These words made Lin Qingshan and the others frown, and they were inevitably angry in their hearts.
Duan De was even more furious.
"Damn it, aren't you trying to get enough of it?" Duan De scolded angrily.
Looking at him like that, I wanted to rush up and have a fight.
Tensions arose between the two sides.
Su Qiye felt helpless when he saw this scene.
Do you want to take action against these guys? Su Qiye can't do this, after all, the opponent is too weak.
He never bothered to bully the weak.
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly sounded.
"Stop it!" the voice came from behind the men.
Everyone looked around and saw an old man with sparse white hair walking over with a cane.
Beside the old man, there were two young men guarding him.
"Clan leader!"
When the middle men saw the old man, they all shouted respectfully. They were very respectful to the old man, their clan leader.
After Lin Qingshan saw the village chief come out, he once again explained his purpose of coming.
"Okay, put down your weapons and come in." The village leader called Lin Qingshan and others to enter the village.
"Chief, these guys have unknown origins. You just let them enter the village. What will you do if something happens later?" the middle-aged man who led the group said with an unconvinced look on his face.
In his opinion, Lin Qingshan and the others are not good people.
Therefore, that guy was very opposed to letting Lin Qingshan and the others in.
But their clan leader seemed determined.
"Shi Feng, shut up!" the clan leader yelled angrily, poking the ground heavily with the crutch in his hand.
This made everyone else in the village tremble and startled. Although the middle-aged man named Shi Feng was reluctant in every possible way, he finally got out of the way.
"Everyone, please come inside." The clan leader said politely to everyone in Lin Qingshan.
Although Lin Qingshan and others were confused, they finally walked into the village.
With their strength here, there is no need to worry that the clan leader will murder them. If the people in this village really want to murder them, it can only be said that they are seeking death.
After entering the village, Su Qiye and others found that there were many women and children standing outside the thatched house. After seeing Su Qiye and others coming in, they immediately returned to the thatched house.
Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be afraid of outsiders.
Su Qiye frowned slightly because he found that although this village had dozens of rooms, there were not many adult men. There seemed to be only a dozen or so at the entrance of the village.
The rest are old, weak, women, children.
"Clan leader, you seem to have a few men here." Lin Qingshan also saw the problem and asked directly.
The clan leader glanced at Lin Qingshan and sighed: "Hey, it's a long story."
Seeing that the clan leader had no intention of talking, everyone stopped asking.
Later, under the arrangement of the clan leader, everyone was arranged to rest in a stone house in the middle.
"You guys can rest here tonight, I'll ask someone to arrange some food for you." The old patriarch staggered out of the stone house on crutches.
Everyone looked at this simple stone house and felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
It turns out that there are still people whose lives are so difficult.
You must know that these stone houses are among the few good houses in the whole village. Many thatched houses are even more simple.
Not long after, Shi Feng walked into the stone house carrying a large basin of meat.
He reluctantly placed the pot of meat on the table.
"Humph, I really don't understand why the clan leader wants you to live here, and even gives you meat that we ourselves are reluctant to eat!" Shi Feng looked unhappy.
Judging from his expression, he was very reluctant.
Duan De's eyes glowed green when he saw so much meat.
"I'm starving to death." He grabbed the meat in the basin and ate it without caring about anything else.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by that?" Lin Qingshan frowned and called out to Shi Feng.
Shi Feng's steps to leave also stopped, and he turned his head with an angry look on his face.
"What do you mean? Do you know that we are already short of food and clothing here, and if you come here, you will eat our entire village's food rations for several days in one go!" Shi Feng said angrily.
His voice was loud, and after a while, the clan leader heard the news and came.
"What's going on?" The patriarch heard Shi Feng's rough voice from a distance, and asked Shi Feng sternly as soon as he came up.
When Shi Feng saw the clan leader coming, he remained silent and his face was gloomy.
At this time, Lin Qingshan asked the patriarch: "Old patriarch, what is the situation in your village? It seems that there are few men here, and the food source seems to be insufficient?"
In fact, Lin Qingshan and the others have absolutely no need to worry about these matters.
But the old patriarch gave them a place to stay for one night and brought them food, especially according to what Shi Feng said, this pot of meat could feed the entire village for several days.
No matter what, Lin Qingshan had to understand the situation here clearly.
Facing Lin Qingshan's inquiry, the old patriarch glared at Shi Feng, and then sighed helplessly.
"Why."
"Old patriarch, please speak slowly, maybe we can help you." Lin Qingshan said.
Su Qiye also said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry."
Everyone could see that the old patriarch seemed to be worried.
"If that's the case, then I'll say it." The old patriarch glanced at Lin Qingshan and the others and said.
"Our village originally had 60 families, a total of more than 300 people. We have lived here for hundreds of years. But some time ago, a group of people came here and killed most of the men in our village.
All the men were arrested, and all those who resisted were killed, so now there are only a dozen men left in our village."
"Besides, those people come to arrest people once a month, and now the time has come again, probably tonight." The old patriarch said with tears in his eyes.
"Who is the other party?" Lin Qingshan asked with a frown.
Although Lin Qingshan and the others were members of the Tianxuan Sect, they had always been aloof from the world. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were like immortals, aloof from above.
However, this does not mean that Lin Qingshan and the others are hard-hearted.
Lin Qingshan would never let go of those who dehumanized and committed crimes.
Not to mention Su Qiye, who hates evil as much as he hates it.
"These people have gone too far!" Jiang Qingyao said angrily.
When Wang Churan heard this, her beautiful eyes were slightly filled with anger.
However, when Duan De heard this, he sneered and said: "Old man, let me tell you, why did you let us in and give us meat to eat? It turns out that was your intention."
