Chapter 18 Repaying grievances with virtue and spreading benevolence and righteousness to rebuild the homeland on a large scale

The person who came was Du Yunling, the sworn brother of the bandit leader Mu Xiaofei, who saw the scene in the courtyard, and understood seven or eight points in his heart, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, pulled Mu Xiaofei up and said: "Big brother, go quickly!" Come on! ”

Mu Xiaofei was willing to go, but he just hugged Ye Tong and cried bitterly.

"Big brother, people can't be resurrected after death, go quickly! Come on! It's not too late for us to take revenge in the future! Du Yunling desperately pulled up Mu Xiaofeidao.

Mu Xiaofei stopped crying, gently put Ye Tong down, and took off his coat to cover Ye Tong's face.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the two looked out along the courtyard gate, but saw that the bandits were still killing each other for no reason, and most of them were killed and wounded.

Suddenly, I heard another shout of killing, but it was the self-defense team members of Xiaoshi Village who seemed to fall from the sky, killing everywhere, although the two of them did not know why, they only knew that they must have fallen into a treacherous plan.

Mu Xiaofei wiped a handful of tears and turned around to look for his mount, but he couldn't find it.

Du Yunling said anxiously: "Get on the horse, it's too late!" ”。 Mu Xiaofei didn't think much about it, turned over with his knife and jumped onto Du Yunling's mount, and the two rode together, working together to open a bloody road, and fled to the outside of the village.

There is no need to think about it, so that the bandits are like demons, fighting and killing each other, of course, because of the large number of flowers and incense that can make people hallucinate are placed around.

As the sky dawned, the battle finally ended, and the Self-Defense Forces captured countless horses and weapons.

These poisonous flowers were also collected by everyone, put into sacks and transported to the Xishan grove for burial.

Out of benevolence, Wen Yinan ordered that the injured be treated and recuperated, and the dead were buried in the Xishan grove. In addition, the Self-Defense Forces did not pursue the surrendered and captured bandits, and they were all dismissed after the payment of travel expenses.

Some bandits themselves were forced by the world to embark on the road of banditry because of their bitterness and hatred. Today, thanks to the grace of not killing, I am full of remorse, crying bitterly, and I have expressed that I will change my evil and return to the right and be a new person.

There are also some people who have no one at home and have nowhere to go to, so they voluntarily stayed, Wen Yinan discussed with everyone, and kindly agreed, and arranged to open up wasteland and farm land on the south bank of the Xiaonan River and settle down.

said that Ye Tong did not actually die, but just hit his head on the steps and fainted for a while. Later, he was rescued by Lin Hong and stayed in Xiaoshi Village for medical treatment.

However, it is said that in this battle, the Xiaoshi Village Self-Defense Force headed by Wen Yinan achieved a great victory, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the bandits, and since then the Xiaoshi Village Self-Defense Force has been famous and famous in Fengyuan County. It also frightened the nearby bandits and bandits, and they never dared to commit it again.

However, Wen Yinan still did not dare to be careless, in order to strengthen the protection of Xiaoshi Village, according to Lu Yuan's suggestion, a high courtyard wall gatehouse was built at the entrance of the village, and sentries were arranged to guard it day and night.

The original village of Xiaoshi Village was also renovated as a barracks, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were moved to live on the south bank of the Xiaonan River as much as possible, and personnel were organized to build houses and dormitories on the south bank to reclaim wasteland.

In addition, a large ditch was dug deep and the bottom of the ditch was densely covered with barbed thorns, separating the villagers' settlements on the south bank from the Grand Canyon to the south to prevent wild beasts.

These initiatives have greatly improved the defense capability of Little Stone Village.

In this battle, a large number of horses were captured, and after discussion, some of the fine horses were selected for the daily defense of the Self-Defense Forces, and the rest were distributed to the farmers.

Wen Yinan intercepted a horse near the old house of the little bolt, the horse was blood-red, without a trace of variegation, at a glance it was not an ordinary horse, I liked it in my heart, so I took it back.

It turned out that this horse was the mount that Mu Xiaofei had lost at the beginning.

On this day, Lin Hong brought the pure white snow horse raised by his family, which was a rare BMW horse, with a snow-white body and no stray hair.

"What are you doing with your father's baby?" Wen Yinan was a little puzzled when he saw this scene.

"Brother Yinan, I'll exchange it for your red horse." Lin Hongdao.

"Don't make trouble, I know the origin of your family's big white horse, I heard that it was your father who finally got it back from the Western Regions when he was in business, how can you be willing to change people." Wen Yinan said.

"Tell you what's not a family, my father agreed. You know, I've always liked jujube red horses, and I've finally fallen in love with you. Lin Hong said with a smile.

"You can think about it, my jujube red horse is very ordinary, but it can't compare to your family." Wen Yinan said seriously.

"I like it. You have to change it today, and you have to change it if you don't. After that, Lin Hong couldn't help but say that he stuffed the reins in his hand to Wen Yinan, went to the courtyard and led the jujube red horse away. Mother Wen saw it in the house and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in the summer, the tall gate tower of Xiaoshi Village has been completed, like a huge castle standing at the entrance of the village. The original small stone village has also been rebuilt into the appearance of soldiers and civilians.

This day was close to noon, more than a dozen people came down from the city tower, carrying a sedan chair to the front of the city gate tower, the sentry stepped forward to interrogate who came, and the other party said that it was the magistrate of Fengyuan County.

The sentry hurriedly sent someone to report to Wen Yinan. At this time, Wen Yinan was discussing with Gong Zhao and Lu Yuan at home about the expansion of the south bank of the Xiaonan River to the Grand Canyon, when he suddenly heard that the signal soldier had arrived: The magistrate of Fengyuan County had arrived.

When everyone heard the news, their hearts were not abrupt.

"That is, the official of the imperial court arrived, and he greeted him quickly." Wen Yinan finished speaking, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and led everyone straight to the city gatehouse.

Everyone came to the gatehouse, and saw an official sedan chair in the center of the road, the sedan curtain was opened, and a person sitting inside was the county magistrate of Fengyuan County, Lu Fangshan, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage and said in unison: "See the county magistrate." ”

"Oh, all the strong men don't have to be formal, please get up quickly." Luzhi County Road.

"I didn't know that the county lord arrived, and I missed the welcome, so please forgive me!" Wen Yinan said.

"You and I are all the people of today, conspiring to serve the court, naturally a family, quickly get up and lead the way." Luzhi County Road.

Hearing this, everyone got up and led the way in front, Lu Zhixian was still sitting in a sedan chair, and the group entered the village in a crowd.

Because the old house of the little bolt family is quite spacious, everyone came to the old house of the little bolt family, Lu Zhixian got off the sedan chair, entered the hall, and sat on a wide Taishi chair, Wen Yinan, Gong Zhao, Lu Yuan, Zhang Shukui, Wang Yuzhu and other two sides standing.

Nazhi County said: "Heroes, please sit down, we don't have to be formal, we should treat each other like a family, such a formality, but it is divided." ”

The people sat down as they were told.

"I don't know if Zhixian came to the village, what advice do you have." Wen Yinan said.

"How dare you advise. It is known that the spring battle of Xiaoshi Village defeated the fierce and stubborn rogue, which is admirable, and the representatives of all parties in Fengyuan came to congratulate each other. It was supposed to come early, but recently the war in the north has been tight, and the chores have been riddled with chores, so it has not been able to make the trip. "Zhixian Road.

"We are despissing wild grass people, small things, how dare we know that the county adults are concerned about their hearts and come from afar." Wen Yinan said.

"Hey, where is it a trivial matter, I came this time to be ordered by the imperial court, and the stakes are very high." Zhixian Road.

"My lord, what do you mean by that?" Wen Yinan said.

"Heroes, now I am facing the north for many years of drought, wars, natural and man-made disasters, and the world is difficult. In order to ensure the stability of the thousand-year-old foundation, the imperial court must avoid disasters and intend to move the capital to Jiangnan. "Zhixian Road.

"Oh." When Wen Yinan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but show a look of shock.

"I'm not satisfied with you, the location of this new Kyoto has been determined, and it is the town of Chaoyuan." Zhixian Road.

"And our Fengyuan county just happens to be a close neighbor of the tide town, and the day of the emperor's grace is just around the corner." The magistrate continued.

"And such a thing?" Wen Yinan and the others were not surprised when they heard this.

"I came here today, but I have something important to discuss with the heroes." Zhixian said again.
