Seeing the cold dagger, Xu Dawa gasped and said in fear.

"Little sister, give them the silver ticket."

He was arrested and locked up for a day and a night, not to mention eating, not even half a saliva of water. Xu Dawa is an ordinary peasant child, where has she experienced this battle, at this time she is hungry, thirsty and afraid, dizzy, and just wants to leave here quickly.

Xu Lan frowned, and vigilantly took out the silver ticket.

The man in the lead snatched it up.

Xu Lan took the opportunity to immediately pull Xu Dawa and ran towards the door.

"One hundred taels, that's right." When the gangster saw the numbers on it, he immediately laughed, "Okay, you all stay." As soon as the words fell, he turned around and threw himself at Xu Lan.

"You liar!" Xu Dawa screamed in fright.

He was extremely scared in his heart, but he still mustered up the courage to protect Xu Lan behind him.

But he had been hungry for so long, his hands and feet were weak, and he was kicked to the ground by the gangster.

"Brother!" Xu Lan was startled, flew up and kicked the gangster's knee hard, "You are not allowed to touch my brother." ”

The man was in pain, and suddenly said angrily: "Okay, if you don't touch your brother, we'll touch you!" Don't worry, before we sell you, our brothers will touch you well! ”

Xu Lan glared angrily and asked loudly, "Who are you!" ”

The gangster saw that her eyes were full of anger, but he didn't see the slightest fear, and suddenly said with a strange feeling: "Oh, you stinky girl is quite bold. If she changes to another little girl in a different village, she must be crying so much that she is weak now, and she kneels on the ground and begs for mercy. ”

As soon as these words fell, the other gangsters suddenly moved in their hearts.

He whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, leave quickly when you get the money, this cheap thing must have found reinforcements, otherwise it would be impossible to be so calm." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

More than a dozen torches suddenly lit up in the dark, like stars in the sky, and they had been lurking nearby, and at this time, from far and near, they surrounded the City God Temple.

The person at the head is none other than Liang Wei.

He was followed by the officials of the city.

"Little slut, you really called someone!" The gangster was furious and kicked Xu Lan.

Xu Lan didn't have time to dodge and fell directly to the ground.

Seeing that the dagger in the gangster's hand was about to stab at Xu Lan's body, Xu Dawa suddenly shouted, pounced, and protected Xu Lan.

"Ahh The dagger slashed his arm, and Xu Dawa screamed.

"Brother, brother!" Xu Lan was so anxious that she cried.

The gangsters immediately rushed out of the gate and ran towards the distant mountains and forests without looking back.

Liang Wei heard Xu Lan's cry, and his whole heart was lifted into the air.

He didn't care about chasing people, and rushed in directly.

"Lan'er, Lan'er, where are you hurt!" He grabbed Xu Lan's arm and checked it up and down.

Xu Lan's eyes were red, and she cried: "It's not me, it's my brother, that bad guy hurt my brother." ”

Liang Wei hurriedly found a torch, Xu Lan tore his clothes into several strips of cloth, first wiped off the blood stains near Xu Dawa's wound, and then wrapped his arm tightly with cloth strips after giving him wound medicine.

"Brother, you saved me." Xu Lan was quite moved in her heart.

When Xu Dawa protected her just now, Xu Lan could feel his whole body trembling. Xu Dawa was very scared, so scared, but despite this, he still chose to protect Xu Lan.

"What are you talking about, you are my sister, of course I want to protect you." Xu Dawa grinned, her expression was less cowardly and more resolute, "Aren't you alone to save me?" ”

Xu Lan looked at Xu Dawa and only felt warm in her heart.

At this moment, Long Xing walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he shook his head and said, "Run, those two are very familiar with the roads around here, and our people have been about to catch up with them several times, but they can always find a way to escape." ”

"Brother Long, thank you." Xu Lan looked at him, "You have been in ambush for a long time." ”

"It should." Long Xing was a little apologetic, "It's our job to arrest the gangsters, and this time we did let them escape, so your family should be careful." ”

It turned out that Xu Lan threw a note towards Liang Wei's house in the morning.

The note briefly recounted what had happened.

Xu Lan can't come forward to report to the official, but Liang Wei can. The two of them were bright and dark, Xu Lan walked around the county town to attract the attention of the gangsters, and Liang Wei immediately entered the city to report to the official.

The county lord sent a group of dragon torturers to lurk near the City God Temple.

They didn't get too close for fear of startling the snakes, and they didn't even find out when the two villains came over.

"They must be people who live nearby." Xu Lan said firmly.

She led everyone around to the back of the City God Temple.

It turned out that a large part of the wall behind the temple had already collapsed, and a half-human-high hole was exposed in the corner. The cave is hidden by the nearby weeds, and behind it is a path that connects to the hill behind the village.

The two must have taken advantage of the night to bring Xu Dawa over from this path.

Long Xing looked around, ready to go back and report it.

He was quite surprised to learn that Xu Lan had been robbed of a hundred taels of silver.

"Miss Xu, I think you still tell you about today's events in the village." "Don't think about it, it must have been done by the people of your village." ”

Xu Lan nodded, took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Long Xing.

"Brother Long, this is the pill I matched, I see that you often have to stay up late, and eating one pill of this pill can make people sober for several hours."

"There is no damage to the body, just make up for the lack of sleep during the day."

Long Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it.

It is common for them to go out by day and night on errands.

It's nothing to stay up all night, the most feared thing is that something happens when you suddenly get sleepy, and if you are facing an outlaw, it will kill you.

Xu Lan sent a few bottles of good ointment to the messenger who came with the dragon punishment as a thank you gift.

When these people saw that Xu Lan was so good at doing things, they thought a little higher of her.

After everyone left, Xu Dawa asked puzzledly.

"Sister, why are you giving them something?" He said, "They didn't catch the villain." ”

Xu Lan said while helping him slowly walk home.

"Brother, they are all sent by the county, maybe there will be trouble for them in our village in the future." She sighed, "I always feel that this day is gradually not peaceful, if we meet bad people in the future, these poor people will come faster after receiving our benefits." ”

Xu Dawa frowned, as if she understood or not, but began to ponder the meaning of her sister's words in her heart.

Liang Wei smiled slightly when he heard this.

Lan Yatou's thoughts are becoming more and more thoughtful.

However, her worries were correct.

Liang Wei knew more news than Xu Lan, and he naturally knew that the situation in the surrounding counties was not very good.

There have also been many more kidnappings and robberies than in previous years.
