Chapter 87: Liujiazhuang

Maybe it was because he was anxious, or maybe it was because he was worried about Ouyang Xuan, Duan Feng felt that his swordsmanship was becoming more and more proficient, and the cold ice sword under his feet was getting faster and faster.

But this does not mean that he can fly down without restrictions, he has already flown more than 500 miles, and the shortcomings of the low aura and lack of aura are gradually beginning to be exposed, and the flight altitude is gradually reduced, falling from above the clouds to a height of 100 zhang. "It would be nice if the Red Feather Horse was here now!" Duan Feng thought to himself, although he was helpless in his heart, he still planned to take a rest.

Duan Feng found that there was a village not far ahead, although the village was not big, but there was already cooking smoke coming out, just enough to beg for a meal, his legs were bent, his right hand pointed forward and downward, and the cold ice sword fell rapidly.

Duan Feng walked to the entrance of the village, the village was much bigger than what he saw from the sky, there were thousands of households, only to see a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, on which were written "Liujiazhuang" three big characters, "It seems that there must be a lot of people surnamed Liu in this village, and there may be inns in such a big village." Duan Feng thought to himself.

Duan Feng walked into the village with the cold ice sword on his back, and found that although the village was very large, most of the houses on both sides of the road were very dilapidated, and the clothes of the pedestrians on the street were also very old, and he found many beggars along the way, which made him feel very strange.

And it stands to reason that most of the beggars gather in the towns, so how could these beggars gather here? Duan Feng walked around the village and did not find an inn, not even a teahouse.

Duan Feng stopped a passerby: "Is there an inn here?"

The man carefully examined Duan Feng, although he was not dressed in brocade as before, but the satin clothes on his body still made him look incompatible with these villagers in coarse linen clothes.

The villagers looked at Duan Feng vigilantly, looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one, and said, "Are you from other places?"

Duan Feng felt strange, didn't he just ask for directions? Could it be that he was still afraid of being seen?" Passing by here, seeing that it was getting late, he wanted to find an inn to rest. ”

The man looked at both sides again and quietly approached Duan Feng: "Don't look for it, there is no inn here, if you want to rest, you can go there and have a look." So saying, the man pointed to the west end of the village, and hurried away.

Duan Feng felt more and more strange, looked at the passers-by who left in a hurry, and smiled puzzledly.

According to the guidance of passers-by, Duan Feng came to a ruined temple, what he didn't expect was that it was already full of beggars, and the environment was extremely dirty, and the stench was unpleasant, in the past, he couldn't stay for a moment, but he looked at the sun had set, the sky was about to get dark, and the north wind was blowing outside, the sky was gloomy, maybe it would snow at night, and he had to commit to this, but fortunately he had adapted to this life.

As soon as he entered the ruined temple, a foul smell accompanied by bursts of snoring came to his face, and Duan Feng instinctively covered his nose and retreated. Still overestimating his ability to adapt, he found a pile of hay in the corridor outside the temple gate and sat on it.

Duan Feng took out a package from his arms, took out a piece of cake from it, and walked for a day, he didn't eat rice and water, plus the flying of the sword, the energy consumption was even more serious, and when he stopped, he suddenly felt his stomach growl. Duan Feng tore off a piece of bread with his hand and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, thinking about Ouyang Xuan's injury.

Duan Feng faintly felt that a pair of eyes were secretly watching him, which made him feel so uncomfortable, he suddenly stood up, looked behind him, and found that a head was suddenly hiding behind the corner. Duan Feng grabbed the cold ice sword behind him with his right hand and slowly leaned against the corner of the wall to find it.

It turned out to be a six or seven-year-old girl, Duan Feng smiled relaxedly: "Little girl, who are you?

The little girl didn't speak, her dirty little face was blown red by the cold wind in the night, and she stared at the cake in Duan Feng's hand silently with a pair of big watery eyes. Duan Feng saw it, turned around and took out a piece of cake from the bag and handed it to the little girl, who grabbed the cake and ran around the corner.

Duan Feng shook his head and smiled, and went back to sit on the grass. After eating a piece of bread briefly, Duan Feng was about to lie down and rest, but just as he was about to lie down, Duan Feng found that the little girl just now was standing in the same place and looking at him silently, and the ragged woman standing next to him.

Duan Feng got up and walked over, looked at the woman, squatted down and asked, "Have you eaten enough?"

The little girl didn't speak, but looked at Duan Feng's burden, Duan Feng looked back at the burden, got up and went back to take out the last two cakes and handed them to the little girl, the little girl took the cake and handed it to the woman: "Mother, there is bread to eat." ”

The woman took the cake with both hands and knelt in front of Duan Feng with a pop, and Duan Feng hurriedly helped the woman up.

The woman and the little girl devoured the remaining two cakes, looking at the two yellow-skinned and skinny people who were tortured by hunger in front of them, Duan Feng's heart rose a sour, he always felt that he was already very pitiful, but he didn't expect that there were many poor people in the world, compared to them, he was really lucky.

Seeing that the two of them had finished eating the cake, Duan Feng asked, "Where did you escape from, why don't you go to town, what are you doing here?"

The woman licked the remaining oil stains on her fingers, looked around secretly, and whispered, "I think you are a good person, let me tell you, we are from this village." ”

Duan Feng asked in surprise, "Are you from this village?" Then why didn't you go home, how did you fall to such a state?"

The woman said, "Our home is long gone, not only our home, but also our land. ”

"How can it be? I see that there is a lot of fertile land outside the village, how can it be gone?"

"Ah!" the woman sighed, "our land and houses have been forcibly seized by the landlords. ”

"What landlord is so domineering, why did he forcibly occupy your land and houses, and why didn't you report it to the officials?"

The woman smiled bitterly: "Does the landlord still need a reason to forcibly occupy the land? This landlord is very good when he hears it, it is said that he has relatives in the palace, and his power is very great, and the government can control it." ”

"How can this be reasonable!" Duan Feng has lived in a big family since he was a child, and the people he came into contact with were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and his family originally had 10,000 hectares of fertile land, but they were all subleased to farmers, and only collected some rent every year, and the rest was enough for tenants to live, he felt that the landlords all over the world were like this, there was no difference, he never felt that there was anything wrong with the people in the government, I am an official and you are the people, each performing its own duties, "In this case, why don't you go to other places, at least you don't have to starve here?"

The woman said, "If you don't let you go, whoever walks will have their legs discounted, and several will die." ”

Duan Feng nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "It seems that it's time for this world to change." ”

The woman sighed bitterly and said, "What is there to change? Since ancient times, wolves have eaten sheep, and this is fate." ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the temple gate, Duan Feng walked to the door and saw a pair of people and horses walking towards the temple with torches, the people who came were violent, they should have come for this group of villagers, he wanted to go back and ask the woman, but the woman and the child had already disappeared.

Duan Feng quietly hid in the corner, wanting to see who was coming.

Suddenly, the temple door was kicked open by an eight-foot strong man, and then a group of people armed with sticks broke into the broken temple, and the villagers who were sleeping in the temple were woken up and driven out of the room, and were surrounded by a group of people trembling and squatting on the ground.

Black smoke from the torches in the hands of these men lingered over the courtyard, and they lined up neatly on both sides, dodging a path. At this time, a middle-aged man in a fur coat walked in and asked, "Where are the Hua family's father and daughter?"

No one in the crowd spoke, they were like lambs to the slaughter with their heads bowed in horror, the middle-aged man saw that no one spoke, and made a look at the person next to him, so two people with sticks walked into the crowd and pulled out an old man, and couldn't help but say that it was a random beating, how could the old man stand this, and lay motionless on the ground after a few strokes.

The middle-aged man said loudly: "Let me ask again, where are the father and daughter of the Hua family?"

People shivered in the cold wind with their heads in their hands, but still no one spoke, and the sobs of children could be heard from the crowd. The middle-aged man was furious and said, "Okay, a bunch of untouchables! Don't say yes? Then I'll beat you all to death one by one, and see if you say anything." With that, the two thugs walked into the crowd again, pulled out a scrawny young man and beat him.

Duan Feng saw all this in his eyes, thinking that this might be the landlord's person that the woman said just now, right? Seeing the innocent people being beaten by these evil slaves for a while, the fire in his heart became even stronger, Duan Feng touched the cold ice sword, and put it back, although these evil slaves are hateful, but they are not guilty to death, he turned around and found a wooden stick with the thickness of his arm, and prepared to go out to teach these evil slaves a lesson.

Just as Duan Feng was about to go out, a big hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder behind him, and before he could react, the big hand grabbed his shoulder and jumped out of the yard, Duan Feng wanted to break free from the restraint of the person who came, but this person's hand strength was so strong, Duan Feng was like a three-year-old child with no power in his hands, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the man's control.

Duan Feng was picked up and walked for about three or four miles, and was taken to a wood, the mysterious man threw Duan Feng to the ground, he struggled to stand up, just wanted to get angry, but took a closer look at the mysterious man: "Wen Bo!" Duan Feng exclaimed.

"Second Young Master, you are still so reckless! Wenbo said angrily.

"Wenbo, it's really you, you're not dead?" Duan Feng shouted excitedly.

"Of course I'm not dead, who says I'm dead?" replied Vinber disapprovingly.

"No, I thought ......" Duan Feng was a little incoherent with excitement, "It's good if you're not dead!

Duan Feng suddenly remembered that there was still something waiting for him in the broken temple: "Wen Bo will talk about other things later, now I have to save those villagers." ”
