Chapter 127 Could It Be Bandits?
Liu Shiqi thought for a moment and said.
"If they are not fleeing, then could they be bandits?"
[I still remember that group of people from Hongwu Mountain Stronghold worked together with Hao Heng and his son! 】
[Then they entered the village and stole the village’s property and food! 】
[We almost massacred the entire village!] 】
[Young women were also ruined by those bandits! 】
Liu Changying and the others heard her thoughts.
Suddenly I remembered that she had mentioned this before.
However, both Hao Heng and his son were arrested. Will the people from Hongwu Village come again?
Liu Shiqi was also thinking about this question.
[Even though Hao Heng and his son have been locked up, it doesn't mean that the people of Hongwu Mountain Stronghold will let the village of Haojiagou go! 】
[The richest village nearby is probably Haojiagou Village! 】
Liu Changying frowned, thinking that Liu Shiqi's idea was correct.
The bandits from Hongwu Mountain Stronghold are active in the nearest county towns. He is also notoriously brutal and cruel.
The government went out many times but failed to catch them.
If they really come, it will be a big trouble...
Liu Shiqi suddenly thought of another thing.
[By the way, those men in black who were in Pan’s mansion before should have gone to Hongwu Stronghold that night! 】
[Then they must be looking for the people from Hongwu Village to settle the score!] 】
[Could it be that the man in black killed the leader of Hongwu Village! 】
[And these people who pretended to flee were actually the survivors of Hongwu Village? 】
[Then the purpose of their coming here cannot be just for some steamed buns! 】
[It must be for money!] 】
[Or maybe the man in black lost some money, so he sent the people from Hongwu Stronghold out to rob houses everywhere? 】
[So, this time, our village is the target? 】
Liu Shiqi shook his head, a little confused.
Liu Changying and the others followed Liu Shiqi's idea.
Everyone thought of a possibility.
That was a few days ago, when Haojiagou Village held a temple fair, the highest income came from offerings to the Qingshan Holy Mother Temple.
I heard from the village chief that it was as much as one thousand taels.
This matter is not a secret. It is estimated that the people in Hongwu Village have heard about it.
One thousand taels is nothing to a wealthy family.
But if it is given to a group of desperate bandits, it is a lot of money.
Plus the villagers’ savings and food.
Maybe it can help them make a comeback.
Hao asked with a worried look on her face, "This, this, this shouldn't be possible!"
Bai Shuang didn't know what Liu Shiqi was thinking, so she comforted him.
“Maybe it was because they had such a hard time on the road that the children and the elderly couldn’t hold on and died!”
"After all, children and the elderly are physically weaker!"
"So it's normal that you can't stand the long journey!"
Hao nodded.
"Yes, that's possible! We really can't be too arbitrary!"
Liu Changying thought about it and nodded.
The main reason was that he had not seen those refugees yet. I dare not draw a conclusion.
"Well, I'll go and see it myself!"
"in case!"
"You guys stay at home first, it's best not to go out!"
"Wait until I'm sure everything is OK!"
Hao held his hand worriedly and looked at him, "Then be careful!"
"Come back quickly if anything happens!"
"Don't let them find out!"
Liu Changying nodded, "Okay, don't worry!"
"I'll be back soon!"
Just at this time, Jiang Cuihua came over happily with some vegetables and exchanged them for two steamed buns.
Liu Changying said, "I'm just about to go to the village chief's place. I'll take it to you! You don't have to run anymore!"
Hao also said, "Cuihua, ask Changying to take it for you!"
"It's getting late, you should go back first!"
"We have outsiders in our village tonight!"
"We don't know what their character is!"
"So I told my family members not to come out unless necessary!"
Jiang Cuihua was stunned for a moment, "Is it that serious?"
Old Man Zhong raised his eyebrows, "What if they are people like Hao Heng and his son..."
Jiang Cuihua was stunned, and her face suddenly turned grim when she thought of Hao Heng and his son.
She nodded.
"Uncle Zhong is right!"
"You can know a person's face but not his heart!"
"Who knows who they are!"
Jiang Cuihua was also a little scared and left quickly.
Liu Changying also left quickly.
The Hao family closed all the doors and windows tightly, intending not to open the door unless Liu Changying came back.
At this time, it was completely dark.
The group of refugees were arranged by the village chief to rest temporarily in several uninhabited old houses at the entrance of the village.
After all the steamed buns had been collected, the village chief arranged for a few young and strong men to deliver them to them.
The village chief also prepared several large buckets of water for them to drink.
Liu Changying went to the village chief and happened to see him making arrangements.
So he took the matter directly.
He personally led people to load ox carts with steamed buns and water and delivered them to the refugees.
As soon as they passed by, a middle-aged man came up to them.
He was relatively clean and had no smell.
But the clothes were tattered and didn't fit. It's like wearing someone else's clothes.
The middle-aged man thanked Liu Changying and his group profusely, and kept saying nice things to them, free of charge.
The young men from the village who followed were all very embarrassed.
Everyone thinks middle-aged men are good people.
Liu Changying stood silently by, helping to distribute the steamed buns without saying a word.
He looks like an honest farmer who is not good at talking.
He handed over two steamed buns, and suddenly the other party spoke.
It turned out to be a woman.
"This big brother!"
"Can I ask you a favor?"
Liu Changying was stunned and looked at her.
Although this woman smelled and her clothes were ragged, her face was relatively clean.
Her pair of affectionate eyes made Liu Changying's scalp tingle.
He quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
The woman came closer and said.
"This big brother!"
"Don't ignore me!"
"I'm not a bad person!"
"I just want to ask you to get me some water so I can take a bath!"
"I haven't showered for several days. It's really uncomfortable!"
As she spoke, she pulled at her collar, revealing a patch of skin below her neck and...
Liu Changying's face suddenly turned dark.
He said coldly, "Please make way!"
"Next one!"
The woman froze, thinking she had misheard.
She pulled the corner of her mouth and continued.
"Brother, I..."
"Next one!"
Liu Changying didn't listen to what she said at all!
With a cold expression, he looked behind her.
All he’s missing is “get out!”
The woman looked at his expression and cursed in her heart, what a coward he is.
If another man was asked by her like this, he would definitely feel pity and get her some water.
The woman hit a snag with Liu Changying and felt a little unwilling to accept it.
So he turned and looked at Liu Changying.
Standing next to Liu Changying was Zhao Hua, who was also assigned to come here.
Zhao Hua looked at the woman looking at him.
He touched his nose helplessly and said, "There is a river next to us, we can go there to wash!"
“No one goes there at night.”
"Um, please make way!"
