Chapter 64: The Rules of the Underworld: Give and Take
Li Banfeng also found a few more watermelon seeds on other weapons: "Manager Yu, I'm not wrong, you really cut watermelons all day long.
Yu Nan carefully recalled the scene of the battle. Whether they were shot with guns or cut with knives, the clerks of Geng's medicine store would bleed, but they just wouldn't fall to the ground.
And during the whole process, Yu Nan didn't hear the clerks of the medicine store say a word, or even hear them shout.
Are they all watermelons?
Is it that they bleed, and the blood is all watermelon juice?
Why do watermelons grow into human shapes? Why can they still fight?
Zhang Shiquan, the oldest warehouse manager in the cloth shop, took a puff of dry tobacco and guessed: "After hard work, the fifth level is the hero and duke. I'm afraid we have encountered a successful cultivator!"
Cultivation?
For this Taoist sect, Li Banfeng has no other concept except hardship.
"What do you mean by successful? "Li Banfeng asked directly.
The old warehouse manager said: "This is a common saying in Taoism. Cultivation is hard and few people practice it. But if you can persist in cultivating to the fifth level, you will become successful. You can grow all kinds of things.
I have never seen a watermelon like this that can fight in my life. I guess it is grown from the seeds of Gengxiu. "
Yu Nan thought about it and shook her head slightly: "Who is his Geng family? How can they afford a fifth-level Gengxiu? Besides, I haven't heard that there is a fifth-level Gengxiu in Yaowanggou!"
The old warehouse manager filled another pot of dry tobacco: "Boss, Gengxiu's work is hard. He works for money. He is not out to fight, but just sells a few watermelons.
And once Gengxiu has no land, he must come out to open up wasteland. There are many new lands in Yaowanggou. It is possible that Gengxiu will come and be encountered by the Geng family. "
What does new land mean?
Every time I hear some new terms.
Li Banfeng did not interrupt, he did not want to interrupt everyone's train of thought.
But everyone's train of thought has been interrupted. The fifth-level cultivator is an opponent that Yu Nan dare not look up to, especially when encountering a mature Geng Xiu, no one knows how to deal with it.
Yu Nan cast his eyes on Li Banfeng.
Everyone looked at Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng blinked: "What are you looking at me for? I have never seen Geng Xiu."
The old warehouse manager took a puff of dry tobacco and sighed: "The master said three points, and left seven points. We have to rely on ourselves to understand."
Everyone heard this and continued to look at Li Banfeng eagerly.
Li Banfeng did not speak.
He saw that the other party was a watermelon, a special taste left on the weapon. As for how to deal with Geng Xiu, Li Banfeng had no similar experience and no mature countermeasures.
But Li Banfeng has experience in dealing with powerful enemies that cannot be defeated in the short term. As an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, he has seen too many similar powerful enemies.
"In addition to Baixiang Village, do you have other places to live? "Li Banfeng's suggestion was to let them run away immediately.
Yu Nan had just suffered a defeat and was carrying a bunch of wounded soldiers. She knew nothing about Geng Zhiwei's methods. Staying here was like giving away everything.
What's worse is that she and her Yujia Gang are still thinking about the rules of the underworld.
Based on the ideas and cognition of this group of people, if they meet a ruthless person like Geng Zhiwei, they will die if they don't run away.
"Run?" Wang Xuejiao, the sister of Lao Ba, stood up, "It has come to this point. Where can we run? Don't you care about your face?"
Li Banfeng felt that Yu Nan's idea was very contradictory: "When you ran from Ligou to Baihua Village, you didn't seem to care about your face so much?"
Yu Nan shook her head and said, "That's different. At that time, we were guarding against their hidden arrows, but now they are coming with open knives and guns. "
"Can't we defend against open knives and guns? "Li Banfeng still couldn't understand.
"Boss Li, you don't understand what Jianghu is," Wang Xuejiao sneered,
"If the enemy comes with open swords and guns, you can prepare in advance to fight them, but if you run away, the Yu family's flag will be completely down!"
Li Banfeng glanced at everyone: "If you all die here, won't the Yu family's flag be considered down?"
Wang Xuejiao said with a big conscience: "Of course not, we used this life to raise the Yu family's flag!"
Li Banfeng said: "If Geng Zhiwei pressed the Yu family's flag to the ground and then peed, what can you do?"
Wang Xuejiao said angrily: "He dares!"
"Even if he dares, what can you do? He's dead, can you still jump up and beat him?" Li Banfeng continued to scan everyone.
The principles in this world are very simple, but there are always people who don't understand.
Wang Xuejiao lowered her head and whispered: "This is the rule of Jianghu..."
"Can a dead person talk to him about rules? "Li Banfeng asked again. Wang Xuejiao was not convinced, and so were the others, but none of them could answer.
The old warehouse manager knocked his pipe and looked at Yu Nan.
He understood what Li Banfeng said, and he understood the truth: "Boss, let's go, let's go to the new land of Jiangyue Mountain and hide for a while."
Yu Nan nodded slightly, and the others didn't say much.
Everyone went back to pack their bags, and Yu Nan asked Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, come with us. Although the new land is a bit hard, Geng Zhiwei doesn't dare to chase after it."
"What exactly is the new land?" Li Banfeng was not afraid of showing his weakness when he asked if he didn't understand.
Yu Nan was used to it. She didn't know whether Li Banfeng really didn't understand or was deliberately testing:
"New land means new land. Yaowanggou has three or five new lands every year, and each land is as big as two or three villages."
There are new lands every year?
Li Banfeng shook his head, he still didn't understand.
Yu Nan continued to explain: "It's like two mountains that were originally next to each other. After a year, the two mountains suddenly became farther apart, and a large open space appeared in the middle. This is the new land.
Most of the new land is flat, but there are exceptions. Some are hills, some are canyons, some are mud pits, and some are lakes..."
Li Banfeng widened his eyes: "Yaowanggou, the land grew by itself?"
Yu Nan nodded: "Not only Yaowanggou, there are places everywhere, every year."
Li Banfeng pulled a chair and sat down, drank a sip of water, and comforted his cognition that was repeatedly impacted.
Yu Nan reminded: "Seventh Master, pack up your things first, we should set off."
"No hurry," Li Banfeng waved his hand, "You go first, take Xiaopang with you, I have something to do here."
...
At two o'clock in the morning, Yu Nan led everyone to leave Baixiang Village.
At half past three, Geng Zhiwei led a hundred people and broke into Yu Nan's house.
The group was divided into two teams. One team was alive. Some stood behind Geng Zhiwei, shouting and yelling with ferocious looks. The other team was outside the house, surrounded by people.
The other team was very quiet. They didn't speak and had wooden expressions. They were the "watermelon people" that Geng Zhiwei bought from Geng Xiu.
These watermelon people also had knives and axes in their hands, but at present, their functions were limited to walking.
A servant took a cloth bag, grabbed a handful of brown particles, and stuffed them into the mouth of the watermelon man.
The particles had a pungent smell and were fertilizer for the watermelon man.
After eating the fertilizer, the watermelon man raised his knife and prepared for battle.
Soon, more than 20 watermelon people ate the fertilizer.
Two servants cut a dozen watermelons and came over.
These watermelons were very special. They tasted very sweet and fishy, and seemed to be different from ordinary watermelons.
Geng Zhiwei picked up two pieces of watermelon and ate them with a crunch.
Soon, his face turned red and he was sweating.
Jia Quansheng and a group of servants were also eating watermelons.
Li Banfeng hid in the house and saw everything clearly through the window.
What were they eating watermelons for?
Li Banfeng didn't understand.
But he soon understood.
Geng Zhiwei shouted, "Kill!"
The watermelon people were not so smart. When Geng Zhiwei ordered them to leave, they followed Geng Zhiwei all the way. When Geng Zhiwei ordered to kill, for them, it meant killing anyone they saw.
But the watermelon people only killed people and didn't hurt the watermelons. Geng Zhiwei and his men ate watermelons and exuded the smell of watermelons from inside to outside. The watermelon people would not hurt them and would obey their orders.
This was how they distinguished between the enemy and us.
Li Banfeng took advantage of his house repair and quietly jumped into the backyard and hid in the woodshed.
A man pushed open the door and walked into the woodshed. Li Banfeng raised his nose and smelled the unique sweetness of the watermelon.
This was a watermelon person.
The front and back yards were all watermelon people.
Let the watermelon people do all the things that involved stepping on the mines.
If Yu Nan didn't leave, no matter how many ambushes she made, she would have to fight with this group of watermelon people in the end. She couldn't hurt Geng Zhiwei at all.
When Yu Nan's side was almost dead or wounded, Geng Zhiwei ordered the people surrounding outside to close the net, and none of Yu Nan's group could escape.
Geng Zhiwei wanted to kill them all.
He couldn't let Yu Nan go, nor could he let Li Banfeng go. This was the only thing Yu Nan said was right.
That's why Li Banfeng stayed.
Yu Nan was defeated by Geng Zhiwei, and it was Li Banfeng's turn soon.
What should Li Banfeng do?
The reason is simple, if you can beat them, fight, if you can't, run.
Can Li Banfeng beat Geng Zhiwei?
He couldn't beat them before, but it's hard to say now.
Li Banfeng saw the characteristics of the watermelon people and knew Geng Zhiwei's methods.
He has a chance to win, the key is to see how to fight.
Eat a watermelon every day, and then be on guard against Geng Zhiwei every day?
Does this trick work?
It doesn't work.
There are three reasons.
First, Li Banfeng is not sure whether Geng Zhiwei is eating ordinary watermelon.
Second, Li Banfeng does not know when Geng Zhiwei will make a move, so he cannot eat watermelon all the time.
Third, Geng Zhiwei knows the fifth-level cultivator. If he changes to a carrot man tomorrow, how should Li Banfeng deal with it?
So eating watermelon alone cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
Go to war with Geng Zhiwei directly here?
It is too difficult. Geng Zhiwei is too well prepared. If he just takes him by surprise, his chances of winning are quite slim.
Things in the rivers and lakes must be solved by the rules of the rivers and lakes.
The rules of the rivers and lakes emphasize giving and taking.
I came to his house as a guest first. Although I came uninvited, this is also coming.
Then I sent him to a good place. Although there is no return, this is also going.
Isn't this giving and taking?
Isn't this the rules of the rivers and lakes?
As for the rules of open and hidden arrows, Li Banfeng does not understand them for the time being.
The watermelon man who entered the woodshed saw Li Banfeng and raised his knife to chop.
Li Banfeng picked up a shovel, cut a hole in the watermelon man's stomach, reached into the watermelon man's wound, and grabbed a handful of watermelon pulp.
Yes, it was watermelon pulp, fresh red, with watermelon seeds.
The watermelon man didn't feel the pain, and continued to chop with his knife.
Li Banfeng smeared the watermelon pulp on his face, which gave off a watermelon smell.
The watermelon man raised his knife and continued to chop.
It didn't work!
It really didn't work. During the day, Yu Nan and his men fought with the watermelon man, and they were also covered with a lot of watermelon juice. The watermelon man didn't show them any mercy.
It is useless to apply it on the face. The watermelon pulp must be eaten. The watermelon flavor must be emitted from the inside out.
Fortunately, this watermelon man can carry, but he is not very good at fighting. With Li Banfeng's skills, he is enough to deal with him.
During the fight, Li Banfeng grabbed another handful of watermelon pulp and swallowed it into his stomach.
The watermelon is very sweet, but also very astringent. Li Banfeng reluctantly swallowed it.
The watermelon man swung his knife and chopped it again. Li Banfeng was shocked. The watermelon has been eaten, why is it still not effective?
Not enough to eat?
Li Banfeng dodged the watermelon man's knife, and grabbed a handful of watermelon pulp from the watermelon man's wound and stuffed it into his mouth.
It's too bad, why is it so astringent? Li Banfeng was sweating from the astringency.
The watermelon man sniffed and smelled the watermelon on Li Banfeng, the watermelon smell from the inside out. The knife was swung in the air and did not move.
"Watermelon Man", do not hurt watermelons.
Li Banfeng opened the Suishenju and stuffed the key deep into the watermelon man's stomach.
Li Banfeng disappeared, and the watermelon man left the woodshed silently with a machete.
