Chapter 8: Being Targeted by Bandits
"Third brother, are there really bandits entering the village to grab food? Can you find out clearly?"

"Second Uncle, I found out clearly."

The man raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then said: "Xiahe Village, twenty miles away, was patronized by bandits a few days ago. I heard that not only every family's food was robbed, but also several girls were robbed. .”

"What! He even robbed someone? Xiahe Village didn't report to the police?"

"Reported. The officers and soldiers have gone, but those bandits have long since disappeared."

After the voice fell, the room was as quiet as a chicken, and the men bowed their heads in thought...

On the other side, Guo Xiaoxiao, who was returning to the village, went into the yard with a bag on his back and a basket on his back.

"Stepmother, we will help you."

"Okay, slow down." Guo Xiaoxiao, who responded, handed the bag in his hand to the three of them, looked at the little girl on the leg pendant, and said with a faint smile, "Is the little girl good today?"

"Beautiful mother, Xiaosi is very good today."

"Well, you're so good." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to move Xiao Si's hair, and squatted down to put down the pannier on his back.

Seeing what Guo Xiaoxiao took out from the back basket, the eyes of the four brothers and sisters almost fell off.

The youngest son Qing quickly closed the courtyard door with his feet loose, and then looked around vigilantly.

That appearance made Guo Xiaoxiao feel distressed and sour in his heart.

Reaching out and gently rubbing Xiao Ziqing's head, Guo Xiaoxiao said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, with me here, those bad guys dare not come again."

"really?"

"real."

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao nodding seriously, Xiao Ziqing relaxed a little, but still looked around vigilantly.

Guo Xiaoxiao sighed softly, and then began to organize...

After some tidying up, Guo Xiaoxiao started dinner.

Taking the opportunity of going to the market today, Guo Xiaoxiao took a piece of meat from the portable space, as well as mushrooms and peppers, and prepared to fry a mushroom meat sauce for bibimbap and noodles.

Looking at the minced minced meat, chopped shiitake mushrooms and peppers, and Guo Xiaoxiao who was stomping minced garlic, Xiao Ziqing raised his head and said, "Stepmother, can I light the fire?"

"Okay, I'll be fine now."

"it is good."

Guo Xiaoxiao scooped up a spoonful of lard and put it into a hot pot. After it melted, he poured the minced meat into the frying pan.

After the color changes, add the seasoning and stir-fry, add minced garlic and shiitake mushrooms and continue to stir-fry.

Add the chopped chilies and fry.

With the stir-fry, a strong aroma filled the kitchen.

The strong fragrance made Xiao Ziqing who was burning the fire nearly fall down.

Guo Xiaoxiao pretended not to see Xiao Ziqing's appearance, lowered his head to look at the color of the meat sauce, tasted the taste, and felt that it was almost ready, so he said: "Ziqing, it's almost there."

"it is good."

I found a crock pot filled with mushroom meat sauce, glanced at the boiling water pot next to it from time to time, and shouted: "Ziyang, the water is about to boil."

"Stepmother, come here." After speaking, Xiao Ziyang walked over with a shauji in his hand.

Guo Xiaoxiao took the Shau Kei, and first put the noodle cake inside to fry in the pan, and then put the noodles into the boiling water pot.

"Ziqing, anneal."

"it is good."

Without Guo Xiaoxiao yelling, Ziqing had already walked in with Xiaosi.

The four siblings stared at her as she put the noodles into the bowl.

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao scooping meat sauce into the bowl, Xiao Ziyang said quickly: "Stepmother, a little is enough."

"Yes, stepmother, this is too delicious, let's eat a little."

"Yeah, Xiaosi has a small belly, so I only eat a little bit." As she said that, the little girl compared her with her fingers.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at their cautious looks, and said with a slight smile, "Don't be afraid. You are growing up, so you can't just eat a little bit. I'll serve the little girl's, and you will serve it yourself. Be careful not to burn it."

"Uh-huh."

Speaking of holding Xiaosi's bowl of noodles, he walked towards the table in the kitchen.

The second child, Xiao Ziqing, just sat down with the noodles, and sucked up~~
"It's delicious. The noodles made by my stepmother are better than those made by my father."

"Mmmmm, delicious."

After dinner, Guo Xiaoxiao called the four brothers and sisters together, and said with a serious face: "I inquired in the town today, and there are indeed bandits who have entered the village to grab food. Starting tomorrow, you should not go out casually."

"Stepmother, are there really bandits?"

"Will bandits come to our village?"

"stepmother…"

Looking at the scared look in their eyes, Guo Xiaoxiao tried to lower his voice, "I don't know either. Is there any place in our house where we can hide things or people?"

The four shook their heads, "No."

"Not even in the cellar?"

"No."

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoxiao nodded, and then waved his hands to let them go back to their rooms to sleep.

And she was lying on the bed thinking about how she got here.

As a second-ranked killer, how could he belch when he stumbled?
What kind of fucking reasoning is this!

Squeeze carefully...

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the pitch-black roof, and said softly, "Poison!"

"It must be."

"Well, it seems that I was careless. I thought my adoptive father really agreed to let me retire... So..."

Sighing again, Guo Xiaoxiao said with a self-deprecating smile: "If you come here, you will be safe. Isn't the life here now what I once wanted? Hehe..."

Guo Xiaoxiao, who had figured it out, woke up the next morning.

"Stepmother, you're awake. Aunt Lianhua from the village chief's grandfather's house asked you to go, saying that there is something to do."

As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao stepped out of the room, he heard Xiao Ziyang's voice, he was slightly stunned, and asked: "The village chief's house? When did it happen?"

"A quarter of an hour ago."

"Okay, I'll go after I wash up."

----------

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law Lianhua, are you at home?"

"It's there."

As the voice sounded, a woman in blue clothes came out of the room, and the woman was still talking, "Who is it?"

"Sister-in-law, I am Guo Xiaoxiao."

"Ouch, daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. Come in, come in..."

Seeing the enthusiastic Xu Lianhua, Guo Xiaoxiao nodded and walked in, "Sister-in-law, I heard from the children that you are looking for me, but what's the matter?"

"Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, it's like this. My father-in-law asked me to ask you if you want to dig a cellar at home."

"Dig the cellar?"

"Yes. Look, there is a war going on in the north, and there was a flood in the south not long ago. I heard that Xiahe Village, miles away, was robbed by bandits. In the village, your family didn't dig a cellar when they built their house. .”

"Because the price of food is not rising very much at this moment, you have to prepare quickly, after all, there are several children in the family."

Listening to Xu Lianhua's words, Guo Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, although she also felt that a cellar should be dug, but at this moment, she shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you and Uncle Village Chief."

"It's too late to dig the cellar now. To be honest, my house may be targeted by bandits."

"what?!"

"Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, are you serious? When did it happen?"

"Sister-in-law, do you remember the two people who were tied to the tree a few days ago? I always thought they were thieves. I got the news this morning that the two were bandits. They came to our village for my house. Take me I was so scared that I almost fainted, and my heart is still shaking at this moment."
