366, Three Kingdoms era twenty-four
The first middle-aged man who was hit by Zhao Feng struggled to get up and sat on the ground in a miserable state. He was still unconvinced and said loudly:
"You and we are both outsiders, why are you looking at the old farmers here?"
"Shut up!" Zhao Feng kicked the man unconscious, pointed the purple electric flying dragon bright silver gun at the others, and shouted: "Why are you here to be a thief and rob these innocent farmers?"
When a group of local farmers were in defeat, unexpected help arrived, and this strange outsider was actually willing to help them. This situation made these farmers very happy.
"We are hungry, and there are monsters in the water. We really have no choice, so we come here in search of food!" A young man who was still able to stand explained with shame.
"When you're hungry, you can ask for help. Why do you want to rob and hurt people? At worst, you can help them work to get paid. What's the difference between doing this and being a robber?"
Zhao Feng spoke with dignity and justice. Most of the people who were beaten lowered their heads, and only seven or eight people held grudges.
The young man simply took courage and pointed at the person who was kicked unconscious by Zhao Feng and several other people, and said, "We are also forced. They have weapons and force us to join the gang. If we are not willing, we will be beaten!"
Zhao Feng listened to the words and deeds of the young people in front of him, and his heart moved: "Are you also from the earth?"
The young man was stunned, as were the others, who all looked at Zhao Feng with strange eyes.
The young man and his companions looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Are you from Earth too? My family is from Wuchang, and most of these people are my fellow villagers!"
"My family is from the southern part of Hanzhong, and I'm in college!" Zhao Feng replied.
"Great!" The young man limped happily and came to Zhao Feng, pointing to the guy underground:
"They are our local bullies. Because they are cracking down on gangsters and evil, they have nowhere to stay and they secretly do some dirty deeds."
"After our world changed drastically, these guys, together with others, hijacked us and used us as cattle and horses. Many people died. Only some of the people here, and others went to the north!"
When Zhao Feng heard that the middle-aged man was not a good guy, he was so angry that he raised his hand and fired a shot, pinning the middle-aged man to the ground. Then, the silver gun flew and killed all the middle-aged man's accomplices.
"Which of you is the leader? Come and answer!" Zhao Feng asked the local farmer.
With the support of a young man, an old father-in-law with a robe on his body came to Zhao Feng and cupped his hands: "Brother, we have lived here for generations and made a living by farming. There have been great changes here this year. I'm afraid I'll wait.
It’s hard to make a living again.”
"Why?" Zhao Feng asked.
The old man continued to answer: "I heard from the elders in the village that the demon king of the demon clan has broken the seal. The demon clan will break the peace with my human clan. I am afraid that war will break out! Alas!"
The old man looked very worried and pointed at his companions:
"The elders asked us to harvest the crops early and planned to move out today, but we couldn't bear to do it!"
Although Zhao Feng is not completely sure of defeating the Demon King, he is not afraid of the Demon King and other demon clans. As long as the puppy takes action, he will destroy the demon clan here in minutes.
"Don't worry, old man, there is nothing to fear from the demon clan. If they dare to come, I will kill them all!"
The father-in-law didn't quite believe that Zhao Feng could resist the monster clan, but he still greeted Zhao Feng warmly: "Brother, if you don't dislike it, you might as well wait with me to discuss it in detail in the village!"
Zhao Feng agreed to his father-in-law's invitation and made a request: "These people are also my companions. I apologize to my father-in-law on their behalf. Please allow them to go to the village together. I will pay for the food they need!"
The old man agreed immediately, and when Zhao Feng followed, he threw a few fireballs and turned the dead bodies into ashes. When the old man and the other farmers saw it, everyone immediately looked happy.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be a stranger. Now our village can be saved!"
The young man and more than a hundred people followed Zhao Feng, supporting each other, and arrived at the village that the father-in-law mentioned.
After this trip, Zhao Feng realized that this village called Lijiacun was really not close to this field. The group of people walked for most of the day and did not return to Lijiacun until 10pm in the evening.
"My father-in-law, why are you so far away from the fields? Aren't you afraid that your crops will be stolen?"
"Alas, this distinguished guest doesn't know, and we can't help it. In the nearby area, only the highlands can be cultivated. Not only our Lijia Village, but also the surrounding villages and towns with a radius of more than a thousand miles point to that field.
Only by producing enough food can we barely make ends meet. If we really abandon this place and move to another place, it is estimated that most of the old, weak, women and children in the village will die on the road."
As the father-in-law was talking, the elder of Lijia Village, who had been notified in advance, came with the elders in the village to greet him.
"I didn't know that a distinguished guest was coming, but I was disappointed to welcome him from afar. I hope I can atone for my sin!"
"Old man, please get up!" Zhao Feng helped the old man with white hair and silver hair up. The old man stood up tremblingly, very happy:
"I wonder if your distinguished guest can do our village a big favor. Our Lijia Village is willing to give away the tributes we have accumulated for more than a hundred years!"
As he said that, the old man actually led all the elders in the village to kneel down to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng hurriedly dissuaded him: "Old man, if you have anything to say, please get up and say it. I will never refuse anything I can do!"
After receiving Zhao Feng's promise, the old man stood up with the elders in the village, and everyone bowed and saluted again.
"Thank you for your visit!"
Seeing this, Zhao Feng had already guessed in his mind that the matter must be the scourge of the demon clan that his father-in-law mentioned.
There are about five to six hundred households in Lijia Village. The population is not small. The village is built halfway up a hillside. The scattered cottages are very shabby. Most of the villagers who come and go are not very good. The strangest thing is that there are very few young people here.
, Zhao Feng saw almost all old people and young children. The young man who helped the old man before was still a lame man.
Sure enough, Zhao Feng followed the elder of Lijia Village and sat down in the outer hall of the largest ancestral temple in the village. Elder Li said:
"Unsatisfied with the distinguished guests, young people in Lijia Village and more than 20 surrounding villages and towns are forced to work for the demon clan, or stationed at the border to resist the invasion of the demon clan that is hostile to us. Therefore, only the old, weak, women and children like us are here.
Farming the land for a living.”
When Zhao Feng heard this, he felt a little confused: "Listen to what the old man said, are there any demons in this clan that are friendly to humans like us?"
"Yes, most demons can live in harmony with my human race. Although there are some frictions between them, they can also trade fairly."
"However, some demon clans who believe in the demon king regard us as enemies, and they will raise troops to invade every autumn harvest season!"
