Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 45

"Bandits again? Is it the same gang as last time?"

"They're all dead, last time they were all dead, and this time too, there are no survivors."

"Do you think it's still a coincidence? Bandits are rampant under the mountain this winter?"

"No, I don't know either."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Wu helplessly.

Shen Wu and others haven't had a good rest since they were attacked. Even a warrior like Shen Wu can't stand it anymore.

"Go down and rest first, help me call Axiu's father to come in."

Taking advantage of the time when Shen Wu went out and Axiu's father came in, Lin Xiaoxiao took out a pile of supplies from the warehouse and put them on the ground.

When Axiu's father entered the house, he saw many things on the ground, his expression was first surprised and then relieved.He is a believer in Shannv, and he is calm about unreasonable things.

"Old man, here are some quilts, charcoal and ingredients, you can help arrange them. People in the village don't live here at night, so you can only rely on yourself. I will help you prepare dinner before I leave, tonight You and Axiu have to work hard."

"If something happens at night, how can we contact Shannv?" Axiu's father asked eagerly.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out a few firecrackers: "Use this, light it here and throw it out, there will be a loud noise, I can hear it. Be careful when using it, don't throw it into the furnace, it will explode."

Lin Xiaoxiao kept talking, and her subordinates didn't stop moving.Finally, after dealing with Lu Nu's injury, he got up and went to the kitchen to make medicine.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't forget to go to the next door to find someone to come over and watch some green slaves.

It was windy when it was almost dark.

Fang Lie brought people back.

"Shannv, the footprints at the foot of the mountain have been dealt with, and the traps have been set up."

"Uncle Hard Work, you go back to Taoyuan. Tell the village head that I will go back later, so they don't have to worry."

After a while, Wu Yong also came back with the children.

"Shannv, the wind is too strong."

"I see, let the children go back to Taoyuan first, and you go ask Axiu's father what else he needs."

After Lu Nu took the medicine, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to help Er Ya cook.Wu Yong was also helping.

Axiu ran over quietly: "Shannv, my father said that you don't live in the village at night."

Lin Xiaoxiao comforted her and said: "It's too cold at night, people in the village moved to live. You came late, there is no extra space for you. I originally lived in this yard and left it to you. Burn more charcoal at night, Don’t worry, just tell me if it’s not enough.”

"Oh." Axiu looked a little disappointed.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out a can of goat's milk and handed it to Axiu: "You keep this, warm it up before going to bed at night and share it with everyone. Eat well, and the injury will heal quickly."

Erya also comforted Axiu: "We'll come over early tomorrow morning."

Considering that the wounded were resting, Lin Xiaoxiao took everyone back to Taoyuan after the meal was ready.

For the time being, it doesn't matter how Hu Zigui and the others spent the night.

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Taoyuan, the village head and elders came to find her.

"Shannv, is that young master really here?"

"It's him, and there are three others following him, but there is no Wen Shu."

"I heard that they encountered bandits?"

"Yes, this is the second time."

"How can there be bandits in Hua Country? In such a cold day, aren't you afraid of freezing to death outside?"

"I also feel that something is wrong, and I will tell them tomorrow. Everyone knows, but don't panic. At worst, we will stay in Taoyuan and not go out."

"According to the rules of etiquette, I should go to see that person. I will go with Shannu tomorrow." The village chief said.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoxiao and the village chief came to the village, and they brought some snacks made by the villagers.

In the past two years, the millet harvest has been good. In addition to the full-fledged millet cakes, the villagers also learned to use millet flour to make snacks.

For example, steamed rice paste made from millet flour, with dried fruit added, is Lin Xiaoxiao's favorite.

Axiu was already making breakfast, Lin Xiaoxiao brought her the snacks, and the village chief went to talk to Hu Zigui first.

"Axiu, did you have anything to do last night?"

"It's okay. Father watched the first half of the night, and my brother watched the second half of the night. They are still asleep at the moment. Is the mountain girl looking for Father?"

"Don't bother them, I'll go see Green Slave."

Lin Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and woke up Uncle Hu who was sleeping on the floor.

Uncle Hu jumped up, his movements were vigorous like that of an old man.

Lin Xiaoxiao made a silent gesture, then pointed to the green slave on the bed.

Uncle Hu nodded and saluted, picked up the quilt and put it aside.

There are two charcoal basins in the room, one at the foot of the bed and the other at the foot of the floor.The charcoal basin was burning, it must have been burning all night, and the room was still warm.

Lu Nu has not woken up yet, her breathing is steady and her body temperature is normal.The decoction boiled yesterday has anti-inflammatory herbs added, which is very suitable for his constitution.

The green slave followed Hu Zi back since she was a child. Although she was a slave, she ate better than ordinary people.Don't worry about food and clothing, and have a good body foundation.

Lin Xiaoxiao checked Lu Nu's wounds, especially the most serious leg injury. The wound showed no signs of inflammation and was recovering normally.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Uncle Hu went outside to talk.

"Shannv, the green slave has not woken up."

"Yesterday's decoction added sleep aid drugs, so that falling asleep will help the injury recover, and he will feel pain when he wakes up."

"He hasn't eaten for a long time."

"Steam an egg custard for him later, and drink some goat's milk. If he wants to eat, he can also eat some easily digestible snacks. I will make medicine for him later, so that he can continue to sleep."

"Trouble Shannu, just tell me about the expenses."

"You're welcome, the herbs are all picked by the family in the mountains, and they don't need to cost much. By the way, I think the old man is very strong, and he is also a martial artist?"

"Displacement is nothing more than learning some self-defense skills for those who have been lost."

"I heard from Shen Wu that you have encountered bandits. Is the mountain not peaceful now?"

Uncle Hu's eyes were shrewd and vicious, and he examined Lin Xiaoxiao and asked, "I heard that the ice wall at the bottom of the mountain was built by Shannu and others?"

"Yeah," Lin Xiaoxiao said frankly, "the last time Shen Wu was injured, he said that he encountered bandits. The mountains are not as good as the city, and the only way to prevent bandits is to build such an ice wall. Regarding the bandits, the old man can't help it." Did you teach me?"

Uncle Hu's eyes brightened suddenly: "Shen Wu was attacked before?"

"He was injured more seriously than Green Slave before, and almost died. He was rescued by Axiu's father and came to me for treatment. In order to go to you for the injury earlier, it was not easy."

"It turns out that Shen Wu never mentioned this matter to me."

"Old man, don't get me wrong. Shen Wu probably hasn't had time yet. I just want to ask him about the identity of the bandit. Why don't we come together?"

"That's right, I also want to know where those bandits come from."

Shen Wu and Hu Zigui are eating in the house.

Hu Zigui put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "Is the mountain girl here to ask about the bandits?"

"Exactly, it's easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it's hard to defend against it. If you don't know why the bandits appear, you can't sleep well."
