Suddenly entering the water, Shen Miao had no defense, immediately choked a few mouthfuls, and was about to find a support point, when the rope suddenly lifted up, and one person pulled him out of the water, carried it on his shoulders and left.

"Catch a big fish, let's go!" The man carrying Shen Miao said excitedly, his voice was very ruffian, "I've been paying attention to him just now, others are just sending bamboo rafts, just him, those people don't forget to protect him no matter how anxious they go." ”

Shen Miao would follow his wishes, and began to smash with his fists, counting the vertebrae, and there were two acupuncture points at the vest that hurt the most.

The man looked at it and smiled: "Huh! Pretty stubborn? Sue you, sir, I'm not afraid of you, I just have a sore back, so you can knock it hard, and you should beat my back. ”

After the man finished speaking, a group of bandits laughed.

Shen Miao scolded angrily: "Don't be complacent, don't think that you can just catch someone and do whatever you want?" Is there any royal law left? ”

"Don't talk to me about the royal law." The man was angry and pinched Shen Miao's thigh fiercely, "Master, I don't believe in the royal law." ”

Shen Miao was in pain, but he was not polite, looking for the man's stamina, and beckoned him with a knife.

"Oops, it's pretty exciting. Master likes it! The man laughed.

Shen Miao scolded, and couldn't help but be annoyed that he hadn't practiced martial arts and didn't have enough strength.

The steward is leading the villagers and the bandits to stalemate, the bandits' weapons are not sophisticated, basically wooden, but the villagers have more than a dozen decent knives in addition to the firewood knife, although the villagers are not good at using weapons, but they are well fed and clothed, and they have enough strength, and the stalemate is still easy.

But after the man came over with Shen Miao, his shape changed.

Although the steward did not speak, his face sank, he did not expect the other party to be so cunning that he could bypass the stream to catch up with the flying bamboo raft.

The steward's slightly changed expression fell into the man's eyes, and the man became more and more proud, and tightened his hand around Shen Miao's neck: "Obediently hand over the grain, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”

The steward did not move when he heard this, he knew very well that the thief could not let him succeed in stealing grain, otherwise he would come again and again, especially when holding the hostage, once they found the hostage useful, they would definitely not return it. Shen Miao is the person on the tip of Wu Liu's heart, and he can't be allowed to be used again and again. For now, the plan is not to pay the grain, delay the time, and wait for the reinforcements in the Seventh Prince's Village to arrive, and wipe out the bandits.

Shen Miao also saw the steward's thoughts, and couldn't let the thieves grab the grain lightly, so he said: "Look, I said it all, it's useless to arrest me." Now in the spring ploughing, the crops have just been planted, and the families have nothing to eat. ”

"Don't bluff me." The man snorted, "Don't think I didn't see it, wasn't it for food when I was repairing the fields?" Hand over the grain. ”

"That's the food that everyone pulled out of their teeth, and there are still foreign debts, you snatched it, what should we do?" Shen Miao was furious.

The man sneered, "What do you do?" We'll talk about it when we're full. ”

"Then you robbed us all, we all starved to death, what will you do next? Keep grabbing? What should I do if I have robbed all of these Zhuangzi? ”

"It's simple." The man smiled and said, "When the circle is all over and the crops are ripe, we will harvest and plant the land and settle down." ”

The thieves who followed the man hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, settle down, you will be stable if you have a home." ”

Shen Miao was not angry but happy when she heard it, thinking that the thieves of the An family knew at a glance that they were not extremely vicious people, but people who were forced to be helpless, and this kind of person would be stable and no longer make trouble if he had a piece of land.

Then he said: "It is impossible to rob so many Zhuangzi and still want to live in peace, and the masters of these Zhuangzi will not let you go." Since you want to be stable, it is better to stop here, the owner of the Zhuangzi here is opening up mountains and fields for the people to live and move inward, and there are still spare mountains to settle you. ”

The thieves were stunned for a moment when they heard this, then looked at each other, and gradually nodded: "If ...... That's true, it's ...... Not bad either. ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense." The man who held Shen Miao hostage roared, "Have you forgotten your brother lying in the stockade?" Ergou is a teenage baby, what happened to be cut by their firewood knife? ”

When the thieves heard this, they immediately alerted: "Yes, yes, yes, you can't believe them, you can be so ruthless to a baby, if you believe it, our heads will be hung at the entrance of the village in a few days." ”

As soon as Shen Miao heard that even if he knew that there was a misunderstanding, the farmer of this Zhuangzi was by no means indiscriminately killing innocent people, and the possibility of accidental injury in the slashing incident was even more likely, so he wanted to open his mouth to argue.

I didn't want a few people to rush out of the village and muttered in the steward's ear.

The steward's face suddenly showed joy, but the person who held Shen Miao hostage became alert, and immediately understood that there were reinforcements arriving, and immediately put down his hand fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Okay, you despicable person, deliberately talking to us to delay time, so as to catch us all, right?" ”

Shen Miao was in pain and blushed.

The steward immediately showed a worried look, and the man immediately changed his strategy when he saw it: "Take this man, let's withdraw first, and in three days we will get twenty stone of grain in exchange, if not, I will hang his head at the entrance of the village." ”

Shen Miao immediately struggled when he heard this, the man had learned Shen Miao's fierceness several times, so he simply put him down with a knife, carried it and left.

The steward wanted to go up and rob people, but he was afraid that the act of robbing people would make the other party realize the importance of Shen Miao more and more, so he had to watch Shen Miao leave. When the bandit walked away, the steward immediately ordered a few people to follow quietly, and be sure to find out where the bandit was hiding.

When Shen Miao woke up in a blur, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man who was short of breath, but extremely angry and sharp: "You pig brains!" Well? This is Zhedong Road, do you think it is still in Zhexi Road? Dare to go down the mountain to grab it without figuring out what the situation is? Also hijack individuals up? Do you think your life is too hard? cough cough cough ......"

"Third uncle, don't, don't be angry." The person who kidnapped Shen Miao hurriedly said, his tone was full of worry, and he finished his unconfident defense, "That's also their hand first, and the second dog is still lying on the bed." ”

"You only saw that Ergou was injured, and you didn't ask Ergou how he was injured. The matter is obviously that Ergou went to rob other people's things first, and only after they counterattacked did they let Ergou be injured, and they took care of it. ”

"That, that's also that we're hungry, we've climbed so many mountains, and we've run out of dry food, what can we do if we don't grab it? Didn't we all grab it all the way? Robbing the owner's house of the Zhuangzi and giving some to the farmer of the Zhuangzi is not nothing? ”

"That's different!" The middle-aged man scolded angrily, "No one is in charge of Zhejiang West Road now, but there are still people in Zhejiang East Road." Especially this Zhuangzi, as you have seen in the past few days, farmers work together to repair terraces, and Zhuangzi also manages the food to give the construction period. If this kind of thing is put in another village, if you want to open terraces, you will only divide a piece of land, set a time limit, and order it to be completed, how can you pay for it? What does this mean, do you understand? ”

"Of course I do! This means that the master of Zhuangzi is rich and rich, and he is a fat sheep who can rob it. ”

"You!!" The middle-aged man was so angry that he couldn't speak, "No matter how rich the owner of the Zhuangzi is, he can't change his essence, and those who can pick farmers are as good as possible." The fact that the owner here did not do this can only show that this person's vision is very different from others, and this person's status in the hearts of farmers is also extraordinary. Moreover, now Zhedong Road is not stable, and the manor can still be planted by farmers, and even open up mountains and fields, and its own status must be extraordinary. It is much more difficult to deal with such a wealthy, extraordinary and respected person than to provoke a bully, who has been in trouble for a long time, and you are in addition to it, others are applauding, and the respected person is completely different, you provoke it, others are angry with your behavior, no matter how correct you do, others will not think that you are doing it right. ”

"What then? Everyone grabbed it and sent it back? ”

"Humph! Want to send it back? There are no doors. ”

"What then?"

"Wait! If this man is really of sufficient value, someone will surely come to his rescue, find out all the weapons he has hidden, and prepare to meet the enemy; If not, kill them on the spot and find a place to bury them. He must not be allowed to go back, nor should the people in the village know of his death. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he coughed violently again.

When Shen Miao heard this, he sighed in his heart, it's bad, this middle-aged man has a lot of brains, and it's not easy to deal with!
