The moon hung high in the sky, as if the world had nothing to do with it, and the milky white moonlight enveloped the whole land, encompassing all the devastation, adding a little tenderness to both of them.

Li Le and his entourage dragged their tired bodies, but they just took one step at a time, and finally found a village where there was no one in ten.

Although this Zhuangzi was lucky to survive the flood, the damage caused to them by this disaster was also huge.

As far as the eye can see, many of the houses have collapsed in half, and it is not known where the original owner of the house is, perhaps someone else has fled, or he may have disappeared in the flood.

Li Le let out a long sigh and led the group to knock on the door of a room that was still intact.

An old woman with a wrinkled face opened the door, frowned, and looked at them for a long time by the moonlight, "Who are you?" ”

Li Le blinked, and only after a long time did he reply softly, "We are people sent down by the government." ”

"What?"

The old woman obviously couldn't hear clearly behind her ears, and she repeated her words loudly and in need, and after the old woman asked several times, she finally understood, and then the old tears flowed.

"It would have been nice if you had come earlier, my son, who had disappeared for no apparent reason."

The old woman's voice had a strong local accent, but she was barely able to understand it, probably especially when she told it with tears and blood, which made Li Le's whole heart even more wracket.

"Auntie, don't worry, your son will be fine."

She frowned, and I continued to comfort the old woman who had already touched her tears, and asked in a trembling voice, "I don't know what is the important matter of a few officials visiting late at night?" ”

"There is no store in front of the village, it is rare to see a village, we are really tired of walking, so we want to come and spend the night, knowing that the eldest lady's house has a place to rest?"

Mu Changjin couldn't bear it when he saw Li Lemian, and he didn't know how to speak, so he simply said it bluntly.

The old woman nodded, quickly opened the door, and pulled them in, "This room was originally very small, but this flood has washed all the furniture out, and now there are only these four walls." ”

She touched the darkness, and by virtue of her habit, she lit the candle on the table, and by the dim candlelight, the two of them could see clearly, this old woman's house was really a family with four walls.

The eldest lady spread the only remaining futon on the ground, "I'm already old, I don't need this thick quilt, and it won't be too cold in the middle of the night, so let's cover it for the two officials." ”

Li Le's frowning brows have not been loosened since the candlelight was lit.

She naturally knew how hard the people on this side were, but she didn't expect that the old woman in front of her would be so hard.

How many families were killed by this flood is probably an unknown number.

The two of them shirked it, and insisted that the old woman cover the quilt, and the two of them slept with their clothes, but the old woman was so reluctant that she borrowed two chairs and tables from a neighbor, and put them together into a wooden bed that barely looked a little decent, and let the two of them lie down.

For the personal maids and attendants brought by him, they were also scattered to other neighbors' houses, and the provincial nest could not be squeezed into the same house.

Who knew that when I slept until midnight, I heard the sound of shouting and killing outside.

Li Le was already sleeping lightly, and as soon as there was any movement, he immediately opened his eyes.

A pair of clear and bright eyes, which can be seen clearly in the dark night.

She turned her head to look at Mu Changjin, who was sleeping sweetly on the side, but saw that he didn't know when he had woken up.

"It smells of blood."

Mu Changjin's voice was extremely low, he squinted his eyes slightly, and stood up.

Then the two of them heard a commotion outside, probably asking the people inside to hand over their things, or else they would do it.

Before the two of them could touch the door, a woman's cry outside suddenly shrivelled, "Let go of my child!" At the same time, the sound of a baby crying could be heard.

But in the next second, the woman's voice stopped abruptly, and then the child died silent.

Li Le's eyes widened and he looked at Mu Changjin in disbelief.

The robbers outside clearly killed all the big and the small!

The latter's face was tense, he obviously didn't expect to encounter such a tricky situation, frowning and hesitating.

The guards all left first, and the two of them were followed by two maids who could be regarded as powerless.

Right now, they are the only ones who can go out and stop this group of robbers.

She gritted her teeth, unable to look at it, and reached out and pulled the door open.

But it was Mu Changjin who rushed out first.

He looked at the woman lying motionless on the ground, and the baby lying quietly beside her, and his anger rose sharply.

Mu Changjin pulled out his saber at once, and several robbers couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw that there were people who were not afraid of death, but after seeing the clothes of the person who came clearly, their eyes were almost glowing green.

The leader looked greedily at the jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his saliva almost dripped down.

He robbed his house and house, didn't he do everything for a money?

This flood forced them to be so poor that they had nothing left, and the government yamen shouted disaster relief every day, but half of the shadow has not been seen until now, so it is better to take risks.

Now when you see a fat sheep in front of you, how can you not be moved?

He laughed, "Where did you come from to be a boy who doesn't know the suffering of the world?" Leave all the valuable goods on you, and we'll let you live! ”

Then he turned his eyes and looked at Li Le, who was standing behind him, and after looking at it, his eyes lit up, "What a little beauty with a sign, if you leave with the master, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

The tone of his voice was full of ridicule and disgusting greed, and it was disgusting to listen to.

Li Le naturally couldn't listen to it anymore, her eyes followed Mu Changjin's line of sight to the ground, and there were two people, one big and one small, lying on the shocking pool of blood.

By this time the sky was turning white, and it was almost dawn, and she vowed to reveal the pain and fear of the woman before she died.

What is sad is that the baby who has lost his breath is still so young, he has not even grown up to babble at the age of one or two, and now he can't see the sun of the second day.

Her lips trembled for a long time, and then she raised her eyes to look at the man with blood on the knife, "Just you, you want to take me away?" ”

"The little lady looks not tall, but her courage is higher than the sky."

After the man laughed greasy twice, he took two steps forward, raised his knife and pointed straight at Mu Changjin's front door.

"This little husband is also quite handsome, but it's a pity that Uncle Ben is not good for me, otherwise I will take it back for training, and it may have a different taste."

Before he spoke, the group of accomplices behind him also burst out laughing, apparently thinking that the idea of their leader was very mocking.

Mu Changjin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and directly stabbed the long sword in his hand into the man's chest without saying a word.

The man was stunned for a long time, as if he didn't react to what was happening, blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then, between two breaths, he was already lying on the ground, convulsions and speechless.

After a few moments, there was no sound, and he lay on the ground as a dead body.

The group of accomplices behind this robber were obviously still stunned, and after they reacted, their first reaction was not to take revenge on their boss, but to scatter in a hurry and want to escape.

Originally, Mu Changjin had already stopped his hand and was about to let them go, but he didn't expect that one of the men would grab a young girl's neck and lift it high into the sky like a chicken.

"I'm going to let everyone here bury the boss!"

He roared angrily, and was about to throw the little girl in his hand to the ground, between the lightning and flint, Mu Changjin had already rushed forward, and a sword stabbed into the man's waist, the man was in pain, and his hands were loosened, and the girl was thrown down from the sky.

The girl was already scared stupid, nestled in Mu Changjin's arms, and couldn't say a word.

After she was taken away by her relatives, she finally cried out with a wow.

Immediately, Li Le also made a move, although she said that force was not good, but she had some miscellaneous medicinal powders on her body, and just now she had spread these medicinal powders into the air while Mu Changjin was delaying time.

Moreover, this medicine only affects young and middle-aged men, he had already given Mu Changjin a pill when he went out before, and now it seems that only the two of them and the remaining old and weak women and children in this village will be safe.

The effects of the medicine had already taken place in a few breaths, and the bandits, who were still holding the avenue and shouting to kill like hemp, were now paralyzed like mud.

Although most of the two of them were killed, they still kept a few alive, after all, they had to be brought back for interrogation and interrogation.

As a result, the two of them only asked two questions, and all of them were recruited.

It turned out that these people were originally honest farmers, but this flood was really menacing, and the crops in their fields were not harvested, which led them to embark on this road.

What's more, the government's disaster relief funds have been delayed for a long time, and the people below are miserable, they really have no other way, in order to survive, they have become bandits.

And generally speaking, they didn't do anything to kill, just because their leader was robbed by another person, and that person happened to be a murderous person, and he was originally dissatisfied, but he happened to be solved by Li Le and the two of them, but they admired the two of them.

Li Le pursed his lips, in this way, in fact, this group of people is also hard-working, in the final analysis, natural disasters are really no way to do it.

If the money had been allocated earlier, so that it could reach the hands of the people earlier, I am afraid that today's tragedy would not have happened.

Li Le sighed, thinking about the two women and children who died tragically, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

"Don't be too upset, it's almost over, and everything will be fine."
