Chapter 150 Back to the Carbine

After going down the mountain, before reaching the entrance of the village, they saw a mess all over the ground, some fruits and vegetables were trampled to pieces, and some dead bodies of poultry and livestock. Liu Man'er didn't recognize the corpses, but the people behind her took a step forward and said, "It's Old Yan's family."

Among them, the death of Lao Yan's woman can be described as extremely miserable. Liu Man'er almost vomited when she saw it. What she was most afraid of was death.

But this time, these people died beside her, even under her nose, which caused some haze in her heart for no reason.

"Which one of you take off your clothes and cover them for her. We'll come back and bury them when it's all right." Liu Man'er said to the young people in the village behind her.

"Okay." These people selected by the village chief were good young people in the village, and one of them immediately took off his coat and covered it up for the old Yan's woman.

Although this old Yan Liuman'er didn't know him, he had heard of him. He was a famous iron rooster in the village. His car was right next to him, and the things on it had been turned over in a mess.

Liu Man'er could imagine the scene at that time, she must have been reluctant to part with those things in the house, and had to pack up the bits and pieces, but was caught by the horse thief chasing after her.

It's just pity for his wife, she must have suffered a lot, seeing her with bruises all over her body, also as a woman, Liu Man'er felt uncomfortable.

"Let's go, let's go to the village to have a look." Liu Man'er took out the bow and arrow on her body, held it in her hand, and was ready to shoot. She was worried that there might be horse thieves hiding in the village.

After entering the village, everyone's eyes turned red. Their homes were ruined by these horse thieves. There were ruins everywhere, and green smoke was even rising from the roof beams.

"Go around the village first to see the situation." Liu Man'er said that she wanted to invite everyone to go and have a look, because many young people wanted to go to their own homes to put out the fire first.

After hearing Liu Man'er's words, they followed Liu Man'er around to make sure that there were no horse thieves left, and then went to the mountain together to inform everyone to come down.

But Liu Man'er felt her eyelids twitch inexplicably. Seeing that everyone was pushing things and preparing to go down the mountain, she walked up to Li Chang and said, "Li Chang, do I think we should wait?"

Liu Man'er was worried that after these damned horse thieves plundered from here, they would kill one of them.

"You mean?" The chief was also a little scared.

"I'm worried that they will turn back." Liu Man'er said, "If such a big thing happened, the court will definitely investigate it. Is there any place for these horse thieves to hide? For example, what kind of cottage?"

"There is a Shanzhai called Yaozi Village. In the early years, there were some bandits on it. It is not far from our place, only a few dozen miles away. If these horse thieves really want to go to Yaozi Village, wait until they finish robbing the area. , may pass by us."

"Life is precious." Although she was also very worried about her own family, Liu Man'er still felt that safety came first.

"Then wait a little longer." The chief said, and then shouted loudly to the crowd, "Wait a little longer, in case these horse thieves come back to their carbine."

"The horse thieves are gone, how could they kill the carbine!" Some people didn't believe it, and said cursingly: "If we don't go down, the beams of my house will be burned. It's still cold, and there will be no house by then, where should we live! "

Liu Man'er sighed and let them do whatever they wanted, anyway, she couldn't control so much.

The head of the village was also very angry, and shouted: "I'll put my words here, go back if you don't want your life, wait until something happens, don't come to us!"

"My lord, it's not that we don't want to die, it's because the house is there." A villager said, "And the chickens and ducks we raise. If we leave later, those animals don't know where to go."

As soon as the villager's words came out, everyone started whispering. With so many people, each of them said a few words, and the mountain was boiling instantly.

Ye He pulled Liu Man'er's wrist worriedly, and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go back too? There are so many chickens and ducks in our house."

As she spoke, she glanced at the villagers in the village, waved to Liu Man'er, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, these people are going down in a hurry, maybe they want to catch other people's chickens. Those chickens and ducks are already jealous."

"Don't care about them." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "The chickens and ducks are gone, we will raise them again at that time, but if the lives are gone, they can't come back."

"Okay." Ye He nodded, quite worried.

And those villagers hurried down the mountain, Liu Man'er sneered in her heart after seeing it.

Horse thieves are scary, but what is even more frightening is people's hearts. After listening to the two horse thieves, Liu Man'er knew that they were actually ordinary farmers who just put down their hoes and took up their butcher knives.

And what are these people who are anxious to go down the mountain thinking?One wanted to go down early to retrieve their own poultry and livestock, while the other wanted to go down the mountain early so that they could go to other people's homes to pick up sheep to make up for their own losses.

Needless to say, Liu Man'er's family is the richest, so many people must be targeting her family.

More and more people were walking down the mountain, but Liu Man'er remained motionless on the mountain, and she even said to Aunt Han, "Aunt Han, cook in the pot, I'm already hungry."

"Yeah, let's cook first." Fang also said, "Yesterday everyone packed things in a hurry and didn't eat dinner.

So, Aunt Han and Han Fang set up a pot to cook, Ye He and Cao'er went to pick wild vegetables, while Han Ping went to pick up some dead branches around.

The head lady walked up to Liu Man'er and asked: "Miss Ye Yuan, are you sure you won't go down?"

"I'll wait until later." Liu Man'er replied.

The head lady reminded: "You have to know, the more people in this village, the more thoughts there are. Many people are thinking about your family."

"Let them think about it, and come back when all the money is gone." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "Anyway, I will recognize whoever took my things, and I will let them return it when the time comes."

"Okay." The head lady sighed, and said with a shy face: "I came out early yesterday, and the pots and pans were not cleaned up, and my two children are indeed very hungry. Can you Cook more rice? When I go down the mountain, I will return the rice and noodles to you."

"Come and eat together." Liu Man'er didn't say much, and directly called them over, and then asked Aunt Han to cook some food, while she went up the mountain with a bow and arrow.

"I'm going to hunt two rabbits back." Liu Man'er told Fang and the others: "Don't run around, let alone go down the mountain, you know? According to my speculation with the village chief, the horse thief is very likely to come back. "

"Okay, I know." Fang nodded in agreement, with a worried expression on his face.

Liu Man'er also sighed, and went into the mountain with a bow and arrow on her back.

How long had she been hunting in the mountains?I can't remember it anymore, it's been almost a year. Fortunately, following this group of hardworking children, the bow and arrow are getting smoother and smoother, and now they can come in handy again.

Walking all the way up, the noise in my ears finally subsided slowly, and the sound in the forest reached Liu Man'er's eardrums. Liu Man'er walked all the way to the place where the sound was heard, and successfully shot a pheasant, and picked it up by the way. A few wild eggs.

It was also because of her luck that after harvesting, she came down the mountain. At this time, Ye He and Cao'er also picked some wild vegetables nearby, and went to the stream to wash them together. Liu Man'er simply boiled the chicken and various wild vegetables together , Make a cauldron dish.

I brought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as several pots, one for cooking and the other for stewing the chicken soup. After a while, the aroma was overflowing.

It's true that a dozen people eat this bowl of vegetables, but fortunately, the wild vegetables are enough to fill them up. They add wild vegetables and salt while cooking, and they are full in the end.

After everyone finished eating, they sat down to rest for a while. The Li Chang's lady was chatting with Mrs. Fang, cursing and wiping tears while chatting. Liu Man'er planned to wait until noon and go back if there was nothing else to do.

After all, by that time, the county town should have heard the news, and these horse thieves would not dare to cause trouble anymore.

However, just when Aunt Han picked up the pots and utensils and put them away, everyone looked down and suddenly saw a group of people on horseback.

The Li Chang's wife immediately asked tremblingly, "Is this a horse thief?"

"Yeah." The chief replied in a deep voice.

He was a little worried that the villagers in the village were coming, and there were still many villagers who kept advising them to go down the mountain. He only hoped that nothing would happen to them.

More villagers who were afraid of death and stayed on the mountain felt lucky at this moment. Fortunately, fortunately, they did not leave, but chose to stay, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

This time, he was even more nervous than during the day. Through the woods, everyone saw the horse thief enter the village again. After about half an hour, he drove away in a hurry.

When their figures turned a corner on the road until they could no longer be seen, the head of the village asked Liu Man'er tremblingly: "Miss Ye Yuan, do you think you can go down the mountain now?"

"It's fine." Liu Man'er nodded, and said again: "But it's best to leave the children on the mountain. I think the environment in the village must be a bit bad now!"

She was worried that the children would see the corpses all over the place, and she was afraid of seeing them herself, and she didn't want the children to be left in the shadow.

"You're right." The head of the village nodded and said to the people in the village: "Everyone, put the old people and children on the mountain first, and the men will follow me. Let's clean the village first."

"That's the reason." Everyone agreed, and with a heavy heart, some men took hoes and were led by the head of the village, and went down the mountain together.

Liu Man'er didn't go again, she didn't want to see such a bloody scene again, she took the children and continued to wait on the mountain.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go down the mountain to have a look." Ye He turned to her and said.

"Don't go, wait until they come up." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "If you have nothing to do, go embroider. The family has suffered a catastrophe this time, and the family may have to rely on your embroidery subsidies in the future." For home use."

"Yeah." Ye He nodded heavily, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will help you. Our family had nothing before, so we're getting along."

"You're right." Liu Man'er patted her on the head and hugged her beside her, while Cao'er looked at her timidly, she hugged Cao'er tightly again, and said, "You're a good boy too, don't be afraid .”

"I can also embroider." Cao'er whispered, her big eyes looked straight into Liu Man'er's heart.

Shaking her head helplessly, Liu Man'er patted their little heads and said, "Don't worry, I just said casually, our family wants to raise the two of you into a big lady, so there is no need for you to embroider to subsidize the family."
