Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 14 Finding the Truth and Visiting Again, Familiar Despair Again

Although you can't control the affairs of the world, but since you encounter them, you can manage them as much as you can.

Besides, Lin Pingzhi came here to deal with these Japanese pirates.

However, it is difficult to tell the right and wrong of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.Still need to know more about it.

On the one hand, listening to partial beliefs and only listening to one side of the story can easily lead to subjective misjudgments and lead to being used by others.

Second, listen to other people's opinions and ponder over and over again, which can also help you understand the strength of the other party.

After eating at the old man's place for a while, Lin Pingzhi paid some money and bid farewell to the old man.

Although the old man insisted not to accept it, under Lin Pingzhi's repeated persuasion, the old man could only accept it.

Although the money Lin Pingzhi gave was not a lot, at least it could improve the life of the old man. Lin Pingzhi saw the dilapidated fishing net in his yard, and judging by the injury on his face, he might not be able to go to sea for several months.

An old man with limited mobility, no matter how frugal he was, he might not be able to survive several months of injuries and hunger.

It wasn't that Lin Pingzhi was stingy and refused to give more, but if he gave too much, it would harm the old man instead.

As an old man who was injured, he was able to survive and keep his family property because he was poor enough and no one asked him "trouble".

But if Lin Pingzhi gave him a "huge sum of money", then he would not be able to spend the money, not to mention the envy of others, and he might be framed for "stealing", which would cause him unnecessary trouble.

It gave him enough expenses during the months of recuperation without causing him any trouble.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Lin Pingzhi led the horse and walked in the village. He looked at the tragic scene in the village again.

Although he had read it once, it would never hurt to pay more attention to some details.

Although the village is not very small, it is not too big either.Lin Pingzhi noticed a detail that he hadn't noticed before.

That is, the homes that were basically robbed were ordinary people's homes, and some peasant households with small assets. As for the compound in the village, which was full of bricks and tiles, it did not become the target of Japanese pirates.

Lin Pingzhi noticed that most of the gates of his house were cut with knives and axes, and the door panels were tilted and cracked. It seemed that they had not been breached after being attacked.

Lin Pingzhi visited a few more. Basically, those with high-walled courtyards, or those with young and strong families, basically did not suffer much loss.

Only those rich peasants with thin families, low courtyard walls, and unsecured houses were basically robbed.

This can only explain one problem, that is, these pirates are in a hurry.

It was not too difficult to break through those courtyard gates, but the Japanese pirates were very eager, and they were eager to grab them and run away.

Or maybe there are not many of them, they are just bluffing and dare not fight.

Lin Pingzhi turned around and returned to the house where he met the old man before. The white banner in front of the door was still swaying against the sad wind.

But the crying in the courtyard still didn't stop.

Lin Pingzhi came to the door at this time. Although the courtyard door was open, Lin Pingzhi did not enter, but stood in front of the door and knocked gently.

If one enters the courtyard without the permission of the host family, it is rude on the one hand, and a "robber" on the other.Even flower beggars are not allowed to set foot on the threshold.

Hearing a knock on the door, an old woman came out of the house.

The old woman was dressed in sackcloth, her face was very bloated, especially the eyeballs.

She rubbed her eyes, then said in a hoarse voice, "Who is it!"

Lin Pingzhi said: "I'm a traveler passing by. It's getting late now, and I want to stay overnight in your residence."

The old woman looked Lin Pingzhi up and down, then bowed and said: "It's not that I don't want to keep my son, but because there is a funeral at home, it's inconvenient to keep guests."

If it were someone else, they might have left after hearing this, but Lin Pingzhi didn't, he chose this family on purpose.

This has been carefully considered by him, because this family is "dead".

Compared with the fear of other common people, and the joy of the rest of their lives, only this family will support him to "revenge".

He didn't want the common people to pay anything, he just wanted them to help take care of the luggage and horses.

Lin Pingzhi clasped his hands at this time and said: "I am a knight-errant who travels in the rivers and lakes. I heard that there were Japanese pirates here, so I came here to check. I saw that there were people killed in your house, so I came here to find out the details. So that I can get rid of the Japanese pirates."

Hearing that this person was here to eradicate Japanese pirates, the old woman was taken aback.

At this time, a young man from Lin Pingzhi, who was a little older, ran out of the courtyard. He staggered and fell down in front of Lin Pingzhi with tears in his face.

Lin Pingzhi bent slightly and said, "Brother, it doesn't have to be like this."

But the young man didn't seem to hear Lin Pingzhi's words, he was holding Lin Pingzhi's dress with his scarred hands.

Lin Pingzhi looked at his face carefully, the young man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he was in a state of embarrassment.

There was still traces of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was much more swollen than the old woman's just now.

A blood-soaked white cloth was wrapped around his forehead, but right now he couldn't tell whether it was a "filial hoop" or a bandage wrapped around his forehead.

He choked up, and said to Lin Pingzhi in a hoarse voice: "Hero, if you avenge my wife, you will be the student's reborn parents. The student is willing to be a cow and a horse in this life to repay the hero's kindness."

As he spoke, he kowtowed to Lin Pingzhi very irrationally, his head kowtowed loudly, "dong dong dong" like a war drum.

Lin Pingzhi hurriedly supported him, and then lifted him up.

He seemed to understand how the wound on his head had come about.

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's our duty to be chivalrous."

At this time, the young man looked at Lin Pingzhi and said: "Hero, as long as you can avenge my wife, how much do you want? The student is willing to sell his property and repay your great kindness."

Lin Pingzhi said: "No need." At this time Lin Pingzhi looked at the small courtyard.

There are only four people in this courtyard now, apart from Lin Pingzhi, there are only young people left in this family, there is also an old woman, and a woman who looks like a maid.

He trusts Lin Pingzhi so easily now, not because he believes in how capable Lin Pingzhi is, but because he has lost his mind.Already a little "desperate", this is a powerless "despair".

He had a bloody revenge but couldn't avenge it, so he could only kneel down and beg for help from others.

As long as someone promises to avenge him, he can see anyone as salvation.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help feeling emotional.No one is more familiar with this scene than him.

"I passed by here, and I heard that the Japanese pirates were murdering, so I came here to check. I want to stay in your mansion for a few days. As long as the young master takes good care of this horse, then I will feel at ease to eliminate harm for the local area."

At this time, Lin Pingzhi took out a silver coin from his pocket, and handed it to the young man.

"These rights are temporarily considered as the expenses of staying in your residence."

Seeing the money that Lin Pingzhi handed over, the young man said: "The hero avenged me, and the students should treat themselves as good entertainers. How can they accept the money from the hero?"

Lin Pingzhi said indifferently: "Avenging you is also for the purpose of eradicating violence and peace, and there is no need for any rewards, entertainment and the like. If I want to do this, I don't have to risk my life to come here."

Lin Ping looked up and down at this helpless young man.

"From what the young master said just now, he should be a scholar with a reputation. If the young master is in high school in the next year, he will be an honest official and work for the well-being of the people. It will be considered as a repayment for my kindness."

Lin Pingzhi looked at him and said lightly.
