After walking forward for a while, the convoy came to a rocky forest, and out of the rocky forest came twenty or so men with shabby clothes, sallow skin, old and young, holding hoes, machetes, A man with an axe and a stick stopped Li Yu and his convoy.

   A tall, square-faced man shouted with a machete, "We only need the things in the car, put them down, and let you go."

   Li Yu put down the crossbow machine in his hand, frowned and said to Zhou Jia: "These people are not like bandits, they are like a group of hungry people."

   Zhou Jia nodded and said to Xu Chun, "Show them our identity and scare them away."

  Xu Chun shouted loudly: "We are officials sent by the imperial court to Qingchuan, so hurry up and leave."

After listening to the two tall square-faced bandits who rushed in front, they froze for a moment, clenched the machete in their hands, and shouted nervously: "It's you dog officials who are robbing you, big guy, come on. ."

A few men waved their machetes and rushed towards Li Yu's carriage. Xu Chun, Xu Dong, and Ruyi jumped out of the carriage with machetes and rushed towards the mountain bandits. Halfway through, the mountain bandit in front of them. As if he had tripped over something, he fell to the ground with a "thump" sound, and the machete in his hand flew away and fell on the heel of the bandit in front of him. The bandit who rushed behind couldn't stop and fell. On him, this time, the mountain bandits who ran behind were stunned when they saw the two who fell to the ground.

  Li Yu looked at the group of bandits and sighed; what a godly operation!

  Yang Wei looked at the two people who fell on the ground in a hurry, laughed out loud, and smiled at Mr. Qian: "Hee hee, being so stupid, how dare you come to rob."

   "Alas! The sufferings come and go are the suffering of the common people!" Mr. Qian shook his head and sighed.

A few men rushed in front, one of them was taken away by Xu Chun with the machete in his hand, kicked to the ground, two were swept to the ground by Ruyi's flying kick, and the mountain bandits running behind saw that the situation was not good. Turn around and run away.

   The man who had the machete snatched by Xu Chun lay on the ground and looked at the machete that was slashing at him. He hugged his head in fright and shouted, "Stop robbing, you all go! We won't rob."

   Li Yu couldn't help laughing and crying in the car, and shouted to Xu Chun and Ruyi: "Master Xu, Ruyi, don't hurt their lives, just teach them a lesson."

   "Yes, Madam." After a few people responded, they said to the bandits lying on the ground: "Madam said it's enough to teach you a lesson. Do you think it's a broken leg or a broken hand?"

The    square-faced man shrank his hands and feet and shouted, "Master, spare your life! If you interrupt my hands and feet, I will not be able to work or support my family, and the elderly and children in the family will starve to death."

   Several other men also kept begging for mercy, Xu Chun looked at Zhou Jia who was standing in front of the car and said, "Sir, what should I do?"

   Zhou Jia said to several people: "You already have the intention of robbing money and harming others. If you don't teach you a lesson, you will rob other pedestrians."

Several people lay on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, we are the victims of the disaster in Qingzhou. When we were passing through Qingfengling, our luggage was robbed by the mountain bandits on the mountain. Later, we fled to Qi County, where we lived and earned money. Just enough to make ends meet. A few days ago, Qi County checked the household registration. We were driven out of the city as refugees. We really had no way to live, so we did this deed. My lord, please spare us! If you are young, you will have no way to live if you break your hands and feet."

Zhou Jia looked at several people with red eyes and tears, pitiful appearance, and sighed: "I think you are a first-time offender, I will spare you this time, and you will immediately set off back to your place of origin in Qingzhou, and ask the government to renew your household registration. Household registration, you can go to Qingchuan to find your official to settle down in Qingchuan, and you must not stay here again.”

   A few people got up and kept saying, "Thank you, sir, we'll go now." A few people turned and ran towards the woods.

   Zhou Jia looked at the victims who disappeared in the woods, and said to Ruyi several people: "Fortunately, there is no danger, let's go too!"

   After getting into the car, Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, "Yu'er, the nearby Qi County has started to clean up the displaced people, and Qingchuan is still more than a month away. I don't know how many disaster victims will return to their hometown!"

  Li Yu smiled and said, "How many victims Qingchuan can return depends on whether they live well in the place where they escaped from the famine, and whether they are taken in or not, like a person who settled in Fengming Village. Do you think he is willing to return to his place of origin?"

   Zhou Jia agreed: "Yeah! I'm afraid none of the folks in Fengming Village are willing to go back to Xishan Village."

The men ran back to the woods in one breath, but they fled back and hid behind the pile of rocks, looked at the dozen men outside, and ran straight to a large rock. There were dozens of men, women and children behind the rock. personal.

The round-faced man was panting, leaning on the big stone and sitting on the ground, complaining to the villagers who were waiting there: "Ouch! I almost won't be able to come back, Erzhu and the others are too bad, seeing that we were caught and turned around. Just run, fortunately we were lucky enough to be let go by them."

   The tall and thin man complained to the dejected man beside him and said, "It's all your fault, Qiang, how did you fall to the ground, tripping me too, and the kid in the car laughed at us for being stupid."

  A Qiang hugged his head, squatted on the ground and said, "I, I was so afraid in my heart, I tripped over a stone on the ground again and fell."

The gray-haired old man sighed: "I just said that we can't go. We Majiagou people have been innocent for generations. Besides, we are just a group of people who eat and eat in the soil. Get up and go back to your hometown!"

   The old woman sitting next to her clapped her legs and cried, "We have to pass Qingfengling when we go back. Those bandits will let us go? The household registration and land deeds are gone. How can I live when I go home?"

The square-faced man suddenly remembered what the man who looked like an official said to the old man, "Uncle the village chief, the official said, let's go back to Qingzhou to get the household registration. Are you kidding us?"

   The village chief's eyes lit up after hearing this, grabbed the man and asked, "Agui, did he really say that?"

The round-faced man leaning on the stone touched his head and said, "I remember that the driver said that they were officials sent by the imperial court to Qingchuan, and they asked us to retreat. Your brother also said that it was you who were robbed. official."

After hearing this, the old man panicked, packed up the salutes on the ground, and urged: "Quick, quick, everyone, quickly carry the salute and follow them. Since they are officials, they will not be afraid of the bandits in Qingfengling. We will follow. If they go behind, everyone will be safe."

   Everyone picked up their luggage in a hurry, looked at the old man worriedly and said, "Uncle Village Chief, can we catch up? They are all carriages!"

  The old man waved his hand and said, "Hurry up! We're going through the woods, and we won't be able to catch up any later."

   The group, with their family and mouth, chased after Li Yu and the others.
