The middle-aged man was slightly shocked and said, "Lu'er, where is the person you are talking about?"

Lu'er said: "It's in the back room, my father comes with me...... said that he walked to the back room with his father and saw Yuan Mu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yuan Mu had already heard the conversation outside, got up and arched his hand to the middle-aged man, "Yuan Mou is bothering ......"

Na Lu'er's mouth was not idle, and she told the story of meeting Yuan Mu one by one.

The middle-aged man smiled heartily: "What's polite, Dr. Yuan is in trouble here, and he was met by Lu'er, which can be regarded as the fate of my Li family, I am worried about drinking tonight without anyone to accompany me, it just so happens that Dr. Yuan is here, it just so happens that you and I are drunk and resting, Lu'er, go and put the tables and chairs on the table, I will talk to your Uncle Yuan first......

Na Lu'er obediently went to set up the tables, chairs and benches, and went to pester her mother.

Yuan Mu and the two sat down, and the middle-aged man said: "In Xia Li Kangning, the ancestral residence is in this Huaiyuan Mountain, hunting for a living, I like to make friends on weekdays, there are no men, women and children in this whole village who don't know me, usually, I like to drink a few cups, and sometimes I often bring friends home to have a happy gathering, I am a straight person, there is no ink in my chest, if Dr. Yuan does not dislike it, I will be your brother in the future." Li Kangning's words reveal honesty and sincerity.

Yuan Mu hurriedly replied: "Where did Brother Li come from, the younger brother is also from a poor background, and it is really undesirable to be friends with the eldest brother. ”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman walked into the house with steaming rabbit meat and a few plates of cold dishes.

Li Kangning said: "This is the insider Feng Cuirou, come and come, Cuirou, I have seen the Yuan family brothers." ”

Yuan Mu hurriedly got up and said, "Annoying sister-in-law, let sister-in-law bother to make so many dishes......

Feng Cuirou said: "Don't get in the way, Brother Yuan, don't be so polite, sit down, and have a few more drinks with your brother......"

Naluel took a jar of wine from a dilapidated cabinet and placed it on the table.

Li Kangning touched Lu'er's head and said, "Lu'er is good, you are really sensible! This Lu'er is the child's milk name, because when his mother gave birth to him, it happened to be morning, and there was a lot of dew that day, so we gave him this milk name." ”

Yuan Mu took the lead in pouring Li Kangning full of wine, and then poured a full glass himself, and said: "In Xia Yuan Mu, I am fortunate to be rescued in Lu'er Mountain, and I stayed in Brother Li's house Panhuan, this kindness cannot be repaid, I will drink this bowl first, and in the future, Brother Li's family will be my Yuan Mu's business, and you can summon it ......at any time."

Li Kangning said with a smile: "Brother is serious, don't be so polite in the future." He also raised his head and drank a full bowl.

Feng Cuirou said: "Uncle, don't be restrained, eat vegetables and eat vegetables...... After that, he picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Yuan Mu's bowl.

Na Lu'er coquettishly said: "Mother, I also want to eat ......"

Feng Cuirou smiled: "Okay, Lu'er will eat too." Patiently, he gave Luer another piece of rabbit meat.

Lu'er's smile is sweet, the sweetest smile in her life is nothing more than that!

The four of them had a good time, pushing cups and changing lamps, eating, drinking and talking......

Just as the feast was about to end, there was a sudden knock at the door!

Li Kangning was already half drunk, and his legs and feet were not very neat. So he half-squinted drunken eyes and said, "Lady, go and see who is so anxious......"

Feng Cuirou got up and went out, and after a while, a young man sweating profusely crashed in, and said breathlessly: "Big brother, it's not good, that gang of bandits has rebelled and is here again! It's at the entrance of the village now! You can get an idea quickly! Otherwise, the whole village will probably suffer......

When Li Kangning heard this, he suddenly woke up from drunkenness, and a cold sweat flowed down from his forehead and sideburns in an instant, and muttered: "These shameless bandits, you have to inch in, Lao Tzu fought with them, ...... Huo Ran got up and went to get his steel fork.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu hurriedly stopped and said, "Big brother, don't worry, can you tell your little brother about this?"

Li Kangning snorted angrily, calmed down a little and said: "Brother Xian, you can't control this matter, those thieves are very vicious, if I have anything wrong, you can take their mother and son to escape, this is for my brother's entrustment to you......" After that, he turned to the young man and said: "You go and call all the young and strong men in the village, let them bring their guys, and say that I, Li Kangning, are looking for them to fight the thieves together, go and ...... quickly."

When the young man heard this, he turned and ran.

Li Kangning picked up the iron bow, held the steel fork in his hand, and walked out resolutely......

Yuan Mu saw that Li Kangning was stubborn, so he had no choice but to ask Feng Cuirou: "Sister-in-law, can you tell me what is going on?"

Feng Cuirou was already crying out in horror at this moment, and cried: "Uncle doesn't know, there is a gang of bandits in this Huaiyuan Mountain, and the leader of the bandits is called "rampant and domineering", and a group of bandits have been making trouble in the vicinity all year round, burning, killing and looting. A few years ago, your eldest brother and some strong men in the village fought a battle with them, although the village side was defeated, but the bandits also suffered heavy losses, and the bandits had palpitations, so they found someone to come out and make peace, saying that as long as the village sent cloth, prey and iron tools to the mountain on time every month...... They will no longer harass the village, and neither side will disturb each other. But who knows that today they have changed their hexagram again, this Lu'er's father is a fiery man, in case there is a good one, how can our mother and son live......"

Yuan Mu's eyes widened angrily and said, "There is such a thing, haven't you ever reported it to the official? Why didn't the government come forward to take care of this matter?"

Feng Cuirou said: "Someone has already reported to the official, but in addition to the people of the official government who come to collect our taxes regularly, they simply ignore the matter of the bandits, what can we ordinary people do......" The cry was even worse.

Yuan Mu said fiercely: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the younger brother will come when he goes, and he will definitely let the eldest brother return safely." Yuan Mu stepped forward and walked out the door.

Feng Cuirou said in horror: "Uncle, don't be rash, that bandit is not something you can resist, come back quickly." Feng Cuirou couldn't pull Yuan Mu's outward body at all.

Outside the entrance of the village, a gang of bandits was fierce and lined up. The young and middle-aged people in the village, led by Li Kangning, were also armed with weapons and ready for battle. It looks like the big war is about to start......

Li Kangning was the first to speak, saying: "What is the intention of the owner of the village to go back on his word and have negotiated a good-neighborly and friendly agreement between Guizhai and our village before?"

In the middle of the bandit team, a sturdy and burly, black-faced man with a sinister face smiled and said, "Li Kangning, it's you again...... Last time, it was you who were entangled in these rabble and your village master, and now your village master is different from the past, I recently invited the famous Songhe Dao people to help my village sweep the surrounding villages, I guess you have also heard of the name of the Songhe Dao people, right?"
