Li Yongan saw the two young ladies of the Tan family coming to help, and hurriedly walked up and said: "Don't dare to bother the two young ladies with these things, it's not early, I'd better send the two young ladies back to the town!" ”

In fact, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the night, and it was not convenient to walk the mountain road. But Li Yong'an thought that he was a bandit den here, and they were all big men, so it was not convenient to keep the two young ladies overnight, and it would be bad for their reputation if they spread it.

Tan Suyun pondered for a moment and replied: "Over the years, we have gotten along with Mother Liu like a family, and now that she is gone, we should do our best, just stay and hold a funeral for her!" Li Yongan was very grateful when he heard this, and he was very gracious, so he said: "Then thank you two young ladies!" ”

Tan Suyun said: "You don't have to be polite! ”

Tan Suyun called the family's coachman and asked him to rush back overnight, telling his father that the two sisters were going to keep a vigil for Liu's mother on the mountain, telling him not to worry. The coachman took the order and left in a hurry. The two sisters accompanied Li Yongan in front of Liu's mother's body. At eleven or twelve o'clock in the night, Zhang Laosan returned with the coffin, he did things carefully, did not delay time, and hurried back all the way. The two ladies of the Tan family helped sort out Liu's mother's remains, and then gathered them into the coffin.

Early the next morning, all the people in the cottage wore linen and filial piety to bury the old lady.

Li Yongan chose the burial site on the nearby back mountain, where the forest is lush and the surroundings are quiet, which can be regarded as a good resting place. The two sisters, Li Yongan and the Tan family, personally filled in the soil for the new grave and bowed down in front of it.

In the morning of the same day, I had just finished dealing with the old lady's funeral, and before I could rest when I returned to the cottage, the bandits who were guarding in front of the mountain suddenly came in a hurry to report that the cottage was surrounded by a large number of people!

Li Yongan was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Who is it?" Officers and soldiers? ”

The bandit shook his head and said, "No, they don't wear military uniforms, they look like brothers on a nearby hill!" ”

As soon as he said this, Li Yongan understood that it was the bandit bosses who he robbed who united and came to settle accounts with him! He wasn't very afraid in his heart, he would fuck him if he didn't work, and he had made such a plan since he robbed him of the goods of the money **. It's just that it happened to coincide with the death of her mother, during her mourning, she has been wandering outside all these years, and she has not been filial piety by her mother's side, and now she has passed away, she should have kept filial piety for her, and made up for it a little bit, but now I am afraid that this little filial piety will not be exhausted! In addition, the two young ladies of the Tan family are still in the cottage and failed to leave in time, once there is any conflict between the two sides and they are injured by mistake, how can they explain to Old Man Tan and how to explain to their dead mother? Li Yongan felt very annoyed in his heart!

Thinking about it, for the sake of his mother and the two young ladies of the Tan family, he has always been unconvinced, this time he had to bow his head and send someone to pass a word to the big bosses outside, saying that he is willing to return the stolen things to the original owners, and ask them to see that their mother has just been mourned, and they must do their filial piety and guard the mausoleum for the sake of their children.

The messenger passed Li Yongan's words to Liu Jindiao and other bandit leaders. It took a lot of effort for these bandit leaders to gather together, and they rushed to the scene, so naturally they would not just give up so lightly. Liu Jindiao, on behalf of the bandit leaders, replied to the people sent by Li Yuan'an: "Originally, I thought that I was a brother on the same road, since someone in the family has passed away, it is during the funeral, this matter should be delayed, but Li Yongan's kid ignored the rules on the road, and actually crossed the border to rob the things of other mountain brothers, he didn't take us in his eyes first, and don't blame us for not being merciful at this time!" You go and sue your boss, tell him to quickly bow down and arrest him, and after hearing this, he will not be burdened with his brothers to die with him, if he wants to resist, we will level your cottage! ”

The messenger returned to the cottage and relayed Liu Jindiao's words to Li Yongan. Li Yongan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, thinking: "I'm afraid a vicious fight is inevitable!" ”

Li Yongan summoned the brothers in the cottage, told them about the current form, told them that they were outnumbered, and the shape was very unfavorable, let them stay at their own convenience, and those who were willing to follow him would give up their lives to do a big job, and if they were unwilling, they would send silver taels, and they could leave immediately, and those who wanted to go home should go home, and those who wanted to take refuge in other cottages would go to refuge!

Among the bandits, there were really many people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and when they saw that the shape was indeed very bad, they took the silver taels and left, and the team of two or three hundred people dispersed more than half at once, and only about a hundred people remained. Li Yongan didn't blame them, took out the wine and made three bowls of wine with the rest of the people, and said: "From now on, everyone is brothers in life and death, not seeking to live together, but willing to die together!" With that, he threw the bowl in his hand to the ground.

The big guy followed his example, threw the bowl in his hand on the ground, ping-pong, and then shouted: "Don't want to live together, but want to die together!" "It's also a bit of generosity and righteousness, which makes people feel angry and bloody, but in the end, it's just a competition for fame and fortune between bandits, there is nothing to boast about, and no one will praise them when they die! After Li Yongan drank the oath wine with everyone, he came to the two young ladies of the Tan family, sighed, and said: "I, Li Yongan, let the two young ladies get involved in this right and wrong, and they are in danger, I am really ashamed of the spirits of Master Tan and my mother in the sky!" ”

Tan Suyun said: "It's pure accident that we came here, no wonder you!" ”

Tan Suqin asked curiously: "Why do those bandits have trouble with you?" ”

Li Yongan explained to her with some embarrassment: "Last time, I promised the two young ladies not to rob anyone in the town again, but the hundreds of brothers up and down of me will also eat!" In desperation, I had no choice but to go to other people's land to rob things, and break the rules of the way, so that I was angered by the people, and they united against me! ”

Tan Suqin suddenly realized when she heard this, and said: "It turns out that this is the case, and it is not ours to say this, which has caused you such a big trouble!" ”

Li Yongan hurriedly bowed and said, "Second Miss is serious, I caused trouble to the house first, how can I blame the two young ladies?" Even if I take this life, I Li Yongan doesn't care! It's just that the two young ladies are in danger, which makes me deeply uneasy, in case something goes wrong."

Tan Suyun said: "The matter has come to this, you don't have to worry about us, let's quickly think of a way to deal with the current situation!" ”

Li Yongan nodded and said, "Yes!" Rest assured, young ladies, I will keep you safe no matter what! ”
