thieves. At the time of the autumn harvest, the small village has a bumper harvest, but in the harvest year, there is no overnight food at home, and now the winter is coming, they have no grain in stock, no matter what, they can't survive this winter!
"These abominable robbers!!" Xiao Ai scolded angrily, "They all deserve to die!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the children around them immediately said nervously: "Sister, don't!" Can't go to those robbers! They're so powerful, the most powerful uncle in the village can't beat them, they'll kill my sister! ”
"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Ai said confidently, "Sister, I will thunder, and when the time comes, I will thunder and kill them from afar, and they won't be able to hit me!" ”
When these words came out, they immediately ushered in the exclamation of the children's adoration, my sister is so powerful that she can thunder! Sure enough, my sister is a fairy sister! Only the gods will thunder!
Lin Zheng looked at Xiao Ai, who was worshiped by the children, and turned around and said to the old man: "When the national disaster is at hand, as a citizen of Qingzhou, it is also appropriate to pay more taxes, which can be regarded as a contribution to this day!" ”
The old man didn't refute, nodded and said: "That's the truth, since we are the people of Qingzhou, we should naturally contribute to this country, even if we are on the battlefield!" I only hate that robber for destroying humanity, this is a way to live for us at all! ”
"There will be a way!" Lin Zheng nodded and smiled, "The robbers are so rampant and poison the people, it is impossible for the court to have no reaction at all, I think it won't be long before the court should clean up those robbers, as long as everyone survives this winter, the good days will come back!" ”
When the old man heard this, a miserable smile immediately appeared on his face, "There is no grain in the village, if it weren't for Miss Gongzi's help today, the children wouldn't be able to survive even three days in this weather, how easy is it to survive this winter?!" ”
"With limited capacity, it's impossible to help all the villagers in distress, but if it's just here, there's still no problem!"
At the moment of life and death, the old man couldn't care about his face, and when he heard Lin Zheng's words, he immediately shouted: "Please help your son!" After speaking, he got up and knelt down for Lin Zheng again.
Lin Zheng hurriedly pressed the old man, "The old man doesn't have to be like this, I'm just doing my best to do my meager part, you can sit down first." The problem of food, I will solve it! ”
"Childe, although this village is small, there are still 100 people, so many people, there is a lot of food to be consumed in a winter, where can we get it?"
Hearing Ah Xiao's loud chatter, Lin Zheng laughed, "You son, I am a greedy person, I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of food on my body!" ”
Ah Da Ah Er obviously looked unbelieving, who is okay with a winter's food for a hundred and ten people?! But soon they were dumbfounded, because Lin Zheng had already taken out many bags of flour, and they were stacked more and more, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a small mountain!
Even Ah Da Ah Er was dumbfounded, let alone the villagers in the small village! It was Xiao Ai, who saw the hill that Lin Zheng had piled up, so he clapped his little hands excitedly and screamed, Brother Zheng is so powerful, he can conjure up so much food!
Of course, these flours can't be conjured, and no one can fool a group of poor villagers! Not only is it not conjured, but these are all high-end goods, there is no way, Lin Zheng has these immortal wheat flour left, but it is not bad, the villagers have been exploited for more than three years, and their bodies are already weak, so it is just right to eat some immortal wheat to make up for it!
Smelling the flour spilling in the air, the villagers' faces were full of intoxication, and they thought they were so hungry that they hadn't tasted pasta for a long time. But Ah Da Ah Er's face changed, as a cultivator, as soon as Xianmai flour was absorbed, where did he not know the bottom of this flour! I couldn't help but exclaim: "Childe!! ”
Knowing what they were going to say, Lin Zheng turned his head and smiled at them: "It's okay, what I have is that when I leave Kyushu, I want as much as I want!" ”
You know this is Kyushu! Ah Da Ah Er's face was painful and tangled, such a good thing was actually used as food for a group of mortals, in their opinion, it was simply a tyrannical thing! You don't know how long you'll have to stay in Kyushu, can't you be a little thrifty?!
"Enough! That's enough! The old man stood up with surprise in his eyes, grabbed Lin Zheng's hand and shouted, "Enough is enough, son, so much grain is enough for us to survive until the next wave of crops!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Zheng stopped, but before he could speak, Xiao Ai said seriously: "Grandpa, you have to hide this grain, lest those damn robbers come and rob it again!" ”
Seeing the abundance of grain, the originally gloomy and bleak village was suddenly shrouded in joy, and when he heard Xiao Ai's words, an adult immediately said happily: "Miss, don't worry!" The Storm Thieves scavenged our village's grain not long ago, and they won't be coming back until the next crop is harvested, so don't worry they'll find our grain! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Who said that Lao Tzu couldn't find it?!" ”
Hearing this voice, the villagers who were originally full of joy suddenly changed their faces drastically, and hurriedly turned around in panic, and saw a group of more than a dozen people, who appeared in the village at some point, and the leader was riding on a black horse, wearing bright leather armor and a red tasseled leather helmet, majestic, and those who knew would say that this was the second leader of the wind thieves, and I don't know where it came from.
The second master gently flicked the reins, and the black horse under the seat took a few steps forward, staring at the flour that Lin Zheng took out, with both mockery and anger in his eyes, and shook the leather whip in his hand hard! As soon as I heard the sound of "pop-" on the ground, a small ditch was pulled out of the ground, which frightened the villagers for a while.
"Damn, there are so many hidden, I dared to send Lao Tzu as a flower two days ago, right?!" The second master looked at the white flour bag, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't care how much food he gave, but he was sent away as a flower child, which was unforgivable!
But under the oppression of this house, the villagers of the small village finally broke out, and a few middle-aged people who were quite strong rushed to the front of the second master, and shouted with a hideous expression: "These are the life-saving food given to us by the son, you dog's things, don't want to snatch them!" ”
"Good! Good!! The second master laughed angrily, and then his fierce gaze swept to Lin Zheng, "Childe, right?!" Since you have so much money to spare, come with me! Someone! ”
As soon as the words fell, the robbers behind him immediately rushed behind the second master with a cruel smile, staring at the eyes of the villagers, as cruel and greedy as the evil ghosts who choose people to eat, none of these fools who dared to resist could survive!
Lin Zheng and the others had already discovered these robbers, but the robbers were just that, and they didn't need to make a fuss, the words were just right, saving them from wasting time looking for these guys' lair.
Looking at Lin Zheng's casual playful expression, the anger in the eyes of the second master suddenly rushed straight to his head, "I'll make you laugh!" With a roar, the whip in the hands of the second master slashed towards Lin Zheng!
Lin Zheng didn't move, Ah Er's hand had already grabbed the whip of the second master, and before the second master reacted, Lin Zheng said: "Ah Da, except for the one who rides a horse, I'll clean up the rest, don't leave anything behind!" ”
"Yes! Son! ”
Hearing the conversation between Lin Zheng and Ah Da, the robbers' eyes suddenly widened, this kind of thing should be right for them, when will it be the turn of others?! However, before the anger came out, they met Ah Da's hideous smile, and in an instant, the whole person was like an ice cave!
In the blink of an eye, Ah Da's figure disappeared from their field of vision, and before they could find Ah Da's voice, two huge fists appeared in front of them, hitting the heads of the two robbers, under the horrified gaze of the robbers on the side, the whole head of the robber who was hit exploded instantly, and in an instant, they could even see the white brains and the eyeballs that popped out of their sockets, but after a short moment, the splashing brains and eyeballs suddenly disintegrated and disappeared without a trace! Childe said, don't leave anything, of course you can't leave the corpse!
After a brief moment of consternation, the robbers finally screamed hysterically and fled in all directions! In the face of Ah Da's terrifying strength, all they can experience is the fear of death, no hope of survival, and they can't muster the courage to fight Ah Da at all! But even if these guys fight back, it's useless, the gap between them and Ah Da is too big!
"Bang ——!" With Ah Da's fist swinging, the village suddenly fell silent, and all the robbers who tried to escape were all cleaned up by Ah Da, and there was not even a bit of scum left. It's not fun to bully the weak, but it's comfortable to clean up such goods!
Seeing a comfortable smile on Ah Da's face, the second master on horseback was so frightened that he slipped down. However, this guy was largely pretending, because after he slid off the horse, two yellow talismans quickly stuck to his legs! How can this kind of small action be hidden from Lin Zheng and them, seeing this, Ah Er pursed his lips disdainfully, and shook the whip that was still holding in his hand, and the whip grip suddenly slapped the second master's face, and with a scream, the second master flew out upside down, and a red mark on his face neatly divided his face into two halves, and several teeth were knocked off.
As soon as he landed, the yellow talisman on the feet of the second master burst out with a burst of blue light, and then this guy slipped away without a trace. Seeing this, Xiao Ai jumped up and exclaimed, "Ah! Not good! That guy ran away! ”
"Don't worry!" Lin Zheng said with a smile on his face, "That guy can't run away!" Then he turned his head to look at the old man, "Then everyone, we still have to deal with the scourge, so we won't stay long, and we will leave!" ”
The old man who came back to his senses grabbed Lin Zheng's hand tremblingly, and said excitedly: "Thank you, son!" Thank you! At this time, the old man didn't know where Lin Zheng was fighting the idea of taking the wind thief to the pot, just looking at Ah Dafangcai's brave and unparalleled performance, the old man was full of confidence that they would definitely succeed, and the end of the wind thief was coming!
Lin Zheng smiled, and regarded it as accepting the old man's gratitude, they still deserved it! Immediately, the group left the village under the gratitude and reluctance of everyone in the village, although the villagers wanted to treat the benefactor well, but they even had the only food Lin Zheng received, what to use to entertain the benefactor?! In desperation, I had to use this expression of gratitude to see the benefactor leave!
The children's immature goodbyes kept ringing behind them, hearing their voices, Xiao Ai always couldn't help but turn around and wave her hand to them, those poor children, always reminded her of herself when she was a child, but she was much luckier than the children! Turning around, Xiao Ai rushed to Lin Zheng's side quickly, hugged Lin Zheng's arm with a smile, and looked at this girl's coquettish appearance, Lin Zheng touched her head dotingly, and then asked, "Xun!" Where did that guy run? ”
As soon as the words fell, Xun exclaimed: "So fast, that guy has already run thirty miles away!" ”
"It's really fast!" Xiao Ai was surprised, "No wonder those guys are called Wind Thieves!" ”
Ah Er also said with some surprise: "I saw that he only used two magic talismans before, but I didn't expect the effect of this divine talisman to be so good, it can make him run for thirty miles in such a short time, it seems that the big boss of the wind thief still has some ability!" ”
"What kind of skill is it to specialize in running away!" Ah Da despised this very much, thinking that only the rats would think about this kind of thing. And in fact, the big boss is indeed a rat, and it should be a bit of a Taoist to be able to draw a divine talisman of that quality, you say that you have this ability, why can't you do it, you actually came to rob a group of flat-headed people, and simply threw the face of the cultivator to grandma's house, this is a shame for the cultivator!
"We don't care what kind of person he is, he's just a dead man!"
Hearing Lin Zheng's words, Ah Da Ah Er thought deeply, no matter how famous the wind thief was in this area, it was not enough to stew in front of them, so there was really no need to treat them as any characters.
After the second master traveled more than 30 miles, the yellow talisman under his feet was finally scrapped, and as the effect of the magic talisman disappeared, the second master's feet staggered, exclaimed, and fell into a dog to eat. Originally, his face was already seriously injured, and when he fell like this, he immediately screamed in pain.
After a while, the second boss was relieved, thinking of Lin Zheng in the small village, he jumped up suddenly, no, those guys looked ruthless, in case they chased after them, it would be bad! You have to hurry back to the village, only when you return to the village, he can be considered completely safe!
Thinking of this, the second master's expression turned hideous, and he turned around and scolded fiercely: "Nosy dog mongrel, if you have the ability, you can chase after Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu can't kill you!" The cruel words were said happily, but the injury on the face was pulled, and suddenly the face twitched, "oops" and shouted bitterly, and after scolding angrily, he recognized the direction and left quickly.
Winter is coming, everything is withering in the deep mountains, the second master stepped on the leaves everywhere, quite struggled to move forward, used the magic talisman twice in a row, the burden on his legs is too great in the world, and now his feet are shaking like playing a lute. finally came to a steep stone mountain, and finally couldn't help the sore feet, and the whole person was paralyzed.
After gasping for breath for a while, the second master raised his voice and roared: "Someone! Where are they all dead?! Didn't you see that Lao Tzu is back! ”
Not long after the words fell, two people hurriedly ran out of the stone mountain, and after a closer look, they found that there was a valley hidden at the foot of the stone mountain. Soon, the two rushed to the side of the second master, and when they saw the unrecognizable appearance of the second master, they couldn't recognize it, if it weren't for the voice of the second master, they couldn't believe that this was their second master! After hurriedly helping the second boss up, he heard the second boss say: "Take me to the big boss immediately, quick!" ”
After hearing this, the two minions hurriedly helped the second master to the other side of the world, and not long after, the three of them entered the hidden valley. After entering the valley, the spatial vision suddenly opened up, a line of sky was above, and a huge space was hollowed out below, and a large number of robbers inhabited it, enjoying the warmth and robbery here. They embraced beauties, ate meat, and drank wine, and the whole robber's den presented a scene of arrogance and lewdness.
Seeing the second master who was helped in, one by one suddenly showed a look of surprise, this is incredible, the second master took more than a dozen people out, and now he is the only one who runs back in embarrassment! After coming back to their senses, they were furious, damn it, who was so bold that they dared to spread wild on their territory of the wind thieves, and they were tired of it!!
