Lao He almost settled old and new grudges together and beat Li Daniu to correct his moral conduct.
If it weren't for Li Daniu's youngest son holding a wooden knife, he would follow Li Daniu to stand guard.
It is estimated that Li Daniu has no face left at all.
After returning home, I found that Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue hadn't gotten up yet, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
I saw that there was a plate of dumplings on the table.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"I can't tell that this kid has a conscience."
"What happened last night has finally been settled!"
"It's his grandma's fault. It's not easy after so many years!"
Lao He muttered, went into the room and took out a jar of wine from under the bed. He didn't care that the dumplings were cold, and sat down, happily preparing to eat and drink.
"Hey, hey, hey."
"this is mine!"
"My wife finally bagged it for me!"
"what did you eat?"
"Go and make some on the stove yourself!"
Before Lao He picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth, Zhang Bao happened to come out with his clothes on and saw him.
He quickly grabbed it.
He wolfed down a few mouthfuls.
Lao He was so angry that his eyes almost flew out.
"you you you!"
"I'm so angry!"
"I'm on a hunger strike! I'll starve to death!"
Lao He angrily carried the wine and walked towards his house.
Su Xiaoyue listened to the quarrel between Zhang Bao and Lao He in the room, and wanted to get up and take care of things.
But when his body moved, he felt extremely soft.
After holding on for a long time, he didn't get up and fell asleep again.
This enemy had been tormenting him all night yesterday, and he didn't let him go until dawn...
It seems that I must find a concubine for my husband as soon as possible in the future. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be able to lose his beauty at such a young age?
He was clearly sick before, but now he's like a wild beast.
I really can't bear it anymore...
…
The days before and after the Chinese New Year were quite peaceful.
The bandits did not attack for a while, and the tension among the villagers also relaxed a lot.
Plus it’s almost fifteenth.
We also need to start preparing for the work in the ground.
The villagers inside Wubao also went to the villages and fields outside Wubao to be busy.
Zhang Bao also knows that he can't hide in Wubao forever and sit there in vain.
They asked the villagers to ride on horseback on the hillside outside the village to keep watch in case the bandits were spotted coming down the mountain.
Return to the village immediately and report.
Thus.
It can also avoid a major crisis.
And after the New Year.
It was obvious that there were more people coming and going on the mountain road.
There are also many refugees mixed in among them.
After a great disaster there will be a great epidemic.
The epidemic was very severe in many places, and everyone who could move around had fled.
In addition, wars broke out in many places.
But the news in Hezhou is relatively peaceful.
I don't know who took the lead, but all these refugees gathered towards the border of Hezhou.
This made Mr. Fan, the governor of Hezhou, very anxious.
This refugee situation has never stopped since ancient times.
Although it facilitated the collision and exchange of customs and experiences between various places, it was also a major source of bandits and bandits.
In good times.
Perhaps the idle land can be used to resettle the refugees and engage in production, so that things will gradually settle down.
But most of the time.
There is no such opportunity.
For survival.
There are also not a few people who turn into bandits.
There are more roosters, dogs, and robbers, causing trouble.
What's more, refugees will bring many diseases and the like.
It has always been difficult to dispose of properly.
"Uncle He, I see the number of refugees increasing day by day, but why don't I see anyone from the government imposing restrictions?"
"If this continues, I'm afraid the dove will occupy the magpie's nest!"
Zhang Bao said after listening to the news about the refugees.
"Who says it isn't?"
"It stands to reason that if there are really refugees, they will either be blocked or dispersed. What's going on now?"
"Why don't you care?"
Lao He was also very puzzled.
According to common sense, the superiors should not ignore this. After all, if these refugees arrive in various places, it will be difficult to manage them.
They often clashed with local people.
Seeing the number of refugees increasing, something terrible must have happened.
In today's society, information transmission is particularly inconvenient.
In addition, Zhang Bao and the others were in a corner, and the news was even more blocked. They had no idea what was happening outside.
I only heard about wars and deaths from the mouths of refugees.
Not much useful value.
However, Zhang Bao accidentally heard the governor's plan before, and had a vague feeling that the current messy situation seemed to have something to do with this unpredictable governor.
"Master!"
"Oops, something happened!"
Zhang Bao was analyzing the recent situation with Lao He and the others at home, when a villager walked in in a panic.
"What's wrong?"
"Speak slowly!"
Zhang Bao said slowly.
No matter what happens, if Zhang Bao panics, the people below will lose their backbone.
If I could act calmly, the people below would naturally not be too flustered.
During this period of time, Zhang Bao was also consciously adjusting his state of calmness in the face of danger. At this time, he saw the villagers coming in in a panic.
Naturally, you have to act calmer.
"Today, several children in the village sneaked out while the adults were not paying attention, and they have not come back until this hour."
"The Li family has sent people to search outside the village, but they still haven't found it!"
The villager said breathlessly.
"The child was lost?"
"How many hours has it been?"
Zhang Bao was a little anxious when he heard this.
"It's been three hours!"
"This has never happened before!"
Zhang Bao couldn't help being shocked after hearing this.
The dolls in the village have always been very sensible.
I have been in Wubao before and can help with many things.
It was only recently that I started leaving the village.
There’s no way he won’t go back for three hours!
There must have been some accident.
Zhang Bao's mind started spinning rapidly.
It is winter at this time, there is thin ice in the river, and the water is not deep, so it should not be a big problem.
Presumably those villagers have already looked for it.
If there is, it will definitely be discovered.
If it wasn't an accident, it would have been a victim.
There are a lot of refugees recently, and they don't have enough food and clothing. In times of great disasters, there are a lot of people who have to exchange their children for food.
If it really gets into their hands, anything could happen.
Then there are the bandits from before.
I suffered such a big loss in Hejian Village last time, and I went to Wubao to see it in person. I know that it is difficult to attack by force, and it is very possible to use this crooked trick!
How careless!
Zhang Bao was a little annoyed.
I didn’t expect that they would start with children.
"Old He!"
"You should immediately take a few people with you and go to the nearby refugee settlements with knives to look for them!"
"Lao Hu, go to the mountain roads of Erlong Mountain and Qinglong Cave to see if there are any traces of your visit to us."
"There are several children, and it's such a long distance, they must be able to ride horses!"
Zhang Bao said to Lao He and Hu Dugu.
The two quickly led their horses and ran out.
"Walk!"
"We asked everyone in the village to go out and search around the village!"
Zhang Bao took the villager and hurried out.
We have searched all the places around Hejian Village, but we still haven't found a few children.
Then it can basically be concluded that something happened.
These two possibilities, no matter which one they are, the results are not very optimistic.
In the Li family courtyard.
Everyone's expressions were heavy, and many women were still sobbing.
Among the four missing children, three are from the Li family.
One of them is the grandson of Mrs. Li, Zhang Bao's biological son, Hu Zi, who is sworn to his brother Li Yan.
As soon as Mrs. Li learned the news, his eyes darkened and he fainted.
Everyone in the Li family also had no idea. When they saw Zhang Bao and others walking in, they all stood up.
"Brother Li, I asked someone to inquire about the news. It may not be very good!"
Zhang Bao hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said.
After hearing Zhang Bao's words, everyone in the Li family gathered around.
"Lao Hu found a lot of footprints on the way to Erlong Mountain, and he also found this."
Zhang Bao took out a tiger head hat from behind his back.
The moment a woman saw the tiger hat, she cried and rushed towards him.
"My tiger!"
"My miserable doll!"
"I'm not alive anymore!"
This person is Hu Zi's mother.
Hearing the noise in the yard, Mrs. Li walked out of the house with a cane.
When I saw my grandson's tiger head hat, I almost fainted again.
Li Yan clenched his fists tightly on one side.
He was about to rush out, but was held tightly by everyone in the Li family.
"Master, Master!"
"The bandits have sent something!"
At this moment.
The villagers standing guard at the gate of Wubao walked in holding a small box.
