"Childe, please drink water"

The old woman filled a worn-out porcelain bowl with water and placed it in front of Qin Lan, and behind her, the little girl was staring at Qin Lan curiously with her big watery eyes

Qin Lan drank all the water in the bowl and asked:

"Old man, the environment here has not been so bad in the future, what has happened in the past two years?"

The old woman sighed heavily and said:

"Gongzi doesn't know that from the appearance of the sandstorm that ravaged the western part of Ganzhou two years ago to the present, the environment in Ganzhou has become worse and worse, and the rich families have left, leaving only some landlords and gentry and the old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot afford to move away."

Qin Lan's expression was slightly moved, and he asked solemnly:

"What about the imperial court, in the event of such a disaster, the imperial court should distribute disaster relief funds."

Who knew that the old woman's face was even more sad after hearing this, and she said:

"The imperial court approved the first batch of disaster relief funds two years ago, but we Ganzhou locals have never seen it, it is said that it was lost, and it has not been found yet."

"After that, the imperial court successively issued a lot of disaster relief funds, but in the end they were all gone"

"It is said that the person who escorted the disaster relief funds was corrupt and ran away with the money!"

Qin Lan frowned, and asked in a cold voice:

"Where is the person who escorted the supplies now, hasn't he been punished yet?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "There is no movement, this person seems to have disappeared out of thin air, no one can find out, but I vaguely heard that this person's surname is Zhai."

"Surname Zhai?"

Qin Lan muttered it in his mouth, and the young swordsman with a bronzed complexion and a hearty smile suddenly flashed in his mind, and then shook his head, laughing at himself in his heart:

What I've been thinking about all day, how can these two be one person?

Just as Qin Lan was about to ask the old woman something in detail, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance

The old woman's expression changed greatly when she heard this, and she pushed Qin Lan to find a place to hide, and shouted in her mouth, "Hide quickly, don't let them find out"

Qin Lan asked puzzledly, "Why is the old man in such a hurry, and who are he afraid of being discovered?" ”

The old woman took the little girl's hand and was about to drill under the bed, and said as she drilled:

"It's the people of Qingfeng Village, they come to rob the people's money, they will do it every once in a while, and we don't have anything left until now, we can only hide and pretend that there is no one in the house"

When the old woman said this, her cloudy eyes became sad again, and she choked up:

"If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely leave here with this girl, but I can't walk now, who can walk with such a young child......"

Qin Lan was greatly moved, and said in a deep voice:

"Old man, don't worry, no one will hurt you with me today!"

The old woman suddenly became anxious, and pulled Qin Lan's cuffs and said:

"Silly boy, what are you talking about, how can you be the opponent of that group of people, hurry up and hide with me, and when they leave, you can also quickly leave this place!"

It's no wonder that the old man thinks so, Qin Lan is dressed in cloth at the moment, looking like an ordinary traveler, who would have thought that he would be an extremely strong man who can slash the elders of the Five Divine Temples

Qin Lan looked moved between her eyebrows, gently brushed the old man's hand that was gripping the cuff, and said softly:

"Old man, don't be afraid, I'll go and go back"

If Ye Xiaoxiao was here at this time, she would be surprised to find that Qin Lan's tone of voice at this time was somewhat similar to her

Even Qin Lan himself didn't notice the subtle influence of this Ye Xiaoxiao on himself

But instead, Qin Lan put on a cold expression and stood at the door like a city wall

"Brothers, clean up this village for me from house to house, and move out everything that can be exchanged for money!"

Brother Leopard's voice sounded, and a group of people swept towards the village like locusts in transit, and soon came to the room where Qin Lan was

"Where did you come from, the acquaintance quickly dodged away!"

is still the little brother who followed Brother Leopard before, but this time he rushed to the front

So he's about to pour blood mold

Qin Lan frowned, didn't say a word of nonsense, clenched his fist and hit the little brother's chest casually

The little brother's chest cavity collapsed suddenly, and his body flew towards the crowd like a kite with a broken string, and after smashing a piece, the blood continued to leak out of his mouth, and his body twitched and seemed to be unable to survive

The people around all gasped when they saw this, and when they looked at Qin Lan again, their eyes became frightened, and they all retreated

And although Qin Lan's figure was thin, in the eyes of the little girl hiding under the bed at this moment, she looked so tall that she couldn't help but scream

"Brother, good job!"

The old woman beside her was so frightened that she quickly covered the girl's mouth, praying that these gangsters would not find out, but there was a lot of awe in her eyes when she looked at Qin Lan

Qin Lan turned around and gave a kind smile, then pulled over a chair and sat against the wall, with a casual posture as if the bandits were nothing, and said casually to one of the bandits:

"Go and call your leader, and I'll ask for two words."

The man who was stopped by Qin Lan didn't dare to disobey, and then trotted to find Brother Leopard and explained the situation here to him one by one

Brother Leopard was upset and irritable at this time because he didn't have the opportunity to taste the stunning color he caught three days ago, and he had nowhere to vent, but after listening to it, his eyes lit up, and he said in his heart:

Isn't this a door-to-door punch bag? It just so happens that uncle, I have no energy to do anything!

After a while, Brother Leopard strode in front of Qin Lan, stared at his eyes the size of copper bells, and said in a rough voice:

"Who didn't open his eyes and injured my little brother and still wants to see me?"

After seeing Qin Lan's ferocity, the bandits didn't dare to squeak, but they kept looking at Qin Lan

Brother Leopard looked at the bandits suspiciously, and saw a thin young man leaning on the chair leisurely, and couldn't help laughing

"You guys, have you been out and mixed up in the dog's belly for so many years? A little kid whose haven't grown yet is worth all the fuss you make, even if he's a little cultivated? Give him to me, along with the people behind him! ”

Obviously, Brother Leopard had just noticed the noise coming from Qin Lan's room, it was the old woman who was trying her best to hide the little girl

If Qin Lan is not here today, the little girl will not be spared

It's a pity that there are no ifs

Qin Lan saw that the big man in front of him didn't take himself in his eyes like this, and he was not angry, but just sat up straight quietly

He has always liked to talk nonsense

In the next second, I saw Qin Lan's figure flash in front of Brother Leopard like a ghost, and before he could react, he clasped one hand on his face, and then with a force under his feet, he looked at the back of the head of the big man who was more than a head taller than Qin Lan and was slammed to the ground by Qin Lan

boom

The ground instantly rose full of dust, and a human-shaped crater appeared at the place where Brother Leopard fell

Look at the leopard brother who has been thrown and is unconscious

"I know you're not dead, because I deliberately controlled the strength, now to answer my question, who asked you to come?"

Qin Lan's cold voice sounded in Brother Leopard's ears, making Brother Leopard, who originally wanted to pretend to be dead, shudder suddenly, and said in his heart

Damn, where did this monster come from, it has such terrifying powers

If he hadn't been a little stronger, he would have been killed by Qin Lan this time!

At this time, Brother Leopard was already full of fear and had no intention of resisting

He could clearly feel that even if he moved more and said a word now, he would die

Damn, which little bitch brought me here just now, and let me know that I had to kill him!

Brother Leopard thought hatefully in his heart, but he didn't dare to have a trace of disrespect on his lips, and said to Qin Lan urgently:

"The one in charge is the one who wants us to collect the belongings and beauties, because in two days the people of the Heng Temple will come to my Qingfeng Village, and the second master will take this opportunity to dedicate to the messenger of the temple."

It's the Five Temples again!

And forcibly kidnapping women everywhere!?

Qin Lan's eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness, and he asked murderously:

"Say, how many women have you brutes taken captive so far!? Where are they now? ”

Brother Leopard replied in a trembling voice:

"From three days ago to now, one of them has been taken captive, and now he is locked up in the stockade, and no one is in serious trouble"

When Qin Lan heard that the person was okay for the time being, her face softened a little, she picked up Brother Leopard with one hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Take me to see your master, don't reveal my identity first, just say that I was introduced by you to join your Qingfeng Village, I believe you can do this little thing well, right!?"

Feeling the gradually increasing grip on his face, Brother Leopard said continuously:

"Yes, yes, yes"

"Very good"

Qin Lan's face was expressionless, and he put down Brother Leopard casually, and said, "Don't show me the way yet!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes"

Brother Leopard rubbed his hands together, looking flattering, and saw the little brother around him in shock

When have they ever seen the appearance of Brother Leopard, who is usually majestic in the village

Without waiting for the bandits to follow, Qin Lan paused, frightened Brother Leopard's huge body, and asked tentatively:

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Qin Lan pointed to the old house behind him and said, "Go back, you will take someone to decorate this village for me, replace the daily necessities in it with new ones, and give each family more money."

"This ......"

Brother Leopard was a little hesitant, he was not the head of the village, how could he make up his mind about this kind of thing

"What, isn't it easy to do?"

Qin Lan raised her eyebrows and asked

Sensing the displeasure on Qin Lan's face, the corner of Brother Leopard's mouth pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said:

"Good to do, good to do"

"That's pretty much it"

Qin Lan nodded contentedly and walked forward happily

Seeing this, Brother Leopard beckoned his subordinates to hurry up, and after a while, the menacing bandits all went back with their tails between their legs, and they didn't dare to gasp

After Qin Lan took people away, the old woman dared to take the little girl to crawl out from under the bed, and the little girl's eyes were full of longing and said:

"That big brother is so powerful, if I can be like him, I don't have to be afraid of being bullied"

The old woman touched the girl's head and said with emotion:

"There are a lot of kind-hearted people in this world, but there are very few people who have good intentions and the ability to do good deeds, fortunately our mother and I met one today"

The little girl thought for a moment, and then shouted in a childish voice:

"Big brother, you have to take care! A good man has a safe life! ”

Brother Leopard, who was walking behind Qin Lan, vaguely heard the little girl's voice, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in his heart:

Fortunately, I've been rampant in Ganzhou for so many years, and I've never seen a more murderous figure than today!
