Chapter 9642: Not Peaceful
Every year after the autumn harvest, bandits in the mountains begin to make moves.
Speaking of these bandits, the first thing that may come to everyone’s mind is that they are copycats, and then the boss is the second boss and so on.
If a woman from a good family passes by outside the village, she might be snatched to be the wife of the village, right?
Yes, there are gangs of bandits that use copycats as their model.
However, it is hidden deeper in the mountains, and the cottages are built on steep cliffs that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Many of the bandits in the cottages are desperadoes who are on the run and have lives in their hands, or they are reckless people who do not follow principles and bottom lines.
Those people rely on robbing homes, bullying passing traders, and looting villages as their source of income. They eat meat and drink wine in a real sense. They have hunting torches stuck on their skulls. They are very fierce and fierce. bloody.
But there is another type of bandit.
This kind of bandits are usually simple and harmless-looking villagers scattered in various villages.
But during slack times in farming, or when they are short of food and clothing in winter, or on special days such as the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month when they go to large gatherings, they will gather together secretly with special slogans.
Your face is covered with a cloth so that the other person cannot see your true appearance. Sometimes other bandits who are with you don’t even know what you look like or which village you are from.
They will guard several exits in the mountains, specializing in robbing unarmed villagers at the intersections who go out of the mountains to go to the market, or villagers or small traders who enter the mountains.
Take the Heifeng brothers and sisters from Changping Village, who were robbed twice.
The brothers and sisters were so scared that they did not dare to do business in the mountains. Even if they sometimes visited a few villages in the mountains, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea were very popular and they made a lot of money. I dare not go into the mountains, especially after the autumn harvest.
The main reason is that the mountains are not peaceful after the autumn harvest.
In the past years, no matter how noisy the mountains were, the bandits would not dare to step out of the mountains and come to the outskirts.
The reason is because there are Narisong's escorts stationed outside.
Going to Changping Village at the foot of the mountain, General Luo Fengtang was guarding the country, so the bandits only dared to make trouble in the mountains.
Since Luo Fengtang went to the capital, Risong also transferred the escort team to escort Tuoba Xian and others north, and the garrison force in the mountains was almost empty.
Luo Baobao's camp is full of teenage female soldiers, which is not a good atmosphere.
So after a period of waiting and watching, those bandits became active again this year.
It can be seen from the several robberies that occurred after the autumn harvest that the activities of bandits will become more frequent and rampant as we go into winter, the twelfth lunar month and the New Year.
So Baobao Luo came back to the village for two main purposes.
Firstly, I knew that my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law had gone to my uncle's house in Qing'an County. I was worried that my mother and the others would be deserted at home during the Double Ninth Festival, so I came back to spend the holiday with my family.
The second reason is also because of bandits.
Baby Luo slept with Yang Ruoqing last night, and the mother and daughter talked all night long.
She told Yang Ruoqing everything about her plan to form female soldiers to fight bandits within the year.
Not only did Yang Ruoqing receive full support, but Yang Ruoqing also gave a lot of deployment suggestions.
For example, go tell the wizard and ask him to organize the forces in Nanshan Village so that he can respond to Luo Baobao and help each other.
For another example, go to Zhui Yun Zhui Feng, the wolf king father and son. The wolf king is the overlord of the mountain forest, and you can get twice the result with half the effort by using their power.
In addition, Yang Ruoqing will also spend a lot of money to pour winter supplies, from cotton clothes, to food, medicine, to sophisticated equipment and weapons, into the camp and Nanshan Village. The fight against bandits is a protracted tug-of-war, and we must fight it to the end.
So Luo Baobao is very excited. She feels that the day when she has been raising troops for a thousand days and displaying her ambition is finally coming!
"Auntie, our baby has really grown up."
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing was very pleased and raised her head and said this to Wang Cuilian.
Wang Cuilian also had a gratified smile on her face. She raised two fingers and gestured, and said: "I don't think a little person with such a long body would be crying until his face was full of tears. I saw a mouth, the umbilical cord had just been cut, and white gauze was used to seal her belly button. Her legs were kicking around while changing her diaper. "
"I didn't expect that sixteen years would pass in the blink of an eye. I, I would be so happy just watching her grow into such a big girl..."
Wang Cuilian's words also brought back many memories of Yang Ruoqing. , especially looking at the more and more white hair on Wang Cuilian's head, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but secretly turned her face away and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
The children have grown up, but the elders have grown old.
Just like the trees on the roadside, with the change of seasons, the leaves turn green and turn yellow. A gust of wind rises and falls with the wind...
But when the next spring comes, the trees will be green again, maybe this is It's life.
There is an endless stream, one after another, but there is no end to it.
"Qing'er, our baby will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. Do you want to keep an eye on this marriage?" Wang Cuilian asked again in a low voice.
For this question, Yang Ruoqing had already prepared an answer.
Because this was also the most discussed topic in her family letters with Luo Fengtang in the past six months.
Not only Luo Baobao's marriage was discussed, but Chen'er and Dazhi were also discussed.
In the end, the couple unified their meaning, which is:
"Auntie, our children, whether boys or girls, are different from other families."
"Our family's children Let the children’s marriages take their own course. We will not start arranging arrangements for them just because they are old.”
"If there are outstanding children of the same age around us, we can introduce them to them appropriately, but no matter how many there are, I won't interfere." "
"When fate comes, they will naturally find their favorite partner and start a family. "
Wang Cuilian actually doesn't agree with this in her heart.
Because of marriage, they hope to implement it this morning, so that they can feel at ease.
But the child was born to Qing'er and the others, so it's best for grandparents like them not to care too much.
Furthermore, Qing'er and Tangyazi's views are different from those of other families, and the grandchildren at home are naturally different from others.
Chen'er was both civil and military at a young age, and the soldiers under his command were all older than himself.
Dazhi is also very promising and has passed the examination.
As for Baby Luo, he is even more different from the girls around him who only know how to embroider and cook.
If Wang Cuilian was really asked to help her grandchildren find their spouses, to be honest, after searching all the villages, she really couldn't find anyone with such a child who could match her grandchildren!
You can’t hastily promote your children’s marriage just because you are anxious, right?
Isn’t that stupid!
