Just as Ren Xiaonian was in the hands of his gods, a black shadow came out from under the bed, and when he looked at it, he was just a half-old child, his movements were also agile, and he rolled over like a little tiger, holding Ren Xiaonian's calf with both hands, and with a mouth, Kaba bit down fiercely.

Ren Xiaonian has leg armor tied to his calves, and Ren Xiaonian doesn't feel much when he takes this vicious mouth, but the child is unlucky, and he doesn't know how many baby teeth he has lost. When Ren Xiaonian bent down and lifted him up, the little guy was full of blood and whined.

Ren Xiaonian couldn't help laughing.

Holding a knife in his left hand and a half-grown child with a mouth full of blood in his right hand, Ren Xiaonian at this time, no matter from that point of view, looks like an extremely evil villain.

The woman screamed miserably, and with one hand, she threw herself at Ren Xiaonian.

Ren Xiaonian sent his right hand forward, sent the child to the woman's arms, and at the same time took a step sideways, avoiding the woman who couldn't hold her feet, seeing the woman holding the child and rushing towards the wall, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the woman's shoulder, and dragged her back alive.

The woman who came back fell to the ground, holding the child with both hands, half of her body was on her side, protecting the child under her, her coiled hair also fell down, covering most of her face, and turned her head to look at Ren Xiaonian, with a pleading look on her face.

Ren Xiaonian also put the knife into the sheath and squatted down in front of the woman: "This sister-in-law, we are the army of the imperial court, not bad people." We're just trying to borrow your house for a while. ”

Seeing that the woman was still vigilant, Ren Xiaonian sighed, and didn't know how to explain to this woman for a while, when he suddenly heard a voice under the bed, he turned his head to look, but saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him under the bed, and when he looked closely, it was a little girl doll about five or six years old who was curled up like a kitten.

"Little sister, come out!" Ren Xiaonian beckoned.

The little doll slowly crawled out from under the bed, trembling and snuggling up to the woman and boy.

Ren Xiaonian stood up, walked out of the house, took out a canned fruit from his horseback leather bag, returned to the side room, pried open the iron sheet on the can with a knife, and put it in front of the three of them. He smiled, didn't speak, and walked out.

Outside, the rain was still falling, and the people were carrying bags of grain to the house and stacking them.

"Battalion Captain, the situation is not quite right, in this village, there is not a single young man in sight, and the rest are either orphans and widows, or seventy or eighty." A gang leader walked in and said.

"There's nothing strange about it, it's estimated that he was captured by the Pinglu Army as a coolie." Ren Xiaonian shook his head: "You didn't scare them, did you?" ”

"Where to use us to scare, when they see that we don't dare to speak or move, they don't dare to raise their heads when we say anything, let alone respond." The guy said helplessly.

"Give each family a little copper money, which is considered compensation for us to requisition their houses." Ren Xiaonian thought for a while, and then said: "Send some canned food to each family to appease, speak softly, don't be rude." ”

"Got it!" The captain turned and left.

Ren Xiaonian was startled again when she turned around, I don't know when, the woman with a black face opened the curtain of the side compartment and stood by the door, two small heads on the left and right poked out from her left and right, and there was still some flesh left on the side of the little girl's mouth, when Ren Xiaonian turned her head to look over, she just rolled her tongue and licked the flesh on the side of her mouth into her mouth. There was still blood at the corner of the boy's mouth, and the bite was really hard.

"Little guy, you bit me and broke my teeth, you can't blame me!" Ren Xiaonian looked at the boy with a smile and said.

The boy reached out and covered his mouth.

The woman walked out and was blessed.

"Sister-in-law, we are really not bad people, we are the army of the imperial court. If it's not troublesome, please ask my sister-in-law to boil some hot water for us. Ren Xiaonian said, he knew that saying too much at the moment would not have any effect, it was better to support her to do something, but it would make her let down her guard.

The woman silently turned around and walked to the back room, the little girl doll followed her like a fart, but the boy stayed, staring at Ren Xiaonian's calves.

Ren Xiaonian smiled, generously stretched out his legs, and knocked with the scabbard, "See, iron, boy, bite without understanding the situation, right?" ”

The boy brought the hand behind his back to the front, and a jar that had eaten cleanly and did not even leave the soup was presented in front of Ren Xiaonian.

"Delicious, right?" Ren Xiaonian asked with a grin.

"Delicious!" The boy finally spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the stacks of grain in the room. "I'm hungry, my sister is hungry, my mother is hungry. We haven't eaten in two days. ”

Ren Xiaonian was taken aback, "Why haven't you eaten for two days?" Don't you have any food at home? ”

"Originally, there were some of them, but two days ago, a lot of people came, and they also said that they were officials and soldiers, and then they snatched everything they could eat at home." The little boy was visibly palpitating, and his voice was a little shaky.

Ren Xiaonian's eyes narrowed suddenly: "Two days ago? ”

"Hmm." The little boy said.

"How many people are there?"

"There are a lot, a lot of black and a lot of horses." The little boy pointed to Ren Xiaonian's war horse outside.

Ren Xiaonian took a deep breath, walked to the door, and said loudly: "Come here, inform all the officers above the gang leader, as well as the leaders of the Minfu team, to come to my meeting!" ”

Turning around and looking at the little boy, Ren Xiaonian smiled and said, "Good boy, you have done me a great favor, I want to reward you." As soon as he turned around, he took a bag from the soaked grain bags on the other side and put it in front of the little boy: "Although it is wet, the grain is good food, and it is enough for your mother to dry it, which is enough for your family of three to eat for a long time." ”

The little boy was overjoyed, and he stepped forward to grab the grain bag and wanted to drag it to the back room, but a bag of grain was at least fifty catties.

Ren Xiaonian laughed, waved his hand and asked a man to carry the little guy to the back, and the little boy quickly followed.

A moment later, the woman from before walked out, and at this moment she had already washed the ashes from her face, and she looked very good, but her face was vegetable, obviously hungry. Walking up to Ren Xiaonian, he knelt down with a bang: "Thank you for the military master's appreciation!" ”

Ren Xiaonian helped him and said, "This sister-in-law, please get up, we are the imperial army, of course we can't watch our own people starving." By the way, your son said that the army robbed your family of food two days ago? Any idea where they came from? How many people are there? ”

"The slave family doesn't know very well, they only know that these people are the same people who took the child's father in the first place." The woman said in a low voice: "The slave family doesn't know how many of them there are, anyway, there are hundreds of people who come to the village." They robbed every household of food, and as long as they had food, they all took it away. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I know." Ren Xiaonian's face was a little heavy, if there were hundreds of people coming to the village, I was afraid that there would be a lot of people in this team.

"By the way, I heard some of them call the leader General Liu." The woman turned her head and took a few steps back, then stopped and turned her head.

The surname is Liu!

There are famous generals surnamed Liu in Linzi, one is Liu Xinda, who is an enemy general, and it is impossible to appear in this place, and there is also a person named Liu Santong who has fought with Ren Xiaonian, I am afraid that most of them are him.

Liu Xinda is so courageous, he has been beaten like this, and he is still worried about the grain road of the Tang army, so he put a soldier and horse outside.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little chill in my heart, I was afraid that my own country had already been targeted by others along the way, maybe it was because of this sudden flood that the other party's attack plan would blow up, otherwise I would be unlucky if I was suddenly attacked by others halfway.

But it is clear that the other party has set his sights on him. Now, the danger is not lifted. From the fact that these guys even have to rob these poor families of food, it shows that they are also extremely short of food. Even if they suffer heavy losses now, and there is not much food to be transported to the front, I am afraid that they will still come to grab a handful, because they themselves have to eat.

After thinking about it, the officers and the leaders of the people who had already been on the gang had all gathered over, and Ren Xiaonian told him the general situation, and everyone's expressions became solemn.

"I don't know how many people there are in the enemy, but at least it won't be less than a thousand." Ren Xiaonian said: "Maybe they still have a lot of cavalry, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, if they are nearby, they will definitely attack us." ”

"There are only three hundred of us!" An officer said.

"Not a lot. Isn't it enough for the three hundred Tang Army to deal with those useless Pinglu Army? What's more, we still have more than 300 young people! Ren Xiaonian turned his gaze to the leader of the people: "This time, you are only afraid that you will also prepare for battle." When I first entered the village, I took a look at it, and now the house we are in is in the best terrain, so we can concentrate all the food here, so as to prevent the enemy from destroying it if they can't grab it, although there is not much food, but we must also protect it. ”

"Yes!"

"Gather the families here as well, lest they suffer from the fish in the pond when the time comes." Ren Xiaonian said: "I will assign a task, immediately arrange defense, from now on, everyone must be 120,000 points of spirit." ”

"Do you want to release scouts?"

"No need, just hold here." Ren Xiaonian shook his head.
