Chapter 516
Zhu Zhiming slumped on the chair and wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of horror and despair.
In Xiaozhu Village, being targeted by gangsters is already a great misfortune.
Now, someone has come to Xiaozhu Village to cause trouble again.
Zhu Zhiming only blamed himself for being too weak. Even at his age, he could only watch others come and run wild in the village.
Xiao Zhan walked slowly and walked to Zhu Zhiming.
His tall and straight figure gave Zhu Zhiming a great sense of oppression.
"Xiaozhu Village is not rich. Whatever you fancy, take it away. My old guy's life will be given to you if you want it."
Zhu Zhiming sighed and said weakly: "Our villagers in Xiaozhu Village are all innocent. Please be noble and spare their lives."
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, he just opened his palm and put it on Zhu Zhiming's shoulder.
Zhu Zhiming slowly closed his eyes and welcomed the arrival of death with unusual calmness.
But the next moment, Zhu Zhiming felt a soft force pouring into the meridians of his body, easing his strength.
Not only that, even his legs, which were useless and had no feeling, began to feel something.
Zhu Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhan with a look of astonishment on his face.
Xiao Zhan's eyes were calm:
"Old sir, we are not here to cause trouble."
Xiao Zhan pointed to Zhu Zhihai's body on the ground and said slowly: "A few days ago, someone from your Xiaozhu Village went to Pingshan to find Fairy Yun for help."
Xiao Zhan pointed to Long Waner who was standing not far behind him and said, "This friend of mine is a disciple of Fairy Izumo."
"We happened to be passing by Xiaozhu Village and thought we could see if we could be of any help."
"It's just," Xiao Zhan glanced at Zhu Zhihai's body on the ground and said slowly, "As soon as he appeared, he said he wanted to arrest my wife and my friend, and said they were going to give them to some gangster."
Xiao Zhan's tone became a little cold:
"Old sir, this friend of mine was kind-hearted and originally spared his life, but he didn't hold on."
"If I were the one who did it, I'm afraid Xiaozhu Village will no longer exist by now."
Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Zhu Zhiming didn't know what to say.
They came specially to help, but Zhu Zhihai actually wanted to capture the two girls and give them to the gangsters. Even if they were beaten to death, he would have nothing to say.
Zhu Zhiming only felt that Zhu Zhihai was confused and gave up his life in vain, and also offended his two friends.
Zhu Zhiming sighed, hugged Xiao Zhan, and then looked at Long Wan'er and Ye Wei, who had cold faces.
"Oh, I, Xiao Zhucun, am destined to be like this. I just let down the good intentions of the three of you. I'm really sorry."
While talking, there were rapid footsteps outside the ancestral hall.
Dozens of young people stood outside the ancestral hall door, blocking the entire ancestral hall door.
Zhu Zhishan walked into the ancestral hall, first looked at Zhu Zhiming sitting on the chair, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still alive, and then looked at Zhu Zhihai's body.
Finally, Zhu Zhishan's eyes fell on Xiao Zhan and the others.
After seeing the faces of Xiao Zhan and the others clearly, Zhu Zhishan was stunned.
"Old sir, we meet again."
Xiao Zhan spoke slowly and only said this.
As if he was worried that Zhu Zhishan would take action directly, Zhu Zhiming coughed twice and said quickly:
"Brother Zhishan, these three are from Pingshan and are here to help!"
Zhu Zhishan nodded, then raised his hands to Xiao Zhan and the others and said:
"Three of you are interested.".z.br>
"Zhu Zhihai died because of his bad luck, so I won't go into details. The three of us here in Xiaozhu Village are very happy as guests."
"It's just that among the gangsters who are targeting our Xiaozhu Village, there is one who is at the seventh level of the Starlight Realm. It's better that the three of them don't die in vain."
Xiao Zhan did not speak, but looked at Long Wan'er.
three of them
, indeed there is no obligation to help Xiaozhucun.
What's more, after arriving, the commotion was not pleasant.
But if Long Wan'er is willing to help Xiaozhu Village, Xiao Zhan will also lend a helping hand within his ability.
Long Wan'er snorted coldly and said slowly:
"If I were not the disciple of Izumo Fairy, I would not care about the affairs of your little bamboo village."
"Master taught me my skills, and before he died, he told me to be a hero."
"But whether we can help you or not depends on whether we have the strength to help you."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhishan sighed, "The leader of that group of gangsters is at the seventh level of the Starlight Realm, but we don't know if there are other masters behind them."
Long Wan'er frowned, looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Xiao Zhan, I don't have the strength to help them, but if you can help, I, Long Wan'er, owe you."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and signaled to Long Wan'er that he didn't need to say more.
Then Xiao Zhan looked at Zhu Zhishan and asked slowly: "When will the gangsters come?"
Zhu Zhishan frowned: "Little brother, are you sure you have the strength? I don't want you to risk your life in vain. Our Xiaozhu Village cannot repay this kindness."
Xiao Zhan shook his head: "If the opponent is only at the seventh level of the Starlight Realm, then there will be no problem."
Zhu Zhishan was stunned:
"Little brother, are you at the eighth level of the Starlight Realm?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and said nothing.
Zhu Zhishan's expression finally became more relaxed: "Counting the time, the gangsters will come again in just a few days."
"Little brother, don't worry. If nothing can be done, you can just leave. Even if my little bamboo village is destroyed, it is still our fate."
"If you can really help us deal with that gang of gangsters, you will be a great benefactor to our Xiaozhu Village. We will remember your kindness forever."
With that said, Zhu Zhishan looked at the bewildered villagers outside the ancestral hall and said in a deep voice: "Go and clean up the best house in the village, let Zhu Dafu's family prepare a table of delicious dishes, and invite three distinguished guests to the dinner tonight!"
The villagers outside nodded quickly and ran towards the head of the village.
That night, the newly built yard at the end of the village was brightly lit, and it was very lively as cups were exchanged.
Xiao Zhan had a few drinks and then went to practice with Ye Wei.
Long Wan'er walked around the village until daybreak, then returned to the yard.
They thought that the gangsters would come in two days, but the people of Xiaozhu Village did not expect that before noon, a group of gangsters rushed into Xiaozhu Village like a violent storm.
The villagers in Xiaozhu Village rushed out with hoes and long sticks and gathered outside the ancestral hall.
Although they were shaking all over, they didn't run away.
But they were horrified to find that there were more gangsters coming this time than last time.
More than two hundred gangsters, carrying machetes, walked menacingly to the ancestral hall, scanning the villagers with sinister eyes.
Zhu Zhishan arrived immediately, and then Zhu Zhiming was pushed outside the ancestral hall by a man.
Zhu Zhishan looked around, but did not see Xiao Zhan and the others.
He and Zhu Zhiming looked at each other, then sighed, walked up to the leading gangster, and said slowly:
"Not to mention too much, I want food. You can take as much as you have."
"If you want anyone, there's no one."
In fact, last night, Zhu Zhishan had already sent all the women in the village, whether they were married women or those who had not left the court, out of Xiaozhu Village and found places to hide.
The leading gangster had a beard on his face, a tall and sturdy figure, his eyes were always glowing red, and he exuded a blood energy. He had obviously taken many lives.
His name is Hu Dabiao, a gangster who escaped from Shituo Mountain more than ten years ago.
Shituo Mountain is a famous gathering place for gangsters. The people from the City Lord's Mansion have cleared away the gangsters dozens of times but failed to kill all the gangsters there.
With this dazzling "experience", Hu Dabiao soon came to this area.
He quickly attracted some scattered gangsters and formed the current force.
His own strength has also risen all the way to the seventh level of the Starlight Realm.
After killing more than a dozen small-scale bandits nearby, Hu Dabiao set his target on Xiaozhu Village.
He dared to come where other gangs did not dare to come.
Hearing Zhu Zhishan's words, Hu Dabiao's face was full of joking:
"Why, you, the father-in-law of the City Lord, didn't invite the people from the City Lord's Mansion?"
The gangsters around him burst out laughing, looking at Zhu Zhishan with mocking eyes.
"Zhu Zhishan, you old guy," Hu Dabiao chuckled, walked up to Zhu Zhishan, reached out and patted Zhu Zhishan's face, his eyes became extremely cold:
"I want both women and food."
"Not even one less!"
"If you miss one woman, I will kill ten of you."
Hu Dabiao looked at the surrounding villagers coldly:
"Bring the person here in half an hour, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
A group of villagers looked horrified, trembling, and did not dare to speak at all.
"It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
The smile on Hu Dabiao's face became particularly cold and ferocious.
He waved to the two hundred gangsters behind him and said:
"So, turn Xiaozhu Village upside down for me. Bring all the women here. I will pick out the rest and reward them all to you."
The two hundred or so gangsters all laughed ferociously.
Then I saw them scattering in a crowd, carrying machetes, and rushing to all parts of the village.
Seeing this scene, a flash of despair flashed in the eyes of Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Zhiming, who was sitting on the chair.
They looked at the courtyard at the end of the village, but still did not see Xiao Zhan and the others.
"Do it! I don't care, let's fight them!"
A man's eyes widened and he roared angrily. He raised the hoe in his hand and rushed directly towards one of the gangsters who was still humming a tune.
"Pfft!"
The hoe dug directly into the gangster's back, and blood spurted out instantly.
The gangster suddenly turned his head and looked at the villager with disbelief.
Only then did the villager realize that he was afraid.
He staggered back, kicked his heels on the stone, and sat down on the ground.
The gangster walked toward the villager with a ferocious look on his face. The hoe was left on his back. The long hoe stick kept swinging from side to side as the villager walked around.
His body continued to tremble, his scarlet eyes widened, he grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, raised the knife high, and slashed at the villager.
"ah!!"
The villager screamed, and then heard a "plop", and the gangster's body fell directly on top of him.
When the other villagers saw this, they were stunned.
But the next moment, these villagers clenched the hoes and long sticks in their hands and rushed towards the bandits.
The scene just now made them understand that these gangsters were not invincible.
Perhaps in terms of strength, these villagers are far behind these gangsters, but in terms of momentum, they have already overwhelmed these gangsters.
