Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 423

"Don't scare them, they're all unfortunate people."

In fact, Lu Yu noticed when those little girls came over just now.

The clothes they were wearing were all worn-out. Fortunately, it's summer now, otherwise they would probably have been frozen.

Their complexion was also not good, each of them looking emaciated with a waxen yellow face, clearly a result of long-term malnutrition.

If they were able to pretend, when they opened the stewed chicken just now, Lu Yu really didn't know how high their acting skills had to be to pretend not to salivate.

Clearly, life in Longya Village is not great either.

"Oh."

Ling Tianxin nodded, feeling a bit wronged as she sat back in her seat.

After she sat back down, Lu Yu casually pointed at a little girl who seemed to be the leader.

"If you give us these things, what will you eat tonight?"

"We... will probably have to go hungry."

The little girl pouted with a bit of grievance, occasionally glancing at the table with her eyes.

She really wanted to eat.

"In that case, you can take these and eat them. We have our own food."

Lu Yu waved his hand at them.

He always carried some food and supplies in his storage bag, just in case.

This time, he had to go on a long journey, so naturally he brought a lot of food.

Why bother fighting over food with these unfortunate little girls?

But the little girl didn't dare to just eat the food.

"Forget it, you can go down first. Oh, if it's convenient, can you call your village chief over?"

"Okay..."

The few little girls felt as if they had been granted amnesty, quickly nodded and stood up before running away.

Looking at this group of starving little girls, the one who probably empathized the most was Xiaoyu.

Before meeting Lu Yu, she also went hungry every day, and food was a luxury for her.

So when she saw Lu Yu let those little girls go, she got up and came behind him, gently tapping his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I didn't plan to make things difficult for them."

Lu Yu felt her intentions and gently patted her hand.

When he touched her hand, he realized that Xiaoyu's skin had become very good after this period of recuperation.

It felt smooth to the touch, really nice.

"Cough cough..."

To cover up the awkwardness, he quickly coughed twice. Of course, Xiaoyu didn't even think that he would think of anything unhealthy.

"If you want to eat something good tonight, I'm afraid it's not possible. Have some dry rations and wash up early to rest."

"Alright, it's a good deal for Longya Village."

Ling Tianxin didn't necessarily have to eat something good, and Mingxin had often endured hardships during her training with her master.

So eating some dry rations for a day was nothing for them.

When everyone was eating casually, Xiaoyu secretly ran out of the main hall.

Lu Yu did see her leave, but he didn't stop her.

She came from a poor family, and seeing the situation in the village was probably more distressing for her than anyone else.

So it was better for him to go.

They had just finished eating and were preparing to rest when suddenly they heard a commotion outside.

Lu Yu furrowed his brows slightly. It seemed that this village was even more troublesome than he had imagined.

A village like this, and they still wanted to rob it?

He reassured the other women to be careful and on guard, then he took the lead and walked out of the main hall towards the direction where the noise was coming from.

"What's wrong with your Dragon Tooth Village? Don't plan on repaying the money, huh? It's only right to repay debts, and if you don't repay, we won't be polite!"

"What politeness? When have you ever been polite to us!"

"That's right, you took so much food from us before and it still wasn't enough. Do you want to starve us all to death?"

"Let's fight them. These guys don't want to give us a way out. Let's fight..."

Seeing the young people in the village getting excited and ready to resist, the female village chief on the side couldn't sit still any longer.

"Everyone, calm down and listen to me..."

She was at least the strongest person in the entire village, at the Foundation Building stage. After releasing her spiritual power, everyone closed their mouths.

"Innkeeper Ma, we will definitely repay the money we owe you. But the usurious interest was agreed upon when we signed the contract, and the amount he brought back doesn't match what you said! Now, we give you two choices: either accept our count, or fight!"

"Heh, Village Chief Wei, are you trying to cheat us? Haven't you heard of anyone cheating Chenyue Sect before?"

Among the people demanding repayment, the leader, a chubby man, looked at the female village chief with a cold smile on his face.

As he spoke, he flipped through the account book in his hand.

"I don't care who borrowed the money, but it's written here that Dragon Tooth Village is responsible for repayment. So I've come to Dragon Tooth Village to collect the debt. Is there a problem?"

"No problem."

The thugs echoed one after another.

Lu Yu carefully observed from the side.

It seemed that the people from Chenyue Sect had come prepared with force. The four people brought by the chubby man were all at the advanced stage of the Foundation Building stage.

Village Chief Wei alone against the four of them, it was likely to end badly.

Moreover, she had already dissipated her cultivation during the day, so how much strength she had left was unknown.

"Village Chief Wei, do you think we're blind? That big carriage is right there. You don't have money? Who would believe it!"

The chubby man pointed towards the courtyard.

The direction he pointed was exactly where Lu Yu and the others had sat in the carriage before.

Although the carriage driver had been killed, the carriage had been brought back, and now it had become evidence of Dragon Tooth Village's wealth.

Seeing that both sides were about to take action, Lu Yu took a few steps forward.

"Are you from Chenyue Sect?"

"Of course, I'm Bai Jingtian from Chenyue Sect. Brother, you don't look like someone from Dragon Tooth Village, do you?"

"Indeed, I'm brought here by them."

Lu Yu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingtian's fat face immediately showed a pleased expression.

"Village Chief Wei, take a look. The facts are right in front of you. How much did Dragon Tooth Village earn from this deal? If you have money, you should repay it. Is there any reason not to?"

"We didn't rob him. He came with us voluntarily."

Village Chief Wei wanted to argue, but Bai Jingtian didn't listen at all.

"Village Chief Wei, this is getting boring. I don't have time to argue with you. Either repay the money or give this place to Chenyue Sect. Don't blame me for not giving you a choice. Hurry up and choose."

Bai Jingtian looked smugly at Lu Yu, then turned his gaze to Village Chief Wei.

Now, Village Chief Wei was in a dilemma.

Her current condition was really bad. If she fought, she really couldn't beat the thugs brought by the other side.

But if she didn't fight... Suddenly, she saw Lu Yu standing on the side watching the commotion, and her eyes lit up.
