Chapter 525: Helping the Villagers
Several of the villagers passed out. And those who did not faint looked at him with horror on their faces.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I will compensate for destroying everyone's food. ”
Lin Xi said with a smile, and after the little guy recovered his true life, he turned into a cute chubby penguin, which was very likable, and the hearts of the villagers were no longer as panicked as they were at the beginning.
Lin Xi walked over to a few villagers who had already fainted, and helped them enter a true element, which slowly woke them up.
What these villagers didn't know was that Lin Xi used the essence of life essence, which not only helped them wake up, but also made their bodies stronger by the way.
Of course, Lin Xi didn't have that habit of saying it in front of the villagers, just to make the villagers grateful to him.
Then, Lin Xi took out a thousand gold coins and handed them to the village chief.
This money is enough to compensate the villagers for their losses.
In the end, Lin Xi walked to the side of the dead pterosaur, exerted his fighting spirit, directly hugged the head of the pterosaur, and dragged the hundred-meter-long pterosaur out of the field and pulled it to the villagers' sunning flat.
"Dragon meat is delicious and nourishing to the body, so don't worry about eating it. ”
The villagers were grateful.
First compensated for the gold coins, and then gave away dragon meat, Lin Xi's actions undoubtedly made the villagers not be dissatisfied with Lin Xi again, on the contrary, the villagers admired Lin Xi's personality very much.
At this time, the village chief walked up.
"Hero, your strength is really high, and the dragons have been killed by you. ”
"Village Chief, you've won the prize. Lin Xi smiled and said modestly.
The village chief waved his hand and said, "The hero is too modest, we have never seen such a skill as the hero, everyone said yes?" After speaking, the village chief asked the villagers next to him.
Everyone said yes in unison.
Lin Xi was a little puzzled why the village chief said this.
Soon, however, Lin Xi understood the true purpose of the village chief's words.
"Daxia, I know that you are a good person, and you have superb skills, can you trouble Daxia to solve a problem for our village?"
At this time, the villagers who had already understood that they had come over also gathered around and echoed one after another.
Lin Xi finally understood, it was too opportune for him to appear in this village, and the villagers hoped to use his skills to solve a matter that seemed troublesome to the villagers themselves.
Looking at everyone's earnest faces, Lin Xi wanted to refuse but couldn't bear it, although he really couldn't wait to return to Chulin Academy and save An Lina.
"Village chief, can you tell me what is going on?"
The village chief briefly recounted the matter.
Lynsey quickly understood.
It turned out that it was another case of villagers being forcibly dragged to mine.
Inside the village, there is a large river, and on the other side of the river, there is a spiritual stone mine.
Lingshi mines are very profitable, so the villagers will always go there to dig pits to earn some expenses when they are not working.
In the past, mine owners would still pay villagers at the agreed price.
But a week ago, I heard that the mine suddenly changed owners, and the villagers' wages were deducted from last month.
The villagers are naturally angry, they have worked hard for a month, and after changing the owner of the mine, their hard-earned money is gone, how can there be any reason for this in the world?
So, after several fruitless negotiations, the villagers returned to the village and began to think of a solution.
At first, he wanted to ask the government for help, but then he realized that the government and the owner of the mine were the same and didn't take the villagers' demands seriously.
Then, the villagers had to organize more than a dozen strong men to go to the other side of the river a day ago, hoping to get back their hard-earned money, but they had been gone all day, and they had not returned.
The village chief thought that they were detained by the mine owner, so he wanted to ask Lin Xi for help, after all, there were many opponents in the mine, and if the villagers went again, they would only be detained by the black-hearted mine owner.
After hearing this, Lin Xi felt that this was not a difficult thing, after all, this thing was not like the black-hearted mine that happened in the Sunset Mountain, wantonly driving people to mine day and night, until they were tired and sick and could not get out, and after entering, they could only stay in the dark mine for the rest of their lives.
"Okay, I promise you. ”
Lynsey replied very dryly.
Then, Lin Xi and the villagers came up with a solution.
It is not a good idea to rush directly to the mine, after all, Lin Xi does not know what kind of person the owner of the mine is, what if the matter starts to get big and the mine owner suddenly threatens the detained villagers? There are a total of twelve men who have been detained, and Lin Xi cannot guarantee that they will be out of danger at the first time.
So, Lynsey decided to pretend to be a villager and go to the mine with another villager.
After discussing the plan, Lin Xi and the villager went to the river and got on a wooden boat.
To Lin Xi's slight surprise, when the wooden boat docked and arrived at the mine, there was already a large group of people standing by the mine, led by a middle-aged fat man, who was smiling happily and looking kind.
It seems that the two villagers are welcome to discuss things.
"Don't move later, just follow me. Lin Xi whispered to the villagers around him.
Lin Xi had already seen that the twelve villagers who came before must have been detained, but he was afraid that he would be the same, and Lin Xi would not take the lead until he saw the twelve people.
Lynsey glanced at the others. Standing closely behind the middle-aged fat man is a burly and sturdy strong man, with a large board head, and his stubby black hair standing up, looking very energetic, but the strong man's particularly eye-catching place is still on his face. A shocking scar stretched from the cheekbones to the corners of the mouth, adding a bit of domineering and ruthlessness to this already fierce man.
"Let's go, you two, the mine owner is waiting for you to discuss things. The middle-aged fat man said with a smile.
"What about the villagers who came yesterday?" asked Linsey without moving.
"They're still talking to the mine owner, don't you know, the mine owner happened to be not in the mine yesterday, and he only came back this morning, so I didn't want you two to come until I saw the villagers just now, so let's go together, the mine owner will give you a satisfactory explanation." ”
Lin Xi sneered, how could the mine owner leave the mine at this time, and invite the villagers to discuss, it was obviously a lie, but Lin Xi also knew that if he didn't agree, the other party was afraid that he would use force, so it was better to follow and see what was going on.
Lin Xi's expression was calm, and he followed behind the people who were also wearing short sleeves, and walked towards the mine, although he was tall and strong, he did not bother to eye.
What catches your eye is an artificial pit covering an area of nearly 100 acres, although it is not deep, but the walls around it have been dug out of nearly 100 holes of different sizes, even in the middle of the hot sun, you can still only see that the hole is a black piece, I don't know how deep it is.
Surrounding the pit were irregular rows of houses, ranging from low bungalows to tall whitewashed high-rises, and on each side of the pit there was a tower, on which stood two well-armed men, watching the miners coming in and out of the hole.
Lin Xi "chuckled" in his heart, and said in his heart: "It seems that the villagers are not detained, but have entered the wolf's den." ”
Suddenly, a crisp "clang" sound came from behind, and Lin Xi turned his head to look, and found that the thick iron door that was still wide open just now was now tightly closed.
Sure enough, it's a sheep in the tiger's mouth!
