Li Er was taken aback. He turned around and saw a graceful figure slowly walking over.
The starlight shone on her face, and it turned out to be the beautiful middle-aged woman who entered the village together today.
Li Er stared at her for a while and said in a deep voice: "Li is no longer a marshal a long time ago. Now I can have such a place to settle down. I am very satisfied!"
Yang Ying did not expect that Li Er would remain so calm after his identity was revealed. After a moment of silence, he said, "Zhizhi Li, do you know who I am?"
Li Er glanced at her: "Mrs. Ming Wang, the person you should be looking for is Liu Futong, not me!"
Yang Ying trembled all over, and her face showed excitement: "You have indeed recognized the identity of my mother and son a long time ago!"
Li Er sighed and said, "You and your son have been hiding in Wu'an Mountain near Xuzhou for more than a year. How could I not know?"
Yang Ying was stunned for a while and said softly: "I knew you were protecting our mother and son. As soon as you were defeated, someone came to Wu'an Mountain to arrest us!"
Li Er smiled bitterly and said: "In name, Brother Han is the leader of the Red Scarf Army in the world. Of course I want to protect you. It's a pity that Li can't protect himself now, and it will be difficult for him to protect you anymore!"
Yang Ying said with piercing eyes: "You and Zhao and Peng have tens of thousands of red scarf troops. If my mother and son help me, we will definitely be able to make a comeback!"
Li Erdao: "You think too simply. If they knew I was still alive, neither Zhao Junyong nor Peng Da would let me go!"
Yang Ying was stunned for a moment and said: "Then you can also gather at the top of the mountain separately. If we help you clear your name, the Red Scarf Army from all over the world will come to join you!"
Li Er shook his head and said: "Now that the Red Scarf Army has been divided, climbing up and shouting will only lead to death."
Yang Ying sneered and said: "It turns out that the famous Sesame Li is actually a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Li Er was not angry and said calmly: "I have already said that you should go to Liu Futong, not me!"
A trace of hatred flashed in Yang Ying's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't trust him!"
Li Erxuan frowned and said: "Liu Fu is a great hero in the world, he values righteousness over life, and he is a life-and-death brother with Brother Han. If you can't even trust him, who can you trust?"
Yang Ying's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked up at the sky, his body trembling slightly, obviously thinking of something hateful.
Li Er saw something fishy in it. If it were him before, he might have asked clearly, but now he didn't have the leisure to do so. He cupped his hands and said, "Ma'am, take care of yourself."
Turn around and return to Mrs. Xu’s house.
Yang Ying silently watched his figure disappear, then turned around and returned to a large room in the east of the village.
Outside the door of the house, the monkey was already waiting impatiently. He quickly came over and shouted: "Madam, where have you been? I've made a meal. Come home and eat!"
Yang Ying's mother and son happened to be assigned to his home.
Yang Ying stared at him coldly: "What did you call me?"
The monkey looked around, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Madam, my name is Hou Baisi. I joined the White Lotus Sect when I was in Zhaozhou, and I met you at the Dharma gathering!"
Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly pulled him up and questioned him carefully. When he found out that he was really a disciple of the sect, he was overjoyed and said: "Why are you here?"
The monkey then told his story.
It turns out that he is from Zhaozhou. When he attended the White Lotus Dharma Assembly in Zhaozhou, he met Yang Ying and regarded her as a fairy descending to earth, so he joined the White Lotus Sect.
Later, he was ordered to follow a religious leader to Jiangdu to spread the doctrine and develop believers. As a result, the leader was caught by the officers and soldiers, and the believers dispersed.
Monkey was originally going to return to Zhaozhou, but on the way he encountered a group of bandits from Longtan Village who robbed a convoy. The owners of the convoy were none other than the Qin sisters.
Monkey saw with his own eyes that the Qin sisters killed a group of bandits and occupied Longtan Mountain. He was impressed by the grace of the Qin sisters, so he changed his family and joined Longtan Village.
Who would have thought that a few years later, he would meet Yang Ying while recruiting refugees. At that time, Yang Ying was being hunted, and he did not dare to reveal her identity. Unexpectedly, Yang Ying also defected to the village.
After Yang Ying heard this, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's the case, no wonder you became a bandit. I want to bring you back into the religion, are you willing?"
The monkey looked hesitant.
Yang Ying said sternly: "You don't want to?"
The monkey lowered his head and said nothing. If it were before Zhang Yangquan came, he wouldn't have minded being a bandit or a White Lotus cultist. Anyway, he would live with his head high.
However, life in the village is getting better and better now, and everyone has hope for the future. He even wrote a letter asking his brother and his family to come over, because he really didn't want to give up his current life.
Yang Ying gritted his silver teeth and said: "As long as you return to our religion, I can make you a protector."
The monkey lowered his head and muttered: "Madam, King Ming is dead."
Yang Ying was furious, took out a steel thorn from his sleeve, and put it on the monkey's neck: "Asshole, my man is dead, but my son is still here, he will be the future King Ming!"
At this moment, a village soldier passed by on patrol, saw the situation here, and shouted from a distance: "Brother Monkey, what's the situation? Is there a bad guy in the village?"
The monkey said hurriedly: "It's okay, this girl and I are playing around!" He winked at Yang Ying hurriedly.
Yang Ying also knew that if he killed the monkey, mother and son would not survive, so he could only withdraw the steel thorn, glare at the monkey, and scolded: "They are all unfaithful and unjust things!"
Turned around and went back to the house.
The monkey waved his hand to the brothers patrolling the village and followed him back to the house, only to see Yang Ying sitting on the chair angrily, never looking at him again.
A large table was set up in the hall, and the food on the table was more abundant than at Mrs. Xu’s house. There were not only cabbage, but also roasted mutton with radish.
There were four people sitting at the table. In addition to Yang Ying and her son, there was also the old man who was saved by Li Er and his grandson.
The grandfather and grandson were very hungry for a long time, but they did not dare to eat first. They smiled apologetically at the monkey and said, "Strong man, can we start eating?"
The monkey glanced at Yang Ying, feeling a little guilty, and showed a flattering smile: "Madam, father-in-law, and kids, please eat quickly, you're welcome!"
The old man, surnamed Hu, thanked him, hurriedly brought some food to his grandson, and told his grandson to eat quickly. The child was also very hungry, and he plucked the food into his mouth, his cheeks bulging into two small bags.

Although Yang Ying was angry at the monkey for betraying him, he would not be at odds with the food. He stretched out his chopsticks to put some vegetables in his son's bowl and said, "Lin'er, eat it."
But he didn’t eat the vegetables, he only ate the rice in small bites.
As she ate, she gradually realized that something was wrong. Although Han Lin'er was hiding with her in Wu'an Mountain and could not enter the city at will, he still had enough food and clothing and had meat every meal.
I always lose my appetite when I eat on weekdays, and I stop eating after a few bites. Today, for some reason, my appetite is so good that I can't help but reach out with my chopsticks to pick up the roasted radish and mutton.
Not only was he picking it up, but the grandson surnamed Hu was also scrambling to pick it up. The old man would not eat it himself, but put it into his grandson's bowl. The little grandson's mouth was full of oil after eating it.
In fact, Han Lin'er grabbed this dish because it was not so delicious.
When we were in Wu'an Mountain, the leader of the Wu'an Mountain village was a member of the White Lotus Sect, and he took great care of mother and child. Han Lin'er could eat whatever he wanted, and no one had ever competed with him for food.
This time was different. When he saw a child of the same age competing with him, he just thought it was fun at first.
However, after arguing for a while, the other party showed no martial ethics, and his grandfather and grandson came together, but his mother did not help him.
Han Lin'er was fighting one against two, and of course he was no match for his grandfather and grandson. Seeing the storm on the dinner table, a plate of roasted mutton with radish was about to be snatched away by the other party, Han Lin'er burst into tears and reached out to grab the plate.
The little grandson didn't show any weakness and reached out to grab it!
Yang Ying watched silently, but did not interfere, wanting to take the opportunity to train his son.
The monkey suddenly reached out and snatched the plate from the hands of the two children, and said angrily: "You guys, don't go too far, I haven't even eaten a few bites!"
Just as he was about to rush them all into his own bowl, he suddenly saw Yang Ying staring at him. He hurriedly handed the plate over and said with a smile: "Give them all to Madam!"
Yang Ying was originally going to say: "You don't need to be attentive." When the words came to his mouth, he saw his son stretching out his chopsticks to pick them up. His heart softened and he said to the monkey: "From now on, I will make this dish every night!"
The monkey secretly complained that even though he was a small leader in the village, he could not eat meat every day. However, he really did not want to refuse Yang Ying, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
That night, the residents of Xinzhai not only had food and drink, but also many bachelors got wives. Recalling the days when they fled south, they all felt like they were in a dream.
Before dawn the next day, Qin Lingsi got up early to collect the refugees. At Zhang Yangquan's suggestion, she took a dozen Xinzhai residents with her on the road this time.
The residents of Xinzhai told the refugees their personal experiences, and the refugees suddenly burst into laughter. They rushed towards Longtan Mountain like a race.
In less than ten days, Longtan Village had nearly a thousand people.
