Chapter 341 [Elbow Flying Two Miles]
Master Liao crouched by the crack in the door, looking out at the herdsmen surrounding them. "Brother Sheng, can you handle these herdsmen by yourself?"
On the night that Jiang Lili and her friends went up the mountain, a fire broke out in the village warehouse, which was next to the granary. Both houses were burned down, and the corn and wood inside were turned to ashes. The houses of two other residents were also burned down.
Just after the herdsmen desperately put out the fire, they discovered that all their belongings were missing.
Everyone tightened their belts and was determined to find the murderer and take revenge.
Everyone unanimously suspected that it was a gang crime. One person was responsible for setting the fire to attract everyone's attention, and the other was responsible for stealing things from house to house while everyone was putting out the fire.
The herdsmen leader Xiya received a report from the herdsmen that they had seen an old man named Sheng Zhixing wandering around the pasture at night instead of sleeping.
Some people also saw the child Liao Dabao running around with a flint.
So today Xiya brought the herdsmen to find Master Liao Sheng Zhixing to question him.
Sheng Zhixing observed the situation outside the door. There were fifteen herdsmen coming to see him.
"Li Li is about to go down the mountain. Wait until they come. I won't take any action."
Sheng Zhixing said excitedly, "I've been investigating all night these past few days and have finally found the whereabouts of the 32 BMWs that went missing from the mountain!"
He has been wandering around these days looking for clues to solve the case, but he didn't expect to be framed. There must be the king's lackeys among these people.
However, these herdsmen did not give them a chance. Xiya held up a torch and said, "You dare not come out, which means you are guilty. Come on, let's search their residence together!"
Just as Xiya was about to storm in with his men, Sheng Zhixing stepped out and said, "As followers of the goddess, we're not short of money. How could we possibly steal your things?"
Xiya sneered, "Goddess? There's no trace of the goddess anymore! Rumors are everywhere that the God and the God's Messenger have been killed by the Moon Clan. Not only have you been seen fooling around outside, but you also have every motive to steal."
"The goddess and the messenger are dead. You two are left without any support. You need a lot of money and property to leave Mi Country and settle down in a new place."
Xiya changed his polite demeanor from the first time they met and became rude and unreasonable: "Tie them up and torture them until they tell you where they hid our property!"
The two herdsmen beside Xiya were about to rush up and take Master Liao and Sheng Zhixing away.
Sheng Zhixing stood in front of Master Liao and warned the herdsmen: "Don't come over here, or I will really be rude to you."
The two herdsmen who came to arrest him listened as if they had heard some great joke: "Old man, how can you be so rude to us?"
After saying that, the two men came up with their wrists turned, ready to show this ignorant old man a little disrespect.
In the blink of an eye, Sheng Zhixing raised his elbow and knocked the herdsman who was about to hold his shoulder away with an elbow strike.
Sheng Zhixing relaxed his muscles and bones.
The arrogant herdsmen bullied him because he was old and weak, and he raised his hand and elbowed them, sending them flying two miles away.
Sheng Zhixing's bull-like fighting ability stunned everyone.
At this moment, many voices came from the distance, trying to stop them. Other herders from the ranch rushed over. Most of these herders were the elderly, the weak, women and children. They stood in front of Xiya's group and protected Master Liao and the villagers. "You don't have solid evidence, so you can't arrest them so easily."
The children chattered and looked at their father, trying to pull at their clothes.
"Brother Dabao gave us candy yesterday and taught us to read. How could he be a bad person? Dad, you are not allowed to touch them, otherwise I will ignore you for the rest of my life!"
"Dad, you can't touch the boss of our Yuanbao Gang! He's my boss, and he's also your boss!"
The older women looked at their sons in disapproval, saying, "Dabao even taught me how to grow flowers. My flowers are growing better now! You unfilial son, if you dare lay a hand on Dabao, you'll never be allowed back home again!"
The old herdsman pointed his wooden cane at his grandson's nose and cursed, "Brother Sheng taught me Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin, and has been taking me for morning exercises these past few days. I feel a lot younger now. You rebellious grandson, if you dare to lay a hand on Grandpa Sheng, I will never forgive you!"
"The little divine envoy Dabao can also draw talismans to ward off evil spirits! You are offending the divine envoy by doing this!"
…
Master Liao and Sheng Zhixing looked at the herdsmen who stood in front of them and spoke for them, and their eyes were filled with tears. There are still many good people in this world, and the mass work they have done these days has not been in vain!
I also have to thank the mountain bandit sister Guan Yueyuan!
When they first arrived at Panyue Pasture, Sheng Zhixing and his team felt that the young herdsmen on duty were full of vigor and vitality, easily manipulated and exploited, and not very reasonable.
So Guan Yue, who was well versed in Marxist philosophy, showed them a clear way. First, he started with the families of these herdsmen, went to their homes to offer them warmth and became one of them.
So the old man and the young boy each used their status to their advantage and attacked house by house these days, and now it finally worked.
The herders who were about to capture the old man and the child were in a dilemma when they heard their own family members step forward to stop them. They all looked to Xiya for help: "Xiya, brother, what should we do now? We can't do anything to our family members, can we?"
What's more, Sheng Zhixing's fighting power just now really scared them.
Xiya's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. What kind of magic potion did these two people use on the elderly, weak, women and children in the village?
"Fellow villagers, please calm down. I know you are getting along very well with the two divine messengers."
"But now, the granary has been destroyed. We can't afford to eat, and our savings are gone."
"You all know I'm not an unreasonable person. We're only taking these two divine messengers away for investigation. We're not going to kill them. Once the truth is revealed and they're clear of suspicion, we'll set them free."
Xiya, with a bitter expression, urged the villagers to remain calm, "The temperature in the mountains has dropped dramatically these past few days, and the wood we were going to use to heat the livestock has all been burned to ashes in the fire."
"These are all serious matters concerning our survival and the very existence of the ranch. How can we let them go simply because of friendship? Wake up!"
"If we run out of food and our livestock freeze to death, will the gods and goddesses we all talk about save us? They can barely save themselves now."
His words gradually relaxed the expressions of many people.

Jia and Jida insisted on sending someone to see them off. With the Moon Tribe people leading the way, everyone went down the mountain much faster.
At this time, the sound of eagles mooing was heard in the sky.
