Seven-star Sword Master

The fields outside the village are covered with rice fields.

"Fei Peng, let me first tell you the area we are going to patrol."

Li Mingshan pointed to the big tree next to him:

"See that sycamore tree? Start from there and go all the way to the creek on the other side."

Li Mingshan said, and pointed to the river on the other side:

"Let's go around the creek again. This is where we need to patrol."

Lu Feipeng hadn't discovered it before, but after Li Mingshan said this, he discovered it.

It turned out that the area he was patrolling was about an area of ​​about ten acres.

This area is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and there is only one road for people to walk on, the one he came from.

"Brother Mingshan, it seems that the location we are patrolling should be a good place."

Lu Feipeng was very satisfied with being assigned to this stronghold.

Li Mingshan smiled, looked at Lu Feipeng and nodded:

"Yes, this area is also very popular and sought-after among patrol teams."

Then he said:

"Fei Peng, do you know how many years I have been in the patrol team?"

Without waiting for Lu Feipeng to reply, Li Mingshan said:

“This year is my fourth year in the patrol. During these four years, both those who joined the patrol with me and those who joined later than me have joined.

Now that most of them are gone, do you know why I am still standing here unscathed?"

Hearing this, combined with what Li Mingshan had said before, Lu Feipeng immediately realized that all this might be related to the area he was patrolling.

"Brother Mingshan, do you mean it has something to do with this area?"

As he spoke, Lu Feipeng pointed to the rice field beside him.

“Haha… you guessed right, Fei Peng, all this is related to the area we are patrolling.

This is my fifth year patrolling here. If I say that I have never encountered a monster in these years, would you believe me?"

"Forehead!"

Lu Feipeng thought, "Is it so magical? It seems that Uncle Dongsheng really found a good place for me."

This guy sighed in his heart:

"It seems those silver coins were not wasted."

After thinking about this, this guy silently gave his father a thumbs up!

"Come on Fei Peng, I'll take you around the camp first."

Lu Feipeng walked beside Li Mingshan, and then he kept a distance of ten feet from Li Mingshan without saying a word.

His eyes kept looking around vigilantly.

The left hand holding the black iron knife was raised slightly.

His right hand kept the sword in hand at all times so that he could be ready to attack at the first moment if an accident occurred.

Compared with Lu Feipeng's high alert, Li Mingshan's vigilance was not as cautious as this guy.

It might be because he had been living in peace in this area for too long that he relaxed his vigilance. Lu Feipeng frowned when he saw this scene.

Although this area is more than ten acres in size, they don't have to patrol every place. They will not go anywhere they can see.

After walking around, Lu Feipeng noticed that there was an open space about two or three meters wide on the three sides of the rice field near the river. He didn't know what it was used for.

So Lu Feipeng pointed at that area and asked Li Mingshan:

"Brother Mingshan, why is there such a long open space beside the river?

If we plant rice fields here, won't we be able to harvest more rice in the fall?"

After hearing what Lu Feipeng asked, Li Mingshan explained for him:

"Fei Peng, you don't know that this open space is a safe location specially reserved by our patrol team."

"Look, if we reserve it like this, won't it be easy to see when we're on patrol?"

Lu Feipeng nodded and said truthfully:

“It’s true that you can see far at a glance, but if it’s to prevent the demons, then it’s not necessary.

It's really hard to find one or two demons sneaking into such a large rice field. If you're not careful, you really can't find them."

"Hahaha……"

After hearing what Lu Feipeng said, Li Mingshan laughed heartily and said:

“You may not know that some demons will run along the stream into the rice fields, and team members have often died as a result of this.

Later, a former captain discovered that accidents always happened here. After observing for a period of time, he finally discovered the abnormality here.

It turned out that monsters would often sneak into the rice fields from the creek, so the captain later reserved a piece of open space here.

This way, even if there is a monster attack, we can react quickly while on patrol and avoid being suddenly transformed into a monster and losing our lives."

"I see! No wonder such a piece of land was wasted. I never thought there was such a reason behind it."

"Hey, that's not right!"

After thinking about this, Lu Feipeng quickly looked at Li Mingshan and said:

"Brother Mingshan, if you say this place is so safe, then where did your previous partner go?"

Lu Feipeng suddenly realized that since this place was so safe, where did Li Mingshan’s previous partner go?

"Oh, you're talking about this matter. A few days ago, some team members on night duty had an accident.

Since there was a serious shortage of team members for the night shift, my partner was transferred to the night shift."

Having said that, Li Mingshan looked at Lu Feipeng deeply and said:

"Otherwise, Captain Chen wouldn't have arranged for you to patrol here."

"is it?"

Lu Feipeng said silently.

At noon, Lu Feipeng and Li Mingshan were sitting under a sycamore tree, eating the dry food they brought from home.

At this time, a figure walked over from a distance.

Li Mingshan, who was eating dry food, immediately noticed the figure, so he patted Lu Feipeng on the shoulder and nodded in the direction of the person coming. After seeing this, Lu Feipeng hurriedly put down the dry food, grabbed his weapon and quickly walked towards the person coming.

"Captain Wang..." "Captain Wang."

When they got closer and saw that the person coming was deputy captain Wang Yu Shi, Lu Feipeng and Li Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them each put a magic-banning talisman on their bodies, and then Wang Yushi approached the two and asked, "Nothing going on today?"

Li Mingshan: "Captain, there is nothing to do here for now."

Wang Yushi nodded calmly and said: iiiiiit "Well, in that case, I'll go somewhere else. Remember to signal in time if anything happens."

"Okay, Captain Wang."

After watching Wang Yu Shi leave, Li Mingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ok?"

When Wang Yu Shi left, Lu Feipeng immediately noticed that something seemed wrong with Li Mingshan.

So he asked Li Mingshan, "Brother Mingshan, what's wrong with you?"

"what?"

Li Mingshan came back to his senses when he heard a call from the side.

He first looked around and confirmed that no one was around, then he carefully whispered to Lu Feipeng:

“Fei Peng, you don’t know that among the three captains of the patrol team, Captain Wang is the most arrogant.

If you see him again in the future, remember to act a little nervous like me, so that Captain Wang can feel our respect for him, okay?"

"Oh, I understand, Brother Mingshan. What if we meet another Captain Liu?"

Seeing that Li Mingshan was willing to give him some advice, Lu Feipeng hurriedly asked him what to do when he met another deputy captain.

After all, there aren't many opportunities to discuss superiors in private like this.

Hearing this, Li Mingshan looked at Lu Feipeng deeply and said:

"Fei Peng, just hope you don't run into Captain Liu."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Feipeng looked at Li Mingshan speechlessly, feeling quite speechless:

"Why does this person keep saying half and leave the other half?"

As if he knew what Lu Feipeng was thinking, Li Mingshan spoke again:

"According to gossip, Liu Yuansi is petty, erratic, and extremely jealous.

It is said that in recent years there are several promising talents in the patrol team who are about to enter the spirit-inducing realm.

But he was secretly killed in private, and some people said that Liu Yuansi did it. "

"What? There is such a thing?"

Lu Feipeng was extremely shocked and looked at Li Mingshan in disbelief. His expression seemed to be saying, "Look, are you talking human language?"

Li Mingshan looked around again, then whispered to Lu Feipeng:

"Privately, we all call Liu Yuansi a lone wolf who eats people!"
