Today's Shenjia Village is still snowing heavily.

Huge snowflakes fell, and pedestrians stepped on the ground, leaving a string of deep pits, and it was very difficult to walk.

Thirteen men carrying small parcels and wearing shabby cotton jackets entered the village one foot deep and one foot shallow, not only looking at the road under their feet but also busy observing the surroundings along the way.

It's not busy.

"Three masters, we really don't go in with weapons?"

"If you don't have anything in your hands, how can you feel unsteady?"

"I've been carrying that knife with me for three years, and I'm really not used to leaving it."

"If there were really masters in this village, it would be easier for us to carry knives, but if we didn't. Then we can grab some food! ”

Without weapons, it's a bit useless to do anything.

It's no wonder.

"Shut up."

The three masters glanced at a few people, and their heads were hurt by them.

"When you enter the village, call me Brother Zhuang, we are the victims who fled from the north, remember?"

As for the food in the village?

There is no hurry, it will always be theirs if it is theirs.

Inquire about the news today, and bring the guy next time.

"Yes, yes, they all listen to the three masters."

"We are disaster victims!"

"What are the three masters? It's Brother Zhuangzi! ”

"Hey, Brother Zhuangzi Sandang, that's a lady in front?"

The third master looked up and looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a villager wrapped himself in a ball moving slowly in the snow.

Why do you say it's a big mother?

First, the person's height is not outstanding, and second, the padded jacket on the person's body is embroidered with old-fashioned flowers, and he looks like an elderly woman when he is leaning around.

"Let's go, keep up."

The three masters took the lead and sped up to stop the people in front.

"Auntie, auntie?"

"The young man called me, whose family are you, why do you look at the eyes?"

"We came from the north and passed by here, I want to ask you for directions, how to get to Lin'an Mansion?"

"Are you going to Lin'an Mansion? It's not the right time to come, it's not going to go. ”

"Why? Our hometown has been hit by a disaster, but we finally got here, why can't we go? ”

The man panicked, and his face was frightened.

"Hey, Lin'an Mansion didn't allow outsiders to enter as early as a month ago, not even the people in our village, and it is even more impossible for you people from the north."

The woman glanced at the others, her eyes filled with pity and pity.

"Fleeing? Hey, I've suffered a lot along the way! But there is no way to open the gates, so I think you should go ahead. ”

"What, ask me if there are any empty houses in the village? Want to stay for a few days? No. ”

"Huh? Is anyone coming? A few days ago, a few people came, and the evildoers robbed the grain in our village, and also took away the yellow flower daughter of the Lao Lin family. Where did they go? Gone the next day! ”

The eldest lady simply knows everything and says everything, and she will explain what they want to know in three or two sentences.

The eldest lady is back on the road.

Thirteen mountain bandits are also back on the road.

There seem to be a lot of people in this village, and they met three ladies on the way from the east of the village to the west of the village, and they all asked without exception.

The story is highly consistent, and you can't believe it or not.

"So Da Liu, they're really gone?"

"Then why don't you go back to the cottage?"

"I also took away other people's yellow flower daughters, and everyone in the village knows about it!"

"Strange, weird!"

The three masters stood in the snow and were silent for a moment, and believed most of the words of the eldest ladies, but they were even more confused about the whereabouts of the eight people.

Could it be true that I went somewhere else?

Near noon, smoke rose from several houses, and when he saw this, he turned around and walked back with the people.

"Let's go back to the stockade first."

"Three masters, why don't we bring some food back?"

"What to bring? There are a lot of people in this village, and we don't have any weapons. ”

Come back another day!

The group walked back with difficulty, until the figure disappeared into a white expanse.

The Scarface Eight, who were thrown behind the stone wall and gagged with their socks, looked desperate, and as they grew farther and farther away, the little hope in their hearts gradually faded, and tears flowed out.

Shen Xingluo, Cheng Xi, and the patrol team led by Shen Manchu and others were on their side, watching 13 people enter and leave together throughout the whole process.

Behind them, several ladies shook their bodies into a sieve.

"Manho, what did you just say, they are mountain bandits?!"

"Oh my God, I was talking to the bandits?"

"They still call me Auntie!"

Oh, they are so close to the mountain bandits!

The problem is, it's still alive and well.

The limbs are sound and there are no injuries at all!

The three of them didn't know whether to be glad that they had escaped the catastrophe or to resent Shen Manhoard for hiding it from them, and their limbs trembled uncontrollably, and they didn't know whether they were scared or angry.

"Ahem, Aunt Cuihua, I didn't mean not to tell you."

He pointed to the group of heavily armed people behind the stone wall, and suddenly his confidence came.

"You see we're all here, Zheng Shan's bows and arrows in their hands are not vegetarian, once they dare to do it, they will definitely shoot them to death!"

The adventure was a bit risky, but they were still sure that the three of them would not be in danger.

It's just to scare people a lot.

Sins, sins, sins.

The three of Cuihua's aunts: "."

It's not angry, it's not angry.

It's very aggrieved.

But

"This mountain bandit is not as fierce as he thinks?"

"That's right, the one who takes the lead talks like a little sheep."

"You're welcome?"

Shen Manchu: "."

Patrol: "."

Behind the stone wall, only the eight people with Scarface were shocked when they heard this.

Who, who is like a little sheep?

The three of them?

How dare you say it!

***

That night, the patrol team found that someone was quietly approaching Shenjia Village.

No one expected that the three-master would be so strong in action and would return after three hours.

"How many people did they bring?"

"About fifty or sixty men, all with weapons."

Faced with a great enemy again, Shen Manchu gathered the women, children and elderly people in the village in the cellar below the ancestral hall, and hid behind the stone wall with a resisting patrol.

This time, it's really going to go under the knife!

Facing mountain bandits and facing wolves give people a completely different feeling, and everyone understands it.

They are more nervous than before!

After all, killing animals and killing people are not the same concept.

"I'm a little panicked."

"What a panic! There are so many of us, I'm afraid of what they will do! ”

There were 100 people in the patrol, and there were only about 50 mountain bandits, which was a landslide victory in terms of numbers.

However, sober people know that there is no relationship between the two at all.

Lose more than ruthless here, lose more than actual combat experience!

Cheng Xi stood beside Shen Xingluo, "More than 50 mountain bandits, this third master still looks up to us?" ”

Don't underestimate the more than 50 mountain bandits, although they are only one-sixth of the troops in the village, they are considered a big deal in the face of a peasant village.
