Chapter 122 Trouble
Boom ~

When spring turns to summer, the weather changes unpredictably. Suddenly, dark clouds gather in the night sky, and thunder and lightning appear.

When bean-sized raindrops fell on the roof of the land temple, another caravan came to stay overnight.

The number of people in this caravan was much larger than that of the escorts of Fuyuan Escort Company. There were men and women, young and old, making the originally spacious hall suddenly crowded.

Adults were calling out to children who were crying, and the noise was so deafening that the land temple was almost turned into a market.

Most of the travelers who came with the caravans were civilians, either in groups of three or five, or with their families, and there were even babies in swaddling clothes.

It’s hard not to be crowded and lively!

With no other options, Zhang Yuan could only pack up the campfire and move his luggage to the corner.

Give more space to these people.

Anyway, his dinner had already been prepared, so he might as well make do with it tonight and leave tomorrow morning. It was better to have less trouble than more.

However, someone took a fancy to the roasted rabbit Zhang Yuan was making and came over to offer money to buy it.

But Zhang Yuan refused.

Zhang Yuan was just being polite to Lin Zhenbei before.

In fact, let alone two wild rabbits, even ten can be eaten cleanly.

Just as he was drinking the fragrant chicken soup and eating the naan wrapped with grilled meat.

Suddenly I felt someone was watching me.

Zhang Yuan subconsciously turned his head and saw a little girl not far away holding dry food in both hands, looking at him eagerly.

To be precise, it was the food in his hand!

The little guy is about five or six years old, with two buns on his head and a chubby face, very cute.

She was leaning in the arms of a well-mannered man, and next to her was a gentle and beautiful young woman.

The gentle man and the young woman were talking in low voices and did not notice the little girl's actions.

At first glance, they are obviously a family of three.

But when Zhang Yuan looked over, the little girl immediately turned her head away and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

This guilty look made Zhang Yuan laugh.

As a result, the little girl buried her head in the arms of the weak man, humming.

The frail man reacted and said a few words of comfort without knowing why.

The little girl raised her head and looked at Zhang Yuan again.

The frail man noticed it and was stunned for a moment before reacting.

He thought for a moment, handed his daughter to the young woman next to him, then stood up and walked in front of Zhang Yuan, bowed and said, "Excuse me, young man, may I ask..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Zhang Yuan directly picked up a whole roasted rabbit and handed it over: "Here you go."

The frail man was a little confused. He never expected Zhang Yuan to be so easy to talk to.

He was caught off guard and hesitated for a moment before waking up from his dream. He quickly took out some silver from his pocket and said, "Thank you, young man!"

"You are welcome."

Zhang Yuan took the change handed over by the other party.

Of course Zhang Yuan doesn't need this little money, but there is no need to give it away for free.

In fact, he mainly considered that the little girl was cute, otherwise he would not have sold her to the other party.

The frail man finally felt relieved and happily took the greasy and fragrant roast rabbit back to share with his wife and daughter.

The little girl was very happy and ate the torn rabbit leg with great relish.

Zhang Yuan felt much happier seeing this.

The wind and rain outside are getting stronger.

The roar of thunder became louder and louder, and the strong wind carrying raindrops suddenly broke open the door of the land temple.

Those affected by the wind and rain quickly got up and prepared to close the temple door again.

boom!
As a result, the door had not been closed tightly yet, and a huge force suddenly came and violently knocked the temple door open again.

The people who were closing the door inside were caught off guard and immediately fell to the ground, screaming one after another! The movement from the door instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the temple.

I saw a dozen men in black suits coming in one after another.

Every one of them was wearing a cloak, and was fully armed with a sword and a bow on his back. They looked fierce and aggressive, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not good people!

The originally noisy and bustling hall suddenly became extremely quiet.

Many people showed expressions of fear.

"so many people?"

A sinister-looking man in black glanced around, his eyes lingered on the escorts from Fuyuan Escort Company for a moment, then he frowned and said, "Make some room."

As soon as he finished speaking, two men rushed forward and shouted, "Make way, everyone, make way!"

They mainly targeted the civilians who came with the caravan, who were all terrified and shrank to one side.

Even the family of three squeezed towards Zhang Yuan.

The guards in the caravan saw this and simply looked wary.

No obstruction or interference was made.

Soon a large space was vacated, and the men in black sat down in a dignified manner.

They took off their backpacks, took out their wine flasks and dry food, and ate and drank as if no one was around, talking and laughing loudly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that these ferocious monsters had no intention of resorting to violence.

However, these civilians did not dare to make any more noise, for fear of provoking these big guys and bringing trouble upon themselves.

They didn't even dare to hope that the caravan's guards would step forward.

Because everyone saw what the guards did just now.

Some people still pray silently to the God of Land in their hearts, hoping that everything will be safe and sound tonight.

However, the gods obviously would not respond to such prayers.

A man in black drank up the wine in the jug, apparently still not satisfied.

He did not ask his companions for anything, but instead looked around the crowd with bloodshot eyes.

Anyone caught by this guy's gaze felt a chill in their heart.

The man in black's eyes suddenly lit up.

He stood up impatiently and strode towards Zhang Yuan.

When the people standing in front saw this scene, they hurriedly dodged and made way for him.

The black-clad man's companions saw it all.

Not only did he not stop it, but he looked like he was enjoying the show!
However, the man in black was not going after Zhang Yuan. His real target was the weak man's wife.

"You're a pretty girl, come over and drink with us!"

The man in black smiled sinisterly, stretched out his big hand, and grabbed the gentle and beautiful young woman directly.

The young woman's face suddenly turned pale, and her husband hurriedly stood up to stop her: "What do you want to do?"

Snapped!
The man in black slapped the frail man to the ground.

Slap him to unconsciousness!
"Husband!"

The young woman was completely panicked and immediately threw herself on her husband and cried.

The little girl next to her was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

But she didn't know where she got the courage from, she cried and rushed towards the man in black: "Don't hit my daddy!"

The man in black grinned fiercely and raised his leg to kick the little girl away.

Many people in the hall looked as if they couldn't bear to watch, and the caravan guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

Some people were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to intervene, but they were stared at by the other men in black, and their courage immediately disappeared.

Lin Zhenbei, the head of Fuyuan Escort Company, held down a young escort with an angry look on his face and said in a deep voice, "Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Experience in the underworld: those who like to meddle in other people’s affairs always die the fastest.

So everyone watched helplessly as the man in black killed a little girl of only a few years old!
