Chapter 96: One by one, they floated away again



Xiu Li, who came with the child in her arms, was stunned when she heard this, just like Uncle Liu.

Her grandmother actually said such profound words. Was it because she knew too little about the old lady, or was it because the old lady burst out with profound wisdom while fleeing from famine?

But no matter what, she likes the changes in her milk.

Wen Liu also widened his eyes in shock. It seemed like he was meeting this mother for the first time.

The old lady smiled faintly. "Go down and think about it. If you have nothing to do, think about it and learn more. People really never stop learning."

Well, I remembered another sentence. I feel that the old lady's words now have more depth than those of learned people, but this depth also reveals the truth of life.

Is it an illusion?

Wen Liu didn't understand, but he bowed deeply to his mother and went to his wife with mixed feelings.

Wen Xiuli came over and looked at her with admiration. "Grandma, you are so amazing! No wonder my mother-in-law always says, don't underestimate any woman.

It is said that a good woman can make a family prosperous for three generations, while a bad woman can ruin several generations.

Grandma, you must be a good woman. You are influencing several generations of our Wen family.

"Thinking about the future of our Wen family, hahaha, grandma, why am I so excited!"

The old lady was so flattered by her cheerful granddaughter that she was at a loss as to what to do.

"You little girl, you haven't learned anything else in the past few years since you married into the Bao family, but you have learned to flatter people. However, I have to admit that these nice words are pleasant to the ear.

Why are you here now? Why aren't you with your husband? And why didn't you bring my baby with you? "

"Hey, grandma, it's my mother-in-law who asked me to come and thank you. If you hadn't asked us to join, there wouldn't be any income of five taels of silver for us.

I just happened to hear you say that. I wasn't being nice, it was what I felt from the bottom of my heart."

Bao Fengming, his two apprentices, and his two younger brothers were selected to join the guard team as soon as they arrived. They had made very good contributions before, so they were awarded the two silver coins per person in the guard team.

Because we have just joined, there are no household-based rewards yet. After all, if they are given out after just one day, others will definitely make a fuss.

But even the reward money for the five guards made Zhang very grateful.

"My mother-in-law kept saying that if you hadn't been with your in-laws, you wouldn't have had such a good time. She also said that you were destined to be rich.

Following you all the way, I not only feel safe, but I won’t be afraid even if I get sick. After all, we have three doctors in our field.”

It can be heard that Zhang is really grateful. The grandfather and grandson chatted for a few more words, and then hurried to clean up. After all, after cleaning up the battlefield, it would be a new journey.

Although the battle lasted most of the night, every household in Houshan Village had a smile on their face this morning.

Even the families who were seriously injured did not show their usual depression.

Everyone was busy packing up their things, talking about what someone had found while digging up a corpse, or what someone had found a pair of shoes that were 70% new.

Someone joked that those were worn by the dead, and that if you wear them in the future, you won't be afraid of people coming to your door. Otherwise, we can help you wear them.

The man spat at her, then cursed her, saying that she had already fled from the famine, so why should she be afraid of death? If someone came, she would give him a knife with something else.

After talking about stripping the corpse, everyone talked about the battle of the guard team last night.

"My boss said that facing that group of nearly a hundred bandits, I was actually very nervous. After all, they were used to killing people, and they were just a bunch of peasants.

But when we really faced each other, we were not afraid of anything. We worked in pairs, you attack and I defend, I defend and you attack, and with the help from us who joined later, we managed to injure those guys continuously.

Once they were injured, it was a real spectacle to watch them, some screaming and wailing from the itching, others trying to move, only to be chopped down.

Wow, those applied medicines are really effective! From now on, it won’t just be the men in our team who can fight. In fact, with those medicines, we women might also be able to fight.”

Xiushui smiled quietly as she heard everyone in the crowd praising the magic of the medicine. But after hearing their inflated ideas, she frowned again.

If they were given the illusion that medicine was enough, and they began to slack off on their exercise, that would be a mistake. This kind of thing must never happen.

Turning around, she found Li.

"Fifth Aunt, I just heard them talking about the power of the medicine, saying that in the future, both the elderly and children will be able to fight. If this continues, I'm afraid they will become arrogant in the future..."

Needless to say, Li also thought of it.

The people in this village had low morale earlier.

After several battles in a row, they became so bloated that they didn't even know their names.

"This is definitely not going to work. I need to sound the alarm for them and tell them to be more cautious."

"Well, besides, I, the one who refined the medicine, didn't go crazy, so why are they all going crazy? We were the only ones who were prepared last night.

Otherwise, if we really run into those bandits, it would be impossible for some of us not to die. "

Li nodded and turned around to call the guards over. She gave them a speech on the spot, reminding them that only when they are strong can their whole family be strong.

If you start to feel proud and think you are invincible just because you have gained some external help, that is definitely not a good thing.

The old village chief listened to what they said and also gave them a warning with a stern face.

“What happened last night was because we were prepared and on guard in advance.

If you hadn't been prepared in advance, you would have been scared and run away when someone attacked you like this. You still want to get reward for your merits. Ha, it's good enough that your family members didn't have to retrieve your bodies.

From now on, keep your skin tight. Until you reach your destination, you must not relax your training and vigilance. You must learn what you should learn and train what you should train.

If anyone is unwilling to cooperate and dares to cause trouble, we will not keep them in our team."

These words instantly brought down the villagers, who had been feeling elated after winning several battles, to the earthly realm. They were all on edge, fearing they would violate some village rule and be kicked out again...

However, some people are happy, while others are unhappy.

At this time, in the most remote corner of the team, Old Man Li was packing his things with a sinister look on his face.

Widow Lin was cooking, and Zhou Fengchun was in a daze with a gloomy look on his face.

Old man Li opened his mouth several times, trying to urge Zhou Fengchun to stop standing there, to clean up quickly, or to do some work, but in the end he closed his mouth again.

It's only been a few days since he was separated, and he already regrets it.

He glanced at the mother and son in front of him, then looked at his unfilial sons Li Da and Li Er, as well as the old woman whom he once wished so hard to kill.

Even though the old woman was fleeing famine, her hair was neatly combed. Noticing that he was secretly looking at her, she looked up and glared at him fiercely, spat at him, and stamped her feet on the ground.

The disgusted look and gestures told him that she no longer cared about him, and the sight of him made her feel as disgusted as spitting out saliva from her mouth.
