Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

There are nearly one hundred and eighty bandits on the mountain, posing a huge threat!

However, he was entangled in a new problem.

Should we tell the village chief that there are still 178 bandits on the mountain?

If he did, how would he explain it?

He stays in the village every day, but he knows the number of bandits so clearly. Isn't it too outrageous?

Fortunately, his dilemma did not last long.

After the head of Shangshui Village sent the criminals to the county, the county magistrate was furious when he heard about it and hurried to the court to try the case.

Because of Xiaoqing's "torture" and the fact that bandits are naturally afraid of officials, all of these people confessed in less than a day.

No matter their origins, number of people or purpose, everything was explained in detail.

This group of people are bandits who fled over from Matou Mountain.

Originally, they made a living by robbing passing caravans and wealthy families, and lived a comfortable life.

As a result, a drought hit one day and there was no water in the mountains, so we couldn’t even cook a meal.

They expanded the scope of their robbery, but their gains became less and less. On the eve of the water shortage, they had to go down the mountain to seek survival.

However, how could the bandits, who were used to a life of debauchery, possibly suffer and struggle to survive with the common people?

At this time, water and food are the most important resources, especially clean water, which is an important strategic resource.

Therefore, even if there was a water transport team every few days, they did not dare to grab it.

At this juncture, if anyone dares to openly provoke the government and cut off their water supply, they will surely be subjected to crazy encirclement and retaliation.

They didn't dare to snatch the clean water that the officials were escorting, so they set their sights on ordinary people.

There were more than 200 of them, all young and strong men, who made a living by robbing water and food along the way. Wherever they passed, no grass grew.

After robbing a village, they would immediately move to another location, and the government would have no time to chase them.

As they became more adept at doing this, the bandits, who originally only robbed water and food, became increasingly rampant, and their ambitions grew wildly over time.

They not only robbed water and food, but also took pleasure in killing people.

They committed arson, murder, looting and cruelty, and all sorts of evil.

They have been keeping an eye on Shangshui Village for several days.

After discovering that they brought back a large amount of clean water every day, they became eager to take action.

However, in order to find out the source of the clean water, they patiently observed for several days.

However, although they followed the people from Shangshui Village to the small mountain village, the patrol team in the small mountain village was dense and wary of strangers. They were completely tight-lipped and it was impossible for them to find a breakthrough.

After staying in the mountains for a few days, the water they carried with them had run out, so they decided to send some people to explore the bottom.

Obviously, we have hit the pit this time.

More than 20 people were captured and have not been able to return to the mountain. The leaders of Matou Mountain were extremely anxious.

"What's wrong with the third brother? He slaughtered a whole village and hasn't come back in a day!"

The boss's face was filled with anger, but his heart was beating wildly, as if there was a huge rock hanging on his chest, swinging wildly.

"Maybe it's a bit troublesome to move the things. Otherwise, should we send someone to take a look?"

The second in command also felt something was wrong, but he was not as impatient as the first in command. He remained calm and offered advice.

"Not good! Not good!"

Just when the boss wanted to go and see for himself, an anxious voice was heard outside the simple tent.

"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

The second in command scolded.

"Boss, Second Boss, something terrible is happening!"

The man had shifty eyes but a muscular body. At this moment, he stopped running, panting, hunched over, and spoke breathlessly[1].

"What's the big deal?"

"Third, Third Boss! He's been caught! And, all of them, have been caught!"

After the visitor finished speaking incoherently, the faces of the first and second in command suddenly changed.

"Snapped!"

The boss slapped a hole in the makeshift tent, obviously he was furious.

"Who is it? How dare you touch my people from Matou Mountain? Don't you want to live?!"

"Tell me more details."

Looking at his younger brother who was shaking with fear, the second in command quickly added a sentence.

At this juncture, it would be better to understand what happened.

There aren't many people in Shangshui Village, so they shouldn't have the ability to detain the third in command.

"Yes, it's the mountain god!"

"The mountain god is angry!"

As he spoke, a look of respect and awe appeared on his face.

"The mountain god appeared in Shangshui Village, saved them, and beat the Third Master and his men so hard that they had no chance to fight back. In the end, he was captured alive by the people of Shangshui Village and has been sent to the government!"

"fart!"

The boss couldn't help but swear.

This third brother is getting more and more outrageous. He can't even take over a small village, yet he makes up some mountain god to fool him!

If there really is a mountain god, why hasn't he seen one in all the years he has been wandering in the mountains?

"Yes, it's true!"

"I heard from many people that it was the mountain god appearing!"

"If you fool me again, you won't see the sun tomorrow!"

The boss gritted his teeth and wanted to get his big knife.

The second in command was much calmer. He patted the boss's arm and signaled him to calm down.

"Tell me the whole story again."

The man trembled as he recounted in detail everything he had heard and seen.

Amidst a flurry of murmurs, the first and second in command learned the source of the matter.

It turned out that it was a giant python that saved the people of Shangshui Village.

Although I don't know how such a cold-blooded animal could be so kind as to save people, but if he can't afford to provoke him, can't he just hide from him?

Sheungshui Village cannot be moved, there are several villages next door!

He just didn't believe that every village could be protected by the illusory "mountain god".

The boss looked in the direction of the small mountain village.

That was the territory he had set his eyes on, and if he didn't grab it, he would be betraying his evil nature.

"The third brother has been sent to the government. For the sake of our many brothers, we have no choice but to give him up."

The boss looked at the second in command and did not refute him.

We are all good brothers, but when the difficulties come, no one is willing to go through it together.

"Tonight, everyone is mobilized. The goal is to clear out the small mountain village!"

The boss finally made up his mind.

"Just enter the village and start looting, then run away."

"If they're not persistent, you can ignore them."

The big boss gave the order.

Only the things you grab are yours. It’s not too late to do other entertainment activities when you reach the next village.

-

Ye Yaoyao didn't know that the bandits had already set their sights on the small mountain village.

She asked Ye Xiaoqing to expand the patrol range to include the entire small mountain village.

If there is any movement in the four nearby villages, timely support must be provided.

Of course, at the moment, I can protect myself and have some strength to spare.

Although the friendship between neighbors is precious, no one can surpass this small family.

The patrol work in the small mountain village is done very skillfully.

It wandered leisurely in the yellow wild grass, in the dark corners, and on the beams...

While observing the situation in the village, it also paid attention to the movements around it.

Note [1]: The phrase “out of breath” comes from the seventh chapter of The Complete Biography of the Eight Immortals by Wu Que Dao Ren in the Qing Dynasty: “In an instant, the river floated hundreds of miles away, drowning the righteous and public-spirited mouse to the point of being out of breath.”
