Chapter 31: Departure
The bandits eventually retreated, and the villagers carried the unconscious old village chief home. Everything today is a huge shock to all. I didn't expect that weird iron box to attract horse bandits, and I didn't expect the old village chief who looked sick on weekdays to have such a strong strength. Seeing that the invincible bandit capital had fallen to the hands of the village chief, people were still happy. After all, there is no one who does not cherish their lives.
After the old village chief was settled, everyone did not leave, but waited quietly in the courtyard, hoping that the village chief's son could give them a reasonable explanation. Although the village chief saved them, there was still a lot of incomprehension about the village chief's concealment of the box. In their opinion, as long as the box was handed over, nothing would have happened.
Looking at the villagers outside, Uncle Niu was also helpless. These people are not suspicious of the village chief's actions, they just want to know the reason, and the village chief has been very good to everyone for so many years.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's event is something that no one expected. As we all know, my father traveled on the mainland when he was young, and by chance, he entered a sect and became a martial artist. Uncle Niu opened his mouth to explain to this person.
O warrior!
Hearing these words, all the villagers were amazed. In the eyes of these people, a warrior represents power. No wonder the old village chief can still defeat the bandit leader when he is old, but what about this coma?
"Originally, my father's cultivation was far stronger than now, but because of his youth and vigor, he offended people and was seriously injured before returning to the village. Although his injuries have healed now, he has left an incurable root of the disease, and his cultivation has been reduced a lot, and he can't easily use force, so his father hasn't looked like a martial artist all these years. This coma was the after-effect of that injury. Uncle Niu is in a very heavy mood narrator, from a martial artist who has cultivated to a powerful martial artist to an ordinary old man, in this continent where strength is respected, this kind of blow is not something that ordinary people can accept.
Looking at the big cow who was in a bad mood, everyone was also depressed in their hearts. How could such a good person as the old village chief encounter these things? With his character, he will never provoke others first, and others must be at fault first.
After reining in his mood for a moment, Da Niu continued: "Although my father doesn't know what that box is, what is certain is that the box must be something from the martial arts world, and it is very likely that it is a treasure or something. When you gave the box to your father, he warned me not to reveal the slightest information about the box. Cultivators are not good people, and they absolutely do it to kill people and sell goods in order to get treasures. The reason why my father didn't hand over the box was because he was afraid that those people would kill people after they got the things. ”
Speaking of which, everyone is clear, it turns out that it is not that the village chief wants to keep the box, but that he does not dare to hand it over.
"Alright, let's go back for now. Everything will be said when my father wakes up. It was already night, and Da Niu was also worried about his father's situation, and he was not in the mood to continue.
The villagers also knew that now was not the time to stay here, although they were also worried about the safety of the old village chief, but it was useless for them to stay here with the care of their families, so they all left.
The old village chief's family is still guarding the left and right, and the old village chief woke up in the middle of the night, looking at the person who was guarding him in front of him, and his heart was still relieved.
"I'm fine, I'm sick, just get a good night's sleep. Da Niu, you go and inform everyone to pack up their luggage for the coming year, and leave all the unimportant things behind, and we will move the whole village early tomorrow morning. The old village chief spoke, his voice still full of weakness, but his eyes contained deep worry.
Uncle Niu was also surprised, "Father, is the matter so serious?
"You haven't traveled on the mainland, and you don't know how powerful a martial artist is for cultivating treasures. The vision of heaven and earth when the box came that day must have been noticed by someone. Although they don't know what is inside the box, they will never give up the possible treasures in the hands of ordinary people like Wumen.
Originally, if the matter had not been exposed, we would have escaped, but now those people will definitely not give up. Even if a warrior like me is found in the village now, I can't deter them just by looking at me. We have to get them away, or we won't have a chance to leave when they come back. The feeling of uneasiness always surrounded the old village chief's heart, as if there was an inevitable calamity to come. I hope those people don't come too early, they don't have any combat effectiveness now, and the people in the village have no one to drink those horse bandits to fight against.
Listening to Uncle Niu here, he also discovered the seriousness of the matter, if he can't leave in time??????" Father, I'll go and inform them now. We'll leave early tomorrow morning. The time was urgent, and he didn't say hello to the old village chief, turned around and left the house, informing the people in the village to go.
"Xiuxiang, I'm fine, you go clean up too, and sleep clean when you're done, we're afraid we're going to have a hard time, hey~" The old village chief instructed his daughter-in-law.
Aunt Niu saw that the village chief was indeed fine, and wanted to hurry up and pack up her things and leave, "Father, then you have a good rest, and call me if you have anything." ”
"Well, go get busy. Xiaotian stays, grandpa has something to say to you. ”
"Okay, grandpa. ”
There were only two people left in the house, Ling Tian and the old village chief, although he didn't know what the village chief and grandfather were doing when he stayed here, but there must be something to tell him, so he waited quietly.
"A young age is the pinnacle of the foundation building realm. Shall I say you are a genius or a fool?" the old village chief looked at the roof and spat out this sentence faintly.
Ling Tian's heart trembled, it turned out that my grandfather had long known that I was also a martial artist. But what does grandpa mean by what he said?
"Grandpa, what do you mean by that? You don't suspect that I was taken back to the village in a coma by the river, and I arranged it all by myself, and the purpose was for what kind of box, right?" Ling Tian was so smart, it only took a moment to figure out what the village chief's grandfather said.
"Isn't it?" Turning his head, the pair of eagle eyes on his dry face stared deeply into Ling Tian's eyes.
Ling Tian didn't do anything wrong, so he was naturally not afraid to look at him.
Half a ring, or Ling Tianxian couldn't take it away, under the gaze of your old village chief, there was a feeling that any secret had to be seen through. Although Ling Tian hadn't done any of these things, none of the secrets on his body were more shocking than this one.
"Grandpa, since you doubt Xiaotian, then Xiaotian will leave. As he spoke, he really wanted to turn around and leave, but he had to take Yan'er with him.
"Stay, stay and help me. Just as Ling Tian was about to walk out of the door, the old village chief called a halt. Turning his head and looking at the village chief's grandfather, Ling Tian was confused. What's going on?
"Those words just now are all grandpa testing you, but from your words, grandpa didn't feel the slightest deception. At the beginning, I knew that your martial arts cultivation was still wary of you everywhere, but you didn't have the slightest bad intentions, which made me relax my guard against you a lot, when I cried in your aunt's arms before, I completely let down my guard against you, how could such an affectionate child have such scheming.
The temptation just now is the final test at any time, I hope you don't blame grandpa. After all, grandpa is responsible for the whole village. ”
"God knows, but grandpa said he wanted me to help you, how can you help?"
"The cultivation in the later stage of the foundation building realm is still very strong. In case you encounter someone on the way to the migration, Grandpa hopes that you can save these people in the village if you can. Of course, if you encounter a strong enemy, you have to leave as soon as possible, and if you can go, you are also my child. ”
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will definitely do my best to protect my aunts and uncles. Because you are all members of Xiaotian's family. Ling Tian's hands clenched a little pale, and his eyes were firm.
Whoever wants to hurt my Ling Tian's family has to ask me first!
Looking at Ling Tian like this, the village chief also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With a person at the peak of the Foundation Building Realm with you, everyone's safety will be greatly improved. Maybe it's really safe to leave.
