"You... If you are injured and killed by that thief, how can you let me explain to your father and mother! ”

In the face of reprimand, Lin Huai'an and these people were silent and buried themselves in punishment, and the Zhang family and other clansmen also kept silent, so as not to summon Lin Mao's anger.

But anger is anger, after Lin Mao vented, he could only give up, after Lin Huaian and the others went out, Lin Mao felt that something was not right, so he asked people to invite Chengyu.

"In the past, thieves were predators, but from Huai'an and others, those thieves seem to be doing righteous deeds, which is not a good sign!"

Chen Yu was worried, and Lin Mao said, "Who said it wasn't? If the thieves have become good people, then how can there be such a thing as a thief? County order, you have to be careful about this matter, then the river channel bay is within the boundary of Linshui County, if the thief has any big moves, we are afraid that we will not be able to avoid it! ”

At the head of the south village of Linshui Village, Hong Chengding looked like a farmer, he came to the entrance of the village with a cloth bag, at this time it was the season of chaos, whenever outsiders appeared, the village guards would go up to interrogate.

"Where did it come from? What to do? ”

Lin Luo, the member of the Lin clan who led the team on duty, asked in a loud voice, and Hong Chengding smiled, revealing a tired face: "Master, I came from the southern slope, the thieves over there are serious, and the people in the village have either entered the thief road or fled, I heard before that Linshui Village accepts any refugees as tenants, so let's come and see if I can find something to eat!" ”

"South Slope? Where is that? I've never heard of it! ”

Lin Luo frowned, looked back at the villagers behind him, and no one knew about this place, and then Lin Luo became vigilant, he coughed, and the two village men immediately stepped forward, one left and one right set up Hong Chengding, and searched him, Hong Chengding did not dodge, and said with chapped lips: "Gentlemen, is there water, I have walked a hundred and ten miles, and I have been hungry and thirsty for several days!" ”

Saying that, Hong Chengding sat down slowly, looking at his appearance, although Lin Luo was vigilant, he couldn't connect this person with the thief, and after the two village men searched their bodies, they shook their heads at Lin Luo to signal that nothing was wrong, Lin Luo took out the kettle and handed it to Hong Chengding, and brought a piece of dry cake by the way.

"Let's eat!"

"Thank you, gentlemen!"

Hong Chengding was overjoyed and raised his hand to take it, but he was too anxious, he didn't come up in one breath, and almost choked to death, only seeing a few people in Lin Luo and shaking their heads.

"Brother, slow down, no one will rob you!"

Hong Chengding's blushing face took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he smiled and said: "We have suffered a disaster since the beginning of the year, and the grain in the field has not been harvested in the spring, let alone the autumn planting, three months ago, a group of thieves robbed all the villages in the radius of our side, I escaped from the chaos, otherwise I would have become a dead corpse in the wasteland now!" ”

"Oops... So miserable! ”

"I've heard a little about this, those thieves are so hungry that they really eat people!"

"It's better for us to be here, the thieves don't dare to come!"

Seeing the villagers talking nonsense, Lin Luo glared at them: "Okay, what should you do, why do you go!" As for you..."

Lin Luo stared at Hong Chengding, and he said: "Brother, don't blame the gentlemen for being ruthless, a few years ago, General Lin implemented the military cantonment order, and he did accept foreign refugees as tenants, but now there are thieves everywhere, and the ghost knows what those scattered refugees do, so... You can follow me to the village food shed to get some dry food, and let me go elsewhere later!" ”

"Huh? Don't, man..."

Hong Chengding was stunned when he heard this, but what Lin Luo did was right after all, since the thieves attacked the tenant village in Donggangpo, Lin Mao discussed with Chen Yu to strictly guard against outsiders, like Hong Chengding, these fleeing refugees, it seems that the households are good, but the ghost knows if they have entered the thief road, whether they were ordered by the thief to explore the wind, not okay, if it is a bad dish, if these eyes probe the situation of Linshui Village, and pick the right time to make a surprise attack, it will be a disaster. At that time, Lin Xiu worked hard to bring back the refugees from the boundary of Heye City, and they also had to run.

"Gentlemen... Don't... You said that these four wild villages and counties, how can there be anything more stable than the water, I just ask for a living, I have the strength... Believe it or not! ”

Hong Chengding said, rolled up his sleeves and went to move the stone stacks and plates on the side of the road, but he didn't know that this appearance made Lin Luo's vigilance just sent down rise again. And Hong Chengding also realized the omission, so the moment he bowed down, he pretended to be tired and weak, and fell to the side, and several village men hurriedly went to help him, but Lin Luo had already seen the rough arms, and the cocoons in the palms were thick, especially in the place of the tiger's mouth, the folds were very obvious, which was obviously not owned by the farmers.

After thinking about it, Lin Luo spoke: "This brother really has a lot of strength, so if this is the case, you will come with me, it just so happens that a plow man will go to my family's field, take care of three meals and accommodation!" At the end of the year, there is still a benefit! ”

Hearing this, several village men praised Hong Chengding's good luck, but Hong Chengding was uneasy, he shook his body and looked at Lin Luo, and found that Lin Luo's eyes were not quite right when he looked at him.

In doubt, Lin Luo beckoned Hong Chengding to go with him, Hong Chengding smiled, carrying his rag bag to follow, but did not take a few steps, Hong Chengding found that something was wrong, this Lin Luo led him to the village, and more than a dozen men with wooden sticks could be seen resting in the distance.

"Fifth Brother Lin, why are you back?"

The men of the village team saw Lin Luo coming from afar, and greeted him first, Hong Chengding heard it and stopped, and Lin Luo responded to the brothers, found that there was no movement behind him, turned around and said, "Brother, why don't you leave?" ”

"Gentlemen, I'm... My stomach is a little grunting, it can't be that I choked on those two mouthfuls of cold water rough cakes just now... So, I'll go to a thatched house! ”

"Thatched house, there is one in front, let's go!"

Lin Luo said with a smile, but Hong Chengding had already guessed Lin Luo's thoughts, this guy was still doubting himself, taking advantage of Lin Luo's inattention, Hong Chengding turned around and ran, and Lin Luo's face suddenly changed.

"Mother's thief, dare to come to Linshui Village to explore the camp, and seek death!"

In the angry scolding, Lin Luo rushed forward, but Hong Chengding actually pulled out a dagger from the burden and stabbed it reflexively, its speed was so fast, Lin Luo was careless, and he was stabbed in the right chest.

"Thieves... Thieves..."

Lin Luo fell to the ground on his back, spurting blood and roaring, and the village man who was resting not far away was stunned when he saw this, and then more than ten men rushed over: "Fifth Brother Lin... Fifth brother... Mothern thief, quick, grab that grandson and kill him! ”

It's just that Hong Chengding is quick and quick to react, these village men have brute strength, but in terms of martial arts, it really doesn't work, more than a dozen people caught up, but Hong Chengding knocked down a few, and the rest were also injured, and at this time the village police called chaotic, and some of the remaining yacha ran on horseback, but Hong Chengding saw the opportunity, cut off a messenger, let Hou take his horse, and ran to the outer village.
