I set up a stove in the yard and turned out all the kitchen utensils I used on weekdays before cooking food.

Xiling Lan sat on the stone bench, and Jiashan also sat unceremoniously on the side, looking at the dilapidated courtyard, and kept chanting the Buddha's name in his mouth.

Xiling Lan took a sip of tea and motioned for Zi Eleven to bring the old man up, wanting to ask about the situation.

The old man stepped forward tremblingly, not daring to come out of the atmosphere, nor daring to raise his head, knowing that the woman sitting on the stone bench was probably the nobleman among this group of nobles.

Xiling Lan asked Zi Eleven to bring the old man a lame stool, which was the only furniture in the house, and the old man carefully sat down next to the stool.

Just Wen Yan soothed the old man a few words, and was about to get into the main topic, Xiling Lan frowned and looked at Zi Shiyi: "Someone is here." ”

Zi Eleven's martial arts skills were not as good as Xiling Lan, and he couldn't hear her as far, but he immediately went to the top of the elm tree and looked at it before turning over and getting off the tree: "In the northwest, there are ten horsemen and horses coming this way, master?" ”

The inquiring looked at the Xiling blue.

Before Xiling Lan could react, he saw that the old man trembled, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground: "The robber of the heavenly death is here again!" ”

Bandit? Xiling Lan and Zi Eleven exchanged glances.

Zi 11 stepped forward to help the old man: "Uncle, what robber?" ”

The old man's face showed a frightened look, looked around the courtyard, and stomped his feet: "A few nobles, this is not the time to speak, you should hide quickly, or you will flee back to Maojun on horseback, it will be too late, and those robbers will come." ”

Zi Shiyi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my brother, we brothers have nothing else, just a lot of strength, a little kung fu, not afraid of strong people." It's just that what's going on with these robbers? ”

The old man saw that although Zi Shiyi and the others looked like Sven, they were equipped with swords on their waists, especially a few men, who were strong and strong, and seemed to have a bit of combat power, so they reluctantly settled down: "Don't hide it from a few nobles, our Shijiaping is located in a remote area, surrounded by several heart slopes, and it can't produce much food, so it's already difficult to live." In this area, there is a gang of robbers, who have to go down the mountain every other month to plunder, and they really rob everything they see, whether it is food or clothing, as long as they look good, they all rob it.

Although Xiao Lao'er is the head of a village, he also has some savings, and our Shijiaping is close to Mao County, so we can barely survive by selling some of our local products to Mao County. But because of this nest of robbers, they went down the mountain to plunder, and now, only this cumbersome stone table and two earthen kangs were left in this house. Now, it's about to be the autumn harvest season, so they have come down the mountain again, and our Shijiaping is going to suffer again. Speaking of sadness, the old man's eyes were red, revealing a mixture of despair and numbness.

Before Xiling Lan could say anything, Jia Shan beside him couldn't help but announce another Buddha horn, and was about to say something, but he was nailed there by Xiling Lan's sharp eyes, and all the words in his mouth were swallowed.

Xiling Lan retracted her gaze with satisfaction, looked at the old man again, and her eyes were gentle: "Old man sit down first, let's go and have a look." So saying, he got up and walked out.

The old man stopped in horror: "This nobleman, don't go out, those beasts are ruthless, they like to rob women the most, our eldest daughters and little daughters-in-law in Shijiaping have almost been robbed to the mountains, if they see you, I'm afraid-" The rest of the words, everyone understands.

Xiling Lan sneered, didn't say much, and took the lead out of the courtyard gate, Zi Shiyi and Tang Yuan and other guards left two to watch the stove, and the rest followed.
