Everyone wants to survive, the left eye detects and the right eye kills

At three o'clock, Fang Tian entered the living room, pulled the workers over, and walked directly into the territorial town.

Now the population of the town has reached nearly 400 people, and many craftsmen and craftsmen have begun to appear.

These people can bring more tax revenue to Fang Tian, ​​but since it increases every day, Fang Tian does not count it carefully.

Seeing Fang Tian coming, the guard at the town entrance immediately called Ali over.

After Fang Tian's instruction, Ali began to train ordinary villagers and expand the guard team. At this time, the number of the guard team was close to 100.

Although it is outrageous to equip 400 villagers with 100 guards, Fang Tian needs them to help protect the workers, and the number of boss monsters in the territory is increasing, so the stronger the guards, the better.

After this period of training, nearly 10 people have reached the level of lord monster.

After some questioning, Fang Tian brought five lord-level guards, including Ali, and asked them to follow him to participate in the main mission of the Pavilion of Sorrow.

[唔唔唔唔~We’ve arrived at the Sorrowful Pavilion Station. The doors have been opened. Passengers who get on the train are asked to purchase tickets consciously. 】

[唔唔唔唔, the vehicle is faulty. The estimated maintenance time is one hour. Operations will be stopped. Please transfer to other vehicles! 】

Fang Tian got out of the car after equipping his umbrella and rain boots, followed closely by the guards.

As NPCs, they will not be harmed by blood rain.

After getting off the car and walking straight for 100 steps, his eyes suddenly lit up. The rain of blood turned into ordinary rain, and Fang Tian appeared in a wilderness.

There is a dilapidated pavilion directly in front, with three big characters written on the plaque - Sorrow Pavilion. Someone seems to be hiding from the rain inside.

When Fang Tian got closer, he found an old woman carrying a bamboo basket inside, covering her legs and moaning.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Fang Tian walked over.

The old woman turned around when she heard the voice.

The old woman was soaked to the skin, her face was wrinkled, and she looked miserable.

Fang Tian smiled and said, "I'm just passing by. Grandma, are you injured?"

The old woman nodded: "I was just collecting some food from the vegetable field. I didn't want to rain anymore. I hurried back to take shelter from the rain and fell."

Fang Tian hurriedly stepped forward, checked the wound, and helped her apply medicine and bandage.

The old woman's face was filled with emotion and she thanked her repeatedly.

After bandaging, Fang Tian asked: "Grandma, can I take you home?"

The old woman waved her hand: "Thank you, good boy. I can go back by myself when the rain stops. You should leave quickly. It's not peaceful around here. There are many robbers!"

Fang Tian smiled and pointed at the guards behind him: "It's okay, grandma, I have bodyguards."

The old woman clicked her tongue a few times: "What do these people do? The bandits here are so powerful! The government can't do anything to them, so you'd better leave! Good child, I accept your kindness, but don't do it for me. Risk this old bone.”

Of course, it is impossible for Fang Tian to really leave. Even if it has nothing to do with the mission, Fang Tian cannot leave this kind old woman who is soaked all over.

After repeated insistence, the old woman finally couldn't defeat him and gave Fang Tian the direction to go home.

Fang Tian took off the old woman's bamboo basket and took a look. It was filled with potatoes.

Let one of the guards carry her on his back, while the other person holds the umbrella for him. Fang Tian himself and Ali escort her in tandem.

The journey went very smoothly, and there were no robbers as expected.

Not far away, the rain stopped.

Not far ahead, you can see the village where the old woman lives. The village is not big, with only about ten households. There are also many farmland and vegetable fields outside the village.

Fang Tian was a little strange and asked: "Old lady, isn't there a vegetable patch here? Why is your vegetable plot so far away?"

The old woman sighed: "It's hard to explain in words. When I get home, I will tell you in detail..."

After entering the village, the villagers saw him and immediately gathered around him.

After sending the old woman all the way into her small courtyard, the old woman struggled to move some broken wooden blocks and asked Fang Tian and others to sit down.

The clothes of these villagers are all very shabby. They are all old people and children with sallow faces and thin muscles. They seem to have no prime labor force, and their faces are full of sorrow.

However, the relationship between the villagers seemed to be good. After hearing what the old woman told Fang Tian, ​​they all came up to thank Fang Tian.

Fang Tian, ​​on the other hand, asked again about the situation in the village.

Under the chatter of the villagers, Fang Tian also roughly understood the background of the mission.

It turned out that there was a group of bandits in the east of the village who often came to rob the village, and the village reported it to the government.

But these bandits were so powerful that the government sent people several times but could not eradicate the banditry.

Moreover, the incident of reporting to the official angered the bandits. On a rainy night, the bandits attacked in full force and kidnapped all the young people in the village. After that, they would come to rob and extort every once in a while.

Therefore, in order to survive, the villagers had to cultivate other fields far away from the village to avoid starving to death.

Hearing this, Fang Tian immediately understood that it seemed to be a bandit suppression mission.

Ali suddenly asked: "Then why don't you move away?"

The old woman sighed: "Where can we move, old and young? Besides, our children are in the hands of bandits. If we move away privately, they will definitely die."

Fang Tian suddenly understood. It seemed that there was still a mission to rescue the hostages.

"Don't worry, we will rescue people and then take you away."

The villagers came to stop them one after another, and the old woman held Fang Tian tightly and said tremblingly: "Young man, don't be so vain. There are so many people in the government who can't annihilate them. It's just you who can't do it! You better hurry up." Leave now, don’t let you get caught up with me!”

At this moment, an old man suddenly said: "Those bandits said that as long as 1000 spiritual stones are prepared for them, they will agree to let him go. Young man, can you lend it to us, and we will find a way to pay you back!"

The old woman immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, who can get so much money? Young man, please leave quickly and don't worry about us..."

Fang Tian touched his chin and suddenly felt interesting.

It seems there is more than one way to accomplish the task.

1000 spirit stones is a big sum to others, but it is nothing to him.

However, if you use this method to complete the task, the reward may not be high, so let’s use it as an alternative plan first.

As of now, this quest gives two ways to complete it.

One is to save people, and the other is to save money and avoid disasters.

Of course, there is another obvious way to hide, which is to kill all the robbers and completely relieve your worries.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Tian smiled and said: "I have 1000 spirit stones. Let's do this. I will negotiate with the robbers and redeem the people first."

The old woman was happy at first, then hesitated, her lips trembling slightly: "But...but...such a huge sum, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay it back in our lifetime..."

Fang Tian waved his hand: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you still don't understand. Just treat him like a grandson."

With that said, he waved goodbye to the villagers.

As soon as they walked out of the village, there was a shout from behind.

Fang Tian looked back and saw that it was the trembling old woman. She warned with concern: "Young man, remember to be polite when talking to those robbers, and don't offend them. Also, remember the wealth." Don't show off, don't look too rich. Just say that we mortgaged the house and raised the money for you..."

Under the slightly nagging instructions of the old woman, Fang Tian sighed quietly and left quickly.
