Seeing that the big man was about to attack the village, the elder quickly stood up and said in a good voice: "Justice, calm down, let's go together now, let's go together now."
After saying that, the elder returned to the villagers and began to persuade the young villagers in a good voice, for fear that they would fight with the horse thieves again.
In the end, the villagers all nodded in agreement. After all, if they really fight against the horse thieves who kill without batting an eyelid, I'm afraid they really won't get any benefit, so it's better to spend their money to avoid disaster.
I watched the villagers go back to get money, and those who had no money mortgaged their grain. If I had known better, it would be better to sell it to businessmen in the city, which would save a lot of money.
Now directly giving it to these horse thieves and directly lowering the price of food by twice, isn’t this trying to force the villagers to die?
Gradually, the elder had a lot of money in his hands and a lot of food piled in front of him. After a little calculation, it was still not enough.
I saw the elder tremblingly coming to the big man, and said very sadly: "Righteous soldier, you see we only have so many, look at..."
The big man on the horse waved his hand and opened his pocket: "Okay, remember, forget it this month. If you miss a cent next month, I will slaughter your village." After saying that, he took the money.
"You guys, hurry up and load up the food."
After hearing this, the horse thieves behind them loaded the grain onto their horses in a arrogant manner, then got on their horses and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Liu Xiner ran out with a gold leaf in her hand and a bad look on her face.
At this time, Pan Bao saw her and quickly grabbed her: "Xian'er, what are you doing out here?"
"Brother Muzi, brother Muzi is gone."
Seeing that Liu Xiner was so anxious, she was not happy to hear that Zhang Mu had left, so she immediately became distraught.
"You're already gone, hurry back."
But before he could speak, he saw the big man looking straight at Liu Xian'er when he was about to turn around. His eyes almost glowed green.
When Pan Bao saw this, he knew something was wrong and quickly pulled Liu Xiner behind him. He raised the iron sword in his hand and held it tightly.
Only then did Liu Xian'er see the situation in front of her clearly. She was nervous about Zhang Mu leaving just now, so she didn't pay attention to the arrival of the horse thief. Now she was really scared when she saw it.
You must know that this horse thief has no reason to explain. He has harmed many girls in the past. How can Liu Xiner not be afraid of this? What will happen if he is captured.
Pan Bao also saw what the big man meant, and he couldn't help but sweat dripping from his head, obviously aware of a slight crisis.
As expected, the big man just laughed and said: "Whose girl is this? She's so damn cool, I feel very excited just looking at her."
When I saw the horse thieves behind me, they looked like hungry wolves that were hungry and thirsty.
"Brother, if you capture this little girl, it will make us brothers happy."
"Yes, brother, I haven't seen a girl with such a trademark for a long time."
...
After hearing this, the big man pointed his knife at the elder and said, "Old fellow, send the girl over quickly."
"Ah, righteous man, how can this be done?"
"Damn, why not? I won't make things difficult for you. In this way, as long as you let the little girl out, I will exempt you from three months' salary."
"this..."
The horse thief on the side saw him, slapped his horse and rushed over, kicked the elder away and cursed angrily: "Stop your fucking chirping, our eldest brother has no time to talk to you."
Seeing this, the villagers began to talk, and most of them wanted to ignore this kind of thing. Although they sympathized with Liu Xiner, it was really not worth it compared to his own life.
But no matter what others do, Pan Bao really can't bear to compromise like this. You know that he has been chasing you for so many years, has he taken advantage of you horse thieves?
Seeing the horse thieves keep walking in, Pan Bao couldn't help shouting with trembling hands: "Don't come over, the money has been given to you, what else do you want?"
"How's it going? Do you need to ask me what I want to do? Get out of here right now."
Seeing the horse thief being so angry, the villagers on the side began to persuade: "Pan Bao, why not..."
Before the villagers could say anything, they saw an elderly couple running over and grabbing Liu Xiner with a look of panic on her face.
Liu Xiner cried: "Mom and dad, why are you here?"
"I beg you not to send my daughter away, I beg you..."
When Pan Bao saw her, he knew that his chance to show off had come, and he quickly said: "Aunt Su, don't worry, as long as I, Pan Bao, am here, no one can even think of taking Xi'er away."
"Pan Bao, you have to keep Xiner. Now that Li'er has gone out to study art, I don't want anything to happen to Xiner again."
Looking at the sad couple, Pan Bao suddenly shouted angrily: "Damn it, whoever dares to come here, don't blame me for not having eyes on the sword in my hand."
After seeing the horse thief approaching, Pan Bao was also scared, but then he moved and shouted loudly: "Brothers, this horse thief has oppressed us again and again. We are not unarmed cowards. We are bloody. Pick up your weapons.
Get them out of here."
With Pan Bao's opening words, the young people who had been angry for a while became angry, raised their weapons and roared angrily, and everyone wanted to rush over and kill the horse thief.
The big man looked at the villagers who were not weak, and gradually realized that he should not make them anxious. It was only because he did not know that there was such a beauty in the village, otherwise he would have brought more people.
"Damn it, come back." After seeing the horse thieves come back angrily, the big man threatened with a knife: "Listen to me, your salary will be tripled next month. If you don't have this amount, don't blame me.
Don't be merciful. Let's go."
Many villagers were frightened after watching the horse thieves slap the horses one by one and rush out. If you tell me, if it tripled, wouldn't it cost them their lives?
Just as the horse thief left, Zhang Mu arrived.
He was startled when he saw the horse thief running towards him. If he was stepped on, he would die even if he was an immortal cultivator.
Thinking of this, he jumped out of the way. However, he was hit by the horse thief with a whip, which made him grit his teeth in pain.
"Holy shit."
Zhang Mu fell to the ground and covered his shoulders, hissing his teeth and cursing as he looked at the disappearing horse thief.
At this time, the villagers gradually dispersed. Liu Xiner also saw Zhang Mu and ran towards him quickly.
When Pan Bao saw it, he couldn't help but tremble with anger, but he didn't know what to do. He could only wait for Zhang Mu.
When the couple behind saw her, they also saw the eyebrows and couldn't help but said: "Pan Bao, you have to take good care of Xi'er. If it weren't for you, she would be dead. When you two have time, you can settle the marriage."
After that, the couple sighed and walked away.
After Pan Bao heard this, he felt happy and walked towards Zhang Mu with red sword.
"Brother Muzi, where have you been?"
Seeing Liu Xiner so worried about herself, she couldn't help but feel strange. She didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
At this time, I heard Pan Bao sarcastically say: "You disappear as soon as the horse thief comes, and you appear as soon as the horse thief leaves. I think you are the horse thief's spy."
Before Zhang Mu could speak, Liu Xiner frowned and said, "Brother Pan, how can you say that? How can Brother Muzi be a horse thief?"
"Xian'er, do you know what you are going to say? Do you know who saved you just now?"
"I..."
Zhang Mu waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's all my fault. But I won't leave. If you say I'm a horse thief, then you'll kill me."
"Okay, I'll make it happen for you."
Seeing that Pan Bao was about to take action, Liu Xiner quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Pan, please, don't do this."
He looked at Liu Xiner who looked worried, then looked at Zhang Mu who looked innocent, nodded and said: "Okay, but Xiner, remember, Aunt Su just said that you will marry me in the future."
"What? This..."
Pan Bao said coldly: "Okay, do you still want to disobey Aunt Su? Think about it for yourself, is it worth it for him?" After saying that, he walked towards the village.
...
After Zhang Mu returned to the house, he began to promise that he would not leave again, which made Liu Xiner feel relieved.
During the conversation, he also stabilized the horse thief's residence. Because he knew that the horse thief would definitely come back. With his current strength, it would be very easy to face the horse thief.
Finally, he also found out where the horse thief was staying, and then waited for nightfall to go out and capture the horse thief.
After looking at the crescent moon hanging high, Zhang Mu tidied up, picked up the long sword and gently walked around Liu Xi'er who was lying on the table. He looked at Liu Xi'er. Zhang Mu brought a piece of clothing and gently covered it.
On her body, she quietly walked out of the house.
After coming out, he took a big breath and said softly: "Xian'er, I'm sorry, I broke my promise again." After saying that, he ran towards the outside of the village.
At this time, I saw a person walking out quietly, wasn't it Pan Bao?
"This guy went out again. Could it be that he was tipping off a horse thief?" Thinking of this, he said coldly: "No, I'm going to kill him."
After saying that, he raised his legs and rushed out. He accidentally kicked a can, but he didn't care and rushed out.
Shan said that after Zhang Mu left the village, his speed was surprisingly fast. Even though he was not as fast as a horse, he could still reach the horse thief's location in just one stick of incense.
Pan Bao, who was behind, couldn't keep up at all, but even so, it was even more certain that Zhang Mu was the spy of the horse thief, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to fool him.
In addition, I wanted to follow up to see the situation so that we could take defensive measures for the village.
After about a stick of incense, Zhang Mu arrived outside a village.
Zhang Mu hid behind a big tree and looked around the village, and finally lost his worries.
According to the structure of this cottage, I believe that there are no more than fifty people inside. This is still too much, but to be precise, there should be about thirty people.
Judging from the horse thieves I saw today, I guess relying on my own strength, coupled with the night attack, I guess there will be no problem at all.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a cold voice: "It's not that I hate you, but it's your fault for having bad intentions towards Xi'er." After saying that, he disappeared into the darkness.
I saw a person in the cottage sitting on a stone, with the knife in his hand lying aside. It was obvious that he didn't believe that anyone would come up.
At this time, a hand suddenly covered his mouth. Before he could scream, a sharp blade scratched his neck, a stream of blood splashed out, and the horse thief tilted his head and stopped moving.
After putting the horse thief down on the ground, a man jumped out from behind the stone. It was Zhang Mu who was holding a short blade. He rubbed the short blade on the horse thief's body, jumped up and sneaked into another place again.
