Shen Mu saw the posture of several people next to him, hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand, protected Yang Ruo behind him, and then stepped forward with his fists and said. "Brothers, please don't be excited, I came here to take a look because I was curious. There is no malice. ”

"There is no malice, so why would you cut down our tree with a dagger?" One of the men said fiercely, and raised the stick he still held in his hand.

Seeing the man's fierce and vicious appearance, Yang Ruo hurriedly pulled down Shen Mu's sleeve and stepped forward. smiled and said, "This big brother, you have misunderstood. We are also in a hurry, so we want to get some bark back, not to destroy your tree maliciously.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was standing on the side and did not speak couldn't help but look at Yang Ruo and asked, "Seeing that you are not poorly dressed, why do you want to peel off the bark of our sacred tree?" If you strip off the bark of these trees, will not our trees live long? ”

Hearing her say this, Yang Ruo concluded that these people didn't know the habits of this tree at all. She asked, "My lord, why do you call these trees sacred trees, and do they have any special use?" If these trees were so precious, you wouldn't let them grow near the riverbank, would you? ”

The man at the head was the man in front of him, whom the boy called an adult.

The people here call him Lord Sado, because he is well-informed, and he has some methods that are different from ordinary people. So the people here trust him very much, and he handles general things.

Of course, it does not include the sphere of influence on the side of the Xiaojinshan Temple, which is managed by other people, and it is completely different forces from this side.

Saduo saw that Yang Ruo was young, but he was so sharp-toothed, and there was an aura in his dark eyes.

He then asked, "What do you mean by that, our own trees, let them grow wherever we want." ”

Yang Ruo couldn't help but smile again: "Then according to the meaning of this adult, the whole world is not the king's land." Every inch of land and every inch of tile here belongs to the emperor. Then I would like to ask you if you should also ask for instructions before stopping us. ”

"Hmph, so clever at a young age, now that you are in our territory, of course we have the final say here." As he spoke, he exuded his majesty.

Yang Ruo didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but he wouldn't be afraid of them, so he said without humility or arrogance: "This lord, we have heard that the trees here can cure diseases. That's why I trekked here, just to get some bark to use to cure diseases and save people. And as far as I know, these palm trees need to remove the outer skin every year to make the tree grow taller and grower.

I see that your trees here are full of branches and leaves, and I must have never pruned them!"

The man who spoke in front of him immediately said fiercely: "How can the holy tree move at will, whoever moves will die." ”

Seeing that the man looked excited, Yang Ruo didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Saduo. Then he said, "My lord, my words are not nonsense. If you do as I say, get off the leaves and the bark and give it to us. We will pay you a certain amount. After a week, the trees will have young leaves, which will grow about an inch next year. ”

The man next to him couldn't help but get anxious when he saw that Sado seemed to be thinking about Yang Ruo's words, and hurriedly said, "Lord Sado, don't listen to this stinky girl's nonsense." Damning the Sacred Tree is to be moved. ”

And when Shen Mu heard Sado's name, his expression really changed, and he hurriedly looked at Sado and said, "May I ask if you are Lord Sado?" ”

Saduo looked at Shen Mu with some displeasure and said, "What's the matter, are you scared?" Admit your mistake now, and I can spare you the death penalty. ”

Yang Ruo heard the words in Sado's mouth, she really wanted to scold her mother, she didn't expect that the people here were so ignorant and so backward in thinking.

With a hint of abnormality in his eyes, Shen Mu stared at Sado and said, "Please answer me, are you Sado, or not." ”

"Bold, you dare to call Lord Sado." At this time, another man immediately said fiercely to Shen Mu. After speaking, he also picked up a long stick in his hand, and hit it down on Shen Mu's face.

Shen Mu turned sideways with a smart body, grabbed and twisted his backhand, and didn't see how hard he worked. But he was already light, twisted the man's hand into a twist, and easily snatched the stick from his hand.

"I don't do it because I don't care about it. But it's not something you ignorant juniors can bully. ”

Shen Mu showed this hand, making several men on the side show a look of fear in their eyes. These people, to put it bluntly, are ordinary villagers here, they have no martial arts, and they have never seen people with strong martial arts, the most powerful one they have ever seen is Sado.

And Shen Mu also took a pose, protecting Yang Ruo behind him, ready to fight with them.

The five men here, although they were a little afraid of Shen Mu's skills. But they relied on the multitude of people, and the Lord Zado was here, and they could not show themselves.

They surrounded Shen Mu and the others, and were about to attack.

But seeing that Sado, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly drank, "Stand down for me." ”

The man on the side didn't understand, and hurriedly said: "Lord Sado, these two people are the first to destroy my sacred tree, and Lord Disrespectful is the last, and he also injured Mula just now, we have to arrest them and teach them a lesson." ”

"Stand down, do you need to say it a second time?" Sado will have a bit of majesty on his face, not angry but mighty.

The five men looked at each other inexplicably, and then silently stepped aside.

This will be more than to look at Shen Mu. "Young man, what name did you just say you wanted?"

Shen Mu is also very good at observing words and feelings, and when he heard those people before, he called him Sado, and when he saw him, he suddenly changed his attitude, and he had already guessed a few points in his heart. He hurriedly saluted Sado and replied, "In Xia Shen Mu, meet Lord Sado." ”

"Ah, you are Shen Mu Shen Xian's nephew? Look at my clumsy eyes. Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. It would take Sado to understand. Why did Shen Mu keep staring in front of him and asked his name.

Shen Mu saw that his guess was confirmed, and the worry in his heart finally fell, and the expression on his face was much looser. He hurriedly said: "A few years ago, I have been hearing my father mention Lord Sado, but there are too many things in the academy, and I have not been able to take the time to come to visit. It's such a coincidence that I don't want to run into it here today. ”

"Dean Shen is okay, I haven't seen him for a long time." Sado also had a hint of joy on his face, the son of the deceased, and the son of his own life-saving benefactor, it was a coincidence that he could meet here.
