The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 61 61 Bandit

   Zhou Jia stroked the sleeve arrow on his arm and wanted to ask again, Ruyi whispered a warning on it: "Master, someone is coming."

Jixiang quickly picked up the bow and arrow and rushed to the parapet, looking at the man in black walking towards Zhou's house, pricked up his ears and listened to the approaching footsteps, "There are about ten people, and the footsteps are heavy, so there shouldn't be much effort. ."

   The few people who came over were exactly those bandits, who just grabbed it from the Xu family and prepared to come back to the Zhou family for a vote.

Ruyi and Jixiang raised their bows and aimed at the two bandits within the range. With two 'swish' sounds, the arrows flew away from the string, and with two muffled 'sudden' sounds, they hit two thieves. Bandit, the bandit fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow.

   When the other thieves saw that the two people in front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, they quickly hid in the dark and shouted at the people behind: "Second master, what should I do? This family has bows and arrows."

  The second master looked at the Zhou family and snorted coldly: "It seems that this family is ready, it's about to dawn, we don't have enough manpower today to go back and bring enough manpower to come back."

   Several thieves glanced at the Zhou family mansion not far away, dragged the two who fell to the ground and turned away reluctantly.

   Ruyi and Jixiang leaned against the wall, watching the few people walk away quickly, Jixiang jumped off the wall, "Master, they have already left."

   Zhou Jia listened to the movement outside for a while, but still couldn't put her heart down: "Go to Li's house to check that the news is safe and let her rest in peace."

   Jixiang complained in his heart as he ran: It's really time for the young master to return Miss Li, Miss Li.

   Li Yu was lying on the bed dozing off, secretly worried that the locusts would loot the bandits overnight. It seems that everyone underestimated the severity of this drought.

  If the drought and the locust plague continue, it may cause even greater disasters. It seems that the escape route this time may not be smooth.

   As soon as Jixiang entered the courtyard, Li Yu stood up and opened the door of the main room. Jixiang stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Li, the bandit has left, the young master said that you can rest in peace."

  Li Yu nodded, "Okay, go back and let your young master rest for a while."

   "Yes." Jixiang bowed and opened the courtyard door and left. Li Yu went to close the courtyard door and went back to the house to lie down and fell asleep.

   It was just dawn when the gate of the Xu family's courtyard opened. A group of people came out of the courtyard and walked out of the village.

  The villagers looked at them from a distance and talked a lot, "I think the people in his family seem to be fine. It seems that they have handed over their belongings. Otherwise, it is not too bad for these bandits to live in peace."

   One person retorted angrily: "Bah, what nonsense are you talking about, it's drought and locusts, food and money are gone, is there any way for the Xu family to survive?"

An old man with white hair sighed: "The rotten boat still has three pounds of nails, and the Xu family is better than you and me in the mountain bandits, so go back! Pack up, pack up, and escape with your wife and children while you still have the strength. Go further and find a way out."

  The villagers who lived near the Xu family had lingering fears about what happened to the Xu family last night. They all gathered in front of the village chief's house. They sighed as they looked at the bare bamboo poles in the bamboo forest and the locusts flying back and forth.

   "I still want to stay at home and get through this drought, but even the Xu family was robbed last night, and there is no one household in the East Village to help. It seems that the village is not peaceful!"

An older old man looked at him with a wry smile: "You have never experienced it at a young age, and as long as you suffer a disaster and don't survive, it's us, so let's run away before we're hollowed out and we still have the strength to escape! "

A man with a face full of resentment slammed his fist on the wall of the village chief's house: "Alas! God, thief, this is not leaving us a way to live! After eating everything, there is less and less water, and everyone can only wait for thirst. starved to death."

  Old age, he stood up tremblingly: "If you are strong, take your daughter-in-law and children to escape! If I can't walk, I won't leave, and I will die sooner than later."

The village chief stood behind the courtyard door and listened to everyone sighing. He frowned and hesitated for a moment before opening the courtyard door, and said to the villagers who were squatting at the door: "The Xu family was robbed last night, and if you want to leave, go home and prepare. , we will meet at the entrance of the village at 90 o'clock tomorrow, and we will set off as soon as the hour arrives."

   Everyone stood up when they heard the village chief's words: "Know the village chief, then we will go back and prepare to go."

  Everyone went home separately and ran back home. The village seemed to be busy with slaughtering pigs and slaughtering chickens.

   Li Mei's family became more determined to follow Li Yu to escape the famine after the robbery of the Xu family last night.

  Liu Changmin stood in the yard, looking at the newly built house with reluctance, he sighed and slowly put the packaged salute and put it on the ox cart in the same way.

  Zhao Di and Laidi came out of the room with the quilt in their arms. Zhao Di looked at Li Mei who was sitting on the chair by the table in the main room: "Mother, let's go! Go to cousin's house first."

Li Mei looked at the tables and chairs in the room reluctantly. Tears fell, and she choked and said, "Alas! I finally have my own home, woo woo... It's only been a few days of peaceful days, Going to flee again."

  Laidi sisters looked at Li Mei with red eyes, and stepped forward to hold Li Mei's hand: "Mother, let's go! Grandma will come later."

  Li Mei wiped away her tears, picked up the clothes on the table, and said resolutely, "Let's go!"

  The family went out of the courtyard, and Liu Changmin locked the door with a lock, and drove the ox cart towards Li Yu's house without looking back.

   Li Yu got up and found that the sun was getting high too. When he went out, he saw Li Mei and Li Qing, packing dried grass into sacks.

  Li Qing looked up and saw Li Yu coming out, and said with concern: "Sister, go eat some food while the food is warm in the pot."

   Li Mei looked at Li Yu worriedly: "Yu'er, the Xu family was robbed last night, and there are probably more people who are going to escape today."

  Li Yu nodded: "Jixiang came to tell me last night."

  Li Yu remembered that the Zhou family felt that his family was also the target of the robbers, so he thought that they should also live here so that everyone could be safe together.

   "Aqing, you go to Zhou's house and ask them to bring everything over. We all live together so that we can take care of it."

   "Okay." Li Qing put down the sack and left.

  Li Yu went back to the house and took out the water bag and handed it to Li Mei, "Aunt, boil some mint leaves in water and put it in the water bag."

  Zhao Di took a pair of shoes, walked in from outside and handed them to Li Yu: "Cousin, look, I sewed a layer of leather on the soles and uppers of the shoes, so that the soles will not be easily worn on long journeys."

  Li Yu took a look at it and praised with a thumbs up: "Zhao Di is really smart, and the needlework is also good, so that you don't have to worry about the wear and tear of your shoes."

  Zhao Di laughed happily, and said to Li Yu cheerfully, "Then me and Laidi sew a few more pairs out."

  Li Mei looked at Zhao Di and nodded gratified: "Go! Sew a few more pairs, I don't know how long it will take!"

   Butcher He took Xiaoyu to Li Yu's house, Xiaoyu looked at Father He who was frowning: "Father, Sister Xiaoyu, are they really going to escape?"

   Butcher He pointed to the locusts in the field: "If you don't escape, do you stay here and wait to die? According to the situation, it won't be relieved in three or five years."

   When the father and daughter arrived at Li Yu's house, Butcher He smiled and said to Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, how about uncle who also wants to go with us on the road?"

   Li Yu nodded with a smile: "Okay! Everyone has a support when they walk together."

  Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu, pouted and complained: "Sister Xiaoyu, you're not funny, you don't even tell me you want to leave or tell me when you get engaged."

  Li Yu smiled awkwardly: "Xiaoyu is sorry for you, I forgot about it."

   Butcher He looked at Xiaoyu: "Stinky girl! You think your little sister is as idle as you are! Let's go! Let's go back and pack up and go together tomorrow morning."

   "Okay, Uncle He, tomorrow we will meet you all at the entrance of the village at Mao Shizhong and set off together."

   "Okay, everyone will meet at the entrance of the village in Mao Shizhong." Butcher He took Xiaoyu back to prepare to go.
