Hearing this, Chu Fan couldn't help but say, "This is a good thing, isn't your Quling Village protected by the Tianxian Gang?" ”

Xiaohua replied, "Didn't you see that the village chief was discussing this matter with those guys?" It is estimated that there will be no results this time. ”

"People are willing to help, why don't you agree?"

"We also want to, but we can't afford to pay the annuity."

Chu Fan suddenly realized, and couldn't help but scold: "I, it turns out that they came to collect protection money!" ”

At this time, Zhong Lifei said to the village chief: "This is your mistake, you are reluctant to pay protection money, so don't blame the Tianxian Gang for not protecting the village." ”

The village chief was stunned, and some couldn't react.

You also exposed He Chengyu's tricks just now, why did you help them speak in a blink of an eye?

Zhong Lifei laughed, turned his head and said to the people of the Tianxian Gang: "When doing business, you are most afraid of asking for a price, you can't be that the price is too outrageous, and the villagers can't afford it, right?" ”

He Chengyu said: "The Tianxian Gang has always been for the people, and they will never make black money, do they collect more than one hundred and twenty taels of silver a year?" ”

Zhong Lifei counted the accounts with his fingers.

"One hundred and two a year, ten taels a month, there are thirty-four families in the whole village, and a family pays three dollars a month to make up enough for this expense, not much!"

Afterwards, he said to the village chief: "You are too picky, won't you take the villagers' money to drink flower wine?" ”

The village chief's face turned white, and he hurriedly defended: "If it was in the past, let alone one hundred and twenty taels, even two hundred and forty taels is not too much." But now that the village is decaying like this, it's good that we can have enough to eat, but we really can't afford to spare money! ”

Another villager said, "Blame that damn plague!" It's really evil, most of the people who died of illness at that time were young adults, and the elderly and children were fine, and we are now short of labor for farming! ”

Chu Fan was puzzled when he heard this, his eyes swept over the villagers one by one, and found that most of the people present were old people, and there were also some children watching the excitement.

The rest are young people who have just grown up like Xiaohua.

And these people, when the plague happened, were only minor children.

Looking at these villagers again, all of them were yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, and they were dressed in tatters, Chu Fan knew that what the village chief said was the truth.

He couldn't bear it, and said to Zhong Lifei: "Master, why don't we help the villagers, they are too pitiful." ”

Zhong Lifei shouted, "Help? How can you help? Do you have the financial means or do you have the strength? ”

When the people of the Tianxian Gang heard it, they thought that the master and apprentice were useless waste, and they were about to find an excuse to slip away.

Zhong Lifei didn't leave, but said to the village chief: "Don't be brainless, as the saying goes, you don't suffer a loss by shopping around, I think the price of the Tianxian Gang is high, and you can find other sects to cultivate immortals." ”

He Chengyu said coldly on the side: "In the territory of Gu Shooting Country and Zhongrong Country, no one dares to steal business with our Tianxian Gang. ”

"No, how can you be so awesome!"

Zhong Lifei smiled evilly and said, "Village Chief, as long as you are willing to make this price, I will deal with those robbers who enter the village once and for all." ”

With that, he held out two fingers.

The village chief was speechless in anger, but the people of the Tianxian Gang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

And Chu Fan was already ashamed and couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

People can't even take out one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and if you actually want two hundred taels, a fool will do business with you.

At this time, Zhong Lifei said with a sincere face: "Think about it, you will regret it if you miss this opportunity." ”

The village chief replied angrily: "Don't tease the guests, we are all poor like this, where can we find two hundred taels of silver, two hundred copper plates are about the same." ”

"The answer is correct, I don't want star coins, I don't want gold and silver, I only need two hundred copper plates, and I don't want one more."

"What?"

The people present were stunned, and some even regarded Zhong Lifei as a madman talking nonsense.

After a long time, Chu Fan reacted and whispered, "Let's go, don't mix up here." ”

"Shut up!"

Zhong Lifei suddenly shouted: "My generation should punish evil and promote good when walking in the rivers and lakes, and help the weak!" How can you learn from those rats, relying on their cultivation to run rampant and domineering, and specialize in extortion! ”

Chu Fan looked at the master blankly, thinking that he had heard the wrong words, and seriously suspected that he was an imposter standing in front of him.

He Chengyu was angry on the spot, and after a long time, this guy played us tricks, and scolded himself in public for being a rat!

In an instant, he was vicious, and immediately raised his hand, ready to use his swordsmanship to teach Zhong Lifei.

Zhong Li Fei was very fine, and he had been secretly observing He Chengyu's movements when he spoke.

Seeing that the other party had a bad heart, his body shook and swept past like lightning.

With a "snap", Zhong Lifei clasped He Chengyu's right wrist.

"Bastard, what do you want to do?"

He Chengyu didn't expect Zhong Lifei to suddenly launch a sneak attack, so fast that he didn't have time to dodge.

Zhong Li Fei said ruthlessly: "I have already detained your vein, if you dare to make small moves, it will definitely make your true qi disordered, and your Yuan Shen will not be protected!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, several other Tianxian Gang disciples hurriedly raised their swords and stepped forward to rescue He Chengyu.

Zhong Lifei shouted again: "Don't move! I grew up living in the wilderness, and I sucked up the miasma there. If you wait for a reckless move, I will give the miasma to the surnamed He for free, so that he will be poisoned to death immediately! ”

The faces of the villagers present were horrified.

One move restrained He Chengyu, who was extremely powerful in their eyes, this ...... How can it be?

No wonder people dare to say big things, it turns out that he really has this ability!

He Chengyu was obviously frightened, and the cold sweat on his face flowed out.

Don't look at his previous arrogant speech, he is actually a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Hero, there is something to discuss, why bother hurting the harmony for a little thing!"

When Zhong Lifei heard this, his hand clasped tighter, stared at He Chengyu with a cold face, and said, "Go back to the Tianxian Gang, Hugh is messing around here." ”

He Chengyu immediately agreed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Let's go back and never come to Quling Village again. ”

Chu Fan hurriedly said: "Master, this guy is cunning, don't let him go easily!" ”

"Hero, please rest assured, no matter how shameless we are, we will not do anything insulting to the teacher."

He Chengyu was afraid that Zhong Lifei would regret it, so he hurriedly swore a poisonous oath.

"I'll believe you!"

Zhong Lifei pushed his hand forward, and He Chengyu was suddenly pushed by a brute force, and involuntarily took seven or eight steps back, almost falling to the ground.

Chu Fan suddenly became nervous, worried that He Chengyu would wait for an opportunity to fight back at this time.

But He Chengyu didn't act rashly, he just glanced at them viciously, and then he and a few junior disciples stepped on the flying sword and rose into the sky.

Seeing the Tianxian Gang slipping away, the whole village was in a stir, and the villagers cheered one after another.

The village chief was full of shame, and even said that he had eyes and did not know Mount Tai.

Xiaohua stood in the crowd, looking at the master and apprentice, her eyes full of reverence.

"Rest assured, folks, before our master and apprentice leave, we must exterminate that gang of robbers." Zhongli Fei promised everyone.

The villagers were so grateful that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them, but the master and apprentice quickly stopped them and refused to give up after several dissuasions.

At this time, the village chief said worriedly: "The two heroes have offended the Tianxian Gang, and I am afraid that they will suffer losses in the future." ”

Zhong Lifei said with a big grin: "Don't worry, their helper and I are old acquaintances, and today I am just teaching him a lesson." ”

The villagers were so shocked that they almost regarded Zhong Lifei as the Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering.

The village chief asked again: "How do heroes solve the bandits in Black Wind Mountain, do you need our help?" ”

Zhong Lifei said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, when they are full of wine and food, my master and apprentice will be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

When the village chief heard this, he understood, and hurriedly beckoned the villagers to kill the thin donkey in the village to cook.

Xiaohua also brought the boiled rabbit meat, and someone brought the pickled fish and marinated meat that they kept for the New Year to the table, and everyone accompanied Zhong Li Fei to eat a beautiful meal.

During the banquet, seeing that everyone regarded themselves as heroes, Zhong Lifei blew the cowhide, almost saying that he could punch the gods in the sky and kick the cow ghosts and snake gods in hell.

Chu Fan looked at it and shook his head, knowing that the master bragged and didn't make a draft.

After eating, he will definitely use the excuse of going to Black Wind Mountain, smear the soles of his shoes with oil and run away.
