Teacher is too tough

The voices outside were still at a distance, but everyone in the courtyard knew that it was too late to run away at this time, and everyone suddenly looked pale and at a loss.

Huang Xiaotong lowered his voice and said: "The women and children hid in the house, and the others were ready. Now we have no choice but to fight. When the fight breaks out, the women and children will find an opportunity to run away."

Everyone's hands and feet were trembling as they looked for weapons, but the courtyard was empty except for some firewood, which they barely carried in their hands.

Different from the panic of others, the old woman remained expressionless. She was old and frail and had never left the village, but there were people in the village who had gone down the mountain. Therefore, she also knew how scary these officers and soldiers were, but she had never been afraid.

Her family has been destitute, and only her grandson and grandson are left to survive in this world. They are not afraid of being robbed. If they are killed, they will be freed earlier. She will no longer have to suffer, and her grandson will no longer have to suffer with her.

That's why when Huang Xiaotong knocked on the door, she dared to open the door and take a look.

But after all, he was still alive and had not turned into a walking zombie, so Huang Xiaotong took out the broken silver, and the old woman felt a little happy. With this silver, she could change her grandson into cotton-padded clothes and have two full meals.

Even if he still can't survive, at least his grandson will be considered blessed when he comes to this world.

Everyone felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. The old woman was holding her grandson with a blank expression on her face.

After a while, there was a knock on the door not far away, and a person shouted: "Is there anyone at home? Excuse me, can I stay overnight."

Huang Xiaotong was stunned. They didn't look like officers and soldiers. Otherwise, how could they have called the door?He broke in directly.

He reached out to open the courtyard door, and a man stopped him and whispered: "Be careful of fraud."

Huang Xiaotong said: "If they are really officers and soldiers, are they still using deception?"

Opening the courtyard door, he stretched his head and looked outside. Through the remaining dim light on the horizon, he could see clearly that they were not officers and soldiers, but more like people from the world. There were quite a few of them. At a rough glance, there were hundreds of them.

Hearing the noise over there, they also looked towards him. The leader took a few steps closer, clasped his fists and said, "Little brother, can we stay at your house for one night? It's not free of charge."

Huang Xiaotong said: "I can't make the decision, because I am also staying overnight."

The man was stunned. He came to the courtyard gate and looked inside. He saw refugee number [-] standing inside and said, "So many people? It seems we have to find another place to live."

But I was thinking in my heart, could these refugees take advantage of the large number of people and imitate the bandits who robbed homes and homes?Since we encountered him, we cannot ignore him.

Seeing that Huang Xiaotong was about to close the door, he stretched out his hand to stop it and said: "Every door in this village is closed. I'm afraid I can't open it. Can we take a rest here first?"

Huang Xiaotong stretched his neck and looked behind him again, and said, "Even if the master agrees, this courtyard can't accommodate so many people."

The man smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we can take as much as we can, and the rest will stay outside the door. After a while, other villagers will naturally know that we are not bad people, and then we will find another place to go."

Huang Xiaotong looked back at the old woman, who said, "Silver."

The grandson in her arms had never seen so many people before. He stared at them curiously, still a little timid.

The man was stunned, thinking that this old woman might not be the owner of the house, but maybe she was with these refugees. Otherwise, how could a country man dare to ask for money from him?
He took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the old woman. He turned around and said hello. More than ten people entered the courtyard, and the remaining people stopped outside the courtyard as he said.

After entering the hospital, he found a place to sit down, took out dry food from his luggage and started eating by himself.

Upon seeing this, Huang Xiaotong hesitated and said, "Do you have any extra dry food? I want to buy some."

He guessed that the old woman didn't have much food at home, and even if there was, it wouldn't be enough to feed all of them, so he asked.

That man was a bit unexpected. If these were refugees who had become bandits, they should not be hungry. Could it be the first time they had engaged in the business of robbing families and homes?

Looking up, he saw many people swallowing their saliva while looking at the dry food in his hand.

He smiled and said, "It's fate that we meet. It's just some dry food. How can I accept your money? We happen to have a lot left, so let's share it."

He said behind him: "Take out the dry food in each hand and share it with everyone."

His companions took out dry food and distributed it to the homeless people.

The grandson in the old woman's arms was eating with his fingers, obviously hungry. Huang Xiaotong handed the dry food to the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, you guys should eat some too."

The old woman took it and handed it to her grandson's mouth.

Huang Xiaotong had previously given the old woman a piece of broken silver to buy food. The old woman did not provide food, and he did not ask for it back.The old woman obviously didn't intend to return the broken silver. Poor people come out of poverty, and sometimes this is true.

Seeing Huang Xiaotong's actions, the leader thought that even if these refugees became bandits, their consciences had not been completely wiped out. He handed Huang Xiaotong some dry food and said with a smile: "Little brother, where did you come from and where are you going? "

Huang Xiaotong said: "Stay at home and have no food to eat. If you go out to find a way to survive, you don't know where to go."

Suddenly he shouted to someone: "Crazy brother, you go to the entrance of the village to look for the wind first, but don't let the officers and soldiers really come. I will go find you later."

He learned a lot from the experience and was frightened just now, so he naturally had to be more vigilant.

One person responded and led several people out of the courtyard.

The leader thought that I had overlooked this point, this young man is really a talent that can be made.

Huang Xiaotong glanced at him and said: "I am a good man who lives in the world, right? Where did you come from? Where are you going?"

The man said: "To be honest, my name is Bai Wuji. We are from Yulong County, Jingzhou. This trip is to go to Qiongzhou. Since I don't know where to go, little brother, why not come with us? Bai has been walking all the way. , I saw that many people who had no way of living wanted to go to Qiongzhou."

This person was none other than Bai Wuji. He was walking through the mountains today to take a shortcut. He had already prepared to sleep in the mountains. Unexpectedly, there was a small village on the mountain. The weather was already cold at this time, so having a shelter from the wind was naturally better than sleeping in the wild. Then he went to the village to stay overnight.

Along the way, they had done many things to persuade the refugees to defect to Qiongzhou. Of course, the more people the better, and they also wanted to contribute to Li Qingshi's rebellion.

Hearing what he said, Huang Xiaotong was stunned and grinned: "I'm sorry, we just lied. In fact, we are also going to Qiongzhou."

He believed Bai Wuji's words, not because he was just starting out and lacked experience, but because he had clearly seen the situation. Not only were there many people on the other side, but they were all full of energy. If they were really malicious, they would never be opponents, so there was no need to lie or deceive. .

Bai Wuji didn't expect that he would pay attention to him, and was slightly startled.

Huang Xiaotong thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Brother Li is also from Jingzhou. Are you an old acquaintance of me?"

After asking, he suddenly realized that if these people were old acquaintances with Brother Li, they would have gone to Qiongzhou to help. How could they wait until today?

Bai Wuji said: "What is Brother Li?"

Huang Xiaotong said: "That's Li Qingshi, the leader of the Qiongzhou Rebel Army."

Bai Wuji glanced at him and thought to himself that this kid is really very arrogant, and he actually tried to trick me. His tone was so familiar, which really made people suspect that he knew Master Li Xiaoxian.

He found this young man even more interesting and said with a smile: "You really guessed it. Master Li Xiaoxian was kind to Bai."

Huang Xiaotong didn't believe it at all. He thought to himself that loyalty is the most important word in the world. If Brother Li really saved your life, wouldn't you have gone to Qiongzhou to help him a long time ago?I didn't realize that this man was so vain and wanted to put money on his face by having a relationship with Brother Li.

Bai Wuji said with a bit of teasing, "Your name is Master Li Xiaoxian, Brother Li. Are you an old acquaintance of him?"

Huang Xiaotong said: "That's natural. Brother Li saved my sister."

Bai Wuji had expected that he would climb up the pole, so he couldn't help teasing him: "Then when we get to Qiongzhou, can you please help me introduce us to Master Li Xiaoxian?"

Since Brother Li has saved your life, do you still need my introduction?It seems that he saw that Brother Li and I knew each other and didn't dare to lie anymore... Huang Xiaotong said: "I'm afraid no, we can't go to Brother Li this time, otherwise it will be a back door. If he takes extra care of us, wouldn't it cost him more money?" Trouble? We are here to help him fight, not to cause him trouble or be a burden."

Bai Wuji found it even more funny when he saw that what he said was true.

At this moment, a man came to Bai Wuji and whispered: "Master, a group of officers and soldiers are walking up the mountain."

When Huang Xiaotong asked people to watch the wind, Bai Wuji also winked at his disciple.

Bai Wuji frowned and asked: "How many people?"

"No less than five thousand."

Bai Wuji ordered: "Hurry up and notify the villagers here, and take them to avoid it together."

The disciple hesitated and said, "If we take them with us, we might not even be able to leave."

At this time, several refugees who went to watch the wind stumbled into the courtyard, with earthy faces and said: "Come on, hurry up, the officers and soldiers are really here this time!" (End of Chapter)
