Chapter 77
Perhaps the old man was soft-hearted, Lu Qingling yelled towards him after seeing him tugging with the person next to him:

"Hurry up, those bandits are vicious and lecherous! You turn around and go back, hurry up!"

"Go, this road can't pass!"

Lu Qingling was startled when he heard the old man's words, his face changed suddenly:

"Mountain... bandits?"

She has never even seen a life lawsuit in modern times, let alone the bandits in groups in ancient times. It is common in TV dramas, but they are staged after all.

The people on the side also showed a frightened expression when they heard it.

"Lingling, don't be afraid, there is third brother here, and third brother will protect you."

Lu Qingyu, who rode the same mule with Lu Qingling, patted his chest and said, telling her that there is no need to be afraid, there are so many officials here, even if bandits come, they will never return!
"Well, there is also the eldest brother! Where is the second brother!"

Lu Qingxuan and Lu Qingwu on the side also echoed.

Because the old man was relatively close to Lu Qingling, when he heard what they said, he kept chanting:
"Hey, it's useless, useless, even so many officers and soldiers can't do anything to them, don't you just go to die?"

The barbarians in the north are in chaos, and the flames of war have been raging for years. This is a sign of a broken city. Moreover, it is drought and bandits.

The old man squinted, maybe his eyesight was not very good, and he didn't see that all the males over ten years old were wearing anklets to prevent them from escaping.

But he didn't see it clearly, it doesn't mean others can't see it either:
"father,……"

Lu Qingling saw a young man whisper a few words into the old man's ear, and then saw the old man staring at them in a daze for a moment, maybe he was frightened by their identities, and took a few steps back.

"Go, go, go, get out of the way, and then lie here to deceive the crowd, and arrest you together."

The patrolling officer rested his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. When he passed by, he glanced at the old man and the others, and then began to chase them away, bandits?They have walked this road no less than ten times, and even those little thieves can be called bandits, even if they are given ten more courage, they will not dare to come.

Obviously these officials didn't take the old man's words to heart.

Seeing that the officials didn't believe him, the old man was a little afraid of the word "prisoner" after they left, but he still couldn't bear it, sighed, and explained softly:
"You children should be worried. In the past few years, bandits have been rampant here, and the government has come to encircle and suppress them several times without success. Now they have taken over the mountain as king, and those bandits are vicious and lustful! Now because The reason for the lack of food during the severe drought. I heard that those people did not kill them after they caught them. They locked them up as food reserves, especially you children and beautiful ladies. That’s why our village chief brought them With us fleeing famine, the girl remembers that if you encounter bandits, you must hide."

The old man babbled a lot, and he didn't stop until he was dragged away by the young man.

Lu Qingling saw that the patrolling officer walked away, but didn't notice this way, so he slipped off the mule, ran to Nabo, and quickly stuffed a cloth bag into his hand.

"Be careful, don't let anyone find out!"

After Lu Qingling finished speaking, he quickly ran back to the team.

The old man and the young man didn't realize it until Lu Qingling returned to the team and climbed up the mule with difficulty, staring blankly at the heavy cloth bag in his hand.

The old man and his son looked at each other, and opened the cloth bag behind their backs. When the two saw that there were at least twenty steamed buns in the bag, they gasped hard. He quickly closed the cloth bag, shivered and put it aside, and stuffed it on his cart.

"Father... this is the little girl..."

"Shh."

The old man hurriedly looked around and saw that no one noticed, not even his dead old woman who was devoted to taking care of her natal family, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"That girl is kind-hearted. This is to repay my kindness for sending her the news. I just said that good people are rewarded. Your mother always scolds me for being nosy. Do you think it's not easy to repay her? But Don't say anything about this, it's good for the two of us to know, and don't tell your mother."

The son nodded again and again, his eyes brightened slightly:

"Understood, dad, I won't tell anyone, besides, if mother knows, it will be taken to my uncle and cousin, so I won't tell mother."

"Yes, that's the reason, and there are so many steamed buns, the two of us eat them secretly, save a little, I guess they can last for ten days."

With a smile on his face, the old man turned his head and looked gratefully at Lu Qingling and the others who had gone away, and quickly caught up with his family with the cart.
