Chapter 270: Not convinced, find Zhang Liuzhen

Pan Yun knew that Shuangyang Village had been massacred, but he didn't know it was so thorough.

Except for eleven people who were not in the village that day due to various reasons such as buying medicine or visiting relatives, the rest were dug out from the pile of corpses.

Four children were hidden in the straw, and two were hidden in the cowshed.

The old man survived because he was "dead" at that time.

After watching his children and grandchildren being killed, the old man was so exhausted that he fainted immediately.

But perhaps he was too worried. After the Japanese pirates left, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he found his great-grandson, who was still breathing, from the pile of corpses and dragged him out of the sea of ​​fire.

Oh, the child who was only about three years old and shouted that he was the leader of the Wulin Alliance was the old man’s great-grandson, so he was named Chen Shakou.

Because too many people died in the village, several young people couldn't stand it and left.

Those who stay can’t leave.

The old man said, "Only Chen Xiucai could leave but didn't. The others are either too young, too old, or have some ties here."

"Although we are not many, we need to eat as soon as we open our eyes in the morning. All the food in the village has been robbed. We have been relying on the support of the villagers for a meal of porridge a day, but we can't always rely on the villagers." The old man said, "We are all a burden to Mr. Chen. Miss, you can send us food. Our whole village is grateful to you."

Pan Yun: "The government doesn't care?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's the best thing for the government to do nothing. If they do, the houses and fields in this village will not be saved, and we...will not be saved either."

Pan Jun pursed her lips, feeling unhappy.

Tao Ji drove over with the children in his carriage. He stopped the carriage, walked into the yard and took a look. His eyes fell on Chen Xiucai, "This man is going to die of illness."

Chen Xiucai: ...

Pan Jun coughed lightly and said, "It's not that serious, right?"

Tao Ji: "You are a doctor, and I am a doctor?"

Pan Yun immediately said, "You are."

Pan Yun and Chen Xiucai introduced Tao Ji, "This is my senior brother. He practices the Dao of Alchemy and has some knowledge of Qi Huang. Chen Xiucai, let my senior brother take a look at you later."

"Let's see now. Everything has been delivered. Is there anything else I need to do?"

Pan Yun tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "That makes sense, Third Senior Brother, let the old man and the others take a look as well."

The three carts of things were not all for Shuangyang Village, there was also part for Huaihua Village.

Huaihua Village is not far from Shuangyang Village. You can see Huaihua Village from Shuangyang Village. It takes about quarters of an hour to walk there. Then you can get there in a quarter of an hour by crossing the fields and then running.

So Mr. Chen asked the two older children to run to Huaihua Village to call for help.

He said, "There aren't many people left in Huaihua Village, about the same as in our village."

After seeing the things in the car and the Taoist certificates given by Tao Ji and Xuan Miao, Chen Xiucai believed that they were just Taoists who came to do good deeds.

Perhaps it was because the news of the gangsters and Taoists joining forces with government soldiers to suppress bandits a few days ago had spread widely, which made the villagers have a deep filter towards them.

After learning that they were really Taoist priests, the three children who had old grudges against them also put aside their past grudges and came over to them, "Are you really Taoist priests?

Pan Jun nodded, "Really? I just didn't wear a Taoist robe today."

"Then do you know Taoist Sanzhu?"

Pan Yun nodded, "That's right."

"So, a Taoist priest's name can be repeated? Then can I also be called Sanzhu?"

"Then I'll call you Si Shui."

"I want to call Wuhuo."

"I'm different. I want to be the second most powerful mysterious wizard."

More and more children gathered around, and even the adults nearby couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen.

Pan Jun quickly stopped him, "Why is Master Xuanmiao the second most powerful?"

"Because the most powerful one is Taoist Sanzhu."

Pan Jun laughed awkwardly. In fact, no one knew who was more powerful between her and Xuan Miao.

In terms of cultivation, she should be above Xuanmiao, but when it comes to fighting...

Pan Jun always had a feeling that she couldn't beat Xuan Miao.

She just wanted to know who was spreading this discussion?
Pan Yun asked directly, "Who told you?"

"That's what people say outside. Taoist Sanzhu was so angry that he exploded the fireworks and then shot all the pirates to death."

"Also, and also, Taoist Sanzhu swung his sword and the Japanese pirates fell in a flash."

"It would have been nice if Taoist Sanzhu was here when our village was in trouble."

"Master Sanzhu avenged us. They all said that those knights and Taoist priests avenged us."

"Is it to avenge Uncle Chen and Taoist Priest Lu?"

From their chatter, Pan Yun learned that there was an uncle named Chen in this village who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was a gangster. He was at home at the time, and his friends happened to pass by and came to drink with him that day. One of them was a chivalrous man, and two were Taoist priests. The four of them had just drunk two jars of wine when the Japanese pirates entered the village.

It is also because of the presence of these four people that Shuangyang Village can accommodate so many people despite the vast wilderness.

The name Huaihua Village comes from a mountain behind the village.

The mountain was not very big, just two hills connected together, but the mountain was covered with dense trees. At that time, many villagers ran up the mountain holding their children, and only then did a group of people survive.

So the surviving adults and children in Huaihua Village were divided almost in half.

In Shuangyang Village, basically the entire village used its strength to protect the children. Almost all the adults in the village died, and those who did not die at the time were seriously injured and later died one after another from their injuries.

Xuanmiao and Tao Ji had indeed heard about the massacres in Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village and rushed over in anger to join the anti-bandit army.

but……

Xuanmiao said: "The Japanese pirates we wiped out this time are not the same group as the ones who massacred your village."

Pan Jun nodded repeatedly.

Xuanmiao: "We checked afterwards and found that the pirates went back to Japan directly after they left. We selected a group of pirates that harassed the coastal borders, but they had the support of the pirates behind them, and some people on the island were kept in the dark."

Pan Yun nodded fiercely, "So Sanzhu didn't avenge you."

The villagers were silent.

A village woman said in a hoarse voice: "But they are also pirates, aren't they?"

Xuanmiao: “Yes.”

"That's enough," she grabbed a little girl and said, "Nannan, remember, all the pirates are your enemies."

The little girl nodded seriously, "Enemy, I want to avenge my father, my grandparents, and my brothers and sisters!"

The village woman murmured: "I must take revenge, I must take revenge..."

She went to the kitchen while muttering, "I'll boil eggs for you. You helped us kill the pirates, you have to repay me..."

Another village woman wiped the tears from her eyes and followed her into the kitchen, whispering to her: "Don't always ask the children to take revenge. They are still young and have a long way to go in the future. Let them live their own lives."

"Revenge is not that easy. We can be uncomfortable, but we can't keep dragging them into this mud pit."

"I don't care, I want revenge, and they want revenge too!"

"Oh, okay, okay, I won't fight with you. I have to fill my stomach first before I can take revenge. I'll go get some rice to cook porridge."

Pan Yun heard this and said to the children, "That auntie is right. If you want to take revenge, you must first fill your stomach and learn skills."

"I want to learn skills like Taoist Sanzhu."

Pan Yun touched their arms and legs and said, "You will have to work very hard. Besides, it is not enough to just learn magic and martial arts. You also have to learn cultural knowledge."

"What's the point of learning that? Can it help kill the Japanese pirates?"

"Why not? Fighting against the Japanese pirates can also be called war. War requires the use of brains. There is a big difference between fighting with brains and fighting without brains."

"So I not only sent you food and clothes, but also books. The purpose is to let you read more and learn strategies to kill the enemy."

"Are there any martial arts secrets? We searched Uncle Chen's house but couldn't find any. We went to the escort agency to learn martial arts, but they refused to accept us."

Looking at their small arms and legs, Pan Yun felt that even if he were the head of the escort agency, he would not accept them.

Pan Jun searched in the spiritual space and reluctantly took out three handwritten martial arts secrets and a handwritten spell. She stroked them reluctantly and said, "I copied this from the Longhu Mountain Academy. I was going to give it to... Alas, now..."

She handed it to them with great pain, "I'll give it to you first. I'll copy it again when I get back to the academy."

The children's eyes lit up and they immediately reached out to take it, but they failed to pull it open after two attempts.

The older child pushed the younger one, and the younger one looked at Pan Yun with round eyes and said sweetly, "Sister, are you reluctant to part with it? Then let's not have it anymore, okay?"

Pan Jun saw how cute he was, and even after seeing their actions, her heart softened. She directly slapped the book into the child's arms, touched his head and said, "Here you go, take it."

The children cheered and left together with the child.

An adult immediately went to find them and said, "Hurry up and give me the book. I'll give it to Mr. Chen later. Don't damage it."

“We can keep it ourselves…”

Xuanmiao saw Pan Yun's distressed look and asked, "Don't you go to Fanxiyuan often? There are so many books there. If you like any book, just take it."

Pan Yun: "These three martial arts secret manuals were copied from Fanxiyuan. It would be bad to just take them. They are all books from the academy."

"Who told you that it was a book from the academy?"

Pan Yun's eyes widened, "Isn't it?"

Xuanmiao said expressionlessly, "Everything in Fanxiyuan belongs to Zhang Liuzhen. We collected the books one by one. If you like any of them, just tell him and he can take them directly."

Pan Yun opened his mouth wide and whispered, "But I heard that the academy will also store some things in Fanxiyuan..."

"That's the academy's problem. There have been rules since the founding of the Longhu Mountain academy. Fanxiyuan is the place for the heir of the Tianshi Mansion to study. Everything inside belongs to the heir. Not to mention storage, as long as the things are placed inside the door, they belong to him!"

Xuanmiao looked at her and said, "If you don't agree, tell them to go find Zhang Liuzhen."

　There is one more chapter to make up for yesterday's. It will be posted later. Everyone go to bed first.
