Seeing Li Xinchen and them escorting two people back, the villagers in the village who were originally busy with the work in their hands suddenly rushed up, and there had been no outsiders in the village for many years, and the villagers felt novel, but after thinking about it, they hadn't seen any people around recently, let alone heard that the government was going to send someone down - if there was still an official government in this troubled world - but there had been a group of bandits wandering around the village recently, so the identities of these two people had been revealed.

What's more, these two people were still tied up by Li Xinchen and a few of them, plus the knives in the hands of Li Xinchen and the others, you don't have to think about it to know that these two people are the gang of bandits who want to plot against the village.

"Brother Chen, are you catching a bandit? Well caught! I don't know who shouted first, and the surrounding villagers erupted in cheers and cheers.

Li Xinchen couldn't deny this, he just arched his hand at the villagers, and took this opportunity to think about who these somewhat familiar faces around him were according to his memory. At this moment, Li Cheng came over with a few young men who were also holding sickles or hoes in their hands, and Li Xinchen hurriedly stepped forward;

"Daddy!"

"Bring people to the ancestral hall first, don't show off here." Li Cheng commanded in a low voice, and seeing that Li Xinchen still wanted to say something, Li Cheng continued, "I can guess the identities of these two people, don't say more, let's go to the ancestral hall to talk in detail." ”

Li Xinchen knew that his father didn't want to cause panic in the village, so he nodded, and glanced at Seinfeld, and the three of them hurriedly pushed the two thieves and walked towards the ancestral hall not far away.

And the two thieves were watched by so many villagers, naturally they also felt humiliated, and struggled desperately, but they were held by several young people behind them, and they couldn't break free at all with their strength. And in order to prevent the two of them from moving again, Seinfeld and the others simply put the sickle on the necks of the two bandits.

Perhaps it was the realization that they still had a chance to live, or perhaps the coldness of the scythe calmed them down completely, and the two thieves stopped struggling and walked forward.

————————-

The ancestral hall is located in the middle of the village, and the ancestral halls of the three families are back to back, but in fact the middle is connected, and there is a sizable meeting hall where the three families can discuss together when facing difficulties.

"You caught this on the mountain road?" While walking up the steps of the ancestral hall with Li Xinchen, Li Cheng asked in a deep voice, his forehead was wrinkled, making the original many wrinkles completely crawl all over half of his face this time, making the old man look more and more haggard, but the brilliance in those eyes was still reminding Li Xinchen that it was not only his father who was standing in front of him, but also the leader of the entire village.

"Well, these two guys carved a path in the mountains, and they were caught by a few of us." Li Xinchen hurriedly replied.

Although Li Xinchen did not know what role Li Cheng played in the construction of the village in his past and present lives, he was able to sit in the position of the patriarch by himself and have the highest voice in the village, which shows that Li Cheng was definitely not an ordinary person when he was young.

In other words, heroes are born in troubled times, whether they are talented or intelligent, or their acquired abilities tempered by the harsh environment, there are few mediocre people who can save their lives in troubled times, and being able to protect the entire village in troubled times can show Li Cheng's strength.

Of course, what really interests Li Xinchen is this village like a paradise. Li Xinchen knows very well what era the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties are, from the 20 million population in the heyday of the Han Dynasty to the 5 million population in the Three Kingdoms period, and even a hundred years are useless, and then it is the Five Hu Chaohua, the clothes of the Nandu, and the Hou Jing Rebellion, this troubled era has lasted for more than 300 years, as long as there is no tragedy of cannibalism, it is already a peaceful world, and it is obviously possible to open up such a village in this troubled era that is obviously not even clear to the government, and the founder of the original village is definitely worthy of admiration.

Are they the ancestors of the Li family?

In Li Xinchen's thinking, several of them had already entered the ancestral hall, and at this time Li Xinchen found that not only he and his father Li Cheng, but also the patriarchs of the Song family and the Zheng family were also here, and as the leaders of the younger generation, Song Fei and Zheng Qing were also there, but compared to the joy when they had just caught the two bandits, the two young people were also sad and worried at this time.

"Brother Shi!" Seeing Li Cheng coming over, the two old men of the Song family and the Zheng family also stepped forward.

In this era, the most important thing is to pay attention to the relationship between the family and the clan, and the three families rely on each other in the village, and the sound of "world brother" not only shows the respect of the Song family and the Zheng family for the Li family, but also shows the deep origin and friendship of the three families.

Li Cheng nodded: "What did these two thieves say?" ”

"All they can say should be almost," the old man of the Song family said in a deep voice with a worried face, "We have encountered hard stubble this time." ”

"This is expected," Li Chengyi raised his eyebrows, "Where did these bandits come from, and how many people are there?" ”

"They are all soldiers and ruffians who ran out of the barracks, there are two or three hundred people, and they are bound to win our village!" The old man of the Zheng family knocked on the ground with a cane in his hand, "Now Ding Zhuang in our village is thirty or forty people, plus stronger women and children, and old men of our age who can go into battle, I'm afraid we can also get together eighty or ninety people, how to fight with these ruffians?" ”

Li Cheng smiled bitterly: "This is true, but the two virtuous brothers, do we still have a way out?" ”

The two old men of the Zheng family and the Song family were silent for a moment, in this troubled world, hundreds of people want to escape, how can it be so easy, where to run, and who should they go to? If there may be a glimmer of life in fighting with these ruffians, then if you are integrated into the tide of this troubled world, I don't know when you will be crushed!

"According to these two pathfinders, these ruffians should be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, that is, one or two of them have the ability to command and gather them together, as long as we can kill their sharpness, a group of rabble will retreat." Li Cheng said in a deep voice, with a kind of majesty in his voice unconsciously, "It's not the first time our village has encountered such a situation, it's just that all the thieves we have encountered before have were, and now we have really met the opponent, do you feel afraid of this little enemy?!" ”

Li Cheng's words were loud, and the two old men who wanted to say something showed a look of shame on their faces and bowed their heads slightly.

Sighing softly, Li Cheng's voice fell: "Our ancestors overcame all obstacles and opened up such a world so that we could survive in the troubled times, and now that someone has taken a fancy to it, we can't let it out of anything." It's also time to put these young people to the test, we are all old, and there must be young people to support the future of the village. ”

Hearing the word "young man", Li Xinchen, Zheng Qing and others all subconsciously puffed up their chests.
