"PS: Thank you [Lawyer He] for the reward of 10,000 yuan! ~ Thank you [Fenglan is not romantic] for the big guy who rewarded 10,000 coins! ~』

———— the following text————

On that day, in order to celebrate the looting of a lot of grain and poultry from Feng Village, Yang Tong, the owner of the village, ordered the gang to prepare a sumptuous meal.

Considering the shortage of manpower in the room, Zhao Yu, Jingnu, and Xu Fen decided to return to the room to help.

Knowing the intention of the three of them, not to mention Deng Bai, Deng Song, and Ning Niang, even Zhu Wang was a little moved, after all, at this moment, Zhao Yu, Jingnu, and Xu Fen have all been qualified as bandits, especially Zhao Yu, who is even valued by Yang Tong, the owner of the village, and there is no need to go back to the room to do those chores.

"Good boy, I don't forget my brothers and sisters of the old days when I got married, and I value love and righteousness!"

Zhu Wang praised the three of them.

After complimenting, he changed his words and said to Zhao Yu and the three of them with a smile: "But there is no need to help, there are enough people in the room." ”

"Enough?"

Just when Zhao Yu and the others were wondering, they saw several women with children walking out of the room.

"These people are ......"

Looking at those women, Zhao Yu had vaguely guessed a few points.

These women and children should be the wives and children of the bandits who died a few days ago.

Sure enough, Zhu Wang's subsequent explanation confirmed his guess: "That's right. …… You are about to move out of the house, and there is a shortage of people in the house, so the owner of the village called those women to help, and they can't let them eat the food in the village for nothing, right, they have to do some work. ”

Listening to Zhu Wang's words, Zhao Yu and Jingnu glanced at each other, not knowing how to evaluate it.

To put it badly, Yang Tong's move is a bit of a cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the thieves under his hand died in order to protect the cottage, and immediately called their wives and children to work in the house; But at best, this move is still a bit humane, at least Yang Tong did not drive out these orphans and widows.

Compared with Zhao Yu and Jingnu, Xu Fen's reaction to this was very calm, and he didn't think so, after all, that's how he came over in the first place.

Because of the help of those women and the care of Zhu Wang, the lives of Deng Bai, Deng Song, and Ning Niang were not hard, the Deng brothers were responsible for staring at the boiling water and cooking, and Ning Niang was responsible for watching the stove.

Guarding the stove, this is the most relaxed, from time to time to stuff some firewood into the stove, most of the time sitting there in a daze, the only bad thing is that it is a little hot, and nothing else.

Before dusk, when the women carried the wooden barrels full of food to the big house, Zhao Yu, Xu Fen, and Jing Nu were actually qualified to enter and leave the big house, but they did not go, but ate with Zhu Wang, Deng Bai, Deng Song, and Ning Niang.

Zhao Yu, Zhu Wang, Jingnu, and Xu Fen are all serious bandits recognized by the village, and they want to leave a few chickens and a few pieces of meat, of course those women don't dare to say anything, and the thieves in the cottage will not have any opinions.

In the dirty room, Deng Bai and Deng Song grabbed a piece of meat and bit it deliciously, while Ning Niang didn't care about the greasy clothes, and gnawed on a chicken leg with a happy face, while Xu Fen looked at them with a smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu finally understood why Xu Fen was in a hurry to be a bandit.

"Come, fill it up for my good brother."

Obviously, Zhu Wang also knew Xu Fen, with a slightly ridiculous smile on his drunken face, he poured a bowl of wine for Xu Fen, and said with a smile: "Drink, now you are qualified to drink." ”

After that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and Jingnu: "What about you two, are you interested?" ”

Zhao Yu and Jingnu shook their heads.

Both of them had drunk alcohol, and neither of them liked the sour wine.

However, the two brothers Deng Bai and Deng Song dared to be interested, and scrambled to say: "Uncle Leper, Uncle Leper, give us a whole bowl?" ”

Zhu Wang immediately straightened his face: "You two? Hey! You're not qualified to eat and drink yet! ”

But having said that, when Deng Bai and Deng Song rushed to drink Xu Fen's bowl of wine, Zhu Wang didn't stop him.

Even Ning Niang took a sip out of curiosity, but immediately wrinkled her face.

After the meal, Zhao Yu and Jingnu told a few people that they were going to move out, except for Zhu Wang's drunken and emotional face, Deng Bai, Deng Song, and Ning Niang were all a little lost.

Deng Bai and Deng Song brothers are okay, they are more happy for Zhao Yu and Jingnu, but Ning Niang cried: "Brother Xu moved out, and now Brother Erhu and Brother Jing have also moved out......"

She tugged at the sleeve of the Jing Nu who was sitting next to her, and cried, "Don't you move out, okay?" ”

Looking at the crying Ning Niang, Jingnu was also a little unbearable.

Although she hated the bandits and this cottage, after a few months of getting along, she also developed a deep friendship with Xu Fen and others, especially Ning Niang, who called her 'Brother Jing'.

However, she really wanted to have a room alone with Zhao Yu.

One is to avoid the leakage of the secret of her daughter's body.

After all, in the past few months, she has seen the thieves in the village come down the mountain to rob the young women, and she has heard the young women crying, pleading, and moaning at night, and what terrifizes her is that the women do not look much older than her.

Although the people in the village generally do not attack their own people, who can guarantee it?

Those drunken thieves, even Ning Niang can tease - this is why Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song never let Ning Niang go to the mansion to deliver wine and food.

As for the second point, she really wanted to have a relatively safe environment where she could take a shower.

From last year's climb to the present, she hasn't had a chance to wash her body.

Months......

Oh, my God!

She didn't dare to think about it any longer.

Perhaps for the children of ordinary poor families, it is nothing to not take a bath for a few months, such as Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song, who are said to go to the river below the mountain to wash their bodies every summer.

Usually, if the body is really itchy and uncomfortable, Deng Bai and the others simply wipe their bodies in the house, and they don't care about other people walking around.

The same goes for Ning Niang.

I still remember that Jingnu was blushing when she saw it, and drove Zhao Yu, Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song out.

Even, she robbed Xu Fen of her errand and helped Ning Niang take a bath, which made Xu Fen feel inexplicable, after all, for Ning Niang like her sister, he had helped her take a bath more than once, and he didn't know why Jing Nu reacted so much.

Zhao Yu spent a lot of thought about this matter at the time, and finally came up with an excuse to fool the past: Jingnu likes Ning Niang.

Xu Fen suddenly realized.

Looking at Jingnu's embarrassed appearance, Zhao Yu smiled and comforted Ning Niang and said: "We just moved out of the house, and we didn't leave this cottage, we will still come back from time to time to see, besides, if you think about us, you can also go to us." ”

Ning Niang glanced at Xu Fen and said in frustration: "I promised Brother Xu, I can't run out of the room too far alone......

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Xu Fen, of course he understood the reason why Xu Fen told Ning Niang like that, and immediately said with a smile: "Then let's come to see how you are and come every day." ”

"Do you come every day?" Ning Niang said with wide eyes.

"Of course!" Zhao Yu swore solemnly.

Hearing this, Ning Niang burst into tears and laughed.

Before nightfall, Zhao Yu, Xu Fen, and Jingnu left the room and returned to their new residences.

Lying on the straw bunk that Jingnu had put away, Zhao Yu pillowed his hands and thought about what was next.

At present, he has defected to Yang Tong, but he has also had a rift with Chen Mo and others because of this.

Of course, it doesn't matter, Chen Mo's personality will not be aimed at him, as long as he avoids Liu Tu and others in the future.

As for Yang Tong's side, Zhao Yu has been appreciated by Yang Tong for the time being, but he has not yet completely made Yang Tong pay attention to him, let alone obey his words, but he is not in a hurry, because in recent months, he has thought of a lot of ideas in advance that can be used to win Yang Tong's attention.

Including persuading Yang Tong to negotiate with Fengcun today, these were all thought out by Zhao Yu in advance.

On the one hand, it is of course to arouse Yang Tong's attention to him, and on the other hand, he is also to make this cottage 'transform'.

He is confident that sooner or later he will become the owner of this cottage, so there are some things he can do in advance, such as letting this cottage 'transform', from the thieves who robbed homes and houses in the past, and did all kinds of evil, to gradually transform into a thief who collects local 'protection fees', while avoiding indiscriminate killing of innocents, it can also ensure the food and use of those thieves in the cottage, and more importantly, it will not cause too much disgust from the government.

Since ancient times, all the thieves who do a lot of evil, none of them can last long, first of all, the government will not tolerate it, and secondly, the public will not tolerate it, when the government and the public opinion gather, these evil thieves will be eradicated without exception, if a county can't do it, then the county will come forward; If the county can't do it, then the imperial court will come forward directly.

It's just a group of thieves who occupy the mountains as kings, how can they resist the encirclement and suppression of the country?

Therefore, Zhao Yu decided to adopt a smarter approach to the nearby villages, using exploitation instead of direct looting, so that although there will be some public resentment, it will not make a boil, forcing the government to send troops to encircle and suppress.

In this regard, Zhao Yu sorted out some ideas and prepared to propose them to Yang Tong tomorrow.

All in all, it is necessary to gain Yang Tong's trust and respect as soon as possible, and then ......

Get rid of him!

Fill somebody's shoes!

A hint of fierceness flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes.

At this moment, Jing Nu's voice came from beside him: "Brother, brother? ”

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Jingnu and asked with a pleasant face, "What's wrong?" ”

“……”

Recalling the trace of ruthlessness in Zhao Yu's eyes, Jing Nu could vaguely guess a few points but didn't want to delve into it, and after shaking her head, she said a little twistedly: "I boiled a bucket of water and wanted to clean my body, can my brother help me look at it?" ”

Zhao Yu suddenly said with a smile: "Okay." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked outside the house, seeing this, Jingnu hurriedly stopped him: "It's cold outside the house, just be inside the house." …… My brother just needs to help me look out the window to see if anyone is passing by. ”

As she spoke, she gently pushed Zhao Yu to the window, because the paste paper on the window was almost rotten, and when Jing Nu cleaned up the house today, she sealed it with a few pieces of cloth, but there were still gaps between the cloths, and when she picked up one of them, she could still see the outside of the house.

At this time, Jingnu had already carried the bucket of hot water to the corner of the room on Zhao Yu's right, and took off her clothes sparsely.

"Anyone?" She asked in a whisper.

"Nope."

Zhao Yu subconsciously turned his head and glanced at it.

Immediately, he saw Jingnu's flat lower abdomen, and above the lower abdomen, the two small bamboo shoots that had risen slightly......

“……”

Noticing Zhao Yu's gaze, Jingnu didn't have any overreaction, after all, she was destined to be the woman in front of her in the future.

But out of shyness, she still subconsciously covered her chest with her arms, and her face was flushed.

"Ahem, I didn't mean to."

With a cough, Zhao Yu changed the angle of standing.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, but I've grown up......

Embarrassed, he thought unconsciously.
