Chapter 167 It’s so embarrassing
The men from Aozigou, who had come in and seen the abundant food in the fields, began to feel their stomachs growling after sitting for a while. At first, they thought they had taken advantage of this trip. Although the journey had been hard, how could they not have enough food in a place like this?
Unexpectedly, as soon as Bing Lao San left, he disappeared without a trace. He didn’t even have a chance to drink water, let alone eat anything else. What the hell!
But this was quite interesting to Master Lu. He whispered to Ding Gui and Village Chief Lai Fu beside him, "With so many people in the room, the old patriarch can still sleep so peacefully. This proves that the Bingdong people are truly extraordinary! This trip was well worth it."
"Yes, it's worth coming." Lai Fu rolled his dry throat. His idea was very simple. As long as the people of Bingdong could give them some food, it would be really worth it.
Ding Guice was vaguely worried. This wasn't the way to treat guests, was it?
Fortunately, this basin is much cooler than the top of the mountain, so so many people can fit in a small stone house.
Then, Master Lu said excitedly, "You may not know that staying indoors during the day and coming out at night is the custom of the Bingdong people. So don't worry, just be patient and wait!"
What?
Do we have to wait until night?
Ding Gui suddenly became restless: "But our family..."
He glanced at the young and middle-aged men in the room. Well, if the desert soldiers caught up with the large group now, then both the villagers of Aozigou and the servants of the Lu family would be chopped like cabbages!
But before he could finish his words, Master Lu shook his head and said, "No need to worry. I don't think those desert soldiers will be able to cross the border for a while."
Lai Fu, who worshipped Master Lu unconditionally, echoed, "Yes, we must trust Master Lu."
“…”
As time passed, Ding Gui felt more and more restless!
He quietly got up and looked out the stone window. He saw a small empty space outside the stone house. There was no one in the fields either. Everything was so quiet, so quiet that even the sound of the wind disappeared.
The third brother was nowhere to be seen.
He walked to the door and tried to open it, but found that it was locked from the outside.
this!?
If you really invite them to discuss something or visit, is it necessary to lock the door?
Ding Gui secretly buried this matter in his heart. He was worried that telling everyone would cause panic and give the other party a chance to act in advance, so he wanted to discuss it with Master Lu. However, he had just sat down next to Master Lu and hadn't opened his mouth yet!
The old patriarch suddenly stopped snoring in his sleep, then turned over and sat up.
My goodness, this old man not only has a head full of white hair, but even his beard and eyebrows are white. His beard grows like hair and hangs down in front of his chest. His two longevity eyebrows are so extreme that it gives people the feeling that he has to reach out and push his eyebrows aside in order to see what is in front of him.
Everyone present was stunned. Where had they ever seen someone looking like this?
It feels like my whole face is covered with hair!
Mr. Lu was surprised and delighted. He stood up quickly, lifted his robe, and ran to the center with a plop. "I am Lu Yan, a humble servant, and I pay my respects to the clan leader."
Guess what? Just when everyone was wondering whether they should kneel down with Master Lu, the yawning old man waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Tie them all up!"
ah?
Everyone was stunned!
Even Mr. Lu was in the same situation. Before he could react, the door was opened with a bang. Dozens of burly men rushed in, each with a knife on his waist and wearing animal skins. Without saying a word, two people stood behind each of them.
One of them held a rope made of rattan, and the other held a knife to their necks. Be good and don't move. I'll tie them up!
Wow, who has ever seen such a scene? Even when the desert soldiers came, they didn’t have a knife put to their necks!
Suddenly, everyone panicked.
The guards around Mr. Lu were okay, after all, they had followed Mr. Lu through the martial arts world and had seen all kinds of situations. But the men in Aozigou were not so good. For those who had been busy working in the fields all their lives, how could they stand such wielding of swords and guns?
Suddenly, someone was so scared that he peed his pants, and the urine flowed out along the ground...
It's so embarrassing! It's so embarrassing!
Ding Gui felt the coldness on his neck and was so scared that he almost peed himself, but he still felt ashamed of others.
He was sure that these people would not kill them easily. Otherwise, given their strength, there would be no need to bring them here to resolve the matter.
Master Lu hurriedly asked, "Senior Clan Leader, may I ask what we did wrong?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and sneered, "How dare you ask? We, the Bingdong people, regard the mountains as our home. The mountains are our mother. You are so bold as to burn Dayun Mountain. You deserve to die."
"But we are also helpless. Senior, you may not know that the Qi and Yan states of the Five Continents are currently being invaded by foreign barbarians. The nomadic tribes of Modu are now in chaos, and we in Yangliu Town cannot escape. In order to escape, we have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
"Hmph, that's none of my business. I'm only looking for the people who burned the mountain."
The old man hooked his hand, called the third brother over and asked, "Are you sure they really burned the mountain?"
The third brother said, "Yes, I saw the whole process. They were the ones who set the fire, and they seemed very afraid that it wouldn't burn out completely."
"I'm so pissed!" The old man stood up, waving his hands and shouting, "Kill them, kill them all!"
Everyone: “…”
I never expected that this was the hermit master that Mr. Lu admired so much.
It seems that there is really no going back today!
The villagers of Aozigou started crying almost at the same time.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry."
"Wife, I can't go back. Woohoo, why is God so blind!"
"I'm so annoyed!" The old man couldn't stand so many men crying at the same time. He stamped his feet anxiously and said, "Hurry up and drag them out."
The men including Bing Lao San looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, one of them, who looked ferocious, asked, "Chief, where do you want to chop? Do you want to chop off the head or pierce the heart?"
"Nonsense, follow this book." The old man casually pulled a book from his bookshelf and threw it on the ground. It can be seen that he was really annoyed and he was a very impatient person.
The cover of the book actually had some large, flamboyant characters written on it: Eighteen Styles of Slaughter and Killing.
Master Lu: “…”
Ding Gui: “…”
It seems that these people have never been executed before, so they still have to follow the book, but now that the book is out, they will probably not survive no matter which situation they face.
Master Lu quickly pleaded, "Senior, please allow me to say a few more words. If we don't burn the mountain to stop those desert soldiers, then our families, relatives, and friends will all be killed by them. Is it wrong for us to ask for mercy? When trees are burned, they will sprout new buds next spring, but when people die, they are gone forever!"
