Chapter 20: Departure and Return
Xiao Chen's mind was full of the voices and smiles of the villagers when he left his hometown, those villagers still thought that he and Fan Yueyi had quarreled, Fan Yueyi ran back to her parents' house, persuasion and advice, those words full of kindness are still vaguely echoing in his ears at this moment.

"No, no?" Xiao Chen sat down on the ground, letting his tears rage, blurring his eyes and wetting his clothes.
"Second brother, ...... you" Gu Ruobiao, who was full of anger just now, also squatted beside Xiao Chen at this time, listened to Erzhu's narration, and wanted to comfort, but didn't know how to speak.
From noon to sunset, the red glow of the evening also casts a blood-colored veil over the silent valley.
Xiao Chen stood up, the tears on his face had already dried, and he stretched out his hand to Erzhu, who was still sitting motionless on the ground, and said softly: "When we have practiced martial arts, let's go back together to take revenge!"
Lifting his already stiff neck with difficulty, looking at Xiao Chen's firm eyes, Erzhu nodded heavily and stretched out his hand.
Gu Ruohai, who disappeared just now, had already returned, listened to Gu Ruobiao's story, knew the whole story, and didn't bother Xiao Chen, just stood quietly by his side, silently accompanying him.
At this time, seeing that Xiao Chen and the young man from the same township had regained their spirits, Gu Ruohai patted the two of them on the shoulder and only said, "Call the two of us when you go." ”
Gu Ruobiao also stood behind Xiao Chen and gently put his hand on Xiao Chen's shoulder.
That night, the four of them did not leave the valley, but found a clean and large room in the cottage to stay, and in the dark room, none of them fell asleep, but none of them spoke.
Early in the morning, hearing the sound of someone getting up, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, the four of them had already woken up, glanced at each other, and walked out of the room together.
"Big brother, the property in the vault is only a few of us, and we can't take it away. Although Xiao Chen still has a haze in his heart, he insists on adjusting his mentality, only the faster he develops, the sooner he can get a blood feud for the blind date.
"Let's see if any of the captives of that group of bandits are willing to follow us, first, to transport goods, and second, to lay the foundation for the future establishment of the mountain villa. Gu Ruohai already had a draft in his heart, so when he heard the words, he directly said the method, paused and pondered for a moment, and then continued: "When the final screening is made, the Erzhu brothers need to confirm it, after all, he knows who is more reliable." Probably thinking that Erzhu's mood was not high, when Gu Ruohai said this, he gestured to Xiao Chen with his eyes, Xiao Chen nodded his head and expressed his understanding.
Ringing the big bell on the training ground, people came out one after another in various rooms, among these people, the part of the people who had been motionless since they came out of the dungeon yesterday, Gu Ruohai took them out one by one and stood on the other side, Gu Ruobiao distributed fifty taels of silver and three days' dry food to those who were pointed out, and let them leave here directly.
This part of the people who are obviously frightened by the fear, greedy for life and afraid of death, has neither blood nor loyalty, and staying will only add to the annoyance.
Gu Ruohai stepped forward and said bluntly to this group of people: "Our brothers are going to establish a mountain villa outside Hengshan City, Linzhou, the villa recruits a large number of people, if you are willing to go back with us, go with us, take care of food and housing, and also pay everyone wages, with good treatment, whether you leave or stay in the future, it will also follow your wishes, if you don't want to go back with us, you will be given dry food and coils back to your hometown now." ”
In a group of people, many people looked left and right, and a young man walked out of the crowd in the middle of the night, Gu Ruobiao gave him a fifty taels of silver, after three days of rations, the young man knelt on the ground, solemnly kowtowed to a few people three times and said: "Villain Peng Jing, thank the three benefactors, great kindness, no teeth unforgettable, just because there are still old fathers and mothers at home, can not follow the benefactor, after a hundred years of parents, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the great kindness, and I hope the benefactor will tell the name." ”
"Hahaha, my name is Gu Ruobiao, next to me is my eldest brother Gu Ruohai and second brother Xiao Chen, don't mention being a cow or a horse, go home and repay your parents." Gu Ruobiao smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder, letting him leave.
Some people in the crowd, seeing that some people had left, also did the same, and after thanking a few people for saving their lives, they took their things and left.
Until a long time later, there were only a dozen young men and more than 30 women left on the training ground, most of these people were hard-working people who died with their relatives, their relatives had already left, but they had no concern, and these women entered the den of thieves, even if there were relatives in their hometown, they were afraid that it would be difficult to survive, and even many of them wanted to commit suicide because of yesterday's revenge, but they were stopped by Gu Ruohai.
Only when people are alive can there be hope, and when they die, there is nothing, the oldest of these women is only twenty-five or sixteen, and the good years have just begun, although Gu Ruohai knows that he is grief-stricken and has lost the dignity and meaning of living, but he really can't bear to see him die in front of him, so he has to tell them that his great favor has not been repaid, how can he die peacefully.
seems to be ruthless, but it gives this group of women a meaning of life again, and they don't seek death again, but there is still a little wood in their expressions.
Looking at the people who stayed, Xiao Chen remembered Gu Ruohai's instructions when he went out, so he called the name of Erzhu, Erzhu looked at the people in the training ground, opened his mouth and said: "The unreliable ones have just left, and the people who stay are still trustworthy." ”
Erzhu's voice is far different from what it used to be, the hoarse is as harsh as the friction of a grinding plate, but it can't help but make the hearts of those who hear it feel sour, this honest and honest young man, I am afraid that the vocal cords have been seriously torn and cannot be recovered.
Gu Ruohai nodded after hearing Erzhu's words, and called a few young people in the crowd who seemed to be in good spirits to raise a fire together, and simply made some food, and a few of those women also spontaneously came over to help greet them.
After eating, Gu Ruobiao led Qingzhuang to find a lot of carriages in the cottage, but the horses pulling the carriages had already been harmed by Xiao Chen and could not get up in the horse ring, although the resistance of these horses was stronger than that of people, and it would only take three or five days to recover, but at the moment it was completely useless, so he had to run out and ride back the horses that were tied to the col seven or eight miles away, as a horse pulling the cart.
When Gu Ruobiao returned to the cottage, those belongings had already been neatly placed on the frame under Xiao Chen's command, and a thick layer of black coarse cloth was covered around them, and they couldn't tell what was inside.
The horses were framed, some frail women sat into the carriage, and a group of people began to set off for their hometowns.
The loss is that when they came, they were not bad for money, and in order to ensure the speed, the three of them had two horses, otherwise they would really not be able to pull so many people and property.
In fact, Xiao Chen originally had the intention to eliminate the bandits who led people away yesterday, but his strength was not good, and if he fought head-on, Gu Ruohai and Gu Ruobiao could barely protect themselves, as for Xiao Chen's actual combat level, it would be okay not to mention it.
