040 Horse Thief (Collect)
In all fairness, this meal is not particularly delicious, and it can't even be better than Wang Fatzi's meal, but it's already very satisfying to be able to eat such a meal while going out and working hard to farm monsters (well, it doesn't seem to be very hard).

Lu Haikong is undoubtedly happy during the meal, but at this time, his happiness will soon be disturbed.
It's not that group of villagers who disturb Lu Haikong, this group of honest guys, who dare to provoke Lu Haikong there, it's too late to hide, if you accidentally provoke Lu Haikong, it won't be enough.
When Lu Haikong was happily eating, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves, hearing this sound, Lu Haikong, who was thinking about getting a horse not long ago, suddenly became a little interested, and looked up while eating.
In the blink of an eye, twelve strong men on horseback stopped in front of the entrance of this village.
These twelve knights gave Lu Haikong a very wonderful feeling, and vaguely, Lu Haikong seemed to be able to directly recognize these guys with knives hanging from their waists and fierce faces definitely having a similar profession to themselves, and they should be horse thieves or something.
This can be corroborated by the anger and horror on the faces of the villagers when they saw these twelve guys.
At this time, I have to talk about the current location of Lu Haikong, although he is also at the entrance of the village, but the villagers are afraid of cold his food, so they arrange his location in a slightly remote place with fences on both sides of the village.
So at this time, Lu Haikong, who was eating, could see the twelve horse thieves opposite for the first time, but those horse thieves didn't notice Lu Haikong for the first time, because their attention was attracted by the villagers over there.
"Looks like it's not good." Lu Haikong muttered, took another piece of chicken and threw it in his mouth to eat, and looked at the big drama that seemed to be about to be staged at the entrance of the village without pressure.
"Yo, I know that the uncles are coming today, right, waiting at the entrance of the villagers one by one." Among the twelve horse thieves, the leading one had a scar on the corner of his eye, and he was angry and teased the leading guy at a glance.
"Leader Ma, I remember that our monthly money was only paid at the beginning of the month, why did you come back here?" What Lu Haikong expected was that in the face of these twelve horse thieves, the attitude of the old village chief was actually a little tougher than when facing Lu Haikong.
"Can't you come here if you're fine? You uncles from the village can come if you want to, and do you still need your consent to leave if you want to? ā
The leader of the horse thieves sneered, and was about to drive his horse into the village, but before he could set foot in the village, he saw that all the young men in the village had already picked up the hoes, and as long as the horse thief dared to take a step forward, they would dare to fight with him.
"Yo, you guys are still energetic, don't you dare to let Uncle Ben in!"
"Uncle Ma, you have something to say outside, there is no need to come in."
"What if I have to go in?" The horse thief leader's face sank, and he snorted coldly
"Humph! No matter who it is, no outsiders can enter our village, even if the Xianbei people come, our village has never let them swagger in, surnamed Ma, we give you monthly money every month not because we are afraid of you, but we don't want to have trouble with you, if you have to go to our village today, then you have to be ready to kill and be killed! ā
The old village chief seemed to be a different person at this time, quite tough and domineering, and the villagers behind him were also full of righteous indignation, their faces full of excitement.
The common people of Bingzhou are not compared to other places, here is located on the border of the empire, the public security environment is quite poor, not only there are mountain thieves and horse thieves and the like, every winter there are often small-scale Xianbei or other ethnic minorities looting, so the people of Bingzhou are particularly strong, the villagers are martial and brave men, any guy who wants to destroy their homeland they dare to do with him.
This point, the leader of the horse thieves also knows, if he wants to enter the village, it is basically equivalent to stepping on the bottom line of such a villager, and the battle is basically inevitable.
Although the leader of the horse thieves was very disdainful of the combat effectiveness of these villagers, he also knew that it was still a headache for these guys to really go crazy, and the main purpose of his coming here today was not to enter the village, but to extort a sum of money was his biggest purpose.
"It's okay if you don't let me in, hand over ten gold, hand over ten gold, Lao Tzu will leave with the brothers immediately!"
"Ten gold? We gave ...... the monthly money a month ago."
"Don't talk nonsense, either give money, or I'll come to see what kind of combat power you guys can have with a flat hoe!"
The leader of the horse thieves directly interrupted the old village chief's plan to discuss, and roared with a hideous and crazy face, as if he was about to turn into a monster that chose people to devour.
In fact, although the old village chief is very tough in the face of horse thieves, they are honest villagers after all, not outlaws, and they still want to solve this kind of thing by peaceful means in their hearts when fighting with horse thieves.
Lu Haikong, who was on the side, saw the struggling expression on the old village chief's face, and basically knew that he was going to compromise, so he immediately lost any interest in this so-called big joy, and turned around and continued to eat the meal in front of him.
It's not that Lu, Hai and Air are cold-blooded, watching those honest villagers being bullied and not helping them.
And Lu Haikong knew very well that even if he stood up to help those villagers, those villagers would not appreciate it, and would even complain about Lu Haikong.
These villagers have their own rules of survival, which also include bowing to the strong, which is very aggrieved and aggrieved, but life, especially the life of the people at the bottom, is like this.
Sometimes, you have to make some compromises to survive with difficulty, as for whether you are happy or not, is it so important in front of life?
Lu Haikong's action this time may be able to repel this group of horse thieves for them, but next time, the next time the villagers without the protection of Lu, Haikong and the air will face these horse thieves again, at that time it will be impossible for them to have the current compromise.
So the land, sea and air acted as if they didn't see it throughout the whole process, sitting in their own places and eating their own food honestly.
But sometimes, if you don't mess with others, don't take other people's troubles on yourself, and the troubles will come to you by yourself.
A breeze blew, and the fragrance of chicken soup in front of Lu Haikong drifted along the wind to the horse thieves not far from the entrance of the village.
The leader of the horse thieves sniffed, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "What smells so good?" ā
Following the aroma of chicken soup, the leader of the horse thieves turned his head towards the location of Lu Haikong, and almost immediately saw the figure of Lu Haikong, as well as the table in front of Lu Haikong was quite a sumptuous meal, and the leader of the horse thieves suddenly pounced from this land and sea air as if he had discovered a new continent.
