Chapter 56: Bad News

Zhang Xiaolong was busy kicking this thing that saved his own people's lives carefully in his arms. Lu Yueming didn't wait for Zhang Xiaolong to speak, so he ordered: "The four of you ride the original horses and leave quickly, don't move these thieves' things, the corpses and horses are left in place, Xicuishan heard that there are three masters, it seems that they were all killed by me, it is estimated that Xicuishan will also fall and scatter in the future, you don't have to worry about their revenge." Besides, I don't have to hide the fact that I saved you, but remember not to say my name, and don't say the name of the Ethereal Sect, understand?"

Zhang Xiaolong didn't quite understand, but he also nodded deeply. Then, the four of them rode together on a horse and marched forward.

Lu Yueming also jumped on the horse and was about to leave, but looking at the mess on the side of the road, he frowned and thought about it, so he jumped off the horse, put the seven corpses on the seven horses left, released the reins and let the horses run on their own, and then got on the horse again and galloped away, and the road was quiet again.

After another meal, the people hiding nearby sneaked over to see that there were no villains on the side of the road, and then they packed up the sedan chair and other things, thinking that the bride and groom and others had been poisoned, and while feeling sorry for them and lucking their luck, they slowly returned to Guozhuang.

It is said that since Zhang Xiaolong led the marriage team out of the small courtyard of Guozhuang, the people in the family have been busy, not only to greet the neighbors in the village, beckoning them to sit, but also according to the preparations in the countryside for the wedding ceremony on the day of the necessary items, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei ran out and ran in almost without touching the ground, and kept muttering something in their mouths, looking here and there, lest they miss something.

When the sun was up, the husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down a little tired, this poor family is still tired of marrying a daughter-in-law like this, and the big family still doesn't exhaust people to death? It's just that they have forgotten that they have special servants to use, how can they do it themselves? Everything at home is fully prepared, and the rituals that should be there have been explained to people who are familiar with the village, and it is estimated that there will be no mistakes.

When the rest was not long, it was estimated that the wedding team was also approaching, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei arrived at Grandma's hut, Grandma also got up very early, Guo Sufei had made a new set of clothes for her mother a few days ago, and she was wearing it today, and Grandma heard someone coming in, so she asked: "Sophie? Xiaolong, are they back?" ”

Guo Sufei smiled and said, "Mother, it's not yet, but it's almost time to touch, you can wait with us in the hall." ”

Grandma was also very happy and said yes.

The husband and wife carefully helped their grandmother to the hall and sat down on a chair in the middle. Grandma's health is now very poor, she is lying in bed on weekdays, Zhang Xiaolong's wedding day needs to bow to her parents and elders, grandma is strong today, just to wait for her grandson and granddaughter-in-law's worship, and the wishes of this life are fulfilled.

However, everyone sat for a long time, and did not hear the sound of firecrackers and musical instruments at the entrance of the village, seeing that the time had come, this country marriage is very particular, missing the hour means that the life of the husband and wife is not smooth, it is always not beautiful, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei can't help but have anxiety on their faces, and even their grandmother seems to be unable to hold on.

Just when everyone was guessing in their hearts, suddenly, someone shouted: "Look, that's Liu Er who plays suona, why did he run back?"

Sure enough, after crossing the low courtyard wall of the Zhang family's compound, I saw a person staggering towards here, wasn't it the person in the marriage team!

Zhang Cai's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the secret way was not good, and he immediately rushed out of the hall, and before he reached the courtyard, he heard Liu Er's hoarse shout: "Oh no, Xiaolong and his daughter-in-law have met the thieves of Xicui Mountain!"

This sentence is like a spoonful of water dripping into the oil pot, the Zhang family's courtyard immediately fried the pot, some timid people immediately slapped their butts and ran away, as if the horse thief was in front of them, and most of them said something to each other, some of them had obvious schadenfreude on their faces, some were regretful, I don't know whether they regretted Zhang Xiaolong or Liu Qian, and more were sympathetic.

Before Zhang Cai rushed to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a cry from behind: "Mother~"

Zhang Cai said "groan" in his heart, and quickly turned around and ran back to the hall, sure enough, he saw his grandmother's face was pale, paralyzed on the ground, and she had fainted, Guo Sufei was crying and shouting while hurriedly rubbing on her grandmother's chest, trying to help her grandmother smooth out the thick phlegm blocked in her throat and eyes, Zhang Cai also hurriedly stepped forward when she saw it, and kept tapping on her grandmother's back, but fortunately, after a while, her grandmother's throat squirmed, and she opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, followed by a mouthful of blood, and grandma said: "Xiaolong~" , is already like a gossamer.

At this time, Guo Sufei still took care of Zhang Xiaolong, crying and carrying her mother to the bed of the hut with Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohu, and the husband and wife had time to look at each other, I really don't understand, why is this happy event going to be a funeral in a blink of an eye?

The husband and wife looked at their grandmother with a face like pale gold, their hearts were like knives, Zhang Xiaolong's life and death were uncertain, and the mother of the family was about to go away, how could this be good?

Zhang Cai left Guo Sufei to take care of his grandmother, and he and Zhang Xiaohu came to the hall at this time, and the people in the courtyard had already left partially, and many people had also entered the hall, listening to Liu Er's details. Seeing Zhang Cai come in, Liu Er started from the beginning, this Liu Er's mouth is also neat, and he actually said Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohua from archery to solving difficult problems vividly, and the "poem" made by Zhang Xiaolong remembered it word for word, and everyone listened to it while praising Zhang Cai for having two good sons, and on the other hand, they were sorry, these two good children are now estimated to be unable to save their lives. Zhang Cai was even more distressed when he heard it, he was anxious to know the situation of encountering the bandits, but Liu Er's description was so detailed, he couldn't wait to tear open his mouth and take out Zuihou's words.

Waiting for Liu Er to say: "Four fierce and vicious thieves took weapons and drove us away. Shut up, everyone was stunned and said, "Then what?"

Liu Er said innocently: "No, they don't know where they went, but I'm worried about Brother Zhang, so I'll come over and report the news." ”

Zhang Cai seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and asked, "Then, don't you see how the bandits deal with Xiaolong and them?"

Liu Er said: "No, the thieves drove us away, Xiaolong and Xiaohua, and the two girls in the sedan chair stayed." ”

Zhang Cai said luckily: "Xiaolong, they may not be dead yet." ”

Everyone nodded yes, but they and Zhang Cai thought the same thing, the thieves left them alone, the possibility of surviving is really not great, even if they can survive, the delicate bride and bridesmaids are estimated to have entered the wolf's mouth, anyway, this Zhang family's marriage today is no matter what, alas, good people are not rewarded, this Zhang family is good and virtuous on weekdays, and there is nothing good to repay when it comes to Zuihou, it is really a creation to make people.

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he couldn't sit still, he said: "Daddy, I'll go and see now, what happened to the eldest brother and the third brother?" After speaking, he was about to go out, but before Zhang Cai could speak, everyone immediately pulled him and said: "Second brother, now you are a man in the family, you can't make any mistakes, you can't go yourself, wait a while, let's organize the strong men in the village, it's not too late to go after taking weapons." ”

So, everyone in the courtyard hurried out, mobilized the young laborers of Guo Zhuang, took hoes and other guys in their hands, and prepared to go to the place where the accident happened to see what was going on.

But as soon as a group of loose people walked out of the entrance of Guozhuang's village, they saw a horse facing them, carrying four people and galloping over from afar.

The sharp-eyed person immediately recognized it and shouted loudly: "It's Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaohua, ah, they're back, they're still alive~"

Everyone cheered and shouted and rushed over, and the little tiger rushed to the front of the crowd.

When everyone received Zhang Xiaolong, they saw the tattered clothes on the two brothers, and the blood on their bodies, several people carefully lifted Zhang Xiaolong down, and Zhang Xiaohu also hugged Zhang Xiaohua off the horse, looking at the traces of being drawn on his shoulders distressedly, Liu Qian and Liu Yueyue did not get off the horse, they are still in shock, their legs are still soft, they can't walk, someone is leading the horse to move forward slowly, and there are fast legs, they have already run back and reported to the Zhang family.

Before the crowd walked to the center of the village, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, who got the news, had already rushed over, and when they saw their sons and daughters-in-law alive and well, tears couldn't help but flow, and they just carefully stroked their son's wounds with their hands, and said vigorously: "Okay, good." It wasn't until they walked to the door of Zhang's courtyard together that Guo Sufei woke up like a dream and said, "Xiaolong, Qianqian, come over and meet your grandmother." ”

At this time, I didn't care about whether Liu Qian could walk, stepped forward to help her get off the horse, and walked into her grandmother's hut, grandma was already a little delirious at this time, just now when she heard that her grandson came back alive, she couldn't help but lift her spirits, her face showed a burst of flushing, and her gray eyes seemed to be able to see her beloved grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and muttered: "Worship the church, worship the church." ”

Hearing her mother's words, Guo Sufei also woke up, the rule in the countryside is that when a happy event meets the funeral of an elder, it is necessary to retreat, and grandma does not want to delay Zhang Xiaolong's wedding because of her departure.

So, Guo Sufei also gritted her teeth and hurriedly asked Zhang Cai to prepare for the marriage ceremony, and her grandmother was also in good spirits at this time, so she had to go to the hall and accept the kneeling of the new daughter-in-law and grandson in the hall.

Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai had no choice but to carry their mothers to the hall.
