Exiled 3,000 miles away? Don't worry, Madam has space.
Chapter 187: Village Chief, something happened!
Ye Qinglin blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Liu Shitou and Gu Qingyu had become so close without her realizing it.
Glancing at the shy looks of the two and then looking at the gossipy faces of the five little ones, Ye Qinglin immediately drove them away to prevent them from affecting the sweet couple.
"Aunt Four, why did you chase us away? We haven't seen enough!" Xie Cong felt a little regretful.
Liu Qingzhi nodded repeatedly: "That's right, we finally ran into Uncle Liu and Aunt Gu together."
Although the other three did not speak, the emotions revealed in their eyes were similar to Xie Cong's.
Ye Qinglin rolled her eyes at the five little ones and gave each of them a slap on the face.
"You are so young, but you like to hide away and watch gossip. You have forgotten the etiquette your teacher taught you."
The five little ones quickly realized that this behavior was wrong, and instead of saying anything, they lowered their heads.
Seeing the five little ones in low spirits, Ye Qinglin coughed lightly and tried to find something for them to do: "Okay, go out and play. Don't stay at home all day."
The five little ones were happy when they heard that they could go out and play.
Ye Qinglin told them to be careful when going out.
Afterwards, Ye Qinglin came to the main hall to find Xie Xu.
As soon as she walked in, a villager ran in hurriedly: "Li Zheng, something happened!"
Xie Xu stood up suddenly, his expression gloomy: "What happened?"
"The hunter in the village had a big fight with his wife yesterday, saying that there was no meat at home, so the hunter went to the mountains to hunt. Who would have thought that he didn't catch anything, but got injured. He was stabbed in the chest and is almost dead."
Hearing the sound, Ye Qinglin and Xie Xu looked at each other, and the first person they thought of was from Bei Nu who ran over.
"I'll go over and take a look now." As Xie Xu finished speaking, he was about to go out when Ye Qinglin stopped him and gave him a bag of spring water, asking Xie Xu to consider how to use it.
Xie Xu understood what Ye Qinglin meant, gave her a reassuring look, and turned and left.
Ye Qinglin also wanted to go with him, but her family did not allow her to do so. Besides, everyone in the village knew that she was in confinement after childbirth. If she went to someone else's house, who knows what rumors would arise.
Xie Erlang, Xie Sanlang, Uncle Li and Uncle Wang, who were originally chatting with Xie Xu, saw that Ye Qinglin's expression was not right. The four of them looked at each other and spoke after a while.
"Sister-in-law, has something happened?" Xie Erlang was the first to speak.
Xie Sanlang quickly agreed: "Yes, don't take on everything by yourselves, we are a family."
Uncle Li and Uncle Wang also looked at Ye Qinglin seriously.
Ye Qinglin pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and decided that she should tell Xie Erlang and others about what happened in Beinu.
After listening, Xie Erlang and others remained silent.
"You are so brave!" Xie Sanlang was the first to speak, his tone was a little unhappy: "What if this is a trap set by the Northern Slave Regent?"
"I also think you are too reckless!" Xie Erlang agreed.
Uncle Li and Uncle Wang looked at Ye Qinglin with sullen faces: "Fourth Madam, you should have told us. There are only two of you. What will we do if something goes wrong?"
Seeing four scolding faces, Ye Qinglin lowered her head, looking pitiful as if she was scolded so hard that she dared not speak.
Seeing this, Xie Erlang and the other three quickly put away their expressions and softened their tone: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. We are not mean to you. We just think you are too reckless."
"When Silang comes back, we'll have a good talk with him." Xie Sanlang's tone softened a little.
Before they could wait for Xie Xu to come back, the five little ones came running in hurriedly.
"Uncle 2 and Uncle 3, it's bad. A dozen bandits have appeared on the hilltop." Xie Cong said breathlessly.
The other four children nodded: "We all saw it."
"The bandits have been wiped out. It's impossible for bandits to appear again." Xie Sanlang said with a serious face.
Xie Erlang didn't know about this, but he looked at Ye Qinglin suspiciously. Seeing that Ye Qinglin's face was not right, he quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know something?"
"I suspect it's from the Northern Slaves."
As soon as these words fell, everyone thought of what Ye Qinglin had just said, their faces suddenly changed, they stood up abruptly and looked at the five little ones.
"Did you look at the bandits?"
The four little ones subconsciously looked at Xie Cong, and Xie Cong immediately stood up and spoke.
"Although they were wearing Southern Qi clothes, their shoes were different. There was a totem embroidered on the upper that looked a bit like a flower."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li and Uncle Wang looked at each other and their faces darkened: "It's the Northern Slaves."
There is a kind of flower in the Beinu people, which is called the national flower. Both men and women will have the national flower totem embroidered on their shoes to represent their identity as Beinu people.
The five children heard this and their eyes widened: "So those bandits are from the Northern Slaves?"
Ye Qinglin and the other four nodded slowly.
At this time, Xie Ming stood up.
"In addition to the bandits, we also saw quite a few refugees. They occupied the other side of the hill and knew the bandit leader."
Xie Sanlang's face darkened: "How many people are there in total?"
"About a hundred people."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask: "Including the bandits?"
"There are about 130 people, but I heard from those people that more people from the bandits will come in a couple of days." Xie Cong replied.
Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened and the atmosphere became depressing.
Everyone decided to wait for Xie Xu to come back before they could discuss countermeasures.
After three incense sticks, Xie Xu walked in with a gloomy face. He saw that Ye Qinglin and the others looked strange and frowned slightly: "What happened?"
Ye Qinglin immediately told Xie Xu about the matter.
Xie Xu narrowed his deep eyes: "The injured hunter was injured by the bandits from Beinu, and the hunter said that the bandits' goal was to take over Heishui Village for themselves."
Xie Sanlang snorted coldly, his tone full of contempt: "Fantastic thinking."
"We can't just sit there and wait for death. Xie Cong said that another group of bandits will come over in a few days." Xie Erlang said.
Xie Xu's face was cold, and he spoke word by word: "Then we will act tonight."
"Okay." Xie Erlang and others nodded.
Afterwards, Xie Xu pulled Ye Qinglin back to the room. The two children woke up and looked around with round eyes. When they saw Xie Xu and Ye Qinglin, they grinned, and their smiles were as sweet as they could be.
Seeing the child's smile, Ye Qinglin and Xie Xu also smiled. The two of them held the child and coaxed him gently, and then they talked.
"Xie Xu, you'd better ask Brother Liu for some self-defense powder." Ye Qinglin reminded: "I will give you two bags of spring water, just in case."
Xie Xu did not refuse and nodded slowly: "Alin, you will be home alone tonight, remember to be careful."
"My strength is back now, and my master's wife taught me a set of skills. Most people are no match for me." Ye Qinglin vowed.
Bai Guanyun and others went to Philadelphia to find Xiao Mingyang today and will not be back until tomorrow, otherwise Xie Xu would not have reminded Ye Qinglin.
Before the action at night, Xie Xu asked Duan Shiyin to come and protect Ye Qinglin and the others.
As the sun sets, Xie Xu and others set off.
Half an hour later, Ye Qinglin was coaxing her child to sleep when she heard a noise outside the yard. She narrowed her eyes and her gaze fell on Xie Ling and Xie Li.
"You guys watch the kids, I'll go take a look.
Xie Li nodded, and Xie Ling shook her head: "Fourth Aunt, I'd better go out. My martial arts skills are not bad."
Ye Qinglin smiled and gently touched Xie Ling's head: "Your martial arts are good, but not as good as mine. I don't want you to get hurt."
After the voice fell, Ye Qinglin put the child on the bed and walked out quickly.
