Chapter 172: Human hearts are hard to predict.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuanbao's house is small, so he didn't buy any expensive furniture. All they had were the most practical and cheap things found in the countryside.
The round table set that Shi Maner gave was still intact because the robber wanted to take it away.
It was packed and loaded onto the wagon.
They had not had time to take away the food in the cellar.
When they came back, the food had been moved to the yard. Nothing was missing. Whole grains, fine noodles, sweet potatoes, bacon, etc. were all packed and sorted out and placed on their horse-drawn carriage...
The two horses and a dairy goat were both alive and well. They must have been what the robbers were planning to take away, but there was no chance to get them later.
In a word, the valuable items that could be taken away were all intact, while the doors, windows, furniture and other items that could not be taken away were all completely broken.
"The robbers are so bad!" Xiao Yuanbao groaned.
"That's right, those damn things..." Sanbao opened his mouth, but Erbao coughed and he immediately stopped talking.
Then, he slapped himself in the face.
You can't swear or curse in front of your sister, or you might teach her a bad lesson.
Also, what he wanted to say was not polite, so he might as well lead his sister astray.
When those damn robbers first entered the village, they harmed the people of Tangjia Village on the outskirts of the village. An old man was frightened to death, a child was trampled to death by a horse, and two beautiful young wives were dragged by the robbers to burrow in the grass. Then, one of the young wives jumped into the pond and the other hanged herself.
There are even more people injured, needless to say.
While resisting the robbers, many brave warriors of the militia company were injured and had their arms and legs broken.
Now when people in the village mention robbers, they always say the three words "bastard".
Sanbao got used to it.
It was Wang Tiangou who spoke again, "In the short term, no robbers will want to come to our Tangjia Village again. The government has sent people to investigate and arrested Tang Xianming's family in your village and put them in jail. The surrounding villages all know that hundreds of robbers came to Tangjia Village and none of them escaped alive. They say that there is a reincarnated Bodhisattva in your Tangjia Village who can stabilize the village and lead the ghost soldiers to kill robbers. Xiao Yuanbao, congratulations, you have become famous again."
It's congratulations, but there's no congratulations at all.
It is hard to say whether being so famous is a good thing or a bad thing for Xiao Yuanbao.
The human heart is hard to predict.
But the little girl couldn't think of that. After listening to Wang Tiangou's words, she looked proud and said, "Of course, the baby is the best!"
Sanbao said, "Yes, yes, my sister is the best."
By this time, Cai had finished cooking. The aroma of meat came from the kitchen. Little Yuanbao was born in the year of the dog and had a very sensitive nose.
"It's time to eat, little Yuanbao!"
"Here I come!" As usual, he ran happily to find food.
Dabao followed behind, and everyone was actually calm.
The government came to their house. All of them had been to the government. The interrogation of Tang Xianming's family for colluding with robbers required witnesses. Everyone in Tangjia Village was a witness, but the villagers were not aware of the matter of asking the ghost soldiers to kill the robbers, so the government specially called Dabao and others to ask about the situation.
I wanted to ask Xiao Yuanbao, but he was in a coma, so I didn't ask.
The town's chief clerk had met Xiao Yuanbao before when he was dealing with the Shunfeng Carriage Company, but he didn't make things difficult for him.
However, the incident was too serious, with hundreds of people killed and even the county magistrate resigned.
He led the troops to clear out the robbers' lair, because only the third-in-command of the robbers came, and Tang Xianming had two sons doing "business" outside, so there must be more robbers' lair. He took advantage of the morale and wanted to clear out the robbers' lair in one go. This would be a great achievement, and when it was reported to the higher authorities, it would all be the achievements of the county magistrate.
Therefore, the county magistrate summoned Dabao many times to ask about Xiao Yuanbao's condition and when he would wake up.
He wants to take Xiao Yuanbao with him to fight the bandits. If that doesn't work, he hopes that Xiao Yuanbao can lend him some ghost soldiers or help him out.
Dabao refused directly.
There are two reasons.
First, Xiao Yuanbao has consumed too much energy and no one knows when he will wake up, and he is still on the edge of danger.
Second, you can't borrow Yin soldiers whenever you want. There must be Yin soldiers on the scene. They can only be borrowed in special places like the extremely Yin land. Elsewhere, without Yin soldiers, small ingots cannot be borrowed out out of thin air.
The county magistrate then gave up the idea of taking Xiao Yuanbao with him.
It is better to suppress bandits sooner rather than later. Once the bandits get wind of the news, they might just pack up and run away.
Therefore, Tang Xianming's family was severely punished.
Tang Xianming had become rich in recent years and no longer worked in the fields. His body could no longer endure hardship, so after being beaten, he confessed everything he knew.
No one else in the Tang family knew about it except him.
He also had a son who was also a bandit. He lived in a mountain in the neighboring county and had a large-scale gang.
He had been there once.
The county magistrate ordered him to lead soldiers to suppress the bandits, giving him a chance to redeem himself for his crime...
I have been there for a few days, and I don’t know what the result will be.
Little Yuanbao sensed that the people behind her were not in high spirits, so she turned around and asked in confusion, "Big brother, second brother, brother Tengu, did someone bully you? Why are you so unhappy? Talk to me and I will help you beat them up!"
Erbao forced a smile and said, "No, it's just that we have to go to school tomorrow and I can't bear to leave my sister."
The little kid comforted her, "You can see him every day when he goes to the school to deliver food to his brothers. Is our big carriage okay?"
"That's right, sister is right! Sister can bring us food every day, and then we can see him."
Several people were also relieved.
Take one step at a time.
My sister is so amazing, someone will definitely want to take advantage of her in the future.
They must find a way to protect their sister.
There's no point in worrying about it, so just deal with it as it happens and see how the situation develops.
Dabao had never thought about taking the imperial examination to the end. He decided to stop after passing the examination and focus on studying. He let Erbao and Wang Tiangou take the examination to the end. His sister saved Wang Tiangou's life, so if Wang Tiangou takes the examination to the end, he will not ignore Xiao Yuanbao.
Now, he also wants to take a risk.
After so many years, who can recognize him?
"I'll have dinner with my sister first, then we'll pack our school bags and luggage and get ready to go to the school."
"Okay."
The children were worried because little Yuanbao was in a coma and had no appetite for the past few days.
It's fine now, I feel relieved.
All feel hungry.
Eat with an open stomach.
The dishes that Cai prepared today were mainly light, including winter melon meatball soup, steamed pork with rice flour and sweet potatoes, noodle soup with dumplings, steamed eggs with oil and some shrimps sprinkled on top, and stir-fried sausage with garlic sprouts...
Nutritious and healthy.
The whole family had a great meal.
Little Yuanbao especially likes meatball and winter melon soup and drinks three bowls in one breath.
These half-grown boys were all big eaters. Even though there was so much food, they finished every bowl and even ate up all the soup.
