Chapter 228: A Strange Village
Wuyan County is located in the northern part of the Hongling Empire, and it is also located in the east of the Longyan Mountain Range, so Ling Xi needs to go west if he wants to go to the Longyan Mountain Range to find another Seven Star Flame. Because he was not in a hurry to go to the Longyan Mountain Range, Ling Xi spent most of his time walking on the ground and did not choose to fly in the air.
By the third day, Ling Xi didn't know how many miles he had walked, anyway, there were at least hundreds of mountains he had climbed.
"Why did it suddenly become barren?"
Ling Xi walked across a small dilapidated wooden bridge, he looked up, and found that the road ahead had suddenly become barren, and the crops and weeds in the fields by the road were mixed, and it seemed that no one had taken care of them for a long time.
At this time, Ling Xi saw a little boy who was nearly ten years old approaching him, and the little boy was still holding a crab wrapped in a bundle of straw, looking very happy.
"Excuse me······"
When Ling Xi was about to call the little boy over to ask about the situation, the little boy saw Ling Xi. When the little boy saw Ling Xi, it was like seeing a ghost, and a fear immediately appeared on his immature face, and he even threw the crab in his hand on the ground, and turned around and flew away from Ling Xi's sight.
Ling Xi walked over and watched the little boy drop the unwanted crab, and couldn't help but shake his head in confusion. His instincts told him that there was something strange about this place, first of a desolate scene, and then of a boy who behaved very strangely, all of which showed the strangeness of this place.
Ling Xi was afraid of scaring the little boy, so he didn't catch up, but his spiritual power could detect the little boy, and he planned to go down in the direction where the little boy left, maybe he would be able to know what the mystery was here, why this place was so weird, and he was also a little curious in his heart.
Ling Xi walked in the direction the little boy had left, and the scene on the side of the road became more and more desolate, revealing patches of barren land, with the occasional bones of domestic animals on them.
Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!
On a big tree that had long since died, there were at least nearly a hundred crows chirping, and the sound made Ling Xi's heart furious, and many of them were staring at Ling Xi upright.
Ling Xi really couldn't stand it anymore, and raised his hand to let out a strong wind, and the group of crows flew away with a dumb cry.
After driving away the crows, Ling Xi frowned, this desolate scene told him that this place was probably not as simple as he thought.
Ling Xi continued to walk forward, and it didn't take long for him to see a village in the distance, and the little boy was in the village, presumably from the village.
Ling Xi was not in a hurry to go to the village, because this place was too strange, and he had to be cautious.
After thinking about it for a while, Ling Xi planned to use his spiritual power to explore the village first to see if there was anything strange in the village. Unleashing his spiritual power, what Ling Xi saw was a dilapidated village, any house was full of holes, even more dilapidated than his home in Chifeng Town, and the domestic dog lying on the ground also had no spirit at all, and his groggy appearance made people look very depressed. What surprised Ling Xi even more was the composition of the village, most of the people in the village were old people and children, and there were less than a dozen young and middle-aged people, and Ling Xi also found that there was not a single adult girl in the village, Ling Xi saw an older girl, but the girl looked no more than fifteen years old, younger than him.
Retracting his spiritual power, Ling Xi's summary of the village in front of him was only two words, which was strange.
"Oh no! The bandits are here again!"
Just as Ling Xi was looking at the village from afar, the village suddenly became chaotic, and the dozen or so young adults immediately picked up hoes and firewood knives and ran to the entrance of the village, as if they were defending against someone's invasion.
"Bandits?"
Ling Xi frowned, he faintly heard the word bandit just now, which made him a little puzzled for a while. But he soon understood, I am afraid that this place has become so desolate because of the bandits, and it is no wonder that there is not a single adult woman in the village, either they were captured by the bandits, or they fled to other places for refuge, only some old people and children are left in the village, and the dozen or so young adults should not bear to leave to stay in the village, but they are some good men.
After a while, Ling Xi saw a puff of smoke and dust rising from the entrance of the village, and it was estimated that the bandits were coming.
The bandits had come on horseback, probably thirty or forty men, and they must have plundered a few places, and they were carrying a lot of possessions at once. The dozen or so young men who stood at the entrance of the village were no match for the bandits at all, and they were all quickly put to the ground by the bandits, and although there were no deaths, several of them were not lightly injured, and they would not be able to recover without ten days and half a month.
After putting down a dozen young adults, the bandits entered the village and plundered, but there was nothing left in the village, and the bandits searched for a long time and did not find anything valuable, but arrested the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.
The leader of the bandits, seeing that the village was no longer able to loot anything good, gave the order:
"This village is worthless, and it will be burned down later. ”
"Yes. ”
A few bandits next to him answered, and began to prepare torches, only to burn down the village when they left, and such an act can only be described as the extermination of humanity.
After a while, one of the bandits escorted the girl to the bandit leader, and when the bandit leader saw the little girl, his eyes lit up, and he showed a smile that made the girl shudder, and said:
"Lao Tzu likes this kind of little girl, wait to take it away, Lao Tzu wants to enjoy it tonight!"
The girl seemed to know how the bandits would torture her, but she was not afraid at all, and kept glaring at the bandits. It was this group of bandits who caused her family to be ruined, and the good village became what it is now, and she would not let go of this group of bandits even if she was a ghost.
"Yo! I'm quite stubborn, I like it. ”
The leader of the bandits got off his horse and walked slowly towards the girl, he liked this kind of little girl, and only when he was tortured was he had pleasure, thinking that he would have fun again tonight, the leader of the bandits was excited in his heart, and stretched out his hand to touch the girl's face.
Bang!
Just as the bandit leader's hand was about to touch the girl's face, Ling Xi suddenly appeared and stomped the bandit leader on the ground with one kick, and the bandit leader's entire face sank directly into the dirt.
"I want to die!"
The rest of the bandits were stunned for a moment, then came back to their senses and directly took out their weapons to kill Ling Xi.
"Humph!"
Ling Xi snorted coldly, just as soon as he raised his hand, all the bandits floated up, as if they were controlled by something, floating in the air and not going up or down.
"Who are you, how dare you spoil our good deeds!"
The bandit leader said coldly, he could see at a glance that Ling Xi was stronger than all of them, but he was not afraid of Ling Xi, because no one in this realm dared to do anything to them.
"Who you are, and what do you have to do with me, I only know that you are about to become dead. ”
Ling Xi didn't care and said lightly.
"Wait! We're from the Black Knife Village, do you dare to touch us? Don't you want to live?"
Seeing that Ling Xi was a little difficult to speak, the bandit leader directly moved out of the Black Knife Village, in a delusional attempt to deter Ling Xi. But he didn't know that Ling Xi was coming to Wuyan County for the first time, and where would he hear about the Black Knife Village, so the Black Knife Village in his mouth had no deterrent effect on Ling Xi at all.
"Do you think the people in this village will let you go?"
Ling Xi shook his head and said, no matter what the origin of this group of bandits was, he did not intend to let go of this group of bandits who exterminated humanity.
"Don't ······"
"Ahh
Before the bandit leader could say half of his words, Ling Xi shook his hand lightly, and streams of flames burned on all the bandits. In an instant, the sound of the bandits' wails hovered over the village, and all the bandits were eventually burned to ashes.
Ling Xi looked at the girl who was already stunned and said with a smile:
"Girl, are you alright?"
The girl shook her head in a daze, she couldn't believe that the boy in front of her, who was only a little older than her, was so powerful, and he could solve the vicious bandit with three strokes and five divisions.
Could he be the one sent by Heaven to save the village?
The girl thought so, and then knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Ling Xi. Ling Xi was startled when he saw the situation, and he didn't understand why the girl suddenly knelt down, so he hurriedly went over and helped the girl up. However, the girl was reluctant to get up, she looked up at Ling Xi hopefully, and said:
"Childe, the little girl volunteered to be a slave and a maid, and served the son for life, only asking the son to save the little girl's village. ”
"You get up first. ”
Ling Xi smiled dumbly, he understood why the girl had such a reaction. The girl has been in a desperate situation for a long time, and finally sees a glimmer of hope from him, so she naturally wants to hold on to it, just like a person who falls into the sea sees a piece of wood, of course, he will do everything to grab that piece of wood, because that piece of wood is the hope of survival, and he is the hope of the girl's survival.
Ling Xi helped the girl up, and everyone in the village came around, whether it was the old man or the child, they all knelt on the ground, looking at Ling Xi like a savior, at this moment, Ling Xi was their savior.
Ling Xi looked at so many people kneeling on the ground, his heart was sympathetic and a little unwilling, although he had no obligation to eradicate bandits for this village, but Ling Lie's education to him since he was a child made him unable to stand by and be by, he had to take care of this matter.
After Ling Xi called everyone up, he looked at the girl and asked:
"Girl, do you know the black knife village in the mouth of those bandits?"
"Yes. ”
The girl nodded.
"Okay, tell me about it later, and I'll remove this gang for you. ”
As soon as these words came out, it meant that Ling Xi had taken over this troublesome matter, whether it was uneven or nosy, he had to return this place to peace.
