Three watches, Qili Village, Liu Yujia.

The night is pervasive, the moonlight is like water, shining on this quiet village, the people in the village have already rested, the toads in the pond at the edge of the village are singing happily, a piece of the tranquility and tranquility of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zang Xi's eyelids have been jumping today, which makes him sleepless, since Diao Xiechu arrived in Jingkou two months ago and beat him violently, too many things have happened in Jingkou, and Liu Yu also offended the Diao brothers because of him, so that Zang Xi is very uneasy, and he has brought eggs from his own grass chicken several times to visit Liu Yu.

But every time he arrived at the door of Liu's house, he was blocked by Xiao Wenshou, and hinted between his words that he should not get too close to Liu Yu now, in case of retaliation from the Diao brothers. Zang Xi could only put down the eggs, glanced at Liu Yu who was still lying on the bed from a distance in the house, bowed a few times, and returned with tears.

But Zang Xi has not even seen Xiao Wenshou since noon today, which makes him feel very strange, Liu Yu's family is also abnormally quiet, except for Tan Pingzhi and several nephews of Wei Yong's family as guards, Xiao Wenshou and Liu Daolian, Liu Daogui brothers no longer appear.

Thinking of this, Zang Xi muttered to himself: "Brother Liu, do you value these foreigners more seriously than our fellow villagers in the past few decades?" What's going on here? You can't see me, even if you say a word. ”

Thinking of this, Zang Xi gritted his teeth, got up in his clothes, and his brother Zang Tao, who was sleeping on the side, was woken up by his movements, rubbing his eyes, and said, "Brother, what's wrong, are you going to get up at night?" ”

Zang Xi shook his head: "No, I'm going to see Brother Liu, only when I see others, I can feel at ease, this time the incident is because of me, at this time, I can't be afraid of eating melons." ”

Zang Tao laughed and sat up: "Brother, I'll accompany you." ”

While the two were talking, suddenly there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the house, very thin, very light, and they couldn't be heard at all if they didn't listen to it, and then the rhubarb of Xu Xian's house on the opposite side screamed twice, and they couldn't hear it anymore.

Zang Xi's face changed: "It's not good, someone enters the village, get up quickly." ”

The two brothers rushed out of the house, and under the moonlight, dozens of black shadows were flying through the eaves and walls, constantly passing through the roof and the courtyard wall, heading straight to Liu Yu's house, and the few black shadows led by them had clearly jumped into the courtyard of Liu Yu's house, and the action was so fast that it was difficult to describe in words.

Zang Xi picked up the hoe in the yard, while Zang Xi grabbed the hunting bow and arrow directly from the wall, and the two shouted at the top of their voices: "Come on, come on, come on, there are thieves entering the village!" ”

As the two of them barked, all the dogs in the village barked, a gong sounded, and every household turned on the lights, and the villagers of Qili Village copied farm tools and bows and arrows one after another, and some people also copied the spears and swords that had been hidden in their hands, screamed and rushed out, and ran towards Liu Yu's house.

When Zang Xi rushed into the courtyard of the Liu family's house, the door of the courtyard had been opened, and several side rooms were also open, and Liu Yu's family's already few farm tools were scattered everywhere, and even the large water tank between the walls of the stove was smashed into several pieces, and the water flowed all over the ground, and even overflowed outside the house and flowed into the courtyard.

Zang Xi was so anxious that he stomped his foot: "It's not good, it's too late!" He hurriedly rushed into Liu Yu's bedroom, only to see a person lying on the bed, covered with wounds, but his face was blue and purple, swollen high. But compared to his already puffy face, it didn't grow much. This person is not Liu Yu, but Liu Muzhi.

Zang Xi's eyes widened in surprise: "Fatty, how could it be you?" ”

Liu Muyi covered his face and scolded: "The thief who killed the heavens dared to beat me!" ”

At this time, the villagers also rushed in, and the village chief Xiang Tao was a middle-aged man in his forties, with two bright single knives in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?!" ”

Liu Muzhi stood up and threw away the wound belt on his body: "Uncle Xiang, there are thieves who want to harm the slaves, but fortunately we have been prepared." That's why their plot didn't succeed. ”

Xiang Tao's eyes widened, looking at the surroundings of the house, it had already been turned into a mess, almost no intact furniture was still in place, all the cabinets were opened, and a bunch of rags were thrown all over the ground, obviously the person who came had just searched for it, that is, it was a matter of a few minutes.

And several young offspring helped three people into this room, two of these three people were children, one was a woman, but they were not Liu Yu's family of three, but they were wearing the clothes of Liu Yu's family.

Xu Xianzhi looked at a child and said, "You, I've seen it, aren't you Tan Yizhi's family?" ”

A child who looked to be seven or eight years old nodded: "Yes, my name is Tan Daoji, and my uncle asked us to pretend to be Liu Yu's family and lie here in case someone comes to harm his family." Sure enough, some thieves came tonight and slapped me twice and asked where they had gone. ”

The young man's face was swollen high, a palm print was particularly obvious, and the tears in his eyes were shining, but he couldn't bear to cry, such a big child, after experiencing such a thing, can still behave like this, not only makes people secretly praise.

Xiang Tao stepped forward and squatted down, held Tan Daoji's shoulder, and said softly: "We are all Liu Yu's fellow villagers, we are good people, and we are here to help you, don't be afraid, you are safe now." It's just Liu Yu, where did they go? Also, who is here today, can you see clearly? ”

Tan Daoji shook his head: "I can't see clearly in the night, these people are dressed in black, their faces are covered with cloth, and their words are deliberately vague, presumably to hide their identities." ”

Xiang Tao gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "These bold dog thieves actually dare to touch here to commit murder, if I let me know who did it, I will definitely soak them in the pig cage!" ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Uncle Xiang, don't worry about this, now that Liu Yu's family has been moved to a safe place, you don't have to worry about him, early tomorrow morning, let's go to report to the official." ”

Xu Xianzhi shouted angrily: "I'm afraid it's an official and bandit family, pretending to be a murderer." ”

Xiang Tao's face changed, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "Xiao Xu, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Xu Xianzhi sneered: "Who is Brother Liu's enemy, how he was injured, everyone knows it, I think, don't report to the official this time, find a way to go to Beijing." ”

Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Okay, Xiao Xu, the people don't fight with the officials, let's wait for Liu Yu to come back, thank you for coming to help today, let's disperse first." ”

Xu Xianzhi muttered unwillingly: "The thief also killed my rhubarb and gave me my dog's life!" As he spoke, he looked relieved, turned around and walked away, and the villagers in the courtyard also left one after another under the leadership of Xiang Tao. Only Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly, looked in the direction of Jingkou City, and muttered: "Jinu, good luck." ”
