Chapter 102: Outflanking and Taking Them All Away
Xiao Chenxing and Hong Guo didn't say anything, they just took their weapons silently. Xiao Chenye looked at Wen Ran's back and was also worried. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
With the whole family joining the melee, and the negative buff brought by the mushrooms, the bandits were easily dealt with.
Everyone was determined not to take it lightly and searched each person's body one by one. Wen Ran also got some mushroom powder, mixed it well and fed each of them half a bowl of it.
"Okay," Wen Ran wiped the sweat off his forehead, "There's no problem now, just tie him up."
Hongguo stirred the mutton soup, "Sister! The mutton is cooked."
"have to!"
The aroma of the mutton soup was so tempting that Wen Ran's stomach started to growl after this interruption.
"Eat first," Xiao's mother panted, "Only when you are full and have enough water will you have the strength to deal with them."
"become!"
The soup made from fresh lamb was so delicious, the meat was stewed till it was soft and everyone gobbled up most of the pot.
The remaining food is not wasted. It is taken out and let to cool down, and then taken away with you when you leave.
"What should we do with these people?"
Xiao's mother was in a dilemma. "If I leave him alone, he will do evil things again when he wakes up. If I kill him..."
From the bottom of her heart, Xiao's mother didn't want to do this. She thought that the Xiao family was a good and honest family, and it was not appropriate for them to get involved in such fighting and killing.
“Take them away. No matter how many evil things they have done, we cannot handle them. We have to go find Third Brother anyway.
When the time comes, I'll hand it over to the third brother, and it'll be up to them how to deal with it."
Xiao Chenye, who had always been taciturn, said briefly, "I just looked around and there are three flatbed cars here that can accommodate everyone."
Wen Ran agreed, but was eager to try, "Take these cattle and sheep with you! And the horses, too."
"bring."
No white no belt.
It's a reward for the brave. Of course, if you need to hand it over to the military district...
Then just hand it over!
Anyway, I got a lamb to eat, so it wasn't too bad.
Xiao's mother was also holding back her anger. Upon hearing this, she almost emptied the small felt bag, especially the two iron pots. Those were all good things. She would give them to her daughter or take them back home.
Scarce resources.
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran were outside getting horses and carts. Seeing Wen Ran full of energy, Xiao Chenye was a little worried, "How did you do it?"
He looked speechless, "That one who was yelling for his mother..."
"Poisonous mushrooms. If you eat them, you'll have hallucinations."
Wen Ran smiled and said, "It's just like the last time I tried to fool the wolf, but failed."
This finally put her mind at ease.
"Didn't you eat too?" Xiao Chenye became nervous, "Are you dizzy? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Ah? Me?" Wen Ran blinked, wanting to say that he didn't eat, but...
"It's okay," she comforted him, "I only eat a few bites, and I can take a nap on the way back."
Everything was ready to go, and then the group encountered new problems.
As everyone looked at each other, Xiao's mother asked blankly, "Where are we going?"
Good question, don’t ask it next time.
The grassland was vast and sparsely populated, so it was impossible to ask for directions. Mother Xiao was so anxious that she twisted Father Xiao's ear and said, "It's all your fault. I told you to go on time, but you didn't. You were like a fly, buzzing.
I wanted to come early, but now no one is here to pick me up, and I can’t find my way back.”
Father Xiao cried out, "It hurts, it hurts, daughter-in-law, please save some face, the children are watching!"
"If you want to save face, why don't you have a brain?! If you hadn't been so annoying and changed the time, we would have come here three days earlier and wouldn't have encountered all these crap!"
"I just saw that you were fidgeting. Okay, okay, I was wrong. Even if you twist your ears off now, there's nothing I can do."
The younger generation looked up and down, but they didn't look at the flirting old couple.
Xiao Chenye's lips curled up a little, "What should we do now?"
Wen Ran stroked his chin, "Where is the old man driving the cart?"
"Tied to the carriage."
"Wake him up and lead the way for us."
Xiao Chenye's eyes lit up, "It has to be you, your brain works really fast, wait, I'll get him out right away."
There were few carriages but many people, and they were all squeezed together. It took a lot of effort to get the old man out of the crowd.
He ate little of the roe deer stewed with vermicelli, so he was woken up by a bowl of water.
He opened his eyes and stared straight ahead. Seeing this, Wen Ran calmly reached his finger into the bowl, secretly drew some space spring water, and asked Xiao Chenye to drink it for him.
He added quite naturally, "Well, give him a drink to wake him up."
"good."
In two minutes, the old man woke up.
The more cocky you were before, the more you cry now.
"Okay, stop howling like a ghost. Lead the way and send us to the place where we can talk nicely."
The old man hesitated, "Can you do it?"
Wen Ran silently took out the dagger and said succinctly, "Whether it works or not, whether you live or not, depends on your thoughts."
"...I'll lead the way."
After staggering along the way, it was already dark when they arrived at the place where Xiao Chenyue was staying.
Looking at the little girl who was screaming and stretching her neck on the bed, Xiao Chenyue's eyes were full of tenderness. "By the way, Chen Guang, if you don't have time tomorrow, I will go to the train station to pick up my parents."
"No need," Xiao Chenguang said, while eating. "I'll go."
"Aren't you busy lately?"
"It's not safe for you to go, especially with a child," Xiao Chenguang frowned and explained, "Don't run around recently. There are vagrants on the grassland committing crimes. For the time being, there is no clue to catch them."
"Ah?" Xiao Chenyue was nervous, "Then my parents..."
"It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
Before the brother and sister could come to an agreement, a neighbor came over, walked straight in, knocked on the door, grinned, and said happily, "No, you two are still eating?
Your family members are here, so many of them."
Xiao Chenyue: “?”
Xiao Chenguang: “?”
The two were at a loss. Six people couldn't be considered a lot.
Xiao Chenguang took the coat, and Xiao Chenyue hurriedly put clothes on the child, and asked casually, "How many people are there?"
"There are 20 or 30 people!"
Twenty or thirty people?!
The brother and sister were both shocked.
Not really.
Even if there are four people in the family, plus Xiao Wen, the educated youth, and Hong Guo, there are only six people in total.
Something is wrong.
Xiao Chenguang held the child in his arms, and Xiao Chenyue rushed to the front. When she saw Xiao's parents standing at the entrance of the village, she burst into tears.
Tears fell like beads from a broken string. He opened his mouth but choked up before he could even shout, "Mom~"
Xiao's mother looked at her daughter, so excited that she was speechless.
Good, good, I haven’t been wronged, my face has become plumper.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, except Xiao Chenguang, who stared intently at the people who had not yet been put on the carriage, as well as the ten horses, five sheep and two cows following behind.
Xiao Chenguang: “…”
He looked at his brother, "What did you do?"
"I met a man with bad intentions on the road," Xiao Chenye said calmly, "and I raided his lair and even captured him."
