Chapter XXXVII

The gunfire outside rang out for a while, and then faded away, and then intermittently, so that people could faintly hear it.

The people of Fangjiazhuang closed the door, the whole Zhuangzi was silent, the cooking smoke dissipated, the lights went out, not only Fangjiazhuang, but the surrounding villages also seemed to lose a lot of popularity in an instant.

But it's okay, in the end, they are all weathered for a long time, and the disasters and wars have not been less, especially Fangjiazhuang, most of them came to flee, and there were ups and downs along the way, and almost all of them have been seen.

Moreover, there is a team of guards in the Zhuangzi, although there is no gun, but they train every day, eat well, and are healthy.

As the whole day passed, when no one came to harass them, people's spirits gradually relaxed, and the sound of whispering could be heard outside.

Uncle Ming's Cui'er also sneaked out and didn't know where to get back a handful of Huang Chengcheng's bullets, so much so that his father was startled, grabbed her and slapped her viciously, Cui'er howled and cried, even Fang Ruohua was alarmed, and when she heard the cause and effect, she couldn't wait to catch this little girl and teach her a lesson.

"You're bold!" Xia Fen was dumbfounded.

The rain fell intermittently for several days before finally clearing.

The gunfire outside has also stopped for a few days, what is the situation, the news is closed at the moment, and the family does not know, but the people don't seem to care much about this matter, seeing that it is too peaceful, everyone will live as usual.

The school was temporarily suspended, and Xia Fen and Fang Ruohua had nothing to do for a few days, so Xia Fen simply cleaned up at home, dismantled and washed the bedding, and took it outside to expose to the sun.

Fang Ruohua sat at the door with Fang Xiao, fiddling with chess pieces while watching Uncle Niu take a few juniors to help clean up the mud at the gate.

The location of their house is not very good, some of them are low-lying, and it is okay on a sunny day, but when it rains, there is a muddy field in front of the door, and the dead branches and leaves blown by the wind are mixed with muddy water, and you can go up to your neck when you step down.

"In two days, let them go to the mountains to get some rocks, and just put on a mat." Uncle Niu poured a sip of cold water and said with a smile. A few juniors next to him agreed with a grin: "I'll do it tomorrow, there will be a lot of rain in summer, so I won't have to work again." ”

As he was talking, three young men walked not far away, all wearing burlap clothes, their faces were black and red, but their faces were radiant, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were full of spirit, but they looked left and right with vigilance.

Uncle Niu squinted his eyes and made a look, and several descendants moved their steps without a trace, faintly protecting Fang Xiao and Ruohua behind, the two of them saw that they were living people, and they didn't want to be disturbed, so they simply avoided under the tree next to them.

"Fellow, we are passing by, can we ask for a bowl of water to drink?"

The three young men walked over lightly, glanced at the courtyard where there was no end in sight, and was shaded by tall trees, and said to Uncle Niu with a smile.

Uncle Niu was also very polite, and hurriedly asked his nephew to get a pot of hot tea, and scalded the teacup before giving it to the guests: "It's just a pot of coarse tea, please don't mind the guests." ”

A few young people didn't even dare to say, they were very easy-going, talking to Uncle Niu while drinking tea, asking about the harvest in the field, asking if life was okay, talking for a long time, one of them looked up at the door of the Fang family, his expression was dark and difficult to see, and said with a smile: "This is a big family, look at the Zhumen embroidered household, pile of gold and jade...... Heard that all the land around is theirs? ”

Uncle Niu was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face became more and more honest and honest, and he said with a smile: "Our Zhuangzi is called Fangjiazhuang, and of course the surrounding fields belong to Master Fang's family." ”

The young man's eyes lit up, and he began to talk quietly, and he waited for a long time before leaving.

As soon as they left, Uncle Niu straightened his face and turned to find Fang Xiao: "Master Fang, I see that these people have bad intentions, maybe they are coming to step on the plate. ”

Uncle Niu fled all the way from the Northeast, traveled all over the country, and the things he encountered can be regarded as a car bucket, don't look like a simple man, in fact, there is a lot of heart and eyes, those hairy children want to talk from his mouth, and I am afraid there is still some hope for another thirty years.

"These days are not peaceful, I heard my aunt say a few days ago, the gang of bandits on the mountain in the south are ready to move, it is estimated that they want to take advantage of the fire to rob and get some benefits, our Fangjiazhuang is the richest, and they must be targeted."

Speaking of this, Uncle Niu's whole body muscles were tense, and the big guy finally lived a stable life, but he couldn't be ruined by these little people.

Fang Xiao also solemnly responded, and explained that the people in the village were doubly careful, just looking at the historical materials, they also knew that there was a serious problem of banditry in this period, and it was not a joke.

Fang Ruohua didn't react at first, but when he returned to the house and thought about it, he couldn't help but smile, where are the bandits, eighty percent of them are Xiang Jun's people.

The revolutionaries were stationed nearby to rest, and Xiang Jun and others made decisions for the people and cleaned up a group of local tyrants and inferior gentry, which is the plot in the novel. It's just that there seems to be some mistakes in time.,But this paragraph was only mentioned in the novel for a few sentences.,It's not described in detail.,After all, it's just a romance novel.,All the plots serve the love between the male and female protagonists.。

The three young men were indeed as Fang Ruohua thought, they were the rebels who had just come to the nearby villages to recuperate, and they issued an order from above, demanding the eradication of a group of rich and unkind big landlords, so as to win the hearts of the people and raise military funds.

The so-called soldiers and horses go first before they move the grain and grass, and their money and food are limited, so they always have to think of other ways.

"Brother Xiang said that there are a lot of landlords around Yangcheng, we looked at three villages all the way, and there are really a few very remarkable households, so I said that the family surnamed Fang just now, look at the scale of the house, it is estimated that a lot of long-term workers are employed, and there are five or six households who help their family clean up the mud at the door today, I think, you can ask around, and see if the Fang family has done anything harmful."

"I don't think I need to ask, there are a few big families who don't have a few lives under their hands now!"

Listening to the two companions talking lively, the older one next to him shook his head: "Don't be preconceived, you can't conclude that people are not good people just because they are rich and noble. ”

He frowned and thought about it, "I think those fellow villagers just now were very wary of us, not like the other party had any complaints, on the contrary, they also protected the Fang family in and out of words." ”

"You think too much, most of those ordinary people are not driven to death, they are all like quails, where do they dare to resist? At the gate of the Fang family, they just have grievances, how can they say it directly? When we go back and inquire privately, we can always find out the results. Okay, go back and discuss and see how to deal with these pests that eat the flesh and blood of the common people! ”
