Chapter 80: Bandits

Seeing that Li Si was so confident, everyone nodded, and their hearts were a lot more stable.

"How are you doing? Can it hold on? At this time, Li Si looked at the family of three and asked with some concern.

He was still a little worried about the health of this family of three, and the family had begun to cough up blood before. If the family can't hold on to it, then they can only bite the bullet tonight.

Seeing Li Si ask this, Shu Rong smiled and said to Li Si: "Benefactor, don't worry. We're fine, it's no problem to hold on for a few days. ”

Hearing Shu Rong say this, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, he also remembered that when this family of three was parasitized by peach seeds, there were still five days, so there was no reason why the peach seeds were wiped out, and they couldn't last one night.

"Then you tie these thatches into small bundles like this, and we will be useful for breaking through tomorrow." As he spoke, Li Si took out some thatch from the ruins, then folded and bundled it into a solid straw bale, and then showed it to everyone.

"Okay, Lee Sang-ko." When several people saw the palm-sized bale in Li Si's hand, they nodded, and immediately looked for thatch nearby.

Fortunately, Chen Zhongyang's house itself is made of wood and thatch, so there is a lot of thatch, so it is not difficult to search.

And when they were looking for thatch, Li Si gave Xiao Duan an order to protect the safety of these people, and cut off any tree roots if they came out.

After giving the order, he searched through the ruins to see if there was anything to use here.

After searching for a while, he found a few white radish, a few pumpkins, four bamboo baskets, and some miscellaneous items in the ruins.

Li Si immediately asked Xiao Duan to come over and clean up these sundries, vegetables and those bamboo baskets.

There are four bamboo baskets, two of which are relatively large, about half a meter high and about half a meter in diameter. This kind of rice is generally carried for farmers, and Li Si has seen people use this to pick up goods in Fengmen County before.

The other two are about the same size as his bookcase, which can hold a small number of things, and they are two back baskets, and I don't know what they are used for, maybe they were used to hold herbs and the like before.

Fortunately, these things are made of bamboo, which has a certain toughness, and the house itself is made of planks and thatch, and the weight is not very large, so after the collapse of the house, these bamboo baskets are still quite complete.

Then Li Si put the vegetables and sundries in the bamboo baskets, and then he and Xiao Duan brought the bamboo baskets to the bonfire.

Several people looked at the bamboo basket dangling in the air next to Li Si, and they all swallowed their saliva, with a look of fear in their eyes, although they had seen Li Si's miracle before, but they were still a little frightened when they saw this scene.

Li Si didn't explain to them, so Xiao Duan put down these bamboo baskets and said, "Tomorrow we will use these bamboo baskets to hold this thatch." ”

After saying that, he took out a few pumpkins from the bamboo basket and stuffed them into the campfire with a wooden top.

In fact, Li Si didn't know what the taste of the pumpkin simmered like this was, but it should be edible when it was cooked.

I don't have time to cook a good meal right now, so I can only make something to eat in this simple way, recover my strength quickly, tie the thatch into bundles, and prepare for tomorrow.

When the other four saw this, they didn't say much, and continued to bow their heads and tie up the bales.

Even the little girl named Shu Min gritted her teeth and tied the bales.

After Li Si stuffed the vegetables into the campfire, he also sat down and started working with a few people.

"Engong, are you going to Zetianfu to catch the exam this time?" When Li Si sat down to do something, Shu Rong asked Li Si.

Li Si nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I'm going to Zetianfu for the exam." ”

Seeing Li Si say this, Shu Rong frowned, with a puzzled look on his face, and said strangely: "Why did Engong appear here, you must know that this place is not on the official road." ”

When He Zhong on the side saw Shu Rong asking this, his face suddenly showed an embarrassed look, his old face was a little red, he lowered his head and tied up the straw bale seriously, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Now He Zhong almost wanted to find a gap to get into, but he couldn't explain, did he want to tell them now that he and Li Xianggong were led by ghosts to the wrong way, and then came here?

This will only make everyone more nervous, as an old Jianghu, he knows that this matter must not be told to everyone now.

Li Si groaned, glanced at He Zhong, and said with a smile: "We got lost on the road, and we arrived here." ”

Seeing Li Si say this, Shu Rong suddenly understood, sighed, and said, "I thought Engong knew that there was a gang of robbers near Shiniu Mountain, so he took a detour." You know, the reason why we took a detour before was to know that there was a gang of robbers there. ”

"I just didn't expect that this robber didn't encounter it, but he encountered this demonic thing, and almost lost his life, if you hadn't come to the rescue, my family of three would have lost their lives."

When Shu Rong said this, his face showed a look of shock and fear

Hearing Shu Rong's words, Li Si also showed a look of clarity on his face, he was still strange before, since this family of three came from Jingning County, it should be the same route as himself, how could he come to this peach orchard.

Now it seems that they were originally there to hide from the bandits.

"This robber is infested, doesn't the government care?" Li Si was suddenly a little puzzled, since there are bandits on the pipeline, then there will definitely be the government to take care of it.

Hearing Li Si say this, Shu Rong showed a sad look and sighed: "There is no way to manage it, Jingning County has been overwhelmed by the drought, and it is difficult to divide people to take care of it." ”

"In addition, the bandit is difficult to find him, and he is very familiar with the surrounding environment, and often comes and goes without a trace. It will be even more difficult for the government to exterminate this gang of bandits. ”

Li Si heard Shu Rong say this, his heart was a little blocked, and he didn't feel very comfortable.

He is not a fool, even if the bandits were forced by this era, then they are not heroes, but a group of evil ghosts who lie on the common people and suck blood. He didn't think of these bandits as some kind of robber to help the poor.

"Hey...... My poor brother was killed by the bandits, and even his wife and daughter did not escape, and they were also arrested on Shiniu Mountain. ”

And Shu Rong's words also confirmed Li Si's conjecture, this gang of bandits is really not a hero, but a group of real outlaws, this is also very realistic, if you don't guess wrong, this Shu Rong's younger brother's wife and daughter may have suffered an accident.

"Condolences." Li Si didn't know what to say at this time, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only let them mourn.

Then everyone fell into silence, the family of three obviously thought of the death of their relatives and fell into grief, and Li Si didn't want to talk about these things now.

He still has a clear priority, and the most important thing now is not the bandits, but the peach grove that surrounds them now.
