"Nope."

What Heihachi didn't expect was that Rayson refused almost without thinking about it: "I still have things to do, so I don't have time to waste time with you." ”

Ping Hachi was stunned, and said without giving up: "No, I won't waste too much of your time, the traces you found on the mountain just now must have been left by the scouts sent by the bandits, according to the past habits, at most in five days, they will ......"

"Do you want me to stay in your village and help you get rid of the bandits when the time comes?"

Heihachi nodded like pounded garlic.

Rayson was obviously impatient, and said coldly: "Do you think that if you block this time, you will be safe?" ”

Heiba was a little confused: "That...... Without them, we wouldn't be ......."

"Your real problem is not that you are targeted by bandits, but that you are too weak." Rayson sneered: "Even if there is no bandit this time, there will be a next time, without them, there may be other people who will continue to bully you and plunder your food and materials when the time comes." ”

Heiba's face suddenly became solemn: "That...... So what exactly do we do? ”

"Let's move away." Rayson said expressionlessly: "Move to another place, a little more remote, preferably a place where no one can find out, then you still have a chance to live." ”

Hearing this, Pingba immediately shook his head: "No." I proposed this, but the old people in the village were reluctant to move, and some of them had livestock, so it was difficult to move with them. What's more, it is difficult for us to survive without the fields here. ”

"Then fend for yourselves." After Rayson finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and walked on the road back and forth.

Anderley looked at the tragic situation around her, hesitated for a moment, and then went over and grabbed Rayson: "Uncle, you can help them." If you don't help them, things like this will still happen, and you can't bear to watch them die? ”

Rayson's expression did not change in the slightest: "I told you, don't be too kind, in this era, kindness is the most extravagant and useless thing. ”

As he spoke, Rayson glanced at Heihachi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "The real problem is not those bandits at all, but themselves. They are too weak. ”

"To be weak is the original sin."

After saying that, Rayson grabbed Ashley's wrist with his backhand, and pulled her with him without saying anything, not giving Heihachi a chance to plead at all.

Pinghachi is face like ashes, slowly getting up, and following behind in despair.

By the time they had crossed the hill and reached the top of the hill, it was already evening. The village has a different kind of tranquility and beauty in the sunset.

It's just that this kind of beauty may not last long.

Rayson's eyes noticed a certain direction in the village, in a small courtyard, an old man was chopping wood, his movements were swift and powerful, if it were not for his gray hair, it would not be obvious that it was an old man.

Back at the village's fields and wells, Rayson's Harley-Davidson was parked there. However, there are also the child who was rescued by Rayson just now, the middle-aged woman, and a dog led by the child.

As soon as Rayson approached, the stout black-backed dog barked at Rayson, almost breaking free from the child's leash.

"Wang! Woof! ”

Rayson frowned, glaring at the stout black-backed dog. Inexplicably, the dog seemed to sense the great danger, and immediately stopped barking, wilted his head and shrank behind the child.

They seem to be waiting for Rayson right there. The middle-aged woman saw Rayson appear, holding a basket of fruits, and walked over with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now and misunderstood you." This brings some fruit grown in your own yard and apologizes to you, don't dislike it. ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Lei Sheng was happy or not, the woman directly stuffed a basket of fruits into Lei Sen's arms, and turned her head to look at the child: "Come on, thank you uncle, thank you for saving you." ”

The child was timid, and pulled the black quilt dog up, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Rayson.

"Thank you...... Uncle Monster ......"

Rayson was a little confused, and Ashley on the side snorted, almost holding back her laughter.

Rayson was a little stunned as he watched the woman leave with the child; The back of the little child greets the sunset, leading the dog, and walking farther and farther......

But what came to Rayson's mind was the charred corpses of children in the village on the other side of the mountain......

Ashley was held by Rayson and couldn't break free, but she still didn't give up: "Uncle, don't be so stingy." You see that people have apologized to you, so you can help them......"

Heiba walked relatively slowly, and only then did he slowly follow. Seeing that Rayson and Ashley were next to the motorcycle, he felt that they were leaving, and said dejectedly, "Sorry to disturb your time......

"I'll take this from you."

Coldly, Rayson suddenly said this, and Heiba and Anderley were stunned for a moment. For them, Rayson's mind changed without warning, and both were a little suspicious of their ears.

Ping Ba looked incredulous, and asked tentatively, "You, what you said is true?" ”

"But, it's not free for me to help you do things." Rayson said expressionlessly, "You have to pay for it." I need water, food, and gasoline for at least five or six days. ”

Heiba didn't shirk it, and immediately nodded: "Okay!" No problem, as long as you can help us fend off the bandits, these are small things. ”

Although this village is not large, if the bandits are eliminated, there is no problem in taking out this little material.

Seeing that Heihachi agreed, Rayson didn't talk nonsense, let go of Ashley and went to hold the motorcycle instead: "Find me a place first and park the car." ”

"Then go to my house!"

Heihachi took Raison to his yard. There was an old man in the courtyard, thin and thin, looking like a withered tree, and he didn't have much of a good face when he saw the strange Rayson and Ashley.

"Heihachi...... Why did you bring a stranger again? ”

The old man directly scolded Pinghachi, who explained: "They are the people I invited to help our village defend against the bandits. This time, the village relied on them for help. ”

"Really?" The old man glanced at Rayson and Ashley, his eyes were full of doubt and unease, and said to Pingba: "Or ...... Forget it. Let's give them more food this time, maybe they'll let it go......"

"Father!" Pingba couldn't help it, and raised his voice twice: "Several nearby villages have been slaughtered by them!" How long will you still have illusions? We've been bullied by them for so many years! It's time to change all that! ”

"But, but, ......" The old man obviously still hesitated, but Heihachi no longer had the patience to argue with him, seeing that Rayson had already pushed the Harley motorcycle into the yard and parked it, he asked him directly: "Sir, what are you going to do?" Is there anything I can help you with? ”

Rayson glanced at the old man, and then at Heihachi, who was most respectful of himself. He can also see that although Pinghachi's father is the village head, in fact, it is Pingba who is really doing things for the village.

Rayson didn't care if the old man liked him, and said directly: "I can't do this alone, I need help." First of all, I will gather you here, and all the men who can run, jump, and fight will come out, and gather all the things that can be used as weapons, and gather them all at the well just now. ”

Pingba was puzzled, but immediately nodded: "I'll do it right away." ”

“…… Wait a minute! ”

Suddenly, Lei Sen called Ping Ba again and admonished: "Don't tell them what to do, gather people and weapons first." ”

Heiba was still puzzled, but he still nodded and said, "I know." ”

Immediately, Heihachi took out a loudspeaker from the inner room and ran out of the village shouting: "Everyone! Let all the men of your family come out! Let's go to the well! ”

Rayson glanced at the old man, and when the old man saw Rayson's eyes, he was suddenly shocked, and quickly twisted his head away, not daring to meet Rayson's gaze.

"Heh......"

Rayson scoffed, and left the yard with Anderley, walking slowly in the direction of the well.

It was only at this time that Ashley had a chance to ask, "Uncle, what did you ask him to call someone for?" ”

“…… As I said, the real problem with these people is that they are too weak, not too powerful. Even if I can help them stop this trouble, they may encounter new crises in the future, and if they don't know how to resist, the result of destruction and slaughter will still be inevitable in the future. ”

After hearing this, Ashley's face showed worry: "That...... So what to do? ”

"Let them all be involved in the fight against this trouble." Rayson said in a deep voice: "Let them survive from kneeling to surviving on their own feet." ”

Rayson and Ashley waited by the well for a while, and gradually, dozens of young men gathered. When Pingba also finished pulling the last person to run over, the scene was added together, and there were already nearly 100 people.

The things that were collected and could be used as weapons were also piled up on the ground next to them.

As Rayson expected, there were basically nothing decent here, most of them were some farm tools, shovels, rakes, pickaxes, better ones, sickles and axes, and a few simple bows and arrows.

Rayson didn't have many weapons of his own, a revolver and exoskeleton shoulder cannon, the only spear was reserved for Ashley's self-defense, and there were not many bullets left, so it was impossible to evenly distribute them to them.

Ashley looked at the broken copper and iron all over the ground, and her head was full of black lines: "Uncle...... If they only have these things, how can they fight with others? ”

Rayson was silent, but his face was obviously not very good, and after a while, he hooked his fingers again and called Heihachi to his side: "You tell me about the number of those bandits, weapons and so on." ”

Heihachi recalled carefully, and then said, "They ...... There were about forty or fifty people, a third of whom were on horseback, and you had this kind of equipment on you, they didn't have it. They have guns, though. ”

"A lot of guns?"

Heihachi nodded: "A lot, everyone has it." ”

Rayson was silent again for a long time before asking, "Then do they have a fixed place to stay?" ”

Heiba shook his head: "I don't know, usually they loot food and supplies, and they will leave quickly, and I don't see them staying anywhere." ”

Hearing this, Rayson's face showed disappointment, and he glanced at the pile of guys next to him. With these things alone, not to mention defending against gun-wielding bandits, it can be difficult to deal with a few wild dogs.

At this time, the people who were called by Heihachi were a little impatient. Until now, Pingba still didn't say what they were asked to do, and they complained one after another.

"Heihachi, what are you calling us for?"

"yes, my wife wants me to go back to cooking. Tell me something! ”

Heihachi looked at Rayson inquiringly, and Rayson nodded slightly, signaling that he could speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let you come, there is indeed one thing." Heiba stood in front of everyone and said in a deep voice: "One thing, related to the life and death of our village. ”

"As you know, in previous years, our village was often infested by bandits, and every time it was time for the harvest, they would come and take most of our food, so we often had to go hungry."

"But this year, it's different!"

"These two will help us resist those bandits! Keep our food ......"

Before Pingba finished speaking, the villagers shouted first.

"Just the two of them? Okay! Heihachi, don't you be deceived? ”

"Is there such a good thing? What do they want? There's no way you're going to help us for free, right? ”

"Does it really have to be like this? What if those people are? Won't it be more troublesome then? ”

The villagers say a word to me, but without exception, no one is optimistic about Rayson and Pingba, and they don't think they can defend against the bandits; What's more, it is suspected that Rayson and Anderley, two outsiders, have other plans.

Seeing this, Ashley didn't know what to do, and looked at Rayson at a loss.

Rayson pushed away Pinghachi, who was also anxious, cleared his throat, and then, with a cold drink.

"It's all quiet!"

The voice carried an incomparable evil aura, a kind of noisy villagers, who immediately did not dare to make any more noise.

Lei Sen glanced at everyone and continued in a cold voice: "Pingba said that he missed a little, it's not me who is here to help you defend against the bandits, it's you and me, we, to do this." Everyone in the room, all of you have to participate! ”

"What?"

"How is this possible? I can't do it! ”

"I can't do it, I twisted my foot two days ago!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I was injured the other day and I can't do it! ”

As soon as Rayson finished speaking, the group of young men in front of them began to prevaricate, they still thought that what Pingba said Rayson and Ashley had nothing to do with them to resist the bandits.

It wasn't until this time that Heihachi understood that when Rayson asked him to call people at the beginning, he didn't say what he was going to do. When these villagers heard that they were going to confront the bandits, they first felt fear, and then they wanted to shirk it, and none of them dared to take such a risk.

Rayson sneered, he had expected this to be the case, and waited for the villagers to argue for a while before he continued to speak: "I know, none of you want to die, none of you want to take risks. Then you can not be involved in this matter and wait for them to come. ”

"Wait for them, come and steal your food! Insult your wife, mother, and daughter! Then he slaughtered you like pigs and dogs, and burned your houses and fields to charred with a fire! ”
