Druid Fairy

Chapter 20 Killing someone
After hearing the whole story, Li Rongzhou and Li Pingfu felt heavy-hearted.

Taoye Village is located upstream of Taohua Village. Although it can be considered a "competitor" in selling fresh peaches, they usually keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other.

Unexpectedly, such a filthy incident occurred as soon as the drought began to emerge.

Without the stream to irrigate the woodland, the four acres of peach orchards we just bought in the spring would definitely dry up and die. At that time, let alone break even, we would lose everything!
The enmity of cutting off water is irreconcilable, as it affects the common interests of the entire Peach Blossom Village.

"We must find the village chief!"

Li Rongzhou's mind raced. This matter could very well escalate into armed conflict. He looked at his eldest son, his expression hesitant.

Noticing his father's gaze, Li Pingfu followed him closely, "Dad, I'll go with you."

He was both worried about his father's safety and vaguely excited about the real battle.

"Alright, how can a martial artist be without courage? But swords have no eyes, so remember to stick close to me."

at home.

"It's too dangerous for Dad and my older brother to go up like this, especially since it's almost nighttime."

Even martial artists can be at a disadvantage at night in chaotic environments.

But as a member of the village, it's impossible not to go, or I'll be held accountable afterwards!
"No, I have to follow them."

Li Pingcan was really worried.

He didn't charge into battle; he only assisted his father and elder brother when they were in danger. Unexpectedly, Qin Shi still strongly opposed it.

She would rather do it herself than let her young son take the risk, so she decided to put Li Pingcan in solitary confinement.

"Mother, let us go."

Li Ping'an stood in front of his younger brother and said seriously, "If something really happens to Father and my older brother, my brother and I will regret it for the rest of our lives and live a life worse than death."

Candi was exceptionally gifted from a young age. He secretly instructed the Purple-Gold Blood Centipede to protect his father and older brother, and we followed behind, never confronting them head-on.

"Mom, we have to go. This is a difficult time that our whole family needs to get through together!"

Qin's pretty face turned frosty. Without saying a word, she turned around and picked up an axe.

"Come on, I'll go with you! Anyone who dares to harm my husband and children, I'll fight them to the death!"

…………

Led by the old village chief, the excited villagers of Peach Blossom Village, holding torches and hoes, arrived in Peach Leaf Village in a grand procession.

Taoye Village wasn't stupid; they had already sent people to guard the village. When the man saw that things were not going well, he called on the village chief and the able-bodied men, and they formed a large, orderly group, creating a standoff.

"Old Li, what are you planning to do with so many people?"

The village chief of Taoye Village spoke in an unfriendly tone.

The old village chief took a small step back, shielding the able-bodied men in front of him, before feeling at ease.

With his old bones, wouldn't it be like he's just offering himself up as food if he went to the front?

Hearing the village chief's question, he replied calmly, "Do you need someone to remind you of the despicable things your village has done? Releasing the stream water now is not only an encroachment on your land, but we'll let this matter go!"

"Bullshit! This stream is in our village, so it's ours!"

Since Village Chief Fang dared to do it, he should dare to take responsibility for it.

This year's drought means that if the stream were opened, more than half of the peach trees in their village would probably die!

Such a conflict of interest is enough to drive people to fight tooth and nail.

After exchanging hundreds of insults, someone from Peach Leaf Village suddenly raised their hand, a gesture that triggered everyone's tense nerves.

"Those shameless Peach Leaf Village are going to resort to dirty tricks! Let's get them!"

A shout, like a bomb, exploded.

With one stroke of the hoe, bright red blood splattered before their eyes, and everyone's eyes turned red!

Under Zhou Enxian's protection, the old village chief ran shakily in the opposite direction. After delivering the old village chief to a safe place, Zhou Enxian returned to the battlefield to search for the martial artists of Taoye Village.

“Pingfu, stay close to me, let’s stand shoulder to shoulder. Don’t rush ahead rashly. Your mother and your younger brother are still behind us.”

Holding the pistol his wife had given him, Li Rongzhou whispered his instructions.

The biggest difference between him and the villagers is that he is willing to work hard, but he will not abandon his family for money or profit.

A peach tree may wither and die, but one's wife and children cannot be lost. With these concerns come scruples, leading to more cautious actions.

Li Pingfu nodded emphatically, wiping the sweat from his palms.

With his father around, he felt less timid in his first battle and more excited, his eyes fixed on the front.

"boom!"

"Pfft!"

"Crack!"

"what!"

The sounds of hoes and axes clashing were incessant. Li Rongzhou kept his eyes and ears open, kicking over a young man who was charging at him with a howling voice. He then quickly withdrew, maintaining a distance from the villagers—a villager who was in a bloodthirsty frenzy might just stab you in the back.

Li Pingfu, with his Black Tiger Kung Fu, was agile and fierce. Some fools thought he was easy to bully, but ended up getting punched so hard they saw stars.

'In actual combat, it doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined.'

With this in mind, Li Pingfu did not let his guard down, but he still underestimated the malice of people. A hunter's bow and arrow were aimed at him from afar!

"Shh!"

In the chaotic brawl, the arrows coming from afar were hard to catch. As the gray-feathered arrow grew larger and larger in his pupils, Li Pingfu instinctively stared blankly!

"Pingfu!" Li Rongzhou leaped over the ground, ready to block the arrow with his hand.

"Hoohoo!"

A sudden gust of wind swept in, causing the rapidly approaching arrow to flutter and narrowly miss Li Rongzhou's arm.

"I was almost killed!"

Li Pingfu's heart was pounding violently; that moment had felt like an eternity, leaving him completely unable to react.

This is the real battlefield, where you can show off your skills one second and be attacked from the shadows the next!
Cold sweat poured down his back, but Li Pingfu seemed to come alive. He took out the slingshot from his waist, squinted at the direction from which the arrow came, and flicked a stone!
"Where did this arrogant brat come from? How could a slingshot possibly hit me from this distance?"

The hunter with the bow snorted, but what he was thinking about was the strange wind he had just caught. He was experienced and could judge the distance the arrow would deviate based on the strength of the wind, and adjust his aim in advance.

We were fully prepared, but we still messed up!

However, before he could figure it out, the slingshot's stones flew as if aided by the wind, arriving in an instant!

Blood gushed from his throat!

How can this be?

Is this reasonable? !
That's two hundred paces away. I can't hit you with my deer sinew bow, but you can hit me with your slingshot?

The old hunter, with an incredulous expression, clutched his throat and swayed as he collapsed!

Li Pingfu was stunned when he saw this.

He had just narrowly escaped death, and in a fit of rage, he flicked his wrist, only to find himself hitting the target!
"Killed!"

When Li Pingfu killed someone for the first time, an indescribable feeling of nausea welled up in his heart, just like the shadow of the last blow he received on the way to escape famine.

He swallowed hard, his gaze hardening.

"I am not wrong!"

"If he doesn't die, I will!"

…………

"Killed."

Li Pingcan withdrew the [Dancing Wind] attribute and spun around, his heart surprisingly calm.

Firstly, he was only an assistant, so the impact was not as great as Li Pingfu's, and his feelings of guilt and nausea were not as intense.

Secondly, he has always firmly believed in one principle.

“If the hunter doesn’t die, my brother will die.”

"Anyone who tries to harm my family must die!"
