Seeing Xiangzi talking and smiling, Shuzhen seemed to have a baby, and said happily: "I have a younger brother!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed the main horse, who was a little at a loss, forward.

Seeing Shuzhen's happy look, Xiangzi smiled a little in surprise and said, "Okay! There can be an uncle in the sea retreat. ”

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the main horse with his eyes, and asked in a calm voice, "How big?" ”

The main horse, who seemed a little timid, hurriedly smiled and said: "Turn over the New Year, the whole seventeen." ”

With a smile on her face but still a majestic expression, Shoko asked, "Is there anyone else in the family?" ”

Before the master Ma Zi could speak, Shuzhen preemptively said: "My parents are long gone, and like me, I am also an orphan." ”

As he spoke, his nose became inexplicably sour.

Seeing that many people were looking at themselves from afar, they forced themselves to calmly recount the situation of the main horse.

Xiangzi listened to Shuzhen's narration with a deep groan, looked at the main Ma Zi with calm and majestic eyes, and asked casually, "Do you know Ma Jiangong?" ”

The main Ma Zileng paused, looked timid and said steadily: "I've met a few times, but I haven't spoken to you." ”

A smile of relief crossed the corner of Shoko's mouth, and then asked, "When was the last time you saw him?" ”

The master Ma Zi raised his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Speaking of which, I have seen it in three or four years. At that time, I was still herding sheep for other people, and he stole other people's horses and injured them. Later, I never met again. He has always eaten alone, and does not associate with the people in the mountains. ”

Xiangzi groaned slightly, and suddenly, the conversation changed and said, "Are there any of your people in the mountains?" ”

The main Ma Zi first plucked slightly, and then said with a dissatisfied face: "Just these people, who hide in Tibet all day long, don't have a serious nest, and don't know where to go at the next stop, where Ma Zhanquan thinks, we will follow wherever he wants." ”

Xiangzi smiled at him and said, "Does Ma Zhanquan have a dark nest in the mountains to hide things?" ”

The master Ma Zi hesitated for a moment, and his timid eyes secretly glanced at the bandits who were at the base of the wall, and whispered: "There seem to be a few, all of them are the man in a fur coat and with long hair who is taking care of them, and ordinary people don't know their whereabouts." ”

Xiangzi smiled with satisfaction, and asked as if he were homely, "Does Ma Zhanquan have a good family in the mountains?" It's the kind that I go there often. ”

Master Ma Zi pondered for a moment, and muttered hesitantly: "I often go out alone, where I go, I really don't know, maybe that person knows." As he spoke, he pointed with his chin to the man in the leather cloak.

After a pause, the master Ma Zi seemed to suddenly remember something, peeked at the person at the root of the wall, lowered his voice, and said with a flickering eye: "Listen to their gossip, saying that Ma Zhanquan has two good women in the mountains." ”

As he spoke, the master Mazi raised his head and thought about it as if he was groaning, and then muttered: "One seems to have heard that it is in Lucaogou, and the other... The other one is not so clear. ”

Xiangzi smiled at him with satisfaction, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "In the future, follow your sister and live a down-to-earth life." ”

The main Ma Zi's expression became excited again, and the tears rolled in a pair of big eyes against the black face, and he was suffocated back again. It's just that the already black and red face is more colorful.

At this time, Shuzhen pretended to be displeased and approached and said, "Okay, okay." The doll was scared, and if there is anything, you can't wait until you get home. Really, holding a gourd, I want to pick out Zili. ”

Xiangzi grinned, gently patted the head of the main horse, and said nothing.

At this time, Shuzhen, as if she suddenly remembered something, seemed a little uncontrollable, dragged the arm of the master Mazi, blushed and said, "Call someone quickly!" ．．．．．． What's it called? ”

Seeing that Shuzhen was a little at a loss, Xiangzi smiled "hehe" and whispered, "Call my brother-in-law!" What else can you call it? ”

Shuzhen's face flushed, and Xingmu muttered with slight disgust: "you!" It's not serious. ”

After a pause, Shuzhen said to the master Ma Zi with a little embarrassment: "Just call it big brother!" Look at him to the beauty. ”

Lord Mazi smiled obediently, and called "big brother" respectfully to Xiangzi.

Shoko pretended to be displeased; "You kid is too honest, and your brother-in-law won't let you call for nothing."

Shuzhen, coquettishly punched Xiangzi on the shoulder, and muttered: "If you have anything to say when you go home, so many eyes are staring at mile, what nonsense." ”

Xiangzi made a playful grimace at her, and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she shouted: "Seeing that you didn't eat a few bites, the dishes are cold, let people eat some hot again, and get ready to go." ”

Shuzhen looked relaxed and said, "Don't eat, pack up and go, it's dark in the county seat, and there is still half a steamed bun here." As he spoke, he patted his coat pocket gently.

At this moment, I saw Tie Dan hurriedly coming, and Chong Shuzhen smiled and said, "Seeing that you didn't eat a few bites and put the chopsticks, I let the people warm up, come and eat a few bites." ”

Shuzhen was still hesitating, and Xiangzi smiled and said, "It's rare that Tie Dan is so attentive, so you can go eat a few more bites." ”

When he turned around, he muttered, "Do you want to bring your brother with you?" ”

When Shuzhen heard this, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses. With a little excitement, he grabbed the hand of the master horse and said, "Go!" Go to dinner with my sister. ”

Shuzhen smiled and dragged a little bandit to the dinner table, which immediately caused a slight commotion in the courtyard. People whispered, but they were afraid of Shuzhen's heroism and didn't dare to speak loudly.

Shuzhen beckoned the master Ma Zi to eat as if no one was around, but she had no intention of eating again. The main horse was a little nervous and restrained at first, especially when he was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of strange and novel eyes not far away, and he didn't know how to hold chopsticks for a while.

Seeing this, Shuzhen smiled gently and said, "Leave them alone, just eat." As he spoke, he pushed the dish towards the main horse.

At first, the main horse seemed to eat two bites tentatively, and glanced at Shuzhen happily, and then did it like a storm. After eating for a while, the main Ma Zi seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Shuzhen in a daze and said, "Sister, why don't you eat?" ”

Shuzhen smiled at him gently and said, "Sister is full, I don't want to eat anymore, it's all yours." Eat it. As he spoke, he handed the master Ma Zi a steamed bun.

The main horse was slightly stunned, then simply picked up the plate and ate it to the bottom.

The people of the militia are going to be pulled out as a team. A total of 16 bandits were captured and two were killed. Twelve guns of various types and nineteen horses were seized.

Xiangzi handed over the seized weapons to Du Shengren after registration, and used them to supplement the shortage of guns in the Three Villages Joint Defense Team.

The two bodies were buried by the Joint Defence Team. The horses and prisoners were all taken back to the county seat.

Seeing the main Ma Zi and Shuzhen, there was talk and laughter walking at the back of the team. The bandits who were tied to the horses were muttering in their hearts: That kid, I don't know when the ancestral grave was smoking, he had such a good life.

The county magistrate Kong was painting in the study, and someone came to report that Xiangzi had escorted the bandits back to the city, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed back to the county office.

After some hard work, County Magistrate Kong looked happy and melancholy, and said: "In the past two days since you left, the province has come to help recruit soldiers, and they insist that the county send out ten or eight strong men. Seeing that spring plowing is about to begin, there is a shortage of labor, which is really sad for me. ”

Hearing this, Shoko smiled strangely at him and said, "You're waiting for me to capture someone, right?" ”

County Magistrate Kong pointed at Xiangzi as if laughing at himself, and said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from you." ”

After a pause, he looked at Shoko with an inquiring gaze and said, "What's the matter?" Is there a suitable one? ”
