Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1491 The Bully Enters the Village to Collect Membership

After Niu Zi finished speaking, the expressions of the three men changed.

The old men in the village usually gather under the locust tree when they have nothing to do, but now that it's not busy with farming or mealtime, the area under the locust tree is deserted.

This suggests that something very likely happened in the village.

"Brother Chen, let's hurry up, I feel something's wrong."

“Indeed, Fat Tiger, go to the back of the horse, take the knife down, and let’s hurry back.”

Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger immediately dismounted and drew three broadswords from the back of the horse.

Then they mounted their horses again and the three of them rushed towards the village at top speed.

Chu Chen and his two companions were right; at this moment, Liexi Village was immersed in a deathly silence.

All the villagers were settled on the threshing ground in the middle of the thatched houses, their faces showing resentment and fear.

An elderly man with gray hair was pleading with a strong-looking man: "Brother Liu, take all of these. People in Liexi Village are really going to starve to death."

"Please, Boss Liu, have mercy and leave us some food."

Liu Yifa looked at the old man pleading in front of him with disdain.

Then, with a mocking look, he sized up the miserable old men squatting on the threshing floor: "If people are starving, then let's starve you old men to death first."

"Anyway, you guys have nothing to do all day, just gossiping under the big locust tree, you can't do any work."

"If you starve to death, we can come back next year and harvest more grain."

Hearing Liu Yifa's words, everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do. The seven or eight of them were all armed with weapons, and their physical condition was clearly better than that of these hardworking and malnourished farmers.

Another point is that they all knew in their hearts that this group of people were thugs from the town at the foot of the mountain.

They were ruthless robbers and thieves, and murder and arson were nothing to them. Faced with such a group of vicious criminals, they had no will to resist.

Chu Ba tightly protected Ugly Mother, and incidentally, his eyes glanced at Fatty Tiger's father, Big Fatty Tiger.

But seeing the evasive look in Big Fat Tiger's eyes, Chu Ba lowered his head again.

Village Chief Uncle Zhang pleaded with them to leave some food as rations for Liexi Village, mainly because he felt sorry for the children. Adults could dig up wild vegetables if they ran out of food, but the children couldn't.

"Lord Liu, it doesn't matter if we old men die, the main problem is those children. They have no food and can't survive."

Liu Yifa kicked Zhang Sanye in disgust: "Old man, if you keep yelling, I'll kill you today."

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the locust tree. Liu Yifa frowned in confusion, then seemed to suddenly realize something.

He immediately shouted to his men, "Damn it, the government troops are here! Get moving! How many are there? If it's just one or two, kill them!"

After saying that, he drew his knife and rushed toward the locust tree.

However, when they saw who it was, they breathed a long sigh of relief. They recognized the man; they had seen him last year when he came to collect grain.

The ugly woman's son, the fat guy, and the skinny young man.

"Haha, you're back just in time. It seems the three of you have made a fortune outside, and you're all riding horses."

Liu Yifa planted his long sword in front of him, looking at the three men with disdain.

Chu Chen dismounted, then pulled a strip of cloth from the horse's back and, in front of Liu Yifa, tightly wrapped the knife handle around his hand.

Seeing this, Fat Tiger and Niu Zi followed Chu Chen's example and began to wrap strips of cloth around their hands.

Liu Yifa was taken aback when he saw this, wondering what these three silly boys were up to.

After eating well for a few days, are you thinking of fighting to the death?

Then he pointed at Chu Chen and the others and said, "What do you think you're doing? You three little bastards, do you think you can mess with me?"

Chu Chen coldly looked at the seven or eight people in front of him. To be honest, he didn't take them seriously.

They simply didn't want to reveal their formidable military strength.

They had come before, but the villagers had long since developed the habit of hiding grain due to years of oppression.

Each time they came, they only found a little bit of leftover food.

Therefore, in previous years, Chu Chen was just a passerby, watching these idiots oppress the people. As soon as they left, the people of Liexi Village would bring the grain back from where it was stored.

But now that he even knows the emperor, why should he still hide his military power?

"Liu Yifa, you think I'm being too nice to you? You come every year and get a hundred or so catties of grain every year. Aren't you getting annoyed?"

"Today, I'll show you whether you'll still be this arrogant when you die."

Looking at Chu Chen's expression, Liu Yifa suddenly felt a little uneasy.

How did this seemingly unremarkable young man become so ruthless after just one trip?

Could it be that he had some opportunity outside, met some important person, and has a backup plan?

"Kids, the three of you dare to challenge me? Do you really think you're some kind of city lord just because you went out and put on some nice clothes?"

"If you know what's good for you, put down your knife and let me take the things and horses. I promise I won't hurt any of you."

"If you remain stubborn, I'll start by taking action against your ugly old mother."

Upon hearing Liu Yifa's words, Chu Chen was instantly enraged. Threatening him with his own mother—she really had a death wish.

"Boss Liu, you know there's one thing a person can't touch, and that's their Achilles' heel."

After saying that, Chu Chen immediately lunged at Liu Yifa with his knife in hand.

Seeing this, Fat Tiger and Ox also brandished their long knives and charged directly at Liu Yifa's men.

The villagers who were originally under control are now unattended because of Chu Chen and his group's return. Chu Ba gave Big Fat Tiger a wink.

Several young and middle-aged laborers in the village quietly got up, picked up hoes and other tools, and quietly went outside.

When they saw that Liu Yifa was facing Chu Chen and his two companions, they immediately raised their weapons and charged forward, yelling.

Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat when he saw his father leading his men out.

This is not a wise move.

He could take on seven or eight of them single-handedly and escape unscathed, even managing to turn the tables and kill them.

If Chu Ba and his group rush out with so many villagers, they might scatter the bandits. If two or three people can hold them off for even a little while, then the villagers might be harmed by the others.

"Dad, take your men and go back first. What are you all doing here?"

Chu Chen swung his knife at Liu Yifa while shouting at the villagers.

Liu Yifa immediately understood what Chu Chen was worried about: "Brothers, let's go kill a few villagers and show them!"
