The old chief cast a spell to hide the large array in the courtyard, and then instructed the young people of Zhangjia Village, some of them to inform the women and children hiding in the Lingyue Cave, the danger of the old people has been lifted, and some people stay to deal with the bodies of the seven bandits killed by the old chief. And Qu Fan is discussing with the elder how to rescue the women and children of several villages who have been kidnapped by bandits.

Right now, the old lieutenant is saying to Qu Fan: "The sooner you save people, the better, if it's too late, I'm afraid that something will happen, and after a while, I will arrange for more than a dozen strong young men in the village to go to save people with Brother Qu." ”

Qu Fan said: "What the old man said is, but I think the fewer people who go, the better, and it is inconvenient to have more." ”

The old chief asked suspiciously: "Why, why is it inconvenient to have one more person and more strength?"

Qu Fan explained to the old chief: "If there are more people, we chase them all the way, which is easy to cause the thieves to discover, if this group of bandits finds that the situation is not good for them, they may take the women and children who were taken away as hostages, but it is not good for us, and the second is that the brothers in Zhangjiacun have just been seriously injured, although they have recovered, they are not suitable for long-distance walking, and these bandits are a little cultivated, and although the brothers in Zhangjiacun are strong, they are not their opponents." If there are few people, it is convenient for us to hide our whereabouts, if we catch up with this gang of bandits, we can sneak attack them, the so-called capture of the thief first capture the king, we suddenly attack and kill their leader, this group of bandits will inevitably be in chaos, so that it is convenient for us to rescue the women and children who have been taken captive. ”

The elder nodded: "It's still thoughtful little brother Qu, but according to what little brother Qu said, our strong boys in Zhangjia Village are all seriously injured, and they are not suitable to go forward with little brother Qu, is it difficult to let little brother Qu go alone?"

Qu Fan said: "Old man, don't be so troublesome, just let Brother Zhang Li accompany me alone." ”

The old lieutenant thought he had heard it wrong: "Zhang Li?" Qu Fan snorted as a confirmation.

The old lieutenant immediately said, "No, no, Zhang Li is a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, but he will become a burden to the little brother Qu." ”

"Although Brother Zhang Li is a scholar, he is very flexible and more convenient to act, and Liu Xiong, the leader of this gang of robbers, was solved by me with a sword, and the bandits I kidnapped women and children are not as good as that, what I am worried about is that they will hurt the abducted women and children when they see the wrong opportunity, and use this as a threat. Qu Fan persuaded the old chief: "So, Brother Zhang Li is the most suitable." ”

The old chief thought to himself, Zhang Li, this kid is the smartest of the young people in our village, and he is introverted and steady. On the other hand, other people have strength, blood and strength, and it is easier to act impulsively and recklessly.

However, it is said that Cao Cao Cao has arrived. At this time, Zhang Li and some young people in Zhangjia Village were leading the women, children and old people in the village to come this way, and the distance was only one mile. A group of people were mighty, and their voices were clearly audible. After a while, the courtyard of the old chief was already full of people, very crowded, and in the crowd, the villagers exchanged heads.

Zhang Li walked up to Qu Fan and the old chief, first saluted the old chief and Qu Fan, and then said to the old chief: "The old chief, I brought the villagers over to thank Brother Qu for his great kindness." ”

"It should be so" The old chief had an appreciative look in his eyes, and then said: "Zhang Li, there is another thing I want to explain to you. ”

Zhang Lidao: "Old man, please speak." ”

"Well, after a while, you will accompany Little Brother Qu to rescue the women and children of Hejia Village, Yuyao Village, and Lujia Village who were kidnapped by bandits. The old lieutenant instructed.

"Boss, you have a hundred hearts when I do things. Zhang Li said very confidently, with unusual excitement in his expression.

The elder replied with a good word, and then said to the villagers of Zhangjia Village standing in the courtyard: "Fellow villagers, this person standing next to me is Brother Qu, thanks to him, our village is free from the scourge of bandits." As soon as the old man finished speaking, all kinds of words of thanks came one after another, and it took a long time before he stopped.

After the villagers quieted down, Lao Li Chang Fang said again: "Fellow villagers, Little Brother Qu still has something very important to do, I think you heard it just now, that is, to rescue the women and children who were kidnapped by bandits in Hejia Village, Yuyao Village, and Lujia Village. After the old chief finished speaking, some of the villagers couldn't help but say.

"Brother Qu, you must rescue them!" The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, about fifty years old, who sobbed as she spoke.

"Why is my poor daughter's life so miserable! Why did she marry in Hejia Village! I don't know if my daughter was poisoned by bandits. A middle-aged man standing beside her hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Brother Qu will definitely rescue our daughter, and she will be fine." Only then did the middle-aged woman stop sobbing.

In fact, among the villagers, there are still twenty or thirty families with daughters who are married in Hejia Village, Yuyao Village, and Lujia Village. As a result, the atmosphere became anxious and worried, sad and sad, and hated the bandits.

Seeing that the villagers were reluctant to disperse, the elder said in his heart that it would not work like this, which not only delayed the time, but also may delay the best time for rescue. So they took out the majesty of the old lieutenant and promised that they would definitely rescue their relatives, and the villagers dispersed one by one.

After all the villagers dispersed, Qu Fan, Lao Lichang, and Zhang Li walked to Liu Xiong, who was tied to a tree. Qu Fan slapped him in the face. Liu Xiong was in pain, the muscles of his face twitched, his blurry eyes gradually became focused, and it took a few breaths before he was completely awake. Seeing the three figures in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and then shouted loudly: "Spare your life, spare your life, don't kill me....."

During the time when Liu Xiong was in Qu Fan's Soul Dementoring Dafa, he found that he was kneeling on the ground of a very dark and terrifying hall, and on the rostrum in front of the hall sat a man holding a judge's pen, and on the left and right sides of the man stood a white and a black, with his tongue sticking out half a meter, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Originally, he was timid and small, but he had seen such a scene there, and he was immediately frightened and his feet weakened, and his heart trembled. Suddenly, when he heard the man with the judge's pen shouting at him, asking him to confess the evil deeds he had committed in his life, he was already frightened, and he dared to disobey and confessed everything in 1510. After the explanation, a white and a black tongue standing next to the man spit out a half-meter-long person dragged him into the oil pot to fry, he begged for mercy in fear, but no matter how he shouted and begged, he was indifferent, and the moment he was thrown into the oil pot, he suddenly woke up and saw three people standing in front of him.

Of the three, two were known, the other had not, and one of them had the one who made the sword that impressed him the most, and the one that frightened him the most. The image of the sword he slashed his cousin Liu Kui seemed to be engraved in his mind forever, and that sword made his soul tremble, and that sword ...... He wished he never remembered.

"Don't worry, I still want you to lead the way, I won't kill you for a while. Qu Fan said.

Liu Xiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that he could live for a while, this person asked himself to lead the way, nothing more than to go to the women and children of those villages who were taken captive, I behaved well in front of him, helped him rescue those women and children, and then begged bitterly, maybe he could still live.

So, Brother Liu showed a very flattering look, "Don't worry, son, I will lead the way." Qu Fan was very unimpressed by his appearance, ignored him, and said to the elder: "Brother Zhang Li and I will set off." ”

"Good," said the old lieutenant.

Liu Xiong saw that Qu Fan ignored him, and smiled awkwardly. When Qu Fan saw him smiling, he was very cheap, and said to him angrily: "Don't hurry up and lead the way." Taking out the bladeless giant sword and slashing at him, Liu Xiong was frightened, and he was busy leading the way. Then, Qu Fan put the bladeless giant sword behind him and said to Zhang Li: "Go, Brother Zhang Li." ”

The elder saw Qu Fan and his party gradually drift away, and prayed for them in his heart, hoping that they would get out of the abducted women and children if their trip went smoothly.
