As soon as these words were said, the police officers nearby were all dumbfounded. How could they arrest someone like this?
Looking for it again? What's the difference between that and notifying him in advance of escaping?
At this time, Chen Xiaobei realized that this was Cui Hongyu's meritorious service.
But he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he clasped his fists at He Laoqi, "He Captou, I wonder what I have for self-defense. What do you want to do with it?"
He Laoqi turned his head and looked at Geng Sheng. Geng Sheng said to his heart, "You have let him go, why do you still care about this little thing?"
He nodded slightly.
He Laoqi then waved his hand reassuringly, "It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about. Since it's your thing, just take it back."
After saying that, he led everyone away in a hurry.
After Chen Xiaobei counted the ten serial crossbows, he was determined to go to the county to find Cui Hongyu, but then he thought that it would be too eye-catching if he took these ten serial crossbows to the county.
I was worried about hiding in the wilderness, so I had no choice but to make one choice, and that was to wait.
Thinking of this, he sat down on the roadside. He stared longingly in the direction of the county seat.
He believed that Cui Hongyu would return home quickly after receiving the news. This is the only way to go. As long as he waits patiently, he will definitely see Cui Hongyu.
Liu Mansion.
Cui Hongyu saw Liu Rumei coming back and immediately rushed to greet her, "Miss Liu, my husband..."
Liu Rumei smiled calmly, "Everything has been arranged. Now you can go home and reunite with Chen Xiaobei."
Cui Hongyu was extremely happy, "Really?"
Liu Ce on the side laughed and said, "My lady never lies to others."
Cui Hongyu hurriedly pulled Chen Qiaoer to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Liu Rumei, "Okay, no need to be polite, go back quickly."
Cui Hongyu thanked her again, and Chen Qiaoer also raised her head, looked at Liu Rumei, her big eyes flashing, "Thank you, sister, you are so pretty."
What woman doesn’t want to be praised?
Liu Rumei smiled happily. She raised her hand and touched Chen Qiaoer's little head, "Okay, go home quickly, your brother is waiting for you at home."
Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer left the Liu Mansion and discovered that someone had put two large bags and a bundle on the donkey cart at the door.
Next to her, Ma Xiaoyi came over and explained to her that the two big bags contained grain, the baggage contained some dried meat, and there was also a jar of wine, which Liu Rumei had ordered.
Cui Hongyu didn't refuse too much. After thanking him, he took Chen Qiaoer and left. She also knew that since everything had been put on the donkey cart, she might not be able to refuse.
I owe the kindness to Liu Rumei, so I can only find a way to repay it.
Before driving the donkey cart out of the city gate, He Laoqi came back with a group of men.
When He Laoqi saw Cui Hongyu, he didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly, then quietly raised his right hand to his chest and pointed behind him.
Cui Hongyu understood. This was telling him that Chen Xiaobei was behind.
When things got to this point, Cui Hongyu finally got some peace of mind.
Sure enough, driving a donkey cart not far out of the city, I saw Chen Xiaobei.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei, Cui Hongyu couldn't wait to jump off the donkey cart, rushed forward, and immediately threw herself into his arms.
At this moment, Cui Hongyu understood how important this man was to him, and tears flowed down quietly.
Chen Qiaoer stumbled behind and ran over, holding Chen Xiaobei's hand, "Brother, brother, give me a hug."
this.
Chen Xiaobei was very speechless. Originally, he and Cui Hongyu were just friends. They held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. They were speechless and choked up. The atmosphere was already in place.
With Chen Qiaoer's words, the strong atmosphere in the scene instantly disappeared without a trace.
Cui Hongyu burst into laughter instantly. She quickly broke away from Chen Xiaobei's arms and wiped her tears.
"Okay, let's go home."
Chen Xiaobei picked up Chen Qiaoer and lifted her high into the air and spun her around a few times.
Chen Qiaoer laughed happily.
"Okay, Qiao'er, let's go find your sister-in-law." Chen Xiaobei took advantage of the situation and pushed Chen Qiao'er into Cui Hongyu's arms.
Chen Qiaoer was a little reluctant, but when she saw Chen Xiaobei's next move, she stopped saying anything.
Chen Xiaobei turned around and took out ten serial crossbows from the grass beside the road.
Cui Hongyu was frightened when he saw this, "Husband, why do you still keep this?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "It'll be fine if you keep it now."
The news of Chen Xiaobei's return spread throughout Hetou Village in an instant.
Lidong and others quickly rushed to the entrance of the village, surrounded Chen Xiaobei, asking questions.
"Oh, I just told the magistrate that our serial crossbows are for self-defense, so the magistrate let me go." Chen Xiaobei could only explain it this way. Of course it is not convenient to say the rest. It must be the Liu family who came forward.
The crowd gathered around the donkey cart until they arrived at Chen Xiaobei's house, and then reluctantly dispersed slowly.
Only Lidong stayed until the end. He and Chen Xiaobei looked at each other, understanding each other.
After entering the home, the two of them immediately came to the west courtyard. Lidong couldn't wait to say, "Brother, I asked clearly. Xiaobo Dayong and others went up the mountain with Chen Ping to dig ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. They said that Chen Ping told them that they found you secretly They dug up ginseng and Ganoderma and sold it to make a fortune, so they..."
This was expected by Chen Xiaobei. When he entered the mountain, he deduced that Chen Ping must have discovered something.
"Chen Ping is right. I discovered ginseng and ganoderma on the mountain. Originally, I wanted to wait for two days for us to go up the mountain together and dig out the ginseng and ganoderma, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen again."
Lidong shook his fist fiercely, "We originally planned to pull him out in the dead of night and beat him up to relieve his hatred, but we didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Chen Xiaobei clearly realized that Chen Ping had now become an unstable factor in the village. Chen Anbang had been the village chief for many years, and he had been the village guard captain for several years, so he still had some prestige among the villagers.
This time Chen Ping can secretly drag the villagers into the mountains to dig ginseng, but next time he will dare to lead the villagers to raise a banner and start a new business.
So how to properly deal with Chen Ping's problem gave Chen Xiaobei a headache.
"Brother Lidong, it's not a matter of beating me up now. He can report me this time, and next time he can say goodbye to others for other things, causing trouble and causing a mess in the village."
Lidong nodded, "Then I think we should just drive him out of the village."
It's not that Chen Xiaobei hasn't thought about it, but simply driving him out doesn't mean cutting off his connection with Hetou Village.
"There's no need to drive me out. I already have my own plans. By the way, I want to discuss an important matter with you. You can go back and find a place to build a few spacious houses."
"You want to build a yard again!" Li Dong looked surprised.
"No, I want the children in our village to go to school, and I will hire a good teacher from the county later."
Hearing this, Lidong looked surprised, "Is this necessary? There are not many children in the village who can afford to go to school."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "What if we don't charge tuition? Our village will bear all the expenses of the teachers!"
