Chapter 18 Liujia Village in the Rain
Since entering October, the temperature has been dropping rapidly. The highest temperature on October 15th was below 10 degrees, and it was even colder at night. Liang Zifeng estimated that the lowest temperature was definitely below degrees.
So on October 11th, Liang Zifeng lit the stove on the first floor. The heat from the stove entered the fire wall and the kang through the passage. In about half an hour, the temperature inside the new house rose a lot.
It was at this time that the villagers believed what Liang Zifeng said about the role of the fire wall and kang. When the house was built, the villagers were very puzzled by the fire wall and kang designed by Liang Zifeng. Even after Liang Zifeng explained it to them, few people thought that thing was useful.
Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps because they wanted to see the effects of the fire wall and kang, many villagers came to visit the Liang family's new house in the days after October 11. They asked Liang Zifeng about building the fire wall and kang and what they needed to pay attention to.
After feeling the warm environment of the new house, most villagers started to build kangs when they returned home, not to mention fire walls. Thatched houses basically do not keep warm, so fire walls are of little use.
……
It is said that every autumn rain brings a chill, especially in late autumn like October.
On the night of October 16, the rain began to fall sparsely. In the second half of the night, lightning and thunder began to appear and the rain began to get heavier.
It should have been bright at around six o'clock, but the early morning of October 17 was a little gray. It had rained heavily all night and now it had just turned into a drizzle. But looking at the dark clouds in the sky, there was no telling when it would stop.
After practicing boxing, the three little guys from the Liang family hurried out to play regardless of the rain outside, and said they would not come back for lunch. Liang Zifeng didn't understand what was fun to do outside on such a rainy day.
Near noon, Liang Zifeng was sitting at the third-floor window watching the rain, holding a book bought from the market in his hand. He didn't know if it was because of the rain, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably irritable and always felt that something bad was going to happen.
In order to relieve his boredom, Liang Zifeng got up, changed into black clothes, and then flew away from the roof with a purple crystal dagger and a Tang sword.
He was flying slowly in the air towards Majiaji. The rain was sliding down around him more than one meter above him, as if there was an invisible ball above Liang Zifeng.
This was Liang Zifeng's first time flying in the rain. At this moment, he was about a hundred meters above the ground. Looking at the mountains below that seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, his originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.
If there weren't such thick clouds blocking his way, Liang Zifeng would have wanted to continue flying into the sky. But with the clouds blocking his way, he didn't dare to take the risk of flying through them.
Not to mention the terrible thunder and lightning, even the temperature in the clouds was not something Liang Zifeng could bear.
When Liang Zifeng flew over Liujia Village, he suddenly found flames rising into the sky below. It turned out that a thatched house was on fire, and many people gathered around the fire. It looked unusual.
After a moment, he understood through his mental power that Liujia Village had encountered bandits. Because it was a rainy day, there was no one patrolling outside in Liujia Village, which led to the village being wiped out by the bandits.
The family that was burned down was not actually from Liujia Village. They were unlucky enough to be used as an example to the bandits. Only a mother and daughter were left in the family of four.
The woman looked to be around 40 years old, and the girl was about or years old. Her face was covered in dirt and her hair was messy. She looked very unkempt, and her body was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her away.
Looking at the villagers who had been gathered together, each of them had an expression of fear and helplessness on their faces, and there was no trace of the aggressive look they had when they first met.
There are about 38 bandits in this group, 8 of them have internal energy, and the rest are ordinary people, at most a little stronger than ordinary people, but still ordinary people.
Liang Zifeng, who was floating in the air, frowned and wondered whether he should save Liujiacun. After all, they had no friendship, and he didn't want to take risks for irrelevant people.
Unfortunately, what happened next forced Liang Zifeng to take action. A young man walked out from among the villagers of Liujia Village. He bent over with a humble and servile look, and told the bandits about Yuanshan Village. He said that Yuanshan Village was richer than Liujia Village, and he was willing to lead the bandits, only asking him to join the bandits.
The young villager's words caused a commotion among the villagers. Almost everyone glared at him, but no one dared to scold him.
Now that he had decided to take action, he certainly couldn't do it from the sky, so Liang Zifeng landed in a hidden corner, lightly came behind a bandit on the periphery, covered the man's mouth with one hand, supported the man's chin with the other hand, and twisted it hard.
The neck was twisted with a crisp sound, which scared Liang Zifeng. Fortunately, it was a rainy day, and the blazing fire in the distance made crackling sounds from time to time, covering up the sounds here.
He did the same thing again, but was still discovered when dealing with the 18th bandit.
"Enemy attack!"
As a scream was heard, Liang Zifeng was surrounded by 10 bandits, 4 of whom possessed inner strength.
"Little brat?!" When the bandits saw Liang Zifeng's face clearly, they shouted in disbelief.
"Sir, sir, I know him. He is from Yuanshan Village. It is said that he had amnesia and recovered on his own. He also built a beautiful house in Yuanshan Village. Now he is the richest man in Yuanshan Village. It is estimated that he has several hundred taels of silver. Sir, don't let him run away." The villager from Liujia Village who betrayed Yuanshan Village ran over, pointed at Liang Zifeng, and spewed out all the information about Liang Zifeng.
"..."
After hearing this, the surrounding bandits looked at the villager, then at Liang Zifeng, all with suspicious expressions on their faces.
"Sir, I really didn't lie to you." The villager said anxiously and aggrievedly.
"Boss, this guy is too cruel. We lost 18 brothers." At this time, a bandit suddenly ran over, looked at Liang Zifeng with resentment, and then said to a bandit leader.
"What?!" The bandit leader was immediately upset when he heard that. He grabbed the bandit's collar and asked loudly, "Are you sure you saw that? They're all dead? 18 of them?!"
"Boss, I definitely didn't see it wrong. They all died by having their necks broken. There were a total of 18 of them. Woohoo, my brother was among them. Woohoo, boss, we must avenge our brothers."
"Hiss~" There was a sound of people gasping for breath all around, and then they took out their weapons and acted as if they were ready to eat Liang Zifeng.
