C723 The Villagers' Misunderstanding
Tang Ling'er could not hold it in any longer. The sulky feeling in her heart burst out in an instant. She roared furiously. "What exactly happened to them? Why are they treating us like this?"
Lin Lang shook his head. "There must be a reason behind this. This is our first time here. How could those children recognize us? Those villagers might be the key. Let's go and ask them first!"
Wenn Yaen's face was full of panic and uneasiness. She asked in a dilemma, "Mr. Lin Lang, Did my ugly appearance scare these children?"
Lin Lang hurriedly came to the side of the panic-stricken Wenn Yaen and said with a helpless bitter smile, " Sister Wenn Yaen, you are wrong. They did not leave because of you. The children only felt fear when they saw the Long Sword on our backs. Don't think wrong. "
Wenn Yaen suddenly understood. After gaining enlightenment, she glanced at the children who were hiding nearby. Her gloomy expression gradually changed and her smile was like a flower.
A figure suddenly appeared in a tent. It was as if he was tidying up something. He quickly headed in the direction of Lin Lang and the others.
"Xiang Zhuang, if you want to solve our doubts, can't you just call someone to ask? Look, there seems to be a villager coming out from there. This fellow must know the reason behind this. We can just pry it open from his mouth and stop letting your imagination run wild here!"
A middle-aged man came to Lin Lang and the others' side. He knelt down immediately ten meters away from Lin Lang and the others. His hands were on the ground, and he was kowtowing three times and nine times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The middle-aged man kowtowed several times. He was trembling as if he had encountered a terrifying existence that could take away his life at any time.
The middle-aged man looked at the sparkling swords on Lin Lang and the other three men, and his eyes were filled with endless fear. He took three steps back and said with a miserable face, "Good men. Please spare us. These days. . . We have contributed a lot of food, and now the children are starving. If you eat one meal less, how can you take out food to worship you? Right now, everyone is tightening their pants and staring with their eyes wide open. It was not easy for us to get such a small amount of food, please spare us. We really don't have any food to worship a few good men! "
Murong Dashan saw that the middle-aged man almost treated them as criminals and scolded angrily, "Nonsense. This is the first time we have come here. When did we take your food? You are really shameless. What right do you have to slander us?"
"Senior brother, calm down. Maybe there is a misunderstanding here. Why don't we listen to him first?"
Lin Lang immediately stopped Murong Dashan from hitting the villager because of his anger.
Tang Ling'er's eyes flashed with a cold light as she stared at the villager in front of her with a puzzled expression.
Murong Dashan curled his lips and said anxiously, "Tell me, what happened to you all? Don't misunderstand us. I, Murong Dashan, am an upright and upright person. I am not one of those hoodlums who have committed crimes. How can you frame us like this?"
Tang Ling'er gritted her teeth and a cold light flashed in her eyes. She said, "Senior brother, there is no need to ask anymore. It seems like the truth has been revealed. I'm afraid that they have really met the thief. If it wasn't for the few of us who happened to meet them today, if the thief really came, I'm afraid that they would have been robbed clean. "
Lin Lang nodded in agreement and asked the villager warmly, "If the thief dares to come again, we have to help them. It is not easy for the villagers to get their food. "
The middle-aged man's face turned pale. Green, white, red ears, a chill down his spine, and he just felt like he was shaking in the gates of hell.
Seeing the dignified faces of these four people, other than one of the women who looked as if she had been disfigured, the other three were all upright. They mustered up their courage and boldly said something. "I wonder where these good men came from?"
Murong Dashan said with a solemn face, "We are from the Crouching Tiger Sect. I wonder if you have heard of us? That is one of the most prestigious sects on the floating island. Why would they do such dirty things? Don't misunderstand us!"
The middle-aged man asked doubtfully, "Didn't the Crouching Tiger Sect already be destroyed by the natural disasters?"
Murong Dashan's face was solemn as he said solemnly," The Crouching Tiger Sect wasn't destroyed before. It was only temporarily letting the disciples find their own way out. Only us disciples are still alive in the world. The Crouching Tiger Sect will never be destroyed! "
Lin Lang nodded and said in a low voice, "If that thief really dares to invade you, you can rest assured. My senior brother has always upheld the principle of eliminating the bullies and helping the weak. He will never sit by and do nothing. You can just hand this matter over to him. "
The middle-aged man's face suddenly lit up. He was about to say something when. . . However, a trace of gloominess suddenly flashed across his eyes. He waved his hand helplessly. Sighing, he shook his head and said: "If you are really people of justice. . . Why drag you into this? Those fellows are extremely ruthless. How can you kids fight against them? Forget it. Their influence is too strong. You'd better leave quickly! "
Looking at the middle-aged man's expression, Lin Lang knew that he wasn't faking it. The man claimed that he was doing this for their own good, but his intention was obvious. He just didn't say it out loud.
It was as if he was saying, "It will be extremely difficult for this three-legged cat to fight them!"
When he thought that the man was a kind person, Lin Lang thought of pulling out his knife to help him. He said directly, "Don't worry. As long as you can say something, you don't have to worry about us being weak. At most, we will sacrifice our lives. We will make the decision for you!"
The middle-aged man looked around sneakily. A golden light flickered in his eyes. Lin Lang was puzzled. Then, he gave Murong Dashan a look. Murong Dashan shouted with a stern voice, "What are you looking at? Just tell me. Who is monitoring us here? Why are you so panicked?"
The middle-aged man fell to the ground and said, "You are all good men. You really don't know how I feel. You are terrified and uneasy! Those who dare to oppose them are all already dead!"
Lin Lang said in surprise, "Who are they referring to?"0
" Forget it. I will tell you the truth. Originally, there were no martial artists here. It's just that although those martial artists were not strong, they were not the ones bullying the weak. They never asked us to pay the food. They only asked us to help them investigate those evil people and drive them out to avoid losing their property. "
