"Then Senior Sister, why are you here? Are you really a ghost?"
"Where are you from? Why are you in our Tianhu Village? Have you been here before?"
"Senior sister, your martial arts skills are so high. Did you know this before, or did you become a genius?"
Because Xiao Li saved her and defeated so many officers and soldiers, Niu Jiuhua was grateful and admired him, and was not afraid at all.
She was completely like a little fangirl, so excited that her mouth never stopped talking and she was full of curiosity.
Xiao Li said irritably, "Shut up and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
How come the domineering little bandit who used to look pleasing to the eye suddenly became like a noisy little sparrow?
Let’s not talk about trivial matters, but I still want to remind you about the important matters.
"The government will definitely come back. You can't defeat them. Take your men and evacuate now, otherwise you won't be able to escape when the government troops surround you again."
Niu Jiuhua felt that Xiao Li was right and hurried to find Niu Tianhu. Niu Tianhu looked at the corpses of officers and soldiers piled on the ground and naturally knew that the government would not let it go.
"Let's move, right away."
However, although Niu Tianhu is the boss, he is not a strong and cruel person. Although everyone respects him, they are obviously not afraid of him.
Everyone was unhappy when Niu Tianhu said he wanted to move away.
When someone dies, they say they must bury their loved one and wait for them to celebrate the seventh day after death.
He also swore a fierce oath to fight with the officers and soldiers to avenge his loved ones.
The man whose house was burned down broke down and cried, saying that he had nothing left and where could he go?
Those who had escaped the disaster by chance and had no losses were also reluctant.
"Tianhu, there's war everywhere outside, and we don't have household registration. Where can we move to?"
"That's right. We finally settled down here and we really don't want to be displaced anymore."
In short, I just don’t want to leave.
The people under Niu Tianhu are the labor force of every household in this mountain. They follow Niu Tianhu through life and death for the common interests of everyone. They know that Niu Tianhu is powerful and can protect them, so they are willing to listen to him, but now they are not outside, and they also have to consider the thoughts of their families.
"Tianhu, those soldiers are just weaklings. There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's hurry up and set up more traps. No matter how many of them come, they will never return."
"What are you afraid of, Big Boss? There are so many of us, can't we defeat them?"
"Besides, we still have Jiuhua. She's so powerful that she can fight a hundred people at once. Those officials would be so scared of her that their legs would go weak. They might not even dare to come."
"Yes, there is also Jiuhua, she is a master of our Tianhu Village."
Niu Tianhu was almost persuaded. If he was afraid of the government, he would not have been a bandit for so many years.
They had fought with the government more than once or twice and were no longer afraid of it. However, this time the government suddenly surrounded them and somehow found their way to the mountain gate, catching them off guard.
So all we have to do is prepare well, set more traps, and repel the soldiers.
But when they mentioned his daughter, Niu Tianhu immediately shook his head: "No, Jiuhua can't do that."
He knew that his daughter Jiuhua's martial arts skills were not that high, and it was impossible for her to kill people without blinking an eye.
She was possessed by an evil spirit.
Although the evil creature was very powerful, he only wanted his daughter and he couldn't let Jiuhua take risks.
"Boss, we know you only have Jiuhua as your daughter. We feel so bad for her, but you can't bury her abilities."
"Yes, with Jiuhua here, we will definitely be able to defeat those officers and soldiers."
Niu Tianhu had a cold face and arranged for people to set traps. The rest of the people moved the supplies to a hidden cave on the opposite hill. Once the war broke out, the elderly and children would hide there.
Seeing Niu Tianhu's arrangement, they thought he had compromised, but in fact he turned around and went back to rummage through the boxes and drawers to pack Jiuhua's luggage.
A large bundle was stuffed into Jiuhua's arms.
"My daughter, go to the back mountain. There's a stone there grazing there. Just whistle and it will come. Ride it all the way northeast to Yuancheng."
Jiuhua was confused: "Dad, what are you doing?"
"My daughter." Niu Tianhu touched his daughter's hair, his eyes full of love and reluctance: "You are Daddy's good daughter, the most beautiful daughter."
He pulled out an identity card from his pocket and said, "Take this and you can go to Yuancheng. The money in the bag is enough for you to buy a small house. You can live there and wait for your father to come and find you."
Niu Jiuhua was no fool and immediately realized something was wrong: "Dad, what do you want to do?"
Niu Tianhu said solemnly, "No one wants to give up everything they have worked so hard to get, so they can only hold on to it."
Xiao Li felt that this cottage was doomed.
She is not a person who is afraid of trouble. If this mountain stronghold is full of desperate criminals, then she will be finished.
But this half of the population is composed of the elderly, the weak and the young. Although it is called a bandit's den, it is actually a more rugged village.
Not only did they have families to support, they also didn't have many weapons, many of them still used hatchets, not to mention armor.
In fact, those officers and soldiers were not very good at martial arts, but they had the advantage in equipment and numbers. If a few hundred people couldn't take down this stronghold, how could this stronghold withstand a thousand or a few thousand people?
Niu Jiuhua: "If I don't leave, how can I escape alone at this time?"
Niu Tianhu: "Jiuhua, Dad is the head of the village, and he has a heavy responsibility. He cannot abandon everyone without loyalty. But the village is not your responsibility. You are my only daughter, and I hope you can live with an upright identity."
This bear-like strong man is really a tough guy with a soft heart and a kind fatherly heart.
Niu Jiuhua was still driven out by Niu Tianhu, but she didn't want to leave. After a while, she hid behind a pile of stones where no one could see her and sat down.
"Senior sister, am I in trouble?"
Xiao Li ignored her, and Niu Jiuhua continued, "I shouldn't have brought that guy named Xu up here that day. Maybe he was the one who caused this."
The next moment, he suddenly became motivated: "No, I have to go find him and see what's going on."
Xiao Li: Not too stupid.
Niu Jiuhua went all the way to the back mountain and whistled to call Niu Tianhu's horse.
Just as he was about to go up, a tall figure came out from the shadows: "Jiuhua, where are you going?"
Niu Jiuhua was surprised: "Zhou Yang, why are you here?"
Zhou Yang came over and asked with concern: "I set a trap here. Shitou came over to see where you are going with your bag on your back."
Niu Jiuhua followed his gaze and looked at her bag, feeling a little guilty, but then she suddenly felt relieved when she thought that she was not really running away.
"I'm going to go to the government office to see why the government would send troops against us for no reason."
Zhou Yang's expression relaxed: "Is that so? Then I'll go with you."
Niu Jiuhua nodded quickly: "Okay."
Xiao Li landed on a tree trunk nearby and saw with his own eyes that Zhou Yang put away the hatchet hidden on his back.
