Chapter 48 Shoot to Kill

  The continuous drizzle moistens the dry land.

  The slightly dry weeds were quickly wetted by drops of rain, causing the branches and leaves to overlap and slowly droop.

   Created a scene of luxuriant grass.

  Chen An woke up slowly from his sleep.

   When he looked up out of the window, he found that it was already very bright.

  I am in the room at the moment, and I can hear the voices of the neighbors outside from time to time.

  All indications are that it is getting late.

  Chen An looked at his little wife and daughter who were still asleep, and helplessly reached out to help them wipe the saliva from the corners of their mouths.

  Then, spread the consciousness to perceive again.

   Perceived the concubines in the other two rooms, who are still asleep until now.

   And slept deeply.

   "It seems that they worked too late last night, and they are too tired to wake up now."

   "I need to be more restrained in the future."

  Thinking, Chen An gently dressed and got out of bed, planning to go to the kitchen to make a long-absent breakfast.

  Nutrition should be balanced.

   Boil a few eggs.

   Fry a few fritters.

   Grind a few bowls of soy milk.

   Finally, cook a small pot of vegetable porridge, which is basically the same.

   Presumably the three wives, concubines and daughters love to eat.

   "Everyone in Green Willow Lane!"

   "Come out quickly!"

   "The elders of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, Zhao Qingshan, Elder Zhao, I have something important to announce to everyone!"

  Chen An was about to open the door and leave when there was a deafening shout outside.

  The voice is very familiar, it sounds like the deacon of the Bamboo Leaf Gang who came to call everyone to the battlefield yesterday.

   "Whoa... whoa... whoa!"

  Daughter Chen Yuejian was woken up, sat up from the bed and cried loudly.

  Song Huaying immediately hugged her into her arms, and while gently stroking her head, said comfortingly: "See you, Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, mother is here."

   "Ying'er, go out and have a look for your husband."

   "Husband, be careful."

"Um."

   As Chen An said, he gave her crying daughter a sleep aid, making her fall asleep with a sweet face, and then opened the door and left the room.

  When I came to the hall, I just met Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue who came out of the room. Obviously, both of them were woken up by the shouting just now.

   "Yue'er, go to the kitchen and make some breakfast."

   "Yun'er, follow me out to have a look."

  Chen An looked at Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue and said.

  Gu Xinyue was very obedient, she said "OK" and walked to the kitchen, she didn't follow out because she was curious about what happened outside.

  Wen Zhiyun didn't make a sound, and silently followed Chen An out to see what was going on outside.

  When the two came outside, both sides of the alley were already full of residents.

   In the middle of the alley, there are several monks from the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

   Except for an extra old man, the others are all familiar faces from the Bamboo Leaf Gang who came yesterday.

   "That old man is the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Bamboo Leaf Gang. He is a great foundation builder, and his strength can rank among the top five in the Bamboo Leaf Gang."

  Wen Zhiyun leaned against Chen An's ear and whispered the news to him.

  Chen An lowered his voice curiously and asked:

"How did you know?"

   "He courted me before."

   "I see."

  Chen An nodded and said no more.

   Seeing that the residents in Luliu Lane had almost come out, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, that is, Elder Zhao, quickly said in a deep voice:

   "Everyone, the battle between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Villa is intensifying. I hope that everyone can help the Bamboo Leaf Gang and join us on the battlefield to fight the enemy and defeat the Black Iron Villa."

   "Of course, the Bamboo Leaf Gang will not treat everyone badly, and will reward everyone based on their performance on the battlefield afterwards."

   "The worst reward is a year's rent-free in the core area."

  "Those who perform well can even join the Bamboo Leaf Gang to become stewards or deacons."

  Elder Zhao didn’t have any nonsense, and went straight to the point to make a long story short, announcing the benefits of being a mercenary of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

   After that, they quietly waited for the response from the residents of Green Willow Lane.

  However, the counting time passed.

  The residents of Green Willow Lane not only did not respond, but many of them went back to their houses and closed the gates without giving them any face.

   What a joke!

   No matter how rich the reward is, you have to be lucky enough to get it.

   It's not like everyone doesn't know what's going on on the battlefield now.

  In the past few days, just the fallen monks in the late stage of Qi Refining have heard no less than two digits.

  It's so dangerous, who would dare to be a mercenary?

  Seeing that no one responded to his call, Elder Zhao narrowed his eyes.

   Immediately mobilize the spiritual power in the body, making the sound extremely penetrating:

   "From next month, the rent in Green Willow Lane will increase to 200 low-grade spirit stones per month!"

What? !

  Rising to 200 low-grade spirit stones per month?

  The residents of Luliu Lane who were present all thought they had heard it wrong, and they all showed shock.

   Soon, some residents came out and asked:

   "Elder Zhao, is what you said true?"

   "It's true!"

  Elder Zhao's voice is extremely majestic, and there is no room for resistance.

   After confirming that the rent will really increase to 200 low-grade spirit stones per month.

   Almost all the residents of Green Willow Lane were blown up.

   "Elder Zhao, your rent increase is not in compliance with the rules. Now is a special period and it's fine if you don't lower the price. How can you double the price?"

   "That's right, how can we afford such an increase?"

   "This disguise forces us to go to the battlefield, so we might as well move away."

   "Elder Zhao, the Bamboo Leaf Gang has raised the rent indiscriminately, which will damage the reputation of Zhuye Forest."

   "It's really unreasonable."

  Residents in Luliu Lane protested one after another.

   Everyone felt that the rent increase behavior of the Zhuye Gang was very unruly, and they were quite dissatisfied.

  Elder Zhao was unmoved, and said indifferently:

   "This matter has been decided. When the next rent collection day comes, I will come to collect it in person. Not one copper plate is missing."

   After speaking, he turned around and left with the people who came with him.

   Some residents could not swallow this breath, and began to incite the surrounding humanity loudly:

   "The rent is doubled, isn't this forcing us to go to the battlefield, forcing us to die?"

   "It's a big deal!"

   "I'll pack my luggage now and move out of the bamboo forest today!"

   "There is no place to stay here, but a place to stay!"

  Many residents have been dissatisfied with the Bamboo Leaf Forest recently, and when they were suddenly provoked, they immediately shouted.

   "Zheng Daoyou is right, this is a fart, let's go tonight!"

   "I would rather die at the mouth of monsters outside the forest than on the battlefield!"

   "Whoever wants to move out today, everyone can form a team together so that we can take care of each other when we leave!"

  As soon as these words came out, many residents responded, shouting to leave this bamboo forest that would only continue to squeeze the residents.

   More and more residents are shouting.

  The momentum became more and more massive.

   Facing this scene, the monks of the Bamboo Leaf Gang couldn't help feeling a little nervous and apprehensive.

   But fortunately, they have a foundation-building power beside them.

  Elder Zhao, among them, suddenly erupted with his foundation-building cultivation, and a terrifying spiritual pressure swept towards the residents, instantly suppressing all protests that were almost out of control.

  After that, the voice was deafening:

   "Now is a special time!"

   "Anyone who dares to move away will be regarded as an undercover agent who wants to inform Heitie Villa, and he will be killed without mercy!"

  After feeling the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from Elder Zhao, and the murderous aura mixed in his words.

   All the residents of Luliu Lane who were clamoring to move out suddenly fell silent and became outraged.

   "You guys do it for yourself!"

  After throwing down these words domineeringly, Elder Zhao left Green Willow Lane with a group of people accompanying him.

  When passing by Chen An's house, his gaze fell on Wen Zhiyun in front of the door.

   But he just glanced at it, and quickly looked away.

   After Elder Zhao walked away.

  Green Willow Lane became noisy again.

  Some are yelling.

  Some are moaning.

   There are also whispers, plotting something.

   "What are we going to do in the future?"

  Wen Zhiyun frowned slightly, feeling a little pessimistic about today's sudden rent increase.

  Chen An picked up one of her slender hands, rubbed it and said:

   "My husband is an alchemist. You only need to provide pills to the Bamboo Leaf Gang on a regular basis to get rent-free. You don't need to take risks on the battlefield yet. Let's take a step and see."

   "Well, listen to you."

  Wen Zhiyun's cheeks flushed slightly.

  At this time, one of her jade hands was being gently kneaded by Chen An, and the warm touch from the palm made her feel a little shy.

   Feeling embarrassed in the presence of such a large crowd.

  However, she didn't want to withdraw her hand, and wanted to be played by Chen An all the time.

  For some reason, she enjoyed the feeling of being infatuated by Chen An very much.

  It made her feel very happy.

  …
