During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 217 Village Gossip

“I was supposed to lead people on patrol to look for clues, so it’s still within my scope of responsibility.

"I just didn't expect that we would actually run into this group of people today!"

"So that's how it is." The Ye family sighed, "It's all thanks to Young Master Qin and Brother Mu!"

"It's okay, my trip wasn't in vain!" Mu Zheng felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

All along the way, the people under me kept whining and complaining.

Although he didn't say it, he actually didn't think that the Ye family would encounter any danger on the way back to the village.

Firstly, the road they took to return home was where the gang of bandits had committed murder and robbery before, so under normal circumstances they would not come back.

Secondly, the Ye family looked like an ordinary farming family, and they didn’t look wealthy, so they were not the target of this group of bandits at all.

But who knew that it was such a coincidence that the gang of bandits wanted to take advantage of the officials' psychology and deliberately chose to take this road in order to escape from Fengle County.

They were the first to discover Mu Zheng and his group following behind the old Ye family, and thought they were coming for them.

At this time, there were only two cars on the official road.

After discussing, the gangsters decided to rush out, rob two cars and escape in one, but they could never run faster than on foot.

Unexpectedly, just when they were about to rush out and end the battle quickly, they were frightened by the three arrows shot by Boss Ye right in the middle of their eyebrows.

When Mu Zheng led his men to rush forward, many people had almost lost the will to resist and surrendered after just a few gestures.

It can be said that he did it with ease and got a great achievement for free.

At this time, Boss Ye finally stopped crying and his mood gradually calmed down.

He found that his daughter's clothes were wet with her crying and her face was dark red.

"Brother Ye, are you okay?" Mu Zheng said with a smile, "If nothing is wrong, let's continue on our way. The smell of blood is too strong here, and you are all scared. Go home and rest quickly."

Speaking of going home, Sister Ye suddenly remembered Mr. Cen and asked quickly, "Is Mr. Cen okay?"

"Don't worry, he's protected by Shi Lei and Meng Yu, he's fine!" Mu Zheng said with a smile, "Besides, Mr. Cen is so old, he has seen all kinds of storms.

"Life in the palace is much more dangerous than this. After all, these swords are visible, but the swords in the palace are invisible!"

"Stop talking nonsense and getting your master in trouble!" said Elder Cen from the car behind.

"There are no outsiders here!" Mu Zheng smiled.

After a period of chaos, Mu Zheng arranged for some people to take the captured bandits back first.

He picked a few of his men and escorted Mr. Cen and the Ye family back to Rongxi Village.

Because the weather is good today, many village women are sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village as usual, chatting while doing their work.

Mrs. Wang Er had sharp eyes. Before the carriage came close, she immediately saw Ye Laosi sitting on the shaft and driving the carriage.

"Hey, look who's back!"

"Who is it?"

"Isn't that Ye Lao Si?"

"If not him, who else could it be!"

"He came back by himself? Where's his wife? Where's Fugui'er?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around burst into laughter.

"No matter how generous Ye Lao Si is, he can't bring Fuguier back with him!"

"Exactly, what are you thinking? You're making me die of laughter!"

"It's hard to say for sure." Madam Wang Er lowered her voice, pretending to be mysterious. "You don't know, but I heard from my wife that things are really chaotic outside the Great Wall.

"There are more men than women over there, so getting married is not easy. It's completely different from here.

"They don't value chastity that much over there, and a woman can marry many times.

"I heard there are cases where two or three men team up to marry one woman!

"So, Ye Lao Si was just cuckolded, it's not a big deal.

"Let's wait and see. They might have reconciled and are back to living together again!"

Wang Erniang's words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Is it still possible?"

"Oh my god, it's so embarrassing to listen to. Can those people outside the Great Wall still be called human beings? They are almost like animals!"

“Who says it’s not?”

"Really? Don't let them corrupt the morals of our village!"

"I see that Ye Lao Si seems to be in a good mood. He doesn't look like anything has happened at home at all!"

Amid the chatter of a group of women, the Ye family's car drove into the village.

"Are we buying new livestock and a new car?" someone noticed sharply.

"What are you buying? You must be renting." Upon hearing this, Madam Wang Er immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Who would buy animals at this time?"

"I don't know who's in the car!"

Although everyone seemed to be busy with their work, they were actually all staring at the Ye family's car out of the corner of their eyes.

Ye Lao Si was a little excited before because he had just vented his anger when fighting off the bandits, so his mood improved. He even took the initiative to help Ye Lao Da, who was not feeling well, drive the car.

But as he got closer to the village entrance, he could already hear the gossips of those gossipy women.

Although I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, I could guess what they were saying with my toes.

Ye Laosi's mood, which had been improving somewhat, suddenly fell to the bottom again.

But now they were almost home and the villagers had all seen him. There was really no need to switch places with Ye Lao Da, so Ye Lao Si could only bite the bullet and drive home.
