"You … you bandits … bandits … in the future … you will … die a horrible death …"
The bearded man clutched his chest as he struggled to raise his head. He stammered to Ye Fan.
"You guys are really blockheads," Ye Fan said to the men. "If we were bandits, you wouldn't be alive now!"
Ye Fan said as he lifted his right leg and stomped heavily on the ground!
Boom …
As Ye Fan stomped on the ground, the entire ground began to tremble!
The earthen building began to shake violently, and the mud walls began to crack. Countless pieces of mud and soil began to fall from the top!
Ye Fan's stomp caused the ground to tremble!
This time, he didn't use spiritual power, but brute force!
As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't reason with him.
In front of this group of idiotic blockheads, he could only show them a trick to prove that the two of them were not bandits.
The reason was simple. Bandits didn't have the same ability as him.
When the ground returned to normal and the dust gradually dissipated, the men were dumbfounded.
At this time, their hair was disheveled and their faces were covered in mud. They were so dirty that they looked no different from donkeys.
They were lying there in a daze with their mouths half open. They were dumbfounded and looked like statues made of yellow mud!
They had seen people with great strength and astonishing strength, but they had never seen such an expert like today!
Just one stomp and the ground shook.
Who else could do such a thing except for immortals?
"Esteemed Immortals, this lowly one had eyes but failed to see and offended Immortals. Please forgive me!"
The bearded man was the first to recover and kowtowed to the two of them.
After he took the lead, the rest of the strong men immediately followed suit.
"Immortals, please spare our lives …"
Everyone knelt down and begged for mercy.
"What? Do you believe that we're not bandits now? "Ye Fan looked at the men kneeling in front of him and asked.
The men shook their heads and kowtowed continuously.
"We're not bandits, nor are we immortals. We're just guests who have come to stay here," Akatsuki said to the men. "Stop kneeling and get up."
The men raised their heads and looked at Shangyue Hongji, then at Ye Fan, as if they didn't believe her.
One of them moved like lightning, leaving behind afterimages, while the other had boundless strength, causing the mountains to shake and the earth to tremble!
If they weren't immortals, then what could they be?
"I told you to get up, didn't you hear me?" Ye Fan asked without even looking up.
Everyone shuddered and immediately stood up from the ground.
Compared to the veiled Akatsuki, they were more afraid of Ye Fan.
"Find us a clean room, then prepare a table of food and wine for us and send it to our room."
Ye Fan said coldly as he waved his hand at the wooden door of the earthen building.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Three streaks of golden light flashed past, and three shimmering golden leaves appeared on the wooden door of the earthen building!
The golden leaves were inserted directly into the wooden door!
"Yes … yes …" The bearded man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Ye Fan in a trembling voice, "Please … please come with me …"
He extended his hand toward the two of them as he spoke.
Ye Fan didn't refuse and stepped into the earthen building.
Akatsuki followed closely behind him.
Soon, the bearded man led the two of them to an extremely spacious bedroom.
The bedroom was a suite, and it was clean and tidy. Although it wasn't as luxurious as the rooms in large inns, it was still very unique.
Elk heads were hung on the smooth earthen walls, and they looked extremely majestic. The wide chair was covered with a colorful tiger hide, giving it a domineering appearance. The bed was covered with an embroidered quilt of mandarin ducks playing in water, and it was stacked neatly. An exquisite white tea set with blue flowers was placed on the tea table, and there was not even a speck of dust on it.
"Esteemed guests, this is the best room in this shop. I wonder if you … are satisfied with it …"
The bearded man asked the two of them carefully, not even daring to raise his head.
After what had just happened, he was completely convinced by the two of them, so he was naturally very respectful and attentive.
Ye Fan ignored the bearded man and walked directly into the room.
He looked around the room a few times before turning to give Akatsuki a meaningful glance.
Akatsuki understood and nodded lightly.
"We'll take this room. You can go now," Akatsuki said to the bearded man.
"Yes … yes …"
The bearded man felt as if he had been granted amnesty and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Ye Fan coldly called out to the bearded man.
The bearded man shivered and turned around.
"Sir … Sir, do you have any other orders?" The bearded man shouted and asked respectfully.
"Bring up a few buckets of hot water, I want to take a bath." Ye Fan said.
"Yes … yes … this little one understands. This little one will do it now …"
The bearded man hurriedly said and turned to leave.
Not sure if it was because he was afraid or anxious, but when he was leaving, the bearded man slipped and almost fell on his face.
"Hahaha …."
After Akatsuki closed the door, Ye Fan suddenly burst out laughing!
"Pfft …."
Akatsuki also couldn't help but laugh.
The two of them had indeed frightened this group of burly men.
"Your move just now could be said to be a stroke of genius. It scared this group of men out of their wits." Akatsuki said with a smile.
"Making them afraid of us is only good for us." Ye Fan said as he slowly walked to the window and opened it to look outside.
In the courtyard, those burly men were sweating profusely as they started a fire to cook, cutting meat and stir-frying vegetables. They were extremely busy.
Towards these two mysterious guests, they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
"It must be hard on these uncouth men to prepare food for us." Looking at the lively scene outside the window, Akatsuki said with a smile.
"I just don't know how good their skills are." Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Won't we know when we try it later?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
"Whatever. It's better to have something to eat than nothing." Ye Fan said and closed the window again.
The two of them took off their cloaks and sat on the wide tiger skin chair to rest.
Xiao Zhao, who was transformed into a little colorful dog, ran around the room with a curious expression.
Knock knock knock …
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Akatsuki put on her veil again and said.
The door was opened.
Eight strong men entered in a single file.
There were five men in front of him, each holding a tray, and each tray had two steaming hot stir-fried dishes on it.
The three men behind each held two wooden buckets, and inside the wooden buckets were clean and clear hot water.
"Two distinguished guests, these dishes were made by us eight brothers using the mountain goods that we usually hunt. We don't know if they are to your liking." The burly man with the curly beard said to the two of them, and signaled the others to put the ten dishes on the table.
The other men poured the hot water in their hands into the bathtub behind the screen.
"These dishes were all made by you?" Looking at the fragrant dishes on the table, Akatsuki was a little surprised.
"These are all home-cooked dishes. If there is anything that is not to your liking, please forgive us." The burly man with the curly beard said to Akatsuki respectfully.
"Eight brothers? Are you all blood brothers? "Ye Fan asked the burly man with the curly beard.
"Sir is right. We are all blood brothers." The burly man with the curly beard picked up the wine jar, and respectfully poured wine for Ye Fan, and said.
"Why are there only eight of you brothers? Where are your parents? "Akatsuki asked.
"Killed by the mountain bandits." The burly man with the curly beard put down the wine jar, pursed his lips, and whispered.
After hearing this, Ye Fan frowned.
No wonder they suspected that he and Akatsuki were sent by the mountain bandits to scout. It turned out that once bitten, twice shy.
While thinking, he picked up the wine cup, put it under his nose, and sniffed a few times.
He was checking whether the wine was drugged.
As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. These details could not be sloppy.
Although he was now immune to poison, he still had to make sure that these people did not have the intention to harm him.
The wine was mellow, and there was no problem.
It seemed that what the burly man said was not false.
"What happened at that time?" Ye Fan took a sip of the wine and asked the burly man with the curly beard.
"To tell you the truth, we were originally ten brothers and sisters. In addition to us eight brothers, there were two older sisters." The burly man with the curly beard looked up at Ye Fan, and said, "More than ten years ago, there was a famine here. There was not a single drop of rain, and there was no harvest. In order to fill our stomachs, us eight brothers carried bows and arrows to the mountains to hunt, leaving the two older sisters at home to take care of our parents. In the end …"
"In the end what?" Akatsuki asked.
"When we came back … when we came back …" At this point, the burly man with the curly beard's eyes reddened, and he choked on his words.
"When we came back, the village had been ransacked by the bandits," the middle-aged man continued, "Not only did the bandits rob our family of half a bag of rations, but they also ruined our two older sisters. The two elders tried their best to protect them, but in the end, they were killed by the bandits. In shame and anger, the two older sisters hit the wall and died …"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he lowered his head and wiped his tears.
The rest of the men also lowered their heads, and their eyes reddened.
"From then on, us eight brothers made a vow that if we did not take revenge, we would not marry, and we would not be human!" The middle-aged man looked up at Ye Fan, and said, "Because of this, we gathered together and opened this inn. Because of this, we misunderstood our two esteemed guests."
Crack!
The wine cup in Ye Fan's hand was crushed in an instant, and the fragments scattered everywhere!
"Bastard!" Akatsuki clenched her fists, and said through gritted teeth!
The men were frightened by Ye Fan's actions, and they immediately stopped crying.
"Have those bandits been punished?" Akatsuki asked the men.
The burly man with the curly beard shook his head.
"You didn't seek revenge?" Akatsuki frowned, and asked in return.
"They had the advantage in numbers, and they took over the mountain. Even the government couldn't do anything about it. How could us eight brothers seek revenge? Sigh … "
The burly man with the curly beard shook his head and sighed.
