Chapter 12: An Unexpected Discovery

When you have a goal in mind, your steps will become firm.

On the way down the mountain, Lu Wei and the fat man walked very quickly.

When he saw the big stone with the name of the village engraved on it outside Linxi Village again, the fat man immediately ran forward.

The faintly flashing figure at the entrance of the village made Lu Wei keenly realize that something was wrong with the situation, and she grabbed the fat man:

"Wait, someone. ”

Then the two of them left the dirt road into the village, went around to the back of the village, and walked along the narrow gap of several wooden houses to a low wall.

Lu Wei quietly poked his head out, and saw several people who looked like servants moving the corpses of villagers to a large pit not far from the entrance of the village.

And the figures she saw outside the village were Zhou Kui and an official talking by the pit.

“............ I don't know ............ Bandits are in trouble............ Cooperate with ............"

Because of the distance, the conversation came intermittently. However, based on these few sentences alone, Lu Wei can also deduce a rough idea: it is nothing more than Zhou Kui saying that he has no knowledge of the affairs of Linxi Village, and it is estimated that it is a rebellion caused by bandits, and they will fully cooperate with the government's investigation and so on.

The official nodded in satisfaction, stopped a servant and said a word, and the man poured fire oil into the pit and threw out the fire fold.

Looking at the fire that ignited in an instant, Lu Weiwei's heart jumped. She hurriedly looked at the fat man, for fear that he would not be able to help but run over.

Fortunately, he just gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his fists, and his eyes were red but he didn't move a bit.

The two of them watched as the corpses of the villagers burned in the fire, and the hatred in their eyes grew stronger and stronger like this flame.

When the sound of the horse's hooves leaving Zhou Kui and the others finally disappeared, the fat man couldn't hold back his howl anymore and rushed over.

Lu Wei was silently by his side, what he should have said was said yesterday, let him vent it out now.

After crying bitterly, the fat man went to find a shovel to set up a tomb for the villagers and his father.

Lu Wei looked around the messy village, and there was always an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart.

She walked through all the wooden houses in the neighborhood, carefully observing each one, but found nothing unusual except that the contents of the house were turned over and messed up.

"What's wrong? This strange feeling doesn't come out of nowhere, there must be something obvious that has been overlooked. She frowned, thinking about what had happened that day.

Linxi Village was slaughtered because they couldn't hand over the extra five elixirs, and when they returned, all the villagers were dead, and only the Zhou family was still searching inside and outside the house, and then they were found hunted down......

Search-messy-hunt-hunt-and-kill

Untidy?

That's it!

Lu Wei finally faced the place where the discord was disobeyed.

She remembered that the fat man on the mountain that day had said that the five elixirs that were handed over were only added this month. But why did the Zhou family forcibly assign it when they knew that the villagers could not do it at all? Moreover, if the villagers had an elixir, they would take the initiative to hand it over for safety, so why did they need to rummage around? Not to mention that even if they could not hand over the elixir, they would just threaten and intimidate, smash things and beat people, so why did they have to slaughter the village?

Unless- the ultimate goal of the Zhou family is only to kill people, and they will not leave a living mouth!

The search for Linxi Village must have been because there was something in the village that they needed, but they didn't know where it was. Whether it was Zhou Kui himself who had received the order, or in order to prevent the rumors from leaking, the final outcome of Linxi Village could not escape being killed.

Looking at the fat man who kept filling the corpse pit, Lu Wei decided not to tell him about it yet. After all, this was just her speculation, and the truth was still unknown, so why bother to increase his troubles and let him cultivate with peace of mind.

She walked to the big stone at the entrance of the village, took out her master's sword, and used Lingyuan to split two stone tablets, and then inserted them in front of the grave that had been buried.

In one piece, she only engraved the five words "Linxi Village Folks", while the other piece was engraved by the fat man with the name of his father.

The two knelt in front of the tomb together and kowtowed three times.

"Father, mother, I will definitely avenge you, you can rest assured. ”

"Folks, Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, don't worry, the only thing that will be able to slash Zhou Kui and let him pay for his blood debts. ”

There is no moonlight in the sky this night, and Linxi Village is dark and silent this night, and the noise of the villagers will never be heard from now on, and 'Linxi Village' will no longer be remembered by people......

Early in the morning, the two collected some daily necessities from each family. To live in Yukiyama for half a year, a change of clothes and food such as salt are essential.

Lu Weiwei put these into the ring, and secretly reminded himself that he would definitely get one for the fat man if he had the opportunity in the future. It's not that she's stingy, although she has space, but this ring was left to her by the master and can't be given to others.

The fat man sprinkled the remaining oil on the wooden house, then lit it with a torch, and the fire quickly spread throughout the village.

After doing all this, he came to the entrance of the village and walked out side by side with Lu Weiwei, who was waiting beside him.

After a few steps forward, he couldn't help but stand on his feet and look back at his home, which was almost consumed by the flames.

Lu Wei patted him on the shoulder: "Don't look at it, let's go." ”

Listening to her footsteps in the distance, the fat man took one last look, exhaled heavily, turned his head and resolutely left the place where he had lived for fourteen years with Lu Wei.

=====================

On the way back to the cave, Lu Wei kept demonstrating in his mind the body moves in the first volume of the 'Ten Thousand Dao Scrolls'.

The more she looked at it, the more familiar it felt.

"The fist is not centrifuged, the elbow is not separated from the ribs, the fist is not separated from the elbow, and the elbow is not separated from the bosom...... Transform the heart with the Tao, and incarnate the heart with the heart. ”

Wait, isn't that the same as modern martial arts!

If that guess is correct, then she knows how to train herself.

After walking out of the mountain forest, Lu Wei couldn't wait to cut down two trees, make them into human-height wooden stakes, slapped them into the ground, and wrapped them with hemp rope from top to bottom.

She tried to throw a punch.

"Bang!"

"Click, click!"

............

Lu Wei covered his face.

Hey, her lack of heart and eyes is really lacking a new height. Why did you forget to put away the spirit element? This spirit pinnacle punched out, even if ten wooden stakes were bundled together, they had to be broken.

Gotta make another one.

The fat man was stunned and watched Lu Wei discount the wooden stake and redo it in a hurry, he really didn't understand what she wanted.

After thinking about it, he kindly persuaded: "Oh the only one, why do you have to cut down the tree and then discount it, in fact, isn't it easier for you to interrupt it directly." ”

Lu Wei glanced at him fiercely, and said in a tone that hated iron but not steel: "It's terrible to have no culture! Sister was going to discount it just now? Sister is trying its endurance, do you understand? Do you know what it's for? Tell you, you remember, this is the best item for practicing body moves - wooden stakes." You can pretend to be an enemy and attack it. After such repeated practice, whether you are close to the other person or the other party is approaching you, you can easily take the initiative or dodge the attack. Balabala......"

Hmph, she would never admit that this was a serious nonsense made to prevent the fat man from knowing the truth.
