Chapter 5： No money

At night, Liujia Village was very quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs.

In a wooden house, a thin old man was sitting in the room, leisurely eating a plate of fried soybeans, and suddenly looked out of the house vigilantly, "Who?"

"it's me."

"Boy Gu?"

When the old man heard this familiar voice, he got up to open the door and wondered, "Didn't you already leave?"

It was Gu Yang who came. He took advantage of the caravan to spend the night and rushed back to Liujia Village overnight.

With his current strength, the rugged mountain road is like walking on flat ground.

It took him less than an hour to get back to Liujiacun.

Gu Yang said with a serious face, "Old man Liu, I have something to do with you."

This old man is the head of the village, and his name is Old Man Liu. When he was young, he once wandered outside and was the most knowledgeable person in the village. He is also the only literate person in the village.

Gu Yang spent the longest time with him in Liujiacun for the past two years, mainly to learn to read.

Old man Liu picked up two fried soybeans and threw them into his mouth, chewing them loudly, and said, "It looks like it's not a big deal."

Gu Yang said, "A group of thieves are coming to Liujia Village. These people are ruthless. You'd better take the villagers to evacuate the village and hide in the mountains."

Old man Liu stared at Gu Yang with his cloudy eyes for a while, grabbed the last handful of fried soybeans and threw them into his mouth, stood up, took out a broken gong from the corner, walked out, and banged hard.

Gu Yang thought that it would be very difficult to persuade him. After all, just by his own words, he would urgently evacuate the village to the mountains. Such a decision was not so easy to make.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Liu didn't say a word of nonsense.

Such trust moved him very much.

…

When it was almost dawn, Gu Yang returned to the place where the caravan spent the night.

Lao Gao and the others knew that he was away last night, but no one dared to ask where he went.

For them, it is not bad that this master can come back.

When the caravan was about to set off, Gu Yang finally had time to turn on the system.

[Do you use a life simulator? Use once, consumes 50 gold. 】

The price has gone up again!

"So, the price of using the simulator is related to my realm. The higher the realm, the more money it consumes."

Gu Yang thought to himself.

The last price increase was after he broke through to the ninth rank.

Now that he has broken through to the eighth rank, the price has risen again.

He took a deep breath and clicked "Yes!"

[At the age of twenty-two, you became an eighth-rank martial artist and left Liujia Village with the caravan. On the way, you encountered a group of bandits. You took action to deal with them and diverted to Wangjiagou. 】

[One month later, you went to Phoenix City, and received the appreciation of the county magistrate and became his long-time follower. 】

[At the age of twenty-five, you went back to visit Liujia Village and found that the village had been razed to the ground. The villagers were all killed three years ago. You are determined to find the murderers and avenge them. 】

[At the age of 30, you found out that the murderer back then was a child of the Liu family. One day, the county magistrate invited an important person from the Liu family. He discovered the murderous intention hidden in your heart. The next day, you were poisoned by the county magistrate. end this life. 】

After Gu Yang watched this simulation, his heart sank.

This time, he did not provoke the Liu family's hunting team, but let the villagers of Liu's village escape into the mountains ahead of time. Still can't escape.

Why did the Liu family have to kill Liu family village?

If possible, he really didn't want to provoke the Liu family's behemoth.

However, now it seems that he can't escape at all.

After so many simulations, he died at the hands of the Liu family every time. It is simply a mortal enemy.

[At the end of the simulation, you can keep one of the following items. 】

[One, the realm of martial arts at the age of thirty. 】

[The experience of martial arts at the age of 20 and 30. 】

[Three, the wisdom of life at the age of 30. 】

Gu Yang didn't think much about it and chose the second one.

As long as the realm does not improve, then choosing martial arts experience is naturally the most cost-effective.

Immediately, countless martial arts, swordsmanship, boxing techniques, movement techniques, etc. appeared in his mind. Moreover, they are all extremely skilled, as if they are handy.

This is the result of his eight years of hard training in this simulated life.

At this point, he truly possesses the strength of an eighth-rank martial artist.

Gu Yang glanced at his balance, only 15 taels left, not enough money.

He still doesn't know if he can beat the Liu family's hunting team with his current strength.

To be on the safe side, I ended up doing a few more simulations.

But that's right, what should I do?

He looked at Lao Gao and the others, and was thinking about asking to borrow it from them.

Suddenly, he felt someone approaching and shouted, "Who?"

Lao Gao's businessmen and a group of buddies reacted very quickly, pulling out their weapons and looking around vigilantly.

"it's here."

Soon, a man found the man's hiding place and approached with a weapon, "Come out."

"Don't do it, I have no ill intentions."

A ragged boy raised his hands and got out of the bushes, shouting, "I'm here to warn you, ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, several guys rushed up, twisted the boy's hands, and tied them tightly with ropes.

"It hurts, it hurts... lightly..."

After a while, the young man was brought in front of Gu Yang and held on his knees on the ground.

Everyone could see that this young man's strength was low.

But Lao Gao didn't dare to take it lightly and asked, "Tell me, who are you, why are you sneaking around here?"

"let me go!"

The boy's face flushed and he struggled hard, "I kindly remind you, why do you want to avenge your kindness?"

Lao Gao said coldly, UU Reading "Don't say yes, come here, cut off one of his hands and see if he speaks."

"slow."

At this moment, Gu Yang opened his mouth.

Lao Gao stepped aside and stopped talking.

Gu Yang said, "Give him a pine bang."

The two guys behind the boy looked at Lao Gao, and only loosened the rope for him after being instructed.

Gu Yang said, "You said, you made a special trip to warn you, what's the matter?"

The young man stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and said angrily, "You have already been watched by Guo Shanfeng. If you don't want to die, run away. No matter how late, you all have to die here."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Even Gu Yang, who has never been out of Liujia Village, has heard the reputation of "Crossing the Mountains".

This is a group of bandits who are active in the south of Lianshan. What they do is to rob houses and rob former merchants, and their methods are extremely cruel, not only robbing money, but also killing people.

Everyone who encountered "Crossing the Mountain Wind" was killed, and no one was able to come back alive.

This is the origin of the reputation of this group of bandits. "Crossing the Mountain Wind" is a highly venomous poison, and those who are bitten will surely die. These bandits are as vicious as poisonous snakes.

Lao Gao said excitedly, "Impossible, the cross-mountain wind has always been active in Xiang County, how could it come to Berkshire?"

The young man snorted coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can stay here and wait to die. I don't want to die here."

Lao Gao shouted, "Stop, if you don't make it clear, you want to leave?"

At this moment, with a swish, a sharp arrow flew out from the side and pierced a man's neck. He clutched his neck and fell to the ground in pain.

With this change, everyone understood that it was indeed a bandit.
