CHAPTER XII

When Li Lian'er heard Li Xiuxian accusing her grandfather, she was immediately a little dissatisfied, and said with an unkind face: "Maybe grandpa has something to think about, but think about it, since last year, all the people in Lixian County and Qingjiang County who have anything to do with our cottage have been imprisoned by Wang Qi, and the next step is to investigate this Badong County, even if the second uncle does not show up, I am afraid that you will be found in the near future." ”

Li Xiuxian's face turned a little pale when he heard this, and he sat down on the chair and sighed. Li Lian'er saw that he was a little loose, so she struck while the iron was hot: "Second grandfather, it's too late, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Uncle and Brother Yuan, call Uncle Shang and Lian'er back to the cottage." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden noise in the courtyard outside the door, and the voice of one of the men was particularly eager: "You get out of the way of Lao Tzu, get out of the way - Dad, mother, are you okay?" ”

"Is it uncle?" Li Lian'er asked.

Li Xiuxian and his wife knew their son's temper, worried that he would conflict with everyone, and they didn't care to answer Li Lian'er, the two hurriedly opened the door, and looked at the hundred or so people holding torches in front of them, red and angry, Li Xiuxian shouted: "Get out of Lao Tzu's yard fucking out, I don't know and think that Lao Tzu is holding a bandit oath meeting - Sheng'er, you come in!" ”

Li Lian'er walked to the door and nodded at a few small leaders, and the bandits moved out of the courtyard. The man who was shouting eagerly just now ran out of the crowd without hindrance, and saw that his father and mother were not only unharmed, but also the people in the yard were driven out by his father, and asked in confusion: "Dad, who are these people?" ”

Li Xiuxian shook his head: "Sheng'er, you come in, my father has something to discuss with you." ”

The man sighed, and saw a young woman in armor standing beside his father, full of doubts, and followed the three into the house. Before he could ask, he saw the young woman salute herself: "You are an uncle, right?" ”

Pi Yang naturally recognized the man, named Li Desheng, Li Xiuxian's youngest son, born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, burly physique, good at hunting in the mountains, at the age of nineteen, he married the daughter of the Tong blacksmith family in the county, and had a son, who is now studying in the county academy.

Li Desheng was stunned by the strange woman in front of him: "Who are you?" ”

"Uncle, Lian'er doesn't have time to explain, you and your aunt hurry up and collect 。。。。。" Before Li Lian'er could speak, she only heard a bandit outside the door panting and hurriedly announcing: "Second Miss, a large group of people and horses have appeared at the foot of Baique Mountain, and they are advancing rapidly, and I am afraid that they have already arrived in the canyon at this time." ”

Li Lian'er was shocked, opened the door and said hurriedly: "How many people do they have?" ”

"The little one was in the dumb place at the time, too far away from them, and before he could see the specific number of people, he was in a hurry to report to the second lady, but when he saw that the fire was several miles long, I was afraid that there were no less than five hundred people."

No less than five hundred? Pi Yang said in his heart, if he just came to arrest Grandpa Li, why do he need as many as 500 people? The group was probably coming for the bandits.

Li Lian'er pondered for a moment, waved her little hand, summoned the little leaders, and ordered: "Tell the brothers to drag the horses to the woods behind the house, put out the torches, and everyone hide, waiting for the opportunity." "The little bosses have to be ordered to go.

Hiding in the woods behind the house? Isn't it behind you? Pi Yang said in his heart, this little girl is really fucking talented, don't hurry up and find a path to escape, and squat in the woods to make an egg.

Seeing that the hiding place could not stay any longer, and could not continue to listen, he took advantage of the bandits to lead the horses, and returned the same way, and when Piyang returned home, the east had turned out a touch of fish belly white, and the sky was already dark.

Wu Qinghe's grandfather and grandson were sitting at the table and waiting anxiously, when they saw Pi Yang open the door and walked in, Wu Zixin immediately got up and grabbed him, and said eagerly: "How is grandpa and grandma, are they okay?" ”

Pi Yang patted the back of her hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, they're fine, that group of people made a special trip to find Grandpa Li's family." After speaking, without waiting for Wu Zixin to ask again, he walked to the table and sat down, and glanced at Wu Qinghe: "Grandpa Wu, how much do you know about the origin of Grandpa Li's family?" ”

Hearing that his in-laws were fine, Wu Qinghe's heart that had been put down was suspended again by Pi Yang's question, and his voice trembled a little: "What? - That group of people is from Qiyunzhai? Seeing Pi Yang nodded, he sighed and said: "When the Li family came to the village in the past, I was only in my early twenties, and at first no one knew where their family came from. It's just that Li Gong is modest, and it didn't take long for him to get acquainted with the people in the village, and when he introduced his in-laws to others, he only called him an only son. After forming a family of in-laws, he once set up a dragon gate array after drinking, and heard from his in-laws, in fact, he also has an elder brother, named Li Xiude, who was kicked out of the house by Li Gong because of his natural disobedience, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead for many years. Although I heard that the owner of Qiyunzhai is also called Li Xiude, I just happened to have the same name and surname, so I didn't think about it, but later I heard that Zixin's second uncle also entered Qiyunzhai, and I knew the relationship between my in-laws and Qiyunzhai. ”

Wu Zixin heard her grandfather talk about her grandfather for the first time, so she suddenly became anxious, rushed to her grandfather's side, and cried: "Why did the second uncle want to join Qiyunzhai as a bandit, didn't this hurt my grandfather and grandmother?" ”

Wu Qinghe shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific grandfather, your second uncle is a cannonball for a living, the year your mother died, he went out to sell artillery, and he didn't return for two years, after returning to the village, he was beaten out by your grandfather not long after entering the door, I went up to persuade you, and after asking, I learned that your second uncle was a bandit, worried about causing trouble, and your grandfather and I have never mentioned this to outsiders for many years - Xiaoyang, so many people came here this time, is something wrong?" ”

"Is the second uncle back? Why did he bring so many people, isn't he afraid that the government will find out and bring trouble to his grandfather? Wu Zixin then asked.

"I'm afraid I've already caused trouble." Although he was worried that the grandfather and grandson were in a hurry, as soon as the team of people under the mountain arrived, they couldn't hide it, so they simply told him in advance, so that they could be mentally prepared. Pi Yang sighed and said: "The leader is the granddaughter of the owner of Qiyun Village, I heard her say that the government has found out the relationship between Grandpa Li and Qiyunzhai, and she is here to pick up Grandpa Li this time." Before I returned, I heard a report from her spies that a group of men and horses were coming to the village at the bottom of the mountain, and there were as many as 500 of them. I guess the whereabouts of this gang of bandits have been revealed, and the group of people and horses under the mountain are afraid that they are officers and soldiers, and they are here to encircle and suppress them. ”

When Wu Qinghe heard that there were 500 officers and soldiers, he stood up and said, "How is this good, how is this good?" Wu Zixin suddenly heard that her worries had become a reality, but she couldn't help crying.
