Qiao Xiaojing, Lao Zhou, and Boss Wu came to the north of the town, and as soon as they arrived on the road, they stopped talking chaotically, which showed that there were really a lot of fellow villagers waiting on the road.

"Or," Qiao Xiaojing's pace became slower and slower since she heard the voice, and finally said what she thought, "Forget it, let's not go into the town now, the villagers gather together and wait for us to come back and thank us, I can't stand this kind of scene, I don't think everyone can stand it." Let's go into town again at night, okay?"

Boss Wu and Lao Zhou, who were riding on the horse, were stunned for a moment, stopped their horses, glanced at Qiao Xiaojing, who was a little embarrassed, and looked at Jade Dazhi and them back and forth, and they didn't know if they didn't know what to say, or if they felt that it was inappropriate to speak at the moment, anyway, they just rode on the horse silently and didn't say anything.

"Is it okay for me to decide like this?" Qiao Xiaojing saw that everyone didn't speak, so she said seriously, "This is not an order, it's a discussion, I fully solicit everyone's opinions, let's democratically decide, if most people think that we should move on, we should go and meet the villagers, then let's continue, if the majority of people don't approve of this, then let's go into the town at night." Everybody talk, don't all stare at me, tell me what you really think. ”

"Can you say anything?" Ah Zi was worried about attracting criticism.

"I said it," Qiao Xiaojing nodded, "I can say anything, democratic resolution, I want to hear everyone's true thoughts." Of course, don't talk nonsense, let alone swear. Ah Zi, if you have anything to say, don't worry. ”

"I," Ah Zigang said a word, his face changed greatly, and he was still scared, and said intermittently, "I, I just want to take a look at that formation, I've heard others say it, I've never seen it with my own eyes!"

"Are you going to the temple fair?" Qiao Xiaojing looked at Ah Zi's face.

The others laughed, first laughing at Ah Zi's little woman's appearance, and of course laughing at Qiao Xiaojing's cold humor.

"Then," Zi said tentatively, "then you said could you go, is this really my real idea?"

"Look at the excitement!" Qiao Xiaojing glanced at Ah Zi, and then turned her gaze to the others, of course, including Boss Wu, Lao Zhou, and Cuiyu on horseback, and asked everyone, "Do you still have opinions similar to Ah Zi?"

"Since everyone doesn't want to join in the fun," Qiao Xiaojing threw out her words, and after a few seconds, no one spoke, so she decided that no one was involved in this matter except Ah Zi, so she said, "Then we won't enter the town first, and wait until the evening ......."

"Team Leader Qiao," Qiao Xiaojing was talking, but was interrupted by Comrade Lao Zhou, he said, "Aren't you talking about democratic resolutions, I want to say something, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Of course, everyone in the room can speak, and everyone's opinion ultimately determines where we go. ”

"Well," said Lao Zhou, "then I'll say a few words." Now that we have seen the people of the town come together, and we all know what these townsmen want to do, we should go and meet these simple and kind townspeople, so that at least their wishes can be fulfilled, and they will not always think about thanking you. If they stay in hiding and enter the town in the middle of the night, they may have already gone home, but who can guarantee that they will not gather again?"

"This is a good thing, how can you ......" that Boss Wu felt that Lao Zhou's words were not unreasonable, the villagers were simple, and they decided that one thing could be changed, if they didn't accept their thanks today, maybe they would gather every day, which was likely to seriously affect the simple feelings of the villagers, so he opened his mouth.

"I," Qiao Xiaojing looked embarrassed, took two steps closer to Boss Wu, and whispered, "I, I know." Maybe the villagers think that we have done a great thing for them, so we should accept the cheers, applause and applause of the villagers...... But I don't think we've done enough, at least not done something that so many people praise. ”

"This is the loveliness of the fellows," Boss Wu sighed, "maybe we only did what we did, only did small things, but in the eyes of the fellows, no matter how big or small things were, they thought that it was done for them, they would be grateful to us, they would applaud us, and they would thank them in the most sincere way." As you can see, the fellows have already gathered, and I don't know how long they have been waiting there, so I think that we may not be able to dodge. ”

"So you mean, we're going to meet the fellows?"

"I do think so, of course, it's just my personal opinion, it's up to you to decide whether it's right or not. As for whether you want to meet the fellows who have been waiting for a long time, it is up to you to decide. ”

"This ......" Qiao Xiaojing fell into contemplation, everyone present looked at Qiao Xiaojing, Dazhi and the big man who walked at the front of the team were arguing in a whisper, but what they were arguing about was what happened after seeing the common people, it was obvious that they were still advocating going to the villagers. The voices of the villagers not far away were sometimes loud and sometimes small, drifting with the wind, pouring into everyone's ears, and Qiao Xiaojing naturally heard it.

"I thought about it carefully," Qiao Xiaojing finally figured it out, she took a deep breath and said to the big guy, "I think what Boss Wu and Boss Zhou said is very reasonable, since the fellow villagers have gathered and have been waiting on the road for a long time, if we deliberately avoid it, it is not appropriate." Not only is it inappropriate, but it is also very likely to hurt the purest feelings of the fellows because of my own immature ideas. That being the case, let us go now and meet the most sincere people. ”

This was perhaps what the people present wanted to hear the most, and they were all very happy and began to move forward again.

"I also want to remind everyone," after walking a few steps, Qiao Xiaojing suddenly said again, "You must be humble when you see fellow villagers, you must not pretend to be a hero, and you can't take things from fellow villagers." Don't be long-winded, you all know that during this time, the villagers here lived very miserably under the persecution of bandits, and it was not easy to survive to this day, we must not put on a show in front of the villagers, play official, be modest, polite, and enthusiastic......"

"Got it!" Cui Yu said with a smile, "I said Team Leader Qiao, what's wrong with you today? It seems that there are a lot of words, a lot of thoughts, and a lot of concerns, not at all like the resolute heroine on weekdays." ”

"You're still making fun of me. Qiao Xiaojing glanced at Cuiyu, and said lightly, "You don't know about me, I'm not afraid of the rain of bullets, I'm not afraid of the ruffians, I'm afraid of the villagers, I'm afraid of seeing the villagers cry because of the little things we did, I'm afraid to see them rather their own families go hungry and give us the only food at home......"

"Team Leader Qiao, Team Leader Qiao......" The big man ran back and said to Qiao Xiaojing, "Dazhi asked me to ask for instructions, what about those things, the things on the three horses?"

"What to do?" Qiao Xiaojing glanced ahead, then stared at the big one.

"Now," said the big man, timidly, "everything is in short supply, and things of value are even more scarce, and we will go over like this, and the townsfolk will be glad to see us, and they may be even more happy to see the big and small bulging bags on the three horses, and what shall we do, if any of them have other thoughts?"

"You mean," Qiao Xiaojing frowned, "it's possible that fellow villagers will have bad intentions and snatch things from us?"

"Hmm. The big man nodded.

Qiao Xiaojing muttered to herself, and said to the big man, "You think too much, you won't be fine, let's go!" Remember, bring a word to Dazhi, you must not show that kind of emotion in front of your fellow countrymen, you also know how sad it is to be suspected by others!"

Boss Wu's mouth was half open, as if he had something to say, and Lao Zhou, who was beside him, raised his hand, as if he also wanted Dazhi to wait, and there were important things to explain, but the big man turned around and ran towards Dazhi quickly, and there was no chance for these two old comrades to speak. The two shook their heads in unison, and a hint of unhappiness appeared on their faces.

Qiao Xiaojing and the others quickly turned into the avenue, which was the road that the villagers had been waiting for.

"Look, they're coming!"

"The heroes are back!"

"Great, great......"

"It's finally time for them!"

When the villagers saw Qiao Xiaojing, they were like seeing relatives who had been away from home for too long, and they were all emotional, cheering, shouting, and rushing towards them.

Boss Wu and Lao Zhou got off the horseback, followed Qiao Xiaojing and walked towards the villagers, smiling and waving their hands to the villagers.

"You are the saviors of our town," said an elderly man among the townspeople, after some pleasantries, "and if it weren't for you, those bandits would not have known how long they would have gone on a rampage, nor how long would we have had to endure the unbearable days, and how many of us would have suffered?"

"You guys are too polite, it's what we should do to suppress bandits. Qiao Xiaojing grabbed the old man's hand and said with a smile.

"What should not be done?" said the old man, "you are all outsiders, and you probably don't even have any friends in this town, and when you encounter this kind of thing, most people will avoid it, and you will all leave, and you can also walk away, and we will not blame you, and of course we are not qualified to blame you!

"Yes, yes......" The villagers all thought that the old man's words were very true, and they echoed them.

"The fellows are too polite, really too polite, we are originally the people's soldiers, and it is normal to do something for the people. Qiao Xiaojing's words were very sincere.

"Actually," the old man continued, "we are so grateful to you, and would love to show our affection for something, but as you have seen, everything of little value has been taken away by the bandits." There is no way, in order to thank you for your great kindness, we people have nothing to repay, and we have knelt down and kowtowed to you. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and before Qiao Xiaojing could help him up, the villagers knelt on the ground in large numbers, everyone kowtowed, and muttered words of gratitude in their mouths......
