The bursts of exclamations coming from outside the door woke up everyone in the Xiao family. Then, Xiao Changfu and Xiao Changan both heard the sound and ran into the yard, feeling that the shouting outside the door became even stronger.
"Dad, are these bandits coming to attack our village?" Xiao Changan looked panicked and asked hurriedly towards Mr. Xiao. After all, as a scholar, how had he ever experienced such a scene?
"Don't panic, hurry up and hide all the valuable things in the house, and let the children hide in the house and don't come out." Mr. Xiao's eyes were calm, and he directed Xiao Changan and Xiao Changfu. Then the father and son hurriedly cleared the house
The food was hidden in the cellar, which was a warehouse they used to store goods. I hope the nasty bandits would not discover this place.
Xiao Chu, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Cheng, as the children of the Xiao family, hid in the house and did not dare to come out.
Xiao Chu, who was at the back, was shocked when he heard the shouting outside. It seemed that this was the first time a bandit had visited him in the six years since he came here. However, he did not dare to say anything. After all, these things were not his clever tricks.
It can be solved. You must know that bandits are all tough bandits, and they are also the kind of masters who kill without batting an eye. If a child provokes them, it will be bad if they are punished!
Then Xiao Chu glanced at Xiao Cheng and Xiao Lin again, and saw the two little guys trembling for a while, huddled in the corner and not daring to move. They had never experienced anything like this before.
Just as Mr. Xiao and his son were hiding the food at home, a loud noise suddenly came from the door. The loud noise was the sound of a bandit kicking in the door.
"People inside, listen up. We are here just for money, not for life. If you are wise enough to open the door quickly and take some money out, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
The person shouting outside the door had a rough voice and an extremely arrogant tone. At the same time, he kept kicking the door with his feet, making an extremely terrifying sound.
But after kicking on the door for a while, no one answered, and there was no more sound.
Did he leave?
The father and son in the yard looked at each other. They didn't know what was going on outside, but they didn't dare to go outside to check.
After a while, everyone in the Xiao family heard an angry voice coming from outside the yard again, saying, "People inside, listen up. I'm going to say it for the last time. If you don't open the door again, we will set a fire!"
After the words fell, the man stopped talking, but Mr. Xiao could clearly see a fire coming from the easternmost direction of Zhengjia Village!
"These damn thieves actually dare to set fire to the world. Aren't they afraid of the government?"
Mr. Xiao was afraid. This house was the only valuable property of the Xiao family. If it was burned to the ground, the entire Xiao family would end up on the streets!
"Walk!"
Then Mr. Xiao took Xiao Changan and Xiao Changfu to open the door and walked out!
As soon as he opened the door, he saw two burly men at the door, staring at them with stern expressions. When he saw three people walking out, they said with sarcastic smiles on their faces: "Old man, do you know the door is open?"
Mr. Xiao also flashed a look of panic and said, "This good man, I don't know what you want. If we can satisfy it, we will definitely give it to you. I hope you don't hurt our lives!"
The two people heard what Mr. Xiao said, and then they smiled again, with ridicule on their faces, "It doesn't matter what you want. Seeing that you have a good attitude, it also saves us brothers from setting fire. Now, take everyone in your family with you."
Let’s gather at the entrance of the village. If you want to pull any tricks, my sword won’t recognize anyone!”
After the bandit finished speaking, he immediately added, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. What I said was to bring 'everyone' in your family. If I find out there are others later, don't blame me."
You are welcome!"
The bandit said the word 'everyone' very seriously, with a proud look on his face, and then waved the long knife that emitted a cold light towards the three of them. The threat in his words was extremely obvious.
Hearing these words, Xiao Changan became more panicked, and then he turned his gaze to Mr. Xiao, as if he was asking Mr. Xiao if he wanted to bring Xiao Chu and the others with him.
When Mr. Xiao saw the long knife in the bandit's hand, a cold light flashed through his hand, making people tremble with fear. Then he nodded and signaled Xiao Changan to call out the people in the house to avoid any accidents.
The three sisters-in-law protected the three children, and then the whole family obediently headed towards the entrance of the village. Now that we are the slaves and I are the meat, we have to cooperate with this group of bandits to prevent them from doing something extreme.
Next to the big stone monument at the entrance of the village, many bandits gathered inside. They stood in a circle, surrounding most of the villagers in Zhengjia Village. The bandits held torches in their hands and illuminated the big stone monument. They could see the big stone monument.
The bright red words "Zhengjia Village" can be clearly seen on the stone tablet.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiao Chu saw Zheng Dapeng and his family also here, but their family seemed a little embarrassed. There was even a trace of blood flowing out of the corner of Aunt Li's mouth. Zheng Dapeng's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his hair was a little messy. It was obvious that
What happened just now caused this.
Could it be that they resisted and were beaten by bandits?
One after another, almost everyone in Zhengjia Village arrived and gathered next to the big stone monument. They didn't know what this group of hateful bandits wanted to do.
"Hello fellow folks from Zhengjia Village!"
While everyone was wondering, a man stood out. The man's body was slightly lean, and there was an obvious scar on his face, like a centipede lying there. When the man opened his mouth, the scar appeared like
Like a centipede, it trembles and trembles. Against the backdrop of the firelight, it is extremely frightening.
The villagers surrounded looked at the scarred man with a feeling of fear in their hearts. However, some young people had a clear look of anger on their faces. They stared at this group of bandits with hatred, and the anger in their hearts surged. But again
When he saw the gleaming long knife in the hands of the bandits, he immediately fell down. They were fierce bandits with weapons, and he and others were just a group of villagers who were being slaughtered. What could they do?
"To be honest, in the past few years, we have looted all the surrounding villages. However, I dare to say to everyone that this is the first time we have visited Zhengjia Village. Therefore, we ask for your cooperation.
Don’t worry, as long as you don’t resist, we guarantee that no one’s life will be hurt!”
After the scarred man finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd and announced again: "I came to your village today for no other purpose. I didn't want to disturb you, but I had no choice. Brothers are hungry! That's why I came to your village to borrow some food.
We need food, and we ask all the fellow villagers to help us!”
Xiao Chu, who was hiding in Mr. Liu's arms, felt strange when he heard this. Are the bandits in ancient times so literary and artistic in their robberies? Borrowing food? You really dare to say that, I'm afraid it's the kind of person who borrows money and never returns it.
Bar?
However, Xiao Chu didn't say much. After all, too much talk leads to mistakes. I think it's better to speak less on such an occasion to avoid unnecessary trouble for yourself. Since you want to rob food, just rob it! Anyway, I'm waiting for my scholarship.
When we arrive, we can naturally buy a lot more food.
"Everyone, please feel free to rest assured. This is food borrowed from our fellow villagers in Pheasant Ridge. When we have food, you can go to Pheasant Ridge to get your food back. We are absolutely welcome."
After the scarred man spoke, he scanned the crowd again, his eyes full of treachery, and the smile on his face became even brighter, but in the eyes of the villagers, this smile was a bit scary.
Xiao Chu couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the scarred man in his heart. You can actually make the robbery so tactful. You are considered a talent!
But then Xiao Chu had a premonition in his heart. These bandits gathered them all here, and the entire Zhengjia Village became an empty village. At this time, didn't they just take whatever they wanted?
Why bother showing off here?
Later, Xiao Chu felt relieved, no matter what they robbed, just call them a robbery, as long as the person is okay.
