The torch in the bandit's hand shone brightly and flickered in the wind, reflecting on the faces of every villager at the entrance to Zhengjia Village. You could vaguely see a look of panic on the faces of the villagers. After all, this was the first time they had encountered bandit robbery.
arrive.
There were even some timid women in the scene who began to sob softly, but they had to cover their mouths tightly for fear that the sound would make the bandits angry.
Xiao Cheng grabbed Ms. Liu's arm tightly and hid behind Mr. Liu with a look of fear on his face. His eyes were fixed on the bandit. From time to time, he would glance at the bandit's long knife full of coldness, and then he couldn't help it.
He hid behind him again and pressed his mother closer.
Xiao Lin buried her head in her second aunt's arms and closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look outside. However, she was curious about what was going on outside. She just poked her head out, but before she could see anything, she was forced by her second aunt.
Pressed back.
Ms. Liu hugged Xiao Chu tightly and protected Xiao Cheng behind her. A look of panic could be clearly felt on Ms. Liu's face, but in order to protect her two children, she still remained extremely calm.
Xiao Chu looked at the bandits surrounding them indifferently, and there was also a hint of worry in his heart. They wouldn't kill people and silence them, right?
But then Xiao Chu gave up this idea in his heart. Judging from the attitude of these people, they should mainly seek money, and they would not kill anyone. After all, there are more than 20 households in the village, which will be a major case. By then
Why hasn't the imperial court sent troops to exterminate them?
Time passes quietly with a stick of incense.
Xiao Chu looked in the direction of the village, and it turned out that it was similar to what he had guessed. The bandits gathered him and others here, and then sent people directly to the village to loot all the belongings of every house.
It seems that this group of people is not the kind of stupid thieves who only know how to rob homes, but they can also strategize?
A moment later, three carriages were seen driving out of the village, loaded with goods, mainly including various grains, utensils, and even dried fish dried in some villagers' homes.
When Xiao Chu saw the three full carriages, he was astonished. These bandits had too many kinds of things to rob, right? You even asked you to load other people's pots?
What I know is that you are robbing, but those who don’t know think you are moving!
"Boss, the entire village has been visited by the brothers from west to east and from east to west. We have brought everything we can take away. As for what we cannot take, we will obey your order and will not take anything away.
Move." One of the drivers driving the cart reported to the scarred man with a smile on his face and the joy of a good harvest.
After the scarred man looked at the goods on the carriage, a black line immediately appeared on his face. Damn it, you are too real! You have moved away the pots, bowls, ladles and basins, you bastard.
Can't you use your brain when doing things?
"I'm telling you, Third Blind Man, you don't have any brains to do things? What did you do with these pots and pans? Isn't it too heavy? Isn't there any in the cottage?" The man with the scar looked helpless, and then he felt like he couldn't laugh or cry, and there was a touch of bitterness on his face.
Smile, said.
The third blind man smiled awkwardly with an embarrassed expression. You said you could take all the useful things with you. Now you are blaming me again. If I hadn't been able to beat you, I would have beaten you up.
Paused.
Xiao Chu couldn't help but smile secretly when he heard the conversation between the two bandits. This seemed a bit too dramatic, didn't it?
Then the scarred man turned around and ordered towards the three carriages, "You guys, unload all the things on the carriages except the food."
The three blind men quickly nodded in agreement, and then they completed the leader's instructions with their brothers.
After unloading the pots, pans and other items, the two carriages were filled with food. The scarred man saw the two full carriages of food, and then nodded, feeling quite satisfied.
Immediately, the scarred man turned to look at the villagers in Zhengjia Village, and said calmly, "Then I would like to thank you fellow villagers for your gifts!"
But for a moment he looked at the villagers' expressions that were mixed with panic and dejection, thought for a moment, then turned around and ordered to his men, "Three blind men, unload ten bags of grain for the fellow villagers!"
The third blind man looked unhappy, but due to the authority of the scarred man, he had to do as he was told, and then reluctantly unloaded ten bags of grain and placed them on the ground.
Seeing this scene, many Zheng family villagers looked surprised. Is this?
This is really the first time I have seen something thrown out of a bandit's pocket. Could it be that the bandit's conscience has discovered it?
After the three blind men and others finished unloading the grain, the scarred man turned to the villagers of Zhengjia Village and said, "Folks, it's not easy for you either. I leave you ten bags of grain here. Don't say we are too ruthless. After all, everyone is not
easy."
"Brothers, retreat!" The scarred man shouted at the younger brothers, then turned around and left in a hurry.
The three blind men and others followed the scarred man and headed straight out of the Zhengjia Village. Although the Zhengjia Village was not rich, the trip was quite fruitful. The two carts of food were enough for them to eat for several months.
.
"Baaaah!"
Just when a group of bandits hadn't gone very far, they suddenly heard the sound of two sheep braying.
Xiao Chu and others took a closer look. Isn't this their family's sheep? The bandit actually took away the sheep. At the same time, Xiao Changfu and Xiao Changan also noticed that those were their two sheep.
"Our sheep, give back our sheep!" At this time, Xiao Changfu shouted from behind. These two sheep are extremely important to their family. Not only can they provide mutton for the New Year every year, but they can even earn a lot of money from selling lambs every year.
little income.
"At this time, Mr. Xiao quickly grabbed Xiao Changfu and covered his mouth to stop him from screaming."
It's just two sheep, and if they are taken away, the impact on the Xiao family will be that their future life will be more difficult, but if they are angered, the consequences seem to be unimaginable.
However, Xiao Changan's shout had already reached the ears of the bandit, and then the scarred man turned his head and rode back to the village entrance, staring closely at Xiao Changfu who looked excited.
"Don't you want to live anymore?" A sinister look appeared on the scarred man's face, and he looked at Xiao Changfu contemptuously. The long knife in his hand flashed with light, passing over everyone's face.
"That's our sheep, why did you take our sheep away?" Xiao Changfu's tone was laced with a hint of dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to meet the scarred man's fierce gaze.
"Why? Haha, just because my brothers want to eat roasted whole lamb!" The scarred man smiled faintly, with a look of scorn on his face, without even looking at Xiao Changfu, and then said.
Mr. Xiao quickly pulled Xiao Changfu behind him, with a smile on his face, and said, "My lord, if you like these two sheep, you can take them away. He doesn't understand the rules, so please don't take offense."
The scarred man smiled heartily and said, "Old man, you quite understand the rules!"
However, the man with the scar saw Mrs. Liu behind him looking at him with an expression of hatred, and then his face showed a hint of sullenness, and he said fiercely towards Ms. Liu, "Look at you, you seem a little dissatisfied?
"
Mrs. Liu remained silent and just kept her two children close behind her. It is true that these two goats are particularly important to their family. Not only do they provide a lot of income every year, but even Xiao Chu grew up eating the milk of these two goats.
Yes, to a certain extent, Mrs. Liu has a deep affection for these two sheep.
Seeing Mrs. Liu's long silence, the scarred man seemed a little angry. Then he looked at Xiao Changfu next to him, who had an angry look on his face. A hint of anger rose in his heart. These people were just ordinary villagers. How dare they do this?
Staring at yourself? After all, he is also the second master of Pheasant Ridge!
"Brothers, hit me, but don't hurt your life. Teach them a lesson and let them know the consequences of provoking me, the second master of Pheasant Ridge."
When the scarred man finished speaking, someone had already stepped forward and pushed Xiao Changfu to the ground, punching and kicking him.
At the same time, there were also people walking towards Ms. Liu. Even though Ms. Liu was a woman, they would obey the orders given by their boss, let alone a woman, even if it was their own mother.
When Ms. Liu saw someone approaching her, she was frightened and backed away. However, the resentment in her eyes never faded away. At the same time, Ms. Liu still protected her two children tightly behind her, for fear of them.
