Reborn as a landlord!I can

Li Yixing also went home and discussed with his wife, daughter, siblings, and finally decided that Li Yixing and Li Manping would go up the mountain in the afternoon, and the others would not go to wrap things up.

After lunch, the villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain again. The people gathered this time were very different from the ones in the morning. Men accounted for the majority, and they brought more sharp weapons from home with them. Some people carried large spears on their backs. There are also homemade guns and short guns and small field cannons that were obtained during the chaos, which have sufficient firepower.

The village chief stood on the front step with a serious face, watching a group of simple men below chatting excitedly, without the slightest worry or anxiety about the next action, and felt helpless.

They would have to fight with a group of vicious bandits later, but these people only saw the immediate benefits and completely ignored the danger of this matter.

Does he really want to take them to gamble on this extraterrestrial fortune?

The village chief began to struggle. He wanted to regret it. If things didn't go as he wanted, he would lose his wife and lose his troops!

The villagers standing in front saw his hesitation keenly. They looked at each other and started to wink at the people behind them to calm down everyone.

"This is a big deal today. I don't know if I can bring everyone back safely. If anyone is scared, just go home..."

Seeing that they were quiet, the village chief knew that it was impossible to go back on his word now, so he had no choice but to press forward, but he still had to make it clear what he should say.

"You all know that the other purpose of our trip is dangerous, so you need to be more careful, follow the instructions and don't mess around."

"we know."

A uniform voice sounded, indicating that they had the same intention.

"Let's go up the mountain as before. Be careful not to leak anything. No one knows if there is someone watching us secretly."

Because Li Manping needed to point out the general direction, she also walked in front.

Nothing unusual happened along the way, and Li Manping didn't feel like she was being spied on until they arrived at where they were in the morning.

The surroundings were peaceful, with only the gentle breeze rustling through the leaves. Li Manping looked around, shook her head at her father and pointed in the same direction that morning.

No one is prying around, it's safe here now.

Li Yixing nodded, and after chatting quietly with the village chief, someone led people to sneak silently on both sides in the direction she pointed out.

They grew up in this mountain range and are familiar with the mountains and forests. They know the terrain ahead and how to move forward in perfect hiding.

"Alright, the rest of us will quickly chop wood. Also chop down the dead trees. Let's take them down the mountain together later."

Village Chief Liu took the lead and started their business. Dealing with the bandits was just a matter of convenience. It was a matter of self-protection and elimination of threats. Accumulating firewood was their main priority for survival and they could not be careless.

Li Manping was stunned and looked at the villagers who were moving. Then she realized that she had always thought that so many people were here to fight the bandits. It turned out that was not the case. They were just here to hold up the scene just in case.

Okay, she is ignorant and narrow-minded, so she should work.

She followed Li Yixing, pulling as hard as she could on the branches, and put them together for tying. She still felt unhappy. She thought she would see a battle with bandits, but there was heavy thunder and little rain, but nothing happened.

"Dad, do you think you need me to come with you in this situation? I feel like I'm just here to work. Look at the palms of my hands, they are all broken and blistered."

Li Manping put her palms in front of her father's eyes and showed him the results of her daughter's hard work, two small blisters.

Li Yixing glanced at her palms. The originally white and tender palms were stained black and blue by the juice from the branches. There were also scratches and blisters on the palms. He felt a little distressed.

"You just sit and play. I don't need your help here. I asked you to follow because the general direction of the bandits has not changed. Without you, how can they determine the general direction and search blindly in the forest?"

"Oh, is that so?"

Li Manping rubbed her hands and ran off to play nonchalantly. She wanted to see if there were any species nearby that could enrich the space.

It would be even better if we could catch wild boar and hare cubs.

About an hour later, a young villager trotted back happily. Looking at the corners of his grinning mouth, you knew they had found someone.

"How is it? Where is he?"

"That's right, kid, please tell me."

The village chief and a dozen villagers immediately gathered around, asking in low voices while excited, and others gathered around unconsciously.

"Get out of the way, all of you listen to me, don't interrupt me."

The young villager pushed aside the people who were crowding him in front and behind him, looked at the village chief Liu Wenhao with a smile on his face, and made dancing gestures, obviously very happy.

"Village chief, you don't know how lucky we are. We walked around for ten or so and found that they actually went to Aozigou. Haha, they are still burying pots for cooking in Aozigou."

Village Chief Liu didn’t even know what to say. Was it because God was helping them even though the place looked hidden and there were mountain springs and pools, but it was a place that was easy to get off but not easy to get up to. At an angle, the slope is steep and high.

However, the water and grass there are plentiful, and wild animals often come to drink water. I guess they went down there after seeing wild animals.

The villagers stopped cutting firewood and gathered around to inquire. When they heard that they were hunting wild animals for cooking in Aozigou, they were immediately excited and wanted to join the encirclement and suppression.

"What are you thinking about? There are too many people. Are you afraid that they won't be able to find you? Go back and chop wood quickly. I want to freeze to death on your kang in the winter."

The village chief drove away the spectators and gave instructions to the most skilled group of people.

"Liu Dali, be careful. Bring a hundred or so people there. Remember to bring all the guns, adapt to the situation according to the plan, and protect yourselves."

Liu Dali and the young man nodded at the same time, and reached out to beckon the people who were already carrying guns to run forward. There were many of them, but they made very little movement. They could not hear the sound if they were a little further away.

After watching them leave, the village chief had no intention of chopping firewood, so he tied up the cut branches and looked up in that direction from time to time, hoping to see them all return intact.

Liu Dali trotted along with Liu Yong, passing tall trees and clumps of withered thatch vines with light and fast steps. He did not slow down until he was close to his destination.

From time to time, a cool breeze blew in the woods, whining and blowing past them, bringing with it a chill. Looking at the villagers lying not far away in front of them, Liu Dali tightened his cotton clothes and lay down lightly. On the ground, crawling with people all the way.

"What's going on now, is everyone down there?"

He leaned into someone's ear and asked softly.

The villager shrank back and nodded, "We have been watching, everyone is here, they are about to finish eating, we have to act fast."

Liu Dali nodded carefully and began to direct the people behind him to spread out to both sides to surround him. There were many of them and they could surround this place.

"Everyone, please be alert. There is a problem."

Brother Biao in the den seemed to feel the chilling atmosphere. He threw away the uneaten roe deer meat in his hand, quickly raised his old sleeve rifle, looked around sharply, and finally fixed his gaze on the place where he was. The place is located on a slope dozens of meters high.

The other bandits paused for a second and then came to their senses. They immediately threw away the pheasant meat and roe deer meat in their hands, grabbed their box gun pistols and Type [-] bolt-action rifles, looked around warily, and gradually moved closer together. .

"Bang, bang..."

Brother Biao fired two shots up the slope and turned around to look for a place to hide. However, he searched around and found no big rocks or trees. He was so angry that he cursed.

"Damn, it's his grandma's fault. Whoever led the way brought me into the ditch."

"boom…

boom…"

Following Brother Biao's gunfire, others also began to shoot upwards randomly, and the gunshots suddenly continued.
