This is a moment that will always be engraved in the depths of my heart for both life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But it's as if the heavens and the earth no longer rotate, and time stands still.

Everything around him was cut off from the chaotic thoughts of the peppercorns, mottled into pieces.

Many years later, Hua Jiao dreamed back at midnight, occasionally thinking of these fragments, and the memory was already very vague, but at that moment, the marbles shot out of the slingshot in her hand, following the trajectory of her killing intentions, directly penetrated the left cheek of the bandit, and the puddle of blood that sprayed out after knocking him to the ground, the blood that could be gently bounced up at the moment it touched the ground, was always in her mind, and she never forgot it.

But at that moment, Sichuan Pepper still had a little basic consciousness, and she probably remembered that the corners of her mouth were twitching and she said a word to Lilac.

Although she couldn't hear what she was saying at all, the sentence should have been: "Third sister, this bandit seems to have only one hand." ”

Then he came down from the eaves in a daze, and the pepper could feel the shadows, as if someone was in front of him. She felt like she was muttering, as if there was a buzzing voice from far away, and the words were so clear that she didn't hear a word of peppercorn.

Countless fragments have flashed in my mind, ignorance in swaddling clothes, lifelike on the sickbed, and insignificance under natural disasters...... The last consciousness was the blood that touched the ground.

Hua Jiao secretly shouted in his heart, and there was a bandit who did not show up......

But his eyelids became heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and he fell into silent darkness in an instant.

He woke up from the darkness again, and was fully awake almost instantly.

"Fourth sister?" Hua Jiao sat up, and by the faint light, she directly knew that she was lying on the bed of Qin Lao Niang's shelf, and the familiar breath also let her know that it was Xiangye who was guarding the side. I don't know how long I've been guarding, but my little head has been growing little by little.

Hearing the slightly hoarse murmur of the pepper, the dazzled bayant leaves also woke up in an instant, and there was indescribable joy on his face: "Jiaojiao, you are awake!" ”

Hua Jiao nodded lightly, sniffed lightly, there was a soothing smell, and looked at the darkness outside the window: "Fourth sister, am I asleep?" How long have you been asleep? ”

"You've slept all day, from morning till night, and it's dusk!" Xiangye's shoulders that had been tense suddenly relaxed, but he stood up, and after turning around in place a little helplessly, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly transferred a cup of honey to feed the peppercorns.

It's been a day of sleep, no wonder the lips are dry.

Sichuan pepper remained motionless, and let the bay leaf feed her a warm honey water, and her throat and chest were moistened like a rain of water.

Xiangye breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it, jumped up again, and ran out: "Jiaojiao, you sit obediently, I'll tell the third uncle ......"

Huajiao stared blankly at the back of Xiangye, leaned on the head of the bed, and suddenly counted the bats on the top of the tent in a daze, over and over again, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, why are there only three bats, it should be Wufu Linmen!

There was a messy and noisy footsteps outside, and as soon as the door curtain moved, Luo ran in in a hurry, followed by a string of people, and the pepper had not yet seen clearly, and had been held in Luo's arms.

"Pepper, what's wrong?" After a while, Luo let go of her, rubbed her little face again, and kept looking: "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Huajiao shook his head vigorously, but was stopped by Luo Che holding his cheek: "Don't shake it, it's a headache!" ”

The pepper nodded again, but couldn't move, so he blinked.

Suddenly, I wanted to say how I slept and how I became stupid.

But looking at Luo's concerned eyes, the words came to his lips and he swallowed.

But Luoche, who was all focused on the peppercorns, saw it clearly, and hurriedly let go: "Did my mother hurt you?" Still relieved, he asked again: "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"No, I'm fine, there's nothing uncomfortable." The pepper didn't move, paused, and said, "I'm just hungry." ”

Roche didn't let go of any subtle expressions of peppercorns, and after hearing this, he finally relaxed a little.

On the side, Du Shi had already laughed: "It's good to be hungry!" It's good to be hungry! He leaned over and asked the peppercorns, "What do you want to eat?" Rice, or noodles? The second aunt stewed chicken soup, and she could also give us peppers and peppers to cook porridge to eat. ”

The peppercorn's eyes rolled around, but he said, "Well, I want to eat mush." ”

"Oops, we're so good!" Du Shi stroked his palms and laughed: "I know that the second aunt is best at paste, okay, the second aunt will go and make peppers for our family." ”

Sichuan pepper pursed his lips and smiled.

Du Shi was neat and capable, but in a quarter of an hour's work, he brought a large bowl of white batter with eggs, fine salt, and sesame oil.

Luo Zhi saw that the pepper had eaten so much, and he was no longer reluctant, so he smiled and took the teacup handed over by the fragrant leaves, sent it to the peppercorn's mouth to rinse her mouth, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth.

Just like what Du Shi just said, knowing that being hungry and being able to eat is a good thing, which proves that the child has eased up.

But even so, as long as she thought of what happened on weekdays today, she was still terrified.

Like Du Shi, she also imagined countless possibilities, but she didn't expect that Hua Jiao and Lilac would jump out to guard the backyard, and she didn't expect that the bandits would be able to avoid the defenses at home and go straight into the main courtyard.

When she heard the news from Du Shi in the long room, she escorted Qin Lao Niang to the cellar without saying a word, leaving Zuo to take care of Qin Lao Niang and Xiaoba, and leaving Yao and Shen to take the Ya'er sisters to guard the cellar.

At that time, there was only one thought in her heart, who wanted to hurt her child, don't blame her for killing God and killing Buddha when she met God.

He had thought that by the time they arrived, Hua Jiao had already crippled the two bandits.

A male bandit with only one hand, was hit through half of his face by a slingshot of peppercorn, and after screaming heartbreakingly, he only had air out but no air intake, it was the person who was tied up by Du Shi and Chen Niangzi with the courage to step forward, Qin Lianhu heard the scream, and rushed over with the little characters as if they were playing with their lives, this bandit had already been tied up by them.

There was also a bandit, who turned out to be a woman, who was broken in the knee by a slingshot of peppercorn, and was in pain, so he easily crawled into the wing room and hid, which was searched out by Qin Lianhu, who later got the news from Lilac......

All of them are seriously injured, and they are all from the hands of peppercorns!

But after being picked up from the eaves by them, the peppercorns fell asleep like this.

Either faint or sleep. Before going to bed, he muttered that this bandit only had one hand, and another bandit had not yet shown up......

They were naturally distracted, but the invited Lang Zhong said that the pepper was not in the way, but it was just too tired and it was good to sleep. Yao took out the soothing incense at the bottom of the box and lit it, and the peppercorns slept soundly, and they snorted and snorted......

After a whole day of sleep, I finally woke up.

And everything is fine.

Amitabha, Luo's tears couldn't help but fill his eyes, and he couldn't help but hold the peppercorns in his arms......

And the peppercorns were full of food and drink, and they were drowsy again, and they were about to close their eyes and lie down for a while to recuperate, but suddenly they realized how they could sleep in Qin Lao Niang's house!

A stunned, lost memory instantly returned.

Although there were only a few scattered fragments left, Hua Jiao still grasped the key point at once, and grabbed Luo's hand: "Mother, where are the bandits......"

Before the words fell, he let go of his hands as if he had been burned, spread out his palms, and looked at the thin cocoons in his palms in a daze.

……

I heard that the peppercorns that had been asleep for a day finally woke up, and they ate most of the bowl of paste with a good appetite, and the old and young masters who had been busy for almost a day and a night finally had a little smile on their cold faces.

But they still can't spare time to visit peppercorns.

Although the bandit problem had subsided, the two gangs, from the bandit leader to the bandits, a total of 43 people were arrested, of whom 3 were killed, 20 were seriously injured and 10 were lightly injured. Only Rao is the Chongtang Inspection Division, and he can't be detained, or maybe he doesn't have the strength to guard such outlaws.

Inspector Li didn't dare to take it lightly, so after discussing with Father Qin, he simply sat down in person and temporarily detained these people in Qin's house, waiting for the county magistrate and even the prefect to come and pick them up in person.

Another half, that is, twenty archers, came to guard the layer. He also invited four or five Lang Zhong to come and stop the bleeding of the bandits, so that no one would die.

These people have committed a lot of crimes, not to mention that they have not been tried, and they died like this, but it is a pity.

In this way, the Qin family had to divide half of the people to help guard these outlaws, and also had to clean up the ridge in front of the gate and the east garden as a battlefield, and everyone was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

Only Li Patrol is relatively leisurely.

It's just that the head is about to explode.

He was Chenguang who was white in the east, and when he heard the archers report that there was something wrong with the Qin family, he immediately ordered all the people to come to the Qin family.

It was only half an hour before the Qin family's warning.

But as soon as he rode the dust, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw that the ridge of the stream in the distance, and even the lotus creek had already been densely surrounded by people.

He raised his eyebrows, shook the bamboo steel whip and approached the horse, only to find that it was not the bandits, but the men of Zhoujiawan and Funnel Bay. Moreover, there are twenty or thirty bandits who have been tied up under the wall of the Qin family, and there are still two or three who fled in a hurry and jumped into Lianxi, where they were being chased and intercepted by the neighbors.

The banditry had largely subsided, and his jaw almost dropped.

But even more so that he jumped three feet high is still behind, the Qin family caught a bandit leader with only one hand, looking at the description of the face, looking at the wound of the years, it is likely to be the "single hand" of the canal bandit leader who has been on the run for more than a year!

But he was shot through half of his cheek by a slingshot and passed out......

……

The corners of Hua Jiao's mouth twitched, and he wanted to speak again, but it was only after a while that he spit out a sentence with difficulty: "Third sister, is the bandit who is missing one hand really the 'single hand' we know?" ”

Lilac, who was sitting at the head of the bed with peppercorns in her arms, nodded heavily: "Yes, my uncle said yes, then it must be it!" ”

Saying that, he couldn't help himself, and excitedly said to Hua Jiao: "Jiao Jiao, you are really amazing!" Xin'an Mansion and the surrounding prefectures and counties have been caught for so long with a 'single hand' that you beat with a slingshot. You say, when these words get out, how can those officers and soldiers who have been chasing him for more than a year deal with themselves! ”

Sitting cross-legged in the bed, Xiangye, who was massaging the wrist of Sichuan pepper, raised her head and shouted, "Third sister!" He made a silent gesture at her: "Grandfather and grandmother have all said, let us keep our mouths shut, and don't let you be involved with Jiaojiao." ”

Lilac puffed out her cheeks when she heard this, of course she knew that her grandfather and grandmother, as well as the family, were all for the good of their sisters, and if such words were spread, their sisters would be criticized by the world because of their shocking world.

But even the boys can ask for credit for suppressing bandits, and their girls have also contributed, so they have to hide it!

She doesn't care about whether she has merit or not, not to mention that if she can really ask for credit, it is also her own family who has benefited, so she naturally has nothing to say, but she is angry at this injustice.

Although she didn't know who to throw this tantrum to, she was angry.

Hua Jiao, who has always been sensitive and observant, was in a mess in his heart, and he didn't listen to what Lilac said later into his heart, and it was even more impossible to notice Lilac's emotions.

"Then, then, this is still a disaster caused by Qin Lianbiao?" Sichuan pepper called its name and looked at the cloves.

Just the three words "Qin Lianbiao" had already pulled the clove out of her indignation, nodded heavily at the pepper, and said firmly: "Yes, that's what my grandfather said." Anyway, it's not the tone left by the biao goods, or he has the heart to pout, and there is no third possibility! ”

Pepper nodded.

Everything that happened on weekdays today, she had already heard the first elders in the family and Lilac and Xiangye say it several times.

It's really like the intelligence they pryed out from that sentry before, it is indeed two groups of bandits, and it is also a tactic of attacking from east to west.

The "Little White Dragon" on Changtang Lake led his subordinates to attack the fort gate, and the other group, now known to be the "one-handed" subordinates of the canal bandits, feinted to attack Dongtou Garden.

Although the bandits have twice as many people as their own, they are quite easy to deal with, and you can know a thing or two by looking at the casualties of the bandits.

But no one expected that after the sound of the east and the west, there was still a place to divert the tiger from the mountain, and there was no mastermind among the bandits who feinted to attack the east garden, and the "single hand" had already taken the female bandit into his house at some point and rushed straight to the back house.

After clarifying these, Qin Lao Niang and the others were naturally frightened and palpitating, and the old and young masters in the family were even more shocked and regretful.

Because of their negligence, they almost caused an unimaginable disaster!

Cold sweat spurted out of his body.

Especially Qin Lianhu, he originally just said it so soothingly, and letting Lilac protect his female dependents was a great achievement.

He naturally knew that this girl in his house was a strong temper, and he had to follow the hair, but in fact, there was a little perfunctory meaning in it.

But how could you have imagined that it was really a great achievement!
