Chapter Fifty-Three: Leaving Youmai Village
Among the few people who squeezed in, a man in fancy clothes stood up and spoke. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Stop arguing, everyone, and listen to me. ”
The people around them quieted down, and although many of them showed disgust at the man in fancy clothes, it did not prevent them from continuing to listen.
"If any of you have your daughter robbed by a thief, stand up. ”
The man in fancy clothes paused for a moment, and no one stepped forward.
"Which of you went to escort the deposit, and who went with you to bring back the girl who was taken captive? ”
Again, no one came forward.
"It was very unfortunate that the bandits came to our village, killed our villagers, robbed us of our belongings, and kidnapped our girl. But does this have anything to do with these heroes?"
"Have you ever thought about the dangers that several heroes went through to get people back? How many of you thanked several heroes?"
"Obviously, none of you have thanked the heroes, and you don't care about the dangers that the heroes have gone through. How much did you do for this after the whole thing happened?"
"The money was made up by a few of us and the old village chief, and you are not willing to pay a penny at all. None of you would like to join this operation except Ah Fu. ”
"Who are you to say about these heroes?"
The villagers were silent, some silently left the small square, and most of them remained.
"It's you! You wicked merchant brought the thieves to the village! Before you came to the village, everyone lived in peace, and they had no worries about food and clothing. Ever since the old man brought your family to the village, the village has changed, and everyone is no longer farming. You see that your house is so beautifully repaired, isn't that a clear plan for bandits to harass us?"
Someone in the silent crowd retorted.
"Don't talk about my grandfather!" cried out the girl of the old village chief, as if the other party's words had hurt her heavily.
"Your grandfather, that selfish old man! Ever since he became the village chief, he has only thought about how to benefit himself. Let everyone do this and that, and in the end he gets rich, but everyone suffers, how many times? We all have to starve in the winter, and they say who caused this?"
"That's right! It's all the bane of the old village chief's selfish man!"
"That's it, I brought the bandits here, and I blame us for not having anyone to help. How can there be such a reason?"
"Don't talk about my grandfather anymore! You murderers!" the old village chief's girl could not stop crying after she finished scolding, and when she returned to the village, someone told her about the old village chief being forced to die.
Because the old village chief's intention to save them a few girls in fancy clothes was leaked, the people in the village tied the old village chief to this small square and interrogated him for a day.
In the end, the old village chief couldn't stand the toss and left this world.
The angry villagers did not let the old village chief go, and directly piled firewood under the wooden pillar that tied him, tied the old village chief's body to the pillar and burned it. After that, the old village chief's house was also looted.
"Murderer, your grandfather, you don't know how vicious it is, just squeezing our money. Even if you only think about such an important thing as saving people, don't other girls matter? I just plan to save the daughters of a few rich people. Don't you think we should kill such people?"
"We're the ones who killed us! We're going to get our money back. The ransom money is the hard-earned money of the people in our village, and it was all tricked into your pocket by your hateful grandpa. ”
"That's right! That's our money! Give us back!"
People began to go crazy, and some people rushed to the carriage to snatch the box containing the ransom, but Ah Fu held him to the death, and did not let the man succeed.
There were also people who went to beat the old village chief's daughter and two other girls in fancy clothes, and some went to push the man in fancy clothes who spoke before.
The scene was completely out of control, as an outsider, Mo He was not easy to shoot, the opponent was just a few ordinary farmers, and it was easy to hurt them if the strength was not well controlled, and even if it was reasonable, it became unreasonable at that time.
Wren didn't dare to act rashly either, but the sound of several girls being beaten and screaming made him frown, as if he was being pinched by a hand inside.
Sha Anna didn't seem to be unfamiliar with this kind of scene, she habitually squatted down with her head in her hands, Mo He could only walk up to her and touch her head to comfort her and tell her not to worry.
When the eighth master was holding his head in Sha Anna, he had already lost interest in continuing to play with the small animals conjured by various magic in his hands, and his face showed a very unhappy expression.
The eighth master stood up, walked to Wren who was holding a shield to protect everyone, and stomped the wooden staff in his hand hard.
Boom!
It's loud and clear, even in such a noisy and chaotic little square, everyone can still hear it clearly, as clearly as when their own heart is torn.
After this sound, the whole world was much quieter.
Viewed from above, the whole small square looks like a white flower, and the petals are thin translucent ice chips, which are not flat pieces, but have folds and textures like cloth, and these folds are caused by the villagers in the square being sealed in ice.
Except for Mo He, Sha Anna, Ren and Ba Ye, the entire small square was frozen up.
"I'm finally willing to listen to the eighth master quietly. The eighth master walked slowly among the ice petals, and by the way, he admired the expressions of the villagers at the moment when they were frozen.
Some gritted their teeth, some were angry and tangled, some were frightened and withdrawn, and some were indifferent.
"The eighth master has worked hard for so many days, and I still think that you will entertain some wine and food. In order to help you solve this matter, do you know how many days the eighth master has not drunk? That's how you thank the eighth master?"
The eighth master snapped his fingers.
The surrounding ice petals all shattered with a bang, of course, the villagers did not shatter, but the wrapped frost automatically fell off and quickly turned into water when it fell to the ground.
Everyone stood in the square wet, still maintaining the previous frozen movements, and then they reacted, some shouted to run away, and some apologized and begged for mercy: "Master Mage, spare your life!
Others stood in place with their soaked clothes in their arms, shivering.
"Commander, let's hurry up and clear the task reward! Eighth Master, I don't want to stay here anymore. The eighth master changed his serious tone and turned into a little girl who had been wronged and said to Mo He.
Mo He secretly scolded the eighth master in his heart for being an old fox, he did the thing himself, but he threw the pot to him.
He scolded so much in his heart, but on the surface he said with a serious face: "We will leave after the payment is cleared." By the way, I forgot to tell you something: this time our mission was originally to ransom people, but now these girls who are back are all from the cottage robbery, which means that the bandits may come back to settle accounts with you. ”
"What? You've provoked the bandits again? What can I do?
"Get out of here, you people are not welcome in our village. ”
"Hey, you guys be quiet, don't you want to die? Master Mage will hear you. ”
"Shh
"Okay! We don't take much commission. As I said before, the participating mercenaries will have fifty silver coins per person, and there will be four of us in total, and a total of two gold coins will be charged as commissions. Mo He had a hideous expression on his face, speaking to the village chief who seemed to be newly elected, he felt the same as the eighth master, this village can't stay, he can't learn the eighth master's gentle means of controlling the situation.
"Okay, okay! Wait a minute, we'll pay you at once. The new village chief came to Ah Fu and said a few words to Ah Fu, who opened the ransom box and took out two gold coins for him.
Then the new village chief hurriedly took the gold coin and handed it to Mo He.
Mo He didn't talk nonsense with these people anymore, let Ren lead the horse, the eighth master led Sha Anna, and the four of them went directly to the outside of the village.
Out of the village, there was a noisy sound in the distance behind the four people, thinking that those people had started to grab the ransom again.
"Don't be sad. Think about what to do next. The eighth master's voice rang out, interrupting everyone's silence.
"I'm not familiar with the road, Eighth Master, you decide where we will stop next. Mo He looked around, and then said to the eighth master.
"Okay, let's go to Turtle Rock City. Although we don't have to go through there to go to Wutong City, we can go there to pick up some tasks, and by the way, the eighth master also wants to drink some wine. ”
The eighth master observed the direction and pointed to the direction of the east.
"Okay, let's go to Turtle Rock Castle together. By the way, Eighth Master, this is what we agreed before, and half of the task remuneration will be yours. Mo He threw a gold coin to the eighth master.
The eighth master took it with a smile, then stuffed it into his arms, and then said to everyone: "There will be a dead wood town halfway in a while, and we can spend the night there." ”
Sure enough, as the eighth master said, he passed by a town before nightfall.
This town is bigger than the bell town that Mo He frequented before, but there are fewer people.
There is a large dead tree in the middle of the town, it is not true to say that it is a dead tree, this tree is not dead, but the leaves are very sparse, and it looks like a bare tree from a distance.
Because the terrain here is uneven and there are more stones, the houses in the town are more scattered, which is the reason why there are fewer people than Bell Town.
Due to the scattered houses, the town is dark at night, and if there are no house torches and wooden fences nearby, it is no different from the wilderness.
Since it was similar to the wilderness, Mo He and the others did not plan to stay in a hotel, so they found a place where they could camp and began to set up camp.
Mo He and Ba Ye went to the bar in the town to buy food, because the bar mainly sells all kinds of beer and several low-grade fruit wines, and Ba Ye couldn't look down on it, so he brought a small bucket of local famous blueberry juice back to drink with everyone.
Everyone was very satisfied with the dinner, and Shaanna still ate a lot of food, and after she had eaten and drunk enough, she listened to Wren's bedtime story as before, and she fell asleep before the story was finished.
The eighth master gently called Ren next to Sha Anna, and then sat in front of the bonfire with Mo He, as if he had something important to say to everyone.
