Chapter 1070: Violent Folk Customs
Being a robber is an unprofitable business. It can be said that it has accompanied the development of human civilization and has never been eradicated.
For example, those illegal toll stations on highways.
Luoxiadu gathered merchants from the Central Plains and merchants from the Western Regions, which was a big advantage.
Normally there are officers and soldiers on patrol, so of course the sand bandits would not dare to cause trouble. Now that the dust is all over the sky, the officers and soldiers have to huddle in their posts, and these bandits took the opportunity to cause trouble.
The three of them also ran downstairs. At this time, the lobby was full of people, helping to pick up tables, chairs, and benches to block the door. There were also many people holding their luggage uneasily.
The bandits mainly rob businessmen, so they would naturally come to places like inns where businessmen gather first, and it seems that the other party does not intend to give up easily.
The sound of banging on the door gets louder and louder, and eventually it makes people wonder if someone is smashing with a construction hammer outside.
Some strong people rushed up to hold down the tables, chairs and benches blocking the door. Even so, the door bulged and bulged, as if it might be knocked open at any time.
When Jiao Wenlong saw this, he quickly asked the shopkeeper:
"Have the other doors and windows been closed?"
"It's all plugged in. Don't worry, sir. My inn isn't just for a few bandits to come to if they want."
The shopkeeper seems to be very confident, which is also a reassurance for other customers, so everyone should stay calm and don't panic.
But it was immediately slapped in the face.
Amidst the banging on the door, there was a crunching sound, which sounded like the sound of a horse. Then the sound got closer and closer, and then there was a roar, and several people who went up to hold down the tables and chairs were knocked away on the spot.
Mixed with the neighing of horses, a carriage rushed in from outside the door, directly opening a hole in the blocked door.
This was really a slap in the face immediately.
The force of the carriage charging at full speed was beyond human power, and many people were injured like a gourd rolling to the ground.
Yang Yiyi picked up the wheelchair and made a big jump together with Wu Shaoyi to avoid the sudden advance of the carriage. Not to mention Jiao Wenlong, whose lightness skills were even better than Yang Yiyi's.
Then the carriage crashed onto the counter, and you could even see a few coins flying out.
The horse pulling the cart was slashed twice on the buttocks, bleeding profusely. With such a wound, he screamed and fell in the ruins, and he was afraid that he could not get up.
As soon as the door was opened, wind and sand followed one after another. The strong wind mixed with the sand and dust made everyone in the inn have to squint their eyes, and some people simply couldn't open their eyes.
Mixed with the wind and sand, a group of guys wearing gauze scarves and holding swords also rushed in. There was no attempt at persuading them to surrender. They just cut down everyone they saw.
Sand bandits are different from ordinary bandits who rob the road. The latter generally do not do things to perfection. After all, one can still distinguish between a full meal and a full meal.
However, in order to avoid attracting a large army to encircle and suppress them, the sand bandits always directly killed and looted them all. Their level of brutality was comparable to that of a small Japanese boy.
The people close to the door let out several screams and must have been chopped down.
Mainly because Yang Yiyi couldn't open her eyes under such windy and sandy conditions. Li Chengqi gave her a mask, but not glasses to protect her eyes.
Fortunately, Yang Yiyi and the others were standing at the back of the lobby. The bandits had to cut down the group of people in front before they could get Yang Yiyi's turn. The wind and sand pouring into the inn lobby decreased a bit, and Yang Yiyi was finally able to tentatively squint her eyes.
At this time, I saw a dozen people rushing in and fighting with the people in the inn.
There is a saying, anyone who dares to eat a bowl of food like a businessman must have some ability to defend himself, especially when he comes to an unsafe place like the Western Regions. If he doesn't have two brushes, let alone run into robbers, he is afraid that he will be killed halfway. Eaten by wild beasts.
It was unexpected that the door was opened by a carriage, so I was caught off guard. However, after reacting, the guests in the lobby drew out their swords and fought with the bandits. Some of them might be businessmen from the Western Regions. He also used a scimitar inlaid with gems, which looked quite exotic.
The shopkeeper of this inn is definitely not an ordinary person. Most shopkeepers would hide long ago when something like this happens. This shopkeeper picked up the bench on the ground and smashed it on the head of the bandit. He also held the bench with both hands and seemed to follow him. As if violently. The new waiter was stunned.
What does the folk custom mean? (Tactical retreat
Everyone is so brave, of course Yang Yiyi can't do anything wrong.
She took out a quick hand towel and casually wiped the dust on her eyelids, then picked up two maces and went to kill him.
Sand bandits also have some martial arts, which is definitely enough to deal with ordinary people, but compared with Yang Yiyi, it is not necessary.
A merchant from the Central Plains picked up a bench as a shield. He had the bench in one hand and a sword in the other. He was fighting with a sand bandit inextricably. Then he heard a whistling sound of wind. The bandit who was in front of him just now was killed by a dump truck on the spot. Just like Chuang Fei, he flew out against the strong wind.
The most troublesome part now is actually that the wind and sand are too narrow-eyed. The bandits all have face coverings to cover themselves, and no one in the inn is there.
There is a circle of tulle on Yang Yiyi's bamboo hat, which can be used as a face towel, but that thing is in the Sumeru Realm, and Li Chengqi must be present to take it out.
So Yang Yiyi squinted her eyes and rushed into the crowd to kill indiscriminately.
The sandstorm was a little smaller than before, at least it was no longer pitch black, but the light was obviously not enough to see clearly.
Strong winds poured into the inn, the oil lamps had long been blown out, and with the crowds at the door, it was difficult to tell which bandit was the bandit.
Yang Yiyi's choice was simple: rush into the crowd.
She is now dressed in women's clothes, and she can be said to stand out among the inns filled with rough men. In other words, Yang Yiyi cannot recognize which one is a bandit, but the people in the inn must recognize that Yang Yiyi is one of them.
Rush into the crowd. If someone hits you, that's your enemy. Anyone who recognizes Yang Yiyi and doesn't hit you is one of your own.
So, sometimes I really wonder whether Yang Yiyi is smart or stupid, to be able to come up with such a method...
And this method certainly cannot be replicated by others. After all, you have to be beaten before you know who the bandit is. Most people will be dead long after being chopped with a knife.
Yang Yiyi was different. She used her newly learned demon-subduing skills with all her strength, and her whole body was invulnerable. When the bandit's scimitar slashed it, it would only make a crisp sound, as if it had chopped a stone. Yang Yiyi's backhand was like a steel shot. The trick is to let the sand bandits know on the spot that they cannot compete with dump trucks, as they will be sent to another world to be reincarnated!
Since Yang Yiyi couldn't see people clearly and couldn't see the road clearly, Yang Yiyi relied solely on being beaten and listening to the sounds to identify her position in and out of the crowd. She didn't know if she accidentally hurt anyone of her own, but the effect was still very obvious. The inn was in a mess just now. The door was clearly cleared, and few people were still standing.
"Hurry and close the door again!"
The shopkeeper's voice could be heard, and based on the fact that they were bandits at the scene, they would never dare to bypass the border and come to Luoxia Town. There must be more.
Yang Yiyi fumbled around for a while after hearing the words, and happened to pick up a door panel. Just as she was about to insert it back into the door frame, she suddenly saw a large area of light like a torch, dotted with stars, appearing in the misty yellow sand in the distance.
