If these people are really released again, and the people of Hetou Village really suffer, then the gains outweigh the losses.
"But Hong Yu, if that happens, we will be involved in this storm, and we will get deeper and deeper." Chen Xiaobei was still very worried.
"My husband, everyone is in our Hetou Village. Even if you want to stay out of it, can you do it?"
After hearing his words, Chen Xiaobei was also filled with emotion.
It's true, I've been trapped now, and it's too late to get out. In this case, I can only stand firmly with the so-called teacher of benevolence and righteousness in Cui Hongyu's mouth.
Liu Rumei was a little surprised to see Chen Xiaobei coming. It could be seen that Liu Rumei looked haggard. Thinking about it, whoever it was would not be in a better mood after the death of a relative.
"Miss Liu, I'm here because I have something important to tell you."
Chen Xiaobei got straight to the point and told him about his encounter with Sun Jian in the county town.
Liu Rumei frowned after hearing this.
"I understand, thank you very much, Mr. Chen."
Liu Rumei didn't show much performance, which made Chen Xiaobei feel a little disappointed. Isn't this news important?
What Chen Xiaobei didn't know was that when he left Liu Rumei with his front foot and his back foot, he immediately ordered Xiaoqing to open the map of Qingniu Mountain again.
"Miss, you have looked at this map countless times." Xiao Qing couldn't help but say.
Liu Rumei shook her head, "But this time is different. Sun Jian is back, do you know what it means?"
"Miss, you mean to say that the Imperial Master asked him to come?"
Liu Rumei nodded, "Yes, if you think about it, Sima Wushuang has never been to Qingniu Mountain. He needs someone to be his guide, so wouldn't Sun Jian be the most suitable candidate?"
After hearing her analysis, Xiaoqing felt enlightened, "Miss, if they come, they will definitely go to the top of Qingniu Mountain to look for the dragon's veins."
Liu Rumei nodded, "Yes, it's a pity that we don't have someone like Li Tong. Otherwise, we could have done an ambush on the steep slope outside, and we would have done twice the result with half the effort."
After hearing her emotion, Xiaoqing pointed to the location of the chain bridge and said, "Then we will guard the chain bridge here. If we can't get to the top of Qingniu Mountain, he won't be able to find the longan."
Liu Rumei sighed, "That's true, but I'm worried that if we go up the mountain now, we may be behind. They have already occupied the chain bridge in advance."
"Then what should we do?"
Liu Rumei thought for a while but then came up with an idea, "Chen Xiaobei has to come forward in this matter."
"Let Chen Xiaobei go to the cable bridge in the name of laying planks, and our people will mix in and see what's going on first."
"It was Ma Xiaoyi and the others who went there last time. Let Ma Xiaoyi go this time so that there won't be any suspicion."
Having made up her mind, Liu Rumei came to see Chen Xiaobei in person.
After meeting, Liu Rumei went straight to the point without any courtesy. She hoped that Chen Xiaobei would go up the mountain and said that he would send someone to help. She also admitted that she wanted to go this time mainly to see if there were any ambush around the cable bridge.
Chen Xiaobei understood Liu Rumei's mood very well. She saw that his second brother was killed in an ambush, so she was naturally very afraid of the ambush.
This also shows that Liu Rumei is very likely to have plans to go up the mountain recently.
Thinking of this, I might as well just make it clear.
"Miss Liu, are you worried about Sun Jian ambushing you at the Tiesuo Bridge?"
When Liu Rumei saw that Chen Xiaobei had pierced the window paper, she naturally admitted generously, "Now that things have happened, there is no need to hide it. Sun Jian is standing on the opposite side of me."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Okay, I understand. I will organize the manpower now and we will go up the mountain tomorrow."
After seeing off Liu Rumei and Chen Xiaobei, he immediately rushed to Carpenter Zhang's house to see how many wooden boards had been made.
Of course, this does not mean that all the wooden boards must be made. After all, the construction cannot be completed in three or two days. The main purpose is to conduct reconnaissance, so seven or eight people will go there, each carrying two or three wooden boards, and install them there.
Just pretend to fix the board and then come back, killing two birds with one stone.
As expected, Carpenter Zhang only made less than fifty boards. After all, he needed good materials like thick boards, which were not very common in this era, so it naturally took some effort to find them.
After confirming the number of wooden boards, Chen Xiaobei came to Lidong again.
"Tomorrow we have to go to the chain bridge to install some wooden boards and take a look at the environment around the bridge."
Upon hearing this, Lidong volunteered to take people there, but was stopped by Chen Xiaobei.
"No, you stay. Guarding the village is equally important. Recently, more and more unknown people have come to our village. You must be strict."
"Also, Chen Ermao is back. You have to keep an eye on him and don't let him run around. I always feel that this kid is uneasy."
I have to say that Chen Xiaobei's hunch was right.
Regarding the death of Da Laohei, Chen Ermao, the nephew, was a little filial. He dug a hole in the woods to the west of the village, buried the man, and built a small grave.
While he was busy here, he heard someone calling him from behind, "Ermao, brother Ermao!"
He turned around and saw that it was Chen Sanqiu who was coming.
Chen Sanqiu held a wooden board in his hand, "Brother Ermao, I don't know your uncle's first name. Everyone calls him Da Lao Hei, so I had to write him Da Lao Hei."
Chen Ermao didn't know how to read, so the five characters on this sign were like a heavenly book.
"It's written about the tomb of Da Laohei. His relatives will be able to find it when they come in the future."
Chen Sanqiu waved his hand, "Brother Ermao, your uncle died unjustly. Do you want to avenge him?"
Chen Ermao was stunned at this sentence, "Brother Sanqiu, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Well, a lot of things have happened in the village recently, and you don't know."
"Chen Xiaobei first became the captain of the village protection team, but within a few days, Chen Anbang, the head of the village, was poisoned and died. Chen Xiaobei became the head of the village. But not long after he became the head of the village, Chen Ping died again, and his family was exterminated.
Yes, you said it was strange or not."
Chen Ermao obviously didn't know this, and he looked confused.
"These are not important yet. Let me tell you a big thing. Chen Xiaobei just got a land deed for Qingniu Mountain from the county a few days ago. But guess what, he has finished it on the front foot, and the second son, Liu Xiangnan, the protector of the country, is behind.
Liu Yuanwu was shot dead on the green ox, you think it was a coincidence or not."
"But what does this have to do with Chen Xiaobei?"
"Oh, you, you can't understand it for a while. Think about it, wherever Chen Xiaobei appears, people will die. He is not a leader, he is a devil."
"If he didn't send your parents to the county jail, would your parents die on the way to exile?"
When he mentioned his parents, Chen Ermao's sadness was revealed again.
