Lu Qingcao guessed correctly, there were more than a dozen people coming, dressed in tatters, and holding a long knife with a fierce spirit.

The horses under them were also uneven, and there were still traces of blood on their manes, and they didn't know where they had been snatched from.

"Boss, ahead is the largest town within a radius of several hundred miles." The Scarface man raised his horsewhip and pointed to the town.

The man at the head had a dark face, like a farmer, and his deep voice couldn't help complaining: "Grandma's, what they looted is too clean, and the four villages are empty, so I have to be happy today!" ”

He jerked his horse and galloped toward the town.

More than a dozen people followed closely behind.

It wasn't until everyone walked away that Lu Qingcao got up from the bushes.

Looking at the distant figure of the group, her eyes were solemn.

This is the case in today's world, and the days to come will only be more difficult.

She drove the ox cart to the village as fast as she could.

……

At this time, in the mountains and forests of the village, three or four men with long knives sneakily walked towards the village.

They were wearing tattered military uniforms and identity tokens around their waists, and they groped around the village in a panic.

"It's almost summer, there's nothing in the fields, and this village is a poor place, phew." The tall and thin man looked at the fields around him and spat in disgust.

The short and fat man squatted on the stone pier and gasped: "I really can't walk, just rest here, they won't find ...... after walking so far"

"How far is that? It's not a hundred miles, you can stay if you want to die! The other men were obviously of a higher status, looking around vigilantly, their eyes as sharp as knives, and scolding a few younger brothers from time to time.

Several people stopped talking.

Gollum......

I don't know whose stomach rang and was the first to break the dullness.

The fat man flattened his mouth and said aggrievedly: "I haven't eaten a full meal for two days, and if I continue like this, I won't be caught, and I will starve to death first." ”

Several people bowed their heads.

In the mountains and forests, the corners of tall houses are exposed, and the thick red bricks attract the eyes of several people.

"Boss, you see there's someone over there, why don't you go steal something." The tall and thin man pointed to the house.

After three consecutive days of escaping, several people were tired and inhuman.

After a moment of silence, the leader man agreed: "Okay, but don't hurt anyone, we're not horse thieves, we're just ......"

"Got it, boss, let's go." The fat man urged.

The three of them blended into the mountains and forests like ghosts, groping towards the house.

That house was the residence of Lu Qingcao's family.

The house is built too well, and it is often eye-catching.

It's not just good or bad, it's easy to provoke.

A few people groped their way to the gate of the courtyard, pushed open the door and took a look.

Lu Yihua was still lying on the bed, Lu Erli was taking care of her every step of the way, and Granny Qin was busy taking care of the children in the backyard, and the front yard was silent.

"Isn't there anyone living there?" The fat man has more words.

Is there no one living in such a nice house? Isn't it just cheap for them?!

A few people fumbled their way to the kitchen.

The kitchen also has rice porridge leftover from the morning, and the plate is full of uneaten pickles and half a cornmeal steamed bun.

The fat man swooped down on the stove, picked up the iron spoon and poured porridge into his mouth.

The porridge is boiled with millet, and it is very thick, and it is full of rice grains in one bite.

The fat man wanted to get into the pot.

Seeing this, the tall and thin man also walked to the stove, looked at the half of the steamed buns in the bowl, and handed it to the man: "Big brother, eat some steamed buns." ”

The man glanced at it, took the steamed bun and ate it in a big gulp.

Soon no one had an extra bowl of porridge in their hands, and it was simply delicious in the world with pickles.

"Is the grass back?" Granny Qin's ears were sharp, and when she heard the sound of the stove, she walked on crutches.

Several people were on alert for a moment, and the fat man still wanted to drink porridge, but he was forced against the wall by the man.

Silence.

Granny Qin pricked up her ears and listened again, except for the sound of the wind blowing in the forest, there was nothing left.

"Did I hear it wrong? Obviously, I heard the sound of dishes and chopsticks...... "Granny Qin muttered two sentences and went back to the house.

The man's gaze shrank slightly, and he let go of the fat man who was about to suffocate.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

The fat man gasped for breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "Boss, we are not thieves, what are we hiding?" ”

The man looked at the empty bowl in front of him and asked, "What do you think you're doing?" ”

The fat man stopped talking.

After eating and drinking, several people had different opinions.

"Boss, this house is inhabited by a blind old woman, we might as well rest here and wait for the limelight to pass before we leave." The fat man is reluctant to go.

He is fat, he can't perform in the mountains and forests, and he is not good at light skills, so he always lags behind the other two and lags behind.

The tall and thin man didn't make a sound, and he was a little shaken in his heart.

Even the horses have to rest, let alone a living person?!

"Who said there was only one person?" The man snorted coldly.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qingcao's oxcart had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

There are men?!

Hearing the sound inside, Lu Qingcao's eyes instantly widened.

It was not safe for the women to live together, and they lived in the mountains and forests, so she was extra vigilant.

I didn't expect to go out for a while, and then I mixed in with people.

Remembering the tragic situation in the town, she picked up the scythe and walked slowly towards the stove.

The door of the stove room was hidden, and she shook it sideways, kicked open the door with her right leg, squeezed her left leg forward, and went straight into the room.

The scythe swung over, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the man!

He took retreat as advance, leaned back and advanced fiercely, five or six moves had already passed between the electric lights and flints, and Lu Qingcao's moves were all towards the next three roads, and the man struggled to meet them.

The stove room is small, and he wants to avoid the ruthless tricks, but he doesn't want to hurt people, and he will be attacked by the enemy for a while.

The two next to him couldn't help at all, and before they could lift their hands, they knocked down the cupboard on the wall.

The chopsticks were scattered on the ground, making a loud noise.

The man's hand ghost generally roams around, and there is no advantage in close combat.

Lu Qingcao retreated violently.

Thorn -

The two instantly distanced themselves, and the sickle in Lu Qingcao's hand turned around, directly hooking the man's arm, and cutting a three-inch-long wound.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Lu Qingcao sneered: "I didn't expect it to be an acquaintance." ”

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

Granny Qin in the back room heard the movement and rushed to the stove room one after another.

Looking at the unfamiliar big man, Lu Erli threw herself into Granny Qin's arms, her face full of fear and nervousness.

The man at the head is none other than Chu Yanning.

In just one month, he has become a skeleton, the evil aura on his body has only increased, and his eyes have become more aggressive.

"Miss Lu, I have to bother you again this time." Chu Yanning looked at her, her thin lips raised slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
