Chapter 117: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

"Sister Chun Tao, what's going on?" September rubbed her eyes in a daze, Chun Tao handed her her coat, and took October's clothes to help her put them on.

"There are robbers from the village, and now they are in my house."

"In... In your home? "October was scared to sober up by Chun Tao's words." That..."

The two children wanted to ask again, but they were stopped by Chun Tao. "Don't ask, get dressed and hide."

"Good!" The two children suddenly became panicked, and they couldn't put on their sleeves for half a day in September, and the sweat came out.

Seeing this, Chun Tao temporarily let go of October and put her arm into her sleeve. At this moment, the door was pushed open. "Sister, Sister Chun Tao? What are you doing here? "It's the moon of La.

"Hurry up and get dressed!" Chun Tao turned her head and saw that Layue was trembling at the door in a single dress.

"Is something wrong? You're coming so late? Chun Tao quickly helped October get dressed, picked up Layue, who hadn't woken up, and walked out.

"You go and hide, I'll help Layue get dressed."

"Sister Chun Tao, what's wrong?" Layue didn't expect Chun Tao to suddenly pick him up, and was frightened by her nervous appearance.

"The robbers are coming."

"Robbers?" Walking into the courtyard, Chun Tao heard the noisy voices, gongs, and cries in the village, and Layue opened her mouth and didn't react.

"Hurry up! Wear! Chun Tao hurriedly helped Layue get dressed, and as soon as she went out, she saw September and October standing stupidly in the yard.

"What are you standing for? Didn't I tell you to hide? ”

"No... I don't know where to hide. Chun Tao scolded loudly, and several children had never seen it, so they were scared.

"Go up the hill." Chun Tao looked around the yard, the only thing that was certain was that the house was the most unsafe, and when she saw the crowd running in one direction outside, she dragged the children and ran out.

"Hmmm! East... Stuff! September ran to the door with Chun Tao and wanted to turn back.

"Don't." The voices in the village are getting more and more chaotic, the cries of children, the cries of women, and the insults of men make Chun Tao more and more flustered, she has not experienced this, she can only pretend to be calm with a cold face.

Chun Tao dragged the three children and couldn't run fast, there were crowds of people everywhere outside the door, Chun Tao asked them to lead, don't fall.

"What about the second sister?" Halfway through the run, September remembered March when I went out.

Yes! March, she should be fine! "She'll be fine, let's hide first." Chun Tao shook her head and shook off her worries.

The four of them stumbled to the mountain, and saw Chun Tao's brother and sister-in-law at first sight.

As soon as Zhao Yang saw Chun Tao, he pounced on her, but fortunately, Chun Tao reacted quickly and dodged.

"It's all you, it's all your broom star, if it weren't for your gang of robbers, how could they come to our house, it's all your broom star. Why don't you die! Don't die yet! Die! ”

Chun Tao twisted her eyebrows and ignored this suddenly nervous woman, but it doesn't mean that others ignore it. Layue heard someone scolding Chun Tao, so she didn't care who she was, and immediately opened her mouth to fight back.

"Old woman, who do you say is the broom star? White-eyed wolf, if Sister Chun Tao hadn't informed my second sister, would you have known that there were robbers coming? ”

"I don't know? I'm telling you, I called them. There's no need for her to pretend to be a good person here. Zhao Yang was scolded by a child pointing at his nose, and he was so angry that he told the truth.

Zhao Yang covered his mouth, but it was too late. The villagers on the hill had already heard, "What did you say? Zhao Yang's? You found those bandits? ”

Stupid woman, with a low IQ, still wants to harm people. Chun Tao glanced at it disdainfully and grabbed the fried Layue. "Alright, come and sit down."

For the current situation, Layue can sentence Zhao Yang to death without adding fuel to the fire.

"Zhao Yang, what do you mean by what you just said? You recruited those robbers? A short-tempered woman in the village had already grabbed Zhao Yang's hair, and the two were scuffling together.

"What does it have to do with you? Why did the old lady tell you? "Zhao Yang did something wrong, but he was right.

"Let go of my mother!" Seeing that his mother was being bullied, the dog immediately pounced, hugged the woman's feet, scratched and bitten.

"Little bunny, get out of here." The woman had the upper hand, and the other women in the village who were dissatisfied with Zhao Yang's also stepped forward to help hold the dog and scuffle with Zhao Yang's.

Zhao Qiusheng saw that his daughter-in-law and son were being bullied, and wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by other men in the village.

"Qiusheng, it's best not to meddle in the affairs of women. Let me ask you, what did your woman just say? The man who asked seemed to have something to do with Zhao Qiusheng, but Chun Tao didn't remember.

"It's... I really don't know. Zhao Qiusheng looked at his woman at a loss, and suddenly looked at Chun Tao again.

Chun Tao was watching the fire from the other side, sitting and watching the wind and clouds in the field, suddenly accepted Zhao Qiusheng's gaze, glanced at him coldly, and lowered his head to help October gather his coat.

"Maybe it is... It's her. Zhao Qiusheng and the man who asked him both saw Chun Tao's indifferent eyes, one sad and the other disdainful.

A woman in the village who did not participate in the dispute between women and children intervened at this moment. "Nonsense? I don't see it, you see those torches, they all came down from the mountains in the east, isn't the Zhou family also in that direction? Nine times out of ten, I think it's true. ”

Not many people knew about the Zhou family's move at first, but as time went on, the Zhou family did not deliberately hide it, and gradually everyone in the village knew about it, and many people were a little red-eyed, and Zhao Yang was probably one of them.

"That's right! Zhao Yang hated your sister so much, he must have wanted to harm your sister-in-law, and it ended up in the village. Several men on the side also began to express their opinions, in short, they firmly believed that the arrival of the robbers was related to Zhao Yang's family.

"That's right, before Chun Tao got married, she tortured her as a sister-in-law. This Chun Tao suddenly lived in a big house, and she must be jealous. ”

"It's not... She... She wouldn't do that. Zhao Qiusheng's helpless explanation was useless at all.

The people in the village listened to the words of a few men, and directly regarded Zhao Yang's gang of robbers as a gang.

"Since you know the bandits, go and get them away." The people in the village surrounded Zhao Yang's group, and their fierce appearance suppressed Zhao Yang's arrogance.

Zhao Qiusheng saw that the situation was not good, and squeezed into the crowd to protect Zhao Yang's behind. "Uncles, spare her! She... She's pregnant, let her go! ”

"That's right! I am pregnant with the descendants of your Zhao family. The arrogance that Zhao Yang had just extinguished suddenly rose again, and the eyes of Chun Tao, who was watching the play, became more and more gloomy.

"Leave her alone? So who will pay for the things we lose in our home? What to do with the spoiled grain? ”

"Say! Say! ”

"That's right! Say! ”

"Since you know the bandits, hurry up and persuade them to leave, and stop harming our village."

Chun Tao looked around, but never found March, pulling the moon. "You go find your second sister."

"Hmm!" Layue got up and was about to go looking for someone, but as soon as she got up, she saw March. "March?"

A few children immediately surrounded March, chattering about the culture. Chun Tao grabbed March's hand and looked left and right. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, it's just that a few families near the east haven't had time to inform, I don't know what happened." March frowned, worried.

"Anyway..."Before Chun Tao finished speaking, he was squeezed out by the villagers who swarmed up, and even they were squeezed out with September.

"March, thanks to you, if you hadn't notified everyone in time, we don't know what would have happened!"

"Yes! Thankfully, you found out in time and didn't forget to let us know. ”

The villagers surrounded March and said words of gratitude, but March did not take the credit for himself, and kept saying that it was the credit of the village chief and Chun Tao.

"They're burning down the village, damn it! Yes! Oh my! How can this live! A woman who tore apart with Zhao Yang's saw the fire in the village from a distance, sat on the ground crying, and pointed at Zhao Yang's and scolded her for a while and scolded the group of robbers.

As soon as she began, the women and children on the top of the mountain began to cry. October was also humming in March's arms, and the men pointed in the direction of the village, incessantly cursing.

is so loud, and he is not afraid to attract people. The village chief still has the common sense of escape, and he was scolded by the village chief just now when someone wanted to light a fire, but now, I guess I feel sorry for my house and forget about it!

I don't know what's going on at home. "It's raining." A drop of water fell on Chun Tao's forehead, and gradually more and more water droplets fell on Chun Tao's face and hands.

"Now it's saved, our house is saved, it's saved." The villagers have found hope again.

Strange, why is there no fire in the east? Chun Tao looked in the direction of her house and did not see the expected scene.

"Let's go!" The people on the mountain looked nervously at the bottom of the mountain, and although there was no fire, they could not see anything.

"March, will they kill people?" Chun Tao's voice was not loud, but the strange thing was that the mountain was so quiet when she said this that everyone heard it and turned to stare at them.

"She's... Just ask. Chun Tao was stared at by so many eyes that couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger, and hid behind March in fear.

"Killed." At this time, the village chief spoke, "I have heard before that several rich villages in the vicinity have been looted by these people. Not only do they rob things, but they also burn down the house, and kill people who refuse to pay when they meet them. Ay! ”

The village chief sighed heavily, and a man's voice came from the crowd. "Then why didn't you tell us before? Let's be prepared? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! If you had said it earlier, it wouldn't have been like this! Everyone agreed, and the spearhead was suddenly pointed at the village chief.

The village chief seemed to be a little flustered, turned his back to his back, straightened his waist and said, "Our village has never been rich, and those robbers will never come here again, who knows that there is a troublemaker in the village." ”

The village chief redirected the war to Zhao Yang's family, and although the village chief was telling the truth, March was disappointed by the disaster and humanity of the village chief.

When the villagers besieged Zhao Yang's family, the village chief stood aside and watched coldly, without the idea of organizing the villagers to save the village.

"I didn't expect the village chief to be like this, if my father was here, he definitely wouldn't..."

Chun Tao tugged on March's sleeve and didn't let her continue.
