Chapter Seventy-Two: A Wave of Robbers
Lu Yu wanted to take Yan Xi'an and his brothers back to their home in Jinhua City to get winter clothes.
The next day, Yan Xi'an's sister and brother pulled Lu Yu left and right, and went to Jinhua City together. The three of them didn't have to rush back today, so Lu Yu didn't take the sister and brother to rush away.
Because it had just rained not long ago, when Yangshan Village went to Jinhua City, there was no devastation and dilapidation. At this time, it was not long in autumn, and the grass and trees were green all the way, only slightly bleak.
But when I arrived in Jinhua City, it was a different scene. A huge Jinhua city, the streets are empty, and the shops along the street are closed nine times out of ten.
When the three of them entered the city, it was already past noon, and there was no food to buy in the city, Yan Xi'an said that he still had some rice at home, and he could go back to cook and eat.
There weren't many people in the city, and most of the neighbors around Yan's house were empty, and this area was quiet.
Yan Xi'an's sister and brother had mixed feelings when they got home, packed up their things, ate a few bowls of noodles under Lu Yu, and then went back to the bedroom, saying that they wanted to rest for a while. The two of them walked all morning, and they were very tired.
Lu Yu sat in the living room for a while, feeling a little idle, and walked out of the house again. Although Jinhua City is empty and deserted now, it is a county seat after all, and it is still much more lively than Yangshan Village.
Walking around the street, Lu Yu saw that some shops had not yet closed, but they were selling some inconsequential gadgets, such as some jewelry for girls and toys for children, which could still be bought.
Lu Yu picked a small silver hairpin, which was to be given to Yan Xi'an. After thinking about it, he chose a small dagger that was more than two inches long, which was prepared for Yan Xiding.
After buying things, Lu Yu walked around the city for a while, and before he knew it, he turned to the gate of the county office.
The only official yamen that Lu Yu has been to is the town guard yamen in Dunlin Town, which is just a small courtyard and a few tiled houses, and it is not magnificent. The county government is much more magnificent, even if the two vermilion gates are more than a zhang high, the vermilion wall and red door, and the high plaque, which Lu Yu has never seen.
It's just that now the gate of the county government is also tightly closed, and it seems that the officials here have already left their posts and are not working.
Lu Yu thought to himself: "Even the people from the Yamen are not here, so it's strange that there is no chaos in the city." ”
Back at Yan's house, the sister and brother had already woken up, and they were sitting in the living room in a daze.
Seeing Lu Yu go back, Yan Xi didn't raise his head and asked, "Uncle Da Yu, where did you slip away alone?" ”
"Wandered outside." Lu Yu took out the silver hairpin dagger and handed it to the sister and brother.
Taking the silver hairpin, Yan Xi'an was slightly stunned at first, then looked happy again, smiled, but said, "Uncle, what are you buying this for?" ”
Lu Yu scratched his head: "I just saw that this thing was beautiful and not expensive, so I bought it." ”
Yan Xiding also liked the little dagger given by Lu Yu, danced with it in his hand, and said: "This knife is so good, but we can't let my father know, otherwise he will definitely force me to take it out, and then he won't return it to me." ”
Yan Xi'an likes the silver hairpin very much, she played with it in her hand for a while, and suddenly asked Lu Yu: "Uncle, will this hairpin look good if I wear it?" ”
In fact, the hairpin looks very ordinary, the whole body is silvery, and the hairpin head is carved with a flower, which seems to be a snow lotus. As for the hairpin, there is no pattern, and the pendant is not. Lu Yu felt that compared with Yan Xi'an, this hairpin was far behind.
Lu Yu smiled: "It must be good-looking." ”
Holding the hairpin, Yan Xi'an hesitated for a moment, and then inserted it into the bun above his head. Yan Xi'an smiled slightly, looked at Lu Yu again, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, is it good-looking?" ”
Lu Yu's face turned red, and he snorted: "It's good-looking, the hairpin is good-looking." ”
Yan Xi'an smiled, paused, and asked again: "Uncle, what I asked." I'm not good-looking. ”
Lu Yu's face turned even redder, his heart was pounding, and he was about to answer "good-looking", but he heard Yanxi Ding say aside: "It's not good-looking, it's ugly." ”
"You're ugly." Yan Xi'an glared at his younger brother, and returned to his boudoir angrily.
Lu Yu was about to ask her what she was doing, but she heard Yan Xiding say, "She must have gone to look in the mirror and stinky beauty." ”
Lu Yu smiled slightly, and answered Yan Xi'an's question just now in his heart: "Good-looking, you are the best-looking." ”
The three of them plan to go back tomorrow, this night Lu Yu and Yan Xiding squeezed another bed, this kid was tired of walking today, and he didn't pester Lu Yu much at night.
But when he slept until midnight, Lu Yu heard that the street outside was actually lively.
Lu Yu was curious, and quietly got up, wanting to go out to have a look.
As soon as he got out of bed, Lu Yu was worried that he would wake up the sister and brother when he went out, so he decided to go out of his body and go out to see his soul.
Lu Yu is now very proficient in out-of-body experience, and without making a sound, Lu Yu went directly through the door of the house, floated to the street, and flew onto a roof.
On the street, a group of people gathered, carrying knives and torches.
The gang was clamoring and shouting, and they didn't know where they were going to make a fortune tonight. Jinhua City is now sparsely populated, ten rooms and nine empty, so many people in a group, I don't know where to go.
Lu Yu followed them, walked through several streets, and entered a dark alley. Lu Yu was a little puzzled, thinking that there was a rich family hidden in this deep alley, and this gang of robbers had come to rob the big one?
The group of robbers did enter a large high house, but they did not go in to rob them.
This house has a large yard and many houses in it, and I don't know who the head of the household is. The houses were all black-lit, but as soon as the robbers entered, they lit lamps in each house, and set up a great brazier in the courtyard, and the courtyard was illuminated.
Lu Yu stood on a rooftop and quietly watched everything in the courtyard.
In addition to the first group of people, there were robbers coming in one after another, and after an hour, the courtyard was crowded with people, Lu Yu roughly counted, there were actually as many as two hundred. I don't know what these people are here for.
In the crowd, an extremely tall man came out, this person was both tall and very burly, looking at the size, at least two Lu Yu weighed.
The man walked up to the brazier and said in a very loud voice, "I can't stay in the city anymore, what do you think?" ”
One of the robbers said, "Go to the country, where is the food in the city now?" ”
"Not only is there no food in the city, but there are also no women, and Lao Tzu can't stay for a long time."
"Go to the country, go to the country, the boss will take us to the country."
Lu Yu looked at this group of rabble and thought to himself: "These people, if they go to any village, the village must not be swept away." ”
The tall bandit leader said: "Of course you have to go to the country, there is nothing interesting in the city." After a pause, he said: "These villages near Jinhua City are all poor to death, and there is nothing to go, where do you say it is better to go?" ”
"Go farther away."
"Nonsense, who doesn't know how to go far."
Another person said: "I heard that at the foot of Yangshan Mountain in the north, those villages are quite rich, let's go there." ”
Lu Yu's heart moved, thinking that if these robbers went to the vicinity of Yangshan, it would be a little bad. He thought about it, hesitating to kill them.
But then Lu Yu thought again: "I'm afraid that the world is really going to be chaotic, and I'm only afraid that I will kill more people in the future, and this group of people in front of me won't kill them first." "In fact, Lu Yu doesn't have much confidence, he can really kill them all by himself.
The bandits continued to discuss and discuss, Lu Yu felt that there was nothing to hear, and when he was about to go back, he heard someone say: "Boss, there is a chick in the city today, and she looks beautiful." ”
"you, where are there any chicks in the city now, even if there is a mother, it is a crooked melon and cracked dates, uglier than you."
"Boss, I didn't lie to you, it's really a little girl, she lives in the west of the city......" This person said the address, and it was the area where Yan's house was located.
Lu Yu's heart sank, and he continued to listen. The boss was interested, and asked, "Is it really a young chick?" Not ugly yet? ”
"It's not ugly, the thief is good-looking, if it weren't for thinking about you, boss, I would have snatched that girl away during the day."
……
Lu Yu didn't dare to listen anymore, flew back to Yan's house, his soul returned to his body, first called Yan Xiding, and then asked Yan Xiding to wake up his sister. Yan Xiding didn't know why Lu Yu suddenly woke him up, but seeing Lu Yu's heavy face and serious expression, he didn't ask much, and immediately went to wake up Yan Xi'an.
Lu Yu told the sisters and brothers that there was a large wave of robbers coming here, and now they had to leave the Yan family and find a place to avoid it first.
The sister and brother were very panicked and a little confused, Yan Xiding asked Lu Yu how he knew that there would be robbers coming.
Lu Yu didn't have time to explain, saying that he heard it. He lifted the two large packages he had packed during the day with both hands, took his sister and brother, and went out of the house.
Although there were many empty houses nearby, Lu Yu was worried that he would still be found by robbers, so he took the two of them to walk half a mile in the dark, Lu Yu used his divine sense to find out that there was no one in a courtyard next to him, so he carried his sister and brother, jumped over the courtyard wall, and climbed in.
After entering the house, they found a bedroom, and the three of them stayed in the house, Lu Yu said: "Don't be afraid, that group of people is still far from here." ”
The sisters and brothers were indeed a little frightened, although they knew that Lu Yu was powerful, but the people who came were robbers, and they were still a big wave, but they were afraid that Lu Yu would not be able to deal with it.
Yan Xi'an said: "Uncle, won't they find here? ”
"No, I'm going to your house now."
Yan Xiding asked, "Uncle Da Yu, did you sneak out again at night?" How do you know if a robber is coming? ”
After thinking about it, Lu Yu said: "Yes, I sneaked out, and I happened to meet a group of robbers, and then I followed them until I went to a big courtyard." Later, many robbers came to the big courtyard, adding up to more than 200 people. ”
Hearing Lu Yu say this, Yan Xiding asked in surprise, "Are there so many people?" ”
Lu Yu nodded and continued: "I was hiding on the roof at the time, and I heard from them that there was nothing left to rob in Jinhua City, and I would go to the countryside below to rob in the future." ”
"To the countryside? That's bad. Yan Xi'an was worried.
