Chapter 13： fairest

Chapter 13 Fairest

After running home, the father and daughter took out ropes from the woodshed while watching the outside of the yard, and tied all the forty or so refugees in the yard into a string.

At the same time, screams, cries, and various muffled sounds of hand-to-hand combat between villagers and refugees were also heard in the village.

Ye Jinkui couldn't help but feel a little lost. He wanted to help, but he was worried that if he left, his wife and children would encounter accidents where he couldn't see.

"Father." Seeing Ye Jinkui's restlessness, Ye Anlan decided to find something for him. She pointed to the forty or so refugees on the ground and asked Ye Jinkui, "Have you thought about how to deal with these people?"

Ye Jinkui looked puzzled.

It is impossible to let go. He doesn't want these people to bring more refugees back to cause trouble for his family, and he doesn't want there to be bad guys thinking about selling his daughter.

But if they killed them all with such a big fanfare, Ye Jinkui worried that the villagers would look at them strangely.

He thought about it, and finally decided to take these refugees to the deserted mountains to deal with them. "It's not that my father is cruel, but my father is afraid that they will retaliate against our family in the future."

There are Li Shi, Ye Wei, and Ye Tang in their family. If those refugees find them, what awaits them will definitely be a purgatory on earth.

Ye Jinkui also killed someone to take Ye Anlan away with Mrs. Li. He didn't mind letting his hands be stained with blood again so that his wife and children could live in peace.

"I know." Ye Anlan smiled and explained to Ye Jinkui, "Don't have any psychological burden. Looking at the familiarity of this group of refugees, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have done this, and they were directly or indirectly killed by them. The villagers don’t know how many there are.”

Ye Jinkui sighed, "Oh, how many people in the village will die if they make such a fuss."

Ye Anlan rested her chin, "Father, if someone comes to borrow money from our family tomorrow"

Ye Jinkui turned his head to look at her, tentatively said with some hesitation and confusion: "If there is really someone who can't survive that day."

Ye Anlan didn't speak, just watched him quietly under the light of the torch.

Ye Jinkui suddenly understood that his daughter didn't want to lend money to others.

He clenched the handle of the knife with his big hand, racking his brains to figure out how to persuade his daughter to help the villagers.

However, before he could organize his words, Ye Anlan verbally drew a list for him.

"Auntie Su and Grandpa Lizheng, if these two ask to come to our door, whether it is lack of money, food or help with work, our family will spare no effort."

"Grandma Chen and Aunt Li at the head of the village, Grandma Liu, Uncle Baogen, Uncle Erzhu, Uncle Huzi, Aunt Xiuhua, and Aunt Cui Cui at the end of the village, you and my mother can borrow food or money from them."

"As for the other families, you and my mother should refer to their previous attitudes towards our family."

Ye Jinkui was silent for a long time, and then let out a muffled hum.

He understood what Ye Anlan meant.

When his family was too poor to see a doctor and could only sell their house to raise money for Ye Anlan's medicine, Lao Lizheng and the young daughter-in-law of the Su family were the only ones in the village who sneaked money into them.

As for those families that Ye Anlan thought could lend them food or silver, although these people did not lend a helping hand to them, they did lend them some copper coins or food when they asked for help.

Especially Grandma Chen at the head of the village, she is an old widow, and her own life is difficult. When Mrs. Li came to ask for help, the old lady still took out half a bag of coarse grains and twenty copper coins.

Although Mrs. Li said at the time that it was a loan, and she would pay back the money as soon as the family got money later, but they are willing to lend a hand when you are in trouble, instead of rejecting you directly, or even asking you to pay. You are sarcastic, Ye Anlan thinks that they should be grateful to others.

As for those who looked on coldly at their family's suffering, and even took the opportunity to sneer at her parents and add insult to injury, Ye Anlan felt that she should also show the same attitude and choose to stand coldly on their suffering.

She said to Ye Jinkui: "Our family's money and food were not brought by strong winds. We can't just give it to everyone. Didn't you help the villagers enough in the early years? But when our family needed help, the villagers How did it treat you and my mother? I think it is fairest for us to treat others as others treat us. "

Ye Jinkui fell silent for a moment.

Ye Anlan patted Daddy Cheap on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, even if we are silver, there will still be people who don't like silver, but only gold."

Ye Jinkui:? ? ?

Ye Anlan said again: "I will go with you when dealing with these people."

Ye Jinkui shook his head and waved his hands, "What are you going to do? You'd better stay at home and protect your mother."

Ye Anlan shook her head, "I'm worried about you going into the mountains alone."

Ye Jinkui couldn't resist her, "Then I'll send your mother and the others to hide in a cave first."

Ye Anlan shook her head, "Don't bother, the villagers are prepared, and the refugees will not come again in a short time."

***

Father and daughter kept watch for almost two cups of tea time, and the refugees who broke into the village were finally willing to leave.

They carried large and small bags of grain, and carried scraps of silver and copper coins looted from villagers' homes. Some refugees even wore coarse cotton clothes that didn't fit well, which looked like they had just been looted from the village.

Ye Anlan's ears were sharp, and she heard someone looking for their boss from a distance, and then heard someone speculate that their boss might have left the village early.

This guess was approved by the vast majority of the refugees. They never dreamed that the leader of the refugees who conquered them by force would be shot to death by Ye Anlan so quietly.

The refugees who left more than 20 corpses of their companions fled, but the villagers who were robbed of food, cotton clothes, and money could no longer sleep.

Some people were weeping at their messy house, some were busy calling doctors for the wounded at home, and some were crying and making funeral arrangements for their dead relatives.

Ye Jinkui and Ye Anlan did not get involved in the aftermath of the village. When the father and daughter had just turned gray in the sky, they quietly took the forty or so refugees who broke into the house, as well as the leader of the refugees and the thin young man who was silenced by Ye Anlan, all of them. Pushed with a cart, it was transported out of the village in two trips.

The cart was too small, so the father and daughter could only toss back and forth, and after going back and forth a lot, it took almost an hour to transport all the more than forty refugees to the small mountain depression selected by Ye Jinkui.

The col is located between the two mountains, and it is a barren wasteland that is inaccessible. The father and daughter set up firewood and dry grass here, and began to destroy the corpse with a blank expression.

Those refugees who were stunned and **** by Ye Anlan were wiped by her and Ye Jinkui separately after the firewood was lit.

When they burned all the corpses and cleaned up the traces of burning, the cold sunlight unique to winter had already flooded the earth.

The father and daughter wiped the sweat from their foreheads, pushed the cart, and hurried back to the village.

Ye Song, who had been guarding the courtyard door tremblingly, heard Ye Jinkui calling the door, opened the door for his father and sister, and said to Ye Jinkui excitedly: "You are back, Grandpa Lizheng has asked you twice .”
