Coming to the front of Li Yu and the two was Hu Danian, the town guard of Niutou Town, Li Yu had seen him from afar a few times, and he heard people complain that he had heard too much, so he naturally remembered him.

Hu Danian's official authority is not small, and at this time, he looked at Li Yu and them with a look of scrutiny, with a lofty attitude.

Li Yu was a little uncomfortable with such a gaze, but he was an official, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

As a poor man in the countryside, Li Yu, like most people, has an instinctive awe of officials in his heart, and in the face of Hu Danian's question, he replied: "Lord Hui, there are monsters everywhere outside, we came all the way here, not a single living person was seen, the outside was too terrible, we didn't dare to run around, because the specific situation is not very clear."

For such an answer, Hu Danian looked a little disappointed, frowned and asked in a deep voice: "You didn't find anything else?" For example, the county direction to send troops or masters to come and so on"

Hearing this, Li Yu looked around again and understood what Hu Danian meant, it turned out that they were waiting for the rescue of the county seat.

Shaking his head, Li Yu said, "My lord, we haven't found anyone from the county."

Hu Danian refers to people from the imperial court, Fang Qing and they are not counted, right? Li Yuxin said when answering.

For such an answer, Hu Danian seemed very disappointed, waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, that's it, you find a place to stay in the courtyard, wait for the court to send someone to come to the rescue, remember, you are not allowed to speak loudly and make trouble, otherwise be careful that the official will cut off your head during the special period!" ”

Dropping such a sentence, Hu Danian turned around and left, as if he didn't want to stay with people like Li Yu for a moment.

Li Yu didn't care, for an official like Hu Danian, if there was no need, Li Yu didn't want to contact the other party at all, he always felt uncomfortable, well, an inexplicable urge to beat people would rise in his heart......

As for the rescue from the imperial court, maybe it will come, right?

As far as Li Yu knows, because of the rampant bandits, there is an army stationed in the county, although the specific number is not clear, but the army, synonymous with killing machines, if you come to the rescue, you want to be able to help the people present get through the difficulties, right?

Seeing Hu Danian enter the lobby through the crowd, Li Yu unexpectedly found that after entering the lobby, this guy seemed to lower his posture and say something to one person, but because of the angle, Li Yu couldn't see the specificity of the other person, and only felt that the clothes were a little familiar.

At this time, it was afternoon, the scorching sun was hanging in the sky, and the heat was unbearable, Li Yu took Li Dashu to a shady place to look around.

Around the courtyard there were more than a dozen catchers dressed in black robes, who had their things in the courtyard and stood on them to observe the situation outside, they had knives, and some were equipped with bows and arrows.

More than 100 people in the courtyard staggered, most of them pale and chapped lips, and they didn't know if they were hungry or blown by the sun.

"Dad, I'm hungry ......"

At this time, a four- or five-year-old child next to Li Yu suppressed his crying and said pitifully to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said bitterly: "Xiaobao, bear with me, when it gets dark, the adults will let people bring us porridge."

"But Dad, two bowls of gruel a day can't be enough at all, when can we eat enough, why can we only drink gruel, but the town guard can eat big fish and meat?" The child sobbed as he looked in the direction of the lobby.

"People are officials, of course they can eat better, Xiaobao, don't think about this, bear with me, we will be saved when the county army comes, and we will definitely be able to eat when the time comes" The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

If you are an official, you can eat and dress well at any time and have someone to serve, can you compare with ordinary people?

With a move in his heart, Li Yu came to the middle-aged man's side, lowered his voice and asked: "Uncle, I just came here and don't know the situation, but it's not a matter if so many people here are exposed to the sun, obviously there are a lot of houses over there that are enough for everyone to rest, why don't you go over there?" ”

"Because the town guard won't let you," the middle-aged man replied in a low voice, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Frowning, Li Yu asked again: "Then the town guard won't let you go?" ”

"Then what else can I do, there are knives in the hands of more than a dozen fast catchers around, who dares to anger the town guard?" The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

Looking at the people around him who seemed to be unable to stand steadily, Li Yu understood the helplessness of the middle-aged man.

Immediately, Li Yu lowered his voice again and asked, "Uncle, I just saw that there were still people in the lobby, and Lord Zhenshou seemed to be very respectful to him, do you know who it is?" ”

"You're talking about Daoist Zhou, that's a master, of course the town guard has to be respected, and who is there who doesn't respect him? They all count on him to save their lives," the middle-aged man said, glancing in the direction of the lobby.

"Daoist Zhou? Expert? Li Yu said he didn't understand.

The middle-aged man explained: "Daoist Zhou was the first person to come here, that is a master of the Dao with real skills, he has personally killed several monsters that cannot be killed, here, his reputation is higher than that of Lord Zhenshou."

"How did he kill the monster?" Li Yu asked with interest.

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man said with a look of awe: "He, when he came here that day, there were a few monsters in the yard, and the monster couldn't be killed even if he cut off the arms and legs of the monster. ”

It's a fart, although the monster is terrible, but as long as the head is cut off, won't it be solved, and the sun is really hot, I'm afraid I don't know how much firewood is wasted.

Li Yu pouted in his heart, and said in his heart, what kind of Zhou Daochang is afraid that it is not the one who ran away from Wang Youcai's house.

Thinking of this, Li Yu felt that it was really possible that the master was the Taoist priest, after all, he vaguely felt that the other party was a little familiar before, but he didn't see it clearly and was not sure.

At this moment, a catcher stood at the door of the lobby and said in a low voice: "Listen, the food in the yamen has been exhausted, tonight's meal of gruel has been canceled, and the adults have sent people to the county for help, and there will be troops coming soon, so everyone be patient."

After saying this, the catcher entered the lobby without looking back.

"How so? We haven't been able to eat enough for two days."

"I don't even have to drink gruel, if I continue like this, I will really starve to death"

"Please, sir, my children are fainting from hunger......"

The quick sentence made the pot fried on the spot, and more than 100 people complained.

"Shut up if you don't want to die, do you want to lure monsters? If you make any more trouble, I'll cut you down first without monsters! Under the chaotic scene, the head catcher said angrily with a frosty face.

As he spoke, more than a dozen other knives were drawn, and they were particularly penetrating in the sun......
