"Cuckoo."

At this time, Qi Cheng's stomach made a rumbling sound. Seeing everyone looking at him, Qi Cheng covered his stomach a little embarrassedly.

"Cuckoo!"

The rumbling sound became louder, and Qi Cheng's face turned red with embarrassment. Oh, that's not right, his stomach didn't make any sound.

Qi Cheng looked around and saw Xiao Changkong's red ears. He was doing the same as him, covering his stomach with his hands.

These two voices were not only heard by Qin Chaoyan, but also by the other group of people, especially the burly man in their lead, Chen Shan.

Looking at this group of children and women, Shen An and Jia San in the team seemed to be quite intimidating.

However, Chen Shan thought, perhaps it was because of the two of them that these children were able to survive.

"Hurry! The bandits are just ahead!"

Hearing the sound from behind, the people behind Chen Shan became a little panicked.

"Boss, they are catching up."

"Hurry back to the village and take the small road."

Chen Shan lifted his foot and looked at Qin Chaoyan and his group. He picked up Qi Cheng, who was closest to him, and said, "Come with us!"

Seeing Chen Shan's actions, Mo Liang and others behind him also picked up a child each. Someone reached out to pull Qin Chaoyan, but when he met her eyes, he suddenly felt a little timid.

"I can walk by myself."

"Right ahead!"

A group of people came from behind, and Chen Shan shouted, "Hurry up! Old rules!"

Seeing this, Shen An and Jia San also followed Chen Shan and his team.

The people chasing behind seemed to be soldiers and officers, wearing official uniforms. I don’t know where they were from.

An arrow shot towards him, and Shen An took out his knife to knock it away.

Chen Shan glanced at him and said, "Thanks, brother."

The group of people dodged left and right. Wei Zhao's four little ones were carried on shoulders, tucked under the armpits, and held in the arms, in all kinds of postures.

Shan Ge was held by the arms by two big men and walked forward, no matter how fast, anxious, or chaotic the pace of Chen Shan and his companions was.

Qin Chaoyan, Shen An, and Jia San can all keep up.

In a forest, the people behind them were completely left behind.

Mo Liang and his companions breathed a sigh of relief and put Wei Zhao and the others down.

Chen Shan put Qi Cheng on the ground and performed a martial arts salute to Shen An.

"Thank you for your help, brother."

Shen An glanced at him and said, "No need to thank me. You could have dodged it without me doing anything."

Chen Shan said: "Not necessarily. If you hadn't helped us just now, we might have been arrested by the soldiers at the entrance to the mountain."

Chen Shan said self-deprecatingly: "I thought I could save you, but I didn't expect that you would save us all."

"I wonder what your names are, who you are, where you are from, and where you are going?"

Shen An remained silent, and Jia San was not going to answer either. Qin Chao, Yan Chao, Shan Ge and the others exchanged glances.

Shan Ge straightened his robe and stood up and said, "Before we answer your question, could you please tell us what happened just now?"

"Why did that group of soldiers chase you? And, what's the point of saving you?"

Qin Chaoyan secretly revealed an expression of appreciation. Well, good, that's a very well said thing.

Mo Liang glared at him from behind and stood next to Chen Shan.

"No, young man, what do you mean? We don't understand your flowery words!" Mo Liang said, "Do you look down on us? Do you?"

The big guys behind him also started yelling, "Boss, you shouldn't have cared about them just now!"

"That's it!"

"I hate these scholars the most in my life. They have bad mouths and bad hearts! Of course, our Mr. Xiao is not that kind of person. He is a good man!"

Chen Shan stopped them, "You guys, stop for a moment." As soon as his voice came out, Mo Liang and the other big men became quiet instantly, like children who had done something wrong.

Chen Shan smiled at Shan Ge and the others and bowed again.

"Sorry, we don't have any bad intentions, we just have a loud voice."

He said, "We are the bandits on Mingcui Mountain."

Bandits?!

Qin Chaoyan was somewhat surprised, but she didn't seem surprised.

Shen An's eyes darkened, but there was no special reaction. Jia San's hand quietly rested on his sword.

"So this is what bandits look like?" Qi Cheng said.

Xiao Changkong asked, "Have you ever robbed anyone or taken gold and silver?"

Chen Shan looked at Xiao Changkong's serious face and said with a smile, "No."

"Then, have you ever killed anyone or done anything bad?" Xiao Changkong asked again.

"No," Chen Shan said frankly, "Not only me, I dare to guarantee with my life that no one in our village has done anything against the law!"

"We have never hurt anyone!" Mo Liang and the others echoed, and a big man even secretly reached out and wiped his slightly red eyes.

Xiao Changkong's eyes were clear, and he said, "Since you haven't done anything bad, you are not bandits."

Qi Cheng also said: "Yes, the mountain bandits are those people who burn, kill, rob, and occupy the mountains as kings as described in the storybooks and storytellers."

Qi Cheng nodded as he spoke, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Since you haven't done anything bad, you are not considered bandits. You, you are," Qi Cheng pondered for a moment and came up with a word. "You are bandits!"

"Yes!" Xiao Changkong agreed, "You are heroes of the outlaws!"

Chen Shan was stunned for a long time, looking at them, and was speechless for a moment.

Mo Liang and the others were silent for a while. The silence was finally broken by the growling sound of Qi Cheng's stomach.

Chen Shan laughed and said, "You must be hungry. If you don't mind, come back to the village with us for a meal!"

Qi Cheng and the others looked at Qin Chaoyan. This action surprised Chen Shan and the others.

Unexpectedly, this group of people was led by a woman named Qin Chaoyan.

"In that case, we are sorry to bother you."

"Hahaha! Stop disturbing me, let's go!" Chen Shan said, "Eat as much as you can today, it's our treat!"

Chen Shan led the way in front, while Mo Liang and others were guarding behind to prevent anyone from catching up.

Qin Chaoyan and the others followed Chen Shan on a wild path in the mountains, which could not even be called a path, as they shuttled through dense grass and rocks.

Finally, there was a wide open space in front of me.

"Coming."

Chen Shan led them for a short distance and houses and fields appeared in front of them.

"We're here. This is our village."

It's more like a village than a village.

There were two young men guarding the gate of the village. When they saw Chen Shan and his group, they immediately stepped forward.

"Village leader! Village leader, you are back!"

"This is?"

"We met them at the foot of the mountain. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to get rid of those hyenas so easily today."

After hearing what Chen Shan said, the two young men became more friendly towards Qin Chaoyan and his party.

"So he is our village's benefactor!"
