Chapter 344: Hostage Exchange
Gu Xiaoxian saw that Meizi and her grandmother were indeed not afraid of her, so she didn't insist anymore.
On the contrary, she wants to wait for Xiao Zuo here, where to wait or not.
After entering the courtyard, Gu Xiaoxian was not in a hurry to go back to the room, but watched Meizi cook, Ayu helped by the stove, and grandma sat next to Gu Xiaoxian to bask in the sun.
At ten o'clock in the evening, a man suddenly visited, it was a middle-aged man with a in his hand, the was dead, and it seemed that it had been hunted by this man.
The people in the village were not so particular, and when they saw Gu Xiaoxian sitting in the courtyard, they walked in with a smile.
"Uncle Zhou, why are you here?" Ayu asked sweetly when she saw someone coming.
Uncle Zhou scratched his head embarrassedly, raised the bird he was carrying, and then said to Gu Xiaoxian: "Girl, thank you for saving our village, our family doesn't have any good things, and most of the food was snatched away by that gang a few days ago, this was hunted by me in the mountains yesterday, take it to add a dish to you, don't dislike it, girl." ”
Gu Xiaoxian was stunned, she didn't expect someone to thank her. And when food was scarce, the prey they had caught was sent over.
"This ...... No need. Gu Xiaoxian waved her hand awkwardly, how could she really accept it. The small emotions that were still a little suppressed disappeared in an instant.
"The girl doesn't accept it, and we don't want to go in our hearts, it's just a, and it's not a good thing. Uncle Zhou was even more embarrassed, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"You really don't need to, you can take it back, we have enough to eat. Gu Xiaoxian refused again.
"What is this, if you want to take it back, you won't be laughed at. Uncle Zhou was anxious, he looked at Ayu and Meizi again after speaking, and then put the on the edge of the stove, "Ayu, I'll put things here, Uncle will leave first if he has something to do." ”
Uncle Zhou put down the and owed Gu Xiaoxian again, and then turned around and left, and Meizi didn't have time to return the to him.
"Eh, Lao Zhou!" Meizi chased two steps and couldn't catch up, so she looked at Gu Xiaoxian with her, "Sister, Lao Zhou is also a thought, if you don't accept it, he won't feel at ease." ”
"Then take it, let's have more dinner in the evening. Gu Xiaoxian smiled, although it was just a chickadee, this heart made Gu Xiaoxian feel warm.
"Oh yes, there's something delicious again. Ayu clapped her hands and became excited.
Meizi nodded as well and began to deal with her.
Then, the yard became even more lively, and almost every household brought things, including wild vegetables, wild fruits, and mushrooms picked in the mountains, pickled vegetables from their own homes, and eggs that were hidden when the robbers came last time.
There were a lot of things piled up at once, although most of them were food found in the mountains in the past few days, and Gu Xiaoxian didn't need these things, but when food was in short supply, the people in the village could still send such things, which was enough to show the simplicity of these villagers.
Gu Xiaoxian looked at the food in the yard and suddenly laughed.
"Sister Meizi, I really like you here more and more. ”
"I like to stay here for a few more days, like my own home!" said Umeko with a smile.
Ayu was also happy when she heard it, "Okay, okay, with Sister Gu here, you can take Ayu up the mountain to hunt rabbits." ”
"So you want me to stay here, just to catch rabbits for you, right?" Gu Xiaoxian pretended to be angry.
"Of course not, as long as Sister Gu plays with Ayu, it's okay not to catch rabbits. Ayu said seriously.
Gu Xiaoxian smiled, "That sister will stay for a few more days, and then come back with more rabbits." ”
"Okay!" Xiao Ayu looked very happy, and then said to Meizi: "A-Niang, we have rabbits to eat again." ”
"A-Niang heard it. Plum smiled as she cooked the food.
Grandma lay in a rocking chair and listened, laughing too.
Gu Xiaoxian looked at the food in the courtyard, and remembered what the robber leader said about Lan Yuancheng, and he didn't know if the same thing would happen here.
Gu Xiaoxian shook her head, since the people in the village had released kindness to her, if there was really a problem of demonization, she would help the village once if she could.
Early the next morning, when Gu Xiaoxian was still practicing, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Everyone in the village ran out, and then there was a noise of crying and grabbing the ground, and Gu Xiaoxian knew that it was the robbers who came back.
"I've sent you back, my eldest brother?" cried out one of the strong men.
Gu Xiaoxian slowly walked out of the courtyard at this time, the bandit leader was tied up by her blue waves, as long as she didn't loosen the tie, no one here could untie it.
There are hostages in hand, and Gu Xiaoxian is not afraid of those people turning their faces.
When the robbers saw Gu Xiaoxian appear, a look of vigilance and fear appeared on their faces again.
"Girl, I have sent you back all the people in the village, can you let us go?" the strong man's tone also changed from questioning to discussing.
Gu Xiaoxian looked at the people in the village who were tied up by the robbers and brought back, and then looked at the corner of the wall where she threw the bandit leader yesterday, but there was no one.
"What about people?" Gu Xiaoxian asked the people in the village.
"We were afraid that he would run away, so we locked him up. "It was the village chief who spoke.
Gu Xiaoxian nodded, the people in the village didn't know that the people who were tied up by the blue waves couldn't escape, so it was reasonable to lock them up.
"Take him out. Gu Xiaoxian said to the village chief.
The village chief did not object, and immediately asked the two villagers to take custody of them.
Soon, the bandit leader was brought in.
Only then did Gu Xiaoxian say to the robbers: "Let the people in the village go first." ”
"This ......" The strong man hesitated a little, obviously afraid that Gu Xiaoxian would regret it, in case they let him go, Gu Xiaoxian would not let his eldest brother go.
So he wanted to say that he would release the people at the same time, and then he would be able to leave the village while there was chaos.
How could Gu Xiaoxian not understand, and then said coldly: "You have no choice, if I regret it, none of you can go out, don't play these careful thoughts with me." ”
The strong man's face changed when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and asked his subordinates to release them.
These robbers have seen Gu Xiaoxian's ability to use secret weapons, so fast that they can't keep up with Gu Xiaoxian's speed at all.
Moreover, they had gone back to check their companion's wound last night, and they could not find any trace of the hidden weapon at all, and if it weren't for the fact that the wound was real, they even suspected that they were dreaming.
Therefore, these people will be a little more afraid of Gu Xiaoxian.
The strong man would never have thought that the secret weapon they were so afraid of was only at the kindergarten level for Gu Xiaoxian, and with her current cultivation, she could already cast ice crystal rain, and she could kill everyone here in an instant.
Gu Xiaoxian watched that everyone in the village was released, and the family members were crying one by one.
Only the young man whose sister was taken away had a loveless face, and he didn't see his parents and elders around him, it seemed that only his sister and brother lived here.
Gu Xiaoxian shook her head, she knew that it was useless to say anything to the boy at this time.
"Girl...... My eldest brother ......" The strong man saw that Gu Xiaoxian did not release him, so he discussed and asked again.
Gu Xiaoxian looked at the strong man, then waved his hand, collected the blue waves and flowing clouds, and the robber leader hurried forward after being freed.
"Let's go, don't come to this village again, or ...... There is no mercy for killing. A cold voice came out of Gu Xiaoxian's mouth, and a group of robbers said yes again and again, got on their horses, and left without looking back.
