The noise continues

Shen Yuexi looked out through the window and saw a group of Wuyangyang villagers standing in the small yard, shouting facing Yang Cong's room.

"Onion, come out!"

"Li Zheng, I saw clearly last night that Onion is really back."

The speaker was explaining to an old man in his fifties:

"The Xirong people who captured her must have been killed by that girl. Now that she has run back to the village, we are all going to be in bad luck."

Some people furrowed their brows worriedly, with grimaces on their faces, not knowing what to do.

Here on the border, the hidden dangers of Xirong have made the people of Xiaogang Village miserable.

"That's right, if Li Zheng doesn't catch Onion, our whole village will suffer, so we'd better hand him over as soon as possible!"

"absurd!"

This cold voice came from Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo walked out of the house facing the light. He strode over, and his back was full of brilliance, as if he came from that brilliance.

The people in the village had never seen such an outstanding person, and they were all stunned for a moment.

They came to see Yang Cong, but they didn't expect such an outstanding man to come out.

A woman who looked shriveled and looked particularly mean snorted.

"Hey, who am I talking about? I didn't expect that stinky girl to be lucky enough to bring back a handsome son." She curled her lips, "I wonder if she can support him alive."

With a clang, Yang Cong walked out of the house. The door was kicked open by her. She put her hands on her hips and said loudly: "What are you talking about! This is my savior."

When she mentioned this, she became angry. She had been treating her as a herd since she was a child, and she did all the work in the house. Finally, she disliked eating too much and no one wanted her, so she kicked her out of the house.

It was understandable at first, but I didn't expect that now she would actually say bad words to her benefactor.

Yang Cong looked coldly at the mean woman in front of him, her dark face showing determination. At this moment, Shen Yuexi came to her side and patted her shoulder to show her support.

Yang Cong turned around and gave her a smile: "I'm fine."

Then Yang Cong said to the surrounding villagers: "Yes, those Xirong soldiers have been killed by us."

The crowd went crazy.

"If we really kill the Xirong people, we will be finished!"

"The Xirong army is coming to kill!"

Yang Cong's mother was even more frightened, slapping her legs and saying, "What should we do?"

Shen Yuexi quickly pulled Yang Cong aside and left it to Xiao Zhuo to deal with.

"Even if you hand them over, you will not be spared. The thieves in Xirong are still determined. For Dayan, this place is remote and poorly managed, but for Xirong it is a fertile land. At this time, everyone can survive in the world. , it’s just that Xirong is raising its troops, and when the time comes, this place will still not be able to escape the consequences of being trampled by Xirong. By then, it will not be a fate that you can control, so why not take advantage of this to prepare for a rainy day, I wonder if you all have any opinions?"

The villagers in Xiaogang Village are all a bunch of idiots, so there is no point in talking about them. After hearing Xiao Zhuo's words, the noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet, and the crowd began to whisper.

Xiao Zhuo's words suddenly revealed all the problems that Xiaogang Village has been facing for a long time.

In the past, the people in Xiaogang Village only thought that those people from Xirong came to rob them, and as long as they did not resist, they could save their lives. But now that Xiao Zhuo said this, they knew what Xirong's true thoughts were.

This means they are raised like pigs and then slaughtered when they grow fat.

Today's Xiaogang Village is still desolate, and it is difficult to even draw water. Some people have left the village one after another.

Li Zheng waved his hand, indicating that everyone should listen to him. Then he sighed and said:

"This young master is right, but we are all civilians. Once the Xirong army comes, we have no choice but to sit back and wait for death."

Shen Yuexi interrupted: "Since you can't resist, why don't you leave here and find another way to make a living in the customs?"

Li Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Those who want to leave have already left. The remaining people are determined not to leave. Our ancestors have always been here. If we want to leave our land, it is better to kill us."

As long as there is no extreme weather, the annual harvest can still feed the family. After all, there is no need to pay official taxes here.

Only then did Shen Yuexi understand that these people were guarding the land of their ancestors and refused to leave.

Li Zheng glanced at Xiao Zhuo and asked, "I wonder if this young master..."

"Mr. Pei," Yang Cong introduced from the side.

Li Zheng looked at Xiao Zhuo and nodded: "It turns out to be Mr. Pei."

Shen Yuexi looked at Li Zheng. He looked about fifty years old. In this place with extremely backward medical conditions, he was considered to have lived a long life.

Li Zheng bowed to Xiao Zhuo and said, "Mr. Pei, do you have any suggestions?"

Xiao Zhuo stood in the crowd, wearing a sky-blue gown, and his elegant face looked particularly cool under the sunlight.

"Every time the Xirong people come here, they always break in through a path between the two mountains. As long as they are blocked there, there will be no worries here for the time being."

Xiao Zhuo's voice became clearer and deeper, which was strangely able to calm people down.

Only then did Shen Yuexi remember that while she and Yang Cong were busy cleaning up the house, Xiao Zhuo disappeared for a while. When he came back, he was carrying pheasants and hares, and it turned out that he was going to inspect the nearby terrain.

After hearing this, the villagers realized that Xiao Zhuo wanted them to block the place before Xirong arrived.

Li Zheng frowned, a little worried.

Xiao Zhuo looked at Li Zheng and asked slowly and unhurriedly: "Is there anything unspeakable in Li Zheng?"

"To be honest, Mr. Pei, no one dares to go to that place." Li Zheng showed a sad expression.

It's not that they haven't thought of this method, but it is extremely dangerous there. Opposite is the Xirong territory, and it is easy to be discovered by the patrolling Xirong army.

Once discovered they will be killed.

Xiao Zhuo put his hands behind his back and said in a low but powerful voice: "I will shoulder the responsibility, so you don't have to feel embarrassed."

Shen Yuexi knew that Xiao Zhuo was only temporarily appeasing the fear of the villagers. Since Xiao Zhuo said that his confidants would come over in a few days, he must have made some arrangements.

Now we have to get through these few days first.

Although these villagers are frightened by the Xirong people, it does not mean that no one hates Xirong.

If someone solves their problem for them, there's no way they would be happy about it.

Soon the villagers reached a consensus.

"Since Mr. Pei has said this, how can I not respond?" Li Zheng was stroking his beard, "How can Mr. Pei ensure that you can do it?"

Xiao Zhuo did not reply to his words, but Yang Cong on the side said proudly: "Li Zheng, you don't know yet, Master Pei is so powerful. Those five Xirong people were all killed by Master Pei."

The way Li Zheng and the villagers looked at Xiao Zhuo suddenly changed. This was the first time in many years that they heard that someone dared to kill Xirong people.

Xiao Zhuo turned around and walked to Shen Yuexi, took her hand and walked into the house. Yang Cong was left to deal with the outside.

"How long will it take for your people to come?" Shen Yuexi was worried that people from Xirong would come looking for them before they came.

"Two or three days later." Xiao Zhuo pulled her to sit down, then took out a wooden comb with lost teeth from his arms and combed her hair.

There was no mirror here, and she couldn't see what was happening to her hair.

Only then did she remember that when she got up in the morning, she heard the noise outside and left the house without even having time to fix her hair.

It must have been very ugly just now.

Xiao Zhuo was very upright in doing things, so he probably couldn't stand the way her hair was disheveled.

Xiao Zhuo seemed to be aware of what Shen Yuexi was thinking, and he said calmly: "No."

Shen Yuexi turned to look at him in surprise.

His eyes were extremely serious, and the hand holding the comb was extremely gentle. Shen Yuexi did not feel the slightest pain from his scalp being pulled.

Seeing his extremely skillful appearance, she half-joked: "I didn't expect that my husband's skills are quite good. He has combed women's hair in the past, right?"

Shen Yuexi really didn't understand Xiao Zhuo before.

"No, you are the first." Xiao Zhuo's voice was low and clear.

Her heart skipped a beat, she curled up her mouth and smiled.
