Chapter 111: Planning
Back at the village chief's house, the enthusiastic village chief brought tea and water, and took out a snack made of grain, which made the four Lei Zhan embarrassed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After finishing these things, the village chief said to everyone: "You have worked hard all the way, you can rest first, and I will make you dinner." ”
Lei Zhan and his entourage heard that the village chief was going to make dinner, so they left their saliva out. Since he decided not to go home for the time being, he will let go of eating today and enjoy the delicious food in the field, and Lei Zhan still has to figure out some doubts in his heart.
After about half an hour, Lan Xin and Goudan also came to the village chief's house, and heard that Lei Zhan and they didn't leave, and these two people were also coming to send off something else, chatting by the way, and then having a meal by the way.
When the village chief saw the two of them coming, the smile on his face became more and more, beckoned the two to sit down, and began to serve the food.
"Grandpa the village chief, how do you know that we will be back today?" Lan Xin asked the question first instead of Lei Zhan.
The village chief put down his chopsticks and said with a sad face: "Well, it was notified by the academy three days ago, and it was also said that Lan Xin has become a magician, which is a happy thing, it was originally the academy that notified us to pick you up, but the village really can't spare manpower, alas!"
"Oh, it's fine. We can find our way. Lan Xin looked at the village chief with a fine expression.
However, Lan Xin seemed to see the problem too clearly, only Lei Zhan found something, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, is there something big happening?"
"It's okay, it's okay. The village chief hurriedly replied, he didn't want to trouble Engong too much, and since there was a magician in the village, Lan Xin, the matter would be solved.
"Grandpa, you said we would do justice for you. Ye Lantian also reacted at this time, and said righteously.
Ye Ziyi also squeezed her pink fist and said, "Yes, grandpa, you say, don't be afraid." ”
Lei Zhan looked at Ouyang Xun'er on the side, if he really encountered a tricky problem, he might want this eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion to help them, Ouyang Xun'er seemed to know what Lei Zhan meant, and nodded to him.
Unable to bear everyone's sense of justice, the village chief explained: "It's not the bandits yet. ”
"Scarring Qiang is coming to rob again?" Lei Zhan said angrily, he might have been afraid of them before, but now he is really not afraid at all, in the past, his ability to control flowers and trees could make them think that they were magicians, thus scaring them away, not to mention that now he has become a magician.
"It's not them. The village chief swallowed his saliva and continued: "Half a year ago, the two groups of bandits around us finally couldn't bear it, and the conflict that occurred, that battle ended quickly, and there was no bloody battle, in that battle, Scar forced them to lose, and another wave of bandits cut off a hand. ”
"Good. Everyone applauded when they heard that the hateful Scar Qiang had had one of his hands cut off by the bandits, but Lei Zhan knew that things were not so simple, and the tiredness on those people's faces was definitely not formed in a day or two.
"I heard that there was a magician in the middle of another wave of bandits, and we don't understand why the magician would be in the same league with that group of bandits, anyway, it happened, Scarqiang lost, and our village, which originally belonged to Scarqiang, naturally belonged to those people. ”
"If the normal protection fee is forgotten, they actually receive three times as much as before, it is simply a group of robbers, hooligans. Originally, the village was short of food, but now that the harvest has tripled, the villagers will not be able to eat, and all the people in the village have gone to the east to reclaim the wasteland, hoping to get more food in the coming year. ”
"Damn. Everyone clenched their fists, and anger rose in their hearts against the bandits.
Seeing the appearance of everyone, the village chief hurriedly explained, for fear that everyone would rush to the bandit's lair and something would happen: "But don't be afraid now, since there are also magicians in our village, then there is capital to negotiate with them, presumably it is not difficult for them to stop collecting the protection fee from our village chief, after all, the bandits are still no match for the magician, as long as the other party is not so tough." ”
After speaking, the village chief looked at Lan Xin, the sadness on his face weakened a little, and he began to show a happy expression.
"Hmph, how can it be done, even if you don't accept your village, then the other village chiefs are not very sad, and they don't know how Lingdong Town manages it. Ouyang Xun'er said.
"Don't blame the city lord, there are too many people who want to get something for nothing, how many times have the city lord suppressed bandits in our place, but these bandits rely on their familiarity with the terrain, even if they are regular troops, they can't please them, and even if one wave of bandits is destroyed, there will naturally be another wave of bandits to occupy this place. ”
"Then come and go out with a wave. Lei Zhan gritted his teeth and said.
The village chief shook his head and said, "Why don't we want to, but where is this strength,"
"Okay, you guys go to bed early, anyway, Lan Xin will come back, and when the next time we collect protection money, we will negotiate with them, there should be no problem." Seeing that everyone had finished eating and put down their chopsticks, the village chief said that this was the best decision he thought was the best decision, and it was the best to be able to negotiate, and he didn't think that Lan Xin alone could beat more than fifty bandits, not to mention that there was a magician on the other side.
"Village chief, let's go out and look at the moon. Lei Zhan said to the village chief, and walked out, and gave a look to the friends at the table before leaving.
The village chief didn't think too much about it and said, "Come back early, the room is the one you lived in before, and it has been packed." ”
Lei Zhan was inexplicably moved when he heard that the village chief had cleaned up the room, which also strengthened his belief in helping the village solve this trouble.
In a small forest far away from the village chief's house, everyone stopped, and by this time it was already dark, and only the bright moon in the sky still shone on the mountain village.
"To go?" asked Lei Zhan.
"Go, of course. Ye Ziyi, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, responded, anyway, even if the sky fell, wouldn't there still be Ye Lantian to stand up.
"What do you think?" Lei Zhan asked the others, after all, this was a big operation, and we had to rely on everyone's strength. One more person, one more insurance.
"Well, Lan Xin and Goudan have a way to find out where the bandits live, as well as their numbers, if they can figure out what level of magician that magician is, it would be best. ”
"Okay, let's try it. Goudan and Lan Xin promised to go home, and they still had to ask the people in the village about this matter, after all, they had never seen this wave of bandits at all.
