Volume 1 A Small Mountain Village in the Cracks Chapter 16 The Changing Tide

Li Laosan stood opposite them, opening his arms without saying a word, neither speaking nor dodging.

"Li Laosan, do you really think that Lao Tzu will not dare to kill you?"

"If you hadn't stopped that person in the first place, how could our village have fallen into such a situation?" The person who spoke was a member of the hunting team who had been with Li Laosan for seven or eight years, a Golden Body Realm martial artist, and he was half of his apprentice.

After this person finished speaking, all the villagers pointed at Li Laosan with crossbows, as if they were going to pull the trigger and shoot Li Laosan into a hedgehog in the next moment.

Li Laosan raised his head and looked at the person who spoke, his eyes were first stunned and surprised, then turned into confusion, and finally became disdainful. I saw him laugh wildly for a while, and then suddenly sighed helplessly.

It's just that even so, Li Laosan still didn't speak.

Most of the people in the hunting party knew about the original incident, and the person who spoke was one of those who knew about it. In all fairness, even if there is no Tang Yi, the hypothetical messenger will still die in Lijia Village, and he will still be sent to Waran Village by Lijia Village, the difference is that the people of Lijia Village will do it themselves, or Yuhuangao will help them.

From the moment the false messenger stepped into Lijia Village, a master of Yuhuangao appeared in the threshing floor and told Li Laosan that either they would do it themselves in Lijiacun or Yuhuangao would help them. If Yu Huangao did it, it would not be possible to say that if the messenger was ruthless, he would die with dozens of villagers.

Li Laosan is not a person who admits defeat, if someone hadn't stopped him at the beginning, even if he died with the people of Yuhuang Ao, he would not have used Yuhuang Ao as a knife. And among the people who stopped Li Laosan and asked him to agree to the conditions of Yuhuangao, there was the person who spoke just now.

Or rather, of the forty or fifty people who were present with crossbows pointed at him, at least a dozen of them stopped him and begged him.

It's just because Lijia Village can't afford to provoke Yuhuangao!

And today, they actually pointed a crossbow at themselves and pushed everything to themselves.

Li Laosan can't blame them, but he is just a little disappointed. Disappointment, not only for these men who have followed their birth and death, but also for themselves.

Why didn't he, Li Laosan, have the intention of borrowing the bath to break his wrist with Valan Village, otherwise how could he have asked Tang Yi to help transform the crossbow in the first place? If he didn't have this thought, how could he be disappointed after going to the bath phoenix pass today, and he didn't say hello when he saw Tang Yi?

Thinking of this, Li Laosan gently untied the sleeveless suit on his body, threw the clothes on the ground, still stretched out his arms, and looked at the big men with expressionless faces.

It means 'Come on, Lao Tzu is here!'

The lame clan elder who was originally drinking with Li Lao probably felt the strange atmosphere, and saw him holding an empty wine bowl in one hand and a wine jar in the other, limping and staggering towards Li Laosan and the others.

The lame old leg script is inconvenient, and at this time he is a little drunk again, and he is staggering when he stands there, as if a gust of wind can blow him down.

"I ...... I said, hiccup~ I said...... This...... It's dry...... What are you doing!Hiccup~" He choked with wine in his mouth, and his tongue curled and intermittently, and he burped a few times before he finished a sentence.

"What...... Why do you still take it off...... Take it off?" the lame clan elder leaned over to pick up the clothes that Li Laosan had thrown on the ground, but when he lowered his head, he fell unsteadily to the ground, if he hadn't hugged him tightly, the wine jar would have almost shattered.

After getting up with Li Laosan's clothes, the lame clan elder was not in a hurry to return the clothes to Li Laosan, but first took the wine jar and looked at it carefully, before muttering: "I almost broke it, it's a pity to break it." ”

Probably because he fell and was frightened, the lame old man finally stopped stammering, he threw his clothes to Li Laosan, and said: "Although it is April, but the spring cold is the most hurtful, how can you say that you can take it off?"

"You too, if you don't take it off, don't take it off, why don't you force San'er to take off your clothes? And point it with a stick, why do you want my old guy to take it off too?" The lame old man staggered towards the villagers and pushed away the crossbow in their hands.

"When you beat you young, you love to bully San'er, now that San'er is older, he has worshiped the master, if you bully him again, when San'er learns martial arts, I will beat you one by one!"

"A group of little fart dolls, Mao'er has not yet grown up to learn to fight!" After saying that, the lame old man fell to the ground, and in a moment the sound of snoring spread throughout the threshing floor.

Everyone looked at each other, the youngest of them was already in their twenties, and the eldest was already fifty years old.

"Drunk?" asked one of them in a whisper.

"It should be. ”

The man snorted at Li Laosan and Tang Yi, and then asked, "What should I do?"

Everyone shook their heads, and finally looked at Li Shi. The reason why Li Shi scolded Tang Yi before was just because he was too sad and felt hopeless, but now he saw the scene of killing each other in the same village, and saw the farce of the lame clan, and he was tired when he was sober.

"What are you going to do, aren't you tired, go home!" After Li Shi finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Yi lightly, then raised his feet and left. There was no resentment in his eyes, but there was no gratitude or understanding, as if he were looking at a stranger.

After everyone carried the lame clan elder and walked away, Tang Yi pulled Li Laosan and asked.

It turned out that Li Laosan and others were not without gains, in fact, they did not gain a lot. During the nearly month of hunting, they hunted and killed a total of five second-order demon beasts and one third-order demon beast. When hunting the second-order demon beast, because Li Laosan was fighting beside him, he was not dead, but the third-order demon beast died twenty-eight times before he took it.

Because the casualties were too heavy and everyone was tired, everyone returned.

They first went to Blackwater Village to deal with their prey.

Although there are differences in the strength of demon beasts of different races, there is no difference in the price of demon pills. The value of the demon pill of the same level demon beast will not be high because of the tiger wolf, nor will it be low because of the rabbit and mouse.

The price of the demon pill only depends on whether the demon pill is complete and the attributes of the demon pill, and the moose that Tang Yi hunted at the beginning was only a third-order, but because it was a rare fire-type demon pill, it could be sold for a thousand taels.

If it is replaced with wood, earth and water, it will be five hundred taels at most, and if it is a rarer gold system, I am afraid that three or four thousand taels will be sold.

Li Laosan's luck is obviously good, although the third-order demon pill is only a wood system, but there is a gold system in the second order. All the demon pills plus some other materials bought a total of more than three thousand taels.

If he had come back straight with those gains, Li Shi's reaction when he saw Tang Yi should have been similar to that clan elder, and these men would have to pour him another drink. It's just a matter of time, and no book is written without coincidence.

They happened to learn a news in Heishuizhuang that there was a night banquet for all the village chiefs and sect heads in ten miles and eight townships, and as long as they were village chiefs, they could participate. As soon as he got the news, Li Shi immediately decided to buy some gifts and go to Yuhuang Pass.

After all, even if Lijia Village can save all this year's offerings, I am afraid that next year's situation will not be too good, and Valan Village may not let them go. Therefore, Li Shi and Li Laosan went to Yuhuangao with gifts and three thousand taels of silver, planning to use these silver to impress Yuhuangao.

Li Shi didn't want to join Yuhuangao, and even some were reluctant to join Yuhuangao, after all, then Lijiacun would be the cannon fodder of Yuhuangao. He just wanted to see if Yu Huangao could take the silver, and then put a sentence out, which made Valanzhai a little jealous.

Even if in the future, Lijia Village will have to pay 3,000 taels of worship to Yuhuangao every year.

When they arrived at Yuhuang Pass, they immediately gave away all the silver and gifts, but as soon as they walked outside the banquet hall after giving gifts, they saw several familiar village chiefs running out.

After the two inquired, they learned that Zhou Qi, who was originally accepted as a disciple by the old immortal, actually committed a taboo and was beaten to death by the old immortal. Those people also said that the old fairy was to blame, and he wanted to punish Yuhuangao, and eighty percent of all the villages that had good friends would also be implicated.

Where did Li Shi and Li Laosan dare to stay any longer? They escaped from Yuhuang Pass overnight.

Li Laosan wanted to go and get those gifts back, but he was dragged by Li Shi, didn't he see those village chiefs running faster than the other? It is said that those immortals are flying, and they will fall from the sky at any time and block them here.

Just after the hour, the feast of the bathing phoenix pass had already dispersed.

At the banquet, although the village chief Zhou tried his best to defend his son according to the old man's intentions, the words taught by the old man were extremely weak, and he persuaded everyone, and even the village chief Zhou himself felt that the bath was over.

In the end, no village was willing to form an alliance with Yuhuang Pass.

There is only one village that Village Chief Zhou remembers and has a very good impression, and that is Lijia Village, which gave a big gift to Lijia Village, but refused to even eat the noodles. He felt that the Li family village was not as powerful as other villages, and the other villages were afraid that they would have to ask for the gifts back long ago.

After all, the old man had instructed the chief manager that if anyone came to ask for a gift, he would return it immediately, and he must not embarrass the other party.

Those big villages are okay, but they haven't torn their faces, and even such a worthless thing can be taken back, and the small villages are not much better. Except for Lijia Village, the rest of the small villages actually asked for gifts back!

In fact, just because Village Chief Zhou thinks so, the old man's heart is open. Where do you not want Lijiacun? They are afraid of being implicated and dare not come to ask for it.

The old man closed his eyes and patted a few mouthfuls of the box containing silver, and after a little contemplation, he instructed his son: "Send the silver to Valanzhai tomorrow, just say that it was sent by Lijia Village, and don't say anything else." ”

"Why, Dad?"

His son didn't understand the old man's purpose, and felt that so much money was too cheap for Valan Village, and besides, Lijia Village wanted them to bathe in Huangao, not Valan Village. After his son came back, he solved the problem of Waran Village and helped Lijia Village solve the trouble, so why should he send it out?

"That's 3,000 taels of silver, Dad! What about 3,000 taels! Our village has only earned less than 20,000 taels in the past six months. ”

"Huh?" The old man squinted his eyes and glared at his son coldly, and when he closed his mouth, he said, "If you want to send it, you can send it, where is so much nonsense!"

Seeing that his son was a little listless, the old man seemed to be a little unbearable, and explained: "Lijia Village and those villages have a virtue, and sooner or later Valanzhai will vomit more for us." ”

Village Chief Zhou responded and went out to make arrangements.
