Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 151

After comforting the two children, Liu Man'er coaxed Ye Tianchen again. After all, he was still young, so he didn't know what happened. He didn't understand the so-called horse thief. He came to this mountain in a hurry last night. Also cried for a while.

Seeing so many people today, everyone was noisy, he was also a little frightened, he kept holding Fang's hand, clamoring to go home.

Fang couldn't coax him, so she had to let Liu Man'er come over to coax him. Liu Man'er told him a story, and then slowly diverted his attention.

After one or two hours, the men in the village came down from the mountain. They all had sad expressions on their faces, and their complexions were extremely dark. Liu Man'er wanted to ask the head of the village, but she saw that The long face is so dark that it can almost drip water.

She could also guess that the situation was not good, so she put the question in her heart, anyway, she would know when she went down the mountain.

Sure enough, Li let out a long sigh, and said to everyone: "You can go down the mountain, everyone go to your own home to clean up, alas."

Everyone knows that their home is definitely not very good at the moment, but it is also a happy thing to know that they can go down the mountain. They are cold and hungry on this mountain, and it is very uncomfortable to sit on the ground. They have long wanted to go home up.

However, when he came to the entrance of the village, he suddenly saw the blood stains all over the ground. Although the corpse was gone, it made people feel flustered.

"Where are those people who went down the mountain before?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"They're all dead." The village chief sighed and said, "We dragged them to the ancestral hall, and then we'll notify their relatives to claim them and bury them."

Liu Man'er also felt terrified in her heart, but she was even more terrified than Ye He and Cao'er, who held her hand tightly.

Liu Man'er suppressed the urge to tremble in her body, and pretended to be calm and said: "This kind of thing happened, please ask the mage to come over and help them get over it."

"That's how it should be. Let's go back to each house first, clean up the house, and see if we can still live in it." The head of the village is also extremely uncomfortable. He has been the head of the village for so many years, and he never thought that he would meet on such things.

This time it was also thanks to Liu Man'er, otherwise, who knows if he would be the soul of the dead.

"Don't be sad, everyone, your life is the most important thing." Liu Man'er reassured everyone, "There are green hills left, so I don't worry about running out of firewood."

"What you said is easy. We are not you. We have shops in the county. Our house is gone. How will we live in the future?" Some women couldn't help crying when they saw their yards .

Liu Man'er had seen this scene before, and at the moment her heart didn't fluctuate too much, she just walked around the ancestral hall and went back to her home.

When she arrived at the door, Liu Man'er couldn't help but burst into flames. Before, she just scanned around the outside of the house without taking a closer look. When she entered now, she found that her yard was already a mess. In the backyard, the flowers and plants she planted were also destroyed. Many people were trampled to death.

But fortunately, most of the chickens and ducks at home are still running around in the yard at the moment, and a few sheep are missing. The others are frightened and run wildly in the yard. Only a few.

Doing wedding dresses for others in vain.

Liu Man'er sighed, and thought of her mushrooms again. Fortunately, those mushrooms were still there, and the door had never been opened.

The wing rooms on both sides were not seriously damaged, as for the kitchen, it was burned badly, and the main room connected to the kitchen was also burned a lot. It was smoking now, and Liu Man'er couldn't care about other things, so she let The person put down the things first, fetched water to put out the fire, and after everything was extinguished, Liu Man'er also felt a little tired, so she sat down on a blackened chair.

The home she worked so hard to decorate had finally turned into such a good look, with all kinds of things fully furnished. Now that she really returned to the pre-liberation, it would be a lie to say that it was not uncomfortable.

However, what made her even more uncomfortable was that those who died in this village and other villages must have suffered a lot of losses. She had never seen so many dead people, and when she thought about it, she felt grievances everywhere.

"Go to your respective rooms and check your belongings." Liu Man'er ordered, and then went to her own room.

Inside the room, some clothes were thrown everywhere, the room was full of black smoke, and the windows were scorched black, but the room was fine, the damage was not insignificant, but the ground was a mess.

The fire should have started from the kitchen. After all, these bandits don’t have such energy. Every house will light a fire for you. Liu Man’er’s room is far away from the kitchen, but the damage is not serious. After leaving the room, she looked at the balcony. Fortunately, the potted flower on the bed was also safe and sound with her wormwood planted there.

When they came downstairs, everyone reported their losses. Fang said that some of the cloth in her house was missing, and Liu Man'er remembered that there was a small warehouse upstairs. She opened it and took a look at the things she put in it. Most of them disappeared without a trace.

Also, the mink she bought for Fang and the others before, telling them to make clothes, was gone, and Aunt Han came over and said that all the rice noodles in the kitchen were gone.

Liu Man'er sighed, and opened the cellar again. Fortunately, the entrance of the cellar was in the corner of the kitchen, and no one noticed. there.

Ye He also rushed over and found that the Kongming lanterns they made were also there. Finally, she smiled through tears and said in a crying voice: "Our wish is still there."

"Yes, still." Liu Man'er nodded, stroking her head: "Don't feel bad."

Fortunately, when she was evacuating, someone poured water on the ground and drenched it, so at this moment, the damage suffered by her family is much better than that of others.

At least, apart from the kitchen being burnt clean, the rest of the house was only burnt black, which is not miserable.

"Let's clean up the house." Liu Man'er said, "Clean up the house, and I'll put those chickens and ducks back."

As Liu Man'er said that, she took a blackened bamboo pole to drive away the chickens and ducks, and Shuai Shuai and the two dogs also helped her dare.

Fortunately, after the ducks escaped, they were all in the pond, while the chickens were flying everywhere. Liu Man'er chased them for a long time before they returned to their original places.

She also put the sheep back. Fortunately, her yard is big. If the yard was small, these people might catch them all.

The small ground houses she dug before were used to raise rabbits, and now these people just caught them all in one go, leaving one or two fish that slipped through the net.

This rabbit was originally a timid creature, but now it was even more timid to death, and they all huddled in the corner.

Liu Man'er estimated her own losses. Just because the hundred or so rabbits became two, at least a few taels of silver were lost, not counting the sheep and chickens.

Of course, money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that many of the flowers and plants she planted were trampled by them. She straightened them one by one and supported them with branches.

In fact, these losses are secondary, and the trauma in her heart is the greatest. Looking at this environment, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and tears dripped down as she supported the flowers and plants.

What kind of world is this? One second, he was happily waiting for Ye Feng to be admitted as a scholar, but the next second, he had to face such a thing.

A person silently supported the flowers and plants, and after tidying them up, he went to the front yard. Aunt Han and the others were cleaning. After tidying up these messy things, Liu Man'er found that the floor was black.

The loss of the study was huge. Some desks, including the bookshelves, were burnt out, and none of the books on them were left, as if they had been thrown in the middle and burned together. Even the ceiling was burnt black, and it was almost burnt through. .

Why would anyone burn her house down if they robbed her of money?If she has a chance in the future, she will definitely not make it easier for them!
After inspecting the new house, I went to the old house again. Needless to say, the old house is full of firewood in the kitchen. The firewood is so big that the three main houses were burnt down and only a few green bricks remained. All that was burned was the mud.

After all, the wings of the old house are low and built with thatch, a little spark is enough to destroy them.

It took Liu Man'er several days to tidy up the house, but even after tidying up, the burnt marks were still there, especially in the kitchen. Even though the roof was newly built and tiles were added, the entire black wall was still ok. Apparently it was burned here.

In fact, this is nothing, the most important thing is that Liu Man'er used to think that the village was always safe except for some thieves, but after this happened, she no longer had that sense of security, and was worried every day. Will the horse thief come again by then?

In the past few days, the county seat has already received news that the government has sent people to collect the corpses of the two villages in front of them, and comforted the villagers. After all, there are always some people who escaped from each village.

Dawan Village also collected the dead villagers, as did Xiaowan Village. In short, they suffered a lot of losses and injuries along the way. Someone from the government asked about the situation, and said that they would report to the court and try their best to fight for it. Give the villagers tax exemption for one or two years.

But in addition to the villages on this road, in the next few days, many villages encountered horse thieves. This group of horse thieves did not know where they came from. They did all kinds of evil, and even robbed some women and went to the mountain.

As Liu Man'er and the head of the village, Ye Xiutong, were worried about, they burned, killed and looted everywhere, but they were not caught by the government, but took over the mountain in Yaozizhai and became kings.

This Yaozi Village belongs to the neighboring town, only a few tens of miles away. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The government has nothing to do with them, and the nearby villagers are even more trembling.

Of course, this is for sure. Although these horse thieves have hoarded food for the time being, when the food is exhausted, they will definitely come down the mountain to replenish it.

They don't work, and there is only one way to do it, and that is to rob.

Several times, several nearby villages were attacked, but it was better than before. These gangsters did not kill or set fire, but just grabbed some food and kidnapped a few girls.

But this made people even more flustered. They clearly regarded the nearby villagers as their flock of sheep, and they didn't kill them because they wanted to get food from them.
