"You bastards, are you bandits still human? You actually want to take women and children away to make rice?"
The bearded man cursed angrily and waved the steel knife in his hand.
Don't mention it.
This big man's swordsmanship is superb.
Amidst the flying swords, several bandits were chopped down on the spot.
"This is a martial arts master!"
After seeing the bearded man's superb swordsmanship, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He has always wanted to practice martial arts and become stronger!
What to do.
Apart from the Qi-inducing technique of the Changqing Gong, Lu Fan knew nothing about any other moves.
Now he only had strength but no fighting experience at all, so after seeing the bearded man's swordsmanship, he couldn't help but be fascinated.
Besides, those bandits...
Although there were many of them, they were no match for the bearded man.
Soon, the dozen or so bandits became the dead souls under the knife of the bearded man.
But the bearded man was also stabbed twice.
After the bearded man dealt with the bandits, he walked to the prison van behind him, swung his steel knife, and with a click, the prison van was broken open.
"Don't be afraid, ladies! I'm here to save you."
As the bearded man spoke, he rescued the six trapped women.
After being rescued, several women knelt down before the bearded man and said in gratitude, "Thank you, benefactor, thank you..."
"My lady, please don't be so polite. As the saying goes, when we see injustice, we should draw our swords and help. This is what warriors like us should do."
The bearded man said proudly.
Hearing what the bearded man said, Lu Fan, who was hiding not far away, thought to himself: This man can be considered a chivalrous man.
Just when Lu Fan was thinking about it.
Fierce.
A knife shadow chopped off the thick tree where Lu Fanduo was hiding with a bang, and the tree was cut and broken with a sound.
"Thief, get out of here!"
With a loud shout, the bearded man jumped up and flew towards Lu Fan.
Lu Fan was startled.
He didn't expect that even though he hid so far away, he was still seen by this bearded man.
So.
He quickly ran out from the trees where he was hiding: "Good man... spare my life!"
When the bearded man saw that Lu Fan was so young and his clothes were not those of a bandit at all, he was slightly startled and said, "Boy, you are not a bandit?"
"I'm not..." Lu Fan quickly explained.
"If it's not him, then why are you hiding there secretly?" the bearded man said with his eyes wide open.
"I... just happened to be passing by."
Upon hearing this, the bearded man said, "You're lucky, little guy! If I hadn't held back just now, you would have been dead."
Finished.
The bearded man put away the steel knife with a "cang" sound.
Then, Chila tore off a piece of cloth from his body and began to bandage the wound on his arm.
"Benefactor, you are injured?"
A woman saw the bearded man treating the wound and couldn't help but express her concern.
"It's just a minor injury, no big deal! Bah! Blame it on me for not eating in a few days. Otherwise, how could I have been hurt by these little thieves?"
The bearded man cursed.
After simply bandaging the wound, the bearded man stood up and said.
"Alright, I've killed all those damn bandits! You can go now with peace of mind."
But who knows.
The women suddenly said, "My benefactor, please take us with you!"
"Take you with me? How can that be possible?" said the bearded man.
"Please, benefactor! We don't have any food left. Besides, those bandits want to catch us. Benefactor, if you don't take us with you, we will surely die." A woman in tattered clothes knelt and cried.
"Hey! It's not that I don't want to take you with me, but I don't have any food on me!" The bearded man sighed.
"My benefactor, why don't you take us to the nearby City God Temple? There might be something to eat there." A woman suddenly said.
"City God Temple?" The bearded man was stunned.
"Yes, benefactor! One of my fellow villagers told me there's a wealthy man in the nearby City God Temple! He also said that if we work honestly for him, we'll have something to eat! Benefactor, please, take us to the City God Temple."
Hearing the woman's words, the bearded man asked curiously, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, benefactor."
"However, I heard that the wealthy master of the City God Temple is very strict in recruiting people. He doesn't want ordinary people at all. But as long as you are recruited, you will have food and drink every day, and you don't have to worry about starving to death anymore!"
The bearded man pondered for a while after hearing this.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
But when he heard that there was food, the bearded man hesitated. After all, he hadn't eaten for several days.
"good!"
"Since you said so, then I will take you to the City God Temple to have a look! I want to see how strict the rich man of this City God Temple is in recruiting people!" said the bearded man.
"Thank you, benefactor. Thank you."
When the women heard that the bearded man really wanted to take them to the City God Temple, they all kowtowed in gratitude.
When Lu Fan heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart: I didn't expect that these people would actually go to join me?
"What are you going to do, little guy?"
Just as Lu Fan was thinking about it, the bearded man came over and said to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan groaned, looked up, and said, "How about I go to the City God Temple with you guys?"
"Tsk! You're quite smart, kid! Did you just hear that a rich man in the City God Temple gave you food, so you were tempted?" The bearded man said to Lu Fan with a look of contempt.
Lu Fan chuckled and took it as his agreement.
"Alright, alright! For my kindness, you can come with us!"
"But let me make it clear in advance that I can't guarantee that the crappy master from the City God Temple will be interested in you! What if, by some chance, he doesn't like you and doesn't give you food, then there's nothing I can do about it." said the bearded man.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Lu Fan said.
"Well, that's good, let's go."
that's all.
Led by a bearded man, a group of people started heading towards the City God Temple.
During the subsequent conversation, Lu Fan finally understood the origin and name of the bearded man in front of him.
The big man called himself: Dong Wu.
He is a ranger.
He said that he used to be a bodyguard and a centurion in the army. Later, because he offended a general in the army, he left the barracks and began to wander!
After hearing what he said, Lu Fan finally understood the situation.
"No wonder this person is so skilled, it turns out he is actually a martial arts master!"
While thinking this in his mind, Lu Fan led the way.
"Hey, brat, why are you always leading the way? Do you know how to get to the City God Temple?"
Dong Wu couldn't help but say when he saw Lu Fan leading the way.
Lu Fan turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have been to this City God Temple before."
"Really? Don't lead me astray, kid!" The bearded man obviously didn't believe Lu Fan.
"Yeah, trust me!"
that's all.
Lu Fan led the bearded man and his group towards the City God Temple.
Another half a quarter of an hour later.
Lu Fan brought them to the foot of the City God Temple.
Pointing to the towering wall faintly visible in the distance, he said, "See that? That's where the wealthy owner of the City God Temple lives!"
"Oh my god...you're really good! I didn't expect you actually knew where the City God Temple is?" Dong Wu couldn't help but say as he looked at the towering courtyard wall on the mountain.
"Haha, I told you I wouldn't lie to you." Lu Fan laughed.
