Chapter 440 Rampant Bandits
The four women ran to the north intersection with all their strength according to the previous plan.

Sure enough, the fire blazed up here in an instant, and the fire spread quickly, and the sound of officers and soldiers fighting the fire on the mountain was soon heard.

"Hurry up and retreat, we will die if they find out in a while!" Jingxin ran desperately with a few sisters.

I don't know how far I ran, and finally saw the small river with a long history.There is still a long way to escape, and Su Jingxin and her sisters feel a little exhausted.

Dongying has one good thing, that is, there are many mountains and mountains. For them, they don't have to worry about having no place to hide, and they won't die of thirst or starvation.

This place is not as prosperous as the imperial city, and there are few people here, so they also feel a lot more relaxed.It was already evening at this time, and there were several families a hundred meters ahead, probably hunters scattered here.

Several girls came directly to one of the houses, because only Xiao Shu could speak Japanese among the four, so she was the only one who came out and said to a woman: "Ma'am, it's too late for us to pass by, and we want to stay here with you." one night?"

"Yes, but the humble house is too simple, as long as a few girls don't dislike it, the old woman will naturally welcome her." The old woman was warm and hospitable.

Several people were indeed too tired to move anymore, so they entered the house.

The house is extremely simple, there are three rooms in total, two are for living, and one is a kitchen and storage room.

The old man's son and daughter-in-law didn't seem to welcome them very much. They didn't even bother to say hello when they saw them. It was also such a chaotic time. With four more mouths, who would be happy.Jingxin could also understand the difficulties of others, and quickly explained: "Brother, sister-in-law, we are just staying here for one night. We have brought some dry food, you can eat some first."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged couple immediately changed their attitudes, and said with a smile: "Hey, how dare you, we still have some wild vegetables here, and it will be enough to make some wild vegetable porridge tomorrow morning."

At night, the old woman made porridge with wild vegetables and asked Jingxin to come out to eat.

Because a few people have been eating raw wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy their hunger, and they have not been willing to eat the only dry food left, so when they smell the fragrance of wild vegetables, their appetites immediately come up.

The four girls sat up and looked at the couple's gloomy faces. Jingxin was too embarrassed to eat other people's food for nothing, so she took out her own dry food, so that a few pancakes were served with vegetable porridge, and everyone ate with relish.

The old woman's family hadn't eaten white flour cakes for a long time, and the man took a large bowl of flour cakes and finished them in just a few mouthfuls.

"The soil in this mountain is barren. In the event of drought, the harvest is not good, and the army has to be provided with rations, and bandits often shoot and rob, so there is not much food left at home. Otherwise, the aunt will make you some delicious food, hey, That's the only way to deal with it." The old lady looked at each person with a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, and said a little shyly.

"Ma'am, you're getting older, eat more. Your health is a blessing for future generations. We are already content to have a mouthful of hot porridge." Su Jingxin said with a busy smile.

The only dish on the table is pickled wild vegetables.

At a glance, the day is really going through the last meal without the next meal, and it is tight.The four girls drank a bowl of wild vegetable porridge slowly, and suddenly felt the heat in their stomachs, and they felt very comfortable.

The four of them had dinner and went back to the back room. There was a big kang here, which was big enough for four slender girls, but there were not so many bedding, so the four of them could only make do with one quilt.

It was much better here than in the cave, so of course they were content, as long as they had a place to stay, as long as they could sleep comfortably, they would be satisfied.

The four girls fell asleep shortly after lying down, and Poria got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

Suddenly hearing a noise a hundred meters away, Fu Ling immediately called the sisters and the aunt's family, and then hid in the woods behind.

At this time, the flames outside were so bright that it was like daytime, and there were faint screams and cries for help in the distance.Su Jingxin's expression became serious, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"It seems that they are those bandits again. It seems that they want to drive us common people to death. They come here every now and then, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes. What a crime!" the aunt said angrily.

"No, there's still a bag of food that hasn't been snatched from the house. What if they get robbed later?" The old lady suddenly thought of the bag of food, and said that she was about to rush out to bring it with her.

"Mom, you can't go out. You didn't see that they kill anyone they see and burn houses when they see them." The man quickly grabbed his mother to prevent her from going into danger.

"Auntie, run away quickly, there is only one way to die if you go back, you must never go back!" Jingxin also tried her best to prevent the old lady from going out to die.

"Escape is easy to say. Where can we escape these days? This is our home. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. How can we just leave!" The old lady looked at the three houses reluctantly. , and the front and rear yards, the old couple's faces were reddened by the flames, and they were all dazed.

Although living in poverty, there is a house and a place to shelter from the wind and rain. In these days, where can I find shelter!

Chu Yuhan looked at the big fire, and heard the voice from a distance, said: "Run away, the purpose of these bandits is not simple, I'm afraid it's not just to steal money, otherwise they won't burn the house without seeing it." She didn't look like an ordinary bandit no matter what, she smelled a more dangerous breath.

Hearing this, the man and his wife couldn't help but look at the four of Su Jingxin seriously. They thought these four girls were useless burdens, and they were afraid of bringing additional burdens to his family, but now the determination and calmness on their faces made them They had to re-examine a few of them.

"Hurry up, there is no time to pack things up now. Whether it is the bandits or us, you all know. Anyway, in the mountains, we will not die of thirst and starvation, but when we go back, take things, and act slowly, there will be more people." They may be killed or burned to death." Jingxin Xiaozhi reasoned with emotion.

It was only after some good talk that the old lady was persuaded, and she agreed to leave here with them as soon as possible.

They rely on foot strength, and there is an old man in his 70s, no matter how fast their movements can be.

There was a lot of shouting and killing from behind, and occasionally the arrows would swish, which was really frightening.

"Looking at their sophisticated equipment, they don't look like ordinary bandits, but like officers and soldiers. Why did they do this?" Jingxin was puzzled, with a dazed expression on her face.

"No wonder, I feel that they are different from usual. Although those bandits were hateful, they were not so vicious!" the old lady cursed out of breath.
