The yamen runner looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go to the next village and wait!"
He didn't want to stay in Xiangyang Village because he always felt it was eerie.
"Pa pa pa!" Tang Youyou was very rough and slapped the bandit three times to wake him up.
"Bitch..." Before he could finish his curse, Tang Youyou took his chin off.
He picked him up with one hand and walked away. This series of actions shocked the two yamen runners.
Seeing the two standing still, she turned her head and smiled slightly, "Let's go, where is Chengjia Village?"
The two yamen runners were terrified and swallowed hard, "Well, we'll go ahead!"
Yamen Runner 1: Could she be possessed by a ghost? How could she be so strong?
Yamen Runner 2: "There's something wrong with this woman. How can she carry a person like a carrot? That's too much! I was just asking about killing the bandits. Could she be the Butterfly Bandit?"
Thinking of this, he swallowed and slowed down his pace, suppressing his fear and trying to get close to Tang Youyou.
"Sister, how many people are there in your village?"
"Two hundred and sixty-four people, eight elderly people died this time, and another hundred people were taken away by bandits!" She said with a somewhat lonely tone.
"Ahem...don't worry, they won't be so arrogant for long!"
She nodded woodenly and said nothing more.
"Girl, is your village still haunted?"
"It's just a rumor. There are no ghosts in our village!"
The yamen runner continued to ask with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Sister, where are you fleeing from?"
Tang Youyou felt a little strange. She had never seen a yamen runner talk so much.
"There are two groups of people from our village, one in Tuzhou and one in Guangming County, Xuzhou!"
After saying this, she quickened her pace, feeling extremely annoyed. Why did they start checking the household registration?
Seeing this, the yamen runner did not ask any more questions, but just scratched his head. He felt that he seemed to have heard of Guangming County somewhere, but he could not remember where it was.
It was not until the end of the You hour that the large army arrived. Tang Youyou looked over and couldn't help but feel delighted. Wow, there looked to be around 200 people.
"Pa!" A slap woke the bandit up and then reattached his jaw.
"Show me the way, or I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"
Her actions and words shocked everyone present.
When the bandit saw the officers and soldiers with knives staring at him viciously, he couldn't help but shiver.
"You promised to let me go afterward!"
I thought she would hesitate, but she swore to the heavens without hesitation: "I swear to the heavens, I will let you go once you bring us to the destination. If you lie, God will strike you with lightning!"
Some stupid officers and soldiers wanted to speak out to stop them, but County Captain Zhang gave them a sharp look. They slowly lowered their heads and muttered in their hearts: "Is this woman a pig's brain? She's actually going to let go of the bandits she's caught!"
The bandit was delighted when he saw this, but he didn't notice that Tang Youyou winked at County Captain Zhang.
Zhang Xianwei: This woman is quite clever and strong. She can act as a forward and reduce casualties to her own personnel.
On the other side, Longwei Village was full of joy.
"Haha... Although we didn't harvest much today, these strong laborers are great!"
"Haha... I'd say those women look pretty good! They've finally been able to eat meat again after all these days..."
"Let's go, let's go see if there's anything delicious in the kitchen. I'm starving!"
Half an hour later, everyone was toasting each other and discussing where to rob tomorrow.
"Well... we'll have a day off tomorrow. Everyone has worked hard these past two days!" Liuzi announced.
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and cheered.
At the same time, two groups of people in the cave in the backyard stared at each other.
Suddenly, Butcher Zhang's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively: "Bai... Bai Dading?"
The man in the front suddenly looked up, his eyes full of surprise, "Brother Zhang?"
The man next to him, with a bruised face and nose, nudged him with his elbow and asked vaguely, "Which Brother Zhang?"
Butcher Zhang's eyes were filled with tears. "It's me... Butcher Zhang!"
Upon hearing this, the group of people on the opposite side were ecstatic, "Wow... I didn't expect to meet you here! Wow..."
Xu Da sighed, "Why are you here?"
"We've been fleeing all the way here, and before we could even catch our breath, we were kidnapped and brought here. This is already the third day, and our household registration has also been stolen. Woo woo woo..."
At this time, a bandit came over and shouted angrily: "Why are you crying? Didn't you bury your father?"
But the other person cried even louder, and the bandit came over and slapped him without hesitation.
"Cry, cry, cry, it's so noisy!"
Everyone was furious because Bai Dading's father had indeed died on the way to escape famine and his body had been stolen.
The bandit glanced at everyone, his warning clear: "If I hear you howling again, I'll pull your tongues out!"
He turned to look at Chief Bai, "Old man, I advise you to be sensible. The chief has spared your lives mercifully. If you still refuse, you and your tribesmen may not be able to escape death!"
The Bai clan leader leaned on his son, weak and powerless, his eyes cloudy, "I, Bai Jiuqing, am speechless in front of our ancestors!"
The atmosphere was sad. Butcher Zhang looked at the wall, wondering what the village was like now.
Looking at the more than one hundred people in front of me who were emaciated, with chapped lips and disheveled appearance, I couldn't help but feel a lump in my throat.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way. We've already settled in Xiangyang Village!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the person opposite him lit up, but dimmed again after a few breaths.
"You've already settled down and you've been tied up? These damn bandits are doing all sorts of evil. We haven't had anything to eat or drink in two days! How could we possibly escape?"
Butcher Zhang and Xu Da looked at each other. Butcher Zhang turned around, suddenly lay down, and raised his hands that were tied behind his back high.
Xu Da gritted his teeth, swallowed his saliva, and bit the rope.
Seeing this, everyone immediately followed suit!
Before he could bite it off, the bandit heard the noise and came back.
"Hey... you're so brave? Still want to escape?"
Sticks flew everywhere, hitting everyone. Everyone groaned but did not cry out.
"Heh... pretty tough!"
The stick was about to fall again, but Chief Bai stopped him, "Stop... Stop..."
The bandit didn't listen to him at all, and was furious. Damn it, why can everyone else eat and drink well, while he can only stay here to guard these stinky mud legs? He is so fed up.
He took out all his anger on the stick.
Finally, someone fainted from the pain.
Seeing this, he smiled evilly, "Heh... If you have any more evil ideas, I can't guarantee the stick in my hand!"
The people on the opposite side gnashed their teeth and stared at him intently, wishing they could tear him into pieces.
Datong, the son of the Bai clan leader, cried out in panic, "Dad... Dad, wake up, don't leave me..."
He was extremely scared. As he walked along, he found that only his father and he were left in the family. His mother, son, wife, and younger brother's family were all gone.
Everyone was also extremely panicked. The Bai and Liu families had relied on the command of Patriarch Bai all the way. He had undoubtedly become the backbone of everyone.
