At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Li Shuangrong had been out for an unknown amount of time. Cen Shu, his mother, and his two brothers were staying in the closet, and the air had become thin. Suddenly, footsteps were heard. They almost held their breath, fearing that they would be discovered.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The sound of cloth shoes stepping on the brick floor was heavy and clear. Li Shuangrong was wearing straw sandals, so this person must be the thief.

Cen Shu was held tightly in his mother's arms, but he also felt the danger and his hair stood on end.

Li Yishen and Li Yiqiu leaned on their mother, and Cen Shu could feel that they were trembling.

The moment the cabinet door was opened, Cen Shu immediately scooped a bucket of water from the space and poured it on his face. The thief was totally unprepared and was splashed. Zhao Xiuer didn't care to be afraid, she stuffed Fubao into Li Yisheng's arms and hit him on the head with a stick.

"I'll beat you to death if you break in! Beat you to death!" Zhao Xiuer waved her arms around to delay time.

Li Shuangrong ran back almost the moment he heard the sound, fearing that he would be late. Unexpectedly, someone arrived earlier than him.

Cen Shu watched helplessly as another person came in from the door. He had a well-proportioned and strong body, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not comparable to those mobs. He became even more worried, fearing that his mother would be bullied.

The man came up and snatched the stick from Zhao Xiuer's hand, hit the thief on the head with the stick, and knocked him unconscious.

Cen Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they were not in the same group. However, why did this person look both unfamiliar and familiar?

Li Shuangrong followed in and saw the person who helped his wife. He asked excitedly, "Ah Heng, when did you come back?"

Only then did Cen Shu remember the brat that his grandmother always talked about, Li Shuheng, who was his own uncle.

Li Shuheng touched his head and said, "I just came back half an hour ago, and before I even entered the door, I saw someone sneaking around the wall. I didn't intend to let them in, but there were too many of them, so it took some effort."

As he was talking, the eldest family and the old man and old lady came over, still in shock, shouting, "Second brother, how are you? I hope no one is hurt."

When Zhou Qiaoping saw the man in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, then she came up and hit him, "You little bastard, you've been gone for two years and there's not even a single message from me. Do you still have this family in your heart?"

Li Shuheng bent his knees on the spot, knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed to his parents several times, and said, "I am an unfilial son."

Zhou Qiaoping's eyes turned red and tears flowed down her face, but she couldn't bear to say another harsh word. She let Li Darong rush up and make fun of her.

Li Shuheng: "Who did our family offend? Someone actually dared to climb the wall in the street, and he was carrying a knife."

Li Huaiqing tapped his pipe on the edge of the kang and said, "There's a severe drought in our area and the wells are running out of water. Wang Ren brought a group of people to surround the village well today and beat up your eldest and second brothers."

Li Shuheng immediately cursed: "How shameless! Are you bullying me, the Li family, who has no one? I'm going to find him now."

Zhou Qiaoping hurriedly stopped the man and said, "Don't leave so late at night. Have you eaten? Mom will make you some pancakes."

Li Shuheng shook his head and said, "Mother, I have other things to do in the army. If I hadn't seen the thieves when I passed by the gate today, I wouldn't have delayed. Now there are people waiting for me at the gate. I have to leave after I deal with these thieves."

Zhou Qiaoping wiped her tears but couldn't say anything to try to keep her son. Her son had a bright future and was determined to defend his country. How could she, as a mother, stop him?

Li Shuheng took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, which contained more than twenty taels of silver. He took out a small longevity lock from it, walked up to Cen Shu, and said, "What's the child's name?"

Zhao Xiuer said: "She hasn't been given an official name yet, and everyone at home calls her Fubao."

Li Shuheng looked at her curious eyes and said with a smile: "Fubao, you sound lucky. Uncle will give Fubao a meeting gift, okay? Then he put the longevity lock on Cen Shu's chest."

Zhao Xiuer waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's too expensive."

Zhou Qiaoping took the longevity lock and put it on Cen Shu, saying, "It's for Fubao, so keep it well."

Cen Shu looked at his uncle's appearance, which was 60% similar to his father, but more heroic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was always a handsome guy. He stuffed all the silver in his hand to Zhou Qiaoping and turned around and walked into the yard.

The summer night breeze was not cold. Cen Shu was carried to the yard by her mother and saw a yard full of people tied up and piled on the ground.

Li Shuheng went up to Wang Ren, kicked him in the chest, and said, "Now you have to answer whatever I say, or you will go to see the King of Hell."

Wang Ren didn't recognize him at all. He didn't even dare to look up and just said yes timidly.

Li Shuheng: "What are you doing here? What deep hatred do the Li family have against you that would make you so despicable as to sneak into my house with a knife."

Wang Ren said cautiously, with a tearful voice: "I was possessed by a ghost. I just wanted to steal some silver. I didn't intend to do anything else."

Li Shuheng was furious and shouted, "Do you need so many people with knives to steal a little money? You want to kill our whole family!"

Wang Ren, whose secret was exposed, trembled on the ground, not daring to admit: "No, no, no, I didn't mean to kill anyone."

Cen Shu looked at Wang Ren and always felt that something was wrong. He didn't have to kill people just because he didn't collect the money for well water.

Li Shuheng leaned over to Wang Ren's ear and said something. Wang Ren immediately opened his eyes wide and denied it flatly: "I didn't mean to kill anyone, no!"

Li Shuheng drew out the dagger from his waist, stabbed it between Wang Ren's legs, and said, "If you have any evil ideas again, try it."

Li Shuheng and his colleagues had been in the army for a long time, so interrogation was no problem for them.

Soon they understood the situation. Wang Ren brought nearly 20 people with him. They were not from legitimate backgrounds. He brought them from the bandit den on Mingmie Mountain, 40 miles away, to rob money. The gambling house was a den of Heiyun Village. Wang Ren owed money and the people wanted a hand. This black-hearted guy actually said that he had money and could give 100 taels of silver, but he wanted to borrow a few people to go back and get it.

He has been acting tyrannically these days. In addition to collecting money for well water, he has also been doing the dirty work of kidnapping and selling people. However, he has only done this in other villages before. This is the first time he has done it to people from his own village. He knows that the Li family has many men and Li Shuangrong is very strong, but the customer wants a baby girl who is less than 100 days old, so he has to take a risk. If he succeeds this time, he will get 500 taels of silver.

Zhang Ercui was shocked and said, "Five hundred taels!"

Zhou Qiaoping slapped her on the shoulder and said sternly, "Five thousand taels, so what? My Fubao is priceless. If you dare to have such thoughts, the Li family will not tolerate you."

Zhang Ercui rubbed her shoulders and whispered back, "I didn't say I was going to sell her..."

The looks from her family scared her. She was just thinking about it, not really selling the child. But a little girl was worth five hundred taels... But her mother-in-law's threat also made her dare not think about it anymore.

Li Shuheng asked the reason and hurriedly transferred the people to the county government. He left a friend with a fierce look to help the family deal with the group of people and was about to leave. He jumped on the horse, and his majestic appearance made the children admire him.

Li Yiqiu got to the front and shouted, "Uncle! Take me with you, I want to be a general too!"

Li Shuheng smiled and said, "Yi Qiu, when you grow up, your uncle will take you with him."

After saying this, he nodded slightly to his family members and said, "Take care! If anyone dares to bully me again, write me a letter."

Under the reluctant gaze of their family members, Li Shuheng and several of his brothers whipped their horses and walked away.
