Xu Lan's words made Zhang and Xu Dahai panic.

Although Xu Lan's tone was a little understated, the two of them had seen the Great Hunger

The absurd, knowing that people are extremely hungry, can do anything.

Since he became a horse thief, it is a capital crime to be caught by the people of the government.

So the horse thieves became more vicious.

As soon as they rushed into a village, they burned and looted, not only to steal the money, but also to avoid being recognized, and sometimes to slaughter the entire village.

"Lotus Village is really lucky." Xu Dahai couldn't help but say, "If it's our village, I'm afraid it's ......."

He didn't finish the rest of the words, and just thinking about the scene made him tremble a little.

Not only are there not as many people in Lotus Village as there are in Lotus Village, there are many people who have just eaten a full meal, and they are worried about earning the next meal every day, so how would they think that Lotus Village would have extra money to prepare armor and other things.

What's more, the distance between Lianzi Village and the county seat is much farther than that of Lotus Village.

There were no horses in the village.

Even if you go to deliver a letter, it will take more time.

The more he thought about it, the more scared Xu Dahai felt.

"Maybe it won't come." Zhang was also very panicked in his heart, "Our village is poor, everyone knows this." Those horse thieves robbed our village, what can they rob? Bacon and grain, people don't look down on it at all. ”

Xu Dahai nodded and hurriedly said: "This is also, even if it is Lizheng's family, it is not very rich." ”

The two comforted each other, and then calmed down a little.

"Sister, you have to hurry up and talk to Li Zheng about this." Xu Dawa's expression was also very serious.

Since he experienced being kidnapped, he seems to have matured a lot.

It's also a lot more meticulous.

"Brother Liang will go and tell Lizheng." Xu Lan said.

She snorted, and her eyelids grew more and more clendid.

Seeing this, Zhang hurriedly brought some hot water for Xu Lan to wipe.

Xu Lan's little face hadn't been wiped yet, but she fell asleep directly on the bed with a towel in her hand.

"This baby has gone out to endure hardships." Xu Dahai easily carried Xu Lan back to her own room.

Zhang helped Xu Lan take off her shoes and socks, except for the cotton jacket outside, and covered her with a quilt before leaving.

Just as Xu Lan said, as soon as Liang Wei came back, he went to find Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was also very surprised to hear that Lotus Village was almost killed by a horse thief.

The two discussed it carefully and made a plan on how to prevent it.

The next day, the villagers in the village also learned about it one after another.

For a while, everyone was a little scared.

Some people in the village who had relatives in the city immediately packed up some soft and left overnight.

The rest of the villagers hid their food and money.

Li Zheng came forward to gather everyone.

"Don't panic, our village has never been rich, and those horse thieves won't bother to rob us." Li Zheng advised, "From now on, if you go out, you will only cry about being poor, saying that the village will not be able to eat." ”

"Even if anyone has surplus food, don't tell it."

Everyone nodded their heads one after another.

This made the villagers feel a little safer.

Crying poor, who wouldn't.

Besides, they're not really rich.

Xu Lan rested at home for a few days, but she was not idle, helping with housework every day and picking up firewood to dry.

Occasionally, I will sneak some fresh dishes out of the space to improve the food for my family.

On this day, Chen suddenly came to the door.

As soon as she entered, she sighed.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Dahai hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the meal in the morning is not delicious?" ”

Xu Lan secretly rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this.

In the morning, she used some pork and Chinese cabbage to chop and stir together, and made a basket of fragrant meat buns with white flour. There were only twenty buns, but ten were taken away by Chen.

Looking closely now, the lard that still remains at the corner of Chen's mouth has not been wiped clean.

"I heard that the next village was hit by horse thieves, that miserable, the whole village died." Chen said, "Everything was robbed, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law were also ruined, and finally they were set on fire, and they were all burned to death." ”

"What!" Xu Lan was taken aback.

When did this happen?

She didn't hear the wind at all.

"Which village is next door?" She asked hurriedly.

"Lotus Village." Chen said, "If you want me to say that they also deserve it, isn't it just that the village has some money?" On weekdays, he puts on a high-minded appearance, who do you look down on! Now he has suffered a disaster, and he deserves it. ”

Lotus Village!

Xu Lan's mind flashed the faces of the Tie Village Chief's family, as well as the enthusiastic villagers who came to her for medical treatment.

Now, all these people are gone?

She only felt a dull feeling in her heart, her eyes were dark, and she almost fainted to the ground.

"Lan'er!" Zhang was startled and immediately supported her, "Lan'er, don't scare me." ”

"Mother, woo woo...... Xu Lan cried out all of a sudden, "Iron Village Chief, they are all good people, why, those horse thieves will find them......"

Xu Dawa felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Grandma, where did you hear about it?" ”

With such big news, the whole village must have been a sensation.

How could Chen be the first to know.

"I'm listening to other people." Chen didn't even look at Xu Lan, he only cared about himself, "Just a few days ago, after the Lotus Village was destroyed, isn't there a meeting in our village so that everyone should not leak money?" ”

Xu Lan was suddenly stunned.

That's not right.

After she returned from Lotus Village, Li Zheng gathered everyone.

At that time, Lotus Village was obviously fine.

She wiped her tears and hurriedly asked, "Who are you listening to?" ”

"It's just someone else, what do you care about so much?"

"Someone else?" Xu Lan suddenly understood, eighty percent of this matter was made up by the Chen family himself, "You said that Li Zheng held a meeting after the Lotus Village was destroyed, but at that time, the Lotus Village was obviously fine, and they discovered the horse thief in advance and avoided the disaster." ”

"I just came back from Lotus Village a few days ago."

"I'm afraid you heard about the horse thief, so you deliberately made it up yourself."

"Grandma, did the Lotus Village recruit you and provoke you? They don't have anything to do at all, but you have a mouth, but you curse the whole village to die! You are so old, don't be afraid that God has eyes, take a good count of the rumors you have created with this mouth! ”

Xu Lan was so angry.

She thought that the Lotus Village had really suffered a disaster.

I didn't expect it to be Chen's nonsense, and Chen's is also extremely hateful, everything that destroys the village is dead, and everything is ruined, they all come with their mouths open.

If Xu Lan hadn't listened carefully to the flaws in her words, I'm afraid she would have really taken it seriously.

"What did you say, you damn girl?" Chen said angrily, "I also heard people say this, and I kindly came to tell you that you dare to contradict me for outsiders." ”
