Seven-star Sword Master
Chapter 157 The calm before the storm
A new day began, and the Lu family, father and son, rushed to the patrol camp together.
In order to speed up the autumn harvest, the village decided to let the villagers go out of the village with the team members.
Before leaving, Lu Feipeng specifically warned his family to conceal the news that his eldest brother had broken through to the Spirit Induction Realm.
He also told them clearly that he would probably leave the village for Ningtai Township in the next few days.
After he left home, he felt more at ease knowing that his elder brother was guarding the house.
Li Hongying agreed with Lu Feipeng's words very much, but Lu Changxing, a man who had been honest and dull all his life, seemed to have some concerns in his heart and hesitated at this moment.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, his mother Li Hongying complained and made Lu Changxing give up the idea.
This is what my mother said, the original words are as follows:
"Boss, you damned bastard, don't you really feel sorry for your son at all?
Fei Peng has already joined the patrol team, and will be heading to Ningtai Township to take up his post;
It's dozens of times more dangerous there than in the village, and it's still unknown whether my son can protect himself.
Are you really so cruel as to send your other son to the patrol team as well?
You bastard, I'm going to fight you."
In short, under A Niang's unreasonable crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide, Lu Changxing had no choice but to agree with a helpless look on his face.
Lu Feixue is a bit difficult to deal with, after all, it is difficult to prevent him from showing off to others.
However, under Lu Feipeng's persuasion, Lu Feixue promised him that she would try her best not to tell anyone.
In Lu Feipeng's opinion, his elder brother's guarantee was somewhat unreliable, but it should be fine in the short term. After all, no one could predict what would happen in the future.
At the patrol camp, after the handover, a team of one or two hundred villagers, each of whom was either holding a sickle or carrying a shoulder pole, marched out of the village in a mighty procession under the escort of the patrol team.
After safely escorting the villagers to the rice fields that needed to be harvested, the team members on duty returned to their respective bases.
After arriving at the rice field, under the leadership of Chen Dongsheng, several monks kept throwing stones, bricks and tiles into the rice field.
This is done to test whether there are any monsters or demons lingering in the rice.
If there really is a demon lingering there, then when the villagers go to farm, they will surely encounter unexpected events. The bloody scene is simply unimaginable, and it is horrifying to think about it.
This move is called: alerting the enemy.
After the villagers went to work in the fields, the village head Wang Qingping left. Next, he had to go back to the village to make breakfast for these people.
Preparing meals for one or two hundred people is not an easy task.
Therefore, as the village chief, Wang Qingping had to go back and keep an eye on things to prevent any further problems from happening.
He is also responsible for escorting the prepared meals over.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. If one or two hundred people go to a rice field, it won't take long for the whole field to be harvested.
After the people in front finished harvesting, the people behind immediately picked them up and tied them up in piles.
However, as it was still early in the morning and for fear of any danger, the bundled rice fields were not directly transported back to the village by ox cart.
Instead, they are piled up on the spot and transported together after it is completely light. Anyway, the rice from whose rice field it is piled in whose rice field, and there will be no trouble between households.
The group was busy in full swing, and Lu Feipeng even glanced at his eldest brother.
It was discovered that he was much stronger and more energetic today than yesterday. It was obvious that his physical fitness had been significantly improved after being promoted to the Spirit Induction Realm.
Not long after Wang Qingping left, Lu Feipeng found Chen Dongsheng and said to him:
"Uncle Dongsheng, we just started our shift. I'm going to go on patrol with Doufei first."
Chen Dongsheng thought for a moment, then smiled at Lu Feipeng and Dou Fei and said:
"Well, Fei Peng, you can go without worry. I and the two old men are watching here, so nothing will go wrong for a while. But you have to go and come back quickly."
So the two of them began their first patrol of the day. If nothing unexpected happened, this would also be the only patrol of the day, after all, the villagers needed their protection.
Not to mention that their parents are among them, just these one or two hundred people are not something they can treat carelessly.
On the other side, after escorting the villagers to the rice fields, Chen Ming and his partner headed towards their patrol post.
After returning to the base, the two walked in the open area and circled the base as usual.
After carefully observing the rice fields and finding nothing unusual, the two men returned to where they usually stayed.
Before long, the topic of their conversation unconsciously turned to Doufei.
I only heard his partner say with envy:
"Er Ming, you are so enviable. You have a brother who is the vice captain. I will enjoy the happiness with you in the future."
"Hahaha…"
Chen Ming let out a smug laugh, and then said complacently:
"Don't worry, Lao Liu. If anything happens, Dou Fei will definitely take care of us two brothers first."
"Hey!"
Old Liu sighed, then looked towards the rice fields and said with great confidence:
"Er Ming, I really envy Dou Fei from the bottom of my heart. I envy him for being able to become the immortal cultivator I always dreamed of."
At this point, Old Liu turned to look at Chen Ming, his eyes revealing a complex and yearning expression, like a child craving for candy, and continued:
"If I could also practice and become an immortal cultivator, what a wonderful thing that would be!"
"Who said it wasn't?"
Not only Lao Liu thought so, but Chen Ming also had the same idea.
After all, who doesn’t want to be a monk respected by everyone?
"Swish..."
Just as the two were feeling overwhelmed with emotion, they heard rustling sounds coming from the rice fields in the distance.
"Ok?"
When they heard the sound, they immediately looked towards the source of the sound.
In the rice fields in the distance, there was a field of rice swaying like leaves blown by the wind.
"move back!"
The two looked at each other and said at the same time.
As they spoke, both of them subconsciously stepped back.
They didn't stop until they had retreated more than ten feet away and reached a relatively safe area.
While his body was retreating, Chen Ming had already taken out a flare.
Just as they were about to light the flare, a very familiar voice came to their ears.
"What happened?"
When they first heard it, the voice was still some distance away from them, but when the voice fell, the owner of the voice had already come close to them.
"what!"
The two were startled by the sudden voice, but when they came to their senses and heard clearly who made the voice, they felt like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
At this moment, the two of them had a feeling that happiness came too suddenly.
Turning their heads to look behind them, they found that Lu Feipeng was already standing less than three feet away from them.
And behind Lu Feipeng, there was another person running towards here at a rapid speed.
It turned out that Lu Feipeng and his men were on patrol, and they happened to come to Chen Ming's stronghold during the patrol.
From a distance, Lu Feipeng had already noticed something strange about Chen Ming and the others. Lu Feipeng left a message for Dou Fei to follow him, and then he quickly rushed over here.
So they had the scene they just saw, where Dou Fei was chasing Lu Feipeng from behind.
Seeing that Lu Feipeng and Lao San were here, Chen Ming immediately became bolder. He pointed to the rice fields in the distance and said to Lu Feipeng:
"It seems Fei Peng has encountered something unclean here."
Looking in the direction Chen Ming pointed, they soon found a field of rustling rice.
Lu Feipeng, who has now broken through to the Spirit Liquid Realm, is considered to be a man of great skill and courage. He walked straight forward.
After approaching the rice field, I used the old method to alert the snake, and it turned out to be another demon rat.
The next thing was easy. Lu Feipeng crossed his arms over his chest and watched with great interest how Dou Fei killed the magic rat.
After burning the body of the demon rat to ashes, Dou Fei chatted with Chen Mingxiao for a few words and then left.
After all, the focus of the work at this time is on the villagers. After patrolling all the strongholds, they returned to the villagers.
After a while, under the leadership of Wang Qingping, several food carts pulled by ox carts were delivered.
After breakfast, we took a short rest and then continued to work.
By this time it was already bright, and Wang Qingping was responsible for transporting the rice back to the village by ox cart.
Wang Qingping is destined to be busy today because he has to run back and forth all the time.
In such a busy manner, a day passed by.
But what surprised Lu Feipeng was that, apart from the fact that he happened to encounter a magic rat at Chen Ming's place today, he was not harassed by any magic rats at other times. You should know that he had encountered at least three to five magic rats every day before.
"This is not normal!"
As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong!
Lu Feipeng, standing in front of the Forbidden Demon Gate, turned his head and looked outside the village with a worried look on his face.
"What are you looking at, Fei Peng?"
Dou Fei, who was standing by, noticed Lu Feipeng's abnormality at the first moment.
Lu Feipeng looked at Dou Fei and said with a smile:
"Nothing funny, I'm just taking a look."
Finally, he added silently in his heart:
"I hope I'm just overthinking..."
Today, two-thirds of the rice outside the village has been harvested. I believe that by tomorrow, all the rice will have been harvested.
By that time the rice fields were empty and one could see far away at a glance, so they didn't have to patrol so hard.
After the rice is harvested, there will be no rice in the rice fields, and the magic rats will naturally leave and go to other places to find food.
However, less than ten miles away from Sanjia Village, on a big tree there was a huge bird about ten feet long, with both feet being three feet long.
This big bird is colorful all over, and only its pair of silver wings are particularly eye-catching.
The big bird looked towards Sanjia Village with an eagle-like gaze.
