Chapter 12 Wu Village

…

Finally entering the village gate, Wu Xuan tied the little white horse to the platform at the door, finally calming the horse's mind and no longer trembling.

Hei Wazi came down from the watchtower and curiously pulled the hem of Wu Xuan's clothes to his nose and sniffed it.

"It smells so good, even more fragrant than the pu chung I baked. Brother Xuan, why have you become so white? I remember you looked very similar to me before... Everyone said we were like brothers."

"What are you talking about in your sleep!"

Wu Xuan looked at Hei Wazi's complexion, which was comparable to Kunlun Nu's, and pulled back the hem of his clothes without ceremony.

"This is the incense smell of batik. Don't use metaphors if you don't understand."

"cut……"

In the past, Wu Xuan was a little different in the village, but now that he has been away for half a year, he has become even more different when he comes back.

"Where is the old village leader?"

"In the ancestral hall with my clan uncle."

Wu Xuan went straight to the ancestral hall without saying a word. Hundreds of people in Wu Village are all related to each other. They are considered to be the Wu clan, which values ​​unity.

We always talk about everything and help each other, and this kind of help can even reach the level of dividing a mouthful of rice into two parts, one for me and eight for you.

When Wu Xuan came to the entrance of the ancestral hall, he was shocked to find out.

In the open space in front of the ancestral hall gate, there was a pillar with three dirty bandits tied to it with white cloths tied on their arms. They were obviously the same group of bandits who attacked Huangjiaqu.

"Old village leader, clan uncle, eldest grandfather, second grandfather..."

"Wu Xuan'er?"

Many old men looked at Wu Xuan who suddenly came over and scrutinized him. After all, the changes were so great that his parents might not recognize him.

"It's me. These are all changes brought about by practicing martial arts."

"That's it..."

After chatting for a while and taking a little time to explain, Wu Xuan pointed at the three bandits and said.

"These people all fled from Yuanshan Mansion. They are probably subdued by some force. When I came here today, I passed by Huangjiaqu and was killed by rogue bandits."

"They should be exploring the way. The nearby Wang Village and Li Village may have encountered something unexpected. After all, our Wu Village is the only one in a relatively hidden location. It would be difficult for non-locals to find us."

"Indeed."

The grandfather, who had been a hunter all his life, said while stroking his beard that hung down to his chest.

"Your Brother Zhuzhu caught these guys in the bamboo forest. They wanted to steal our bamboo chickens at that time. They should be damned!"

The Zhuzi brother he talks about is his eldest son who inherited his hunting skills, Wu Zhu—Wu Dalang!

The old village leader took over the conversation.

"Their arms are all wrapped in white cloth. They should be assigned by Fang Kou from Yuanshan Mansion. Wu Xuan'er is anxious to come back because he wants Wu Village to be more vigilant, right?"

"That's right, it's just... Fang Kou?"

Several old people looked at each other and sighed.

"It's a good thing you're back, otherwise your parents would have made a fuss and went to Qishan City to save you."

Wu Xuan was even more confused.

"what happened?"

"A few days ago, a regular army came to Qishan City. I heard that they are members of the Fang clan's army in Yuanshan. There are nearly a thousand people and they are recruiting troops in Qishan."

"All men aged 13 to 40 are required to participate, and the Iron Eagle Martial Arts School has been directly expropriated."

"The owner of the museum, Qi Tieyi, is no match for General Fang. His legs have been crippled and he has been hanging on the city wall for half a day."

"What?!"

Wu Xuan was shocked, and then his anger welled up. Master Qi had some greed for money, but he was a good person. He was not only kind to him, but also fair to others.

He even adopted many orphans on weekdays. Although he had his own thoughts, he did what a gentleman did and he should not have ended up like this.

"Wu Xuan'er, you don't know about this?"

Seeing Wu Xuan's reaction, the second grandfather stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive. How long have you been practicing martial arts? Qi Tieyi is no match for General Fang, let alone you."

Wu Xuan took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and pointed at the three bandits with a cold expression.

"Are they from Fang Kou?"

"That's right. They forcibly recruited many refugees. They didn't have uniform weapons, so they wrapped their arms in white cloth to prove their identity."

"They came out to collect food."

"Is this how food is collected? Damn it!"

Bandits in troubled times are certainly hateful, but their indifference to production and the characteristics of staying in one place allow them to retain vitality after plundering and will not kill them all. After all, they rely on these honest farmers to make a living...

Military gangsters are different. They wander around all over the country and will not be satisfied until they collect every last drop of money. They may even massacre villages and seize civilian women to serve as military prostitutes.

Wait until you are about to move to the next place, then kill them to increase the marching speed and save supplies.

This kind of thing has happened more than once, and it is even a regular behavior. Such a disaster, ten rooms and nine empty rooms have become a representative term for troubled times.

"Damn it indeed!"

The old village leader knew the truth well and asserted.

"Call the young men in the village who have never killed anyone and ask them to execute these three beasts."

It is true that Wu Village is hidden and its location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But if the army comes, they can be easily dispatched with just a salvo of rockets.

The old village leader asked young men to practice killing in order to prepare for what might happen in the future.

"Wu Xuan'er, you will start first later and set an example for your brothers and sisters."

"good."

Wu Xuan didn't explain anything, just nodded calmly.

After a while.

Since three bandits were arrested today, everyone in Wu Village was waiting for news at home, so they quickly gathered at the ancestral hall. Wu Xuan saw his parents among the dense crowd.

He took the initiative and walked over.

"Father, mother."

"Xuan'er?"

As expected, he was the most handsome boy in this village. He was dressed in a unique way. Not only did he attract everyone's attention, but even his parents were afraid to recognize him.

"Really you?"

"It's really me!"

"Great! So you're okay."

Wu's mother held him in her arms and rubbed his Tianling Cap so hard that Wu Xuan almost thought his skull was about to be torn off... Fortunately, nothing happened...

"When did you come back?"

"I just met Hei Wazi, didn't he tell you?"

"No."

"It's okay, I'll hammer him to death later."

"Let's see what you can do. Heiwazi has so many brothers. Have you ever beaten them? Just brag."

Wu's father was quite disrespectful and scolded him. From the moment he was born, the two men were not like father and son but enemies. He would not be happy if he didn't exchange a few words...

When Wu Xuan wanted to talk back, Wu's mother directly interrupted the spell.

"Shut up, the boss has to speak."

"walk slowly……"

After being away for half a year, the two became a team.

Wu Xuan had nothing to say. If he had the ability, he could create a trumpet.

"Ahem."

At this time, the old village leader stood on the temporary high platform, pointed at the three frightened bandits, slowly told the story of their origins, and stated his plan.

Let Qingzhuang execute them in public.

"Wu Xuan'er, you are the first to come up."

"yes!"
