Chapter 102: Cruelty
After knocking on the grace, the old man's body trembled, and with Jiang Fan's careful support, he could afford it. Looking at him again at this time, his expression was much more relaxed.
At this moment, the door opened again, and Sister Zhang Xinyue stepped out, seeing Jiang Fan and his grandfather's expressions, she was also very puzzled for a while, and approached and said, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
The old man quietly touched away the tears, and there was no sorrow in his heart, so he smiled slowly and said, "It's okay, by the way, Xinyue, can you successfully enter the immortal path cultivation now?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xinyue knew that Jiang Fan had told the old man everything, so she smiled happily: "Grandpa, rest assured, Xinyue has lived up to expectations, and now she has successfully condensed the inner heaven, and she can practice independently!"
Hearing this, Jiang Fan was relieved, and the old man was also very happy, only Zhang Zhiyuan's little black face was a little confused, but now that his sister came back safely, he was not worried.
Jiang Fan saw that he was so young and affectionate to Zhang Xinyue, and he wanted to take this opportunity to explore his bottom line, but before he could act, the sound of horses' hooves came suddenly, and it came out quickly from the northeast.
Hearing these sounds, the old man's face changed dramatically in an instant, and he hurriedly responded to Sister Zhang Xinyue and said, "It's not good, those robbers are here again, Xinyue, you quickly take Zhiyuan into the house to hide, don't come out!"
Seeing him so nervous and flustered, Jiang Fan was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, what's going on?"
The old man then remembered that there was one more person in his yard, and this person was still the rumored Taoist immortal who was omnipotent in heaven and earth, and he was immediately overjoyed, not as frightened as that, so he breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Gongzi doesn't know, this horse's hoofs came from the northeast, and there is no doubt that it is the gang of robbers who occupy the mountain, those people are vicious and vicious, and the means are extremely cruel, and this time they are here, presumably for the food in the town!"
Speaking of this, the old man's eyes flashed, remembering what Jiang Fan said last night to eliminate the evil for them, at that time he didn't know Jiang Fan's identity, so he naturally didn't want Jiang Fan to risk going to die, but now that he really knew it, he had such a mind.
It's not that he's full of thoughts and scheming. In the past, whenever the grain harvest day, those evil ghosts and thieves would come on horseback to rob the grain in the town, according to what they said, the beautiful name is the protection tax, every time the people in the town have resistance, they will be beheaded and widowed, hanging on the northeast tree, in order to warn the world not to resist, otherwise the end will be so miserable!
Once, a pair of young men in Forget Chang Town, on the day of tying the knot, they were taken by the bandits on horseback, among which the groom was killed on the spot, and the corpse was divided by five horses, and the young bride was robbed by the bandits to the mountain for humiliation, only sighing that the woman is also strong-tempered, and she witnessed the robbery of the new monarch at a young age, so she had already had the will to die. When he was imprisoned halfway up the mountain, he took advantage of the distraction of those bandits and jumped into the abyss!
From this, it can be seen how many things those robbers have done to exterminate humanity, and with Jiang Fan's action this time, maybe they can really break the scourge and benefit one party!
When he heard about these things, Jiang Fan's eyes were cold, although he is not a person who claims to be righteous, but he will also do what he can to eliminate harm for the people!
Well, let me meet them!
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan asked Uncle Zhang to lead him there, seeing that he was determined to eliminate the harm, Uncle Zhang was very surprised, and hurriedly beckoned Zhang Xinyue's sister and brother to hide, and immediately went with Jiang Fan.
It's just that as soon as the two of them left, Zhang Xinyue thought for a moment, and then decided to follow it, she wanted to witness with her own eyes that Jiang Fan got rid of those mountain bandits and robbers who were the one side of the disaster.
To the northeast of the town, there is a huge stone gate on the outer boundary of the village and town, which is the entrance and exit of the north of the town.
These men were burly and muscular, and their bodies were very tall compared to ordinary people, and they all looked fierce and vicious when they came on horseback, and they were horrified and uneasy to the faces of many people in the town.
"I don't know the big ...... What are the arrangements for your lordship?"
In the town of forgetting, there is an old man with a white beard, the most respected, this person is the patriarch surnamed Zhang in the town, every time the mountain bandits come, he comes to receive the words.
This time as always, but the leading mountain bandit laughed a few times, obviously ignoring him, and said coldly: "What do you say more about the old guy?
Such foul language fell on everyone's ears, but it made people afraid from the bottom of their hearts and did not dare to resist, but according to the agreement, they only paid the tax in full last month, and the crops in the field were only beginning to grow, so how could there be any surplus grain for them?
"My lord, didn't I wait for the share to be paid last month? Are you mistaken? It's only May, when the crops in the field are beginning to grow, how can I wait for any surplus grain to be available!"
The old man looked terrified, but he also said stubbornly. Some young men at the scene were also angry, but because they were afraid of the enemy's soldiers, they could only endure themselves.
Originally, the harvest of each season has been gone, but now these people are coming to grab grain again, and this is still giving them a way to live? Without food, where will all of them live, I am afraid that they will all starve to death in this barren mountain!
It's just these difficulties, how can those mountain bandits care, now that the leader urgently needs the last batch of spiritual power supply, he will find it anyway.
Seeing that these untouchables did not give, the leading bandits were suddenly furious, and immediately drove their horses forward with a big knife in their hands, and a pair of fishy thieves instantly revealed a touch of cruelty in their eyes, only to see that his eyes looked straight at the trembling old man, and his voice sneered: "The old immortal still dares to resist? Tell you to bring food, if you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu gave an order and slaughtered your untouchable village?"
As soon as these words came out, all the people were terrified, and the people who suffered from them naturally believed that these mountain bandits really did what they said, but they didn't have much surplus food at all, so where could they get enough of the agreed share?
"Your Excellency, you should know that it's not that we don't give it, but that the food is simply not enough to make up the agreed amount, and you can't blame us!"
A much younger man couldn't help but say this when he saw that the bandit was about to embarrass the patriarch, but before he could say this, a broadsword had already cut him in the air, and it actually directly split him into two from head to toe, and for a while the flesh and blood were separated, and the smell was full of fish.
Such a scene immediately frightened the rest of the people and others screamed in horror, and in a panic, Gu wanted to turn around and run away, but the remaining many mountain bandits immediately drove their horses up, ruthlessly slashed with a knife, and after many lives were killed, the situation gradually stabilized, making the rest of everyone shut up in horror, their legs trembled, and they no longer dared to escape.
Seeing this scene, the mountain bandit leader smiled coldly, his eyes were condensed, and he said slowly: "If the food is not enough, then human flesh will make up, and this time it must be a whole number!"
