Xiang Bei and Hao Pang came to Liu Village, which is a mountain village. At the entrance of the village, I met a child driving a cow.

Xiang Bei stopped the child and gave him an extra sugar gourd: "Little friend, where is your village chief's house?"

The child glanced at the knife in Hao Fat's hand and asked what they were here for?

Xiang Bei said that it was nothing, just looking for something to the village chief.

The child stretched out his hand and pointed to a house on a high place: "There it is." ”

After speaking, the child climbed onto the ox, blew the bone whistle in his hand all the way, and rode away on the ox.

Hao Pang said that he was so cute when he was a child.

Xiang Bei shook his head lightly: "Is it cute?" Park the carriage here and let's walk up. This village is built with knowledge, and the houses are located on both sides of the road from low to high, unlike the chaos of ordinary mountain villages. Ordinary mountain village houses are built where they are flat, and it is best to have a vegetable patch in front of the door. But here is not the same as leaving no extra roads, just one road uphill, I would rather work hard to level the walk in front of the door, rather than go to those flat places to build houses, so concentrated on defending a road, you can fight and retreat from low to high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Hao Pang asked what it means, how can a mountain village be related to easy to defend and difficult to attack? Is there anything strange about this village?

Xiang Bei laughed: "In this winter, what are you doing with cattle, the mountain road is slippery, and you are not afraid of falling down the mountain." The sound of the bone whistle just now is the news. I saw someone come home when they heard the whistle. ”

"You say there's something wrong with that kid too?"

"There are problems in the whole village, let's go, be careful, your brother goes ahead. ”

"I'm still a dude when I'm in danger. ”

Hao Pang thought it was funny and took the lead to walk up the mountain. After the first two houses, Xiang Bei looked back and told Hao Pang: "There are back doors on the houses, which is even more wrong." This is purely for the convenience of upward transfer, if there are officers and soldiers to attack, transfer from the front door, it is easy to be shot by the bows and arrows of the soldiers below. This village is supposed to be a den of robbers. ”

"This is the place of the Night Guild?"

"No, the nocturnal guild is all affiliated killers and will not live together. ”

"Then we were deceived by Fan Niang, there is no branch leader here, only robbers. ”

"Not necessarily, maybe the president of the family will work part-time as a robber. It's not a lie, it just doesn't tell us it's a robber's den. ”

The two men talked as they walked, and when they were halfway up the mountain, a large crowd of men and women rushed out of the houses, both men and women with weapons, and bows and arrows aimed at them.

Xiang Bei lit a cigarette and asked everyone what they meant, is this a tradition in the village?

A big man smiled fiercely: "Two distinguished guests, according to the rules of our Liu Village, you don't have to leave when you come, only the sword can keep you here forever." ”

Xiang Beile said: "A place where you don't want to leave when you come, this advertisement sounds familiar." But this winter festival is coming, and we really can't stay here. Don't be in a hurry to cut people, come to your village chief, let's talk to the village chief, if you can't make sense with the village chief, it's not too late for you to cut down. Well, that's not too much to ask. ”

After Xiang Bei finished speaking, a middle-aged man came down from the mountain: "Who is coming, what are you looking for me?"

"In the next Xiang Bei, I came to send money" Xiang Bei's answer is also quite concise.

"Are you Xiang Bei?" Liu Busy, the village chief, looked him up and down a few times.

Xiang Bei threw away the unfinished cigarette in his hand: "Since you know my name, it means that I didn't find the wrong person." Let me go and sit at home, there are some things that are not right to say here. ”

"Put down the sword soldiers, come with me" Liu Busy was quite cautious.

Hao Pang stuck the knife on the ground and told others not to touch his knife, and then walked with Xiang Bei to the village chief's house.

After sitting down in the house, Liu hurriedly asked Xiang Bei what he was holding in his hand?

Xiang Bei asked him to guess.

Liu hurriedly frowned: "It looks like a watermelon, the kind of small watermelon in the northern city, and it is still dripping watermelon juice, is this broken? But it's not right, there is no watermelon in this season, so what will it be? It won't be the head of those brothers in the household, right?"

"Exactly, there is no place to deal with it, so I brought it to you, the president. It's just that I didn't expect you, President You, to have a robber's den in your own house. Xiang Bei said, putting the three heads on the table.

Liu hurriedly stroked the head on the table and sighed: "People are poor, and there are wooden methods, so I can only think of more ways to make money." I don't have a shortage of human heads here, and there are hundreds of them buried in the back mountain. It's useless to scare me with this thing. ”

"It's not to scare the president, but I just want to tell you that the person who took on the mission to kill me is dead. Mission over. ”

"No, how can it end, you are not dead, how can it end. We'll also be republishing tasks. And the person who takes the task again must be raised by one level. You're going to have a tougher opponent to face. ”

"Then don't post it again, fifty gold coins, I'll give it to you. It is no better for you to earn it than for others to earn it. ”

"But that would affect the credibility of our union, and we don't like to have tasks that can't be done. ”

Xiang Bei looked at Liu Busy: "Do you think I'm very easy to kill?"

Liu Xian looked at him: "Here and now, don't you think you have wings and can't fly?"

Xiang Bei leaned his face towards him, without losing his momentum at all: "If it is difficult to fly with wings, do you think I will come here?"

"And what do you have to rely on?"

"Does the president want to give it a try?"

After Xiang Bei finished speaking, Liu Xian was silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed: "Haha, how could the princess strategist, how could she be stupid enough to run to death." I believe you are. Fifty gold coins, the son went home and slept peacefully. I post the task, arrange for my people to take it, and when the second round of tasks is time, it will expire and will not be reissued. ”

Xiang Bei hugged his fists and saluted: "President Liu is righteous, thank you very much." ”

Next to him, Hao Pang also took out fifty gold coins and handed them to Liu Xian.

Liu hurriedly put away the money, and suddenly his face changed: "On the killer's side, Mr. doesn't need to worry." But I can't break the rules of the folks here. ”

Xiang Bei sneered: "You just want another one?"

Liu Xian told him with a look of not misunderstanding: "I don't want to, but I'm afraid that my son won't be able to get out." ”

Chiguoguo's scare was useless to Xiang Bei, Xiang Bei replied to him: "Then I won't leave, if I don't go back for two hours, the princess guards will come." I will stay here and sleep for a long time, and it will be cost-effective for you to relocate and run away from the whole village. Of course, the premise is that you keep me, I said earlier, if you dare to come here, you are not afraid that you will not be able to go back. President Liu: Don't let the chickens fly and the eggs will be beaten. ”

Hearing this, Liu hurriedly laughed: "It's just a joke, the son is leaving." ”

"I'm leaving, but there's one more thing to say. I gave you this money for free, if you want to spend your life, you have to learn to be a man. Bring me a token, and I'll send someone to contact you later. ”

Liu was busy hesitating for a while, and Xiang Bei reassured him that he would not let him do it in vain. What are the tasks, according to the market price.

"Okay, then I wish us to cooperate as soon as possible, and there will be a preferential price at that time" Liu hurriedly handed over a Xunzhu and a jade plate. Tell him that anyone can come, and enter the village with the jade plate.

"Farewell" Xiang Bei didn't talk much nonsense, and took Hao Pang away when he got the things.

On the way back, Hao Pang didn't understand: "Sir, are you sure he is willing to work for us like this?"

Xiang Bei laughed out loud: "Originally, I wanted to spend money to buy him a friendship, but after I knew that all the robbers in this village were there. I didn't think I needed to. If he dares not to listen, the whole village will be ruined. With so many people and so many houses, it was inconvenient for him to run away. He can't even listen to him. It's no wonder that apart from the pink girl, no killer knows where he lives. Such a big field has to be kept secret. This also proves that we are right in what we heard, that no one in this village will get out alive. Otherwise, it would have been exposed. ”

"What did the gentleman do with the fifty he gave him, wasted. ”

"You can't be in a hurry, the dog is in a hurry and jumps over the wall, so that both of us can accept it. You can sleep with peace of mind when you go back, and I know that Lao Nest will ask him to issue a task to kill me again, and he won't dare. ”

Xiang Bei was in a good mood, he didn't spend all the hundred he gave, and he kept fifty. By the way, I found a way to do things in the dark and made money.
