It was a time of troubled times, with wars everywhere in China, and monsters and ghosts appearing frequently, making many people look less like human beings.
It is normal for bandits to appear.
But what Feng Yi wanted to know was whether they were real bandits or evil cultivators.
"They are said to be bandits, but they are well-trained, everyone carries a gun, and they are very fast."
Xiao Laodaodao: "Fortunately, they only robbed food and didn't hurt people or insult their families;
Occasionally, two people who do anything will be reprimanded. I always feel that they don't look like bandits..."
Feng Yi took over the conversation: "Not like a bandit, but more like a soldier?"
"Yes, yes! It does look like a soldier."
Boss Xiao nodded like a fool, and then asked suspiciously: "The salary of being a soldier is so good these days, how could you become a bandit?"
"I don't know that."
Feng Yi shook his head and said: "These are just my guesses at the moment."
Boss Xiao didn't say anything more, and they walked for a while. Boss Xiao pointed to a row of private houses in front of them with smoke rising from the kitchen stoves and said: "Brother Feng, Miss Ma, we are here."
There are about dozens of houses in this row, most of them are dilapidated, with mottled walls, broken windows, and doors that make a buzzing sound when the wind blows and seem to fall down at any time. They look very desolate.
Only seven or eight of the houses have been carefully renovated. The windows were covered with old paper, a few branches were added to the doors to fix them, and the walls were simply painted. They looked better than other houses.
There were sounds of people moving and talking inside, which must be the home of Boss Xiao and others.
"We ran in a hurry, didn't bring anything with us, and there were no markets nearby. We drank snow water, ate fruits from the woods, and occasionally encountered a few game animals. We treated it as a Chinese New Year."
When he said this, there was a trace of unspeakable embarrassment on Mr. Xiao's face. Then he smiled and said: "When the ice and snow melt in spring, you can plant some crops and raise some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. Life will definitely be better than now."
It’s better.”
"Then those bandits still want to rob you?"
Ma Danna couldn't bear to see what was happening in front of her. As a large family with a history of thousands of years, she had been helping people around her to eliminate demons. Her family's financial situation was pretty good. At least she would have enough food and clothing, and there would be no possibility of bandits attacking when the situation was at its last resort.
.
Boss Xiao was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly: "What else can we do? There are dozens of them, and they also need to eat.
We are content to only grab food and nothing else.
You two, this is my current residence, you can just stay here for the time being."
"You still have a wife and children at home, how can we occupy the dove's nest?"
As he spoke, he pointed to an abandoned house next to him and said, "We can live here."
"This, this house has been vacant for a long time..."
"It's okay, wasn't it the same when you first came here?"
Feng Yi smiled disapprovingly and said: "We are all cultivators. We have lived with the heaven as our bed and the earth as our bed. It doesn't matter."
"Okay then, let's help you clean up and send you some firewood and food..."
"By the way, Boss Xiao, how often do those bandits appear? How often do they usually appear?"
Feng Yi asked.
"This is not very fixed. It first appeared when we just lived here a few days ago. We have lived here for two months and have been here four times in total."
Boss Xiao thought for a while and said.
Feng nodded: "Four times in two months, once in more than ten days. When did you come last time?"
"Including today, it has just been fifteen days. We also planned that they would come soon, so we came out in advance to find out the news."
Boss Xiao looked troubled: "It's been snowing these past few days, and it's hard to find food. Each of our families doesn't have enough food to eat. If the bandits come again to attack the autumn wind, even if they only steal food, they will starve to death."
"I see."
Feng Yi patted the other party's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Boss Xiao, you helped me, I will definitely protect you."
Boss Xiao shook his head and said, "How can I help you?"
After briefly helping to clean up, Boss Xiao and others brought firewood and food. Feng Yi waved his hand and said: "Boss Xiao, just keep the firewood, but you don't need the food."
Seeing that the other party was ready to give in, Feng Yi smiled and said, "I'll go out and see if I can find some food."
After a few more pleasantries, Boss Xiao took the people away, and Feng Yi and Ma Danna sat opposite each other.
"I went to Guannei three months ago. The houses here were still vacant. It seems that Boss Xiao and the others were not lying."
Madonna said.
"Well, I know, they are telling the truth."
Feng Yi looked at the somewhat leaky roof and said, "I'm going to find some game in a while. Let's eat some meat while you mend the roof."
"It seems you are planning to stay for a long time?"
Ma Danna asked with a smile: "Are you still planning to kill the tiger demon and help them get their home back?"
“It’s our job to conquer demons and demons.
Besides, living people and a bunch of demons live together, there is no distinction between black and white, yin and yang are confused, it is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. It’s okay if you don’t know about this matter. How can you ignore it after you know it.”
Feng Yi said seriously.
Ma Danna glanced at him approvingly, and said with a wave of eyes: "I think you can definitely catch this game, maybe it will attract a 'wolf pack'? But Boss Xiao and the others said that the bandits have guns, so many people
, is it okay?”
"What a trivial matter it is."
Feng Yilang laughed and stood up and said, "I'm going to find some food and have some meat for everyone."
…
When Feng Yi's figure was obscured by the wind and snow, Niu Er, who was sitting in Boss Xiao's room, said angrily: "Boss Xiao, you are too polite to this outsider. Not only do you provide a place to live, but you also provide firewood and food. We don't even have enough!"
"
Boss Xiao sighed and said: "Niu Er, I'm not talking to you as a brother. If the bandits come, what will we have left?
All the things that I had worked so hard to save were taken away by them. I couldn't eat them myself, so I might as well give them something to eat.
Besides, I think Brother Feng seems to have real abilities. If he is willing to help us, we will never have to live in this kind of fear again."
Niu Er thought about it for a while, first nodded, then shook his head and said: "With his oily head, pink face, and hairless mouth, he is probably just a pretty boy. Maybe the pretty girl next to him and the little girl next to him were tricked by him. How can there be anything wrong with that?"
ability."
Boss Xiao smiled bitterly: "Then what else can I do? I am a dead horse and a living horse doctor. No matter what, I will die. If I try, I might still have a chance."
Niu Er lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, but then weakly let go.
The world is unfair, and he, an ordinary person, can't do anything...
After Feng Yi left, Boss Xiao poked his head out from time to time. Half an hour had passed and the other party hadn't come back yet. If Ma Danna and Luo Sang hadn't been there, he would have thought that the other party had escaped.
After a while, the sky was getting dark, and just when Boss Xiao was worried about whether something had happened to Feng Yi, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside.
"Did the bandits come so early this time?"
Boss Xiao suddenly sat up from his chair and carefully looked out the window. When he saw it clearly, his eyes widened and he subconsciously opened his mouth...
