Zhu Da had a question in his heart, but he didn't speak, but followed silently, which made Xiang Bo look approvingly.

really went to Li Zongqi Li Ji's house, the three of them walked in the village, and there was still no one on the road, but someone also walked out after seeing the three of them through the crack in the door, and the village became a little popular at this time.

The gate of Li's house was closed, and others were still respectful when they came to Li Zongqi's house, but Xiang Yue Xiangbo didn't care at all, and he banged on the door when he went up, and the door rang loudly, causing the dog in the yard to bark loudly.

"I was woken up by a dog barking last night, and I didn't sleep well all night." Zhou Qingyun muttered.

"I can't imagine that the Li family's dog barked first last night." Juda noticed something else.

The strength of the door is getting bigger and bigger, and even the neighbors on the side are looking around, and there is still silence inside, some people wonder if Li Zongqi's family has run away, and some people wonder if something has happened, and before the initiative can go over the wall, I heard someone inside trembling and asked: "Who...... Who is it! ”

"Xiang Yue, the old man is looking for Mr. Li!" There was not a trace of respect in Xiang Yue Xiangbo's tone.

The voice of the answer in the courtyard was a little familiar, but it was too hoarse, and it didn't take long for the dog to stop barking, and the courtyard door was opened, and it was actually the door that Li Zongqi himself came to open, and Li Ji's face was gloomy, and he glanced at it when he went out, and saw that it was all villagers, and he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiang ...... What's the matter with Brother Xiang? Li Ji's mouth startled Zhu Da when he spoke, and it turned out that Li Zongqi's voice was hoarse.

"I tossed so much last night, and I just talked to you about this." Xiang Yue said impatiently.

Li Zongqi Li Ji's reaction was obviously a little slow, he was stunned before he turned sideways, and Xiang Yue led Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun in, the two teenagers came in for the first time, and they looked around curiously, but there were two young men with firewood knives and wooden sticks in the courtyard, these two Zhu Da were somewhat impressed, they were the distant nephews of the Li family, and they had been running over for a few years, saying that they were relatives, but they were actually used as servants for a long time.

The two of them were full of fatigue from having slept all night, and they couldn't open their eyes, but Zhu Da noticed the bangs and mallets on the ground, which should have been struck last night, and they looked curiously, and the two tired Li family members were also puzzled, not knowing what this old man and young man were doing.

After not taking a few steps, Li Zongqi said to a person: "Put away the knife." ”

Everyone looked back and found that there was a Pu knife leaning on the side of the courtyard gate, in Zhu Da's memory, Li Zongqi, as a military attaché, had never seen him take any weapons, but he didn't expect that there was still this Pu knife at home, which looked quite new.

When he was about to walk to the hall, Li Zongqi yawned, this yawn seemed to wake him up something, so that Li Zongqi Li Ji stopped, slapped his hand on his forehead, turned his head and shouted: "Ergou, go and release your aunts and them." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they saw the appearance of the person who was called to suddenly realize, and ran quickly to the firewood room, Li Zongqi turned around and smiled awkwardly, and followed, and then everyone heard the sound of lifting the lid in the firewood room, there were girls crying there, and women scolding.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other, and they both saw the contemptuous expressions on each other's faces, this Li Zongqi's family is all ready, and the young and strong family is the most in the village, but they are so timid that they are all dizzy, and their wives and children actually forgot to release them in the cellar, are they stupid?

"He's good, he knows that if he rings the bang, the whole family may hide in the cellar if someone else else!" Xiang Yue Xiangbo didn't know if he heard the voices of the teenagers, or if he felt the need to say it.

The poor people in the village don't pay so much attention to etiquette, and the women also have to work in the fields, and they don't avoid outsiders very much, Li Zongqi's family has rules, Li Ji's wife came out and hurriedly entered the inner room, but Li Chunhua was young and didn't shy away, and she was surprised to see Zhu Da in the yard, but her face was full of fear and exhaustion, and she didn't care about losing her temper, so she hurriedly followed.

Zhu Da didn't pay attention to the female dependents, Li Zongqi's two sons came with him, Li He's arms were still hanging, and after being beaten on the shoulder by the collector from above, although he found the elder, he had to take a while to raise his bones.

The two sides entered the hall, and naturally no one would pour tea and water as Xiang Yue, and the reason why Li Zongqi and Li Ji invited people in was just because they were afraid of giving face.

"Mr. Li, nine times out of ten last night, the thieves came, if it weren't for the dog barking and bangzi, the thieves would have rushed in." Xiang Bo said straight to the point.

After sitting down, Li Zongqi yawned there, his face was very impatient, and after hearing this, the whole person froze, and then stood up in a panic, stared at Xiang Bo and said, "What do you say, thief?" What thieves? ”

Not only did his face change greatly, but his two sons also had earthy faces, shook his head and replied: "There are more than ten or twenty thieves who have entered the mountain, and they may have washed some kind of stockade and entrenched in it, maybe they came down the mountain last night, and it is estimated that the news will come to you in a few days." ”

"Thief soldiers, thief soldiers, how can thieves target our hundred households." Li Zongqi muttered blankly, he used to call it "Baihu" in his mouth, and everyone else already called himself a village.

After a few words, Li Zongqi suddenly came to his senses, stared at Xiang Bo and said: "Brother Xiang, you are an old hunter, will it be a wolf or a leopard who came last night!" ”

"The dog barked so fiercely, the wolf and the leopard had already been scared away, it could only be a human!" Xiang Bo said categorically, and Li Zongqi sat down on the chair when he said this.

Zhu Da watched from the sidelines, he was not very interested in the conversation, but he was curious about one thing, how the news of this smuggler was better than the general flag of the guard.

"I want to report it as soon as possible, tell Zhao Qianhu, tell Master Luo, and let them send troops to clear out, there are only a dozen thieves, and the army will ...... as soon as it comes" Li Zongqi seemed to be cheering himself up and said loudly.

Xiang Bo's face showed disdain and anxiety, shook his head and said: "The affairs of the official face are troublesome, not to mention the need to mobilize troops, report layer by layer, when can you send people down, the thieves will not wait for you, besides, if you really want to send someone to clean up, can our village stand it?" I'm afraid it's more troublesome than being a thief! ”

These words poured a basin of cold water on his head, and Li Zongqi over there was stunned, immediately hung his head, and then asked anxiously: "Then what should I do!" ”

Zhou Qingyun pursed his lips and glanced at Zhu Da, his face was full of disdain, this expression fell in the eyes of the two sons of the Li family, Li Ying and Li He both glared angrily, but Zhu Da did not respond to Zhou Qingyun, by this time, he had a good impression of this Li Zongqi.

Cowardice is cowardly, incompetent is incompetent, but this Li Zongqi was not so frightened that he hid in the cellar last night, and he also knew that he was ringing the bangzi, you must know that his home is on the edge of the village, and he usually looks at the place openly, but it is the outermost outer, and the thieves are the first to attack his house, and just now he heard that the army was harmful, and he immediately asked other ways.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, this Li Zongqi Li Ji still has Baibao Village in his heart, and he still cares about the safety of everyone, and there is still a public heart, no matter what, this thought and actual deeds have nothing to look down on.

"Let's build an earthen fence outside the village, and there are people on duty at night, and every household must send young and strong men to patrol." Xiang Bo simply gave the answer.

Li Zongqi's mood has calmed down a lot, he sat on the chair and pondered, but a wry smile appeared on his face, and said in an astringent voice: "Brother Xiang, our soldiers of hundreds of households have been holding hoes for several lifetimes, what can they do, if the thieves really want to do it, the village will be washed directly, how can they stop it!" ”

"You have to fight, the thieves are coming, and the man has to block it, otherwise the wife and children won't even have a chance to go into the cellar and hide, so just wash their necks and wait for death?" Xiang Bo's eyes widened, but he was a little angry.

Speaking of this, Li Ying, the son of the Li family, interjected and said: "When a man dies, what's the use of a woman and a child, our village, no, our hundred households will definitely be taken up by others!" ”

From the moment the three of the Xiang family entered the door, the Li family has been pressed and disciplined, not to mention the contempt shown by Zhou Qingyun, the young man couldn't hold his breath, so he naturally had to say two sentences, Li Ying was actually right, orphans and widows couldn't keep the property at all, they were either forcibly seized by their husbands, or they were taken back by the guards, Baibao Village is all poor military households, so what is the possibility of arguing, I am afraid that life is better than death at that time.

Xiang Yue was directly angry when he heard this, slapped the table with his hand, and said in a rough voice: "Bad seed, I don't dare to fight, do you want to take your family to die together!" ”

It is different that he has killed people in battle, this time he attacked, Li Ying was so frightened that he took a step back, and he didn't dare to argue, but his face was full of unconvinced, Li Zongqi was worried there, and he couldn't care about this side at all.

Zhu Da couldn't help but smile bitterly, he thought that Xiang Bo had figured it out, but he didn't expect that Xiang Bo was just a fierce character, he didn't think about this matter clearly, Zhu Da's smile was seen by Li He, the second son of Li Zongqi, and immediately thought that he had caught the handle, raised the arm that was not injured and pointed it and said: "What are you laughing at, is it wrong that my brother is wrong, you can laugh there if you know anything!" ”

When he had this attack, the eyes of several people in the room were focused on Zhu Da's side, but Zhou Qingyun was about to have a seizure as soon as his eyebrows were raised, and Li He's brother Li Ying over there also wanted to sneer a few words, and Xiang Bo and Li Zongqi's eyes were a little impatient, and their faces were full of expressions of "what is the child messing with".

"Uncle Xiang, the thief soldiers should be as powerful as you say, even if they build the earthen wall, they will be overturned, even if the men are all trained, they are not the opponents of the thieves."

The thieves are like wolves, the people are like sheep, even if there are more than a dozen against more than 100, the thieves will win, everyone understands this truth.

It's just that as soon as Zhu Da said it, Xiang Yue Xiangbo was furious, Zhou Qingyun also glared at him, and the three fathers and sons of the Li family also looked strange, although the meaning in these words was echoing them, but it was uncomfortable to hear.

Xiang Yue and Zhou Qingyun's anger can be imagined, Zhu Da's words have no disciple's duty, he bent down when he saw a general flag, he was really ridiculous bastard.

"We are people, thieves are also people, everyone is afraid of injury and death, let's build earthen walls, gather people to practice, do more guards, thieves have scruples, although they are not afraid of us, but they also know that fighting with us will kill people and get injured, naturally unwilling to risk finding this trouble, naturally will avoid, so that we can protect all households."

The room fell silent, and anger and eccentricity turned to consternation, then to thoughtfulness.

"Last night, the thieves didn't move and finally left, isn't it because after the dog barked, they felt that the villagers were alarmed, and there would be trouble in doing anything?" Judah added.

Xiang Yue Xiangbo's face was full of smiles and nodded again and again, Zhou Qingyun's face was an expression of "I don't understand, but it's definitely right", and the three of the Li family's father and son looked at Zhu Da with a surprised expression.

These words are not something that a twelve-year-old boy from a poor military family can come up with and say, who taught him?
