Five days later, the cottage where Lu Bu and Xie Ying met for the first time:

A carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Xie Ying got out of the car and sent the coachman away, she looked up at the top of the mountain and walked up the mountain quickly.

The cottage is no longer as lively as it used to be, it is as quiet as a huge tomb where tens of millions of people are buried, and it seems that every step will wake up a sleeping soul.

The original Hall of Justice is still there, but most of it has collapsed.

Xie Ying stood there, tilting her head and watching.

Suddenly, she drew a pair of daggers from her waist and dodged behind a boulder, her eyes fixed on the exit of the Gathering Hall, which had been half-blocked by the falling door.

A small woman came out hunched over, carrying a wooden bucket full of water in her hand, as if she was going to wash her clothes in the col of the back mountain.

The woman was slightly younger than Xie Ying and walked very briskly.

After Xie Ying made sure that there was no one behind her, she quietly followed.

Just as the woman came to the edge of the deep pool and squatted down to prepare for laundry, Xie Ying put a short sword on her back.

"Don't make a sound." Xie Ying lowered her voice and said.

The woman trembled with fright, her hands lifted up from the water, and the clothes that had just been soaked in the water slowly left the shore with the flow of the pool.

"Heroes spare their lives!"

Xie Ying couldn't help laughing and deliberately changed her voice.

"My son hasn't touched a woman for many days, and if you want to live, you need to do what my son tells you."

The woman's face turned pale.

"There are still some silver taels in the little woman's house, and I would like to give them to the heroes, but I just ask the heroes to stop hurting my life."

"Hugh is verbose." Xie Ying deliberately squatted behind the woman, stretched the short sword along the woman's neck in front of her, and deliberately touched the woman's cheek with the blade.

The woman's eyes moved in panic with the movement of the dagger, and suddenly she turned her head as if she had discovered something.

Their eyes met.

"Second ......" the woman shouted in surprise, but hurriedly covered her mouth again.

Xie Ying withdrew the short sword.

"I wanted to see you take off your clothes, but I didn't want to be seen through by you, a little girl."

The woman jumped.

"The second master has been separated from me for so long, but he wants to make such a joke when he meets, if he scares the slave to death, I'm afraid that the second master won't even be able to find food tonight."

Xie Ying patted the woman's shoulder.

"When my sister came back, she thought she would never see her former brothers again, but she didn't want you to be there."

The woman thought about it, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I don't know anything about the second master, there are still more than a dozen brothers on the mountain, and even Qian Ye is there." ”

"You're talking about Qian Leopard?" Xie Ying asked.

The woman's face flushed slightly, and she nodded.

Xie Ying suddenly laughed.

"Xiao Nizi, my sister knew that you were interested in that Qian Leopard, and she once discussed with her brother to take care of it for you, but unfortunately, it was delayed because of the matter of the Zijin Pot. Now, since you are both here, my sister will be a good person and fulfill this wish. ”

The woman's face turned redder.

"Thank you for remembering this, it's just, it's just that I and Master Qian are already married. After escaping down the mountain, we had nowhere else to go, so we hid in a small village for a few days and then returned here, and only then did a dozen brothers come back one after another. ”

"So, my sister came back quite late." Xie Ying said.

The woman nodded.

It turned out that this woman was Xie Ying's personal maid when she was on the mountain. His name is Ling Ju. And the man named Qian Leopard was a small leader on the mountain at the beginning.

Xie Ying came back this time to use the property he took from An Lengshuang to renovate the cottage.

"The second master will go back with me, if they see the second master come back, I don't know how happy they will be." Ling Ju picked up the bucket, didn't even bother to pick up the clothes that had been thrown in the pool, and walked back with Xie Ying.

"By the way, Ling Ju, don't call me the second master in the future, just call me sister." Xie Ying didn't forget to remind her.

In the Juyi Hall, Qian Bao was drinking with a few people.

When these people returned here, there was also a clear division of labor, a few thieves who were good at stealing went out every night to do some stealing and stealing things, while those who stayed at home were responsible for buying food, and there were many wild animals in the mountains, and all kinds of wild meat. So, although it is not long, it is also at ease.

Xie Ying's return immediately brought more life to the mountain.

"The second master, the villain also knows that a few brothers are hiding nearby, if the second boss allows, the villain will go down the mountain tomorrow to gather them back." Qian Biao said.

Xie Ying thought for a moment.

"Don't be busy first, although these people are all former brothers, but, after going down the mountain for so long, it is inevitable that some people will be familiar with the people under the mountain, once we know that you and I will come back and report to the government, you and I will have no place to stay."

"The second master said yes." One person said, "What to do next, please ask the second master to take the idea." ”

"Tonight, Ling Ju went down the mountain with me, and this girl came back this time and brought a big surprise to everyone." Xie Ying said.

Everyone glanced at each other, not knowing what the surprise Xie Ying was talking about.

Next, under the command of Xie Ying, these people worked together to renovate the Juyi Hall, along with some houses in the back, and basically restored it to its previous appearance.

In the evening, Xie Ying took Ling Ju down the mountain.

She was going to get back the belongings she had hidden at the bottom of the mountain.

Xie Ying can be described as a calculating person, and when she came to the foot of the mountain, she hid those belongings in the small village at the bottom of the mountain.

As we said, Xie Ying lived in this small village for a while.

She married an honest man, only to return to the mountains because she could not bear the hardships of life here.

Not long after returning to the mountain, the man died.

It's just that the man's parents still live in this small village.

Xie Ying used to send people to bring them some money and food.

She knew that the two old men were honest and simple, and it was safest to leave their belongings with them.

When I came here, it was already dark and the two old men were having dinner.

Seeing Xie Ying coming back, the two hurriedly greeted him.

Xie Ying was not polite, and when she entered the house, she went straight to the backyard from the back door, and dug out the bag containing her belongings under a big tree.

The two old men only knew that she had buried something here, but they did not expect that it was so many possessions, in addition to large pieces of gold and silver, there were also a lot of jewels and some treasures that could not be named at all.

Xie Ying sorted these things very carefully and packed them in different bags.

"Would the second elder be willing to go up the mountain with me?" Xie Ying asked.

The two old men glanced at each other and shook their heads almost in unison.

"It's okay, the mountain is clean." Xie Ying didn't force it, and said, suddenly turned around and pulled out two short swords from his waist, the cold light flashed, and the short swords pierced into the chests of the two of them respectively.

Ling Ju, who had been standing beside her, was so shocked that she almost screamed.

"No one can know about this girl's return, and my sister can't help it." Xie Ying didn't even look at it, but just explained in a low voice.
