It's at Zheng Si's house next door.
There was no one inside.
"Big brother, there's no one here. Could they have known we were coming all along and were just messing with us?" the second brother said, pulling up his pants.
In recent years, the living conditions of every household in Group 9 of Niushan Village have improved considerably, so they have also robbed a lot of money from other households.
The bandit leader weighed the copper coins in his hand, in a good mood, and said, "Maybe they've just moved! Finding that big courtyard is the most important thing!"
A large courtyard?
Everyone was startled. They had clearly come for the Niu family, but apart from the Niu family, the only other large courtyard in Niushan Village was the old clan chief's house, which was a small, square courtyard.
As Niu Da heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, he raised his hoe, only to find that the footsteps were gradually fading away.
Niu Dacai put down his hoe.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
The Niu family's hearts were in their throats. The ones knocking on the door were none other than the bandits. "Open the door! If you don't, we'll break in and leave no one alive. Don't blame us!"
The door, however, was pressed tighter and tighter.
Xiao Heng said in a low voice, "Little Fu Bao, take your mother and the older sisters to hide in the back mountain!"
Little Fu Bao said, "Okay! Mom, you guys go to the back door!" She stroked the two dogs and said rather naggingly, "Little Flower, Little Black, bad guys are coming, give them a good beating!"
“Little Fu Bao, Mommy won’t go. Mommy is used to doing farm work and has plenty of strength. I can even help your daddy!”
The door was smashed open.
Everyone was neatly arranged in the courtyard.
Xiao Fubao was holding two machetes, Niu Baozhu was holding a curved knife, and Chen Yu was holding a sickle.
Niu Da had acquired a new machete, and the two families stood menacingly in the courtyard, startling the notorious bandits. The fourth brother whispered to the bandit leader:
"Boss, they wouldn't happen to do this kind of thing too, would they?"
The bandit leader glared at the fourth brother and went up to chop people. To be honest, those guys were also trained fighters. Although they weren't experts, they still had some skills.
Niu Da and Sang Yu's formation looked intimidating, but they were no match for bandits who killed and robbed. However, for some reason, the bandits, perhaps out of bad luck, slipped and fell heavily against the threshold.
Niu Da and Shen Yu had never dealt with bandits before, and were a little afraid to kill. Suddenly, Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei pounced on them, baring their teeth and tearing at the bandits, managing to bite off chunks of flesh from their bodies.
The Niu family was somewhat frightened.
They knew that Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei looked somewhat like wolves, but they had bought them from the market and didn't have any special feelings for them. Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei were usually very docile and wouldn't be so ferocious.
Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei bit the bandits, leaving them covered in wounds. But those bandits had killed people before, so killing dogs was a piece of cake for them. The leader of the bandits grabbed Xiao Hua, strangled her to death, and then threw her aside, saying viciously:
"Kill them all!"
In the village, several families who had been staying indoors gathered together, carrying weapons, and said:
"We can't just cower like cowards and hide away. Those thugs will come and rob our house sooner or later! Come with me, grab your weapons, let's go help Niu Dajia!"
Niu Jingwen and his brothers rushed out with their father.
Perhaps the bandits were just unlucky; as soon as they raised their knives, their feet slipped, and they fell backward.
After finally getting up, he was about to take the knife and chop down again when suddenly it felt like someone pushed him, and he fell forward haphazardly. This frightened both Chen Yu and Niu Da.
Xiao Heng hid Xiao Fubao behind his back.
Sang Yu hid Niu Cuihua behind his back.
Fortunately, the knife happened to strike the ground next to Shen Yu. When the man got up again, Shen Yu kicked him with all her might.
In the air, one could almost hear the sound of an egg breaking. The bandit was crouching on the ground, in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up.
Everyone was completely stunned.
The family members then got up from the ground, laughing, and said, "That's what you call a dumb chicken laying an egg, what a stupid chicken!"
Niu Da stomped on Lao Er's back and broke it.
Niu Da didn't notice the bandit leader at any time, as the group was engaged in a chaotic fight.
On the other side, Lao Liu, who was busy catching chickens, suddenly seemed to be possessed and stopped the bandit leader's knife: "Boss, you really can't kill anyone!"
They had actually killed several people already.
Suddenly, Xiao Hei lunged at the bandit leader and bit his neck until blood flowed out. The other bandits, seeing this, turned and ran away in fright.
The sixth brother was also frightened and ran away in a panic.
Niu Da and Niu Yong worked together to capture Lao Liu.
His testicles were kicked and his back was broken. Blood was still flowing from his pants. He couldn't escape in time and was caught by Zheng Si and Sang Yu and taken to the government office.
Magistrate Li of Lu'an County in Jiangzhou was over seventy years old and a muddle-headed official. It wasn't that he couldn't catch this gang of murderers and robbers, but rather that he simply didn't intend to.
At this moment, Zheng Si and Niu Da, along with three others, brought the bandit over. He couldn't very well refuse to accept him, so he immediately said:
"Put them in jail!"
Accompanying Niu Da and his group were the two surviving members of the two murdered families from Group 9 of Niushan Village. "Sir, aren't you going to hold court to hear the case?"
"How dare you question me!" Magistrate Li slammed his gavel and said, "I told you to go back, so go back and give your families a proper burial!"
Niu Da sighed.
When it was time to go home, Xiao Fubao wiggled her little legs and ran to Niu Da's feet, reaching out her hands: "Daddy, Xiao Fubao wants a hug!"
Niu Da picked up Xiao Fubao, and upon seeing his adorable daughter, his depressed mood immediately eased. "Okay, Daddy will hug you!"
Chen Yu asked, "Father, isn't the magistrate supposed to be investigating the case? Why is he back so soon?"
Niu Cuihua and Niu Meihua asked in confusion, "Yes, Dad, why are you back so early?"
"The magistrate has taken those people into custody immediately. What case are they being questioned about?" Niu Da said as he sat down.
Chen Yu took a few pieces of chilled melon and asked, "Dad, do you think those guys who ran away won't come back for revenge?"
Little Fu Bao took a piece and handed it to Niu Da, saying, "Daddy, Mommy, everything will be alright! Everything will be alright!"
"What does my second brother always say? When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, what's that again?" Niu Da couldn't remember for a moment, but Chen Yu said, "When water comes, we'll dam it with earth!"
“However, it seems the restaurant will have to close for the time being,” Niu Dadao said.
"Since we can't open a restaurant, we can take a break for a while. Let's finish making the pickled vegetables that people ordered, and some of the fruit in the vegetable garden is ripe. We're already too busy with our own crops! I think we should buy another two hundred acres of fertile land and turn that shop into a grain store!"
Chen Yu said:
"It's a bit of a pity! But once things calm down and everyone gradually forgets about this taboo, we can take another one, right?"
