Gu Lei looked at Ling strangely, nodded, dragged Li Yi onto the horse, and the two rode their horses toward the nearest village.
After waking up the villagers who had already fallen asleep from house to house and paying a lot of money, Gu Lei finally borrowed a farmhouse, as well as three chickens and a sheep from the villagers, and waited for what Ling said.
Ling said embarrassedly: "Actually, the method I mentioned is contract art. The dark contract art contains healing spells, but this spell is exchanged for life. Although it is also the ability to save lives, it still makes people feel very evil..."
"Okay, don't say anything. Save Li Yi quickly. You are not using human life to save Li Yi. There is nothing evil or evil. It's good to be able to save people." Gu Lei interrupted Ling's explanation, "I know your personality, so, hurry up!"
Ling nodded and recited the spell silently. Gradually, her left hand turned into a black tentacle, twisting constantly in the air, and the tentacles were roaring, as if they had been hungry for a long time. Ling extended the tentacles to the sheep, and the tentacles grew in an instant, and wrapped the sheep tightly. The tentacles' head was groping on the sheep, and then inserted it into the heart of the sheep.
The sheep blew in pain and then disappeared. The tentacles' head squirmed, as if they were sucking something. Slowly, starting from the tentacles' head, a touch of red began to spread on the tentacles. Soon, the sheep whose life was sucked away by the tentacles turned into a pool of skin and bones.
Ling used the same trick again and drew the other three chickens one by one, then extended the already purple-red tentacles towards Li Yi. The tentacles seemed to be full and softly placed on Li Yi. Slowly, the red on the tentacles dissipated and returned to their original blackness. Li Yi's pale face slowly returned to blood color and his breathing became stable.
After completing all this, Ling seemed to have all the power in his body been pulled away in an instant, and fell to the ground and could not move. His tentacles quickly shrank back and turned back to the appearance of his left hand.
Gu Lei looked at everything that just happened in shock. Although she claimed that "it is good to save people", she still couldn't accept this method and method of saving people, and even felt nauseous.
After all, things like tentacles are still disgusting for girls.
When she thought of the tentacles squirming slightly just now, Gu Lei retching for a while. She pulled Jiang Ling to the bed, but when she thought of Ling's left hand just now, she gave up this plan and retching for another time when she held the wall.
That night, Gu Lei was destined to be unable to sleep.
The three of them settled in a small village called Banjiao Village. The villagers were honest farmers and were very angry at the actions of the three of them waking them up in the middle of the night. However, when they knew that Li Yi was injured in the battle with the bandits, the villagers became enthusiastic one by one.
Of course, this is also related to the money Gu Lei threw out last night.
Early the next morning, the farmhouse where the three of them lived was pried open by the villagers. When Gu Lei saw what was in the hands of the villagers, she was stunned.
The villagers were holding things in their hands, including steamed buns, wine, and combs. There was even one person holding a little girl in his hand.
"You guys are..." Gu Lei rubbed her swollen eyes, and her mind seemed a little dull after not sleeping all night.
"Heroes, please save our village!" a young man in the lead shouted.
Gu Lei's head became confused again.
The tired Gu Lei returned to the house to wash his face, making him feel a little more awake, and then he quietly thought about the news he had just received from the villagers.
The leading young man is the acting village chief of the village. He told Gu Lei that Banjiao Village has been harassed by a group of bandits recently, and basically comes to the village to "collect rent" every month. Most of the villagers here are honest and honest farmers, working hard on their own acre of three-point land, and their lives are hard. Where can I get the extra money to hand over to those robbers?
The acting village chief spread the news to the town, but the officials in the town ignored the matter. Banjiao Village has always been a place that officials do not pay attention to. The village has no valuable things and the taxes collected every year are small. It doesn’t matter if the place dies.
Therefore, more than a month has passed the report to the town, and the villagers have never seen the town send people. Seeing that the time for the bandit group to collect rent is getting closer, they have to rely on the help of three new adventurers. Some people with knowledge in the village can see from the strange light that came from the farmhouse where Gu Lei lives last night that at least one of these three people is a contractor.
In this way, the villagers had greater expectations for Li Yi and the other two, and they took out valuable things at home. Some of the poor guys even brought their daughter out, hoping that these three adventurers would take them away as maids and so on, at least the children would not be hungry again.
After telling Gu Lei the matter, the villagers put down the things and left the little girl watching the things at the door. The little girl was obviously a little scared and looked around helplessly. His father's words made her dare not go back like this. She was in a dilemma and tears were rolling in her eyes.
Gu Lei sighed, walked back to the door, waved to the little girl, and signaled her to come in.
The girl walked in obediently and walked to Gu Lei uneasy. Her little hand turned from her braid to the corner of her clothes and pinched it back and forth. Judging from her clothes that had been patched with several patches, the family was indeed not very generous.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Gu Lei asked gently, patting the little girl's head gently.
"Fe Zhen, my name is Fei Zhen." The little girl replied timidly.
Gu Lei sighed. How could she guess the reason why Fei Zhen’s father sent her? Most of the people in Xinqin live a hard life, and the money they earn is almost the same as their daily expenses. If you want to do something else, such as what you send your children to school, parents have to save money. Some families can’t even save money. - they are already full and hungry, how can they save money?
Gu Lei thought this, her eyes were filled with tears. She took the little girl's hand and chose a place to sit in the room, and said this to her. She also put it aside for the time being about the bandit group. After all, the other two people had not woken up yet, and she could not do anything big by herself.
As he was talking, Li Yi had already woken up. His round body turned over on the bed and rolled to the ground. He was shocked by himself with a "boom" sound - of course, Gu Lei and Fei Zhen were also shocked.
Li Yi rubbed his forehead and found out that he was sleeping in a torn hut. Suddenly he seemed to understand something, grabbed his collar tightly, screaming like a woman: "Who! You, what have you done to me!"
Gu Lei jumped up in surprise, rushed forward and hugged Li Yi tightly: "You are finally awake!"
The fat man struggled desperately, and the little girl Fei Zhen looked at him curiously, but Gu Lei just didn't let go.
"Okay," Li Yi gave up his resistance, "I'm fine, where is this? What happened to me last night - Oh, by the way, I was actually sneak attacked! Mom, I'm vain for my lifetime!"
Gu Lei let go of Li Yi with red eyes and punched him hard: "I'm not serious yet!"
Li Yi looked at Gu Lei with a silly smile and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "You said you, why are you crying? I'm not used to it..."
Ling didn't wake up until the evening. Seeing that Li Yi had nothing to do, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt embarrassed: "Li Yi, Sister Gu, don't you hate me, right?"
Ling was captured at Xin Qin east of the Central Mountains since she was a child. She had no family love since she was a child. After her master died, she escaped with her talented contractual skills. She wandered around the east of the mainland alone, and her whole body seemed overly mature, but according to the standards of the elves, she was actually underage.
So when I met Li Yi and Gu Lei who were very kind to her, although they had a life-and-death duel, they still depended on them very much, just like the youngest sister in the family, relying on their older brothers and sisters.
She was very afraid of being abandoned when her mind was released, which meant she had lost her spiritual support. She knew that some of her talented spells were unacceptable and she was worried about being disgusted by her "brothers and sisters".
After Li Yi knew that it was Ling's spell that saved him, he laughed "Oh hehe": "Tennis are very good and powerful! Xiao Lingling, you are very good!"
The two girls didn't understand the reason, but Li Yi often said something similar to the unknown reason, so he didn't take it seriously. The two of them took Fei Zhen's hand and ran to the side and whispered.
Li Yi shook his head helplessly, and had to give up teasing the young dark elf and walk out of the house.
He was moving in the open space outside the house, watching the things sent by the villagers on the ground, and sighing at the enthusiasm of the villagers.
"No, I'm not right, I'm just being kind to show my best interest, either a traitor or a thief. I think this village is not rich. They give themselves so much stuff. Is it because they have too much money and have no place to spend it or are they stuck on their foreheads?" The fat man rubbed his double chin and thought, "There must be a problem!" He turned around and entered the house, "Gu Lei, what's the matter with the things outside?"
"Oh, that..." Gu Lei said the matter.
"It's another bandit group? The town doesn't care about this?" Li Yi became angry as soon as he heard this. Whether it was the bandit group or the parents of the people in the town, what he did was very annoying, especially those corrupt officials who were fishing and fishing, who ignored human lives to this extent, which made people complain about what kind of transactions they had with the bandit group.
Li Yi squatted aside and didn't say anything.
Ling was about to go up to comfort Li Yi, but saw the fat man standing up suddenly and waved his hand: "It depends on how I, Li Yi, break the robber crisis! Gu Lei, take my waist card and go to the Imperial Guard to transfer a team of cavalry. We are here waiting for those unsightly boys to come here to go to the trap!"
Gu Lei raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and took Li Yi's waist card and pulled Fei Zhen away.
"It's better to pull my old man over. It's time to loosen his muscles and bones." Li Yi looked at Gu Lei's eyes, his fat face was red, "Uh... be careful on the way."
Gu Lei smiled slightly and helped Li Yi clean up his clothes: "So too."
"Ouch! Stop flirting, Sister Gu, go quickly!" Ling couldn't stand it anymore. Although there were no stingy words, their behavior was really unbearable - especially Li Yi's affectionate look.
Gu Lei nodded, rubbed Ling's head and walked out of the room.
"Sister, where are we going?" Fei Zhen's timid voice came outside the house.
"Sister takes you to the city to play." A horse neighed outside the house, and then the horse left.
"Ling, let's go find the villagers," Li Yi became serious after Gu Lei left, "before reinforcements arrived, we could only rely on the two of us."
The "Running Horse" bandit group is a well-known group. There are not even fifty or twenty or thirty villages and towns that have been robbed. Under the wise guidance of the leader Ma Wei, this team, which has been formed for less than two years, has become a large criminal gang with nearly two hundred members. Ma Wei still feels accomplished in this regard.
Although the team's name is very imposing and has a little funny meaning, and the banners raised in the early stages of the establishment are always laughed at, but the bandit groups or encirclement and army that have really fought with them are frightened by their desperate fighting style. This small team formed by farmers has gradually grown, interpreting the toughness of the new Qin people's style from another aspect.
Ma Wei is a laughing person. No matter what happens, he likes to smile foolishly at others. Even his subordinates of the most direct line don’t know what is behind his smile. However, the origin of the name of the “Running Horse Group” was found by some good people. It is said that Ma Wei has no other hobbies, but he loves running horses. Even if he has taken over twelve concubines, he still runs horses every night, and enjoys it...
Of course, this is just a legend, a legend.
Ma Wei is almost forty this year. After the mainland was unblocked, he colluded with the villagers to rob the family. From the time his ancestors followed the King of Qin to this world, he is already the fifth generation descendant.
Today, Captain Ma was very happy, and it can be said that he was excited. Last month, he saw a very cute little girl in a village called Banjiao Village, so he became interested. He didn't have many hobbies in his life. Apart from running horses, he just liked girls. None of his twelve concubines were over 15 years old. The little girl made him feel itchy and ordered to "collect rent" from the village in a more "civilized" way, hoping that some eye-opening villagers would send the little girl.
Although my face was happy, the news from the town still made our Captain Ma feel like a thorn in his heart - those villagers actually wanted to report to the official! Humph, if it weren't for my Ma who was wise and powerful, and the mayor of the town accepted his own offering, wouldn't I have capsized in the gutter?
Thinking of this, Ma Wei's smile even more - let's slaughter the village today, except for that girl, the rest will not be left!
Today is the day when they "collect rent".
Ma Wei walked out of the tent, turned over the horse, pulled out the machete from his waist, and shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers! Grab money, grain, and girls!"
"Snatch money, food, and girls!"
A team of less than 200 people drove towards Banjiao Village in a mighty manner.
"Li Yi, is the little thing you made useful?" Ling grabbed Li Yi's sleeve and looked around nervously, "I always feel a little unreliable."
"Don't you believe me yet? Although it's a bit ugly, it's at least a living thing, well, a living thing!" Li Yi looked a little depressed, but the gleam in his eyes told Ling that he was very calm.
