"The sinners in the City of Sinners, what crimes have they committed?" Li Banfeng was unfamiliar with these terms.
Qiu Luoye shook his head and said, "It's hard to explain. Anyway, this group of people is not good, and it is said that they are involved with other states."
"What is the connection with other states? Are they sent from other states?" Li Banfeng immediately became alert. If they were sent from other states, they must not be allowed to set foot on the land.
Qiu Luoye said: "The news spread by those border guards in other states said that no one is allowed to take in the people who escaped from the Sinner City. If you keep them, you will be offended by the border guards.
I can't get through, I'm not afraid of the guards, but these monsters are not easy to deal with, I must act early.
Those who are exploring the land should be more careful these days. Those three-headed monsters are all in the east of the land. Let our people avoid going there."
Qiu Luoye was about to leave again, and Li Banfeng said, "Brother Qiu, let's switch places. You stay here and watch over the land reclamation, and I'll go check on that group of people.
We are in a critical situation now, so as long as they are not sent by other states or inner states to cause trouble, we should try not to use force."
Qiu Luoye waved his hands and said, "I think they are here just to cause trouble! It is safest to leave their lives here!"
Since ordinary methods were not enough to persuade Qiu Luoye, Li Banfeng changed his strategy.
"Brother Qiu, there are hundreds of people working on the land every day. How can you let me keep an eye on them? Can I collect offerings or send people to test them?"
In fact, Li Banfeng can do all these things, but Qiu Luoye doesn't know it.
"Brother, I'm not making it difficult for you..."
Li Banfeng said, "I can't handle the affairs of the local gods. I'll go talk to someone outside and see what the situation is. I can still handle this matter."
Qiu Luoye was worried: "We can fight any monster that comes out of Sinner City. I'm afraid something might happen to you, so I'll ask them to send someone to our territory to talk."
"That won't work," Li Banfeng was worried. "It's okay if they come in alone, but what if they come in as a group? I'll go alone. Even if something goes wrong, I'll have a way to get out."
"Seventh Brother, how about we use some literary tactics on them?" Qiu Luoye planned to write a letter and let Li Banfeng take it to give the other party a little deterrence.
Think about the contract that Qiu Luoye wrote to the monsters. Just for the sake of literary talent, I will not write letters for the time being.
Li Banfeng went directly to the east side of the land and saw Juanzi waiting on the roadside from a distance.
This guy is quite handsome.
Having lived in Pro Province for a year and a half, Li Banfeng had seen a lot of things and did not find anything difficult to accept about the three-headed people.
A tiger under Qiu Luoye was negotiating with Juanzi: "I'm telling you, don't be ungrateful. Master Qiu told you to get out of here right away. If you don't get out, I won't be polite to you."
Juanzi said politely: "It doesn't matter if you don't accept us, can you give us something to eat?"
"Where can we get so much food for you? Get out of here now, don't force me to get violent with you!"
Mengzi got angry: "Why don't you use force? I'm not afraid of you!"
The two sides were about to fight, but when they saw Li Banfeng coming, Tiger quickly retreated to the side.
Li Qi looked at Juanzi, Mengzi, and Xiaoshan, and asked, "Who is in charge?"
Juanzi said: "It's me."
Juanzi was more than two meters tall, and Li Banfeng found it difficult to crane his neck. He pointed to a stone on the side of the road and asked, "Can we sit down and talk?"
Juanzi nodded, and just as she sat down, she was touched and stood up again.
Shitou spoke, and it was the voice of an old man: "Seventh Master, I was called by Master Qiu to talk about something. I haven't opened my mouth for a long time, and this girl sat on my face.
When I was young, I would just sit down, but now that I’m older, this girl is quite heavy and I can’t handle her.”
Li Banfeng nodded, sat on the ground face to face with Juanzi, and asked directly: "What do you want to do here?"
Juanzi said: "We want to find a place to settle down, and we want to ask the local god if he is willing to take us in."
"If you want to settle down in a new place, can't you just open up the wasteland? What's so good about this?"
The three heads looked at each other, as the person in front of them didn't seem to know them very well.
Juanzi heard Shitou calling Li Banfeng "Seventh Master" just now, so she followed suit and said, "Seventh Master, we can't open up wasteland. The local gods won't tolerate us."
“Why can’t it accommodate?”
"We are sinners, sinners from the City of Sinners." Juanzi was very frank and calm when speaking. They had no way of hiding this matter as the mark on their bodies was too obvious.
"What is your crime?"
Mengzi asked, "Don't you know the City of Sinners?"
Juanzi glared at Mengzi and said, "Don't interrupt!"
Li Banfeng said to Juanzi: "Even though you are the one making the decision, you still have to let others speak. With me, everyone can speak."
Juanzi didn't quite understand what he meant by being able to speak. What did it mean?
And this guy's attitude is weird.
He knew nothing about the City of Sinners, but when he saw the three-headed man, he didn't seem to be looking at a monster.
Juanzi saw hope in Li Qi: "Master Qi, those who came out of the City of Sinners are all guilty people. If the local god is willing to give us a meal, we are willing to work like cows and horses. We dare not even think about reclaiming wasteland."
"What exactly is your crime?"
"In the Sinner City, people are divided into two categories. One category is those who came to Santoucha from outside, but failed to enter the Dao and became a three-headed monster. Such people are guilty and will be sent to the Sinner City.
The other type is people who were born in the City of Sinners. According to the rules of the City of Sinners, three-headed monsters cannot marry and have children, but some people still gave birth to children.
These children originally had only one head, but they were born sinners and had to stay in the City of Sinners. Gradually, they all grew three heads and became monsters..."
"Don't keep calling me a monster," Li Banfeng frowned slightly, "It sounds harsh."
Juanzi looked at Li Banfeng for a moment. Although she hadn't eaten for a few days, she felt more confident and spoke a little louder:
"The skylights in the City of Sinners are constant. This year they are particularly fierce. When it is rare, there will be at least one in three days. When it is frequent, there will be two or three times in one day.
The sunlight shines on people, and within a few hours, they explode. You may not have seen that scene, and I don’t know how to describe it. "
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I understand. I almost saw it."
Juanzi continued, "We didn't know how many people died in the city, and we didn't know how long we could live. There was a boundary outside the city of sinners, and we couldn't get out. Later, a benefactor came and showed us a way to survive."
"Which benefactor?"
"The benefactor didn't let us reveal his identity. He gave us a map and asked us to follow it. He said we would definitely find someone who would take us in.
Master Qi, we have made it this far, and every step we take has blood in our footprints. Please tell Master Qiu that if he is willing to accept us, we will be very grateful.
It doesn't matter if you don't want to take us in, we just ask Master Qiu to give us something to eat, even just one meal."
Li Banfeng was silent for a moment, then asked, "There's something I don't understand. When you say take you in, do you mean give you food and drink every day and support you?"
Juanzi shook her head repeatedly and said, "We just want a place to live together, and we will find a way to make a living. If there is any need for us, and if you ask us to do anything, we will agree to it."
Li Banfeng looked at Mengzi: "What do you say?"
Mengzi lowered his head and said, "What my sister said is what I said."
Li Banfeng looked at Xiaoshan again: "What about you?"
Xiaoshan said in a low voice: "I always listen to my sister."
The three of them spoke one after another, which made Li Banfeng feel somewhat familiar.
"It's not enough to just talk, you have to do something."
Mengzi became alert when he heard this, as they had just suffered a loss.
"What do you want us to do?"
Li Banfeng pointed to a forest in the distance and said, "Let's cut down some trees and build some houses first."
Mengzi sneered: "It's the same routine again."
Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "What's the trick?"
Juanzi bit her lip, raised her head and said, "We agree."
You've been fooled before, why do you still agree to it?
Because there is no choice.
I haven't eaten for several days. I would accept being a laborer even if it means I can get a meal.
"It's not enough to just have a house. You have to farm. Do you know how to do farm work?"
Mengzi laughed. The deceptive methods were all the same.
Juanzi nodded and said, "I can do farm work, too."
"From now on, you are the people of this land. If you encounter any trouble, you have to take action!"
"We will do whatever Master Qi tells us to do."
"It's settled. I'll write a deed and you'll all put your fingerprints on it."
Li Banfeng is gone.
Mengzi gritted his teeth and said, "What's the point of getting a contract? You're just telling lies that sound so real."
Juanzi advised: "It's okay to have a stutter, don't say more."
"We should listen to Aunt Fang on this matter. We should go and rob it."
"Stop making a fuss. Our benefactor said we can't do that kind of thing!"
Li Banfeng returned to his residence, took out a large piece of paper and wrote a contract.
The record player said, "My dear husband, we don't need such a big piece of paper to write a contract, right?"
"My dear, if I use small paper, I'll have to write three thousand copies."
"Three thousand?" Hong Ying was stunned. "My husband, what kind of contract requires three thousand?"
Hong Ying shivered at the scalding sensation of steam. Li Banfeng did not explain, just wrote the contract and left Suishenju.
The record player saw the contents of the deed: "My husband has found three thousand permanent residents. Do you really want to turn the new land into a legitimate land?"
Hong Ying sighed, "My husband is a capable man!"
The record player raised the board and said, "If I don't tear your mouth to pieces today, I will be considered lax in my family discipline!"
Hong Ying covered Taozi's mouth and said, "If you want to rip my mouth, then rip my mouth. Why do you always hit Taozi?"
"Do you have a mouth, you bitch!"
Li Banfeng placed the deed in front of Juanzi and watched her put her fingerprints on it. "Have your people put their fingerprints on it."
Juanzi said: "They all listen to me..."
"No, that won't work. All three leaders must agree. If one leader disagrees, that person is not allowed to enter the land."
Li Banfeng just sat there, watching more than 3,000 people put their fingerprints on a large piece of paper one by one.
More than three thousand three-headed men stood in front of them, and even the tigers sent by Qiu Luoye were trembling.
"Seventh Master is really not an ordinary person. How come he doesn't know how to be afraid?"
Li Banfeng was really not afraid.
What's wrong with three heads? Isn't it nice to discuss things together, give advice, chat, and play cards?
Aunt Fang looked at the contract and sighed: "Juanzi, why don't you learn your lesson?"
Juanzi lowered her head and said, "Aunt Fang, please stop talking and get everyone something to eat first."
Li Banfeng had already prepared the food, two thousand oranges bought from the orange orchard: "This is good stuff, two people can eat one, it's enough to fill you up, put the money for the meal in my account for the next few days, you have to pay it back later!"
Aunt Fang sneered, "They tricked us into doing hard labor and even asked us for food money. This is worse than two needles!"
That being said, after being hungry for so many days, everyone ate all two thousand oranges in no time.
"Eat well and work!"
Li Banfeng drew a boundary for a piece of land and asked three men to build houses and cultivate the land.
Qiu Luoye was very nervous: "Brother, can you bring them all in?"
"Don't worry, Brother Qiu, isn't this the beginning of popularity for our plot?"
One of the guards whispered, "Can a monster like this be considered a human being?"
Zuo Wugang glared at Zhi Gua and said, "Don't call them monsters anymore. Master Qi doesn't like it!"
Li Banfeng passed the station and returned to his own territory, found Zhang Wanlong, bought a few bags of quick seeds, and handed them to Juanzi.
"If you sow these seeds, you'll have a harvest in three days, but you can only use this crop, otherwise the soil will be damaged. Get through this year first, and next spring, you'll have to plant the proper seeds."
After Li Banfeng left, some of the three-headed men laughed and said, "They said that after we finish growing this crop next year, they will let us go."
Juanzi didn't say much. She led her people to plant the seeds, water and fertilize. Three days later, the harvest was ready. Juanzi led her people to collect the grain and put it in bags. She found Li Banfeng and asked, "Seventh Master, how much do you think we can take away?"
All three leaders were ready to be driven away.
Li Banfeng looked at the food and said, "These are all yours, take them back and eat them."
"Take it back..." Juanzi didn't understand.
Li Banfeng pointed at the wooden house and said, "That's your home. Come home and have dinner."
This word is so unfamiliar.
A group of three-headed men stared at Li Banfeng blankly.
Mengzi looked at Aunt Fang, and Aunt Fang was speechless for a long time.
Juanzi couldn't believe it was true, and asked, "Seventh Master, is there any work for us to do?"
Li Banfeng pointed at the group of people who were clearing the land and said, "Ask them if they need to hire workers so that they can earn more money. Remember to pay me back for the seeds and oranges."
After saying this, Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and left.
The three men kept looking at Li Banfeng's back and watched him walk far away.
This new land is different. There is a lot of sunlight here, it is very bright and you can see very far away.
