Volume 1 Hatred Chapter 73 Sadness in Troubled Times
The next morning, the group of casual cultivators on the mountain entered the village like they were going to the moon to collect the grain. After the people left, the village chief began to panic and fear - he was afraid that Ling Jianguan would really do his own way.
If the food is really not paid, with those people's keen observation, they will definitely think something is wrong. At that time, let alone Ling Jianguan, he will be killed by Ling Jianguan!
Ling Jianguan, you must not do such impulsive things!
After thinking for a long time, the village chief decided to go to Ling Jianguan's house to ask him whether he had paid the food or not, this was a major issue concerning the safety of the village.
When he arrived at Ling Jianguan's door, the village chief was wandering outside and decided whether to go in. Yesterday he said so heavily. If he just went in like this today, would he seem to be a lot of meddling in other people's business?
Just as he was thinking, he saw those people gathered at the entrance of the village, and the person who was leading the person who collected the grain this morning.
The village chief felt something was wrong now. He immediately left Ling Jianguan's doorstep and met the crowd, with a smile on his face.
"Sir, why are you back? Don't say anything to me in advance, I'm going to prepare the meal to entertain you all." The village chief trotted all the way to the leader, trembling, fearing that he would anger these guys.
"No need, I'm here today to check something with you." The leader pointed his eyes at the village chief, his tone was a little slow, but it was very deterrent.
The village chief was staring at this gaze and his heart was thumping. He lowered his eyebrows, did not dare to look directly, and stammered: "Sir, what's the matter?"
"I heard that some people regard my orders as wind in their ears and do not hand over food, right?" His tone was calm, but he revealed a vague accusation.
The village chief shook his head in fear, with a smile on his face: "The safety of our village depends on you, Lord. How can we resist your order?"
The leader saw him say this and shook his head. He walked into the village chief, patted his shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "You don't have to shelter that person at all, because the person who told me about this was your wife. I heard that that person seemed to want to resist me?" Although the leader had a smile on his face, it was already extremely terrible in the eyes of the village chief. After hearing the leader's words, the village chief felt something was wrong. My wife complained about the secret? How could this be possible?
Suddenly, the village chief's back felt cold. How could she tell them about this?
Suddenly the village chief remembered the nagging he had with his wife yesterday, and then realized that it was his angry words that ruined the big deal.
Just as the village chief was thinking about how to continue to evade the leader, the village chief's wife came out. She pointed at the village chief and said in anger: "I told the adults about this, it's all for your own good. Why are you still hesitating here? Isn't it better to tell the adults directly? Do you really have to wait for him to kill the lives of the whole village?"
As soon as she came out, the village chief's already turbid mind became more and more messy. He hurriedly walked towards his wife and whispered, "Oh, wife, why are you going to make trouble?...Sir, we have some things to avoid, and we will come back soon." As he said that, he hurriedly pulled his wife out of the house.
The leader watched the couple go out like this, but not only did not stop him, but instead found it interesting.
Outside the house, the village chief grabbed his wife's clothes, lowered his head and said softly: "Why are you so impatient to tell them about this? Do you know that this will ruin the safety of our village?"
His wife was like a thriller and said, "I have long been disgusted with Ling Jianguan's arrogant look! How could he know about our hardships? Ling Jianguan thought he had been in Xuanzhou for a while and was superior to others when he returned to his hometown. How could we live in this life? How many people have starved to death in our village over the years and how many people have been recruited by corvee labor. In the end, dozens of families are left alone and waiting to die. Do you think we like this?" After speaking, her voice was drowned out by crying.
Seeing this, the village chief immediately covered his wife's mouth and said anxiously: "We can cry in private, but we must not let them see this look!"
The village chief comforted his wife and touched her back and said, "After a while, I will tell the leader that Ling Jianguan did this. Then you go to the village to arrange someone to tell Ling Jianguan to let him pack up and move it away quickly. In this way, when he sees Ling Jianguan, he thinks he is afraid. The culprit has left, and we will hand over the food this last time. When the disaster star leaves, those people will not make any more noises. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
When my wife heard the village chief's words, she became calmer, nodded slightly, and then ran to Ling Jian Guan's family.
Seeing that the Guan family was not far from here, Ling had to move as soon as possible. He watched his wife run far away, and then turned around and walked into the house to meet the leader.
The leader saw the village chief's appearance and didn't speak, his eyes just looked at him.
The village chief pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, we didn't mean to not tell you, but this family didn't listen to me very much, they were troublemakers." For the sake of his current plan, he had no choice but to say this.
"Don't you listen to you very much?" The leader couldn't help laughing when he heard his words, "You village chief have no weight in your words? Do you need me to teach them a lesson?" As he said that, the murderous aura in his eyes appeared again.
"Tell me, what is that family called and where is it?" the leader continued to ask.
Sweat on the village chief's forehead was slowly emerging, and his mouth kept trembling because of tension. He looked at the leader, a little confused.
After a while, he saw that the leader was a little impatient, and panicked and quickly said, "He is Ling Jianguan. Where is he living, I'll lead you in person."
A light appeared in the leader's eyes: "This is how it looks."
The village chief led his group to slow down his pace tremblingly, his heart was already in his throat. When the village chief walked to Ling Jianguan's home, the scene that caught his eyes shocked him.
Ling Jianguan used a rope to tie his waist tightly to the pillars in the courtyard. At this time, his eyes were cold and he smiled at everyone.
"Come?" Ling Jianguan said softly.
"It's you?" The leader raised the corner of his mouth playfully when he saw Ling Jianguan's strange behavior and asked.
Ling Jianguan smiled and said, "I think I am not the opponent of you gangsters. All I can do is to live and die with the entire village. Either kill me or I kill you." After that, he looked at the leader confidently.
The leader was provoked by the hostility in the eyes, but he said slowly: "Oh? Are you so brave? I admire you very much."
"But are you really sure?" The murderous aura burst out around the leader, and the light caused by spiritual energy lingers in his eyes.
"It may be unknown if you let it go." Ling Jianguan's body shook and broke free from the rope, and the pillar behind him was shattered.
Ling saw Guan’s left hand was claw-shaped, and the spiritual energy attached to his hand was formed, rushing towards the leader, with a huge momentum and agile movements.
The leader's figure flew backward and was immediately entangled with Ling Jianguan.
The village chief was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect Ling Jianguan to stay here. When fighting with these casual cultivators, he walked carefully to Ling Jianguan's wife, and said in a little reproachful tone: "Why don't you leave quickly? This will prevent some casualties!"
Ling Jianguan's wife looked at Ling Jianguan's figure and was as worried as she was. She shook her head with tears in her eyes and hugged Ling Feng tightly in her arms.
Ling Feng looked at his father dumbly. He didn't know why his father stayed so persistently. He just hoped that his father would be safe at this moment.
The leader fought with Ling Jianguan for more than fifty rounds, and he was a little troubled. He was surprised to find that there were such masters in this remote small village. He couldn't help but ask with emotion: "Who is your surname and where did you learn this kind of cultivation?"
Ling Jianguan looked upright and said, "My name is Ling Jianguan. Today I will let you know what the price is to occupy other people's homes!"
"Did Ling see the guard? I remember." The leader smiled, "But you have to understand one truth, what kind of society is this? This is a society that can help the poor and help the rich. The survival of the weak is the law of nature given to us by the rulers of this world. Look, for such a long time, the responsible personnel in charge of this state remain silent about our behavior, don't you understand?"
Ling Jianguan smiled: "It's just that there are more and more people like you, and the world will become more and more chaotic. It's hard for me to agree with the ideas of people like you. Let's continue to start the war!"
The leader shook his head and said, "It's a pity that someone like you will lose his life in vain."
So the two entered a fierce battle again. Seeing that the boss was getting more and more helpless, they had bad thoughts.
A strong man in black stuffed his dagger into his sleeves, and when the two of them were in a fight, he inserted the dagger into Ling Jianguan's ribs.
Seeing this, the village chief looked in his eyes, and he seemed to feel an unknown aura.
The leader smiled grimly, kicked Ling Jianguan's stiff body over and stepped on his body with one foot.
"Despicable!" Ling said unwillingly when he saw Guan's eyes wide open.
The leader looked at Ling Jianguan contemptuously and said, "We are robbers. You are stupid when you follow the rules with the robbers." As he said that, he kicked him over the door.
"If anyone has the desire to rebel against me, it will be like this!" The leader shouted sternly, and everyone was silent, enough to shock the hearts of everyone present.
Ling Feng screamed in a collapse, broke free from his mother's arms, and wanted to rush to the leader. The village chief quickly stopped him, blocked his mouth, bent down to block his anger, knelt down in front of the leader, and said begging: "Ling Jian Guan is reckless and ignorant, but his family is innocent, let them go."
The leader threw Ling Jianguan like a dead dog into the room, then pulled his wife into the room, lit a fire, and threw it in. After a while, a raging fire burned the entire house.
When Ling Feng saw this scene, he howled heart-wrenchingly, and finally fainted in pain in the arms of the village chief.
The leader smiled evilly at the village chief and said, "Ling saw the Guan stupidity, of course, but his wife knew that she had made a mistake and was even more guilty. Damn it! If anyone of you dares to save them, this will be the same! As for this child, you can deal with it." After that, the leader and his group walked out of the courtyard with swagger.
At this time... in the room...
Ling saw Guan lying on his wife's knees, and the man didn't cry easily, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help moistening his eyes.
"Do I listen to the village chief? I shouldn't show off my power, I will hurt you and you."
Listening to Ling Jian Guan’s words, his wife hugged him tightly and comforted him: “It’s okay, no matter how judgment you make, I will support you without hesitation. How can I, a real man, understand what a real man does?"
"I just hope Feng'er is fine."
Looking at his wife's still melancholy expression, Ling Jianguan's consciousness was blurred and gradually became quiet as the house collapsed.
