Chapter 517 Stars speak
The market in Muqiao Town is very lively, and people from all corners of the villages are here to trade. //《》//(com None/pop-up/advertising full text txt download)
The market is still relatively primitive. Except for some large merchants with fixed gear, many of them are small retail investors like Lao Li who temporarily get some goods to sell here, which is somewhat similar to setting up street stalls.
The lizard bear skin on Lao Li's stall can be made of high-end leather jackets. The lizard bear meat has a nourishing effect, while the lizard bear bone can be used as medicine to strengthen the aphrodisiac and nourish the kidneys. It is an excellent supplement for men. So shortly after the stall was set up, several people came to see his goods.
Lizard bears are not easy to hunt, and old Li is very popular and the prices are very high. Therefore, although there are many people watching, most people shake their heads and leave after hearing the price.
Lao Li didn't seem to be in a hurry. When someone came to see the goods, he negotiated with the person. When no one was watching the goods, he chatted casually with Lu Yang. Lu Yang pretended to be a foreigner far away from here, so he took this opportunity to learn about some of the customs and habits of Muqiao Town and Lihua Village from Lao Li.
This world is not much different from the world where Lu Yang is. If there is a difference, it is that the types of actions are different. Moreover, the social development here is still very backward, probably the system of Chinese feudal society, but the country is not that big. According to Lao Li, the Crescent Country where they are now located is equivalent to the size of a province in China in that world.
While the two were chatting, two men walked to Lao Li's stall and said it was Long Bao's man and asked Lao Li for "protection fee". Lao Li took out the silver bag and gave them some money, but did not bargain. It seemed that this rule had been set a long time ago.
An hour passed, Lao Li sold two pieces of bear meat and collected a lot of money. Seeing his happy smile, Lu Yang knew that he must be very satisfied with the deal.
Lao Li and Lu Yang continued to chat, perhaps because they were too excited and turned their backs to the market entrance. Lao Li did not notice that dozens of people suddenly rushed in from the market.
After entering the market, these people immediately scattered. Two and three people came to the doors of each merchant in groups, claiming that the market now belongs to Jingwu and that the protection fee will be given to them Jingwu's people in the future.
One of them came to Lao Li's stall, reached out and picked up half of Lao Li's bear skin, saying that this was the protection fee that Lao Li gave to Jingwu.
Lu Yang recognized this little figure. He had visited Lao Li's stall wearing another piece of clothing. He was very interested in this half of the bear skin at that time. Now, taking advantage of Jingwu's opportunity to come in to collect protection fees, he wanted to force the half of the bear skin.
"This market has always been owned by Long Bao. We have paid Long Bao's protection fee just now. How could we pay another one?" Old Li reached out and grabbed the half of the bear skin. This was the most valuable thing he had harvested this time. How could he just pay it as a protection fee?
Dozens of people from Jingwu rushed into the market, obviously they wanted to rob it. Not only Lao Li, but also other merchants, there were some quarrels. It was obvious that the merchant paid Long Bao’s protection fee and was unwilling to pay the second protection fee.
The five people who were patrolling the market in Long Bao rushed over after hearing the dispute here, but they were no match for dozens of Jingwu. As soon as the five people appeared, they were beaten up by Jingwu who had been prepared. After a while, they were all beaten to the ground.
It seems that Jingwu is preparing to rob the Muqiao Town market.
After seeing Long Bao's man being knocked over, he became even more arrogant when he forced Lao Li to snatch half of the bear skin. He kicked Lao Li in the stomach. Lao Li screamed and stepped back to the ground. The little man took half of the bear skin and then went to snatch the bear bones in the street stall in front of Lao Li. It seemed that they were not here to collect protection fees at all, so they completely started to snatch them openly.
"Put down everything!" Lu Yang stepped on the bear bone and looked at the little man coldly.
Speaking of which, he had only known Lao Li for a day and could not have a relationship, but at least he lives in the old house of Lao Li's house. Lao Li was beaten in front of him, and it seemed a bit unreasonable if he didn't come out to take care of it. /《》/《》 full text txt download
"You don't want to live anymore, do you dare to mess with us Jingwu people?" Although the little guy was a little afraid of Lu Yang, they were in a group operation this time, so they were not showing weakness in words.
"Speak again, put down the things!" Lu Yang's two fists with a sizeable mouth were already gathered up.
The little girl was obviously fearless and didn't take Lu Yang's words seriously at all. Instead, she kicked Lu Yang with her feet on the leg of the bear bone...
How could Lu Yang let him succeed? With his feet, an old punch was already smashed out, hitting the small head hard on the face of the small head, and directly knocked the small head away. After the small head landed on the ground, he didn't move at all. Obviously, he was seriously injured even if he didn't die.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Old Li hurriedly put away the stall and pulled Lu Yang to escape from the market in the chaos. However, unexpectedly, the fight here had already attracted the attention of others of Jingwu. Two strong men immediately moved here, blocking the way for Old Li and Lu Yang.
"Dare to hurt our Jingwu people? I don't want to live anymore! Put down the goods and kneel down and surrender! Otherwise, you will die without a place to die!" One of the two strong men pointed at Lu Yang's nose and threatened Lu Yang for a few words.
Lu Yang was not talking nonsense. His body suddenly faded and he punched the strong man directly to the chest of the ribs. He only heard a "cracking" sound of a broken rib. The strong man who threatened Lu Yang had his heart broken by his broken ribs and died instantly.
Another strong man found something wrong, pulled out a machete more than one foot long from behind, and suddenly slashed at Lu Yang...
Lu Yang's body changed, and he easily avoided the knife and approached the strong man with the knife. He took advantage of the moment when the strong man slashed out with a knife and froze, and punched the side of his neck. This punch hit the strong man's cervical spine, directly hitting several of his cervical vertebrae in the wrong position. The nerves protected in the spine were broken, and the strong man fell to the ground without saying a word. Even if he was not dead, he would have been paraplegic at a high position for the rest of his life.
Lu Yang put away the machete from the strong man's hand, and continued to rush towards the market entrance with Lao Li, and quickly took action to destroy Jingwu and others, just to protect the safety of himself and Lao Li. Lu Yang did not have the intention of fighting, and there was no need to expose his strength too much in this place.
However, Lu Yang didn't know that the two strong men just now were of a relatively high status among the dozens of people who came to smash the scene. They were killed by Lu Yang in an instant, causing the other Jingwu people to focus on Lu Yang. They whistled and secretly sent messages, rushed up, surrounding Lu Yang and Lao Li.
Muqiao Town belongs to Long Bao's sphere of influence, but half a month ago, Jingwu came a mysterious woman, replaced the former president of Jingwu and became the new president of Jingwu. Since then, Jingwu has emerged and his strength has quickly caught up with Long Bao. In the past few days, he has begun to seize Long Bao's original territory. Unexpectedly, he arrived in Muqiao Town so soon.
The mysterious woman Lao Li mentioned made Lu Yang immediately think of the wizard who entered this world like him...
If it weren't for the wise man, it would be unlikely that a guild, which was originally behind, would suddenly rise and challenge the guild with the greatest power in just half a month.
If it weren't for the incident today, if it weren't for the incident that happened in Lu Yang and accidentally took action, it would probably be that the "protection right" of Muqiao Town market would have fallen into Jingwu's hands.
After hearing what Lao Li said, he analyzed that there might be another wizard, and he accidentally made enemies with her, and Lu Yang's heart suddenly sank...
It seems that it is better to be low-key. Once you can't help but suddenly make a high-profile statement, you will accidentally expose yourself to your opponent. This is not a good thing.
"It's getting late. After drinking, just have a good sleep. Xiaohua has already tidied up the room." After dinner, Lao Li saw that Lu Yang was in a bad mood, so he advised him.
"It's not completely dark yet... I want to walk around the village." Lu Yang was not sleepy at the moment. He had a bad premonition. If things happened today, it would alarm Jingwu's new female president. She should be able to guess his identity easily. If things happened today, someone would come to cause trouble.
This world seems to be still in the era of cold weapons. For ordinary people in this world, Lu Yang has nothing to worry about, but if the new president of Jingwu is really a wizard, the problem is not that simple.
Therefore, Lu Yang must make some preparations, at least become familiar with the terrain near Lihua Village. In this way, once the other party comes, it is easy to react in time. Even if he doesn't want to fight and chooses to escape, he must find a way to escape as soon as possible.
"You are not familiar with the terrain here, so I'll let Xiaohua take you around." Old Li mentioned it to Lu Yang.
"this……"
Lu Yang was about to say something, but Old Li had already called Li Xiaohua over and told her to take Lu Yang around. He also told her that Lu Yang was a distinguished guest at home and that he must treat him well.
Of course, Xiaohua listened to Lao Li's words and would look at Lu Yang from time to time. Her expression seemed a little shy, but she still had a little excitement that could not be concealed.
...
Lihua Village is not big, and the nearby terrain is not complicated. One side is against a hill, and the other three sides are plains. Of course, there is also a river passing by the village.
Now is the season when pear blossoms bloom. Of course, this pear blossom is not the pear blossoms in Luyang's world, but just a weird system of translation based on Luyang's feelings.
The hills are full of these white pear blossoms, with beautiful mountains and waters, and with an 18-year-old girl by her side, Lu Yang is naturally in a good mood.
But before the two climbed the hill, the sky was already dark... Maybe they felt that Lu Yang was not very like a bad person, and Lao Li always praised him, so Li Xiaohua was not afraid of staying with Lu Yang after it was dark. Instead, she suggested taking Lu Yang to the top of the hill to see the stars.
Lu Yang did not refuse, and followed Li Xiaohua to the hill. After staying in this world for a few days, Lu Yang already knew that although there were often two suns during the day, there was no moon at night, so the sky was particularly dark. Lu Yang originally thought that it would be very dark on the hill, but unexpectedly, there were many fluorescent rocks on the hill. After absorbing the sun during the day, the night shone brightly, just like a street light, making the hill not as dark as imagined.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the two of them naturally looked at the stars bored. Even if Lu Yang wanted to do something else now, it was too abrupt when Li Xiaohua didn't show anything, so he could only continue to sit on the grass on the top of the mountain and watch the stars with Li Xiaohua while saying some nonsense.
"Let's climb to the top of that big tree... I heard... on the top of that tree, you can hear the stars talking..." Li Xiaohua suggested to Lu Yang.
In the past, she often climbed up to the top of the tree during the day, but never climbed at night because she had heard a legend in the village that when she climbed to the top of the tree at night, she would hear the stars talking.
If you hear Xingxing speak, you can ask Xingxing about your destiny... about love, but there is only one chance.
Li Xiaohua was not mentally prepared for this before, so she never thought about climbing this big tree at night.
But today...
Of course, Lu Yang didn't know this legend, nor did he believe that the stars could speak nonsense. However, the tree Li Xiaohua mentioned was the tallest tree on the mountain. The place where Lu Yang stood now was not in a good view. After climbing up the tree, his vision became much wider. It was a good place to observe the nearby terrain during the day.
In addition, there was an eighteen-year-old girl to be her companion, so Lu Yang certainly would not refuse and followed Li Xiaohua and climbed up the big tree.
Li Xiaohua is above and Lu Yang is below. With the light of the fluorescent rocks on the top of the mountain, Lu Yang looked up and could clearly see Li Xiaohua's tight butt on the cotton cloth, which was very elastic, which made him, a guy who was prone to sperm and brains, and couldn't help but feel a little imaginative.
Of course, I just think about it. A kind person like Lu Yang will not just reach out to touch him without permission. At most, I just look at him more than a few more glances.
Li Xiaohua was born into a hunter, and climbing trees was one of her most common entertainment activities, so she quickly climbed onto a branch on the top of the tree and sat down. She was very agile, but it was not difficult for Lu Yang to follow her. After a short while, the two of them climbed onto the top of the tree together.
This tree is quite different from the trees Lu Yang saw in his world. There are thick branches on the top of the tree, just like a platform, and the leaves grow under the branches. So after the two of them sat on the "platform" on the top of the tree, their vision was very good, and they didn't have to worry about being blocked by the leaves or anything like that.
