Chapter 654: Why Do You Have to Do This

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

By the time the Black Guardian arrived with his men, the black-robed men and the villagers were entangled in a big brawl.

“Everyone, stop at once!”

The Black Guardian shouted angrily, and all the black-robed men stopped what they were doing.

Some of the villagers were still not willing to stop fighting and ended up getting kicked by the Black Guardian to one side.

“Bring back all those who partic.i.p.ated in the riot.”

The black-robed men stepped forward and grabbed the people who had fought. “What right do you have to arrest us? If you guys weren’t so cruel, we wouldn’t have attacked you.” Zhang Dong was still trying to incite the villagers. The Black Guardian stepped forward straightaway and punched him in the face.

Zhang Dong only felt everything go black before his eyes and he pa.s.sed out right away.

Those people were then brought back to the Tiger Base.

Initially, the duty of the black-robed men was only to guard the entry pa.s.s that was Tiger Base, but after this group of people came, Su Ying instructed them to manage the security here. Now that such a thing had happened, it could also be attributed to their poor management.

The Black Guardian’s ominous face was truly terrifying.

After understanding the whole story, the Black Guardian felt that these villagers were clearly being unreasonable.

“Causing trouble for no reason and injuring others. Drag them away and give them 30 strokes with the pole. After that, throw them out of the northern wilderness. They are not allowed to step into the northern wilderness again!” Zhang Dong and the others were indignant when they heard this. “You guys were the ones abusing us as slaves. Now that you’re done using us, you want to burn the bridge after crossing the river. I refuse to swallow this. I won’t swallow this!”

However, the Black Guardian ignored them. He told the black-robed men to gag them and drag them out to receive their beatings.

Many villagers caught wind of the news and ran here to watch. When they saw

Zhang Dong and the others being hit, their expressions were not very pleasant.

“My son! They are trying to beat you to death!

Some relatives even slapped their thighs and wailed loudly when they saw their husbands and sons being beaten.

The villagers were already a little uneasy, and when they heard these people crying, they felt even more unbearable.

Soon, the 30 strokes were completed. Those people were thrown into a cart which was then pulled out of the northern wilderness.

When they saw this, the villagers went up to plead for mercy.

“My Lord, you guys have already beaten them up. Just let them off this time.” “That’s right, my Lord. They were just too tired from working. I beg you to let them off this time.”

The Black Guardian frowned. “This is the rule of the Tiger Base. Since they broke the rules, they should be punished accordingly. When all of you first arrived at the Tiger Base, the City Lord had already made it clear that everything must be done according to the rules here. There will be no exceptions. Send them out.”

The villagers watched helplessly as those people were carted away.

“What should we do? We can’t have any objections in the future?” “That’s true. How can we live like this? Are we going to be their slaves for the rest of our lives? I didn’t commit any crime. I’m a good citizen.”

“Indeed, they are just a bunch of law-breaking evil thugs. They have no humanity.”

“Let’s look for the village chief. We can’t just sit here and wait for death.” After discussing in groups of two or three, the villagers unanimously agreed that they had to come up with a strategy to deal with this and find a way to put control back into their hands.

The Black Guardian was not aware of this goings-on.

After he allowed the villagers to leave, there were only some injured black-robed men and Zhou Xing left in the inner hall.

The two of them had met when Zhou Xing was working by Meng Zi’s side, but they had never interacted before.

The Black Guardian also knew the reason Zhou Xing had been sent to the Tiger Base. However, he didn’t expect Zhou Xing to step forward today.

“There’s nothing else for you to do. Go back.”

Zhou Xing’s old injuries had yet to recover, and he had been beaten up several times in the riot today. As soon as he walked out of the inner hall, he felt a surge of blood gus.h.i.+ng up and vomited a mouthful of blood.

He had just straightened up when things began turning black before his eyes. Just as he was about to collapse, a pair of powerful hands quickly held him up. Zhou Xing weakly raised his head and met the Black Guardian’s two emotionless eyes.

“I pa.s.sed by your house that day and smelled the fish cooked by your mother.” Zhou Xing didn’t know how to react for a while.

The Black Guardian continued, “One fish for one bottle of internal injury medicine.”

Zhou Xing’s lower lip trembled. “Deal!”

Mrs. Zhou had been developing wasteland and farming outside the entire day and had no idea what happened.

She almost fainted when she saw the Black Guardian carrying Zhou Xing on his back. Zhou Xing’s whole body was covered in grime.

“What… what happened? He was fine when he went out this morning!” Mrs. Zhou was on the verge of tears.

“Some people caused trouble and he stepped forward to stop them. In the end, he lost to them.”

Zhou Xing glanced at the Black Guardian with displeasure. He could have just omitted those last few words.

-What should we do? Where are you hurt? Mother will go to the city to look for a doctor for you.”

“There’s a little internal injury, but he will be fine after taking the medicine,” the Black Guardian replied on his own accord.

Zhou Xing didn’t want his mother to run all over the place either. This place wasn’t close to Sky Alpha City after all.

“Mother, I… I’m fine. Black Guardian has medicine. I’ll be fine after taking his medicine.”

Mrs. Zhou looked at the Black Guardian with some distrust. They had fought with the black-robed men before, so why would he think of Zhou Xing’s welfare?

“An equivalent exchange,” the Black Guardian said with a stony face as if he had seen through Mrs. Zhou’s thoughts.

“Exchange what?”

“One braised fish for one bottle of internal injury medicine.

Mrs. Zhou was downright bewildered.

The Black Guardian left the medicine for Zhou Xing and said that he would come to get the fish tomorrow. He wanted a super big one. If he was not satisfied, he would come every day.

Mrs. Zhou was still a little stunned as she held the medicine. She felt that they were involved in some child’s play somehow…

“Mother, give me the medicine.”

Mrs. Zhou’s hands shrank back.

“Can we trust that fellow’s words?”

Zhou Xing’s stomach hurt terribly. “Mother, that medicine was given by the City Lord. You can trust him. If he tries to poison me, you can be thick-skinned and go complain to the City Lord.”

When she heard that she could complain to Su Ying, Mrs. Zhou felt a little more at ease.

“Then… then you take some. Try eating some.’

Zhou Xing was so weak that he couldn’t open his eyes after taking one pill. After his mother helped him lie down, she went out of the house. As soon as she went out, she saw a familiar figure standing outside the courtyard. When the girl saw that Mrs. Zhou had come outside, she subconsciously wanted to avoid Mrs. Zhou.

“Why are you running? I’ve already seen you.

The person could only stop in her tracks and look at Mrs. Zhou worriedly. “Aunt, I… I just heard that Brother Zhou was injured and wanted to… wanted to come over to take a look.”

Mrs. Zhou frowned. “It’s nothing serious. You can go.”

ding Qing hesitated and did not move. When Mrs. Zhou was not paying attention, she suddenly threw a small bundle into the courtyard.

“This… this is something I found in the forest. Aunt, please use this to make some soup for Brother Zhou when he gets better. He was injured too badly previously and damaged his foundation. He needs to recuperate properly.” After Qing Qing finished speaking, she ran away as if she was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would reject her.

She did not even stop when Mrs. Zhou called out to her.

Mrs. Zhou walked over and picked up the bundle on the ground. She opened it and saw that there was a stem of ginseng inside. Judging by its size, it seemed quite old.

“Sigh! Why do you have to do this?”
