Chapter 40 Staying in a Broken Temple

"Uncle Baogen tried to reason with her at the beginning, but found that it really didn't make sense. He started snatching the child with his parents. Finally, he snatched the child out. The old couple hurriedly carried two bags of food and wanted to run with their children and grandchildren. But the crazy woman grabbed Uncle Baogen's younger son's leg."

"They were pulling and pulling at the door of their homes. When the soldiers who entered the village saw it, they rushed towards them directly. When the woman saw the knife in the other party's hand, she screamed and ran away. It was a pity that Uncle Baogen wanted to protect his parents and children."

Ye Anlan: →_→What kind of weird thing is this!

She asked Su Xiaohe, "How do you know so clearly? Did you see it?"

Su Xiaohe pointed to the roof of the house, "I'll call Fengshou back for dinner. When I walked to the middle of the village, Fengshou ran back from outside the village. He was loud and the sound of shouting was heard by the villagers from afar. Others who were quick to move had already run to the end of the village. Uncle Baogen and his family were fine. The soldiers had all arrived at the head of the village and could see them. The whole family was still shouting and robbing the children."

Ye Anlan pinched his eyebrows, "So you and Fengshou went to help?"

Although Su Xiaohe has been practicing martial arts for a few days, Ye Anlan also equipped her with her own sleeve arrows to defend herself. In addition, this girl is determined, able to endure hardships, willing to study, and has a lot of courage. Ye Anlan can guess what she did at that time without thinking deeply.

"I didn't help much." Su Xiaohe shook his head with regret, "I shot two sleeve arrows and injured two rioters. The rest were made of a good harvest."

"It's already very good." Ye Anlan praised her, "Many people will be frightened to the point of being so scared that they are weak when they face such a scene for the first time. At least you calmly used a sleeve arrow."

As for Zheng Fengshou, this kid has been practicing intentionally for a long time. He dares to fight and kill, and Ye Anlan is not surprised at all.

Ye Jinkui also said: "Fortunately Fengshou and Xiaohe. If it weren't for their help, Uncle Baogen would probably die this time."

After he said this, Ye Anlan understood why Ye Jinkui, who had always been kind, suggested that his good brother and his wife be separated.

"I also gave you Uncle Baogen twenty taels of silver and a few bags of rice and grain, and some wounded medicine." Ye Jinkui sighed, "In order to escape, except for the little money on his body, their family really didn't bring out any of the things this time. The whole family was about to lose food."

Ye Anlan doesn't care, just give it to her. Anyway, she has gotten a lot of money to touch the corpse during this period.

Although most of them were spent, Ye Anlan could afford to help her father's good brother twenty taels of martial arts.

She asked Ye Jinkui, "Then where did I, Uncle Baogen and others go later?"

Ye Jinkui said, "I went to his uncle's house. His uncle is a hunter and lives in Wangjiazhai, about 60 miles away from our village. It is poor and sidelined. Most of the villagers are hunters who have seen blood. The soldiers will not come to cause trouble at any time."

He gave the other party twenty taels of silver, and the other party himself had some wealth. With this money, the other party could build an ordinary farmyard in Wangjiazhai, and then open a few acres of wasteland to cultivate. In his spare time, he could learn how to hunt with his uncle, so that he could barely worry about eating and drinking.

Ye Anlan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

People in troubled times are not as good as peaceful dogs. People who have no ability want to find peace in this world are just like dreams, which is a luxury.

It is actually a lucky thing to hide in the mountains and seek relatives with her family like her Uncle Baogen, Grandpa Li Zheng, Uncle Hu Zi, and Uncle Erzhu.

Although I don’t know how long their luck will last, at least at present, their situation is much better than that of ordinary people.

After lunch, Ye Jinkui and Zheng Fengshou got into the car and everyone embarked on the road to move east again.

Ye Anlan is still responsible for exploring the way forward. She always keeps a distance between the large army and not far and near. Such distance can not only help her respond to possible dangers in time, but also allow her to withdraw support as soon as possible when the convoy encounters danger.

***

The group of people walked and stopped, and during this period, they sent out more than ten groups of scattered refugees who wanted to make up their ideas. They finally arrived at the dilapidated temple that Ye Anlan had been optimistic about before.

The dilapidated temple is not big, with a total of five rooms in front and behind, and three of them are all living with passers-by refugees.

Ye Anlan picked up the remaining two relatively intact ones to accommodate Li and others, and then drove the mule cart from the back door into the narrow courtyard in the middle of the temple.

They had a cart and mules, with bags piled up on the cart and baskets on their backs. They saw that their family was rich. As soon as they entered the dilapidated temple, they attracted the attention of all the refugees in the temple.

Some of these eyes are just simple envy, but more of them are bad intentions.

Ye Anlan pretended not to notice those obscure or blatant sights. She asked Ye Jinkui and others to enter the house first, "You go and have a rest first, I will watch the mule cart."

Ye Jinkui nodded and took Li and others into the house to eat.

There are people around, and it is inconvenient to cook with fire and easier to attract covetous people. Ye Jinkui and the others ate coarse grain and pickle filling cakes prepared by Li and others in the morning.

The taste of cold water and cold cakes is really not good, but compared to those refugees outside who can only eat grass roots and tree bark, they are undoubtedly lucky and happy.

Everyone was eating, and Ye Anlan outside welcomed the first group of refugees who coveted their two trucks of supplies.

There are only a dozen refugees in this group. Although the number is comparable to that of Ye Anlan and others, all of them are tall and big, young and strong. Unlike Ye Anlan and others, children and women who are easy to bully at first sight are the main members of the team.

"Hey, kid, your car is filled with food, right?"

Ye Anlan's appearance is really not intimidating. These refugees who are between the ages of 20 and 30 who rely on their strength to bully other refugees have not taken Ye Anlan, who is responsible for guarding the vehicles seriously.

The man in the lead said, and walked towards Ye Anlan.

"I advise you not to go forward again." Ye Anlan bent his bow and arrow, which was as if the other party was approaching, and she would shoot the other party to death with one arrow.

The strong man was stunned at first, but soon laughed again, "Oh, brothers, are you having a tough time."

He stared at Ye Anlan's small body, and walked forward with a provocative stance, while chattering, "I said, kid, have you ever killed someone? Have you ever seen blood? Do you know what human flesh feels like? He wants to scare your grandfather with a pair of arrows..."
