Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 590: Hug and squat! (4k+)

Von Stroevsky... Charlie chewed the name over and over in his mind. It sounded like a serious name, but when combined with the face and expression of the man in front of him, it sounded strange no matter how he thought about it.

“You can call me Charlie, and I hope we can get along happily for some time in the future.

Juan, find a house with your new companions..."

Charlie originally wanted to send the young man he was familiar with to take Liu Yonglu and the others to find a place to stay, but when he turned around, he found that the young man named Juan had retreated far away and his eyes were a little evasive.

In fact, from the moment Liu Yonglu and the other two entered the village, many villagers began to feel a little angry and fearful.

Angry and dissatisfied with the attitude of the three people, why? Why can you talk nonsense in front of Charlie without any respect.

Many young men came over with wooden sticks in their hands to intimidate the three men.

But after seeing the looks in Lin Brown and Shani's eyes, these villagers, who had just become furious, retreated again.

They are indeed very arrogant at ordinary times, and those guys in the village who are "possessed by demons" dare not even fart in front of them.

There's no need to use force, most of the time just a few words are enough to make these guys lower their heads in shame and let them do whatever they want.

But Lin Brown is different from Mr. Shani. Lin Brown has countless lives on his hands, while Mr. Shani has experienced countless battles, big and small, after following Liu Yonglu. He has fought against projections of gods and also fought against the gods themselves.

The look in the two men's eyes gave those villagers who were eager to try a try a chill.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Liu Yonglu still had a smiling face and patted Charlie's shoulder in a friendly manner.

Seeing that Juan didn't dare to step forward, Charlie could only lead Liu Yonglu and his group into the village.

After taking just two steps, Mr. Shani, who was walking in the front, fell flat on his face with a "bang", and the backpack on his shoulder rolled to the ground. Maybe the buckle of the backpack was not fastened tightly, and the daggers, hunting knives, hammers and forks in the bag were scattered all over the ground.

"You can't even walk steadily, what use are you!?"

Liu Yonglu pretended to be angry and kicked Mr. Shani on the butt. He didn't really kick him, he was holding back. But his eldest disciple's love was not in vain, his performance style had some of Liu Yonglu's charm.

As soon as Liu Yonglu's toes touched Xia Ni's butt, the eldest disciple staggered again and rolled three meters away.

"Mr. Feng."

Charlie looked at Liu Yonglu expressionlessly. He was also on the verge of falling out. What the hell, three people were going to enter the village with sharp weapons. What were they trying to do? Who knows, they might cause trouble.

"Mr. Charlie, we often travel to collect taxes. Sometimes we can't go home for ten days or half a month. When we go out, we have to bring some handy tools with us.

I usually chop meat, cut vegetables, and hammer tents, so you should understand this.”

Feeling that the time was right, Liu Yonglu prepared to get to the point.

He had figured it out before he came. In this village, the villagers seemed to be very cohesive and noisy every day, but in the final analysis, the people in charge were Charlie and those men in black robes.

If I just take some things and go into the village, the most I can do is talk to the villagers every day, but I won't get anything out of them.

If you want to find out more about Xiaohu and the Virgin Mary's preacher, you have to get in touch with Charlie and his gang.

"According to the rules of our village and in accordance with the revelation of the gods, these tools should not be brought into the village."

Charlie seemed to have his own confidence. There was no expression on his face and he said it in a neutral tone.

"Hey, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten to ask. The four people from the family that just entered the village were carrying wheat. Do you have to take half of that wheat?"

"Housing, food and daily necessities are not abundant in the village. We have to ensure that everyone gets their fair share. This is the only solution."

After this question was asked, the relationship between the two sides reached a freezing point. The villagers watching from all sides dared not breathe, and hundreds of people were silent.

They were waiting for a signal, a signal to attack the three people in front of them.

Without a signal they would not dare to be the first to step forward, but once there was a signal, they would shout and surround the three men and tear them to pieces.

"I understand what you said. The current situation is special. If we divide our things evenly, we can still get by.

If you find this bag of tools useful, take all of them!"

Mr. Shani had already put all the tools back into the bag. Liu Yonglu raised his hand and handed the backpack to him.

Liu Yonglu still had the same expression and handed the backpack to Charlie with a smile.

Charlie nodded and took the backpack. It seemed that Von Stroevsky was a very sensible man. Tax collectors were mostly misers who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Just at this moment, the villagers made way for a path, and two young men holding wooden sticks, along with several children and several elderly people, walked to the entrance of the village.

"Mr. Charlie, we caught a few more people. They were bewitched by the devil and sneaked into old Pedro's house last night. I don't know what they wanted to steal."

There was one last thing left to do at the villagers' assembly, which was to judge the devil's puppets, the descendants of original sin.

"We didn't plan to steal anything, we just wanted to find a shack to sleep in. Pedro's front door was locked, so we could only climb in through the back door.

You said that we can use the shacks in the village..."

The person who was speaking was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, wearing a dirty linen dress. Her face was dirty, and there was a lot of dirt and straw stuck on her freckled cheeks.

But before she could finish her words, Charlie silenced her with a stern look.

"We are all God's people. What we need to do now is to help you resist the whispers and invasions of demons. Are you ready to reject our care and help?"

These words were too heavy for a ten-year-old child. Although the little girl forced herself to look directly at Charlie, her body was shaking unconsciously.

"Juan, take away the sinners who confessed in front of the gate yesterday. Keep a close eye on them these two days. Hey, bring in a new batch of sinners."

Liu Yonglu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. These villagers at least gave him a day of buffer time. If Charlie wanted to torture or execute Xiaohu and Ling'er immediately...

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Liu Yonglu is going to make a scene today.

He didn't dare to look at the two children. He turned his back and kept his eyes on Charlie's face, not wanting the other to see what he was thinking.

"Mr. Charlie, you know what we did before. We never did farming or herding sheep.

You..."

Liu Yonglu tilted his neck and looked around at the several "sinners" brought by Juan.

"You seem to have a lot of troubles here. If you trust me, leave this matter to my brother. I am the most pious person. Maybe it won't take long for me to feel the grace of God. With my wise eyes, I will catch these sinners who have been bewitched by the devil for you."

Liu Yonglu's tone also softened a little, not as arrogant as at the beginning.

Charlie thought for a while and nodded:
"Everyone in the village feels grief and empathy when they see these sinners possessed by demons.

But as you said, someone has to take the responsibility, Mr. Feng, you and your companions can take care of it if you are free."

This is exactly what Liu Yonglu wanted to hear.

Liu Yonglu didn't want to get involved in what happened later, as he was afraid that he would not be able to control his anger and beat the old man in front of him again.

Charlie ignored his rambling on about how to judge the criminal Liu Yonglu, and walked straight to his residence with his eldest disciple and Lin Bei.

The young man named Juan led the way and talked a lot about things related to the village along the way.

Although Mr. Charlie said that he would ask von Stroevsky to take care of it and keep an eye on it when he was free, Juan knew that what he meant was that the task of judging the criminals was handed over to these three people.

In addition, Mr. Feng just contributed a bag of "tools", so Hu An already had some trust in Liu Yonglu in his heart.

There was a lot of space inside the beast's belly, and there was no wind or rain to disturb them, so it was not difficult to build a simple house. After walking for seven or eight minutes, Juan brought Liu Yonglu and the other two to a small house.

The cottage has only one floor, with a small courtyard in front. A simple shack is built in the courtyard, and there are a lot of extra wood that was not used in the previous house construction piled in the shack.

Liu Yonglu looked around and saw that a family of four who had just joined the village like them lived next door. Just as Lin Brown had guessed, there were only two bags of wheat left piled in front of the house.

After walking into the room and taking a look, Liu Yonglu found two days' rations for three people on the table, including an apple. He didn't know if it was left by the vendor yesterday.

"Brother, we are in trouble. Let's take a rest today and calm down. You can call us tomorrow if you need help."

Liu Yonglu threw a cigarette to Juan. The young man carefully put the cigarette into his jacket pocket and walked out the door with a smile on his face.

"Shani, did you see any strange people just now? Maybe they were preachers on earth?"

Liu Yonglu sat on the chair and poured himself a glass of water. In terms of experience, he was definitely better than Xia Ni in getting wet in the quilt. It was a pity that his eyesight was not so good now, so he probably didn't see anything just now.

"Master, I feel that there is something wrong with those men in black robes behind Charlie, especially the tall man with a goatee who keeps scratching himself, including his neck and armpits."

"Tomorrow, let's go out early and talk to Charlie in private."

In the previous battle between the Holy See and the preachers on earth, Liu Yonglu had seen the means by which these preachers on earth possessed ordinary people, and a face would grow again behind their neck.

Hearing these villagers shouting about "God", "Devil" and "Judgment", Liu Yonglu naturally thought of the Holy Maiden Sect.

"Go to sleep first. Tomorrow morning, you two will do me a favor and find Xiaohu and Ling'er.

Don't act rashly after you find him. Come home and call me. Let's find out Xiaohu's identity first. Then we can go ahead and deal with those preachers on the ground.

By the way, Lin Bei, the key is in your hand. Tell Marquette and the others. "

Before entering the village, Lin Brown asked Marquette for a key. This key was also an ancient relic that could vibrate to make each other feel.

After explaining everything, the three of them found a place to sleep and spent the night in silence.

I don't know how long I slept, but Liu Yonglu heard his eldest disciple calling him beside the bed:
"Master, wake up, we found Xiaohu and Ling'er."

"Ah, did you find it? What time is it?"

Liu Yonglu sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes. There was no natural light in the beast's belly. As long as the torch was extinguished, the room was pitch black. Liu Yonglu was so drowsy that he didn't know how long he had slept.

I opened my pocket watch and saw that it was past eight o'clock. It was time to get up.

"Where's the quilt?"

"Lin Brown, go walk around the village and see if you can get any clues."

"Okay, let's leave a note and go over to take a look first."

Liu Yonglu got up from the bed, put on his coat, touched his pockets before leaving, and then followed Mr. Shani to the edge of the village.

The village was just as Liu Yonglu had guessed before. The houses near the center were relatively sturdy and the roads were cleaner.

The further you go out, the more dilapidated the houses become and the muddier and dirtier the ground becomes.

Fruit peels, egg shells, rotten vegetable leaves, and animal feces can be seen everywhere, and the smell is not very good. The time for the Virgin Mary to awaken should be not far away, otherwise those preachers on earth would not allow the village to continue to stink like this.

At this time, several children were searching for food in the mud with a few pieces of wood. When they saw Mr. Shani and Liu Yonglu, they quickly stuffed the wood into their clothes and walked over timidly to ask for food.

Xiaohu and Ling'er were also among this group of children, but even among this group of children, they were the smallest, so they could only be squeezed in the outermost layer.

"Master, should we avoid being so cautious?"

Mr. Shani asked in a low voice.

Although there were not many people living in this area, there were still a few families around. When they saw outsiders coming, they all poked their heads out of the house and looked at the two of them vigilantly.

After Liu Yonglu and Xia Ni came out of their home, a father and daughter carrying a basket followed them. Xia Ni suspected that the father and daughter might be Charlie's men, specifically responsible for surveillance.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

Liu Yonglu was knocked around by the child and pretended to be impatient:
"Go away, go away, do whatever you need to do. If you keep hanging around me, I'll take a closer look to see who has been cursed by the devil and take him away later."

After Liu Yonglu said this, the children surrounding him immediately scattered in all directions.

Many children ran home with smiles on their faces. Before going out today, Liu Yonglu deliberately put a few biscuits in his pocket for the children to take.

Xiaohu and Ling'er were far away, and they didn't get the cookies, but they were unwilling to leave, so they stood there, a little hesitant.

"Wow! Good guy! (SD people say hello)"

Seeing Xiaohu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Liu Yonglu felt upset and shouted at the top of his voice.

These words were spoken to Xiaohu. If it was the real Xiaohu, he would definitely react after hearing Liu Yonglu's words, but the little boy with black pupils and black hair in front of him just stood there stupidly and took two steps back timidly.

The child in front of him was definitely not Xiaohu! Liu Yonglu had already come to the conclusion!
