Xia Shi was stunned for a while, walked to the hall, and said to Xia Ju, "You take the bear to the east courtyard to find Zhucai to play." ”

Xia Ju shook his head and whispered, "I'm going to guard my sister here." ”

Xia reached out and touched his little tug, and went to the kitchen.

Zhu Er's family had already burned the fire, and they didn't have the heart to cook, so they only made a pot of egg white pimple soup.

The meal was put on the table, and Xia Jucai went to the bedroom to pull Xia Li, and said softly, "Sister, it's time to eat." Don't be too upset, just be a few days, you won't be lame. When I grow up, I will protect my sister and mother, as well as Dangdang and everything, so that you will not be bullied. ”

He was ashamed, feeling that he was a man, but it was useless at the critical moment.

Xia Liqiang smiled, "Okay, my sister is waiting for you to grow up." ”

The family ate quietly and peacefully.

After dinner, Xia Ju did not take a lunch break, and continued to sit at the door as a door god, and Xia was not allowed to leave the door. Xia Li went out to the thatched house, and he followed like a bear and guarded the door of the thatched house.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Xia Li was really heartwarming and sad.

At the end of the day, Zhu Er, who went out to inquire about the news, came back.

He said that the county magistrate had investigated clearly, and the new long-term worker of the Zhu family was a bandit, and he gave the Zhu family Menghan medicine at night. After letting the bandits in, the bandits used water to sober up the landlord Zhu and asked where the money was hidden. Because the landlord Zhu had seen them, he killed him after robbing him......

This incident caused panic in the neighborhood, and everyone closed their doors, and I heard that even the number of military lords guarding and patrolling the county town has increased a lot, and the town and every village have also recruited village soldiers to patrol......

Xia Li snorted secretly, among those township soldiers, one of them is a spy if he can't get it right.

As he was talking, the second tiger came with rhubarb again. Erhu said, "My father said that your belongings were injured, so let Rhubarb stay at your house for the time being." Before going to bed at night, let Uncle Zhu take Rhubarb to inspect the outside of the courtyard and in the bamboo forest. ”

Before the injury is healed, the family really needs a healthy dog. Xia Li smiled, "Okay, go back and thank your grandfather for us." ”

She got up and went out and tied the rope tied to the doorpost, and put the big bowl with the broth bibimbap under the eaves of the east wing, and the rhubarb used to squat and eat.

Xia Ju followed behind her.

Xia Shi complained to Erhudao, "At this time, I dare to come to my house alone, and I am not afraid of being robbed by bandits to go up the mountain to be a little bandit." ”

Erhu said nonchalantly, "The bandits are not stupid, they dare to come to our village at this time." ”

Xia Ju said unhappily, "Don't you know the truth and the truth? ”

After saying that, he pulled his mother and sister into the house.

Erhu also followed, muttering, "You are too careful." ”

Xia Ju said unconvinced, "My sister and mother are so handsome, I naturally have to be careful." "The implication is that your mother and sister are not so handsome, so you don't have to be so careful.

Just now, the county government and some military masters came to Sancao Town and nearby villages to inspect separately, and every household had to look at it, because the matter was too big, the Tongning County Ya and the defenders took joint action to arrest the bandits. Shiban Village and Xiaowa Village should be inspected, and I heard that the county lieutenant personally led the team.

Five people came to Xia Lijia, including three military masters and two government officials. They first inspected each room, and then took two portraits and asked the Xia family if they had seen them.

A government official said that the two people in the painting were the bandit leaders in Huaxiang Mountain, and the other was nicknamed "Scarface", and he was the big boss of the group of bandits. One nicknamed "Big Mole", with a black mole the size of a soybean grain growing under his mouth, was the second leader of the bandits.

Although the portrait was very freehand, Xia Li could also see that the scarred face was the person she saw the day before yesterday, and she had never seen another big mole.

The people in the government are still relatively smart, not only painted the portrait of the scarface, but also painted the portrait of the second master.

Xia Li shook his head and said calmly, "I haven't seen it." ”

Xia was shocked to see that the portrait of Scarface was as terrifying as the person Xia Li described.

The pupils of the catcher who took the portrait shrank, stared at Xia Shi and asked, "Have you seen him?" ”

Xia Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I just see that he looks too scary." ”

The catcher snorted coldly, "At such an age, it's useless, not even as good as your daughter." Then, he glanced at Xia Li meaningfully.

Xia Li's afterglow looked at this catcher, and felt that not only what he said was not good, but also his eyes were terrifying.

A military master next to him said, "I can't blame this sister-in-law." Scarface is so frightening that most of the women and children will be frightened. He pointed at Xia Li and said, "There are really not many such bold little ladies." ”

The catcher quickly asked, "I heard that there were also bandits in the easternmost courtyard of Xiaowa Village, and one of them was shot and wounded by a little lady. It's your home, right? ”

Xia Li nodded.

The catcher took a closer look at Xia Li and said with a smile, "It's a handsome little pepper." ”

Several other people also looked at Xia Li a few times and laughed.

Xia Ju pulled a military master to speak, "Military master, my third uncle is an adjudicate in the army, and he wears clothes as majestic as yours. A few days ago, he also brought his prefects, Lord Toji, and Lord Qianhe, to my house for dinner. ”

The little boss laughed, "It's a clever child." With a wave of his hand, "Let's go, let's go to the next one." ”

After those people left, Xia patted his chest and said, "These people are here to arrest bandits, how do I think they are as terrible as bandits." ”

Xia Li snorted coldly, "Since ancient times, the official and bandit family, who knows if there are any fine works among those people." She thought that the way the catcher looked at her was strange, and she must have bad intentions.

When Dangdang woke up again, a quarter of an hour after Xia Li fed it medicine, he fed it the lotus white ball rice and the taro paste that had been prepared for it. There was originally little taro to eat, and I thought that I would often treat it as a treat during this time, but I only used one, and everyone else was reluctant to eat it.

The bear was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva, and he sensibly didn't ask for it.

When Dangdang snorted twice, Xia Li knew that it was going to pee, so he took it to the backyard vegetable patch and decided. Xia Ju, Erhu and Xiong Xiang followed, and Xiong Xiang also ran over to pee.

After that, several people sat in the house again and thought about their thoughts. Except for Erhu's expression, which was more relaxed, everyone else was extremely serious.

Before dinner, Xia Zhu came to visit.

He said that according to Zhou Lizheng, he has not yet found the place where the bandits are hiding, and no one has seen Scarface, but some people have seen the big mole in a flash, and guess that it should be the bandits...... Zhou Lizheng also asked him who saw Scarface, and he said that he didn't pay attention, it was a passerby......

Xia Zhu dragged away Erhu, who wanted to stay here for dinner, saying that it was too chaotic now and the children were not allowed to run around.
