Chapter 267: Drinking Tea

Xiaomei said that the problem is very realistic, and it is easy for a person to leave. But it's really difficult to drag your family and want to live in a different environment. Fortunately, these problems are what the people of Shengjiazhuang need to consider, and they have little to do with the three people watching the play outside the door. They just looked in and sighed.

The battle inside this meeting has almost been white-hot, almost to the point of dazzling swords. Whether it is the villagers in Shengjiazhuang or the people brought by Wang Po, they are essentially vassals of the Sheng family.

Although the male members of the Sheng family withered, in this generation, there is even only one single seedling left in Sheng Xiu. However, this only means that the population of this branch is small, and it does not mean that the branches that were scattered in the early years did not have males. In fact, the people in Shengjiazhuang are all surnamed Sheng, and they are bred from an old grandfather.

These branches just have no status, in fact, as the descendants of the Sheng family, they have all learned the ancestral sword skills of the Sheng family. Wang Po's husband is not a patriarch, so there are not too many members of his family to follow him. But the person who mixes very poorly in Shengjiazhuang, and can't even eat enough, doesn't care whether he is the patriarch or not.

is also a person with a surname, and it is not a shame to follow Wang Po's husband. Especially when he broke out of the name of the Sheng family in western Sichuan outside, more people defected to him from Shengjiazhuang. So although the people brought by Wang Po today are nominally the apprentices of the head of the Sheng family in western Sichuan, in fact, many of them are from Shengjiazhuang, and the essence is that they are all her relatives.

Two groups of people from the same background, since they come from the same family. Moreover, the patriarchs and the heads of the families on both sides are still brothers, so naturally things will be similar. They naturally have their own special skills, but that kind of stunt that presses the bottom of the box will not teach others casually. Even close apprentices or distant relatives would not want to learn this secret skill. Therefore, most people learn the sword skills passed down from the family, but the patriarch and the bishop are more systematic.

The reason why the name of the Sheng family in western Sichuan fell on the head of Wang Po's husband was because he figured out the way to form a swordsman array. Even though his brother's sword skills are more powerful than him, his sword array is more powerful, and he successfully became the elder brother of the patriarch of the Sheng family, thus becoming the spokesperson of the Sheng family.

The patriarch has been suppressed for a lifetime, and he has pondered for a lifetime. In the end, he still came up with a trick, which was to form a small formation of three of his subordinates. His brother's sword formation was a group of ten, and no matter how many people came from the other side, they would go out with ten.

Now is the era of guns, of course, few people know how to organize knife formations. So when fighting with other gray forces, this kind of sword formation is almost invincible. No matter how many people come from the other side, the sword formation can break them one by one.

Originally, it was almost difficult to find an opponent in this kind of knife formation, but there was no shortage of people in Shengjiazhuang who played with knives. The patriarch will have his men work in groups of three, and let each team deal with one person in the sword formation. Then the ten teams went up together, and his younger brother's sword formation was successfully dismantled into ten people. And then it's three people against one, and of course there is no disadvantage.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Po's subordinates were mixed outside, and they had more experience in fighting, maybe they would have been all cut into pulp long ago. This will be barely supported by them, and only by constantly shrinking the formation can they ensure that they will not be stabbed in the back.

Now the ten-person small formation of turtles shrunk into a circle, and everyone turned their knives outward, and then competed with more people outside to see whose knife was wielding faster. Because the circle was too small, only fifteen or sixteen of the besieging people outside could join the battle, and the rest could only watch from the sidelines. This makes the patriarch's sword formation unable to play a greater advantage, but there are many of them who can take turns in battle. As long as it takes a long time, it can still be won.

However, what made the patriarch feel a little headache was that as soon as Wang Po's people contracted the knife array, they broke away from contact with the zombies. In this way, those zombies can only attack the people in Shengjiazhuang on the periphery, so those who did not participate in the slashing in Shengjiazhuang can't be idle. They have to cut down zombies, and they need to put in even more energy than their companions. In this way, they will not be able to recuperate, and they will reduce the advantage of their side.

"Brother and sister, you are very scheming, and you even thought of using the power of the living dead." The patriarch withdrew his right hand that was facing Wang Po, and then retreated to his Taishi chair and sat down, "Brother and sister, find a place to sit down by yourself." ”

The patriarch and Wang Po have been fighting each other for a long time, and the patriarch is older after all, so he first spoke for a temporary truce. However, Wang Po did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but really found a chair to sit down.

The two of them will sit on a high platform built of loess, on which a Taishi chair and ten ordinary high-backed chairs are placed, which is the place where the heads and faces of the people in Shengjiazhuang discuss on weekdays. The people below are still fighting to death, but the people above are drinking tea.

"Brother and sister, try this tea, it's a new Longjing this year." The patriarch warmly recommended, "I don't have the blessings of you and my good brother, and I have no grandson and only a granddaughter." But my granddaughter is filial, and every year she will bring me some fresh tea to drink. ”

"Big brother is really joking, I and the old man of my family have no blessings. Although there is such a lone seedling as Xiu'er, Xiu'er disobeyed his elders and actually ate the blood spirit pill I robbed of his grandfather. This is a life-saving medicine, not a deliberate attempt to kill his grandfather. It's not that I'm talking about the eldest brother, since you know these things, how can you continue to take him in? ”

The patriarch took a sip of tea, then spat out a slice of tea leaves. He put down the teacup, and then sighed: "Xiu'er, this kid, is really a good boy." Although he robbed the second child's medicine, it was also for his grandfather's good. What is the Blood Spirit Pill, Xiu'er doesn't know, don't you know it yet? Thinking about how the second child broke into his current name, have you forgotten? ”

"That was almost seventy years ago, when Brother Wu led me and some strong men from Shengjiazhuang to form a knife team to exterminate the ghost eaters entrenched in the nearby mountains. If there were no Brother Wu, the power of those ghost devourers would be dominating western Sichuan. ”

"Yes, my second brother is worthy of a martial artist in his name, and he is indeed much stronger than my brother. I have a character in my name, and I have never been able to get rid of the image of a weak scholar in my life. People outside called me a clerk back then, which meant that I was powerless. The second child did this beautiful thing, which really glorified the lintel of my Sheng family. But he became famous for exterminating the Ghost Eater back then, and you want to make him a Ghost Eater today, could it be that you want him to lose his old age? ”

Wang Po didn't have the patience to sit here and drink tea, and now she immediately felt like a fried cat, so she almost went up and scratched people with her paws. She put the teacup on the table and retorted: "You and I have lived for almost a hundred years, and there is nothing else to see." The reason why those ghost devourers were exterminated back then was because they used living people to refine the blood spirit pill at will. If this kind of thing is not done, who will exterminate them. You are so close to Lanshan Temple, and it was built by Tianxu Dao people themselves. Tianxu Dao people are from ghost eaters, why didn't they see the Sheng family and Lanshan can't get along? As long as it's not harmful, there's nothing to be afraid of ghost eaters. ”

"Lanshan Guanzhi said that there were no moths, because the Tianxu Dao people disappeared hundreds of years ago. Although his descendants have also inherited that bloodline, they are supplemented by Taoism, so they will not be consumed by this bloodline. But we are all ordinary people, and if we are contaminated with that kind of blood, we will definitely become ghost eaters. If the Ghost Devourer wants to advance, he has to drink blood and eat flesh. ”

"Big brother, since you have spoken it yourself, then I don't have to hide it. This time, Sheng Xiu originally robbed the Blood Spirit Pill, and I wanted to punish him. But this is my family matter, not a major event of the Sheng family. It's just that you will interfere for no reason, but you will still let Sheng Xiu make so many living dead. How many villages around him will be harmed, and if he doesn't control it, I'm afraid that even the entire western Sichuan will suffer. This is something that is going to destroy the foundation of the Sheng family, can't you see it? ”

"Xiu'er is the only one seedling in the Sheng family's lineage, and I naturally have to take care of his affairs. If he is killed by you, my Sheng family can only be handed over to the hands of distant relatives. Although my little granddaughter is annoying enough, she is an outsider after all. As for your statement that Xiu'er created the living dead, I can't complain about that. You've been involved in the extermination of the Demon Eaters, and you know how quickly the living dead spread. I can only protect my own Shengjiazhuang, but I can't control the life and death of more people. ”

"What a self-preservation, what you mean by self-protection is to indulge the strong men in the village to loot other villages or even attack the police?"

The patriarch laughed for a moment, and then took another sip of tea: "A woman is a woman in the end, and she will only be a woman's kindness." You don't know how powerful the living dead are. With the food and weapons in Shengjiazhuang alone, how could it be possible to resist the siege of the living dead? I can only ask Xiu'er to send the living dead he can control to lure most of the living dead to the surrounding villages, so as to ensure that Shengjiazhuang is not targeted. As for grabbing some guns, isn't it to increase the cost of self-protection? This is the way of the world, only by being ruthless enough can you protect yourself. ”

"You old thing has been enjoying this place for too long, and you don't even know what the world has become. It's no longer the time for warlords to fight, and the outside world is peaceful. There are living dead people popping up here, and you think you can suppress the news? The satellites in the sky alone can see the bottom clearly, will those armies that encircle and suppress the living dead kill the zombies, will they let Sheng Jiazhuang go? ”

"Do you really think I'm an old fool who doesn't even know that the outside world has changed? Hehe, I'm not out of touch at all, it's clear. I don't call these guys the living dead out there, they call them zombies, I know that. ”
