Volume 1 A Small Mountain Village in the Cracks Chapter 31 The Valley River Tragedy
The steep path from Lijia Village to Sangu Village is about two or three miles long, and below the mountain road is a cliff more than 100 zhang deep, and a small river rushes under the cliff. The creek is not deep, only two or three meters, but it is quite rapid.
There is no place to rest on the trail, so you can only go all the way when you step on the trail.
In such a dangerous situation, even Li Laosan did not dare to be careless, even if he had the strength of the True Martial Realm, he would only die if he fell off the cliff.
Fortunately, among these 100,000 mountains, such steep mountain roads are not uncommon, and the villagers have long been accustomed to them. Although this is the only one that is so long, most of them have not walked it, but it is not dangerous to walk slowly.
When Li Laosan left Lijia Village with everyone, it was just midnight, but when he arrived outside Guhou Village, it was already early hour.
It stands to reason that there should be smoke curling in Guhou Village at this time, but when they arrived, they didn't see a wisp of green smoke, and the village didn't even seem to have a trace of popularity.
Li Laosan did not let everyone enter the village immediately, but observed outside for more than half an hour, and then led everyone to enter Guhou Village cautiously.
The village behind the valley was empty, let alone a person, except for two or three earth dogs hiding in the horns, there was no living thing to be found.
Li Laosan did not rush to Guhe Village immediately, even if the moonlight in the middle of the month was extremely bright, but after all, it was night, most of these people in Lijia Village were ordinary people, and their eyesight would be much worse, and the power of the crossbow would be greatly reduced.
After resting in Guhou Village for the night, they left Guhou Village after breakfast the next day.
In April, the mountains are already full of green flowers, and the early morning sun shines on the mountain paths, and the wildflowers are particularly bright. The birds stand on the branches and sing crisply, and the insects hide in the grass and sing in low chorus.
Zhang Cheng's mood at this time is like the beautiful scenery in the early morning, beautiful, comfortable and splendid.
When passing by the gate of Waran Village, the little minions guarding the door and Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Yo, Zhang Jiaotou is in a good mood today?"
Zhang Chengzhi nodded proudly, and walked through the gate with his head held high, which was completely different from the bow of his head and waist that he had just arrived at the foot of Valan Mountain a few days ago.
How could he not be proud?
Originally, Zhang Cheng planned to ask to see that acquaintance, but a few days ago, he accidentally lived in Valan Village, and last night he met the big boss in Valan Village, and had a barbecue with the big boss.
Zhang Cheng's barbecue is really good, and he is very smart, so he was praised by the big boss.
Then on the opportunity to eat, Zhang Cheng finally told the big boss about the situation in Lijia Village, and the big boss obviously attached great importance to this matter, and even gave him an accurate word.
"yes, got it!"
Don't underestimate such a sentence, how many people can't hear it when they beg for it!
No, no matter how many people want to say a word to the big boss, they can't say anything! Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's mood is a little better, and his steps are a little brisker.
I can brag about it again when I go back.
Well, we have to let the head of Guhe Village take out the fine wine that has been treasured for ten years and treat himself as a meritorious person! Also, the head of Guhou Village is dead, he has no son, and that uncompetitive son-in-law is not a material for martial arts, and it is a waste to keep those resources he treasures, so it is better to give them to himself.
Zhang Cheng was obscene with the expressions of surprise and envy on his face after everyone heard that he had eaten with the big boss, and walked towards Sangu Village at a faster speed.
Guqian Village is located at the exit of the valley and is the closest to it, and Zhang Weiwei is the head of Guqian Village, so he went to Guqian Village first.
Not a single villager at the entrance of Guqian Village saw him, and no one saw him, so how could anyone come to welcome him? Therefore, as soon as he entered the village, Zhang Cheng shouted loudly, but even though he shouted from the head of the village to the end of the village, and from the east of the village to the west of the village, he still did not see a single person.
I didn't even hear the scolding of women, the crying of babies, or the hearty laughter of men, except for two or three dogs.
Zhang Cheng was slightly puzzled, no matter what happened on weekdays, the elderly and infant children in the village with inconvenient legs and feet would always be at home, and the mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law of these people at home would not be able to go out. But why is there no movement today?
Zhang Cheng hesitated slightly, pushed open the door of the neighbor's house, the door was not locked, and there were even freshly washed vegetables and freshly washed rice in the yard, obviously in a hurry.
He pushed open the doors of a dozen or so houses, but still couldn't meet a single person.
"Isn't it...... Did Lijia Village really call?" Zhang Cheng hurriedly ran back to his house, put all the silver coins hidden in the brick cracks on his body, and then went to the silver treasury in the village to see if there was any silver money.
But the treasury is now empty, and there is not even a copper plate left.
Zhang Cheng sighed, and became more and more sure that Li Jiacun did it, otherwise how could there not be a single copper plate left in the silver treasury?
After leaving the silver vault, Zhang Cheng only hesitated, and immediately left the boundary of Sangu Village and went to Waran Village.
As for Guhe Village and Guhou Village, Zhang Cheng didn't even want to look at it. Even Guqian Village is gone, will Lijia Village let go of the other two villages?
Not long after Zhang Cheng left, the villagers of Guqian Village returned in droves.
The men pulled more than 20 carts and drove two ox carts, except for the one in front, the rest of the carts and ox carts were full of elderly people and children with limited mobility.
Women walk last, holding or carrying their children.
At the front of the crowd were the head of Tanimae Village and the old head of the previous village.
"This Lijia Village is really weird, blocking us all in Guhe Village, just to get back their money? What is this picture?" The old village chief didn't quite understand what Lijia Village was doing.
Lijia Village sent 50 people to drive all the villagers of their three villages to Guhou Village. But when they arrived with the silver and all the supplies in the village, Li Laosan's kid didn't take a penny, only took the eight hundred taels of silver that belonged to them, and the baskets of similar medicinal herbs that had been ruined.
Of course, for the herbs that were spoiled, Li Laosan made them pay three times the compensation. As for the 1,000 taels of silver that he lost in the previous bet, Li Laosan's kid didn't even mention it.
But those herbs are only a few taels of silver? Two or three hundred taels per day, even if it is three times the compensation, it is only six or seven hundred taels. How much money did the three of them have combined? That's more than four thousand taels!
Don't put four thousand taels away, just for the eight hundred taels of silver and some medicinal herbs? Of course, the old village chief also asked, who wouldn't want to lose less?
But Li Laosan is really a ruthless stubble! At the thought of Li Laosan, the old village chief suddenly shuddered.
That kid is really ruthless!
When Li Laosan arrived in Guhe Village, the villagers of Sangu Village had not yet returned to their respective villages, and they were still living in Guhe Village.
After arriving there, Li Laosan challenged the head of Guhe Village without saying a word. Of course, Li Laosan did not have the habit of bullying the weak, he was the head of Guhe Village who challenged with his own hands bound, and allowed all the Yuan Qi Realms of Sangu Village to go together.
It stands to reason that the arms of the head of Guhe Village were cut off, and the combat power should be greatly damaged, even if the four Yuan Qi Realm powerhouses in Sangu Village are added, they should not be Li Laosan's opponents. But no one expected that the strength of the head of Guhe Village was not all in the tiger head knife, but more in those legs.
This Guhe Village Sect Leader actually has an extremely powerful leg technique, so Li Laosan was injured a lot as soon as he came up.
"The third child!"
"Third brother!"
Seeing that the head of his own sect was injured as soon as he came up, where were the dogs and the others willing to do it? I saw that they took out their crossbows and shot a round of fierce fire.
Although there were only fifty people in Lijia Village, the speed of the repeating crossbow could now reach the level of three breaths and thirteen arrows, and under one round of shots, two of the three Yuan Qi Realm people died immediately. If it weren't for the quick escape of the head of Guqian Village, I am afraid that he would have become a hedgehog.
"Li Laosan, is this what you are talking about?" The head of Guhe Village sneered while dodging: "Everyone says that you Li Laosan is a man, and I don't think that's it!"
Li Laosan didn't expect the head of Guhe Village to have such good leg skills, and he was injured carelessly, but this also aroused his desire to win, only to see him grinning and said: "Fuck me to stop!
As soon as Goudan and the others heard this, they all shuddered, and immediately stopped shooting. As long as Li Laosan says it, he really dares to do this!
So in the next step, whether it was Sangu Village or Lijia Village, no one intervened in the battle between the two again.
I have to say that the leg skills of the head coach of Guhe Village are very good, and the two fought for more than ten rounds, and Li Laosan was kicked out more than ten times.
After Li Laosan stood up and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood on the ground, he rushed to the head of Guhe Village again. This time he didn't defend again, and since he couldn't prevent it, he fought for his life with injuries.
He didn't pay any attention to the kick that the head of Guhe Village kicked to his heart, but kicked the other party's waist and eyes. It stands to reason that Li Laosan, who shot later, should be kicked away, but Li Laosan is much more burly than the other party, and his legs are longer than the other party, so he can sweep out the head of Guhe Village with one kick the moment he is kicked away.
This is the first time Li Laosan has hit the other party since the battle.
Although Li Laosan said that he tied his arms, his arms were still there after all, and he could borrow a little strength when he turned over, but the head of Guhe Village was different. If he lies on the ground, it is fine, but if he lies on the ground, it will take him half a day to just stand up.
Therefore, in the next dozens of rendezvous, Li Laosan gradually gained the upper hand, and finally after more than 100 rendezvouses, the head of Guhe Village could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
Although Li Laosan used the method of exchanging injuries for injuries, his leg method did not enter the opponent after all, so after the head of Guhe Village fell, Li Laosan also fell.
After the people in Guhe Village saw that their sect leader was beaten to death by Li Laosan, they rushed to Li Laosan who fell to the ground and smirked like crazy, but they forgot that there were dogs and others behind Li Laosan, as well as fifty repeating crossbows.
Thinking of the villagers who were sent to death in Guhe Village, the old village chief suddenly pouted.
Those guys are really stupid, the first round of shooting in Lijia Village has avoided the vital point, obviously you don't plan to kill, you guys are still a fart. What happened in the end? You rushed to Li Laosan's side in front of everyone in the Li family, and you successfully stabbed him twice, but so what? People didn't die, but you died.
As soon as he thought of this, the old village chief felt that he was too wise and powerful, if he hadn't stopped the head of Guqian Village and didn't let him come by his temperament, I'm afraid that now Guqian Village would be the same as that group of short-sighted guys.
The old village chief thought that he was the one with a long-term vision, but he didn't know that he was really short-sighted, at least in the eyes of the village chief. At this time, the head of Guqian Village's brows had already been twisted into Sichuan characters, and he looked back at the villagers who seemed to have lost their souls from time to time, wanting to say something to boost morale, but the words he thought of were inappropriate when he came to his lips.
After today's events, it is impossible for Sangu Village to twist into a rope as before, and the children of Guhe Village will never be willing to follow Tanimae Village anymore.
And how similar is today's Guqian Village to the original Lijia Village?
This old village chief is really ...... I'm as confused as ever, just like when I broke off contact with Yuhuang Ao!
Maybe if you are destroyed, Sangu Village will be able to return to its former peace, and the backbone of Guqian Village will be able to stand up again, right?
Thinking of this, the village chief of Guqian Village suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were full of vicious light.
