Chapter 52 52. Stowaway (Second update)
The man with the scar on his face in front of me seems to be looking at a dead person!
Also, look at what these villagers are doing. They are eating steamed buns, rice, and even vegetables!
It has been two months since the snowstorm started, and every household is hungry. In some villages, robbery and robbery are commonplace, and everyone has blocked their doors and even their own father is on guard.
What’s in front of you? They were actually laughing and laughing together, eating, drinking, and talking?
Is this ridiculous?
"Brother, am I dazzled?"
"There are so many black-faced steamed buns!"
"There is even water spinach porridge. Is that broken rice? ”
“Why are they so united? Shouldn’t they be so hungry that they are so thin and wary of everyone?”
This village is evil, very evil!
“If I had known that there was so much food in Shenjia Village, we should have been the first to grab it!”
Back and forth for two months, they just ignored Baoshan and went elsewhere. Picking sesame seeds in the field?
No wonder I’m always hungry!
Hearing this, the man in the tiger hat looked at the couple who were talking and sighed quietly.
"Are you sure that if we come to Shenjia Village first, we won't die faster?"
The man followed his gaze and said, "."
It seems that, indeed, we will die faster. quick?
This assumption is doomed to fail.
Scarface has been staring at Shen Xingluo since just now. Food is not as important to him as that man.
"What did Huang Mazi say before, that the person who hurt him has a scar on his face?"
The only one in the whole village with a scar on his face was the one who just passed them.
At that time, when he saw Huang Mazi mentioning Shenjia Village, the whole person was trembling with fear, which was very disdainful. What kind of cruel person could he say? What kind of cruel person could be crueler than him?
The scar on his face makes him even more powerful. He is not afraid of scars!
However.
Just one face-to-face meeting made Scarface change his original mind.
This man’s eyes are very wrong!
Even he, who has been a bandit for three years, does not have such a frightening look in his eyes. How can a small villager have such a frightening look?
At this moment Scarface realized the seriousness of the problem.
It’s not that Huang Mazi is too frustrated, but that the enemy is too inhuman!
Shen Xingluo withdrew his intimidating gaze and stood beside Cheng Xi and asked in a low voice.
“Did they break in?”
“Yes, they were found behind our house.”
Cheng Xi put the end of the rope into his hand. "It's a bandit, leave it to you."
Bandit
Shen Xingluo's eyes sharpened again, and he nodded after a moment, "I'll go tell Uncle Six."
This is no small matter.
"Xingqi is at home by herself. I have to go back to accompany her."
Cheng Xi looked at him and found that there were no scars and his clothes were clean, "You guys this time The climb was smooth? No danger.”
“We encountered a few wild boars and were not injured.”
Instead, he added some food rations to the villagers, so they had meat to eat in the past few days.
"By the way, you said before that you wanted to eat roast suckling pig?"
"Is there a small wild boar?"
"Yes."
Cheng Xi seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes were a little brighter than before, "Did you hunt alone?"
Shen Xingluo knew what she was thinking, and the smile on his lips melted.
"Yes."
"Then I have to take it away."
Cheng Xi unceremoniously untied a rope tied to the tree in the ancestral hall in full view of everyone. A small black wild boar was taken away.
The nearby villagers didn't say anything at all, but looked like it was natural.
Isn't it just leading a little wild boar?
A large wild boar weighing four to five hundred kilograms can be accepted. Not to mention that the prey is all hunted by others. Going up the mountain will have to rely on others in the future, not to mention that there are ruffians outside who are always watching their food.
At this moment, the villagers in Shenjia Village had no idea what was important.
Cheng Xi was very happy on the way back.
I took eight with me when I came and one when I left. It’s not a loss this time!
What wins this time is not quantity, but quality!
The little black wild boar at her feet was indeed different from the ones she had seen before. Its mouth was a little short, its eyes were dark and very lively, and even its tail was different from the wild ones.
Confirmed, this is a "stowaway".
The journey home was smooth, and Shen Xingqi froze as soon as she saw the little guy.
"Oh my God, this little pig is so cute, isn't it?"
Small, round, and with bright eyes.
It would be better if the fur was pink
"Sister-in-law, is this a new member of the chicken and duck pen? Do you want to keep it?"
"No .”
Cheng Xi looked stubborn and said, "Eat it."
Roasted suckling pig, banana-flavored, red and shiny roasted suckling pig, we can't wait any longer!
***
The roasted suckling pig was not finished in the end.
In the evening, Shen Xingluo brought back the latest news.
"Those bandits also have about three hundred accomplices?"
Why so many!
Is Shennong Mountain a bandit den?
Cheng Xi only knows that the rolling mountains have given birth to countless precious medicinal materials, and are a place that doctors from all over the world flock to. The wild fruits, beasts and wild fungi in the mountains have nourished countless people around the mountains.
But I never thought it was the cradle of bandits!
This is a big joke. What does the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture do for a living?
Hey wait a minute, the prefect seems to be Zhou Xuzhi's father
Cheng Xi's mouth opened in surprise and closed instantly.
Emotionless.
“How did they get to us?”
"To be precise, the bandits of this generation have touched every village, and Shenjia Village is the last one."
I never thought that I would be so unlucky that I would kneel down and be the last one. .
Shen Xingluo didn't put much effort into interrogating him, and those few people confessed everything honestly. They didn't even hide the location of the bandits, how many people there were, and how many things they had stolen and where they were placed.
At first, the scar-faced boss was holding his neck and looked stubborn, but in the end he didn't hold on for long.
“Bandits often ambush passers-by at the main road leading to the north of Lin’an Prefecture, but since the snowstorm began, no caravans have passed by, not even ordinary people passing by.”
Therefore, these bandits who rely on robbery to survive naturally have no food to eat and have no choice but to leave the village.
“As for coming here, they went to Shiqiao Village yesterday and learned from Huang Mazi that there are masters in Shenjia Village.”
To put it bluntly, they don’t believe in evil and came here to have a meeting. meeting.
I never expected that I would not be able to go back in a moment.
"How will Uncle Six deal with them?"
Just keep it. The bandits will definitely become suspicious if the eight people don't go back. It's only a matter of time before they come over.
Let it go. Don’t think about it, that’s absolutely impossible.
Cheng Xi felt a headache.
“Three hundred bandits who are capable of resisting are not a small number. The patrol team in our village killed 50 people, and most of them don’t know how to use force. They are no match at all.” It doesn't have an advantage, and its individual combat capabilities are still outclassed by the opponent.
Ashamed. Ashamed.
"The only thing left is to trap and defend."
"Fortify yourself and defeat more with less."
The husband and wife spoke almost at the same time.
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked up at each other again, and both saw the surprise and smile in each other's eyes.
