Chapter 823 - Collecting Protection Money
With a brand-new battle body, for a long time, Mu Yang can no longer practice defensive martial arts, which can be regarded as saving a trouble.
In the past few days, Muyang has been cultivating at night, and he hasn't slept well, and it happened that today ended early, Muyang went directly back to the room and fell asleep.
In the city lord's room in the distance, Liang Yuan and his wife witnessed the whole process of Muyang's cultivation, and their hearts couldn't help but be shocked.
Liang Yuan sighed: "When he fought Li Guangqi today, I am afraid that he still hid most of his strength, and Mu Gongzi's strength is unfathomable." ”
"Yes, today he also said that he has only been cultivating for one year, if this is the case, then it is really a genius among geniuses, it is rumored in the world that Falling Moon Valley is the cradle of geniuses, and now when I see it, it is true. ”
"As long as Bai'er can pass the selection, after a year, he may be able to surpass me, if this is the case, it can be regarded as the green smoke of my Liang family's ancestral grave. ”
......
The next day, Muyang woke up in a daze, opened the door after washing, and was ready to breathe fresh air, but as soon as he opened it, he was startled by Lu Jiang, who was standing straight outside the door like a pine tree.
"I'll go, why are you here so early, how long have you been here?"
"Half an hour. ”
This kid is really anxious, he seems to be silent, but he is actually a group of people with strong action.
Mu Yang touched his stomach and asked embarrassedly, "Have you eaten in the morning?"
"Not yet. ”
"That's not good, you haven't cultivated yet, you can't stop eating in the morning, it's not good for your health, go, I'll take you to breakfast, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”
Saying that, Mu Yang pulled Lu Jiang up and walked outside, originally the people in the City Lord's Mansion should have brought breakfast to Mu Yang, but he didn't want to be so special, he still liked to go directly to the back kitchen.
Today's buns are all freshly baked, still hot, and hot porridge, although it is simpler, but Muyang loves to eat, and eats it in a big gulp, which makes the chefs laugh.
But Lu Jiang was eating, but the tears fell down, Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Jiang shook his head vigorously, "I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”
Mu Yang then remembered that just yesterday, he was still a beggar, and his only thought every day was to be able to eat alone, and a hot breakfast had long become a luxury.
Muyang's mood is extremely complicated, this world will always be like this, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
"I'm full, if you eat well, let's go. ”
Lu Jiang drank the last mouthful of porridge, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and immediately got up and nodded to Muyang.
Today, Liang Yuan went out to arrange the affairs of the mission, but there was no one in the house, so Muyang went out of the city directly with Lu Jiang.
"Which direction is Ninghe Village?" Muyang had no impression of this village, and had to be guided by Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang didn't hesitate at all, and directly pointed in a direction, which was the direction he often stared at, the direction of home, but he didn't know, three years later, those thieves were still there.
Muyang found a remote place and released the small motorcycle, "Come, get in the car, sit behind me, and hold it tight." ”
Lu Jiang stood there and looked at this novelty curiously, he might think that this was a good thing that was unique to the world of cultivation, but the truth was that this was a good thing unique to Muyang.
Muyang took Lu Jiang for a ride all the way, this feeling of galloping, Lu Jiang immediately fell in love, and even couldn't help shouting, in this life, he had never felt such a fast speed!
Mu Yang said to him, "In the future, when you go further along the way of martial arts, you can still fly on your own strength! At that time, you can really feel the magic of this world! So after this trip, promise me to practice hard, okay?"
"Okay!" Lu Jiang shouted almost heartbreakingly, this was not what he hoped in his heart.
Not long after, a big river stopped in front of Muyang's eyes, and Lu Jiang pointed to the river and said, "This is the Ning River." ”
Ninghe Village was established along the riverbank, hence the name.
Muyang had already seen a village on the other side of the river from a distance, there were about 100 or so families, surrounded by fertile fields, people came and went in the village, and occasionally children chased and played, which was far from the place ruled by the bandits in Muyang's mind, "Look at it like this, it seems that the village has regained its vitality?"
Lu Jiang's face became heavy, could it be that the enemy was no longer there?
Mu Yang put away the small motorcycle, took Lu Jiang to display the Seven Star Soul Chasing Electricity, easily stepped across the Ning River, and came to the opposite bank, "Are you ready to go in?"
"Hmm. ”
Coming here, Lujiang has become very complicated, every inch of land here is so familiar, but unfortunately things are not people.
He walked in the field like a machine, recalling the scenes of the year, and Muyang followed him quietly, not disturbing this tranquility.
Before they knew it, they had entered the village, and the villagers here felt very kind, and when they saw these two "strangers", they were also very enthusiastic and smiled, and children would play around them.
At this time, Mu Yang saw a smile on Lu Jiang's face for the first time, it was an innocent smile, without any hatred, without any sorrow.
This scene is very beautiful.
However, what puzzled Muyang was that there was a big bag of rice in front of every house.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead!
"Come into the house!
"Kids, hide!
"Two sons, come in and hide!"
Before Muyang and Lu Jiang could react, they were dragged into the next room by an old woman's arm, and in the blink of an eye, the village that was still lively just now was empty, and the doors and windows were closed.
Mu Yang was puzzled, so he asked, "What is the Village Alliance?"
The old woman leaned on the door and looked out through the crack in the door, and whispered to Muyang: "They are a group of bullies, and they will come to collect protection money every half a month." ”
"Protection money?"
"Yes, this rice is the protection fee. ”
Muyang suddenly realized, it turned out that these were filial piety to the village alliance.
Lu Jiang pulled down the old woman's sleeve and asked, "Who are you, wasn't there no one here before?"
"Oh, we've only been here for two years, our own village was flooded, so we moved here, I didn't expect these bullies to bully us here, relying on martial arts to bully us, in order to live, there is no way, there must be a place to live, right?"
At this time, Mu Yang saw more than a dozen big men outside, who were not good people at first glance, and their clothes were untidy, and they were extremely arrogant.
"It's them!" Suddenly, Lu Jiang's eyes were blood-red, and he almost roared.
Mu Yang narrowed his eyes, turned his head and asked, "Are you sure?"
