Chapter 70: The Decisive Battle
"Lilacs! Clove! My cloves! ”
When the mother heard Lilac's voice, she raised her head, and her thin figure was reflected in her tearful blurred vision, and she immediately got up and ran over.
Dad also looked at Lilac, and his mind couldn't turn for a while, but soon, tears moistened his eyes a little.
The rough man wiped his hand and smiled.
"Lilac!" The mother cried for a while, hurriedly withdrew, pulled Lilac to look left and right, and asked anxiously, "You're not injured, are you?" Is there any discomfort there? Yes? If you have it, you have to say it, don't hide it from your parents. ”
"Yes, yes, you must tell your father and mother if there is anything." Dad also echoed, a little incoherent.
The tip of Lilac's nose is slightly sour, "Dad, mother." I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm not hurt, don't worry. ”
She spun around as she spoke, "You see, I'm fine. ”
Hearing this, the mother breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her tears, and her tone was still a little choked, "It's okay, it's okay." Daddy and mother know that you have been arrested by robbers, and you are so anxious that you can't do anything, you can come back safely, it is really a bodhisattva's blessing. ”
"It must be Guanyin Bodhisattva who has appeared, and you can come back." Dad followed his mother's words.
Lilac didn't care about those atheisms, and followed her father's words and said: "Yes, yes, it's really Guanyin Bodhisattva who blesses me and blesses me to come back." ”
To be able to see you.
Someone can worry about her.
Yes, that's it.
Lilac was so moved in her heart, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, she really hadn't encountered such a worrying moment for a long time.
But the two ordinary peasant families in front of her gave her such a big touch.
"By the way, Lilac, have the people who robbed you like you come back?"
"They're all back, and I've got them all back." Lilac replied, "The villagers are now preparing for a village feast!" ”
Father and mother listened sideways, and really heard the faint sound of gongs and drums, their house is not far from the hometown, the sound is so loud, you can hear it carefully.
"Good, good!" The mother patted Lilac's hand, and her eyes were full of concern.
After Lilac and her party finally arrived home, although their father, mother and others were glad that they were back, Lilac could see that everyone's mood was not very high.
The county magistrate first returned to the county office and instructed his men to go to every house in the village to check one by one to see if there was anything wrong.
Finally, when he heard that all the people who went out came back to report that there was no problem, Hai Rui was a little relieved.
It was already dark when Hai Rui walked to the village chief's house, and he met several villagers along the way, and greeted him when he saw him.
Hai Rui was a little relieved, General Lin had told him that the people in the village were panicking, which might be an exaggeration.
Now that the army has also come, he and General Lin are also discussing countermeasures. There shouldn't be much of a mess for the time being.
He has sent people to watch over all parts of the village, and he will be notified of any movement in time to ensure the safety and peace of mind of the people.
Ahead, I finally saw the house of the third uncle's family, and there were also people from the county government standing at the door, and someone from the village chief's house had to watch and arrange for the village chief to inform the villagers of the news at any time.
All the way, Hai Rui's heart was anxious and helpless, and when he came to the third uncle's house, the third uncle was sitting in the room waiting for him with a sad face.
Seeing that the county order was coming, the third uncle was about to get up, but was stopped by Hai Rui in a hurry.
"Third uncle, don't get up."
The third uncle nodded, sighed, and pulled Hai Rui to sit down at the table.
"Well, it's good you're back. I'm really choking on this old bone. ”
The third uncle sighed, knocked on the old pipe, and poured Hai Rui a cup of tea.
"Third uncle, how is the situation in the village now?" Hai Rui asked worriedly.
The third uncle sighed before slowly speaking.
"You must have seen it on the road when you came back, and now these robbers are making everyone in the village panic. At night, where do people dare to go out now, they are terrified. ”
The third uncle took a sip of tea and continued to speak.
"But I've almost been appeased before, but this alone can't do it, I have to take practical action, otherwise there will definitely be trouble among the people again."
"These thieves! When I catch them, there will be absolutely no one left! No mercy! But after saying this, Hai Rui thought of something again, and suddenly fell silent.
Thinking of what the third uncle said, Hai Rui lowered his head guiltily.
"It's my problem, I don't have the ability to manage this area, and I really don't want to let these robbers do evil. I have not fulfilled my due obligations, because I am ashamed of the trust I have in everyone. ”
The third uncle sighed, reached out and patted Hai Rui's shoulder.
"Don't talk nonsense in the county order, these robbers are rampant, if you don't have it, General Lin and everyone are ready to take the lead in extermination, I don't know how many more people will be harmed."
The third uncle shook his pipe and patted Hai Rui again to express comfort.
"Everyone in our village has a heart, and everyone sees what you do in their eyes and in their hearts. How can I blame you and hate you because of this? ”
The third uncle stood up and paced slowly around the table.
"The main problem now is that they have people in their hands to blackmail, and our army can't fight it."
Hai Rui nodded when he heard the words of the third uncle, and suddenly his eyes lit up when he thought of something.
"Third uncle, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go and call General Lin over, I have an idea."
The third uncle nodded and sat back on the stool.
"Okay, you go, I'll wait for you."
After listening to the third uncle's words, Hai Rui turned around and went to find General Lin, knocked on the doors of many houses, and finally Hai Rui found General Lin at Lilac's house.
"General Lin, I have a good way to exterminate the robbers, let's go to the third uncle's house and say."
General Lin was also very happy when he heard that Hai Rui had a way, and the two of them hurried to the third uncle's house.
When they arrived at the third uncle's house, the three of them went to the house and sat down, Hai Rui thought about it and said.
"I think so, we can't work by water and land today, and the robbers must be more familiar with these two roads than we are."
General Lin nodded when he heard Hai Rui's analysis.
These robbers often go down the mountain to burn and loot, and these two roads must be very familiar.
In the past few days, the first is that they have suffered the loss of the people in the hands of the other party, and the second is the loss of not being familiar with the road enough.
Hai Rui paused and continued: "In that case, let's hit them and catch them off guard. ”
When the third uncle heard Hai Rui say this, he suddenly felt that his mouth was suddenly opened.
