The burly man behind the young man immediately separated into two people and stood in front of the young man.
The remaining people also bent their bows and arrows, aiming at Jin Feng.
The village chief hurriedly ran to the middle and explained anxiously:
"Jin Feng, when little Huzi saw someone riding a horse coming to the village, he called out bandits. Your grandma Zhou thought bandits were really coming, so she beat the gong."
The village chief pointed to the side, where a five or six-year-old child had his pants taken off and his butt spanked by his father.
An old woman with white hair stood awkwardly aside, holding a gong in her hand.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
Jin Feng put away his crossbow and hung it on his waist, and gave a scholarly salute to the young man in green robe: "I've met the young master!"
When he saw the government servant following the young man, Jin Feng immediately guessed his identity.
Still haven't escaped.
But for now, it seems that the Marquis is not a pervert and is quite polite.
The young man waved his hand, and the burly men immediately dispersed.
Pointing to the crossbow in Jin Feng's hand, he said with a smile: "I've always heard people say that when bandits enter the village, the villagers are so frightened that they kneel on the ground. This is the first time I've seen anyone dare to resist."
Jin Feng turned around and took a look, and sure enough, all the villagers were empty-handed at this time, only two of his men were holding crossbows.
However, Jin Feng did not look down on these villagers, because he saw with his own eyes the men running back from the brick kiln with weapons, and they must have been hiding in the grass around them.
This is the tradition of the village, and it is also a survival method summarized by the villagers at the cost of countless blood.
If the bandits just asked for money and food, and it wasn't too much, they would tolerate it.
Because the bandits are numerous and powerful, and many young people in the village join the army, the remaining people cannot really defeat the bandits.
No matter how important money and food are, they are not as important as the lives of the whole family.
But once the bandits kill innocent people indiscriminately, they will definitely fight to the death.
The bandits also knew this, so they came every year to collect the annual grain and did not dare to force them too much.
Both sides maintain a tacit understanding at a wonderful balance point.
It's very rare for someone like Jin Feng to come out with a bow and crossbow in an upright manner.
"Young Master may not know that the bandits come after the autumn harvest to harvest the new year's grain. If they come in late spring, they may have changed the bandits. In order to establish their authority, the new bandits may kill innocent people indiscriminately.
I am a tiger-fighting hero, and the tougher I am, the more fearful the bandits will be, and they may stop trying to establish their power."
Jin Feng's mind was spinning very quickly. After realizing that he had mistakenly identified the person, he immediately found an excuse.
"Aren't you afraid that the bandits will be angered and kill you?"
"If this is the case, I would rather fight and die than surrender and let others slaughter me!"
Jin Feng puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I am a scholar who would rather die standing than live on my knees. Besides, I am not a vegetarian. If I kill one, I will earn enough. If I kill two, I will earn one!"
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
No matter how much struggle Jin Feng had in his heart before he charged over, at least the momentum he displayed so far was truly tragic.
After seeing the reactions of the guards and the slash marks on the armor, Jin Feng confirmed that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary young man, and was probably from the military.
Who do you admire most about such a person? Isn’t it a warrior who is ready to die?
Sure enough, when Jin Feng said this, the young people and the warriors behind him cheered in unison!
"Well said, this is what a healthy warrior should look like!"
The young man immediately turned over and dismounted: "Zhang Captou said that you are both civil and military. Now it turns out that it is true. You are worthy of being a warrior who can kill a tiger alone!"
Just as Jin Feng was about to speak, he saw Guan Xiaorou and Tang Dongdong and the others rushing out of the path.
Each of them also held the same crossbow as Jin Feng.
Even the little Xiao'e is the same.
"Brother-in-law, let's help you fight the bandits!"
Xiao'e shouted as she was far away.
Wow!
The guards in armor suddenly became nervous and surrounded the young man again.
"Xiaorou, I made a mistake. They are not bandits. Put your arrows down quickly."
Jin Feng finally realized what the village chief was feeling just now, and quickly stood in the middle of the road.
He saw that the crossbows in the women's hands were all strung up. If anyone got excited and pulled the trigger, the fun would be huge.
Seeing the women put away their crossbows, Jin Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, sir. My wife is very protective of her husband. I hope you won't blame me."
Feudal society had a strict system, and the most important thing was about superiority and inferiority.
The common people pointed arrows at the nobles, and just one arrow was enough to kill them.
I just came once, and I finally turned the page. Who knew that some girls at home would come again...
If the young man gets angry out of shame, that's the end of it.
This guy is scarier than a bandit.
"Hahaha! It's okay."
Instead of being angry, the young man laughed happily: "People say that people are divided into groups, and it is true. You are a hero in fighting tigers, and the women and children in your family are also extraordinary!"
"Young Master is so complimentary."
Jin Feng asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Young Master, you are here in the mountains and fields. What's the matter?"
"I heard that there was a warrior here who shot a tiger alone, and I longed for it."
The young man said: "Qing Huai came to visit rashly, I hope the warrior will not blame him."
Whether it was a sincere courtesy or a show, Qinghuai's appearance was impeccable.
The dignified Marquis personally came to the door. Jin Feng knew that he could not escape today no matter what, so he made a generous gesture of invitation:
"I wonder if it would be an honor for me to invite you to sit in my humble abode?"
"Sorry for disturbing you."
Qinghuai nodded and followed Jin Feng into the village without riding a horse.
The villagers wanted to follow him and watch the fun, but they were chased away by the village chief.
On the way, Qinghuai saw Xiao'e still holding a crossbow in her hand, and couldn't help but feel funny:
"Little girl, can you also use a bow and arrow?"
"certainly!"
Guan Xiao'e raised her head proudly.
"See that bird's nest in the tree? If you can shoot it, it will be yours."
Qinghuai smiled and took out a jade pendant from his waist.
The jade pendant is pure white and moist, and it is extraordinary at first glance.
"I don't want rocks, I want delicious food."
Xiao'e glanced at the jade pendant and shook her head.
She was naive and had never seen jade before, so she didn't know that this small jade pendant would be enough for her to eat delicious food for half her life.
"no problem."
Qinghuai waved, and the guard behind him immediately took out a leg of lamb from the horse's trousers.
The leg of lamb is smoked, shiny and looks very delicious.
"No cheating."
Xiao'e swallowed and raised the crossbow in her hand.
The bird's nest is on a treetop more than ten meters away. With Xiao'e's archery skills, the probability of hitting it is only about 50%.
But maybe now I was stimulated by the leg of lamb, and it suddenly succeeded.
The arrow passed through the bird's nest and flew up nearly a hundred meters before starting to fall.
A flash of light flashed in Qinghuai's eyes, and he picked up the leg of lamb and handed it to Xiao'e: "Little girl, can you show me the crossbow in your hand?"
