The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 102
Xiaomi was startled, turned around and looked, it turned out that it was Liu Xiaodao who walked in embarrassingly, scratching the back of his head.

"Well, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. I actually sent the vermicelli back and wanted to put the boxes in."

"Brother Xiaodao, don't be so polite, Uncle Chen has something to tell you."

Xiaomi hurriedly changed the subject, saving himself a small knife.

"The shopkeeper Chen said that the inventory at home is probably not enough to sell, so I asked you to go to the city to sit at home someday and discuss it."

"What a coincidence. I just talked about this with Brother Feng. Uncle Chen has been in business for many years and has the most experience. I just want to ask him for advice."

Xiaomi said halfway, but Xiaodao gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and shouted loudly, "Xiaomi, let me go to the city to open a shop, I will do it well, I will..."

"Okay."

"what?"

Xiaodao wanted to express his determination with all his heart and soul, but when he heard Xiaomi lightly greet him, he couldn't believe it for a while, so he turned his head and asked again, "What's good?"

Xiaomi responded with a smile, "I said, it's best for you to run a shop in the city. You are the smartest brother Xiaodao in the village, and you are good at arithmetic, and you often go to the city on weekdays. If you want to open a shop, of course you are the best candidate." Don't you want to do it, then I can only go to my second brother, maybe one day he will lose the shop."

"No, no, I'll go, I'll go!"

Xiaodao's eye circles were red with excitement, he waved his hands again and again, and finally nodded when he felt something was wrong.

"Xiaomi, don't worry, I will do a good job, and I will not disappoint your trust. I..."

Hearing his incoherent speech, Xiaomi hurriedly comforted him, "Brother Xiaodao, I have treated you as my own brother since I was a child, how can I not trust you. You go back and discuss it with Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu. If they agree, I will invite you Uncle Chen helped find a suitable shop."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

There was a flash of pain in Xiaodao's eyes, but he became excited, "I'll go back and tell my parents."

After all, he turned around and ran out.

Xiaomi turned her head to see Feng Jian's weird smile, couldn't help but blush, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at, I really think Brother Xiaodao is my real brother..."

Feng Jian stood up, shook her small hand with her big hand, and walked out.

In the closed warehouse door, his low voice was left behind.

"I know, no need to explain."

Xiaomi pouted mischievously, but his subordinates did not break away.Under the setting sun and in the mountain wind, the two of them formed a pair and walked together, envious of how many little beasts in the forest were preparing to hibernate alone...

The night in Laoxiongling has never been later than other places, but because of the mass production of the whole people, it is always necessary to light up the lights for a while.

By the time I had to eat and go to sleep, it was almost the second watch.

The villagers are used to this, they are exhausted but very energetic.

In this way, it was a group of thieves in the woods somewhere outside the mountain.

On such an early winter night, although the snow has not yet fallen, the frost is still cold to the bone.

Perhaps for the convenience of walking around, they didn't wear thick jackets, and their clothes were all thin, so they couldn't bear the cold even more.

One of them tremblingly asked a companion squatting outside, "Brother Niu Sheng, tell me, can we steal the things?"

"Don't be afraid, it will definitely be stolen. I have already checked it when I came here in the afternoon. The people who delivered the goods just took things out of the house inside, and no one was guarding them."

The middle-aged boy named Niu Sheng was so cold that his face was livid, and he rubbed his hands from time to time, but he smiled reluctantly to cheer up his brother.

The other boy was obviously terrified, and said in a low voice, "If we are caught, we will run as hard as we can. If we can't run, we will kowtow and beg for mercy. Don't be as stubborn as San Gouzi."

The little thieves didn't respond, and they obviously remembered something tragic, and their faces were full of sadness.

Niu Sheng didn't want to lose his fighting spirit before the start, so he quickly cheered everyone up, "Come on, if this is done, we will have a year's ration."

"it is good."

All the little thieves responded, and then quickly covered their mouths when they remembered the purpose of their trip.

After waiting for a while, the lights on the ridge were completely extinguished, and the ridge below was also silent.The thieves quietly touched the wooden fence not far away.

Originally, it was easiest to go around from the mountains on both sides, but there are wild animals in the depths of the mountains, it is really dangerous, and there are countless thorn bushes planted nearby.Even on such a winter day, the thorns and thorns bark their teeth and claws, and when they scrape on the body, it is a streak of blood.Therefore, this gate that is as tall as one person has become the best choice.

The two thieves bent down directly and let their companions ride on their necks, then gritted their teeth hard to stand up, and the companions climbed and folded the plank and flipped inside.

"Plop, plop!"

Seven little thieves jumped in one after another. In the quiet winter night, the sound was very obvious.

But everyone in Laoxiongling was too busy during the day, and they would sleep soundly if they touched the pillows. Besides, they had a bad reputation on weekdays, and they didn't expect anyone to touch the door of the house.

In the adobe room used as the gatehouse, the big kang was burning hot, and the two young men were drooling in their sleep, not knowing that the gate had been broken over.

The two thieves tore through the window paper, glanced at the room, envious of the few thick jackets and trousers thrown by the side of the kang.Someone whispered, "Brother Niu Sheng, do you want to go in and take out the padded jacket?"

"No, don't worry about it, it will be a big deal if it is discovered. Let's find a place to store things quickly. I remember the house on the right."

Niu Sheng had an idea, and stopped the brothers with his voice down.Then he took the lead to erase to the right side of the gate, but unfortunately, I don't know if it was because of the unbearable cold, or what, but the middle-aged man who spoke earlier was a few steps behind, and quietly took out the half sickle in his arms to pick the door bolt.

But just as his sickle was about to be inserted into the crack of the door, something suddenly knocked it sideways.

He was startled, and turned his head to look around. The surroundings of the house were extremely quiet, and there was no one at all. He thought that he was too nervous and misread, and raised his hand to pick the door bolt.

Strangely, the sickle was missed again silently.

The little thief couldn't bear the shock anymore, and threw half of the sickle with a shake of his hand.

"Dangdang!"

The sickle fell on the bluestone steps, and the sound it made was extremely loud.If it was a normal day, it might be ignored, but in such a quiet and dark night, it is almost like thunder.

The two juniors who were sleeping soundly in the room jumped up in shock.The two were stunned for a moment, then grabbed the hatchet on the table and opened the door.

Under the night, the thief who tried to enter the house to steal the padded jacket was fleeing into the woods like a rabbit.

No matter how stupid the two younger generations were, they guessed that there was a thief coming at home, so one ran to knock on the bronze bell next to the gate, and the other copied it and chased after it.

"Little thief, don't run!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three bronze bells then rang through the entire Old Xiong Ridge. It was a coincidence that there was no such bronze bell in the first place.

But recently, the village is under heavy construction, and the mountain pass is often unguarded. For example, when shopkeeper Chen came to visit that day, he almost broke his throat by shouting.So Xiaomi asked the delivery carriage to bring back a small copper bell.It's not too big, but it's enough to pass a message up and down the mountain.

Soon, people on the mountain turned on their lights one after another, and there were figures running down the mountain road.

The thief who stole the padded jacket was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and he had to catch up with Niu Sheng and the others. Before he could speak, Niu Sheng had already slapped him down angrily.

"You're going to kill everyone!"

"Woo, I just want a thick jacket..." The thief cried with snot and tears, but Niu Sheng had no time to comfort him, "Run! Run out!"

"What about that thing?"

There was also a thief who hesitated, but Niu Sheng pulled his sleeves and ran out, "Is life more important than money?"

Seeing that the gate was right in front of him, and he could escape by turning over, Niu Sheng suddenly felt a pain in his leg, and he threw himself forward and fell to the ground.

He wanted to stand up again, but found that it was impossible, so he reluctantly said to the big man, "Leave me alone, run!"

But the thieves were desperately trying to set him up, "No, let's go together, let's go together, brother Niu Sheng!"

"Let's go, leave me alone, we were beaten to death together, what will the girls do?"

The little thieves hesitated, but unfortunately at this time, it was too late for them to run away. The two young men, together with the person who came down from the mountain, had already gathered for No. 30.

Working with the Lu family this year, men, women and children in and around Laoxiongling are full of food and drink, especially the men, who are much stronger than in previous years, and they have just passed the hunting season. Under the knife and arrow, the murderous aura looming all over his body, how could this group of half-sized people be able to bear it.

Niu Sheng's face was so pale that he pulled all the thieves to their knees.

"We were wrong, we accept the punishment and accept the punishment, don't kill us!"

"Woo, I'm scared, hit me, don't kill me!"

Seven or eight thieves gathered together, surrounded the injured Niu Sheng, and kowtowed.

The villagers didn't say a word, they just surrounded the thieves with hatchets, and it wasn't until the young men lit torches and brought them over that everyone could see what the thieves looked like.

This is just a group of half-aged children, the oldest one is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest is probably only ten years old.In such an early winter weather, the middle-aged and middle-aged children only wore thin and worn-out clothes, some with their elbows and knees exposed. Looking at their yellow and thin faces, they were so frightened that their big eyes were about to pop out.

This is not a thief, but a beggar.

Guo's house is the closest to the mountain road that leads to Xialing, so Uncle Guo was the first to arrive. Seeing the appearance in front of him, he pondered for a while, and then ordered the younger generation, "Tie people up first and throw them out of the house." Here, wait for Xiaomi to come and deal with it."

"it is good."

The two concierge juniors felt lazy and almost ruined the big event, so they rushed forward to kidnap him before anyone else could do it.

After a while, the Lu family arrived. It was rare for Lu's second son to be careful. He saw a lot of people on this side from a distance, and he walked around the mountains and forests on both sides. He met Gao Ren, who was lazy, and was driven back to protect his own house. The yard, the province was taken away by someone.

Xiaomi was woken up just now, so she didn't have time to braid her hair, so she tied her hair and put on a jacket and skirt, and came down with Feng Jian and her eldest brother and second brother.

As for Father Lu, he is probably sleeping soundly in the pile of books, not to mention the sound of the bell, even if he is pushed, he may not be able to wake up.

Fortunately, he never bothered to deal with the affairs of the Lu family.
