After going down the mountain, before reaching the entrance of the village, I saw the mess all over the ground, some melons, fruits and vegetables were trampled on to rot, and there were some carcasses of poultry and livestock, and after two steps, everyone saw several corpses lying on the ground, Liu Man'er didn't know, but a few people behind her took a step forward and said, "It's the Yan family." ”

Among them, Lao Yan's woman's death can be described as extremely miserable, Liu Man'er almost didn't vomit when she saw it, what she was most afraid of was actually death.

But this time, these people died beside her, even under her nose, which made her heart feel a little haze for no reason.

"Any of you take off your clothes and cover her, and when it's all right, we'll come back and bury them." Liu Man'er said to the descendants of the village behind him.

"Okay." These people selected by the chief are still good offspring in the village, and one of them took off his coat at the moment and covered up the woman of Lao Yan.

Although I don't know this old Yan Liu Man'er, I have also heard of his name, which is a famous iron rooster in the village, and his car is next to it, and the things on it are turned over in a mess.

Liu Man'er could imagine the scene at that time, presumably because she was reluctant to put away the things in the house, and she had to pack up the bits and pieces, but she was caught by the horse thieves who were chasing after her.

It's just that he pities his wife, she must have suffered a lot, looking at her like that, her body is bruised, and her lower body is bloody, and as a woman, Liu Man'er is not comfortable in her heart.

"Let's go, let's go to the village." Liu Man'er took out the bow and arrows on her body, held them in her hands, and prepared to shoot arrows, she was worried that there would be horse thieves hiding in the village.

When they entered the village, everyone's eyes turned red, their homes were no longer destroyed by these horse thieves, there were ruins everywhere, and there was even green smoke on the beams of the roofs.

"Let's go around the village first and see how it goes." Liu Man'er said that she was going to call everyone to go and have a look, because there were many descendants who wanted to go to their own homes to extinguish the fire first.

After hearing Liu Man'er's words, they followed Liu Man'er around to make sure that none of the horse thieves had left, and then went to the mountain together to inform everyone to come down.

But Liu Man'er felt her eyelids flutter inexplicably, and when she saw that everyone was pushing things and preparing to go down the mountain, she walked to the side of the chief and said, "Chief, do I think we should wait any longer?" ”

Liu Man'er was worried that after these damn horse thieves looted from here, they would kill one of them.

"You mean?" The governor was also a little scared in his heart.

"I'm afraid they're going to kill you." Liu Man'er said: "If such a big thing happens, the court will definitely investigate it, these horse thieves, where can they hide?" For example, what kind of copycat? ”

"There is a cottage, called Harrier Village, in the early years, there were some bandits on it, not far from us, only a few dozen miles away, if these horse thieves really want to go to the Harrier Village, wait for them to rob this piece, they may pass by us."

"Life is precious." Although she is also very worried about her home, Liu Man'er still feels that safety comes first.

"Then let's wait." As he spoke, he shouted loudly to the crowd, "Wait a little longer, just in case these horse thieves fly back to kill them." ”

"The horse thieves are gone, how can they kill the horse pistol!" Some people didn't believe it, and scolded and said: "If you don't go down, the beams of my house will burn out, it's still cold, and there will be no house at that time, where will we live!" ”

Liu Man'er sighed when she heard this, let them go, she couldn't care so much anyway.

The lieutenant chief was also very angry, and shouted: "I'll put my words here, go back if you don't want to die, wait for something to happen, don't come to us!" ”

"Elder Li, it's not that we don't want to die, it's really that the house is there." One villager said: "And the chickens and ducks we raise, if they go late, those animals don't know where to go." ”

As soon as the villager's words came out, everyone whispered, so many people, a few words per person, the mountain was boiling in an instant.

Ye He pulled Liu Man'er's wrist with some worry, and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go back too?" We have so many chickens and ducks. ”

Saying that, she glanced at these villagers in the village, beckoned to Liu Man'er, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, these people are in a hurry, maybe they want to catch other people's chickens, and those chickens and ducks in our family have long been red-eyed." ”

"Leave them alone." Liu Man'er shook her head and said: "The chickens and ducks are gone, we will raise them again when the time comes, but if the human life is gone, then there will be no return." ”

"Okay." Ye He nodded, a little worried.

And those villagers were in a hurry to go down the mountain, and when Liu Man'er saw it, she sneered in her heart.

The horse thief is terrible, but what is even more terrible is the human heart, Liu Man'er heard the two horse thieves talk, and knew that they were actually ordinary farmers, but they put down their hoes and held the butcher knife.

And what are the thoughts of these people who are in a hurry to go down the mountain? One wants to go down as soon as possible to get back their poultry and livestock, while others want to go down the mountain early so that they can go to someone else's home to take the sheep and make up for their losses.

Needless to say, Liu Man'er's family is the richest, and there must be many people who are targeting her family.

More and more people went down the mountain, Liu Man'er was still immobile on the mountain, and she even said to Aunt Han: "Aunt Han, let's cook, I've been hungry for a long time." ”

"yes, let's cook first." Fang Shi also said: "Yesterday, everyone hurriedly packed up their things, and they didn't eat dinner.

So, Aunt Han and Han Fang set up the pot and prepared to cook, Ye He and Cao'er went to pick wild vegetables, and Han Ping went to pick up some dead branches around.

The eldest lady walked to Liu Man'er's side and asked, "Ye Yuan lady, you really can't go down?" ”

"I'll go down later." Liu Man'er replied.

The eldest lady reminded: "You must know that the population in this village is large, and there are more thoughts, and many people are thinking about your family." ”

"Let them think about it, and come back when their daughters are gone." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "Anyway, I will recognize whoever took my things, and I will let them return them when the time comes." ”

"Okay." The eldest lady sighed, and said with a shy face: "I came out early yesterday, and these pots and pans have not been cleaned up, and my two children are indeed very hungry, can you cook more?" When you go down the mountain, I'll return the rice and noodles to you. ”

"Let's come and eat together." Liu Man'er didn't say much, she directly beckoned them over, and then asked Aunt Han to cook a little food, and she herself took a bow and arrow to the mountain.

"I'm going to hunt two rabbits and come back." Liu Man'er told Fang Shi and the others: "Don't run around, let alone go down the mountain, you know?" According to my speculation with the chief, it is very likely that the horse thief will come back. ”

"Okay, I know." Fang nodded in agreement, with a worried look on his face.

Liu Man'er also sighed, and went into the mountain with a bow and arrow.

How long has it been since she has been hunting in the mountains? I can't remember it, it's been almost a year, but fortunately, with this group of hard-working children, this bow and arrow is getting more and more slippery, and now it can come in handy again.

Walking all the way up, the noise in the ears finally slowly subsided, and the sound in the forest came into Liu Man'er's eardrums, Liu Man'er walked all the way to the place where there was a sound, and successfully hit a pheasant, and picked up a few wild eggs by the way.

It was also her luck that after the harvest, she came down the mountain, at this time, Ye He and Cao'er also picked some wild vegetables nearby, and went to the stream to wash them together, and Liu Man'er simply boiled the chicken with various wild vegetables to make a big pot of vegetables.

Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar have brought some, and there are several pots, one pot for cooking, one pot for stewing this chicken soup, and after a while, it is full of aroma.

More than a dozen people eat this bowl of vegetables is indeed a little less, but fortunately, the wild vegetables are full, and they add wild vegetables and salt while cooking, and they are finally full.

After everyone finished eating, they sat down to rest for a while, the eldest lady and the Fang family chatted on the side, chatting and scolding, while wiping tears, Liu Man'er planned to wait until noon, if there was nothing to do, go back.

After all, by that time, the county should also get the news, and these horse thieves will not dare to make trouble anymore.

However, just when Aunt Han picked up the pots and pans and washed them away, everyone was condescending, and suddenly saw a group of people coming on horseback.

The eldest lady asked in a trembling voice, "Is this a horse thief?" ”

"Hmm." The lieutenant replied in a deep voice.

He was a little worried that the villagers in the village were coming, and there were still many villagers who kept advising them to come down the mountain, hoping that nothing would happen to them.

More villagers who were afraid of death and stayed on the mountain had to be happy at the moment, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately they did not leave, but chose to stay, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

This time, more nervous than during the day, through the woods they saw the thief enter the village again, and after about half an hour in it, he hurried away again.

Waiting for their figures to turn a corner on the road, until they could no longer be seen, the lieutenant asked Liu Man'er tremblingly: "Ye Yuan Niang, do you think you can go down the mountain now?" ”

"That's it." Liu Man'er nodded, and said, "But it's better to leave the children on the mountain, I think the environment in the village must be a little bad now!" ”

She was worried about the appearance of the children seeing the corpses everywhere, and she was afraid to see them herself, and she didn't want the children to leave a shadow.

"You're right." The lieutenant chief nodded, and said to the people in the village: "Everyone put the old people and children on the mountain first, and the men will follow me, and then go and clean the village first." ”

"That's right." Everyone responded, and with a heavy heart, some men took hoes, led by the chief, and went down the mountain together.

Liu Man'er didn't go again, she didn't want to see such a bloody scene again, she took the children and continued to wait on the mountain.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go down the mountain and have a look." Ye He turned his head to her and said.

"Don't go, wait until they come up." Liu Man'er shook her head and said: "If you have nothing to do, embroider and embroider, the family has suffered a big disaster this time, and the family may have to rely on your embroidery to subsidize the family in the future." ”

"Hmm." Ye He nodded heavily and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will help you, our family used to have nothing, don't we live anymore." ”

"You're right." Liu Man'er patted her head and hugged her beside her, and the grass on the side also looked at her timidly, she hugged the grass tightly, and said, "You are also a good boy, don't be afraid." ”

"I'll embroider too." Cao'er whispered, and her big eyes went straight to the bottom of Liu Man'er's heart.

Shaking her head helplessly, Liu Man'er patted their little heads and said, "Don't worry, I just said casually, our family wants to raise the two of you to be a lady, where can you use embroidery to subsidize the family." ”
