The base camp of Heifeng Village was built on a relatively flat slope on the Black Wind Ridge.

Most of the buildings in the cottage are simple houses made of mud and grass, except for the large-scale Juyi Hall in the center of the cottage, some other places where bandits live are simply dilapidated and old cattle pens and pigsties.

As the owner of the Black Wind Village, Nie Zheng lives in a slightly better environment than those bandits. He lived in a small courtyard made of bluebrick and bluestone, with a simple living room and a decent bedroom.

At this moment, Nie Zheng was sitting in the living room with a depressed expression, with a pair of dishes and chopsticks on the wooden table next to him, as well as a small pot of black wild vegetable porridge and a few rough and blue nests.

Looking at the food on the table, Nie Zheng suddenly lost his appetite.

It's been a month, it's been almost a month, he's been eating these unpalatable things every day, he used to think that eating should be a kind of enjoyment in life, but now he feels that eating is simply sinful, especially making him eat these tasteless and inferior foods every day, it's worse than killing him.

I remembered that when I was on the earth in my previous life, every day was rice and a few meat stir-fries, although it was not much rich and luxurious, but compared with the food in Heifeng Village, the kind of day with white rice was simply heaven.

Sighing deeply, Nie Zheng reluctantly picked up the bowl and chopsticks, filled a small bowl of wild vegetable porridge, picked up a rough nest head, and the unpalatable porridge, closed his eyes and swallowed hard.

Nie Zheng knew very well in his heart that no matter how unpalatable the food in the cottage was, he would swallow it, otherwise, he would have to starve sooner or later if he continued like this.

Besides, with the two foods in front of them, in addition to the fact that the entire Black Wind Village can have enough for each meal, like some ordinary bandits, they can only eat half full of wild vegetable porridge and wowotou.

Because it is about to enter winter, the stock of grain in the cottage is getting less and less, coupled with the dry drought in the summer of this year, most of the farmers have no harvest, and several states and counties around are famine, and recently Heifeng Village has also sent people and horses down the mountain to find grain, but most of the time, they are empty-handed.

The common people are famine, and what can be gained by robbing the civilians like them?

Thinking of these headaches, Nie Zheng was suddenly extremely upset, and after only half eating, he slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Suddenly, at this moment, two bandit guards guarding the gate of the courtyard of the owner of the village came with a report.

"Report to the master of the village, the master of the hall asks to see!"

Hearing the report, Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and secretly frowned: "This fat man Fang, he still came to me so late, is there something urgent?" ”

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng hurriedly said, "Let him in." ”

A moment later, a short and fat middle-aged man appeared outside the door of the living room with a worried face, and when he saw Nie Zheng sitting in the living room, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "My subordinates have seen the owner of the village." ”

It has been nearly a month since the rebirth of the Black Wind Village, and Nie Zheng clearly knows that like these reckless people in the mixed green forest, they like to pay attention to rules and etiquette the most, especially when they see the owner of the village, they will bow down seriously, at the beginning, Nie Zheng was still a little unaccustomed, but after a long time, Nie Zheng became accustomed to it.

Seeing that the fat man appeared at the door, Nie Zheng waved his hand, signaling him to be excused, and then pointed to the chair across the table and said, "Sit." ”

"Thank you!"

Seeing Fang Fatzi's sad face, Nie Zheng secretly felt bad in his heart, because Fang Fatzi was one of the four core branch masters in Heifeng Village, and the logistics support work such as grain, grass, and food in Heifeng Village was usually entrusted to Fang Fatzi.

He looked so anxious tonight, it must be because there was some difficulty in the cottage.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng glanced at him deeply and asked, "Hall Master Fang, what is the matter with coming to me tonight?" ”

Fang Fatzi took a deep breath, and said in a dry voice: "Owner of the village, our cottage is about to run out of food." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng couldn't help frowning, and said with some displeasure: "Out of food? Are you kidding! Didn't you tell me a few days ago that you had arranged for Yang Hu and the others to go down the mountain in disguise and go to Gaojiazhuang in Dahe Town to buy grain? As long as they come back, won't our cottage be short of food? Well, by the way, Yang Hu and they have not returned to the mountain, calculating the time, they should be almost back. ”

Faced with the repeated questioning of the owner of the village, Fang Fatzi lowered his head a little ashamedly, and was silent for a while, before he whispered weakly: "Yang ...... Yang Hu has just returned to the mountain, but the food ......"

Seeing that the fat man was speechless, his expression was different, and suddenly, Nie Zheng's face sank, "What's wrong?" Did something go wrong? ”

Fang Fatzi nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "The more than forty brothers who went down the mountain to buy grain this time were all folded in Gaojiazhuang, only Yang Hu was injured and returned, and the three hundred taels of silver money they brought to buy food and materials were all gone. Ay...... The three hundred taels of silver is the last family of our cottage, without this money, the situation of our cottage will be very bad, and now it is about to enter winter, we are afraid that we will not be able to survive this winter. ”

"How long can the food of our cottage be able to last?"

"If you save a little, it will support for half a month at most!"

As soon as these words came out, Nie Zheng's color changed on the spot, and he took a few deep breaths, wanting to relieve the impatience in his heart.

Fang Fatzi saw that the lord of the village looked a little terrible, and his heart was also extremely nervous, thinking of the cold and irritable character of the big boss in the past, this time he made such a big mistake in his own jurisdiction, although it was said that the big boss's temperament has changed greatly since he came back from the dead last time, and he no longer lost his temper as before, but he was still so frightened that he lowered his head, and he didn't even dare to come out.

After pondering for a moment, and only after his emotions calmed down a little did Nie Zheng slowly speak: "What the hell is going on, explain it to me in detail." ”

Seeing that the big boss's tone was softened and he was not angry, Fang Fatzi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, brewed his words slightly, and said cautiously: "Because the cottage has less and less grain, seven days ago, his subordinates arranged for Yang Hu and others to take the convoy to Zhoujiazhuang to buy grain. ”

After speaking, Fang Fatzi glanced at Nie Zheng, and Nie Zheng also nodded.

Seeing that the big boss's face was as usual, Fang Fatzi continued: "Who would have thought that after Yang Hu and the others arrived in Gaojiazhuang, they somehow leaked the rumors, so that Gao Batian, the owner of Gaojiazhuang, found out his identity, so Gao Batian secretly notified the government, secretly set a trap, and took down all our brothers, and now, the brothers we sent not only went and did not return, but even the three hundred taels of silver money for buying food were confiscated by the government. ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng frowned and said, "As far as I know, our Black Wind Village has gone to Gaojiazhuang more than once to buy grain, why didn't there be an accident so many times before, but this time it happened?" According to common sense, the people don't fight with bandits, Gao Batian is just a small rich man with a bit of power in Dahe Town, where does he have the confidence to dare to go against us mountain kings? Isn't he afraid of our retaliation? ”

Fang Fatzi smiled bitterly and said: "This is not what it used to be, the owner of the village may not know something, since you ...... last time After you took the people and horses to the bottom of the mountain to rob the two demon girls and missed, the reputation of our Black Wind Village plummeted, and now they are all ...... on the top of the mountain in this area of Longhu Mountain They all look down on us, and in the past month, you have never gone down the mountain to lead your brothers to do a few big deals to revive the prestige of our Black Wind Village, so everyone is a little bit unaware of our Black Wind Village. What's even more annoying is that in the past, like those caravans and dart carts that passed by our territory, they would more or less throw money to worship the mountain, but now, they don't exist at all.

Recently, according to the news that our brother came back from outside, the imperial court has issued an order to order Xipinghou to lead the army to go to Xiguan to rebel, and our Longhu Mountain is the only way for the Xipinghou army to go outside the Guan, according to some news circulating on the road, Xipinghou will not only crusade against the five county thieves outside Xiguan, but also will clear our mountain bandit forces entrenched in the Longhu Mountain Range by the way, so, according to the analysis of his subordinates, the Gaojiazhuang owner Gao Batian, the reason why he dares to be at this moment, The United Government is against our Black Wind Village, presumably because the army of bandits waiting in Xiping is coming, thinking that our Black Wind Village is running out. Otherwise, if we leave it in the past, it is to borrow a hundred dares from him, and they will not dare to oppose us. ”

After hearing him say this, Nie Zheng secretly sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

You goddamn thief, do you want to play with me like that? Lao Tzu was reborn in Heifeng Village and became the king of the mountain for a month, and you want to play Lao Tzu to death.

Now the cottage wants food and no food, and there is no money for money, what makes Nie Zheng even more frightened and desperate is that the army of bandits in Xipinghou is coming, if it develops according to the normal trajectory, if nothing else, their Heifeng Village will be slaughtered by the army of Xipinghou sooner or later, and as the king of the mountain in Heifeng Village, it must be a dead end.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng looked depressed and depressed to the extreme.

Seeing that Nie Zheng had been silent for a long time and didn't speak, Fang Fat plucked up his courage and asked in a low voice, "Village master, what should we do now?" ”

At this moment, Nie Zheng's mind was already in a mess, rubbed his swollen and painful forehead, exhaled deeply, and said casually: "Now, the situation facing our cottage is indeed a bit difficult, so let's go back and rest early tonight, and early tomorrow morning, notify all the leaders and leaders in the cottage and let them gather in the Juyi Hall, no matter what difficulties they encounter, everyone will think about the long term together." ”

Hearing this, Fang Fat Man nodded, bowed and said, "Subordinates retire." ”

"Walk slowly!"

Nie Zheng sat on the chair in the living room, looking at the back of Fang Fatzi gradually moving away, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and muttered to himself, "What should I do now?" You ask me, I ask who goes? ”

Thinking that he was reborn into this pit father's Black Wind Village, and he fell into such a difficult situation without a good day, Nie Zheng felt that he had a headache.

At this moment, as the big boss of Black Wind Village, he really has no clue, and he has no way at all.

Suddenly, Nie Zheng felt that his chest was getting hotter and hotter, and suddenly, he was extremely irritable.

At that moment, he left the seat, closed the doors and windows, tore open his clothes, and suddenly pulled out the mysterious jade pendant hidden on his chest.

At the moment when Nie Zheng had just pulled out the jade pendant, he was shocked on the spot!

I saw that this turquoise round jade pendant was actually shining with turquoise light at the moment, and it was extremely hot, especially in the middle of the jade pendant, a transparent bubble the size of a soybean actually bulged out.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was stunned!

It has been a month since he was reborn in the Black Wind Village, and every time night falls, this mysterious jade pendant will appear abnormal, hot and hot, but it has never been so hot and burning as it was tonight, shining with light, and such a strange phenomenon as bulging transparent bubbles.

"Oh the hell, what the hell is going on tonight?"

With a scream, Nie Zheng couldn't bear the heat of his burning hands, and couldn't help but throw the jade pendant on the table.

Rumble!!!

At the moment when the jade pendant collided with the table, something magical happened!

I saw that the shining and hot mysterious jade pendant suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and then, the light continued to spread and enlarge, and finally formed a door-like shape.

Suddenly, this magical "door" suddenly opened from the inside, and in an instant, Nie Zheng only felt that an extremely dazzling white light shot out from the "door", which made people unable to force their eyes.

Immediately, Nie Zheng was terrified in his heart, and hurriedly closed his eyes, and at the moment when he closed his eyes, suddenly, a huge suction force suddenly appeared in the magical "door", sucking his whole person in......
