Hu Aimin waited for a while, saw that the sound outside the courtyard gate gradually faded away, and waited for a while to make sure that there was indeed no one outside the door, so he cautiously opened the courtyard door and put his head out to investigate. When he saw that there was no one around, he went out of the courtyard, and after carefully covering the courtyard gate, he quickly ran towards the place where the gunshots were fired and the villagers were crying and scolding.

Hu Aimin's movement Xiao Ju could see it clearly on the tree, but she did not stop Hu Aimin's action, but gently leaned down from the tree and went to close the courtyard door before walking towards the hall.

As soon as Xiao Ju entered the hall, the six pairs of eyes in the hall were staring at her, and their faces were full of eagerness and worry. Xiao Ju smiled at everyone comfortingly, and then said to Liu Yuan and Zhou Limin with a solemn face, "I'm going to go out and have a look, and the women and children in the family will be handed over to the two of you." Remember to close the courtyard door, and no matter who knocks on the door, don't make a noise or open the door to check! I'll be back soon! ”

"Xiaoju, is there something going on outside?" Zhou Limin asked a little anxiously, the gunshots from outside made him feel a sense of inadequacy, and Liu Yuan found that he was so nervous that it was a little difficult to speak. The gunshots outside made him seem to be a little back to the night when he was besieged by ** not long after he came out of Muyang City.

"Xiaoju, why don't we leave Haozhuang first and hide in the mountains and forests! That way, you don't have to worry about us when you go to investigate! Xiao Ju Niang, who already has a rich escape experience, is the calmest person in this group of people except Xiao Ju.

"Here's a way!" Xiao Ju listened to her mother's construction, and smiled with some appreciation. Anyway, the weather is not too cold now, and there is not much rain in Shandong in spring. What's more, the past few days have been sunny and windy, and everyone's days in the wild will not be sad. And Xiao Ju Niang was praised by Xiao Ju, and she was a little proud in her heart.

"Take your respective packages, take advantage of the chaos in the village, no one notices us, hurry up and leave!" Xiao Ju immediately commanded Zhou Limin and the others.

At the moment of life and death, everyone's movements were very fast, and even Xiaosheng quickly hugged his small package and honestly followed Xiao Juniang and Zhuang Zhuang. It's not that he doesn't want to follow Xiaoju, in his heart. Sister Xiao Ju is the most powerful of all the people here. It is safest to follow Xiaoju. But he also knew that Sister Xiaoju was in trouble, and he was sticking to her at this time, which would only cause her trouble.

Xiao Ju carried Xiao Sheng on her back. Led everyone to the nearby mountains and forests. Deep in the mountains and forests. After finding a relatively secluded and safe place to settle down. Xiao Ju sneaked back to the place where she had lived for so long. Quickly collect everything in each room. Only then did he jump out of the wall and sneak towards the still noisy village.

Unexpectedly, I was only halfway there, and I encountered the group of people who were not neatly dressed. Bandit-like men armed with various weapons were pointing their long and short guns at nine sturdy-tied men towards the entrance of the village. At the same time, he was followed by many villagers who were crying and scolding, but looked anxious and panicked.

Xiao Ju dodged to the side, and at the same time carefully looked at the people who were tied up and escorted away, and Hao Dayong was one of them. The five elders in the village are also among them, and the three Xiao Ju are a little familiar, but Xiao Ju is not very clear about what exactly is in charge of the village.

Because he didn't know the situation, Xiao Ju hid aside and didn't make a move. But when she saw Hao Qiang among the villagers who were following the group, her head turned slightly, and she had an idea in her heart. When the villagers passed by where she was hiding, Xiao Ju used her speed to make the bandit-like people who followed the villagers on the left and right of the villagers blend in without anyone noticing.

Xiao Ju quietly moved to Hao Qiang's side and gently touched Hao Qiang with her hand. Hao Qiang's mood at this time was chaotic mixed with fear, he never thought that Hao Jinbao, the big landlord who escaped from the village last year because of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields", would return to the village at this time, and brought back so many people with guns!

When Hao Jinbao's people rushed into the house to arrest Hao Dayong, he and his third brother wanted to rush forward and fight hard, but they were stopped by Hao Dayong with his eyes. After all, they are unarmed, only a body of brute strength, where are these opponents of Hao Jinbao's subordinates who have spears and box guns in their hands?

In desperation, the family could only watch Hao Jinbao and others tie up their father and drag him away. Before leaving, Hao Jinbao put down his cruel words, he would not let go of the people who took the lead in dividing his family's property and killing his family to share his wife.

Someone on the other side had a gun, and in desperation, Hao Qiang and the others could only take their families and other villagers in the village to walk towards the township compound according to Hao Jinbao's request under the coercion of the other party's people and guns.

When Hao Qiang looked down to see what was going on because his hand was touched, he happened to see Xiao Ju winking at him, and one hand was still pressed on his mouth to make a silent motion. Hao Qiang is actually a rough and bold person on the outside, but he is actually a delicate person on the inside. Seeing Xiao Ju's movements, he naturally subconsciously swallowed the name that was about to be called out of his mouth. But the joy in his eyes could not help but be revealed.

The moment Hao Qiang saw Xiao Ju, he knew that his father could be saved. Xiao Ju killed the wolves alone, but he got confirmation from his father's mouth. A person entering and exiting the wolves is like entering a no-man's land, so it should be a big success to rescue Dad from Hao Jinbao's hands.

Xiao Ju motioned for Hao Qiang to follow her, and quietly moved towards the edge of the crowd, although Hao Qiang didn't know what Xiao Ju meant, he also knew that Xiao Ju must have her meaning in doing so.

Soon Hao Qiang followed Xiaoju to the edge of the crowd, and was at a distance from the people escorted with guns on the left and right. When the crowd passed by the small courtyard where Xiao Ju had been living after coming to Hao Zhuang, because the courtyard wall was on the side of the road, Xiao Ju reached out and grabbed Hao Qiang's hand, quickly ran over the two-meter-high courtyard wall, and landed lightly in the courtyard.

And the escort behind Xiao Ju and Hao Qiang only felt that there seemed to be a shadow flashing in front of him, but when he looked at it, he was as usual.

At this time, Hao Qiang, who was already in the courtyard wall, looked at Xiao Ju with a shocked face, although he guessed countless times in his heart how high Xiao Ju's skills were, but his personal feelings at this time still made him lose his mind.

"Shh Xiao Ju put her finger to her mouth and made a silent motion, and at the same time let go of her consciousness and watched the villagers and bandit-like crowds outside pass in front of the small courtyard one after another.

After everyone passed, Xiao Ju walked towards the hall, Hao Qiang didn't need Xiao Ju to remind him, he had already raised his feet and quickly followed behind Xiao Ju.

Entering the hall, Xiao Ju sat down on the kang in the hall, and raised his head to signal Hao Qiang to sit too. After being silent for a while, Xiao Ju asked, "What's going on today?" Who are those who come into the village like bandits with guns? ”

"This ......" Hao Qiang's face showed some struggle and hesitation, and he wanted to say it but couldn't say it.

"If you feel like you can't say it, forget it! I don't care about today's affairs! Xiao Ju looked at Hao Qiang with a faint expression.

"It's a long story to talk about. After Japan's surrender last year, our area became a liberated area, and the government at that time not only went around to liquidate the crimes of traitors, but also called on the villagers of each village to fight the local tyrants and divide the land.

Today, the person who wears a blue jacket, has a bald head, does not wear a hat, carries a box gun in his hand, looks relatively tall, and takes people into the village to kidnap people and Weixie villagers to the township office, is called Hao Jinbao! He used to be a big landlord in the village, and 90% of the land in the village belonged to him.

He has an elder brother named Hao Dabao, who was appointed by the former Nationalist Government as the head of Hao Township, and nearly 50 percent of the land in his hometown belongs to him. It is a famous bully landlord in Hongo.

During the Japanese pseudo-period, he served as the president for more than two years; He also worked as a traitor, as soon as Japan surrendered, it became a liberated area, and the government liquidated the traitor's crimes everywhere, so Hao Dabao fled to the provincial capital to take refuge. Originally, Hao Jinbao didn't go, but when we fought the local tyrants to divide the land, under the organization of the government, their fields and property were distributed to each family.

and put the few people who robbed the poor woman as his little wife back and married again. And several of his children and the unrepentant landlord's mother-in-law died when they were criticized by the villagers. However, he was escaped by Hao Jinbao. Now it seems that he should have fled to the provincial capital to find his brother! As soon as Hao Qiang heard that if he didn't explain the truth, Xiao Ju would leave it alone, and in a hurry, he honestly told what he knew.

"It seems that the two brothers, Hao Jinbao and Hao Dabao, returned to Lincheng with the ** team!" Xiao Ju listened to Hao Qiang's words and said thoughtfully.

"Some time ago, according to my father's arrangement, when I went out to inquire about the news, I found out that many large and small landlords who fled last year in other townships had returned, and they also organized a 'return group' to return to their original villages, villages, and townships to carry out a counteroffensive. My dad couldn't sleep every night because of this! Hao Qiang said with a bitter face.

Xiao Ju heard Hao Qiang's words, and couldn't help but think of what Hao Qiang said, Hao Jinbao's wife and daughter all died in the fight, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, it seems that the death of Hao Jinbao's wife and daughter should not be so simple, after all, this is a struggle between two classes.

Thinking about Hao Dayong and a few others who were tied up by Hao Jinbao's people at this time and dragged all the way to the township office, you can guess that it should be the people who were tied up at this time who criticized Hao Jinbao's wife and children and led the villagers to divide the land and property.

"Since you know that Hao Jinbao escaped, you know that the other party will definitely come back to take revenge, why don't you make some preparations?" Xiao Ju asked a little puzzled.

"Why didn't you prepare? But we don't have money, and even if we do, we can't find a way to buy guns! Didn't you see that the people Hao Jinbao brought back all had guns in their hands? How do our knives and sticks fight them? Hao Qiang's face was frustrated.

Xiao Ju knew that what Hao Qiang said was the truth, she only felt a faint pain in her head, this matter was not easy to manage, it was not a simple personal vendetta dispute. At present, the struggle for territory with the communist army is gaining the upper hand, and what he represents is the interests of these big landlords and tyrants, and those people will naturally take advantage of the power of ** to come back, so as to regain what they have lost. And although she is strong in martial arts, there is only one person after all, not to mention that the safety of her mother and Zhuang Zhuang is tied to her. (To be continued......)
