After coming to the first town shop, the first thing Sun Yixi did was to send a letter.
Who should I send this letter to? It is sent to the family of the merchant Yuqing.
Due to some reasons that everyone understands, the letter was written by Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai. The general content is: I regret to tell you that the family members in Qing, Yu Qing fell into the water and drowned because they encountered wind and rain on the Xihe River. And "I", that is, the "Anonymous" who wrote to you, found this road sign in Yu Qing's luggage. After learning about his name and household registration, all I can do is to exchange the goods he left for money and send it to you with this road sign and letter of death. Please respect the changes.
Of course, Sun Yixie did not take Yu Qing's goods in fact, and Yu Qing's goods were not worth much money, at least it was far worth less than the amount of silver notes that Sun Yixiu stuffed into the envelope.
Furthermore, Yu Qing did not drown after falling into trouble...
But Sun Yixiu did the so-called "doing his work" and "reasonable lies" like Sun Yixiu did.
His understanding is: It is better to have short pain than long pain. It is better to tell Yu Qing’s death directly and give them some money to live a good life in the future than to let them wait at home without knowing anything.
However, Sun Yixie could only care about this point. As for what would happen to the family in the future, he would not take it seriously.
This...even if it's good.
Some people may think that Sun Yixie is so rich, so it is natural to do such good deeds and is not worthy of praise.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not like this...
There is a saying that "good fortune is hard to give up". No matter how rich you have, it is difficult to make you use money to do a good deed without asking for anything in return.
Many people in this world donate money and do charity for wealthy and unkind people. Some of them do too much because of their worries and want to buy themselves peace of mind in this way, while others buy reputation and attitude.
I really want to help others without asking for any reward, neither leaving a name nor talking about things everywhere, and I don’t care about it after I finish it, and I don’t feel any superiority... That is purely “good deeds”.
And such people and such things are always a very small number.
Because the nature of this kind of thing itself also limits its widespread circulation.
Of course, Sun Yixie has not reached this level, but he did a good job in this matter. After all, what if he didn't pick up that Lu Ling?
Therefore, even Huang Donglai couldn't help but exclaim: "Okay, Brother Sun, he is so kind and righteous, and has a bodhisattva's heart. He is so righteous. He saves the suffering and the suffering..."
Anyway, for such descriptions, Lei Buji will believe it after listening.
Sun Yixie's reaction was the same as usual. He always praised him as a sarcastic saying: "Shut up to me! This is called human nature."
The three of them didn't say much about this. After resting in the town for a day, buying three horses and a few sets of clothes, they continued to rush.
…………
As mentioned earlier, after crossing the Huai River and until Wuchang, there were not too many towns on this section of the road.
This place has high mountains and dangerous roads. There are bandits who meet mountains and thieves who encounter ridges.
Shuangxie is not stupid either. He knows that this road is difficult to walk on, so the horses they bought are relatively inferior, and the clothes they wear are also replaced by coarse cloth, which is very cheap.
In this way, the group of three of them looked less eye-catching, at least they didn't look like that kind of "fat sheep".
In this way, at the beginning of this journey, everything went smoothly, and the three of them walked for more than ten miles in a blink of an eye.
After staying past Longpo Mountain and walking to the foot of Jigong Mountain, the sky became darker. They went to a village at the foot of the mountain and stayed there.
This village is very small, so small that there is not even a name. The government may not know the existence of it. There are only a dozen families in the village, most of which are woodcutters and hunters.
There is only one family that can let three people stay at the same time...the village chief's family.
The village chief was named Wu, and he didn't have any serious name, so he was called Boss Wu. Because he was the strongest and most capable in the village when he was young, he was elected to be the village chief. Now that he is old, he can't beat him, but he still has two sons, and his combat effectiveness is not inferior to their father back then.
On the surface, this village is nothing special, but in fact, it is a bandit's nest.
All the villagers here are half-people and half-bandits. When there are no pedestrians who beat this place, they are people and have normal means of making a living. But when there are passers-by, it depends on the situation... If it is appropriate, they will do some bandits.
Village Chief Wu is both the village chief and the boss of this group of village bandits. His two sons are his right-hand man.
Generally speaking, they do not kill people, but only rob money; they do not do sexual acts, because the villagers basically have wives and children at home, and many of the girls in their families are even more arrogant than their men, and they dare not do anything randomly.
As for the robbery, it is not just to draw your sword and rob it, but there are other methods...
Now, after a night of rest, Sun Huanglei and the other two were about to set off when they encountered the tricks in the village.
The three of them rode on their horses and reached the entrance of the village. A child suddenly ran out of the roadside. Looking at the age of eleven or twelve, they ran so fast. In a blink of an eye, they beat the horse and came to their senses. He was already lying down on the ground.
Then, when he heard a "bang" sound, a middle-aged shrew suddenly came out, blocked the road, picked up the child and started shouting.
The child cooperated very well and started crying loudly in a state of not having a single tear. His hands also followed his feelings, and he casually found a place to cover his abdomen, and said from time to time: "Mom! It hurts so much!"
As soon as the two of them started to scream, before the three of them could dismount and check, dozens of people suddenly rushed out from all directions...
Needless to say, the men, women, young and old in the village have been lying there for a long time.
Under the leadership of the village chief, they surrounded the three young heroes in the open space at the entrance of the village, and began to curse.
There are all kinds of things to say. Anyway, the general meaning is that you are hitting and hurting people now and cannot leave. You must pay for it. Otherwise, we will never end up with you, and the people in our village are not easy to bully.
Everyone should understand when they see this. To put it bluntly, this is just a mess.
However, these village bandits are a bit different from the ones we are familiar with today. If they can't extort money, they won't go to the yamen to argue with you, but will really do something to you.
Of course, they are not stupid either. If they think you are a master in the world or the Green Forest Road, they will not attack easily, because they have martial arts and are used to killing people, they cannot afford to offend...
But if ordinary people have beaten here, they will definitely lose their skin.
It was a coincidence today, because Sun Yixi and the others pretended very well (Huang Donglai's sword was wrapped in cloth and hidden in his luggage, while Sun Yixi's trident was reduced), which led to the villagers not treating them as figures in the martial arts world, so they took action.
"Ha... Isn't it?" Huang Donglai smiled at the time when he saw this, "Okay, I think who dares to come up, just let me try my current skills..."
Just as he was about to say the word "force", Sun Yixie slapped his hand on his shoulder and stopped him: "Hey, Brother Huang, don't be busy, let me do it, let's be polite first and then soldiers."
"Oh?" Huang Donglai read something from Sun Yixie's eyes and words, and soon smiled, "Ha... well, Brother Sun, please."
Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two guys, Lei Buji rolled his eyes and thought to himself that these villagers were going to be unlucky again.
A few seconds later, Sun Yixie turned over and dismounted, walked to the village chief with his head held high and his chest raised: "Village Chief, what do you mean? Do you think we are young men? Or are you stupid? Are you trying to extort money?"
"Huh?" Wu Village Chief glared at him and replied fiercely, "I don't understand what you are saying. Do you want to deny it if you hit someone?"
"Yes! You can't deny it!" The next second, the village chief's eldest son almost habitually responded to this sentence to strengthen his momentum.
When he shouted, the other villagers around him also started to cheer.
For a moment, there were chaotic cars and rustling again, and it was the village chief Wu who waved his hand to let them stop.
"I said to the village chief, you really want to play this game, it's not bad. You just make a living, but you are a little shameless to use all the children, right?" Sun Yixie was not afraid of them at all, so he was not polite in his words. "This child has been taken by you since he was a child. Will he behave like a person in the future? You won't regret your two sons being brought like this by you? You just hope that your village has been doing these things in the mountains for generations?"
His words are quite heartbreaking from the perspective of modern people, but in this current situation... they don't work.
What is the poor mountain and bad water coming out of troubled people? The people in this village are typical. They go from top to bottom from old to young, but after hearing this, they don’t feel anything at all.
Because they really don't regret it...
They did not think that there was anything wrong with their children being taught like this. Their own life pursuit is to be able to "a warm-hearted wife and children" in this village for a lifetime, and never thought about giving their children the opportunity to receive education or leave this environment.
These people always have an extremely pathological selfishness and a distorted collective consciousness; they are full of contradictions, sad, but not pitiful.
"What the hell are you fart? You little bastard, you don't have a single hair on your mouth, so I'm here to teach you grandpa a lesson?" Wu Village Chief felt that Sun Yixie's words sounded like "a chicken and a duck talk", and he was not afraid of himself at all, so he became popular and said bluntly, "We're going to cheat you today, so what if!"
"That's it." Sun Yixie still looked fearless, "Okay, I'll give you money." As he said that, he stretched his hand into his arms.
"Eh?" Now, Village Chief Wu was stunned.
Why did a person who was so arrogant just now suddenly pay money again?
But he thought about it and then felt: Oh~ I understand. It turns out that this kid is bluffing and scared by me, he becomes timid.
Thinking of this, Village Chief Wu spoke again and added: "Boy, don't think you can get rid of this matter by just taking a few melons out. Today you have to at least leave this number."
Speaking of the last three words, Cun-Cun Wu raised his hand and gestured a "ten" gesture.
According to his meaning, he wanted to extort ten taels of silver.
When the villagers around saw this, they all changed their faces. They thought to themselves: The village chief is really angry today. In the past, he had already claimed to be a big deal, but now he has knocked ten taels.
Nowadays, who is going out to pay for ten taels of silver? Look at the torn clothes on these three kids and the three old horses, all of which may not be worth ten taels.
Of course, they also knew that the price was too much more... it was just that.
There are rules for robbery in this village. They will not rob people without leaving any left. At least they have to leave something so that they can continue on the road. If you really rob others and have nothing, the other party might just stay here or fight with you.
"Village Chief, please take this silver note." After taking a few strokes, Sun Yixie took out a silver note.
The village chief took it and saw that the bills from Baichuan Money House were worth one thousand taels.
He was shocked at that time.
For a moment, he suspected that it was fake, but he looked carefully and then, and could not find any flaws.
"You..." Village Chief Wu's eyes changed when he saw Sun Yixi's eyes, and he couldn't even say a word in his mouth, "This..."
"What? I think it's too little?" Sun Yixie smiled and took out another thousand taels of silver notes that were exactly the same, "Then I will add another one, two thousand taels, is it enough?"
When he took out the first silver note just now, the villagers around him were either far away from him and didn't see the denomination clearly, or they didn't recognize him even if they couldn't read it clearly, so they didn't react much, just thought the village chief's reaction was a bit strange.
But at this moment, the son and grandson Yixiu said "two thousand taels" himself, which sounded as an astronomical amount to the villagers, and everyone was in chaos.
This feeling is like a thief burglary. He originally thought that it would be good to steal thousands or even tens of thousands, but when he opened the door and found billions of cash piled up in the house. Then do you think he was so scared that he called the police on the spot?
"It's not enough?" Seeing that the village chief did not respond, Sun Yixie said again, "Then it's three thousand?" As he said that, he wanted to pay again.
"No! Don't... don't take it out." Village Chief Wu came to his senses at this time and quickly stopped Sun Yixi's behavior of taking out the money further.
"Oh, that's enough." Sun Yixie said in a very calm tone, "Okay, you guys keep the money, we're leaving."
"Let's wait!" Village Chief Wu saw that the other party was about to leave, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Young master, we don't want this money anymore." Not only did he dare not take Sun Yixie's money, he also handed back the two thousand taels of silver notes in his hand.
"Young Master?" Sun Yixi glanced at him and sneered, "Isn't it a 'little bastard'?" He didn't accept the silver bill, and even shook his hand and broke away from the other party, "I think you'd better take it."
"Ouch!" Village Chief Wu was so anxious. He hurriedly ran forward and knelt in front of Sun Yixie, "I don't know Mount Tai, young master, don't blame me!" He started kowtowing and shouted while kowtowing, "Young master, you don't care about villains, just spare us!"
The two sons were also stupid and couldn't think of it for a moment. They rushed forward and supported their father.
The second son also said, "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you doing so polite to him..."
Bang-
He didn't finish speaking, and Village Chief Wu slapped over with a big mouth: "You are so stupid! You still said! Why don't you kneel down for me!"
The second son was stunned by him and stood there at a loss.
Dozens of villagers were almost the same as those two brothers, but they still didn't understand what was going on.
"Ha... OK." Seeing that this was almost done, Sun Yixie stopped making things difficult for them. He took back the money and put it in his arms again, "Second, please explain to them slowly, we'll leave first."
In this way, the three of them got back on their horses and left the village with a swagger. No one dared to stop them again.
After they walked away, the village chief stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, his eldest son asked again, "Dad, what's going on?"
Several villagers who stood close to each other were also puzzled: "Yes, village chief, why did you give it to others with so much money? Even if you leave 20% of it, it would be enough for our village to be free for several years."
"Hey!" Village Chief Wu was so angry, "You are all stupid? You can take out thousands of taels at will. Can you be ordinary people? That's the money you can't make in ten lives!" He smashed his mouth and spat, "I'm also confused. Yesterday, I saw that these boys didn't look like they were poor, and they were dressed so badly. In my opinion... these people must be of great origin, and royal relatives may... If we take their money today and offend them, can they let us go in the future? Don't you think about it... How much money can someone hire a killer to slaughter our village? Is it okay to use three thousand taels?"
Otherwise, this person is crazy, the horse is slippery, and the rabbit is old and the eagle is hard to get. The village chief is old and he can't fight when he gets old and his mind is pretty good.
After he broke it a little bit, the villagers were all afraid and were glad that they had just cursed a few words and had not taken action. If they had done so, it would be another matter. If they were retaliated afterwards, all the villagers would die. Even if they were killed here today, it would be useless, because the big man disappeared, so someone would come to investigate, and if the villagers were gone, no one would care.
This is the world. Without strength, you can only attack someone like you even if you do evil.
…………
After leaving the village, Huang Donglai spoke and said to Sun Yixi: "Brother Sun, what if they really collect your money, what will you do?"
"Impossible." Sun Yixie replied leisurely, "They don't have the courage."
"What if?" Huang Donglai raised his mind.
Sun Yixie smiled: "Then you will beat them down and take the money back... it's not too late." He shrugged, "Of course, judging from the result, isn't this going to solve the problem without a fight?"
"Brother Sun." Lei Buji seemed to have learned another skill, and immediately smiled, "Gao, I've learned it."
"What have you learned?" Sun Yixie asked.
"When you have an absolute advantage, you can be polite first and then soldiers." Lei Buji said.
"Wow, I have a high understanding." Sun Yixie said, "Then I ask you, when you have a balance of power or a disadvantage?"
