Seventy-two, there is no place of peace

The attack came so suddenly that Ashley was so stunned that she forgot to dodge.

Seeing that the shovel was about to hit Ashley's head, a figure came quickly. Ashley felt a gust of wind blow around her, and then the shovel in the villager's hand broke in two, and the man flew out.

None other than Rayson! He rushed up at the last moment, kicked the shovel off, and kicked the lune-like man flying out.

The man flew upside down and knocked down the closest villagers behind him. The other people who were still approaching step by step suddenly stopped and no longer dared to approach.

"Dare to do it! Can't let them go! ”

"Let's go together! There are so many of us! Are you still afraid of the two of them? ”

The villagers were agitated and shouted that Rayson and Ashley would be dismantled.

However, although the shouting and scolding were loud, no one dared to step forward again. The villagers, you push and squeeze, they all want others to be the vanguard, except for the person who was kicked away just now, no one dares to take the lead in making a move against Rayson.

Rayson took the initiative to take a step forward, and at the same time, the villagers also took a step back.

"Oh, rabble." Rayson sneered, looking at the group of villagers in front of him who looked angry but their bodies trembled, and felt disdainful.

Anderley looked nervous, she could sense that there must be some misunderstanding, and she didn't expect Rayson to really fight them; But at the moment, this posture no longer seems to be something she can persuade.

"Wait!"

At this time, a young male voice suddenly came from the field on the side. A young man came out of the field and walked straight to the crowd.

With a face like a crown of jade and a gaze like a torch, it can be seen that the villagers have great respect for this young man, and when he comes, the villagers bow their heads slightly and greet him.

"I think they have nothing to do with that gang of robbers!" The young man said directly.

As soon as these words came out, the villagers were shocked, and their vigilant and suspicious eyes were still looking at Rayson and Ashley.

The guy who was kicked by Rayson just now walked out and stared at the young man: "Heiba, why do you say they're not?" ”

The young man named Heiba said indifferently: "When that group came ten days ago, they picked up people in the car and ran away. If these two people were really in their group, they should have done the same thing, and they wouldn't have stayed in the village for that long. ”

Immediately, Pingba looked at the middle-aged woman holding the child again: "Also, I also saw it just now, it was indeed this gentleman who saved the child." Those guys wouldn't do such a thing, and they did misunderstand them. ”

With Heihachi testifying for Rayson and Anderley, the villagers put down their hoes and shovels. But from their wary eyes, it could be seen that they were still not very welcome to these two strange visitors.

The man who was kicked over was full of gloom, still shaking his head in disbelief: "How could it be? How could they not, obviously this man was also wearing such iron bumps...... If they aren't, then where are my kids going? Who took it away? ”

Pingba stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder rather helplessly: "Uncle, I know that your family is gone, and you are in a hurry." But to say that they are in a gang just because they are wearing the same thing is too arbitrary. I can understand your feelings, haven't you already sent someone out to inquire about the news? They'll come back to tell you if there's news, so go home first. ”

The villagers scattered, and the man didn't say anything more, and left dejectedly. Only then did Rayson notice that the man was lame and limped when he walked. No wonder he didn't go out of the village to find his wife and children, but someone else went out to find out the news.

Pingba walked up to Rayson and Ashley with a polite smile on his face: "Hello two, let me introduce myself, my name is Pinghachi, and my father is the head of this village." I apologize to both of you for your rudeness. ”

No wonder those villagers have so much respect for the young Heipachi, who turned out to be the son of the village chief. I have to say that it is rare to see such a polite person in these years, Ashley was quite surprised, and waved her hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay!" That's not that good......"

Rayson frowned and stared at Heihachi, but after a while, he said coldly: "You have been observing us for a long time, right?" Let's get it straight, what do you want to do? ”

When they came to the well, Rayson had a faint sense that someone was watching them; And Heihachi himself said that he saw Rayson save the child, but he didn't come out to explain when the villagers were in trouble, but waited until someone attacked and was stopped by Rayson, and saw that Rayson was about to fight, so it was too late.

Coupled with his current overly polite attitude, Rayson only felt that he was courteous and holigent, either a traitor or a thief.

Unexpectedly, Pingba didn't panic at all, but chuckled: "This gentleman has good eyesight, I do have something I want to ask you." ”

"Before that, there's a place where I hope you two can go with me, please."

There was not the slightest hint of cunning in Heihachi's eyes, and his words were very sincere. Ashley didn't dare to make a blind decision, and her inquiring eyes turned to Rayson.

Seeing his attitude, Lei Sen suddenly became curious, looking at the situation of those villagers, Lei Sen was not worried about what kind of ambush Ping Hachi wanted to set up for him, probably something really happened.

It's better to go this way.

"Yes."

Rayson nodded, and said yes to Heihachi, and turned around to drive a motorcycle.

"You two, you don't have to drive, you have to walk to get there." Heiba said in a deep voice, and said sincerely: "You can stop the car here." I can vouch for it, no one will move. ”

Rayson thought for a moment, pulled out the car keys, and took Anderley and followed Heihachi.

There was a small hill behind the village, and Heihachi took Rayson and Ashley in that direction.

Thinking of just now, Ashley couldn't help but ask Heihachi curiously: "The 'Iron Monster' that the kid said?" What is it? ”

Heiba sighed helplessly: "About ten days ago, a foreign car rushed into the village, drove very fast, and after stopping, rushed down a few people, picked up a woman and a few children who were on the street at the time, and immediately drove away again. ”

Heihachi said, glanced back at Raisen, and then said, "At that time, someone saw them and was wearing the same equipment as your friend. They were so fast that we didn't have time to stop them, they were already running away. After that, if there are children who play outside and don't come home, the adults will scare them, and if they don't go home, there will be 'iron monsters' who will come and take them away. ”

"Robbing women and children?" Ashley was suddenly surprised: "Who did it?" Slave traders? ”

Heihachi shook his head: "I don't know, but it's not like it." Slave traders generally only targeted lone people, and rarely entered crowded places to take people into captivity. My father had already asked a few young people in the village to go out and ask for news, hoping that they would find out something. ”

When Rayson heard this, he also frowned. Abduction of women and children? Isn't that what the old woman would do? But now that the old woman is dead, even if it is pushed forward for more than ten days, the old woman should still be in Devon City at that time, and the old woman is not wearing an exoskeleton, which means that this is another group of people.

But who would do that? What is their purpose? Could it be that it has something to do with the live experiments conducted by the old woman?

Although Rayson did not say anything, he was also confused. At this time, Heiba shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "But right now, there is another thing that I am anxious about." ”

Heihachi took the two to the top of the hill, where they could see the village in full view: farmland, wells, low bungalows and farm yards, where children and dogs were playing, and there was a sense of peace and tranquility in the sun.

Ashley was stunned. Now that the world has collapsed, it is rare to see such a scenery and such a feeling, and I can't help but praise: "It's so beautiful......"

Rayson glanced at Heihachi, "You brought us here just to let us see this, right?" ”

Heihachi shook his head: "Of course not." It's just that they're all up, so naturally I want you to see it. ”

After speaking, Heihachi's eyes showed inexplicable worry, and he muttered in a low voice, "What if...... I won't be able to see it in the future......"

At this time, Rayson caught a glimpse of a bush next to him, and an area was inexplicably flattened. When I looked at it, I also found a torn compressed biscuit wrapping film.

"Somebody has been here." Rayson picked up the plastic film and said coldly.

Heihachi looked at it, and the worry in his eyes became heavier: "Hmm...... I probably know who it is......"

Immediately, Heihachi turned his head again and walked to the other side of the mountain.

Rayson and Ashley followed Heihachi on, walking for more than forty minutes, to the other side of the hill.

It took another half an hour to descend halfway up the hill, and at this time, Rayson keenly smelled a faint smell of burning in the air.

Not far ahead, I saw another village. But after walking in, everything in front of me made the atmosphere extremely solemn.

This village, apparently, had been looted and slaughtered not long ago. The houses and farmland in the village were all burned by the fire, and the corpses of many villagers had been turned into charred corpses. More than half were burned alive, curled up, limbs bent, mouths wide open, teeth exposed; Even if they are charred corpses, they can still feel the great pain that these people endured before they died.

Among them, there are even a few corpses of children! The people who did all this were obviously extremely ruthless.

Ashley had killed someone, but such a scene was still beyond her ability to bear, and her frightened look lasted for a while, and finally she couldn't help it, leaning over and vomiting.

Rayson unconsciously began to survey the scene; There were stumbling footprints on the ground and horse hoof prints, bullet holes in the facades of burned-out houses, and the bodies of some villagers had penetrating gunshot wounds and severe knife wounds.

After looking at it for a while, Lei Sen said coldly: "There are at least fifty people who did this, some of them were on horseback, and they directly slaughtered the village as soon as they came, without giving the people here a chance to resist." ”

Then, Rayson looked at Heihachi: "What you want us to see, is this?" ”

Heiba nodded, his face solemn: "There are still a few villages nearby, and they are already like this." Now only my village remains. ”

Ashley vomited for a while before she gasped and said in a hoarse voice, "W-Who did that?" So cruel! ”

"It's a gang of bandits." Heihachi sighed: "In previous years, whenever the harvest was time, they would appear and loot several villages near us. We still wanted to resist just now, but we couldn't beat them, so we had to endure it obediently, and handed over most of the food in exchange for safety every time. I don't know what happened this year, they suddenly began to be ruthless, killing all the villagers, stealing the grain, and then burning them all. ”

Heihachi said, sadness in his eyes: "Two days ago, when I heard the gunshots, I didn't feel right, and when I rushed here, those bandits just left, and the fire was still burning. In previous years, after the ransacking of this village, it would be our village's turn in a few days. If you don't stop them, all this will happen. ”

Rayson stared at Heihachi and said in a deep voice, "So, what do you want to do when you brought us here and tell us these things?" ”

Heihachi took a deep breath, turned around and faced Rayson, and with a bend of his knees, he actually knelt in front of Rayson.

"Please! Save my village! Heihachi said in a deep voice to Raisen, and his head slammed down.
