When Zhu Er came back, his face was extremely bad, and he said, "It's terrible, something happened to the Zhu landlord's house in the town at night, and the county lieutenant and the catcher are now going to Zhu's house." This Zhu landlord is the family who wants to marry the Xia family......"

At midnight this morning, a butcher went to deliver meat to the Zhu family, and found that the door was open, so he pushed it open. After walking in, I felt even more wrong, the courtyard was quiet, and all the doors were open.

He shouted a few times, but when he didn't move, he ran into the front yard and looked inside. It was found that the landlord Zhu was tied to a pillar in the house, his clothes and hair were drenched with water, and a knife was inserted in his chest, and he was already dead.

The butcher was frightened and ran out screaming and shaking his legs.

When the neighbors heard about it, they all ran in and looked all over the yard. Except for the landlord Zhu, who is dead, the master and subordinates of the Zhu family are all asleep, and many secret compartments, cabinets, and boxes are opened, which have been stolen by thieves. To be more precise, it was robbed by bandits.

woke up the Zhu family, it is true that the family's money and valuable jewelry are gone, and there are two people missing, one is a beautiful girl who has been a room for Master Zhu, and the other is a long-term worker who has only been recruited for a long time......

Zhu Er wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "...... They all guessed that the Zhu family had an internal response, and gave the family Menghan medicine at night, and let the thieves in at night. It is also said that these thieves should be bandits on the side of Xiangshan, hiding nearby during the day, and running to grab a bite at night...... The most likely place for them to hide is in the mountains. Big girl, we stayed in the mountains all day before yesterday, but fortunately we didn't run into them. ”

Zhu Er's family said in horror, "Those wicked people, robbing the Zhu family and robbing our family at the same time, how can our family's money be compared with the Zhu landlord's family." He frowned and sighed, "Alas, I pity that beautiful girl, she must have been robbed to be the 'Lady of the Village'." Looking at the appearance of Landlord Zhu and his mother-in-law, they are all black and fat, and the girl will not look good, otherwise she will definitely be robbed. It's better for the girl's house to be ugly, but if she is robbed by bandits, this life will be over......"

She glanced at Xia Li, her own girl was more beautiful, and then thought of the thief who came to her house, so she quickly closed her mouth.

Zhu Er glared at his mother-in-law fiercely, and the couple walked out of the main room.

Xia's face became even worse, and he pulled Xia Li and said, "Lili, you must be obedient, don't go up the mountain again, don't go out alone......"

When she said the last sentence, Xia Li's hands were painful.

Xia Li hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm also afraid, I don't dare to run around anymore." ”

She looked at their Xia Ju, and there were some things that she couldn't say in front of him. Although he was smart, he was still too young to be afraid that he would not mean to say it.

Xia Li pulled Xia Shi into her bedroom and whispered, "Mother, on my way home the day before yesterday, I saw a man with a scar on his face taking people to Shiban Village, and the cloth towel he brought when he rode a horse was the same as the one he wore yesterday...... I suspect that those bandits have a den in Shiban Village, and those people are going to that house one after another to wait for the opportunity to rob. It's unlikely that you'll be in the mountains all the time, it's cold, and it's easy to be spotted......"

She told Xia what she saw the day before yesterday.

Xia knew that Xia Li's eyes could see far away. "What then?" There is a nest in Shiban Village that is always staring at our bandits, and we can't guard against it. ”

Xia Li said, "My mother went to talk to my uncle, and said that I saw a man with a scar on his face outside the village the day before yesterday and went to Shiban Village with a few people with a raw face, maybe the bandits' hiding place is in which family in Shiban Village." Let him quietly remind Zhou Lizheng and let Zhou Lizheng report to the county lieutenant. He only said that he had heard from people passing by, and he must not tell us......"

In fact, when he came into contact with those people that night, there was a bloodstain left by the bandits on the wall, so he took people to find them, and he was sure to find their hiding place. But one is afraid that Dangdang will expose his identity, and the other is afraid that the bandits will retaliate against him, a small common man, and kill people and kill people, so he doesn't dare.

Xia went out and came back more than a quarter of an hour later, his face even more solemn. said, "Your uncle was shocked when he heard the man's appearance. said that the appearance of that person was very similar to a big bandit leader in Huaxiang Mountain, and they all called him Scarface and Big Brother Scar, and he was one of the several bandit leaders who were wanted by the court and Lord Ye, and his portrait was often posted. also said that although Scarface is ugly, it is the most good woman. When they come to our house, they must have an acquaintance telling him that you are handsome......"

Xia Li's heart sank even more. In ancient times, people married early, and at the age of twelve, they were still in the sixth grade of primary school in their previous lives.

She said, "Mother, if those bandits are trying to arrest me, we will live here, no matter how careful we are, we can't prevent it." The only way to get rid of those people is to move and move into the city. ”

Xia thought about it and said, "It's safest to move into the city." The gates would be closed at night, and bandits would not be able to enter. He sighed deeply, and said firmly, "Okay, let's go to the county seat to find a house after the New Year, we still have so much silver in deposit, enough money to buy a yard." ”

Xia Li said, "If you don't have a suitable yard, you can rent one first." If you live well in the county, you will always live there, and if you don't live well, when Scarface is served by Lord Ye, we will move back. ”

She glanced at Dangdang, who was still lying down and sleeping, and a guess suddenly popped up in her mind, Ye Feng spent so much money looking for it, could it be related to the bandits? If it is related, he has infringed on the interests of the court because of his own selfish interests...... Oh, and the sin should be beheaded.

Xia Li was frightened.

Maybe the medicine added hypnotic drugs, and Dangdang fell asleep very deeply. No matter in her past life or this life, as long as she has something, she will rush to the front to protect her, how can she not want to try her best to get it by her side and treat it well.

Since she brought Dangdang home, she has been terrified and uneasy in the depths of her heart. Every time she saw Liu Changzhao and his little servant who were affected by herself, as well as Ye Feng, the owner of the tiger, she blamed herself even more. Her actions are theft, but she is reluctant to let Dangdang leave her. She knew she wasn't doing it right, but she just did it recklessly. She also had a faint worry that she might not be so lucky to keep Dangdang by her side forever......

Seeing the sleeping Dangdang, her heart hurt even more.

Xia Ju knew that something was wrong at home, and it was likely that the bad guy was going to rob his sister, and when he was injured and fell asleep, he sat sadly on a small stool at the door of the hall, and sat on the ground with his legs tight, not daring to make noise. If Xia Shi and Xia Li hid in another room and whispered before, Xia Ju would definitely pretend to be jealous and run over and insert it in the middle. And now he didn't, just like a determined little doorman guarding the door.

Inside, it was very quiet.
