"No problem, we'd like to stay here for a day and buy some food. We'll pay you."
Zhou Shi'an looked at the polite Li Zhuang without showing any unusual expression.
"That's easy to say. Please come in, young men. Please come in."
Li Zhuang looked at the four imposing men, especially noticing the long swords they carried on their backs. He was ecstatic and gave Aunt Li a look before quickly going into the house.
Zhou Jian watched Li Zhuang enter the house without refusing, and the remaining three followed.
After Shen Manxing came in last, she looked at the aunt standing at the door after closing it and pursed her lips slightly.
It looked like he was guarding them.
"thump!"
After closing the door, Li Zhuang fell to his knees.
The force just sounds painful.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Feng Ling looked at the situation and spoke anxiously first. He wanted to help but was stopped by Zhou Shi'an and Jiang Yihe.
Shen Manxing, who had become a background board, noticed the actions of the three people and pursed her lips again without moving.
It's not so easy to squeeze into the protagonist group.
"Young man! I beg you to save the children of our village."
Li Zhuang knelt down and looked at the three people, ready to kowtow, but Zhou Shi'an had already stepped forward to stop him.
"If you have anything to say, please stand up first."
"Yes, if it helps us define unavoidable."
Jiang Yihe patted his fan and spoke.
Only after hearing these words did Li Zhuang feel relieved and let himself be pulled up.
After standing up, he suppressed the sadness in his heart and explained quickly.
"My fellow villagers, our village is far from any town, and we've basically lived a self-sufficient life, rarely interacting with the outside world. But just a few days ago, a man claiming to be from a demonic cult came to our village. He used force to force everyone in our village to gather in the square, took all the children into a cellar, and demanded we dig him an underground castle."
"He said if we cooperated, he would return the child to us in ten days, but we didn't believe him. He killed Shuangxi's parents on the first day."
Li Zhuang choked up when he said this.
That's a living life!
Just gone like that.
"Won't you seek help from the government or the martial arts sects?"
Feng Ling asked doubtfully, knowing that the government would definitely not be able to deal with the Demon Sect members, but the martial arts sects had always upheld the principles of chivalry and justice, and would definitely come to help them.
"Alas, I also wanted to seek help from the nearest Qinghu Gate, but this demon cult member is very cunning. He locked most of the people in the cellar and dug holes during the day, leaving only the elderly, weak and sick in the village."
"And he would count the number of children every night and every morning. If it wasn't enough, he threatened to kill all the children."
"These children are all loved by their families, so no one dares to run away and ask for help."
One day was not enough for them to reach the town.
"Fortunately, the young heroes accidentally passed by our Pear Village."
He said this with some relief. It was hard to say what would have happened if no one had passed by their village.
"I was lucky enough to go to town and study for a few years. I can see that you are all gangsters. I know this will be dangerous, but I still beg you to save those children. The oldest is only nine years old, and the youngest is only a few months old. If you can save them, I am willing to exchange my life for it!"
After Li Zhuang finished speaking, his eyes became moist.
No one is not afraid of death, but those children are so young, he can't bear it.
"I can do it too, I just ask you to save my Xiao Zhu, he's only eight years old, so young."
Aunt Tian, who was guarding the door, rushed in, with snot running down her face, and was about to kneel down to beg.
If possible, she would be willing to exchange her life for it.
Fortunately, her kneeling action was quickly stopped by Shen Manxing who was standing outside.
"Don't worry, I will help you."
She didn't know what Zhou Tian'an and the others had decided, but she was happy to help.
What she hated most in her life was people who bullied children.
"Yes, we will help you. We are from the Yunfeng Sect. You know the Yunfeng Sect, right? It's very prestigious outside. We will definitely be able to rescue the children."
Feng Ling has always been sentimental. Tears welled up in her eyes after hearing this, and she made the promise without thinking.
"Brother, Jiang Yihe, will you help?"
She looked at the two people who had not yet expressed their opinions and asked anxiously, pulling her sleeves.
"Well, our duty is to protect the people. This is our duty."
Zhou Tian also did not refuse.
"As for me, although I am not from any sect, doing justice has always been my pursuit."
Jiang Yihe looked at everyone and spoke with the same firmness.
"Thank you, thank you so much. I would like to thank you on behalf of those children."
Li Zhuang and Aunt Tian thanked them incoherently.
They were really grateful that Shen Manxing and the others were able to pass by here.
What else should they do?
"Brother Li Zhuang, don't be impatient. Tell us in detail about the characteristics of that demon and how long he has been here."
Jiang Yihe looked at the two people who had not talked about the main point for a long time and could not help but interrupt them.
"Right, right, right! That man calls himself the Monkey King. Not only is he dressed in black, but his fingernails and the corners of his eyes are also black. He's been here for seven days."
"At first, the children were only locked up in a cellar of a family's house, but two days ago, we dug a crypt and he moved all the children inside. Now he has forced us to dig another crypt."
Li Zhuang came back to his senses from his gratitude and hurriedly told about the clues he had collected.
"Well, Brother Li Zhuang, please inform all the villagers tonight. We will do roll call tomorrow morning and find a way to sneak into the cellar and rescue the child."
After listening to this, Zhou Jian made a decision.
The four of them stayed at Aunt Tian's house.
In order to avoid attention, Jiang Yihe went alone to observe the monkey at night.
He has good martial arts skills and is good at hiding his aura, so it's safe to let him go.
In the evening he flew in directly from the second-floor window.
"Jiang Yihe, how did you get in here? Does that person look dangerous?"
Feng Ling looked at Jiang Yihe who went to pour water on the table as soon as he flew in and asked curiously.
Shen Manxing, who was sitting on the chair, watched Jiang Yihe drink three glasses of water in a row, and silently took a berry and put it on the table.
Jiang Yihe raised his eyebrows and thanked Chen Manxing, who was wearing a bamboo hat, and took the food and ate it without hesitation.
While eating, explain what you saw.
"That monkey has gone halfway into demonic possession, cultivating some very strange and wicked skills. He's grown into a monkey with a pointed face and a shifty look."
"In terms of strength, I'm definitely not as good as Big Brother Zhou."
After he finished eating the fruit, he skillfully threw the garbage into the grass outside the window in a parabola.
"But judging from his appearance, he must have been killing people recently. We'd better take action tomorrow."
When he thought of those children who were only a few years old, his brows furrowed.
"Knock."
After a few people rested quietly, there was a knock on the door.
"Young man? Have you rested?"
Aunt Tian's voice came from the door.
