The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 103

When everyone saw the Lu family's arrival, they gave way. The gatehouse was originally built for everyone to stay during the night watch, and it was quite spacious.But now that there are more than [-] people crowded, I can't stand up.

Uncle Guo escorted the juniors to the back room, and only then did Xiaomi see a group of thieves kneeling in the middle of the ground.

She couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's going on?"

The two young men who were watching the night hurriedly admitted their mistake with red faces, "Xiaomi, we slept too soundly, we didn't hear these boys jumping through the gate. If it wasn't for this kid who wanted to pick the latch and come in to steal something, I'm afraid it would be..."

The young man kicked the boy who was kneeling on the outermost side while he was talking. The boy was in pain, raised his head and cried loudly, his immature face was full of despair and panic.

Xiaomi's heart softened, and when she was about to speak, Feng Jian pulled her sleeves and sat down on the chair. Finally, she asked in a deep voice, "Well, who asked you to come? What is it for?"

The little thieves were crying loudly, but after hearing this, they shut up immediately for some reason, as if those cries just now were the hallucinations of the old and young masters of Laoxiongling.

Feng Jian sneered and waved Gao Ren to move.

Gao Ren curled his lips, but he still stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab the thief who was about to steal the padded jacket, and asked lazily, "Cut hands or stomp feet?"

The little thief was only ten years old, and Gao Ren seemed to be no better than a pheasant in his hands. Hearing this, he was completely frightened, and suddenly cried.

Big tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, leaving ruts on his somewhat dirty face, which was much more embarrassing than before.

Some villagers couldn't bear it, so they wanted to ask for mercy, but Xiaomi stopped him with a look.

Although she also looked distressed, she trusted Feng Jian with everything. He is not a harsh and cold person, and there must be his intentions in doing this.

Sure enough, Niu Sheng, the oldest among the thieves, couldn't hold on anymore. He stretched out his hand to push away the brothers surrounding him, and shouted, "It's me, it's all my idea, I want to steal your vermicelli to pay back the money! This matter It has nothing to do with Ergou and the others, if you want to kill me, just kill me!"

"Humph!"

Feng Jian sneered, but refused to order Gao Ren to stop. Gao Ren shrugged, picked up the little thief named Ergou and walked out.

Niu Sheng was so anxious that he wanted to get up to stop him, but he couldn't move his legs. The thieves were also crazy and wanted to go forward to snatch Ergou back, but they were bound tightly and could only roll on the ground like insects.

Feng Jian was unmoved at all, and added lightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, you will find out when you go to the city to find out. But if there is anyone else in the lair, we will deal with it together!"

"No!"

This sentence completely broke Niu Sheng's heart, after all he was only in his teens.

"I say!"

The little thieves were startled, and tried their best to get back to Niu Sheng's side, yelling, "Brother Niu Sheng, Liu Laowu will sell the girl and the others to a dirty place!"

Niu Sheng struggled to get up to Xiaomi and Feng Jian. He stared fiercely at the two of them for a long time like wolf cubs. He didn't know what he was sure of. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I say so, can you promise not to kill us?"

Feng Jian's expression remained the same, and he raised his hand and was about to wave it down. The last trace of luck in Niu Sheng's eyes finally disappeared.He suddenly shouted, "I said, Liu Lao Wu in the city arrested our two younger sisters and told us to release them as long as we stole that kind of vermicelli and send them to us. If we can get the prescription, we will give us a year's ration! "

Feng Jian raised his eyebrows, and Niu Sheng hurriedly added, "That's it, I dare not lie!"

Feng Jian nodded slightly, but still ordered, "Go!"

Niu Sheng's eyes turned red, and he was about to bump his head into Feng Jian, who was not counting his words.It's a pity that his injured leg couldn't support such a big movement, and he fell down before standing up.

He did not give up and still wanted to resist, but he heard Er Gou shout, "Woo, brother Niu Sheng!"

Niu Sheng looked back, and it turned out that Ergou was still kneeling on the ground, but Gao Ren was nowhere to be seen.

Before he could figure it out, Xiaomi had already opened his mouth, "Untie these children and wash them up. If anyone has an old coat, they will come here for an emergency. Also, fix some food and pad their stomachs."

"Okay, Da Zhuang's old coat from last year hasn't been removed yet, so I'll find it right away."

"Oh, I'm going to cook porridge and boil water."

The ones who spoke were women from various families. Originally they were still at home guarding their children and causing people to panic. When they heard that a group of children had come to steal things, they braved up and came down to find out what happened.

Just now, she thought that Feng Jian was really going to cut off Ergou's arm, and she was very worried, but now seeing Xiaomi speaking, everyone was full of motherhood, so she hurriedly made up her mind.

Niu Sheng and the others were still a little terrified, struggling and not knowing what to do.On the contrary, Boss Lu stepped forward to help untie him, but Er Gou suddenly cried, "I know this big brother, he gave me steamed buns, it's completely useless!"

Boss Lu kept his subordinates, and quickly untied all the seniors. He seemed to feel guilty for not standing up just now, and he didn't want the seniors to misunderstand his sister's viciousness. He explained in a low voice, "You guys Don't be afraid, my sister is very kind-hearted, just now... yes, um, you will know in the future."

Er Gou didn't care about that, he was starving to death, but that steamed bun saved his life.He didn't trust the savior, so he hugged Boss Lu's arm directly, "Benefactor, please don't kill us, we didn't steal anything!"

Before he could say anything, Niu Sheng had already slapped him on the head.

He was also frightened just now, and now he has come to his senses, if he wants their lives, why would he need to find clothes, boil water for washing, cook porridge for their stomachs?

Maybe, they got lucky this time and met a good family...

The women's hands and feet are very fast, and it didn't take much effort. The half-sized children washed their hands and faces with warm water, and put on the old jackets of the naughty children. Although the size is not so suitable, it is much more neat than before. up.

Seven large pottery bowls were filled with steaming corn porridge, which was golden and attractive, and the leftover steamed buns from the day, plus a large bowl of pickles, were all piled up on the table. He straightened his eyes, and couldn't believe that these meals were prepared for them.

Aunt Liu touched Ergou, the youngest, and felt very sad, "You children are refugees who used to live in shacks outside the city? It's really pitiful. I thought you went to the south for the past six months, but I didn't expect you to be still with us. Bei'an. Let's eat first, fill your stomach, and talk slowly when you have something to say."

Niu Sheng glanced at the crowd secretly, and saw that although many men, women and children in the room looked tough and vicious, they really didn't look like they were going to feed them.So he said in a low voice to the little brothers, "Eat...eat!"

Before his words fell to the ground, the half-children were already crazy, quickly picked up the porridge bowl in front of them, and poured the steaming corn porridge into their mouths directly by raising their necks.

"Oh, these children are hot!"

The women hurried forward to snatch the empty bowls, and when they filled the new porridge, they shook it again and again before sending it up again.Seeing that the half-children were choking on the steamed buns and almost rolled their eyes, some mischievous boys sneaked out to watch the fun, couldn't help laughing out loud, and were directly hidden behind by the collars of their father's clothes.

The world is impermanent, misfortunes and fortunes never count.

Looking at these children now is pitiful, isn't it true that the old Xiongling, if there is no Lu family to take care of them, only relying on autumn hunting, they will eat their last meal without their next meal.In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the children of the family may also be displaced outside like these children, without food and clothing.

Boss Lu was smearing medicine on Niu Sheng's swollen calf while persuading him, "Eat slowly, there is no shortage of food at home. You should stuff your stomach first, and there will be more food tomorrow."

Niu Sheng just paused when he put the steamed buns in his mouth, turned his head and saw Boss Lu's expression was full of pity, without any contempt, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, turned over and fell off the chair, then knelt Kowtow down, "Great benefactor, we shouldn't come to steal things, but we really can't survive. Please take us in. We are willing to be cows and horses, willing to work, willing to... anything, just give us a bite." Just give us a thatched hut to eat and eat.”

"May the good people keep us!"

The rest of the half-children also hurriedly knelt down, Xu Shi was very hungry on weekdays, Er Gou hadn't forgotten to hold the steamed bun in his hand, and kept the steamed bun in his heart when he kowtowed.Such an appearance made everyone sigh.

Boss Lu was already very willing in his heart, but thinking that his younger sister was in charge of the family, he looked over expectantly.

The life of the Lu family is easier now, and the Fenfang is a huge profit. Of course, Xiaomi is not short of the rations of a few children, but they came here tonight, there are other hurdles to be prepared for, it is best to wait.

Besides, Feng Jian played the black face before, now she jumps out to be a good person, so where does she put him...

"Brother, don't worry, let the children eat first, Gao Ren has gone out, let's talk about it when he comes back."

Boss Lu made sense after thinking about it, so he went to help Niusheng, and the rest of the village also helped, and soon settled the children at the table.

Although the children were still eating and drinking, they were much slower than before, and even vaguely dared not open their mouths.It seems that they are afraid that everyone will dislike them for eating too much and refuse to let them stay.

The women exchanged glances with each other, if it weren't for Xiaomi's usual "prestige", they would all want to take a child back home.

At such a time, Gao Ren came back.

He was originally short, about the same as a seven or eight-year-old child, but he actually carried two seven- or eight-year-old girls in his hands, looking very strange.

The two female dolls have already fainted, and they were obviously frightened.Gao Ren threw them to the ground with disgust on his face, and shouted, "These two dead girls, I don't believe anything, I can only knock them out and bring them back."

Niu Sheng threw away the bowls and chopsticks and threw himself in front of him, "Girl, little flower, wake up, wake up!"

Gao Ren said it harshly, but in fact, he would not have really done anything cruel to the two girls, even if he brought her back just now, he also tore his back clothes.

Xu Shi heard a familiar voice, and Aunt Liu helped to drink a few mouthfuls of warm water, and the two little girls woke up quickly.
