Regarding the information revealed by Xiao Yanling and Liu Yuan, Zhu Xiaocong felt that they seemed to have bribed other people in Motianzhai. Therefore, he couldn't help but think that while they were bribing others, they also treated him. In this way, he felt a little disgusted with Xiao Yanling, thinking that this woman was really too dirty.

However, Xiao Yanling then explained to him that the other helpers they were looking for were not from Motianzhai. Instead, people from Luoshan, hundreds of miles away from Motianzhai. When he heard this, Zhu Xiaocong felt a little relieved.

Liu Yuan went back to Motianzhai that afternoon. However, Zhu Xiaocong did not walk with him, but stayed in Xiao Yanling's residence, and he would stay here in the next few days.

The second battalion commander and the third battalion commander of their subordinates went out for two or three days, but Peng Dezhu and Xiao Houhai were not aware of it. Moreover, they did not notice that their subordinates had left for so many days. When Liu Yuan appeared in the Motianzhai, they thought that Liu Yuan had just gone out once, and they did not ask about Zhu Xiaocong's whereabouts.

These days, Peng Dezhu just wanted to go to Qililing to verify whether Duan Houcai was the younger brother of his leader Duan Houchong. However, because the Fire Phoenix Yun Hongpan and Duan Houchai directly rejected them, Xiao Houhai, Xiao Madam and others disagreed with Peng Dezhu's adventure to go.

When Liu Yuan approached the gate of Motianzhai, he happened to meet Peng Dezhu. He was thinking hard about how to convince everyone and let him go to Qililing. However, after seeing Liu Yuan, he suddenly wondered why he could not go alone. As long as he left a letter to Xiao Houhai and let him know where he was going.

Thinking of this, Peng Dezhu said a simple greeting to Liu Yuan, then immediately turned around and returned to his room, packed up some things he carried with him, and left a note for Xiao Houhai to explain his journey to Qililing. Then he went out of the village gate and headed towards Qililing guided by Xu Hu.

Peng Dezhu didn't know where Qililing was, but he heard Xu Hu, Xiao Houhai and others say the general direction, in the southwest of Motianzhai. After leaving Motianzhai, Peng Dezhu followed the foot of Motianzhai and headed towards the Qililing that Xu Hu and others mentioned.

Because he did not know the specific terrain of this area, Peng Dezhu was unable to walk to Qililing after a day, but instead approached another bandit nest, Fengling Mountain.

When the sky was dim, Peng Dezhu walked to the foot of a mountain. Looking at the darkening sky, Peng Dezhu decided to find a place to rest for a night, inquire about the route, and then set off again tomorrow morning. Thinking of this, he walked along the mountain road at the foot of the mountain, and saw a small village in the distance, with dim lights inside.

After seeing this mountain village, Peng Dezhu accelerated his pace and walked towards the village. After getting closer, he saw that although it was a village, there were only less than ten families. Most of the simple adobe houses were built with thatched roofs.

Peng Dezhu walked closer to the village and saw a house with lights on, so he went forward and knocked on the door.

“!!!”

"Is anyone at home? I'm a passing place and want a place to rest!"

Peng Dezhu just shouted, and the lights in the yard suddenly went out. This situation made Peng Dezhu confused. It seemed that the family did not welcome outsiders. Peng Dezhu retreated from the door and looked at the other family. There was a light on not far away, so he turned around and walked towards the family.

However, something strange to Peng Dezhu then happened. When he knocked on the door of the family again, the light inside also turned off immediately. I couldn't help but, after hearing his knocking and shouting, the lights in the house were turned off.

Peng Dezhu was very strange. He didn't know what was wrong with the people in this village. Why did he immediately turn off the light after hearing his own voice. Peng Dezhu wandered in the village in confusion, and he did not continue to knock on the door of any family. Now he only hopes to meet someone and find a place to stay.

The sky was completely dark, and there was a strong wind blowing in the night in the mountains. The whistling wind almost lifted up these simple roofs. Peng Dezhu couldn't help but shrink his neck. After the wind started, the chill gradually increased. It was the time for the autumn and winter to communicate, and he could already feel the arrival of winter.

"call……"

"Crack, creak! Crack, creak! Crack!"

A very violent sound suddenly sounded in the sound of the wind. Peng Dezhu turned around and ran towards the place where the sound was made. The roofs of these families were finally unable to withstand such strong winds. The lowering of the family living by the village was slapped by the strong wind.

When Peng Dezhu ran over, he heard the shouts of several people from the yard of this house, including men and women. After hearing their calls, Peng Dezhu accelerated his pace and ran over quickly.

In the darkness, what appeared before him was a collapsed house. The not-so-sturdy roof had been swept up by the strong wind, and the beam inside seemed to have broken. Standing in front of the broken wall of the yard, Peng Dezhu saw invisibly that two adults and one child were rescuing all valuable property in their family.

Seeing this situation, Peng Dezhu immediately jumped over the broken wall and rushed into the collapsed house. Suddenly someone rushed in, which scared the family. Peng Dezhu saw a man with a panic on his face, and while he was afraid, he still hid his wife and children behind him.

Peng Dezhu did not explain anything to them, but rushed into the house and took out a pocket that was pressed under the beam of the house, which seemed to be pretending to be grain, and handed it directly to the owner of the house who was still looking at him in horror.

The man was a little at a loss and took Peng Dezhu's pocket down. The woman and child who were trembling behind him were frightened and trembled. Seeing this situation, he also boldly poked his head out and looked at Peng Dezhu carefully.

Peng Dezhu didn't say anything, but turned around and looked at the collapse of the roof. Then, he turned around and said to the man: "Brother, the collapse is not very powerful. Is there any wood that can be used as a beam of the house? It should be able to be built directly on it!"

The owner of the house was a little confused, nodded to Peng Dezhu, and then said, "Yes! Yes!" Then he pointed to a log lying under the corner of the wall not far away from them.

Peng Dezhu walked over and looked carefully. It was a log that seemed to have just been cut down. It seemed that the owner of the house was preparing to change the beam again. However, before he could change it, the roof was lifted by the strong wind.

When Peng Dezhu saw it and moved the log without saying a word, such a master could no longer care about whether the person who suddenly appeared was threatening or malicious to them. He hurriedly left his wife and children and ran over to help.

Next, Peng Dezhu helped the family repair the roof and repaired it, and it took him halfway through the night. Fortunately, in the second half of the night, the fierce wind finally stopped gradually, which accelerated Peng Dezhu and his team's progress a lot, and they actually rested the roof before dawn.

After the roof was rested and recuperated, the women and children in this family had almost finished tidying up the things in the house. When the male owner let Peng Dezhu, who was covered in dust, a very dim kerosene lamp had already lit up in the house.

With the faint light, Peng Dezhu realized that the man who was resting on the roof with him looked nearly forty years old. The other two people in the house, one was a woman who was also about forty years old, and the other was dressed very shabby, but she seemed to be a teenage boy. She had short hair, gray and ragged clothes, and although her face was dirty, she still couldn't hide the handsomeness of the child. Peng Dezhu was in a trance and seemed to feel that he should be a girl.

After Peng Dezhu and the man came in, the two people in the room stopped their work and stared at Peng Dezhu blankly. The man looked at them and said to his weird woman: "Manzi, why are you standing there? Hurry up and find a way to burn some water for this benefactor!"

"Oh! Oh!" The woman then realized, and immediately pulled Manzi who was standing beside her, took out the blame for her family, and left the house.

Peng Dezhu carefully looked at the situation in the room. This was a house that was so simple that it could not be simple. In the room, except for the only tables and benches, there were only things in the corners of the room on both sides. On one side was the place where he lived, which was simply made of wood, and was considered a bed. On the other side, it should be the only thing they had to survive, with pots and pans for their meals. However, there were a few simple farm tools placed in the corner of the house.

"Benefactor, please sit down!"

When the male owner saw Peng Dezhu standing in front of the house, he hurriedly pulled a bench over, wiped it carefully with his sleeve, placed it next to the table, and let Peng Dezhu sit down.

"Brother!" Seeing the male owner clearly, Peng Dezhu changed his name to him and continued, "Don't benefactor, the benefactor's call me, how can I bear it! It's just a matter of helping, don't be too disgusting."

Peng Dezhu's words made the honest and honest male owner smile foolishly, not knowing how to speak. Peng Dezhu looked at the situation of the house and said to the male owner: "Brother, I'm just passing by ours. I was looking for a place to stay, but I didn't expect to encounter your family's affairs! I'll ask you about the situation."

"You said, you said!" the male owner nodded quickly and said.
