When the villagers heard this, they immediately looked at each other. One of them was more bold, stood up and pointed at Rayson and said, "Are you scaring people?" Every time they come, don't they just rob us of some food? When have you ever killed someone? If we listen to you and provoke them to anger, we may really die! ”

"yes, yes, they're just stealing our food."

"Yes! It's not worth it to fight with them for food! ”

Rayson looked at the group of people and sneered disdainfully: "Huh? So you think you can live by being a sheep that is fed and every time you get sheared, right? ”

The faces of the villagers are not very good-looking. But none of them objected, and they were clearly more inclined to this humiliating, but 'safe' way of preserving their lives than risky confrontation.

"What a stupid and naïve sheep...... Rayson sneered, his voice even colder: "You guys, have you seen that village on the other side of the mountain?" ”

Doubts appeared on the faces of the villagers. It was only then that Rayson looked at Heihachi.

Pingba knew that it was time to speak for himself, so he stood up and faced the villagers, and said with a solemn face: "The people of that village...... All dead...... It was also burned by fire...... Nothing left......"

"What?"

"How is that possible? That's not what they did in previous years! ”

"Heihachi? You're not helping them deceive people, are you? ”

The villagers were shocked, and Pingba looked bitter, and sighed helplessly: "Not only that village, but also several villages nearby, all of which have been slaughtered, and only we are left......"

Most of the villagers still believed Pingba's words, and their faces invariably showed a look of horror, thinking that they might have to experience such a fate in the future, and many of them were like ashes.

Seeing this, Lei Sen knew that it was time, and pointed to Heiba and said to the villagers: "This is the person who kneels in front of me and begs me to save your place and the lives of your stupid sheep!" ”

"You can not participate in the resistance alone, anyway, I didn't want to take this mess, I can leave at any time. When the bandits come, it will only be you and your family who will die! ”

Rayson's words pierced the hearts of every villager like sharp knives, stabbing their nerves and faces. The villagers all bowed their heads, and no one spoke again, as if they were ashamed and thought......

"Do you think that if you keep being shaved and kneeling all the time, you can save your life forever?" Lei Sen glanced at the villagers again, and his voice did not show a trace of warmth: "Sheep will only be slaughtered in the end, and they will only kneel all the time, and it will only be easier for others to cut off your heads." ”

With that, Rayson turned around and pulled Ashley away. But when he left, he didn't forget to leave a word.

"I'll give you one night. I don't want to be a sheep anymore, I don't want to kneel anymore! Get here tomorrow morning! ”

Heihachi looked at the villagers, then at Rayson and Anderley, who had left, and followed after a moment's hesitation.

Ashley was dragged away, but she didn't forget to tease: "Uncle, you are so domineering." Didn't you say don't be too kind? Why are you still ......?"

"If tomorrow, more than half of the people come, I will still leave." Rayson said coldly: "People who are weak and still let themselves continue to be weak do not deserve sympathy." I'm not kind either, I just want to ......"

Rayson hesitated for a moment, but still said quietly: "Let me be comfortable." ”

Ashley listened to this and said no more. Heihachi also had a complicated expression, but he couldn't force the villagers to participate, so he could only secretly pray in his heart that more than half of them would appear at the well tomorrow.

Rayson was still walking in a certain direction, and after walking for a while, Ashley couldn't help but speak again: "Uncle, where are you going to take me?" ”

"Find someone."

The three of them eventually came to a corner of the village. Lei Sen pointed to a dilapidated courtyard in the distance and asked Pingba, "That family, have you gone to call someone?" ”

Pingba shook his head: "There is only one old man living in that household, and I saw that he was old, so I didn't call him." In previous years, when the bandits came, he reacted the most violently, and was almost killed by the bandits several times. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Rayson had already stepped away. Although he had let go of Ashley, Ashley followed closely.

The courtyard was surrounded only by a low fence, but it was neatly tied, with a table and a stool, and a tree stump next to it, which was full of scratches. The corners are full of neatly stacked, chopped firewood.

The courtyard door was open, and in the courtyard was a small bungalow with an axe next to the bungalow door. An old man with a pipe in his mouth stood in front of the door, his waist straight, and his eyes looked at Rayson who was standing outside the courtyard gate.

Heihachi followed, raised his hand and greeted the old man: "Uncle Yingshan-"

The old man did not reply, but held his pipe and silently stared at Rayson outside the courtyard. The old man's gray hair was neatly trimmed, his clean tank top and trousers, even the wrinkles on his face looked resolute, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Rayson.

Two men, one old and one young, are like two western cowboys about to face each other, staring at each other, silent. The atmosphere at the scene inexplicably became trembling; Anderley and Heihachi were inexplicable, and they didn't understand why the two of them who met for the first time suddenly became tense.

After a while, Lei Sen suddenly moved, and directly pulled out his long knife and rushed towards the old man of Eagle Mountain. Almost at the same time, the old man picked up the axe that had been placed by the door and swung it out.

It all happened quickly and ended quickly. Rayson grabbed the knife forward with his backhand, and the tip of the knife stopped only two centimeters away from the throat of the old man of Eagle Mountain, and the axe in Eagle Mountain's hand also stopped in mid-air, and there was still a little distance to cut Ray Son's face.

Anderley and Heihachi's hearts rose to their throats, and at this moment, the two of them felt only incomparable horror and inexplicability.

Unexpectedly, Lei Sen smiled at this time, looked at Eagle Mountain and said, "Have you been a soldier?" ”

"The last batch of Marines, with the rank of captain." Eagle Mountain was smoking a pipe, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Rayson's gaze, mixed with appreciation. By the last group, he refers to the last numbered regular army before the fall of the old century regime.

Both were on each other and smelled their own kind. Eagle Mountain didn't intend to admit it at all, and the axe was still held in the air: "If it weren't for my old age, you might not be my opponent." ”

"Maybe." Rayson put away his knife and turned away. As he had thought at the beginning, the old man of Eagle Mountain was indeed a veteran.

"Tomorrow morning, come to the well. An old gun, after a long time, it should also be unveiled. ”

Hearing this, a strange brilliance appeared in Eagle Mountain's old pupils, and he watched Rayson's back go away. This is the first acquaintance of two strange tough guys, and it doesn't need too many cumbersome words, just a few actions and a brief exchange, you can experience each other's sympathy.

But Heihachi didn't know why: "Sir, why did you let him come too?" Didn't you say only young people? ”

Rayson chuckled: "He's one, and he's ten of those stunned greens." ”

When he saw Eagle Mountain chopping wood on the top of the mountain, Rayson felt a breath, a breath that only people who had been soldiers and had blood on their hands had. Others may not be aware of it, but Rayson, who is a person of the same kind, feels it keenly.

If you want to fight off the bandits, Eagle Mountain is definitely a good helper. Ashley said at this time: "Uncle...... Do you feel ...... When you're old, maybe you'll be the old man? You really look like that! ”

"Huh?" Rayson unconsciously touched his face. Waiting for yourself to get old? He had never thought about what he would be like when he was old, and he might really be very similar to Eagle Mountain.

But it's more likely to be...... I can't wait for the day when I get old, after all, my time is short, and the tumor in my brain is still deteriorating all the time, and it may die at any time.

Heihachi walked up and said respectfully: "That sir, it's going to be dark now, so you can go to my place to rest tonight." ”

Rayson hesitated for a moment, but shook his head: "No." One more place to go. ”

Pinghachi was puzzled: "Where to go?" ”

"On the mountain."

"Up the hill again?" Ashley and Heping were stunned.

At night, the temperature on the hill plummeted, and the group of three had been waiting here silently for four or five hours. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains and forests is still very large, although it is nothing for Rayson, but for Heihachi and Ashley, it is really a bit difficult.

Heihachi sniffed, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Sir...... What are you going to do when you run up again? ”

Ashley also yawned, full of dissatisfaction: "Yes, uncle, what are you going to do?" It's been going back and forth several times. ”

"Wait for someone."

Rayson's gaze was always fixed in one direction.

Ashley didn't know why: "Who are you waiting for?" ”

"Scouts sent by the bandits." Rayson lowered his voice and said, "Since they are going to attack this village, they will definitely send scouts to keep an eye on the movements inside. Since I didn't see it during the day, I guess I came at night. ”

Rayson was staring in the same direction that he had found before, where someone had left a trace.

Heihachi's face suddenly became nervous, and he vaguely guessed what Rayson was trying to do: "Sir, are you going to ......?"

"In everything, you must prepare with both hands." Lei Sen said coldly: "If none of those stunned youths in your village dare to participate in the resistance, it is better for me to take the initiative, catch their scouts and force them to ask for their gathering place, kill them directly, and clean them up." Save time and effort, and do what you want, not take your materials in vain. ”

As he said this, Rayson looked indifferent, as if he was just mentioning an insignificant matter. But Pingba really felt a sudden burst in his heart when he heard it, Rayson wanted to take the initiative to attack and kill their lair! How bold and capable does this need to be to dare to do such a thing?

Rayson looked at Anderley and Pinghachi, still whispering: "If you are tired, take a rest, but don't make too much noise, don't startle the snake." ”

Ashley had seen Rayson's skills with her own eyes, and she didn't think that Rayson was talking big, so she said as a matter of course: "Then uncle, I'll leave it to you......"

With that, Ashley sat on the ground with her back to a big tree and closed her eyes. Pingba is entangled, and he doesn't know whether he should rest or not.

Only Rayson, always staring in one direction.

After about an hour, Rayson suddenly whispered, "It's coming." ”

A slight strange noise was coming from behind the bushes not far away, and the leaves of the bushes seemed to be swaying, subtlely almost imperceptible......
