Chapter 152: Into the City

In addition to a few villages near Harrier Village, the people in several villages near Liu Man'er are also afraid and worried, trembling every day, Liu Man'er is also the same worry, and he can't even sleep peacefully every day.

Because of this incident, the people in the city did not dare to come out again, Ye Feng lived in the city and did not return, Liu Man'er didn't know what happened to him, and felt fortunate that he was in the city, after all, if he was in the village, he would inevitably be affected by this incident and delay his study.

After the horse thief incident, the villagers even had less smiles, and they had just planted the land, and when they were not harvested, they encountered horse thieves again, which was simply worse for the villagers.

Many villagers go up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to make a living.

The grain in Liu Man'er's cellar was not damaged, but there was still food to eat, and the white rice was the same every day, and the food remained unchanged.

The Fang family took some food from the family to a few uncles and a few good neighbors, Liu Man'er felt that she was doing the right thing, so naturally she didn't stop it.

Sometimes, as soon as her family cooks, some children in the village will wander around at the door of her house, and every time Liu Man'er will always ask Aunt Han to cook a little more, and when she sees the children, she will use lotus leaves to wrap a rice ball for each of them.

She's not a philanthropist, but these children are really pitiful, and it's okay to give them a little food.

However, there are more children who come to Liu Man'er's door every day, and there are often beggars who come into the village, which is annoying.

Liu Man'er simply closed the door for two days, so that there were fewer people who came to her house to hang out.

This world is indeed not peaceful, this gang of horse thieves has not been eliminated, the government has sent people several times, but each time they have returned, Liu Man'er wanted to go to the city to have a look, but every time he was dissuaded by the Fang clan to come back.

Also, life is precious, she is a woman, and she does not dare to take risks, if she encounters a horse thief, it will be bad.

Liu Man'er went to the town to buy cloth, made clothes at home every day, embroidered flowers, etc., Ye Yuan wrote a letter before to say that he would come back, but now that a month has passed, there is still no trace, and there is no letter back, every time Fang asks, she can only say that it is fast.

Because of the fear of horse thieves, Liu Man'er didn't dare to prepare too much of the things at home, and the firewood went up the mountain every day to cut it, and the furniture was broken, so she would use it like this, in case she came again, she really couldn't afford to hurt it.

And every time she did some work, she would listen quietly for a while, listen to the sound of horses' hooves, and if there was any horses' hooves, she would immediately run outside to see.

The village was also afraid, so he specially asked people to guard the intersection on both sides, and also fenced the road, and asked them to come over to inform them if there was a situation.

Rao is like this, the villagers are still a little relieved, I heard that this horse thief has attacked several villages, this time they only need food, if they do not pay food, they will burn their village, the end is extremely frightening.

Every time I go to report to the government, but these horse thieves are guerrilla warfare, and when the people from the government come, these horse thieves have already run away, not only the villagers are unbearable, but even the people of the government are also annoyed.

However, this horse bandit is indeed a big problem for the government, if this horse bandit is not solved, it will definitely become a cancer in this place, and more and more people will join in the act of being a horse bandit, after all, there are so many people in Liyang County who want to get something for nothing.

On this day, Liu Man'er got a good news, and the lieutenant told everyone that the imperial court had sent a general to suppress the horse bandit, and the horse bandit would be taken down in the near future.

The people were all happy, but Liu Man'er was still a little worried, the government couldn't help it, even if it was to transfer heavy troops, what could it do?

After all, this horse bandit has recently robbed several villages and many large households, and I heard that the food hoarded on the harrier village is enough for them to eat for three years.

And the harrier village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as they don't come down, I'm afraid they won't be able to attack even if the soldiers come, unless they don't care about life and death.

But who can not cherish their own life? Presumably, no one wants to move forward without fear of death.

Everyone was overjoyed, but Liu Man'er was worried.

Within a few days, I had already received news that these soldiers had arrived, and now they were living under the Harrier Village, ready to attack.

Liu Man'er didn't know the specific situation, these were all said by the villagers, after all, this harrier village is not far from this Dawan Village, but it is only thirty miles away, and everyone is more concerned about this matter, so the news over there spreads quickly.

Liu Man'er hoped that they could take this tumor down as soon as possible, so that she could sleep well.

However, Harrier Village was besieged by them, Liu Man'er could go to the county seat to see Ye Feng and the others, she was worried that Ye Feng and the others would worry about them when they got the news, so she had to go to report the news.

When the Fang clan heard her reason, it was not easy to stop her, so he let her go, and told her to pay attention to safety on the road, Liu Man'er told them not to worry, so they left the village and went to the county seat.

Along the way, there was nothing to do, and when she came to the county seat, Liu Man'er first went to her own shop, and Liu Yunsheng and others were naturally overjoyed to see her.

"Sister, are you okay at home? We got word that the bandits had attacked our villages along the way, and we were terrified. Liu Yunsheng said anxiously.

"It's fine." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "I came this time to tell you about the characteristics, so that you don't have to worry." ”

"It's okay." Liu Yunsheng can be regarded as relieved.

Liu Man'er went to the private school to find Liu Fusheng again, Liu Fusheng was also very happy to see her, Liu Man'er asked him to study hard and not worry about things at home, and then went to the academy in the county seat.

It's been almost a month since Ye Feng took the Xiucai exam, and I don't know if he was admitted, during this time, martial law was everywhere in the city, and just now she entered the city, there were a lot more people checking it.

The gatekeeper of the same academy explained his intention, and soon the gatekeeper went to inform Ye Feng instead of Liu Man'er.

Ye Feng saw Liu Man'er running over with some gaffe, glanced Liu Man'er up and down, and then asked with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, are you okay at home?" ”

"It's fine." Liu Man'er briefly told Ye Feng about this: "Thanks to the fact that I came to see you off that day, I found some clues on the road, and went back to the village to inform the villagers, so I escaped a catastrophe." ”

"That's good, that's good." Ye Feng nodded and wiped a handful of tears, during this time, he was also very worried in the academy.

Liu Man'er took him to the gazebo on the side and sat down, and said, "Don't worry, with my sister-in-law here, there will be nothing wrong at home." I'm here this time to tell you that there is nothing going on at home, so that you can rest assured, and have you been admitted to Xiucai this time? ”

Ye Feng nodded and said, "I was admitted, I was admitted to the school." ”

"Good, good!" Liu Man'er's face was rarely revealed, she reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You are really winning glory for the family, I have to go home and tell my mother the news, and when the horse bandits are driven away, my sister-in-law will make you wine." ”

"Well, sister-in-law, can I go back with you today?" Ye Feng looked at Liu Man'er with some pleading.

"Don't, it's not safe at home after all, I want to take my mother and them to live in the county." Liu Man'er said: "You study hard in the county, and your sister-in-law will take care of your family's affairs, and nothing will happen." ”

"But ......" Ye Feng was still a little relieved.

"Don't be, if you go home, my mother should blame me, this time I came out, my mother herself didn't want to, I just came here to make you feel at ease."

Saying that, Liu Man'er stood up and said, "Hey, I won't tell you more, I'll go to the county seat to buy some candied fruit, and I'll have to go back early, it's too late and it's not safe." ”

"Yes." Ye Feng stood up, saluted Liu Man'er, and said, "Then I will ask my sister-in-law to take care of it." ”

"You're welcome, it's all family." Liu Man'er waved at him and left the academy.

When she came to the county seat, she naturally inevitably went to visit Steward Wu, presumably he also knew the news, so she came over to report her safety, and they were worried about the province.

After that, I bought some food in the county town and went back early.

When she went back this big night, she was really worried, after all, so many people had died along the way, it was scary to think about.

When she came back this time, Liu Man'er didn't forget the carriage she put in the woods last time, and went to the woods, but she didn't expect her carriage to stop there well, and the things inside were not lost, so she pulled them back.

Before dusk, she arrived home early, and when Fang Shi saw her come back, he finally put his mind at ease, took out the things she had put in the car and gave them to the children to eat, and told Fang Shi that Ye Feng had been admitted to the school, and Fang Shi finally had a smile on his face.

If it were in normal times, this good news would be enough to make people happy, but now, it can only barely shake off a little haze in everyone's hearts.

During this time, Liu Man'er had been sleeping in the same room with Fang's family, Ye Tianchen and others, firstly, she was a little scared, and on the other hand, it was easier to deal with something.

Cao'er lives with Ye He and Yun Niang, and they also sleep downstairs, while Aunt Han's family still sleeps in the wing, but everyone lives very close, and if there is something, they will hear it when they scream.

She was afraid that if she heard the voice, she would not have time to react, but fortunately, she had two dogs at home and let them watch the door, which was finally a little more secure, at least if something happened, people could run in time.

Coming back from the county town tonight, Liu Man'er also felt a little tired, and fell asleep at night, together with the Fang family, the two of them finally slept more peacefully, but as soon as she fell asleep, she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and woke up suddenly.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and when she listened closely, the sound of horses' hooves was a little chaotic, as if there were several horses, and she was so frightened that she suddenly got up from the bed.
