Chapter 148: The Horse Thief Is Coming
The sound of gongs and drums sounded in the village, and everyone was almost awakened, and the chief of the house informed him, "Everyone, I just got the news that the horse thief will come tonight, please pack up your things and go to the mountains quickly." ”
The chief knocked twice in the village, and the villagers were awakened, although they did not hear much, but they heard the word horse thief, and when they asked the villagers, they were sure of what they had heard.
"The lieutenant said the horse thief was coming?"
"yes, yes."
"But this black light is blinding, and I haven't gotten any news before, and I haven't heard of any horse thieves anywhere."
People are like this, they always feel that this thing has to happen somewhere else before it is possible, but often sometimes, this possibility happens to themselves.
Liu Man'er didn't know when the horse thief would come, she was carrying a bow and arrow, leading her horse, taking her monkey and dog, and leading everyone to the mountain, Aunt Han and Han Ping both carried the burden, the Fang family carried a big burden, holding Ye Tianchen, and several children also carried the burden to the mountain.
The Ye family lived at the end of the village, and if there were horse thieves coming, they would bear the brunt, and Liu Man'er went around the village to the mountains in order to convince everyone, and everyone saw that someone was setting an example, so they also began to pack up their things.
Immediately afterwards, the eldest lady also took the child and pushed the cart forward, and everyone became worried.
Sometimes it doesn't help to say you a hundred times, but if one person acts, the rest will follow.
Follow the trend, there will be in any era.
Seeing that the Li Chang's family and the Ye family, the big family in the village, had already evacuated, the people in the village were anxious, and they all packed up their things and prepared to evacuate.
But they packed up a lot of things, in addition to food, what quilts, pots and pans, chickens, ducks and geese, etc., all had to be taken away, and for a while, the village was full of chickens and dogs.
This is Liu Man'er's reluctance to come and inform the villagers' willingness, when they pack up their things, and the horse thief does not come, it must be her head to blame.
After all, the people here are the ones who are reluctant to throw away even a grain of rice, and they flee as if they were moving.
"Hurry up, everyone, it's important to save your life." The lieutenant chief beat the gongs and drums again, organizing on the side, and he felt anxious to death when he looked at them.
At this moment, Liu Man'er had come to the mountainside, she was riding on a horse, condescending, and saw the fire not far away.
"Lady Lichang, come and see." Liu Man'er beckoned to the eldest lady, who came over and stood on it, and sure enough, she saw a fire burning in a village not far away, and she covered her mouth in fright.
"I don't know if these damn horse thieves will come, they are very fast on horseback, you can tell the chief to let the villagers speed up, otherwise, you will definitely be unlucky."
"But ......," the eldest lady stopped talking.
Liu Man'er said: "They won't believe me, you are more authoritative." ”
While speaking, Liu Man'er asked Fang and Aunt Han to go up the mountain a little longer, until they reached a place where the horse couldn't come up.
The eldest lady also hurriedly let her two children push the cart up.
But this is a mountain, and it is difficult for the car to push up at all, so Liu Man'er asked them to leave the car alone, and go forward directly with valuable things first, just in case, while she beckoned to the eldest lady.
When the eldest lady came over, she stretched out her hand to the eldest lady, shook it hard, and pulled the eldest lady here into the car.
"Sit tight.!" Liu Man'er said as soon as he drove the horse, and the horse walked quickly down the mountain, the mountain was densely covered with jungles, and the black rumbling sounded, and the eldest lady was very frightened, for fear of hitting the tree, but this horse was aura, although it ran fast, but it perfectly bypassed these trees.
When she came to the village, the eldest lady found the chief, stood beside him, beat the gong and drum violently, and couldn't care too much, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up, everyone, there is already a fire in the next village, and I guess the next village is ours." ”
Hearing the words of the eldest lady, the villagers were very worried, and they rushed to push the cart forward.
The chief looked down at the eldest lady, and the eldest lady explained to him anxiously: "The master, it's true, I just saw it on the mountain, you should go quickly, this horse thief has a horse, the speed is very fast, the next village is only three miles away from us, I'm afraid they will arrive in only a quarter of an hour." ”
"Okay, let's go!" The lieutenant immediately walked to the mountain, and the lieutenant lady also ran behind him, while Liu Man'er drove the horse to the end of the village in front of him for a while, and took a look, this look, her face was instantly shocked, with her ear power, she had already heard the sound of horses' hooves!
She immediately drove her horse back, while informing the villagers: "Run, I just rode over, I already heard the sound, everyone first push this car to the side of the road to block the road, wait to buy some time, just take the soft and go, human life is at stake." ”
But although she was already in a hurry, the villagers were willing to listen to her, they still pushed their cars and rushed forward, and they were reluctant to let go.
How can this push car be fast? Liu Man'er saw that she had said many times, but they still didn't listen, so she ignored them and drove her horse to the front.
She was fast, and when she ran to the mountain to find Fang and the others, some of the villagers were still running up the mountain with their tails hanging on.
Liu Man'er sighed and shook her head, life and death are at stake, they are still worried about their property, and she is also drunk.
If you talk about property, who has more than her? She has chickens, ducks and geese all over the yard, as well as sheep and rabbits, all of which are money, and she feels distressed when she thinks about it.
She never thought that something like this would happen when she came here, it was the same as the terrorists in the peaceful world in her previous life, you don't know when something will happen to them, it's like flying into trouble.
"Run, the horse thief is coming." After resting on the mountain for about a few minutes, a voice came from below.
Liu Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, worried in her heart, and a sense of relief.
Worried that it was the horse thief who came, she was relieved that the horse thief really came, so that she would not have to be complained about by the villagers.
But compared to the former, she would rather be complained by the villagers.
Although she was hiding in the mountains, with her sensitive ears, she heard the sound below the mountain, as if a slow runner had been caught by a horse thief, and it seemed that because the village was empty, the horse thief was very angry and set fire to the village.
Liu Man'er was sad and wanted to cry, she was so worried about her house, her home, the house she had worked so hard to build.
But there was a little luck in her heart, because her house was a green brick, and it shouldn't be so easy to burn, not to mention, she still left so many things at home, and she just hoped that the horse thief wouldn't burn her house.
However, standing in her position, she could clearly see the firelight in the village, and her house at the end of the village was also filled with fireworks, Ye He and Cao'er were crying loudly, Fang's family was also crying silently on the side, and Liu Man'er felt a little sorry for her book.
The books she worked so hard to copy, thinking that when the time came, the house would become a scholarly family, and it was gone, along with her letter.
But fortunately, fortunately, the firewood in the house is piled up in the old house, otherwise, it is estimated that her house will be burned even worse, and there is still some luck in her heart, but fortunately, everyone is fine, fortunately she went to see Ye Feng today, fortunately she came back late, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do?" Ye He snuggled up to Liu Man'er, tears falling from her eyes, "Our house was burned down by horse thieves." ”
"It's okay, it's okay if people are okay." Liu Man'er said, "The house burns down, and then it will be rebuilt." ”
"Woo woo woo ......" But Ye He still couldn't cry and couldn't control himself, Liu Man'er hugged Ye He with one hand, and one hugged the grass, and Fang Shi hugged Ye Tianchen on the side and wept silently.
Yun Niang and Aunt Han on the side also had a look on their faces, and Liu Man'er said, "Okay, everyone is fine." ”
"Do you want to go up again?" The eldest lady came over and asked, she was faintly dominated by Liu Man'er, and wanted to get Liu Man'er's opinion.
"No, in our position, even if the horse thieves come up, we can run away, not to mention, they have other targets." Liu Man'er sighed thinking about it, she was really sorry, and forgot to inform the villagers in other villages for a while.
She was a little worried about Xiaowan Village, after all, it was next door to Dawan Village, thinking of Caowan Village, and Wang Zi'an, the sunny boy, Liu Man'er suddenly stood up and led the horse to go down the mountain.
"Man'er, where are you going?" Fang Shi saw Liu Man'er's movements and hurriedly asked.
"I've got to go to Xiaowan Village, I'm going to inform them." Liu Man'er said: "Now that the horse thieves are burning our village again to vent their anger, they must not have left for a while, I will go quickly now, and I can inform them." ”
"Man'er, you ......" Fang Clan wanted to stop it, but he couldn't say anything to stop it.
"Mother, I'll be careful, if there is a trace of a horse thief coming up, you can throw things away, people matter, you know?" Liu Man'er admonished, and then led the horse to the other side of the mountain.
She won't go down the mountain stupidly, but this mountain is all figured out, and Liu Man'er can still reach Xiaowan Village when she goes down from the mountain.
When she walked to the side of the chief, she pulled the gong and drum on the waist of the chief, and the chief was stunned, but he also listened to Liu Man'er and Fang's words just now.
"I'll go with you." The lieutenant said.
"No, you don't." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "I have a horse, you can ride it later, if you go, it's too dangerous." ”
"Okay then." The lieutenant thought about it, and then he didn't insist.
After all, it's your own life that matters.
Liu Man'er led the horse and went to the mountain in the dark, but after all, it was a forest with black lights and blind fire, and at this moment the moonlight was also blocked by the clouds, not only the horse, but also she often stepped on the air, and the speed was much slower.
After thinking about it, she felt that this speed was too slow, and it was not a way, so Liu Man'er bit her fingertips, ripped off her clothes and wrote a few words, and then tied them to Shuai Shuai's feet, and asked Shuai Shuai to inform Wang Zi'an.
As for the result, she can't control it, do her best, and let it be fate.
