Volume 2: Red Dust Makes a Mess Chapter 111: Poor Man

The crows fell with their wings, and the field was miserable.

The city is depressed, and the door is closed.

After walking more than 30 miles to the south, although it was still a desolate scene along the way, it gradually became crowded. Or the confessor wears it on the road, or there is a peasant woman carrying a basket to collect firewood, but all the people they meet have vegetables on their faces.

Zhao Cheng was wearing a silver robe, although he was dirty after not washing it for a few days, he was a "nobleman" compared to the ragged peasant poor.

Everywhere Zhao Zhi went, there were pedestrians looking sideways, or greed appeared in their eyes, but most of the poor peasants were cowering when they saw Zhao Yuan, and just now a peasant woman held a naked child and avoided from afar.

There are also encounters who are bold enough to follow, Zhao Zhi pulled out his bright saber and waved it twice, and they scattered one after another.

Zhao Cheng knows that every village has some "blind streams" that do not produce well, and they specialize in harming passing people. Zhao Cheng doesn't look very old, if it weren't for this saber, if he was just an ordinary passerby, maybe those blind streams would have embraced him and stripped him of his "fat sheep".

The shape of Nanxiang Road is more miserable than Zhao Qian thought, with many pedestrians and relatives, starvation on the way, and even passers-by who died violently.

————

Liu Xi, who dragged his family with his family, limped on the road of Siwangting, unclothed, hungry, and the family had been hungry for a day. There is not much food in the bag, and it is only possible to eat one meal in two days, and such days have lasted for more than ten days.

Liu Xi's wife ran away with someone on the road because of two pieces of broken silver, leaving only two old people and a half-year-old baby to survive in the vast wilderness.

"Xizi, how many days are there before we can go out, your mother and I can't walk anymore......"

The old man staggered and spoke weakly.

"It's coming, it's coming......"

Liu Xi squeezed out a smiling face that was more ugly than crying, his face was full of sadness, there was a vast wilderness in front of him, whether he could get out of the sentence or not, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

A family of five while hurrying, while picking up some wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, the noon sun is scorching, several people rest under the tree, they will start to pick down several layers of bark to satisfy hunger.

Qizhou has a lot of water, and millions of civilians are fed near Jishui, if it weren't for all the way upstream, Liu Xi's family would have been dying of thirst before they starved to death.

The baby has not yet been weaned, the mother ran away with others, at this time lying on Liu Xi's back and crying, the grandmother behind was distressed, chewed a mouthful of rice and wiped it in the baby's mouth with her little finger, only to stop the baby's cry slightly.

Suddenly, two yellow-skinned, ragged men jumped out in front of him, one holding a bamboo pole, looking at the bags in Liu Xi's arms, his eyes showing greed.

"Take everything out, everything, everything!"

"Yes!"

The hands of the two holding the bamboo pole trembled slightly, and they turned around from time to time, and their vicious voices trembled a little, obviously it was the first time they had done this kind of business of robbing houses and houses.

Maybe it was the bad harvest, maybe it was the oppression of the government, in short, these two good-natured farmers became blind streams wandering around.

Liu Xi hurriedly protected the old father behind him, and said with a crying voice: "The two eldest brothers let us go, you see we don't have anything on us, the old parents in the family are over sixty years old, and they can't stand the fright!"

Saying that, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing incessantly, Liu's father and Liu's mother also cried, and the baby who had just slept also cried.

"Less, less nonsense!

The short-stated bandit at the head of the threat was fierce, and he stabbed Liu Xi to the ground with a bamboo pole.

Seeing this, Liu's father and Liu's mother cried loudly, and the baby's cry became louder.

The bandit was annoyed, stretched out his leg and kicked Liu Yi a few times, shouting: "Cry again, cry again Lao Tzu kicked you to death!"

Stepping on Liu Xi's head, the bandit grabbed the burden in Liu Xi's arms with both hands, and dragged it out lifelessly, Liu Xi hugged the burden desperately, the bandit dragged it a few times without moving, scolding in his mouth, and kicking it even more fiercely.

"Alas, pitiful!

More than ten zhang away, there was a young man standing on the path, wearing a white robe, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Fuck off!"

When the bandit saw that there was someone next to him, his kicking action suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he saw that the person in front of him was dressed extraordinarily, and his eyes were tight, and he didn't know where he came from.

"I'll count to five, and you two won't get out yet, so leave your life behind. ”

The young man's face was relaxed, and he could see that the two bandits were hairy all over.

"Where did you come from, stinky baby who has not dried up, get out of here!"

The bandit had also been hungry for a day, and just now his stomach was gurgling, and seeing that this young man was not very old, and he was still alone, he suddenly became murderous.

"Five, four......"

Zhao Jiao stretched out his five fingers, so he counted them neatly.

"Big brother, him!"

The two bandits combined and rushed towards Zhao Ji with a bamboo pole.

"Little brother, run!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Xi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly got up and hugged the bandit's calf.

"Damn, let it go!"

The bandit was furious and struck Liu Xi's head one by one, causing him to bleed.

“...... Two, one!"

With a bang, he pulled out the Xuanshi knife, and Zhao Cheng walked towards the two bandits step by step.

Zhao Qian's eyes were cold, and he didn't even have a trace of killing intent.

"Fuck you!"

The bandit who rushed up was a shot according to Zhao Yuan's head, and if a mortal was hit by this, his head would inevitably break and bleed.

Zhao Zhi did not dodge or dodge, and with a knife in his hand, the bamboo pole was broken in response.

The bandit only felt a cold arm, and when he looked down, he saw that his two arms had been silently unloaded.

"Ahh

The shouts were terrible, and the bandits fell to the ground and twisted themselves and screamed uncontrollably.

"My hand!

Blood gushed out of the wound, and it couldn't be stopped, but after a few breaths, the voice of the fallen bandit stopped abruptly, and he couldn't see it alive.

The bandit who was hugged by Liu Xi's thigh in the back was also frightened, and Liu Xi's action of opening his mouth and biting also stopped.

"You, you ......"

The bandit was so frightened that he lost his bamboo pole and turned around and ran, ignoring his companions who were lying on the ground screaming.

"Still want to go?"

Zhao Zhi sneered, and with a flick of the Xuanshi knife in his hand, a dozen catties of big knives shot out like darts, hitting the back and coming out of his chest.

Liu Xi's family saw that Zhao Qian killed the two of them in an instant, it was as simple as killing a chicken and slaughtering a pig, how could they dare to speak, lying on the ground trembling and not daring to speak.

"Thank you to the strong man for coming to the rescue, this is really ...... It's ......."

Zhao Qian hurriedly helped Liu Xi up, and said with a smile: "When the road is uneven, pull out a knife to help you, don't thank you, please get up quickly!"

Liu Xi stood up tremblingly, Liu's father and mother were so frightened by the bloody scene just now that they were paralyzed to the ground, and they couldn't stand up.

Zhao Xuan said: "Haven't asked the name of this big brother yet, where is he from?"

Liu Xi didn't dare to say again: "Strong man, the villain is called Liu Xi, and the people from Siwangting on Nanxiang Road ......"

"Are you really from Siwang Pavilion?"

Zhao Xi was overjoyed, but Liu Xi was confused: "The little ancestors have been farmers in Siwangting Xiaoluozhuang for generations......"

Zhao Yuan's heart moved, and asked: "Brother Liu, your family lives well in Nanxiang Road, why do you want to come to this barren mountain and wild mountain in Wudao?"

Liu Xi smiled bitterly: "This strong man doesn't know, we have had a lot of strange things in Siwangting in the past few months, and the villain is really afraid, so he dragged his old parents to his relatives in the north......"

Zhao said slightly: "That's a strange thing, but the people in the village are missing?"

Liu Xi was shocked: "How do you know?"

Zhao Qian said with a worried face: "This is the ......"

Liu Xi choked up and said: "Please save our family, we haven't eaten for two days, and there are only two rations left in our bags, so we really can't get out......"

said "bang bang bang" and kowtowed to Zhao Ji a few times.

Zhao Cheng hurriedly helped Liu Xi up, and said, "Brother Liu, what is this doing? I won't hide it from you, my name is Zhao Qian, I am a disciple of the Lingxi Sect, and this trip is for the disappearance of the people in Nanxiang Dao." ”

"You, are you a disciple of the Lingxi Sect? is that Lingxi Immortal Mountain high above!?"

Liu Xi was shocked, he didn't expect that he could see the legendary immortal master flying in such a poor and remote place.

"Ask the immortal master to save our Xiao Luozhuang!"

Liu's father and Liu's mother also kowtowed to Zhao and kept begging, and after a while, they cried and wailed.

Zhao said with a worried face: "Don't cry! What is going on in Nanxiang Road, tell me in detail." ”

"The strong man doesn't know, our Xiaoluozhuang is almost gone......"

Liu Xi cried and stumbled to tell the tragic situation of Xiao Luozhuang in the past few months.

Xiaoluozhuang is an ordinary small village in Siwangting, Nanxiang Road, there are about seven or eight hundred people in the village, the ancestors of the Luo family migrated here hundreds of years ago to multiply, so most of the villagers are surnamed Luo, and Liu Xi's ancestors moved from Laiyang Road more than a hundred years ago.

Daluozhuang in the neighboring village is the source of the disappearance of Siwangting.

Since the first disappearance case in Nanxiang Road, the people of Xiaoluozhuang have suffered.

At first, all the villagers in Daluozhuang thought that the missing family had secretly moved elsewhere and didn't care, but within a few days, several more families disappeared inexplicably.

The belongings and assets of those missing people have not been touched, but they have disappeared. If it is said that the horse bandits in the mountains have been taken captive, there will always be some movement, but there is not even a trace of struggle in the house.

This incident made the villagers of Daluozhuang feel furious, thinking that it was a ghost and a god, and it was to pray to God and exorcise ghosts, and invited a few goddesses to do it, but not only did it not work, but after a few days, even the three old goddesses in the village were taken away.

At first, it was Da Luozhuang, and then Xiao Luozhuang, Xiao Rake Village, and Shihezi Township also lost many people inexplicably, and finally there were disappearances in the entire Siwangting.

The villagers of Siwangting were panicked all day long, there were originally few people in Xiaoluozhuang, and this incident made the villagers of Xiaoluozhuang scared to death, and the villagers like Liu Xi who dragged their families out gradually increased......
