Xu Huaiyi was too full to eat and didn't dare to lie down and sleep directly, so he boiled a pot of barley tea to consume, leaned back comfortably in the chair, and told Gu Xiaoyu about Journey to the West.

His level of storytelling is obviously much higher than Gu Huanxi's, with a full voice, a subdued tone, and even ordinary plots make his interpretation ups and downs and exciting.

At first, it was just Gu Xiaoyu listening, but gradually, the people nearby were also attracted, squatting on the ground one by one, listening fascinated.

The night is as cold as water, but no one feels cold, the night is getting deeper, but no one is willing to leave, the jumping firelight, reflecting a pair of bright eyes, hungry and thirsty fantasy Xu Huaiyi described to them the wonderful and wonderful world, the fatigue of the day has dissipated.

When Xu Huaiyi said that it was over, they were still reluctant to leave.

Or did Village Chief Xu stand up and shout, "Don't sleep anymore?" Can't get on the road tomorrow? It's just that you are not tired, Huaiyi still has to rest, scattered, all scattered, whoever makes trouble again, Lao Tzu cleans up whoever ......"

Someone asked loudly, "Then let's be obedient, can we still listen tomorrow?" ”

Village Chief Xu went to see Xu Huaiyi, which was also what he wanted to ask, and he didn't hear enough.

Xu Huaiyi said, "Yes, continue tomorrow." ”

When these words fell, everyone let out a "whoop", and the heart that was aroused by the addiction was finally steady, except for those who stayed on duty for the night, everyone else went to sleep in the shed.

However, since then, their evaluation of Xu Huaiyi has added a versatile label.

As the night deepened, the moon hung high and the snoring came and went.

But tonight, it wasn't calm.

When he was about a child, Gu Huanxi was pondering the plot of the book, and suddenly heard a scream, and there seemed to be a faint sound of fighting, but it was far away, a little blurry, and it couldn't wake up the sleeping villagers, only scared the people on duty at night, and their sleepy brains were a lot clearer.

Xu Changsong's chess pieces fell to the ground in shock, and he asked nervously, "Is something wrong?" ”

Xu Maoyuan stood up and looked into the distance, "It should be those refugees who followed us to make trouble, I'm afraid it's because of food again." ”

Xu Changsong stroked his chest and exhaled, "It's not about looking for us, they can fight if they want to, but let's take care of it?" ”

Xu Maoyuan muttered, "It's better to have more than one thing, let's take care of ourselves." ”

This is exactly what Xu Changsong wants, otherwise how can he like it in the middle of the night, because he can partner with Xu Maoyuan, Xu Maoyuan is cautious and conservative, and he will not easily find trouble or take risks, if he is replaced by Xu Huaiyi's restless, then he has to be afraid, and no one knows what unexpected decision he will make.

The two of them continued to play chess, and the others were naturally more reluctant to meddle in their affairs, and it was risky to join in the fun.

Gu Huanxi also sat still and didn't move, this kind of battle didn't affect their team, at most, there were people who sold their sons and daughters later, anyway, they didn't dare to rob it, so they could only use that roundabout way.

Soon, the sound on that side stopped.

It seems that the result is separated, and I don't know which one will be missing tomorrow, she picked up the cup with a calm expression, thinking that her heart is really getting harder and harder, even if she thinks of the dead, she can still be so unfazed, and the people in the village are afraid of Xu Huaiyi's ruthlessness, but she doesn't know that she is the one who is really ruthless.

As soon as I took a sip of tea, who wanted to think about it, I heard another movement.

This time it was the sound of horses' hooves, coming from far and near, eagerly, breaking the silence of the night.

At this moment, Xu Maoyuan was not calm, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be stepping on his heart, and he nervously urged Xu Changsong, "Go and call your father up." ”

Xu Changsong responded in a panic and hurried to wake up his father.

When Village Chief Xu came out of the shack, the sound of horses' hooves had already rushed in front of them, and it seemed that he wanted to enter the county seat, but at this hour, the city gate had already been closed.

"Ran over the two horses, I don't know who it is, the third watch in the middle of the night ran in such a hurry, I'm afraid there is something fatal......" Xu Maoyuan was worried and very uneasy.

Village Chief Xu wrinkled his brows and muttered, "After the city gate is closed, unless there is some emergency, holding the handwritten letter or token on it, otherwise, it is useless to shout and cut the throat, whoever dares to open it will be punished......

The two glanced at each other, and Xu Maoyuan asked, "Then let's?" ”

Village Chief Xu raised his hand and wiped his old face, "Wait and see, if something happens, it's too late for us to run now, it shouldn't have anything to do with us." ”

The place they enclosed was two or three hundred meters away from the county gate and some distance from the official road.

Xu Maoyuan didn't say anything more.

The two of them waited for a while, but they did not see the rider come back, but they saw seven or eight mule carts coming from a distance, and the first few were all carrying carriages, and they did not know who was sitting in them, and the carts behind them were piled high, but they were also covered with tarpaulins, and they could not see clearly.

The driver was whipping, apparently in a hurry.

"What is this for? Even if you rush again, the city gate is closed, and it's too late to go in and stay......" Xu Maoyuan was puzzled.

Village Chief Xu said thoughtfully, "This group of people are riding horses in front of them...... Could it be just a handful? Ride fast, go to the city gate first, and then come after the chariot. ”

"Don't say it, it's possible."

The two of them muttered quietly, and the other people on duty at night were already secretly vigilant, this is a horse and a mule, obviously a rich and noble family with a nursing home, they are worried about the refugees grabbing food, but they are not afraid of the refugees, and they don't know who they are to suffer in the fight, but these nobles are not something they can provoke.

This is the class, and it is difficult to eradicate the imprint in their bones.

That's why it's like a great enemy at this moment.

Gu Huanxi had avoided people at this time, took out a night telescope from the RV, and saw the scene at the city gate clearly, the man on the horse was stuffed with silver, and who handed over the post, a basket of good things were said, but he still couldn't open the city gate, and when the mule cart behind arrived, a middle-aged man got out of the car, dressed richly, with an anxious face, he stepped forward and talked to the gatekeeper again, the city gate was still not open, but it seemed that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, Because she saw a smile on the face of the richly dressed man.

When she returned to the group, she already had a guess in her mind, but she was not too worried.

When Village Chief Xu saw her calm appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Huaiyi daughter-in-law, aren't you afraid?" ”

Shouldn't a woman be scared to find her man at this time, hiding behind a man and asking for shelter?

Gu Huanxi said with a smile, "I'm also a little worried." ”

Village Chief Xu, "......"

If you hadn't laughed so truly, I'd probably believe it.

"Don't you call Huaiyi up?"

"What did you tell him to get up? He's tired all day, let him sleep peacefully, isn't there still me? I'll just keep it. ”

This natural appearance completely silenced Village Chief Xu.
