Death compensation

Chapter 17 Mountain Village
The wind and snow became heavier again, and Lu Bai walked for a long time along the road pointed by the woman, only to see a mountain village at the foot of the mountain.

This mountain village has a certain connection with the cottage, and some people in the cottage originally belonged to this mountain village.

Adhering to the principle that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests, Heihuzhai basically would not plunder the locals here before.

According to the woman, she came to this mountain village as a refugee, and was snatched away before she could integrate.

Her parents are still in this village, but since she was snatched away, they don't know the situation in the village.

Other than that, she didn't say much, and she didn't think about how to face her parents.

There are probably more than ten households in the mountain village, and most of them are huddled in their houses at this time.

After all, when it snows heavily, the sky and the earth will be white, and if one is not careful, he will be frozen to death.

Ancient times are no different than modern times, with down jackets, air conditioners, and all kinds of warm things.

These low-level people don't have many ways to keep warm in winter, and basically can only rely on their own bodies to resist.

And every year, many people die in the process.

Of course, there are also some people who have to brave the cold to work even if it is heavy snow.

Because if you don't work, your family may starve to death.

So when Lu Bai walked into the village, he was still discovered.

And Lu Bai's strange behavior immediately aroused the vigilance of these people, and they all looked at Lu Bai warily with kitchen knives or pitchforks.

Lu Bai did not act because of this.

Although so far, he can be regarded as decisive in killing, but Lu Bai still has some basic judgments on whether to kill a person.

For example, whether the other party is involved in martial arts, or whether the main body of the other party's life involves these things.

Of course, this is not absolute, Lu Bai has a very flexible bottom line.

For Lu Bai, martial arts is a hunting ground. When you are in the hunting ground and dare to show his minions, he can treat you as a prey.

These villagers are not 'hunters' in the martial arts. Although they have some connections with the cottages on the mountain, as far as they are concerned, they are essentially people who eat in the ground.

"Just passing by, want to ask where is the nearest town?" Lu Bai explained a little: "By the way, see if I can buy some dry food from you."

Lu Bo's appetite is quite big. After all, he is a martial artist, and with his physical talent, he naturally eats a lot.

Although he ate at the cottage before, he didn't take all the food in the cottage.

He is a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He has a habit of doing things from beginning to end. Since he has decided to spare that woman's life, he will not intentionally kill her.

The other party is alone in the mountains, it is better to leave some food for the other party.

So when he came to the mountain village, Lu Bai had already eaten what he had on his body, and he was still a little hungry.

"Please leave, outsiders are not welcome here." Just when the villagers were a little overwhelmed, a middle-aged and elderly man wearing animal skin clothes came out and said aggressively.

This person is about fifty years old, which can be called old in ancient times.

But even so, the old man's mental outlook is good, and he can still hang out in the uncle's circle after tidying up a little.

"You old man, don't you understand human language?" Lu Bai doesn't have the habit of respecting the elderly. If you don't respect the elderly, then I won't be used to you.

Besides, counting the 77 years I slept in, I might be a few rounds older than this half-old man.

"I asked where the nearest town is, and can I exchange for some food?" Lu Bai reached into his pocket and took out some gold, silver and jewelry.

Wealth is not revealed, this is for those who hold gold for children, for Lu Bai, this is fishing.

The old man's tone made him uncomfortable. If they did something to themselves for these gold and silver jewels, then his flexible moral bottom line would be drawn down.

What surprised Lu Bai was that although the eyes of the people around him were straight, their hands unconsciously tightened their weapons.

But their eyes were on the old man immediately, as if they were waiting for the old man's order.

In other words, their greed for property is not as majestic as this old man.

"You can go out from here, leave quickly, stranger." The old man glanced at Caibao, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't show greed, but pointed to the side, telling Lu Bai to leave quickly.

"Alright then." Lu Bai nodded, put away the treasure, passed through the knives and forks of these villagers without any panic, and walked outside.

Just halfway there, Lu Bai suddenly turned his head and looked at the village chief, mainly at the old man's face.

"Have we met somewhere, or where have you met your children?" Lu Bai felt that the old man looked familiar.

He must have seen the old man for the first time, but according to genetics, children will inherit a certain look from their father.

Lu Bai's memory is not bad, he only met so many people when he came to this world, and not many people impressed him deeply.

This old man's face gave me a sense of familiarity, but it made me unable to remember it, which is a bit interesting.

After the old man heard Lu Bai's words, his expression immediately became gloomy.

"Get him out!"

And as the old man's expression changed, Lu Bai also came to a sudden realization.

"So it's you, Hualian." Lu Bai looked at the old man.

He was very impressed with the painted face, but the painted face was covered with scars, which made people who saw his face pay attention to the scars immediately, and didn't care about his true face at all.

The same is true for Lu Bai, the main impression of Hualian is his scar.

However, the old man and the painted face look very similar. As long as the painted face removes the scars on the face and gets older, it will be exactly the same as the old man.

"Since this is the case, you seem to be in this martial arts world." Lu Bai's guessing ability is not bad.

Hualian is a senior executive of Baihua Tomb, and his father or elder is in this mountain village, and the mountain village has some connections with Heihuzhai.

At the same time, Heihuzhai was recognized by Baihuazhong some time ago, and the flag was changed to become Heihumen.

Coupled with the old man's extremely high status in this village, there must be a series of PY transactions.

Originally thought that the relationship between the mountain village and Heihuzhai was at most that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, and some people came from this mountain village, and at most they had to inform and arrange more cover.

Now it seems that the relationship between them is much deeper.

"I'm very interested in you now." Lu Bai glanced over, and as the conflict intensified, most of the people in the village came out.

Rubbing his fists, Lu Bai smiled.

"And I believe that soon, you will also be willing to talk."
