Yang Lin Li Yuyao works

Chapter 69: Where is Yang Lin?

    

.At Liu the landowner's house, one had to work seven hours a day. Work began at sunrise and lasted until sunset. When taking a break, one would be cursed by the steward, or even beaten.And Yang Lin o...Early in the morning, Yang Lin felt inexplicably uneasy.

After dinner, he equipped the newly forged parts onto the crossbows with the women.

With this latest batch, we now have seventeen crossbows and three hundred crossbow bolts!

Xia Qi, Xia Ba, and Xiao Jiu finally had their own crossbows. The rest were put away by Yang Lin in a cabinet.

Crossbows are extremely lethal and will eventually be equipped to the guard unit.

However, the Guard Unit was only recently established. Equipping them with such powerful weapons at this point might not be a good thing.

Yang Lin plans to distribute this batch of crossbows over a period of time.

Little Nine held the ledger and reported yesterday's progress.

Yesterday, the tofu factory produced 500 blocks of tofu, 300 catties of bean curd, and sold ten buckets of medicinal water. The tofu skin has been successfully made, and the fermented bean paste and soy sauce are still in the brewing process.

The brick kiln produced 3,000 bricks and 500 tiles. Of these, 180 were scrapped, and the green bricks were not yet the right color.

"

The cement kiln produced 120 barrels of cement, Gao Da Zhuang said today's output could still be increased.

"

The construction of the new furnace in the smelting workshop is more than halfway done. Shunzi uncle guaranteed that it will be completed in three days.

"Over at the design workshop, the tools and materials for papermaking are almost complete. But Jing said that sourcing raw materials and dealing with the details still presents some problems, and he needs some more time."

“The new recruits managed to haul three trips of coal from Old Black Mountain yesterday. However, the downhill route hasn't been repaired yet, so land transport is still quite slow. Once it's loaded onto ships, though, it only takes less than an hour to get here.”

As for the road construction team, over a hundred meters have already been completed at the east end of the village. At most, it will take two more days for the road to be finished at the east end of the village.

Meanwhile, on the main road outside Dongtou Village, Heihǔ led his bandits galloping through the dust.

"Tiger Brother, the front is Relying on the Mountain Village!" the Second Master shouted.

Heihu said coldly, "This Yang Lin is quite capable. Don't underestimate him. When we charge into the village later, just grab someone at random and find out where Yang Lin is. We can then take him by surprise!"

"Yes!"

The bandits shouted loudly.

However, just as they were on the verge of seeing Mount Relying Village, they saw a crowd of people outside the village entrance, each holding shovels and spades, gathered at the road.

"Stop!"

"What's going on Did the news leak"

Black Tiger furrowed his brows.

They traveled all the way from the county town without stopping at any villages along the way, just to avoid alarming anyone.

It seemed like the other party was already prepared and waiting for them.

At a glance, there were at least forty or fifty commoners holding tools!

Although they are ruthless killers with blood on their hands, if so many people rebel against them, it would be a great inconvenience for them.

The Third Master said, "Tiger Brother, I feel like they're not waiting for us, but rather repairing the road."

"Road repair"

The black tiger clamped down on the reins, furrowing his brow in contemplation.

As a result, this really is!

The road behind those common people was clearly wider, flatter, and made of compacted yellow soil covered with sand. It was even better than the roads in the county town!

The villagers waited there, they probably only saw them and stopped.

Damn, it turns out they're repairing the road. Scared the crap out of me!

"What in the world are they doing building roads in this remote village There's no need for it!"

The bandits were all surprised.

Black Tiger, however, coldly said: "Since someone is here, why not ask about Yang Lin's whereabouts"

"Yes!"

The bandits galloped on horseback, continuing their advance.

At this moment, the villagers repairing the road were also observing the bandits and discussing them in hushed tones.

"Aren't they bandits"

"No way, Yang Lin caught so many just the other day. Dare any bandits come to our mountain village""That's right, we've seen bandits before, but never ones riding horses!"

"That's right, even the county magistrate's swift riders don't have this many horses. I reckon these must be soldiers from the regional government."

"Oh oh, they're coming, make way, don't let them bump into each other!"

The villagers didn't know who these people were, and they just stared at each other in bewilderment.

Not until the Black Tiger arrived with his men and the villagers felt the aura of banditry emanating from them, along with their fierce attire, did they realize something was amiss. Fear and unease crept onto their faces.

The second-in-command rode on horseback, flicking his whip with a snap. He stammered and said, "We, we are the brave men of Black Wind Mountain. Today, we, we came here not to rob houses, we only want Yang Lin!"

He stuttered when he spoke, but no one dared to laugh.

"Listen up, you bastards! All of you, listen good. Tell me where Yang Lin is, and I'll let you live!"

A pair of sinister eyes scanned the crowd.

The villagers were dumbfounded.

He really is a bandit! He's even the most powerful Black Wind Mountain bandit from Jianghe County, as the legends say!

And he even came looking for Yang Lin!!

The villagers looked at me, I looked at them, and no one spoke a word.

"Hee hee."

Heihe Tiger strode forward, letting out a cold sneer and speaking in a chilling voice, "Not a word Do you really think I'm a vegetarian"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his whip.

"Slap!" A whip cracked and landed on an old man beside him.

The old man staggered back after being struck by the whip.

"Bang!"

The black tiger drew his sword and swung it at the old man.

"Ah—"

The old man let out a scream, fell to the ground, blood seeping through his thin clothes, his body twitched twice, then went still.

Silence reigns supreme!

The villagers all widened their eyes, their gaze filled with anger and fear.

Liu Lao Han was one of the few people in the village who had lived to sixty years old, and now he was killed by bandits

At this moment, the villagers were all taken aback and instinctively retreated backward.

Nobody expected these bandits to be so ruthless!

Seeing the villagers afraid, the black tiger was very pleased. He shook the blood off his blade and spoke coldly, "Now can you speak"

However, the villagers only retreated and no one spoke.

Although they were afraid, would they betray Yang Lin and tell his whereabouts

They can't do it!

"Heh heh, so you still have a sense of honor Not bad, this old man likes it!"

"Alright then, when we get to the village, I'll ask them one by one. I want to see if Yang Lin will come out before I kill you all!"

At this time, a young villager suddenly shouted: "Everyone run, quickly go back and tell Yang Lin!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he turned and ran back.

The villagers awoke as if from a dream, and rushed about in all directions.

"Run Ha ha, I'll see you try!"

The black tiger remained calm and collected, drawing a bow from the bag on his horse's back.

Drawing back his bow and aiming at the young man who was desperately running into the village, a cruel smirk appeared on Black Tiger's lips.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow had just left the bow, and in a flash, the young man who was still running for his life stumbled and fell to the ground.

The bandits burst into laughter, as if they had expected this all along……re still dazed."Rock paper scissors"“Is that the water used to make tofu”"Yes, yes, yes. You can't make tofu without stone water, and only my husband and sister know the recipe for stone water.""But t...
