After hearing Chen Sihuai's story, everyone present was very angry. These bandits really deserved to die.
Fortunately, they have been killed, otherwise I don’t know how many ordinary people would be harmed.
However, the man named Niu Erfu actually rode away with his men in advance, not caring about his elder brother's life or death.
After everyone finished worshiping, Xu Danian distributed all the grain and money to the villagers.
This time, the family actually received more than ten taels of silver and ten kilograms of grain. It is unknown how many people the bandits robbed or killed.
Because Chen Sihuai was injured and could not go on the journey, the main force planned to rest here for two days before leaving.
In the evening, when Xu Yunjin came out from planting in the farm, she felt an urgent need to urinate, so she came out of the tent to find a place to use the toilet.
Suddenly, he discovered that Guan Dongyue and Wu Xiuzhu were sneaking around without knowing where they were going, and Xu Yunjin followed them quietly.
After walking about two miles, Guan Dongyue stopped. She knew someone was following them, but she didn't know who it was.
"What's wrong, Dongyue, aren't you going to pay homage to the folks?"
Wu Xiuzhu was a little puzzled as to why he stopped suddenly.
"Come out, don't follow us quietly."
Ah, I was discovered. Xu Yunjin stuck out his tongue, walked out from behind, and greeted each other with a smile.
"Sister Dongyue, sister Xiuzhu, where are you going?"
Guan Dongyue looked at Xu Yunjin. She could feel that the person following her had no ill intentions, but she didn't expect it to be Xu Yunjin.
"We... want to pay homage to our family and other people in the village."
Guan Dongyue thought for a while and finally told Xu Yunjin that the Xu family had brought out these incense candles and paper money and ingots, and it was wrong for them to hide them secretly.
But they didn't want their relatives to become lonely ghosts with no one to worship them, so they had to secretly hide some sacrificial items and planned to worship at night.
It was best to bury them to prevent them from being eaten by wild beasts. Unexpectedly, Xu Yunjin discovered them.
Xu Yunjin was surprised when he heard the two said they were going to pay homage to other people. Two girls under the age of fourteen went to that place in the middle of the night.
There were more than a hundred corpses there. Aren't they afraid? They were so brave, but they had already buried them there.
"Here... let me go with you."
Expressing great understanding, Xu Yunjin finally said, "I definitely can't say that you can't go. After all, they are their relatives."
But she was a little worried about letting them go by themselves, and they would still find the body buried when they arrived, so she might as well go together.
"Miss Yunjin, you don't need to accompany us. We'll go and come back quickly. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Guan Dongyue thought Xu Yunjin was worried about them.
"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway, I'll go with you to see you and you will know."
In the end, the three of them went together to the place where Xu Yunjin and others buried the body.
"W-what's going on? Where are the people?"
Wu Xiuzhu looked at the empty road. There was not a single body. Could it be that the bandits buried them out of kindness?
But that's not right. The people in Nanyun Village clearly said that when they came, there were corpses all over the ground. Guan Dongyue looked at Xu Yunjin who was calm next to him.
"More than a hundred corpses were parked here. Plague can easily breed on a hot day, so that night, my family and I came to bury them all on both sides of the road. We also planted 123 corpses.
The wooden sign is regarded as their tombstone."
Xu Yunjin explained to the two of them. Guan Dongyue and Wu Xiuzhu looked at each other without saying a word. They walked to the middle place, knelt down and kowtowed a few times to the places where the bodies were buried on both sides. Then they took out incense candles and paper money and lit them.
Xu Yunjin was watching from the side. After a while, they both finished, then walked to Xu Yunjin and knelt down in front of him.
"Miss Yunjin, thank you. Thanks to you, they can live a more dignified life. There is no way to repay such kindness. If the girl is in need in the future, the two of us will do our best to repay your kindness."
Guan Dongyue looked at Xu Yunjin seriously and said, while Wu Xiuzhu wiped her tears and nodded, which looked a bit funny.
Xu Yunjin suppressed her laughter. The two of them had a good relationship. Guan Dongyue was more intelligent and usually took care of the timid and quiet Wu Xiuzhu like his younger sister. It could be seen that the two of them had good conduct.
"Oh, get up quickly. I'm younger than you, so don't kneel here and there. Now that the worship is over, let's go back quickly."
It was already late at night when the few people returned to the camp, so they tidied up and went to rest.
After staying for two days, a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-cart collected from the village were given to Chen Sihuai and Guan Dongyue.
Everyone packed up their luggage and set off to Xinyi County, and the dozens of people from Dazhai Village finally joined the team and walked south with them.
Three days later, Xu Yunjin was talking to several children where Guan Dongyue and others slept.
In the past two days, Xu Yunjin has been slowly guiding several children to speak. Although the effect is minimal, at least the children will occasionally reply with a sentence or two.
Although they didn't talk much, they made the women who usually spent the most time with them burst into tears of joy. After all, these children were so pitiful.
"Drive... drive."
"Get out of the way, don't block the road."
Two soldiers in official uniforms came galloping towards them on horseback. The children were so frightened that they immediately hid in the arms of Guan Dongyue and Wu Xiuzhu.
The remaining stream also went into Xu Yunjin's arms. She was the first among these children to speak, and was the closest to Xu Yunjin.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. They are not bad people, they are officers and soldiers. They will not capture us."
Xu Yunjin comforted Xiaoxi and looked at the backs of the two soldiers. Why were the two soldiers so anxious? What happened next?
After comforting several children for a while, Xu Yunjin returned to his camp. This time they were stationed in an open-air place with no trees to cover them. They could only use the wooden sticks they brought to prop up a tent.
Xu Yunjin's tent was set up in the front and the first one on the left. There was a road in the middle. Opposite was Xu Danian's house. Xu Yunjin was sitting in a daze on the ox cart next to it.
"drive."
"drive."
There was another sound of horse hoofbeats. Xu Yunjin looked in the direction of the sound of horse hoofbeats. There was a group of about ten people.
The person running at the front was a young man. He was not very old and had a serious face even at a young age, although he was quite good-looking.
"is her."
Yuan Xuan immediately noticed Youdao's eyes on him, glanced at Xu Yunjin, and remembered that it was the fat-faced doll he met in the mountains some time ago.
She was also fleeing, so why was she not as thin as the others, with only bones left? Although she was dark, her face was still as round as the first time we met.
Yuan Xuan stopped suddenly, which shocked Yuan Bao. My young master, Yuan Bao's little heart was frightened by you.
"What are you doing, young master? Wait for us."
Yuan Xuan suddenly turned his horse's head and ran towards Xu Yunjin, leaving the followers behind him unable to react.
Looking at the white horse and young man who suddenly stopped in front of him, Xu Yunjin narrowed his eyes and saw Yuan Xuan's specific appearance. Sure enough, he was a handsome boy.
"Anyi, Dafang County has been destroyed. The Northern Barbarians have set off for Changzhong County. Changzhong County's defense is not strong. Even if there is a large army stationed there, it will not be able to withstand it for long. You should leave as soon as possible."
Xu Yunjin, who was still admiring the handsome boy, suddenly heard the news. It was like a bolt from the blue, and he almost couldn't help but curse out the Chinese quintessence.
What does General Zhu Kui do? He lost five cities in a short period of time.
After Yuan Xuan said this news, he turned around and left. Xu Yunjin came back to his senses and shouted at Yuan Xuan's back:
"Thank you, we understand and will leave immediately."
After saying this, Xu Yunjin ran towards Xu Danian's tent, remembering that the two official officials must have rushed eight hundred miles away to report the news.
Xu Yunjin told Xu Danian the news, and Xu Danian hurriedly informed everyone that there was no need to rest and cook, so he packed up and continued on his way. This chapter has been completed!
