Chapter 147
"What's the sound?" Another horse thief said, "Don't be suspicious. After completing this vote, you don't have to worry about it this year. After a few months of rest, my family's fields should be harvested."

"Look at you, you've turned into bandits, and you're still thinking about your family's few acres of land." A disdainful voice sounded, "If you want me to say, you can be happy every day like this, everything comes without effort. "

"If the government is encircling and suppressing, can you escape?" The man was still a little frightened by the government.

"Hey, let's go to another place tonight after finishing this vote. By the time the people from the government arrive, we have long since disappeared. What are you afraid of? Who knows we did it." Another person was bold It's quite big, he said: "I'm farming, but it's just for cover, unlike you, farming is also addictive."

Liu Man'er didn't listen anymore, she had already slipped away for a long time, and she ran up from the grass beside the road until the voice could no longer be heard behind her.

When she caught up with her horse and got on the horse's back, Liu Man'er realized that her back was soaked.

He galloped forward with his horse, and there was another village in front of him. After thinking about it, Liu Man'er turned a corner. The village was very quiet, and most of the villagers seemed to have just rested. With some lights on, when Liu Man'er rode down, the dogs in the village suddenly barked.

Liu Man'er didn't care, and just shouted loudly: "A horse thief is coming, everyone be careful!"

Liu Man'er's crisp sound exploded in the night sky, and the villagers woke up suddenly, and ran outside, only to hear the sound of horseshoes going away, but did not see the horse thief, and the villagers from all houses and courtyards went back up.

"It must be someone's prank. It's late at night, what kind of horse thief." Everyone opened the door and saw nothing strange, and heard a woman's voice again, so they didn't take it seriously.

"It must be some crazy woman who has been stimulated." A villager said, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Liu Man'er didn't care what they thought, she yelled three times and left. After all, people are selfish, and they must put their own village first.

What's more, even though she heard what the horse thief said, she was still very sure. If she went down and said more, these people might complain about her when the horse thief didn't come.

And there is a village along the way, she still has to go down to inform as a humanitarian, but if the delay is too long, it will be bad to wait for the horse thief to come.

Liu Man'er thought about it and didn't stop any longer, and walked down quickly.

And not long after she left, the vicious horse thief came to the village on horseback, and the village fell into a kind of howling ghosts and wolves in an instant. Many people regretted why they didn't listen to that man just now...

When they went to the next village, most of the villagers had already fallen asleep. After hearing Liu Man'er's voice, instead of thanking her, they complained that she delayed their sleep.

However, most of them are still a little afraid of horse thieves. After all, this place is not without horse thieves. Some people know that horse thieves are ferocious and would rather be trusted than nothing, so they quickly packed up their things and dragged their families to I hid in the mountain.

Others laughed at the people who left as fools and continued to sleep soundly.

It was already late when Liu Man'er returned to her village. As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she saw two lights lit up at the door.

Knowing that Liu Man'er was riding a horse, she must have gone through the side door, so she asked someone to hang a lamp there. Normally, Liu Man'er would come back at dusk, but it was so late today, and Liu Man'er still hadn't come back. Fang was a little worried .

The food was already cold, and all the children were looking at the food eagerly, Fang's heart softened, and he said, "You guys eat first, I'll go and see when your sister-in-law will come back."

After saying that, she got up and walked outside, stood at the side door and looked around for a while, but she still didn't see anyone, she was a little anxious, her right eye kept twitching, she always felt that something was about to happen, she held her hand in worry Lanterns often go by the side of the road.

Finally heard the sound of horseshoes, a man came here driving a horse, Fang smiled when he saw it, but felt something was wrong, why didn't he hear the sound of the wheels?

"Is it Man'er?" Fang asked loudly.

"Mother." Liu Man'er heard Fang's voice echoed, and hurried to Fang's side.

"Mother, why are you waiting for me here again?" Liu Man'er got off the horse and grabbed Fang Shi with one hand, feeling that her hand was already icy cold.

"Your child is always running outside, and you haven't come back so late. Mother was worried, so she came out to take a look." Fang said, carrying the lantern and leading Liu Man'er into the house, and asked: "I remember you You are driving a carriage back home, where is your car?"

"Mother, don't talk about this." Liu Man'er led the horse into the house and said, "Pick up your things quickly and let everyone go to the mountains to hide for a while. When I passed a village, I seemed to hear horse thieves. Burning, killing and looting in the village, I lay on the side of the road and listened for a while, they said they would loot this area tonight, I don’t know if they will come to our village, so they hurried back.”

"Ah, there are horse thieves?" Fang was frightened when she heard this.

"I don't know if they will come or not, but we must always take precautions." Liu Man'er parked the horse by the side of the road and said, "Whether they come or not, let's go and pack some things. Store some food in the back mountain just in case."

When the children heard this, they also ran outside. Liu Man'er repeated what she had said to Fang, and called Yunniang, Aunt Han and others to tell them to pack up quickly, especially the Bring all the knives at home, and some pots and pans just in case.

Seeing that Liu Man'er's complexion was not good, everyone stopped hesitating and went to pack up their things immediately. Liu Man'er asked them to pack up within a quarter of an hour, and followed Fang back up the mountain, while she herself hurried to the village chief. Home.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, the lady in charge pulled her shoes and came out to open the door. Seeing Liu Man'er under the moonlight, she felt a little strange and asked, "It's Miss Ye Yuan, what are you doing here? ?”

"I have something to ask the village chief." Liu Man'er said anxiously.

"Looking for the chief?" Although the lady chief felt a little strange, but seeing Liu Man'er's anxious face, she also opened the door and let her in.

At this time, the chief's voice also came from inside the house, "Who is it?"

"It's Mrs. Ye Yuan, she said she wanted to find you for something." Mrs. Li Chang said, and invited Liu Man'er in, and then lit the lamp with a torch.

The head of the village came out yawning in his clothes. The Ye family is now considered a wealthy family in the village. Liu Man'er's ability is obvious to all the villagers, so he still shows some face towards Liu Man'er.

Asked Liu Man'er to sit down, and asked again: "Is there anything for my nephew and daughter-in-law to come over this evening?"

The head lady poured Liu Man'er a glass of water, but Liu Man'er didn't bother to drink it, but said in a hurry:

"Lichang, you know that my family, Ye Feng, is going to the county seat to take an examination for a scholar, so I drove the horse to see him off today, but I came back late. On the way, I found a village on fire. I suspected it was caused by horse thieves, so I came here to inform you."

"Horse thief?" The head of the village and the wife of the head of the village were both shocked when they heard the two words, "What's going on?"

"Because my ears are relatively sensitive, I seemed to hear some strange sounds. I was afraid it was a horse thief, so I slipped into the grass beside me. I didn't dare to look closely at the specific situation. I just listened to the two horse thieves guarding the road. They Said that they might loot the area along the way tonight, I was a little afraid that they would come to our village, so I hurried back." Liu Man'er said.

After listening to Liu Man'er's words, the head of the village turned his face aside and asked again: "Are you sure they will come?"

"I don't know, but I would rather believe it than believe it. Please go and talk to the villagers, so that everyone can be prepared. If you come, I guess it will be tonight or tomorrow. They will definitely I will come." Liu Man'er stood up and said, "Anyway, I brought my words with me, and I have to go home to pack my things."

"Hey, don't go, this matter is very important, you and I should go and inform the villagers." The village chief said.

"My lord, I'm just afraid that if the horse thieves don't come, the folks will resent me for having false letters." Liu Man'er sighed, and said, "It's not like you don't know that now because we Ye Yuan is not at home, Ye Qing is here again. Working outside, many people are hostile to our family.”

"When the time comes, you should say that you just heard from your friends. Anyway, whether you will come or not, let the folks take precautions. At least transfer some valuable things to other places, so that even if the horse thief comes, we people She ran briskly." Liu Man'er walked out as she spoke, and when she reached the door, she turned her head and gave another order:
"If the horse thief is coming, it will be within two hours. We really don't have much time. After all, it took me a lot of time to rush back. It will take a lot of time for you to notify the villagers later. time."

After hearing Liu Man'er's words, the chief and the chief's wife also sighed. They really didn't know whether Liu Man'er said it was true or not. After all, they had never heard of horse thieves. What's more, Liu Man'er's brain It's a little unclear. Although it seems normal during this period of time, what if she has a relapse?

Are they supposed to believe the words of a lunatic?If the horse thief didn't come, it would be a joke.

"Do we believe her or not?" After Liu Man'er left, the head lady asked.

"This matter is troublesome. I am also afraid that the villagers will blame me." Li Chang sighed, and said: "After all, what she said is right. It is better to believe it than to believe it. Go and wake up the children and clean them up." Things, go to the mountains first, and I will inform the villagers."

"But what if she made up this matter?" The Li Chang's wife stopped the Li Chang.

"Just as a drill, I will say that my friend told me. If you don't come, I will just say that they changed the way." The chief of the village said, then picked up a gong and drum at home, and walked outside.
