Li Changting said it lightly, but Xu Qing knew that he didn't seem so indifferent on the surface. If he didn't care, he would have left long ago.

It's a pity for Xu Qing. After all, it's the first time for her to live in peace with so many lives.

If they had a preparation, they would not have died so many people.

The patriarch's house.

Li Jing takes Zhang San home. When Zhang Sany sees the patriarch staring at him calmly, he can't help but soften his legs and kneel down.

At first, the clan leader didn't believe that Zhang San had recruited those mountain bandits. Now, Zhang Sany looks guilty. What else can be doubted.

"Zhang San, you beast!" A stream of anger sprang up from the bottom of my heart, and the patriarch slapped Zhang Sany, "do you know how many people you killed today?"?! Which of those who died didn't grow up with you, why Why do you want to harm us? "

Shaking his head in tears, Zhang San said, "I didn't I didn't mean to... "

With that, Zhang San knocked his head heavily on the floor: "please forgive me! I really didn't mean it! I don't want to harm everyone! "

"Then give me an explanation, say it!" Cried the patriarch.

Zhang San wiped his tears and said: "after these mountain bandits arrested us, they asked us where we came from. If not, they threatened to kill us. I can't help it I thought that since there was a plague in the village, after these days, we must either die or escape. I'll just bring these mountain bandits here, and then they will be infected with the plague, or they will die together! I really didn't expect you to live well. I knew I wouldn't have done that if I had known! "

Hearing the words, the patriarch's face slowed down, but Li Jing said: "in this case, why don't you tell us the news that the mountain bandits will come at the beginning, and why do you want to hide it?"

The patriarch frowned and scolded: "yes, why do you want to hide it? If you say that, why are we so passive and caught off guard by the mountain bandits? "

Zhang San swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and suddenly couldn't speak.

What else can we do? If we all know that he led the mountain bandit, the people in the village will hate him. What else can he do in the future.

Zhang San is taking a chance. As long as he doesn't say it, no one will find that these mountain bandits are actually recruited by him!

He didn't expect to be discovered. Zhang San knew he couldn't live because he had killed so many people in the village. He couldn't explain to the relatives of the dead.

Zhang San begged: "patriarch, please look at my two children are still small, forgive them, I am willing to die to thank you!"

The patriarch was calm and hesitant.

Zhang San should be damned, but his two children are only seven or eight years old. If what Zhang San does is known by everyone, the two children will inevitably be stabbed in the spine. How can the two children deal with themselves in the village in the future?

Li Jing said, "Zhang San, go out first and wait outside. I'll discuss with my grandfather."

After Zhang San went out, the patriarch asked, "what do you want to discuss with me?"

"The essence of Zhang San is not bad. I want to forgive him. This time, if he is only one person, it's not a pity to die, but his wife and children are hard to settle down." Li Jingdao.

"He's killed so many people. I'm sorry!"?! How do you want me to meet those dead villagers when I go to Jiuquan in the future? " The patriarch glared at Li Jing.

"What else can we do? Put him to death and make his wife and children live under the spit of others? Do you think his wife and children have the face to live? I think it's better to hide things. When things get better in the future, we don't have to hide any more. Let Zhang San leave Changxi village with his wife and children and never come back. It's none of our business whether he will live or die in the future. "

Li Jing's words made the patriarch deep in thought. At half a sound, the patriarch sighed: "OK, call Zhang San in."

This night, everyone did not sleep, some panic, some sad, but in the end still have to pack up things and get ready for everything.

Xu Qing put all the space that can be put into space, and let it go for the rest. There are few people in the countryside. The most valuable things in the family are grain, iron pots and farm tools. It's easier to clean them up.

The next day, families began to move things to the other side of the cave.

The cave, which has only been dug for a few days, is not big enough to hold so many things and live in so many people. We have to lay a mat in the forest around the cave to make do with it. Now that it doesn't rain, we don't have to worry about putting things outside.

Li Jinmei took a place earlier. No matter what the terrain is, as long as there is shade, it's a good place.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears, Xu Qing took 500 Jin of grain and some parcels out. Li Changting and Cao Laoliu moved two or three times before they finished.

Now we are moving together. We can see how much food each family has. If we look at the bags, we can have a number in mind. We are going to burn the village, and there is no possibility of private possession.Looking around, all the families have the same amount of food. Those who think they have little food and may have to go hungry first in the future also have some balance in their hearts. At least they have to go hungry together.

However, Xu Qing's blood enriching porridge and egg flower porridge yesterday were really generous. He had done a lot to deal with the mountain bandit Li Changting. Xu Qing's family didn't have much food and invited them to have porridge, which made the villagers feel very embarrassed. How precious the eggs are and how good it is to save them to hatch chickens.

Xu qingmingxian felt that the people around her were very polite to her. He wanted to help but couldn't find a chance.

"Ah Qing, what a coincidence! Do you live here too?" When Yu Xiaoqian came over with straw on her back, she waved to Xu Qing warmly.

Under a big tree, Xu Qing and Li Jinmei occupy two shady trees respectively, and the remaining one-third of the place is unexpectedly Yu Xiaoqian and Li Qinshu.

Xu Qing didn't go down the mountain for a long time. In some days, he didn't see Yu Xiaoqian and Li Qinshu. They lost some weight, but they were in good spirits.

"Come and have a drink of water." Xu Qing waved to them, handed them each a glass of water and asked, "do you have anything else to move?"

"No, the last one." Yu Xiaoqian said with a smile. She took Xu Qing's glass and gulped it dry. She sighed comfortably.

"I haven't had a meal this morning. Let's eat two cakes first." Xu Qing took out four big pancakes from his cloth bag. Seeing Yu Xiaoqian shaking her head, he thrust them into her hand and said with a smile, "what are you polite to me? Let's eat. I'm not willing to give them to others."

Pancakes are filled with mung beans. It's a hot day to eat.
