Chapter 123: Save the child, kill the mountain bandits!
The village chief looked at all the villagers, exhaled a long breath, and said in a loud voice, "This time when you go out, there will definitely be a time of desperateness, and if you want to go with you, you must have thought about it." If you don't want to go if you're afraid of death, then no one will blame you, but as long as you go, you have to listen to orders, and when the time comes, you don't dare to wield a knife and hurt your brother, don't blame everyone for looking down on you! ”
A bachelor stepped forward and shouted, "Village chief, count me in, I'll be my brother, and I'm not afraid of dragging others down when I die." I watched the dog leftovers grow up, these mountain bandits are too lacking in morality, and they can't move anything to move our children! ”
"Yes, you can't move the child! These people must die, count me in! I've killed all the wild wolves, are there still a few mountain bandits? Let's eliminate harm for the people! ”
"Yes, for the people!"
"Lao Tzu will also brag when he goes out in the future, killing wolves and mountain bandits, who is more powerful than Lao Tzu!"
I have to say that on the way into the mountain, the young and strong people in the village have been tempered by hardships and hardships to become more fierce, and they are no longer honest and cowardly.
In the blink of an eye, all the young men stood up, and no one was afraid of death and retreated.
The village chief and Uncle Zhao and others were extremely pleased, and Aunt Wu and Uncle Wu were even crying and kowtowing.
"Let's kowtow to everyone, woo, thank you for saving the dog. Wait for the dog to grow up, and let the dog be left for everyone to care for. ”
The bachelor man pulled up the two mouthfuls, and replied indifferently, "It's all my own children, how can I not save them." When the dog grows up, just buy us a few more jars of wine to drink. ”
The village chief discussed a few words with Uncle Zhao and Li Laosi and Liu Dart, and began to assign tasks.
Prepare sacks stuffed with hay and pretend to be grain.
But it is better to have the money in earnest, and if the bandits want to see it, they can delay it for a while.
All of them brought knives and bows and arrows, and wore thicker clothes, and brought three days' dry food.
Each family rummaged through all the white clothes or cloth sheets, distributed them, and helped everyone hide their tracks...
One order after another was passed down, and the entire camp and various caves were busy.
There was a piece of ivory-white material in the Li family's package, and there were more than a dozen sorghum flour cakes to be eaten at noon, all of which were taken by Tao Hongying.
Mrs. Li was ruthless, and after packing all the money in the house, she was about to go down to the hole.
Jia Yin jumped to his feet anxiously, "Milk, take me, take me!" ”
Mrs. Li thought that her granddaughter was reluctant to give up the silver, so Ma Li put her granddaughter on her back and persuaded her while going down the rattan ladder.
"Fu Niu, let's not feel sorry for the silver, as long as the person is good, there will always be a chance to earn it back in the future. But the dog is only eight years old, and he must be rescued, otherwise his father and mother will not survive. ”
In fact, the old lady was also distressed, all the foundation in the family was the hard-earned money of her son and daughter-in-law, so she took it out like this, as if she had dug her heart.
But in order to save people, you can't be stingy at this time.
As she thought, the men poured hay into their bags, and the women took out their money and put it on the table.
There were broken silver, copper coins, and the second sister-in-law of Sun even sent the five taels of silver coins given by Mr. Wen before.
Of course, the most is still the Li family, with more than 100 taels of silver.
Aunt Wu San couldn't cry anymore, this is the foundation of each family, and at this time she took it out for her son.
Mr. Wen also sent more than 20 taels of silver, "We only have this silver on us, I hope it can help." Speaking of which, those bandits may have been found after us, and we have caused a lot of trouble. ”
The village chief hurriedly waved his hand, "Mr. Wen, don't say that, these mountain bandits are too close to us, even if they didn't follow you yesterday, they will always come in the future." I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, but everyone is still defenseless, I don't blame you. ”
The villagers all nodded, regretting that they had been wary before.
But regret is useless, I can only try to make up for it.
Li Laosi and Liu Dart led the team, and the two took bags of silver, and instructed everyone to check the firewood knives, bows and arrows, dry food and fire folds, and then they were about to set off immediately.
At this time, Doctor Zhang came over, followed by Sister-in-law Qiong.
Doctor Zhang took out a small medicine bottle, "Here are some poisons that I keep for self-defense, after you pass, if you can find an opportunity, pour it into the water, keep those mountain bandits to drink, and you will die completely in half an hour." ”
Everyone gasped, subconsciously thinking about whether they had offended this old man on weekdays.
Medicine and poison are not separated, who really upsets the old man, and I don't know if he died...
Doctor Zhang saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, raised his chin proudly, and snorted arrogantly.
Sister-in-law Qiong, who was on the side, took the medicine bottle, stuffed it into her arms, and said, "I will work lightly, and Madame told me to go with you to save people." ”
Li Laosi and Liu Darttou did not refuse, poison and masters joined, and they were more sure of this trip.
Jia Yin lay on her grandmother's back and whispered, "Daddy, Daddy!" ”
When Li Laosi heard this, he stepped forward and pulled his hat for his daughter, "Don't worry, Dad will be back soon!" ”
Jiayin begged, "Dad, take me, I'll go with you!" ”
"No," Li Laosi glared rarely, "You are at home with grandma, and your father is there to save people, so he can't be distracted to take care of you." ”
Jiayin actually knows that she may not be able to help when she goes, but at this time, her father and the villagers want to work hard, and she wants to follow!
What if, what if it helps...
It's a pity that Li Laosi has already turned his head and shouted at everyone to leave.
"Go, save the children, kill the bandits!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Everyone waved the snowy wood knife in their hands and plunged into the forest!
The village chief was worried that the mountain bandits would move away from the mountain, leaving seven or eight people behind.
Therefore, including Uncle Wu, there are a total of twenty young people in the village, plus a sister-in-law Qiong.
Seeing that they were gone, the village chief took a deep breath and commanded the people left behind.
"Hurry up and fetch water and firewood, and then go into the cave, no one is allowed to come down until they come back! The entrance of each cave can't leave people, and it's guarded for me day and night, do you understand? ”
"Got it!" The old man, the woman, and the children all responded, and then they were busy.
Carry water, carry firewood, and prepare to take advantage of the wooden stick and sickle to put in the hole.
The pyre, which was previously thought to be convenient for firewood, has now become a hidden danger that can easily climb into the hole, and the women have pushed the pyre down even after pulling and picking.
Sister-in-law Qiong followed the team to save people, and only the sick and weak Mrs. Cui was left on the side of the small cave.
Mrs. Li didn't wait for Mr. Wen to speak, so she called Tao Hongying to help.
Jiayin couldn't save people with his father, so he didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he simply dragged his eldest brother to the small cave together.
Sure enough, Mr. Wen was not at ease, and with the Li family as his companion, there was no need to avoid suspicion, so he took Wen Hai and stayed in the small cave.
It's been a mess all morning, it's already noon, Tao Hongying was worried about Li Laosi and the others, and she couldn't eat, but she didn't forget to cook a sick meal for Mrs. Cui.
Jiaren sat at the mouth of the stove, helping to light the fire while practicing left-handed characters on the stone slab.
Sure enough, Mr. Wen quickly noticed, sat aside and looked at it for a long time, and asked, "How do you practice left-handed characters?" ”
"Back to Mr. Hui's words, because my right hand is inconvenient." Jiaren replied respectfully, and then stretched out his right hand hidden in his sleeve.
Doctor Zhang's medical skills are undoubted, although Jiaren's right hand is missing two fingers and a palm, it is recovering well, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see much abnormality.
Even the remaining three fingers can still move, but they are not as flexible as before.
Tao Hongying felt sorry for her nephew and wanted to leave a good impression on Mr. Wen, so she said a few words to help.
"We met wolves in the woods earlier, and this boy blocked the wolves' mouths with his hands in order to save his brother. This kid likes to read and is smart, if he doesn't run away, it's time to take the child's exam. ”
Mr. Wen nodded, and then looked at Jiaren with a little appreciation and pity in his eyes, and said gently, "The left-handed character does not delay the scientific examination, I have also practiced for a few years, and I can teach you some skills." ”
Jia Yin, who was squatting on the side, finally grinned...
Not to mention how anxiously everyone in the mountain stream waited, only that Li Laosi and others went all the way to the northeast over the mountains and mountains, and when they were halfway there, they actually found the footprints left by the mountain bandits, a total of two lines.
