Chapter 51: Bandits
Under the influence of silver, the villagers actively prepared dinner for the White Lotus Sect.
There were a total of sixteen people, and even if many villagers helped together, it still took a lot of effort to make two tables of food.
The White Lotus Sect sat down, but no one moved their chopsticks first.
"Let's eat them all, go to bed early after eating, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Xu Rong is still quite satisfied with the performance of these people, at least he is becoming more and more obedient.
With Xu Rong's words, the White Lotus Sect immediately began to cook.
After a day's journey, I ate some dry food on the way, which was naturally not as good as this hot rice.
It takes a lot of time to cook, but it only takes a quarter of an hour to eat.
The old village chief leaned over, and when he saw that everyone had finished eating, he said: "The place to stay has also been arranged for everyone, but the conditions are simple, and I hope that you Haihan." ”
From the old village chief's conversation, as well as his reaction when he received the money before, Xu Rong realized that this old village chief should be unusual when he was young.
However, they are only here for one night, and there are some things that do not need to be investigated.
"The village chief said and laughed, it's good to have a place to sleep, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wilderness, and it will be cold tonight, maybe we will be infected with the wind cold."
Xu Rong smiled and exchanged a few words with the old village chief, and then took the others to stay in a few houses.
The people were tired of the day's journey, and they slept quickly.
Soon, the village was completely covered in night, and there was no light in sight.
Only the light of the half-pulled moon in the sky made it possible to barely see the road clearly in this night.
In the middle of the night, just when everyone was sleeping soundly, the sound of horses' hooves woke Xu Rong up.
He listened carefully for a while, and found that it was indeed the sound of horses' hooves, and that there were quite a few of them, at least thirty or forty horses.
It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to get closer.
Xu Rong immediately shouted: "Get up, there are enemies!" ”
His words were like a thunderclap that spread far away in the darkness of the night.
Even the dogs, who had already fallen asleep, barked one after another.
The whole village suddenly went from silence to liveliness.
Outside the village, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of bandits heard the barking of dogs one after another, and at the same time, there were lights lit up.
"Boss, did we find out in advance?"
A fat man asked angrily.
And what he called the boss was the leader of this gang of bandits.
The leader of the bandits was tall, with a rough face, and one eye was covered by an eyepatch, and he looked fierce.
"If you find out, you will find out, can't we have so many brothers and still can't take a small village?"
The bandit leader waved his hand, "Rush in for me, and kill everyone for fear of them, so that they know not to resist us, they will fear us!" ”
"Whoa......"
Like hungry wolves, a group of bandits drove their horses and rushed towards the village.
At this time, the villagers walked out of their houses one by one with dung forks and other weapons.
Even the people of the White Lotus Sect came to the door one after another with their clothes and weapons under Xu Rong's warning.
"When the people of the village listened, they gave me all your money and food, otherwise we would not be so easy to talk about when we came to fetch it ourselves!"
The leader of the bandits sat on his horse and looked condescendingly at the many villagers.
The old village chief slowly walked to the front: "This leader, our village is a poor village, and we can't even support ourselves, where is the money?" If we give you enough food to eat, how will we live? ”
"Hmph, it's your own business, what's our business? Old thing, honestly let people take out the money and food, and I can spare your life. ”
"But if you still play tricks with me, then I will slaughter this village tonight!"
The bandit leader's fierce gaze swept over the villagers present, and no one dared to face it, all of them lowered their heads.
The old village chief sighed: "There is one death on the left and right, then don't blame us for dying, and we will have to ask for a piece of meat on you!" ”
"Hahaha...... Do you hear what this old thing says? ”
The leader of the bandits laughed, and the other bandits laughed too, as if they had encountered something extremely funny.
"Old thing, if you want to break the net with us, you don't have the strength yet, I'll send you on the road now!"
The bandit leader slapped the horse's buttocks, and immediately drove the horse towards the old village chief, the knife in his hand, under the light of the moon, emitted a cold light.
The sharp blade fell, and seeing that the old village chief was about to die, many villagers were also angry, but it was too late.
At this moment, a stone hit the body of the knife, directly breaking the knife in half, and the huge force from the body of the knife almost made the bandit leader fall off his horse.
The bandits, who were originally rampant, were stunned when they saw this sudden situation.
"Who is it?"
The bandit leader straightened up and asked with a sneering voice.
But he was manipulating the reins and letting the horse go backwards.
Although his saber is not a divine weapon, it is also made of iron and is very strong.
Being able to break a knife with a single stone is certainly not something he can deal with.
The villagers also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
If the old village chief is gone, then their village will be in chaos, and the bandits will be even more unscrupulous.
Maybe they'll all die tonight.
Although they didn't know who was the one who made the shot, the eyes of the villagers still turned to the White Lotus Sect.
The villagers themselves know the roots, and they wish they had a few hairs to know.
The only variable, and that is those who come to spend the night tonight.
Xu Rong stepped out, looked at the bandit leader who was constantly retreating, and asked loudly, "What?" Do you want to run? Wasn't it quite arrogant just now, but now what about your self-confidence? ”
"Who the hell are you?"
The bandit leader looked at Xu Rong, whose face was still a little immature, and his heart was shocked.
Just now he thought it was some master who did it, which made his heart beat wildly.
But now it's a teenager who has appeared.
"Me? I'm just a passer-by. ”
Xu Rong's eyes swept calmly over the many bandits, thinking about killing all of them with the manpower needed.
He hadn't absorbed his soul with a Soul Devouring Bead for a while, and now he was stuck in two-thirds of the way, and he hadn't made any progress for a long time, but tonight he might be able to complete it and start the next analysis of the soul fragment.
"Boy, do you think we're scared of you?"
The bandit leader is obviously also aware that although Xu Rong's martial arts are high, they have a horse match, and they may not be able to fight.
