"Uncle, I see." Ke Hanxue's face also turned serious. The villagers in this village have been robbed by bandits for a long time. It is understandable that they covet the food in their car, but she is worried that the people in the village will hurt one's own family.

It would take a day to walk out of this mountain. Tongsuo's daughter-in-law had just given birth and couldn't run around like this. Ke Hanxue stomped her feet anxiously.

"Xue'er, don't worry too much, we can only take one step at a time now." Ke Baosheng reassured.

"Uncle, in addition to worrying about the villagers in the village, I'm also worried about the bandits. If they know we've brought so much food, will they come and snatch it?" Ke Hanxue frowned.

Ke Baosheng deliberated for a while before expressing his real worry: "Xue'er, I still suspect that the village head colluded with bandits to harm the villagers."

"What?!" Ke Hanxue opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Just now my uncle just said that the village chief and his wife wanted to get close to the ox cart several times. She thought he was telling her to be careful of the villagers in the village, but who would have thought that...

Ke Baosheng hurriedly covered her mouth, frowned and said, "Keep your voice down."

"Uncle, this is not a joke, do you have any evidence?" Ke Hanxue heard Ke Baosheng's words, her heart skipped a beat.

If the village head really colluded with the bandits, it would be even more difficult for them to get out of the village.

"Xue'er, I saw the village head sneaking out last night, and I was waiting for him in the carport. He went out for more than half an hour before returning." Ke Baosheng said.

Ke Hanxue bit her lip and whispered: "Uncle, do you suspect that he went to meet the bandits?"

"Xue'er, didn't you ask the village chief bandit why he knew the population of the village during dinner last night? If there were no internal bandits, how would those bandits know?"

Ke Hanxue frowned and thought about it, and suddenly realized: "Uncle, when you said that, I also remembered that the looks of the village chief and his wife were a little bit wrong last night."

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Ke Hanxue had no idea, her sister and Tongsuo's wife were both in confinement, and it was almost impossible for this family to escape.

"Xue'er, you have to be steady. You must not let the village chief find out that we have suspected him. You go to find out what Song Erniang and the others have said to see if they know what the village chief is doing. If they don't know, Then I have a solution, if they know, we have no choice but to find a way to escape." Ke Baosheng confessed solemnly.

"Uncle, I see, I'm going to Song'er's house right now."

As Ke Hanxue said, he searched around, and found a few herbs that could set off fire after eating, and handed them to Ke Baosheng for him to take back, so that the village chief and the others would not suspect, and went to Song'er's house by himself.

"Miss Xue'er, have you had breakfast yet? If you haven't, let's go together." Song Erniang cooked a pot of porridge with the rice Ke Hanxue brought last night, and fried vegetables and bacon for the three mothers in the family.

"Auntie, I've eaten." Ke Hanxue smiled, then sat at the table and watched Song'erniang mother and son.

"Auntie, did you give all the food you usually collect to bandits?" Ke Hanxue asked casually. When she first came, she saw only sweet potatoes on the dining table of Song'er and her son.

"No, the grain we planted was just enough to eat before, but now we have to open up a few more plots of land to grow, otherwise it would not be enough for the bandits, but even if we open up a few more plots of land, the grain grown It's still not enough to eat, now that we have another doll in our family, we have to pay more food." Song Erniang said with a sad face.

"Auntie, Brother Song'er, do you hate those bandits?" Ke Hanxue asked tentatively, carefully observing the expressions on the faces of the mother and son.

Song'er patted the chopsticks in his hand on the dining table, gritted his teeth and said, "Can you not hate? We hope that these beasts will be punished by the gods. We are exhausted every day, but they are lucky, they come to harvest ready-made every month Yes, we adults didn't care about it before, but now my child is born, if this continues, I don't know if I can raise this child!"

"Song'er, keep your voice down, if those bandits find out about this kind of talk, we will have no good fruit to eat!" relieved.

"Miss Xue'er, Brother Dafu, Song'er was talking nonsense just now, don't take it seriously, I beg you, my aunt." Song'erniang begged Ke Hanxue and the two again.

"Auntie, don't worry, we won't say anything." Kong Dafu said, he sympathized with the villagers here, so how could he possibly say what Song'er said.

Ke Hanxue found that the mother and son were both afraid of those bandits, and their eyes didn't look like they were pretending, and asked again: "Auntie, Brother Song'er, you must really want to punish those bad guys, right?"

"Miss Xue'er, don't talk nonsense. If those bandits hear us, we will be in trouble. Eat quickly, eat quickly." Song Erniang said with a panicked expression.

Ke Hanxue pursed her lips, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, Brother Song'er, don't you think it's suspicious? Your family's child has just been born, how did those bandits know so quickly, and want your family to produce more food? "

Seeing the blank faces of Song'er's mother and son, Ke Hanxue's expression turned cold, and she said slowly: "Auntie, Brother Song'er, to tell you the truth, I suspect that there are bandits' eyeliner in your village!"

As soon as Ke Hanxue finished speaking, with a "smash", Song Erniang's bowl fell to the ground, broke, and the porridge scattered all over the floor, and then stared at Ke Hanxue in disbelief.

"Miss Xue'er, how is this possible?" Song'er was also taken aback, "How could there be bandits' eyeliner in this village?"

Kong Dafu was also startled.

"Auntie, Brother Song'er, what would you do if there were bandits in the village?" Ke Hanxue stared at the two of them closely.

Song'er came back to his senses, and said with a look of deep hatred: "If there is such a person, then I will definitely skin him and tear his bones!"

"Miss Xue'er, this matter is not a joke? The folks in this village all migrated here with us. It turns out that we also live in the same village. How could there be bandits' eyeliner?" Song Erniang didn't want to believe that there would be traitors in this village.

"Auntie, Brother Song'er, I'm not talking nonsense. Think about it, if there is no bandit's eyeliner in this village, how could the bandit know how many people are in each of your households? Even your family just now Do all the babies who are born know?" Ke Hanxue asked.

Looking back carefully, it is not difficult to find the strange behavior of the village head and the village head's wife. Even my uncle has noticed this, so it must be unmistakable.
