Cui Hongyu bowed to Liu Tie, "It turns out to be Brother Liu Tie."
Liu Tie waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't think so."
"You are my savior, so I have to salute you."
After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Cui Hongyu.
Cui Hongyu pointed at Chen Dachun again, "Brother Liu, do you still remember him? He carried you down from the mountain."
Liu Tie scratched his head and said with an apology, "Brother Dachun, I'm really sorry, I didn't recognize you for a while."
Chen Dachun smiled naively, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way."
Then Chen Dachun turned to Liu Ce and said, "Steward Liu, we can send a dozen more people from our village protection team to accompany you up the mountain."
When he heard that Chen Dachun was going to take people up the mountain, Liu Ce shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, definitely not this time."
"But Brother Xiaobei is still on the mountain, we..." Chen Dachun's concern was palpable. Cui Hongyu next to him also had a face full of anxiety.
Liu Ce understood the mood of the two of them very well. If it were his own relatives on the mountain, he might be more anxious than these two.
"Sister Hongyu, brothers Dachun, you two listen to me."
"The people on the mountain this time are all martial arts warriors. You are unarmed."
"Yes, we still have six serial crossbows." Dachun interrupted Liu Ce eagerly.
"I know you still have serial crossbows."
"But Hetou Village also needs your protection, right? You stay at the bottom of the mountain while we go up the mountain to rescue people. Don't worry, Brother Liu Tie will definitely be able to do it." Liu Ce said sincerely.
Chen Dachun looked at Liu Tie with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Liu Tie knew that he had just recovered from a serious injury, and Chen Dachun did not trust him.
Thinking of this, he came to the yard and found a stone mill in the corner.
Liu Tie secretly took a breath, shouted softly, and gently patted the stone mill with his right palm.
A click was heard, and the stone mill was snapped into two halves.
Seeing this scene, Chen Dachun and Cui Hongyu looked at each other, with admiration in their eyes.
How much hand strength does it take to have such an effect?
Liu Ce took the opportunity to say, "Now you can rest assured."
"If you really want to help, then guard the village and don't let them break in."
After all, Cui Hongyu and Chen Dachun were finally coaxed away, and Liu Ce and Liu Tie hurriedly led people up the mountain.
While walking, Liu Tie told Liu Ce the purpose of his visit.
Hearing that they were trying to capture the two bandits from Centipede Ridge, Liu Ce couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so difficult about this? Have you seen those people from the Suzaku Gang behind? There is one named Yang Chun, who came from Centipede Ridge. It is said that he is also the second village leader."
Hearing what he said, Liu Tie couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, that's great. I'll do it as soon as I come down from the mountain."
Just as they were going up the mountain, Prince Xiao Jingyun finally led the people to find the habitat.
A small forest was enough for them to take a breather.
Zhou Quan looked at the map for a long time and was convinced that they had reached the official road.
"Your Highness, when the sun comes out tomorrow, we have to go north first, and then east to return to Qingniu County. This journey will take about forty miles."
No matter how many miles, as long as we can go back. Xiao Jamyun let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then everyone should rest quickly."
The bonfire was lit, and Xiao Jingyun and others quickly fell into a deep sleep, but Liu Rumei was the only one who seemed preoccupied and couldn't sleep.
Suddenly he heard a strange noise, turned around and saw that it was Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei leaned forward and threw two pieces of firewood on the fire, then turned back and leaned against a big tree. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and turned his head to look in the direction of Liu Rumei.
After the two looked at each other for a long time, they actually laughed together.
Liu Rumei stood up and took the initiative to come to Chen Xiaobei's side. She also leaned against the big tree and sat down almost shoulder to shoulder with Chen Xiaobei.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Liu Rumei's opening remarks were simple and direct.
Chen Xiaobei looked up at the night sky and exhaled slightly, "We haven't contacted Shanxia for several days. I don't know what the situation is at Shanxia."
Upon hearing what he said, Liu Rumei's expression became melancholy. Yeah, what's going on down the mountain?
"I think Liu Ce will definitely find a way to take back that steep slope." Liu Rumei said helplessly.
"Yes, everyone knows that steep slopes are important. We know it, and so does the other party." Chen Xiaobei seemed to be talking to himself.
But Liu Rumei suddenly understood what he meant, "Oh, you're right, I was really negligent."
After saying that, he stood up and came to a Liu family guard and patted him on the shoulder, "Take two people and set off overnight to return to Hetou Village to deliver a message, telling Liu Ce not to go into the mountain again, saying that we are safe.
"
The guard immediately took two of his men and set off. Watching them go away, Liu Rumei felt relieved and came to Chen Xiaobei again. This time she was even closer to Chen Xiaobei.
Perhaps a mountain villager could think so carefully, which gave her a sense of trust.
But this distance made Chen Xiaobei feel a little embarrassed.
Although you have had skin-to-skin contact with Cui Hongyu, it was legal. Suddenly, with such a beautiful woman standing so close to you, it's hard not to let your imagination run wild.
But just as the wings of his imagination were about to take off, he was suddenly hit on the forehead by a small stone, and Chen Xiaobei woke up instantly.
The person who threw the stones was Liu Rumei's personal maid Xiaoqing, who was staring at him.
"Chen Xiaobei, stay away from my lady."
After hearing these words, Chen Xiaobei felt that he was a big injustice.
I didn't move here. It was your lady who came here on her own, so why was it me who was the last one to be scolded?
Liu Rumei waved her hand towards Xiaoqing, "You can just sleep. I have something to ask Chen Xiaobei."
Xiaoqing then closed her eyes unwillingly.
"Chen Xiaobei, what are your plans for the future?"
What are your plans? Chen Xiaobei suddenly remembered that in his previous life, a question his teacher often asked was what do you want to do when you grow up.
Some students answered that they wanted to be scientists, some answered that they wanted to be doctors, some wanted to be teachers, and some wanted to be soldiers, there were all kinds of things.
When it was his turn, he said that he wanted to be a young master from a landlord's family.
You can eat white flour buns dipped in sugar every day, and you don’t have to work.
As a result, the teacher punished me by copying the poem pity the peasants a hundred times.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Rumei went on to say, "As the saying goes, if you learn martial arts, you will sell it to the emperor's family. I can see that you have ambitions and abilities. Isn't it too unfair for you to stay in Hetou Village?"
After saying this, Chen Xiaobei sighed slightly, "Yes, my original ambition was to spend this life with Hong Yu peacefully in Hetou Village and have a few more children."
