The water thief was wounded in the shoulder, and when he saw that the man on the boat aimed at him and fired the arrow again, he knew that he would not be able to kill the dead girl in front of him in a few days. He had no choice but to endure this breath for the time being, and escaped through the cover of the rocks. He had lived on the island for many years, knew the terrain with his eyes closed, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Youyi, who thought that her life was at stake, escaped again, it seems that God really cares, and the rescue came at the critical moment. It's just that I don't know who the person who released the arrow is, and he can still shoot at the target at such a distance, which is really amazing! Although Chang Cun is also a martial arts practitioner, he doesn't seem to have such good archery skills.

Sure enough, the man came ashore and strode over, seeing that his figure was not permanent. The man got closer and closer, and Youyi couldn't help frowning slightly, it turned out to be him!

"Looks like Miss Jin is fine." He glanced at Youyi up and down, turned around and ordered the officers and soldiers behind him, "Take the golden girl on the boat, you two will protect you, and the others will follow me to search for fugitives on the island!" As long as you find it, you can correct the Fa on the spot! ”

Hao ...... Childe, I can't leave! Youyi didn't follow his arrangement.

Hearing this, Hao Lianjue turned his head to look at her, the chubby officers and soldiers who rushed over seemed to be a small leader, and he said with a smile: "Miss Jin, don't be afraid, we are all from the government, and now you are safe!" Wait a minute, we will escort the girl off the island, and the old lady of your mansion and the people from the He Mansion are waiting ten nautical miles ahead, and they do not know that the girl is safe and sound. ”

"Then ask the military master to inform my grandmother and cousin and others, and say that I am fine, and the water thieves have been punished on the spot. Because I have to explain the truth of the matter to Hao Gongzi, I will go back with Hao Gongzi later, so please don't worry. Youyi said calmly, but there was no doubt in her tone. The little leader was stunned when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at Hao Lianjue.

"You're going to stay behind and catch the fugitives?" Hao Lianjue's stereotyped face couldn't see joy and anger, "A bandit who is injured like a frightened bird, he can't escape from the palm of my hand!" Could it be that the girl doubts my ability and wants to see it with her own eyes to be reassured? ”

Youyi didn't dare to question Hao Gongzi's ability, but the water thief knew the terrain of the island well, and occupied the right time and place. This island is not small, and if he hides it, it will be difficult to find it in a short time. Moreover, the manpower brought by Hao Gongzi is limited, and it is obviously impossible to block the waterway and fortify it while rolling out a carpet search. In this way, more manpower will have to be mobilized, which is time-consuming and laborious, and I am afraid that some people will question Hao Gongzi's ability at that time. ”

Hearing her words, Hao Lianjue's eyes became solemn, he stared at Youyi for a moment, and asked, "Do you have a way to catch the fugitive quickly and effortlessly?" ”

"The water thief came back in danger and chased me after him when he attacked me in the boat, probably trying to kill me with his life. Use me as bait to draw him to the fore. When the time comes, ambush him, wouldn't it be easy to catch a turtle in an urn? ”

"You think I'm the kind of person who values fame more than anything else? I haven't done it to such a point before I exchange the life of a powerless little girl for a worthless bullshit reputation! Hao Lianjue replied disdainfully.

"I didn't want to risk my life!" Youyi actually laughed when she heard it, "Could it be that Hao Gongzi has so many people that he can't even protect my safety?" After speaking, he met his eyes.

There was a ripple in his eyes that were as deep as a pool of water, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but this smile made Youyi feel cold.

"Miss Jin's agitation method is skillful, but you also have to choose the right object to have an effect. But since Miss Jin wants to eliminate harm for the people and sacrifice her life to forget about death, I don't want to stop it much. According to the girl's law, but I don't have many people, so I have to send most of them to the shore to fortify, and I have to send people to search around, and there is not enough manpower to protect the girl. If the girl has three longs and two shorts, I will definitely avenge you for killing that thief! ”

"Hao Xianxian, if Miss Jin has any accidents, it is difficult for us to explain to Jin and He. Besides...... "Someone next to you wants to stop it."

"It is the glory of their family that the Jin family can have such a girl, and I will ask the general to play the saint when the time comes. This is a good thing for families who value fame! Hao Lianjue said with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, "You go find a conspicuous and well-equipped room, and then invite Miss Jin over." ”

With that, he summoned the two little leaders together, gave a few words, and they walked away quickly. After a while, I saw more than two dozen people divided into two groups and dispersed. The remaining two people followed behind Hao Lianjue, and two more went to find the house.

Since you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you naturally have to be high-profile. Although the two did not discuss, they coincided and walked around the island together. If you ignore the deserted houses on the island, the scenery here is quite beautiful.

They didn't talk, they were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was a little breathless. The two men behind them looked at each other, both with the same expression. They knew that Hao Xianfeng was the son of the peace charm who was degraded, and when he arrived in the barracks, he was bullied by others, but they didn't expect that he was not the kind of straw bag, and his kung fu made the gang cry and call his mother. When the matter reached the top, it was natural that it should be dealt with by military law.

But on the one hand, there are veteran ruffians with connections, and on the other hand, there are scrapped sons who have been demoted, of course, there will be some bias. Hearing that this Hao Xianfeng was beaten with a hundred military sticks, he was stunned and didn't say a word, and walked into the confinement room after enforcing the law. After being locked up for ten days, the gang went to bully again, and was beaten half to death by him again, and it was dealt with by military law. Three times before and after, Shengsheng subdued everyone! Everyone said that Hao Gongzi was an iron man who couldn't be killed, and he couldn't be provoked. At the beginning, no one dared to be presumptuous when he saw him, and everyone mentioned it before and after him had to give him a thumbs up.

The last time he surrounded and suppressed the water thieves, he forcibly landed under the cover of his brother and took the head of the water thief leader from the enemy, which made the water thief army very confused, and they took advantage of the chaos to go ashore and annihilate the water thieves in one fell swoop.

Soon, according to the tip, the whereabouts of the second leader of the water thieves were found, and he led someone to arrest him. For his rise from an ordinary soldier to a pioneer in a short period of time, no

The average soldier rose to the vanguard, and no one dared to disagree. Who would have thought that the second water thief was very cunning and escaped on the way back to the capital. They were being ordered to arrest, but they didn't expect the news of the attack on the Jin family. The girl of the Jin family is missing, and the young master of the Yu family is injured in a fight with the water thief.

A little girl who was only ten years old fell into the river in the middle of the night, and more than two hours had passed since the accident and when they arrived. The old lady of the Jin family cried and her eyes were red, and she was determined to see people alive and dead and corpses. The He family also got the news and sent someone to help. They searched the river, while Hao Xianfeng led people downstream to track down the whereabouts of the water thieves.

Unexpectedly, the girl of the Jin family was not only alive, but also unharmed. Not only is she not afraid of the water thief shouting to remind everyone, but she also dares to stay as bait. Could it be that the sons and young ladies raised by the nobles of the capital city are so vigorous and powerful! This Hao Xianfeng is already moody and not easy to serve, and now there is a quirky Jin family girl, they must be careful when they speak and act, and it is best not to open their mouths if they can, so as not to offend anyone.

The group stopped and walked near a large field of crops, and Youyi seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Please go in and take a look, there is a small bag of grain and a kettle near the west of the center." Although the people on the island did not have time to take the stored food with them, so many of them could not eat and drink. Although there is not much food, it is better than nothing.

In a few moments, two men went in and out, carrying a small bag of grain and a dilapidated kettle.

"That's what you're going to do with this?" Hao Lianjue opened his pocket and took a look, with hard sorghum rice that had not yet been kneaded. When you put it in the palace of the capital, I am afraid that no one will eat it, only feed the livestock. I didn't expect that she, a pampered little girl, could even eat this, and it was eaten raw, which had to be impressive! He looked at Youyi's eyes a little deeper, and a trace of affection flashed.

Youyi nodded and replied lightly: "I often hear that in order to survive on the battlefield, drinking horse urine and eating human flesh have happened. At the very least, this is food, and there is nothing to eat. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a fire in the northeast direction, and thick smoke billowed into the sky. After a while, a soldier came running to return. They had already begun to burn down the woods and some houses, leaving only one of the most ornate and spacious courtyards in the middle. Before setting the fire, they moved the food and valuables in the house to a safe place and kept a register. Pressing so step by step, I don't believe that the water thief can still hide!

"The last time the imperial court of encirclement and suppression, we have already sent troops to clean up the island, what other valuables can I have?" Youyi frowned slightly when she heard this, "These water thieves have been entrenched on the island for many years, and they have killed countless people for money. There was nothing to be found in the house, so they could not be buried in the graves of their ancestors. ”

Forehead! The soldier was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Hao Lianjue and didn't dare to speak casually. They have been soldiers and fought for many years, and they have never done such a lack of virtue as digging up people's ancestral graves.

"Miss Jin hated the water thieves, and it was difficult to vent her anger if she didn't dig up his ancestral grave. Besides, when our brothers saw Miss Jin for the first time, there were no good objects to pay homage, so they just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. Hao Lianjue asked people to do what Youyi said.

Watching them leave, he stared at Youyi and asked, "You are so vicious at a young age, aren't you afraid that the ghost in the grave will come to you in the middle of the night?" Aren't you afraid of retribution? ”

"I'm not a three-year-old child, so Hao Gongzi doesn't have to scare people with such childish words." Youyi didn't let it go at all, "Hao Gongzi ordered the burning of the mountains and forests, I don't know how many birds and beasts will die." And Hao Gongzi has become the pioneer of the sailor battalion in a short period of time, so he won't have any blood on his hands, right? Compared to me, the sins are more than enough. Hao Gongzi is not afraid of retribution, isn't he afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night? ”

"It's kind of interesting." Hao Lianjue actually laughed when he heard this, this time it was a real laugh, and there was no ridicule in it. But where is his joy?

This man is really like a fan! Youyi has asked countless people to read herself, and she has some ability to understand people's hearts. But I have met the man in front of me a few times, but I can't see through him at all. There are few expressions on his rigid face, and his deep pool-like eyes are even more intangible, and the occasional smile is even more confusing.

The two men continued on their way, saying nothing more to each other. When I went to a high place and looked down, I saw that the house not far away had turned into green smoke, and there was a lonely house in the center. The wall is intact, three in and three out, and you can still see the magnificence of the past.

There were soldiers over there who cleaned up and invited them over. Youyi followed Hao Lianjue into the courtyard, only to find that this seemed to be a place for water thieves to discuss. There is a hall in front, there are two rows of wide-backed chairs, the first one is covered with a tiger skin, there is a painting hanging behind, there is a poem inscribed on it, and then look up is a plaque, which reads "Juxiantang" three big characters.

Passing through the front hall are the three upper rooms, which should be the place where the ladies live, and the backyard has a few back buildings, wells, etc., which are estimated to be the places where people work and rest. Hao Lianjue arranged Youyi in the west room, which had an embroidery bed, which seemed to be lived by a woman's family. He stayed next to Youyi, and the rest of the people arranged their own accommodations.

"Back to the vanguard, it's almost time to eat, but none of us know how to cook. We are all rough people, and we can eat it with a bite of cooked, but I'm afraid that Miss Jin won't be used to it. ”

"I'll do it! Please, find someone to help me. Before Hao Lianjue could speak, Youyi walked out of the room.

"Golden Girl ......"

"Don't worry, I won't delay your meal." Youyi rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, "The kitchen is in the backyard, right?" What's in it? Naturally, my skills are not as good as those of a cook, but I am certainly better than yours. ”

Hao Lianjue bowed slightly, and the man hurriedly followed behind Youyi.

"If Miss Jin doesn't dislike it, let the villain help her." He knew that the little girl in front of him was a golden branch and jade leaf, and he couldn't afford to miss the slightest, so he didn't fold it in the hands of the water thief and fell in the kitchen and was injured. Looking at the posture of the He family, he can't eat and walk around.

Go around.

Besides, this meal was originally made by him, and when the time came, this little aunt and grandmother couldn't do it well, so he took advantage of the situation to get it ready. Unexpectedly, this move, Youyi opened his eyes. Choosing vegetables and cutting vegetables is very fast, and the posture is not like a person who is far away from the cook. Although there are also big families who let girls learn cooking, but it's just for show, who really has the smell of oil and salt sauce all over the body?

After a while, the aroma of pheasant and rabbit stewed in the cauldron filled. The steamer is steaming, and the aroma of taro comes out. Youyi quickly fished the pickles out of the cold water, patted them a few times with a kitchen knife, then cut them into inch pieces, and stirred well with chopped green onions and garlic. There are limited condiments here, so we can only settle for it.

"Please look at the fire, the steamer will be up in a quarter of an hour and turn off the heat. Don't add more firewood to the cauldron, simmer over low heat to get the flavor. The wild mushrooms in the pot next to it have been washed, and when the meat in the pot is rotten, put it in, and stew one to boil and then get out of the pot. Add salt just before removing from the pan, a spoonful. Youyi explained a few words and went back to the room.

The soldier did as Youyi said, put it in the basin and couldn't help but taste it, and sure enough, the meat was rotten and the mushrooms were fragrant, and the soup was even more delicious. If so, he put it all in and stewed, put some wood underneath, put a pot of water and buckle the lid.

He filled a large bowl for Youyi, and loaded a bowl of rice and a plate of pickles, and sent it to Youyi's room. People are girls, how can they eat with these rough old men?

"The girl is slow, not enough to shout, and we will eat in the courtyard. If the girl finishes eating, just put the plate and bowl at the door. After a while, the villain went to boil a pot of boiling water and fetched a bucket for the girl. Although he is a rough man, he knows that the girls of rich families take a bath every day. This golden girl soaked in the water for half the night, and spent the night in the crop field, and must have wanted to wash.

Youyi hurriedly thanked him, it was hard for him to think about it, otherwise Youyi really didn't know how to speak. She found a few clean clothes in the cupboard in the house, they didn't smell bad, they must have been left by the previous owner. After a while, eat and drink enough, take a bath, change into clean clothes, and sleep well, just thinking about it makes you feel comfortable.

The soldiers took turns to eat, and Hao Lianjue waited until the last batch was finished before sitting down.

"Pioneer, the dishes are cold, I'll give you hot water." A soldier came over and talked.

"No, you don't." He refused, picked up his rice bowl and ate it. He eats quickly, but he doesn't look rude at all, and his gestures can be seen in the aristocratic demeanor of the family. No wonder people say that being rich and having a family are two different things, and the children of a real family can't be wiped out of the extravagance that is immersed in their bones, no matter what kind of situation they fall into.

The cold soup still retains its delicious flavor and is layered inside, so it is expected to be even more delicious if you drink it hot. This girl from the Jin family surprised him again and again, and every time they met, he seemed to be impressed.

A little girl who is only ten years old, but he can't face her with the mentality of treating children. Such wisdom and boldness, even adult men are inferior! Was it just because she had been on the Grange for a few years and endured all the hardships that she was so mature? Hao Lianjue felt that Youyi's body was shrouded in a layer of fog, but she still couldn't see her true face when she opened a layer.

As night fell, the two soldiers guarding the front yard were probably too tired to sit and doze off. The soldiers guarding the backyard were huddled together talking quietly, and the fire flickered, presumably smoking cigarette pouches. It was quiet all around, there was candlelight flickering in the main room, and there was a faint sound of water coming out.

A dark shadow came under the cover of night, and he took advantage of the fact that the soldiers guarding the door were not paying attention, and he jumped lightly on the high wall and soon jumped down. He seemed to be very familiar with the structure of the house, and felt near the main house, hiding behind a large water tank in the corner and peeping around.
