After Chen Siyuan and Wang Xiaoquan left, Xu Yongnian came to Xu's house.

"Changzhong County is a county that we didn't like to pass through the most when we used to walk darts, the county officials here did not act, and the people were often oppressed during the Taiping period, but this is a place where we must pass, there are often bandits, and these bandits have robbed houses all the year round, and they have a lot of lives on their hands."

Chen Sihuai pointed to the map brought by Zhao Jin and said to them, and Wang Er also spoke:

"I used to go out with my companions to sell goods and avoid Changzhong County, this place is not very peaceful, the mountain roads are rugged, and I have indeed heard that there are bandits in this place, I am afraid that these bandits will be more rampant in disaster years, if we meet this gang of bandits on the road, how can it be good"

After listening to Chen Sihuai and Wang Er's words, Xu Wen pondered for a while and glanced at Xu Yunqing and Xu Yunjin

"Grandpa Chen, how long will it take for us to leave tomorrow to enter the bandit-infested realm?"

Xu Yunqing asked Chen Sihuai first, because he felt that Chen Sihuai's tone was wrong when he talked about bandits and county orders just now, but he was smart enough not to ask much.

"It will take about two and a half days, Changzhong County is bigger than Dafang County"

"In that case, then let's set off tomorrow and walk all the way here, find a hidden place to rest here, and then trouble Uncle Zhao's guards to touch the uncles in the village to see the situation on the road ahead."

Xu Yunqing pointed to a place, about 20 kilometers away from the first bandit's den, and then said to them.

Xu Wen nodded, obviously agreeing with him

"Okay, this place happens to have a mountain forest, the concealment is okay, we can camp here, far away from the bandits' den,"

Chen Sihuai obviously knew this road very well, and he didn't know if he had passed through the darts before, and after agreeing on the plan, they left the Xu family.

Xu Yunjin called all her family members to surround her, and took out a few packets of medicinal powder from her pocket, which made her a little worried about the safety of her family during the day today.

"This is the drug I bought on the farm, each of you keeps it safe, if we encounter any danger on the road, we will scatter them, and then run quickly, I added some chili powder to it, it will make them unable to open their eyes, uncle, you will hand these over to your people tomorrow"

There are chili peppers in this world, but they are only grown in large quantities in the southwest, and the northern regions are dry and easy to get hot when eaten spicy, so no one grows them and they do not sell them.

Xu Yunjin, who is fond of spicy food, has not eaten spicy dishes for several years, and he only occasionally throws some dogwood into the dishes when cooking at home.

The Xu family took the medicine powder and put it in their purses seriously, and the purses that Xu Yunmeng practiced when he was resting recently were hung on the Xu family's bodies.

"Daddy, Uncle Zhao's guards will definitely be the most powerful at that time, you take these hemostatic medicines, medicine powder and these two knives to Uncle Zhao, and let him distribute them to those guards."

Xu Yunjin assigned his father a task again, this matter is the most suitable for Xu Wen to do, Xu Yunjin can see that Zhao Jin has an inexplicable trust in his father, and he doesn't need to explain the source of these things to him, if it weren't for the fact that he and the Xu family have a good relationship, she would have ...... Confused.

After distributing the medicine powder to them, Xu Yunjin thought about it, and still bought two daggers from the farm and handed them to Xu Yunqing and Xu Yunnan, the reason why she didn't want to give them two knives before was that she didn't want them to see blood on their hands at a young age, but the next road was not easy to walk, and they had to learn to grow up, so they still gave each of them a dagger.

The people of Dazhai Village have been following them not far and not close before, although they can't get rid of it, but they have always been very peaceful.

Two days later, they were still 30 kilometers away from the bandits' den, but everyone froze and looked at the miserable scene in front of them.

Because, there are corpses all over the ground, I don't know how many days have passed, the corpses have begun to decompose, there is a stench in the air, there are overturned carts everywhere, and some broken sacks are thrown on the ground.

There were no bodies of children and women on the ground, so it can be seen that they were all taken away by the bandits, and it was understandable that the women were taken away, and the children who were not fed were taken away, so ...... Thinking of a possibility, everyone's faces were ugly.

"Wow Wow Wow ......"

Seeing the dead people all over the ground, many children were afraid to open their mouths and want to cry, and they were immediately covered by the adults next to them, but this place is very close to the bandits, what if they are heard.

"Let's go, let's go to the woods ahead first, the people here don't know how long they've been dead, it's too dangerous"

Looking at the stunned villagers, Xu Yunjin scolded them to come back to their senses, told the villagers not to touch the people on the ground, and sped up and walked forward for more than half an hour before arriving at the woods.

"Vomit"

Xu Yunmeng leaned on Li's shoulder, and when she just passed by, she wanted to vomit, and she endured it until now, and after stopping, she couldn't stand it anymore, and vomited out all the things in her stomach.

The faces of other people are not very good-looking, although Xu Yunjin is calm on the surface, but she is still frightened by this scene in her heart, this kind of thing, she has thought about it all the way, she may be starved to death, she may be exhausted.

But it was not a natural disaster and war that took his life, but was killed by his own people, Xu Yunjin's heart was constantly churning at the moment, and something seemed to rush out in his heart.

At night, a few figures came out of the Xu family's camp, quietly went to the Zhao family's team from the Xu family, led the two horses given by the Zhao family, and quietly walked out of the station.

After walking for maybe two miles, Xu Wucai took Xu Yunnan, Xu Wen also took Xu Yunjin on horseback and ran to the place where the body was found in the daytime, the two brothers of the Xu family can ride horses.

Hundreds of corpses were placed there, the weather was so big, Xu Yunjin was a little worried, so he discussed with the Xu family after dinner, and wanted to bury them, but the Xu family had no opinion, and the four of them set off in the middle of the night.

Several people stopped not far from the corpse, Xu Yunjin bought a few protective clothing, protective covers, masks and gloves, took out two hoes and shovels, and the four of them dug the pit with a hum.

Half an hour later, two rows of large pits were dug up, and the four of them moved all the corpses into the pit, and it took two quarters of an hour for the pit to be filled with corpses.

"Dad, big uncle, you splash quicklime water on the places where the corpses were just released, and splash a little nearby"

Quicklime mixed with water becomes hydrated lime water, which has a certain disinfection effect.

She originally wanted to buy gasoline and burn it here, but Xiao Yi said that the smoke would be found by the bandits, and that someone would definitely come to check it when the time came, it was too dangerous, so she changed it to lime water.

After a while, Xu Yunjin looked at the two rows of grave bags on the side of the road that were slightly above the ground, took a step back and bowed, this was the only thing she could do for them.

Xu Wen and the others also bowed with Xu Yunjin, Xu Yunjin put one hundred and twenty-three wooden cards in front of the earthen pit on the farm, they just counted it, a total of one hundred and twenty-three, so it looked like a tomb, and the four of them rode back to the camp after they were busy.
