Zhu Da asked questions in his heart, but did not speak, but just followed silently, which made Xiang Bo look at him with approval.

It was really time to go to Li Ji's house in General Li Banner. The three of them were walking in the village, but there was still no one on the road. However, someone lies down at the crack in the door and saw the three of them and walked out. At this time, the village became a little popular.

The Li family gate was closed, and others were respectful when they came to Li Zongqi's house, but Xiang Yue Xiangbo didn't care at all. He slapped the door carefully when he went up, and the door was "bang bang", which made the dogs in the yard bark loudly.

"I woke up by a dog barking last night and didn't sleep well all night." Zhou Qingyun muttered.

"Maybe the Li family's dog barked first last night." Zhu Da noticed another thing.

The door was getting stronger and stronger, and even made the neighbors look around. There was still silence inside. Some people wondered if Mr. Li's family had run away, and some people wondered if something had happened. Before they could climb over the wall, they heard someone inside asking tremblingly: "Who...who!"

"Xiang Yue, the old man is here to find Mr. Li!" Xiang Yue Xiangbo's tone was not at all respect.

The answers in the courtyard sounded a little familiar, but they were too hoarse. Soon the dog barking stopped. The gate of the courtyard was opened. It was actually the door that General Li Ji had opened by himself. General Li Ji looked dim. When he went out to scan the door, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were all villagers.

"Xiang...what is there for Brother Xiang?" Li Ji's mouth was shocked to Zhu Da. It turned out that Mr. Li's voice was hoarse.

"I'm talking to you for this last night, I'm discussing it with you for this." Xiang Yue Xiangbo said impatiently.

Mr. Li Ji's reaction was obviously slow. He was stunned for a moment before moving away. Xiang Yue led Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun into it. It was the first time the two boys came in. They looked around curiously. There were two young men holding hatchets and wooden sticks in the yard. Zhu Da had some impression of these two people. They were distant nephews of the Li family. They had been in love for several years. They said they were relatives, but in fact they were used as servants and long-term workers.

The two of them were tired of sleeping all night and could no longer open their eyes. However, Zhu Da noticed the clapper and wooden hammer on the ground. This should have been the one that rang last night. They were curious and looked around. The two tired Li family members were also puzzled, not knowing what the second young man was doing.

After walking a few steps, Mr. Li said to someone, "Put your knife away."

Everyone looked back and found a Park knife leaning beside the gate of the courtyard. In Zhu Da's memory, Mr. Li, as a military officer, had never seen him take any weapons. Unexpectedly, there was this Park knife at home, which looked quite new.

When he was about to reach the main hall, Mr. Li yawned. The yawn seemed to have awakened him. Li Ji stopped, slapped his hands on his forehead, and turned his head and shouted: "Ergou, go and let your aunt out."

Everyone was stunned when they saw the man being called to the point where he suddenly realized his mind and ran to the woodshed. Mr. Li turned around and smiled awkwardly, and followed him. Then everyone heard the sound of the lid of the woodshed, some girls were crying there, and some women scolded him.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other and saw the contempt expression on each other's face. Mr. Li was well-off, and the family was the most young and strong in the village. As a result, they were so timid that they were so stupid. They even forgot to release their wife and children in the cellar. Are they scared?

"He is not bad. He knows that he will ring the clapper. If someone else wants to leave, the whole family may have been hiding in the cellar!" Xiang Yue Xiangbo's words were not known to hear the teenagers' voices, or to feel that it is necessary to say them.

The poor families in the village don’t have so many etiquette and women have to go to the fields to work, so they don’t avoid outsiders. Mr. Li’s family has rules. After Li Ji’s wife came out, she hurried into the inner room. However, Li Chunhua was young and had no taboos. She was surprised to see Zhu Da in the yard, but she looked scared and exhausted, so she didn’t care about losing her temper and hurriedly followed her.

Zhu Da didn't pay attention to the female family. Mr. Li's two sons came with him. Li He's arms were still hanging. After being hit by the debtor from above, he found a bone-stripping doctor, but he had to keep it for a while.

When both parties entered the main hall, as Xiang Yue's identity, no one would pour tea and water. The reason why Li Ji invited people in was simply because he was afraid of giving face.

"General Li Qi, it was probably because of the bandits who came last night. If it weren't for the dog barking and Bangzi, the bandits would probably rush in." Xiang Bo said straight to the point.

After sitting down, General Li yawned there, his face was a little impatient. After hearing this, he froze. Then he stood up in panic and stared at Xiang Bo and said, "What are you talking about? What bandits?"

Not only did his face change drastically, his two sons were also looking like earth. Xiang Bo shook his head and replied, "There were more than a dozen or twenty bandits who entered the mountain. Maybe they had washed some villages and occupied it. Maybe they went down the mountain last night. It's probably a few days before the news came to you."

"Bandit soldiers, bandit soldiers, why are they targeting our Baihu?" Mr. Li muttered with unconscious eyes. He used to calling him "Baihu" and others have already called himself a village.

After saying a few words, Mr. Li suddenly became energetic and stared at Xiang Bo and said, "Brother Xiang, you are an old hunter. Could it be a wolf or a leopard that came last night?"

"The dog barked so fiercely, and the wolf and the leopard had been scared away long ago. They could only be humans!" Xiang Bo said firmly, and this made President Li fall on the chair.

Zhu Da was watching. He was not very interested in the conversation. He was just curious about one thing, why the news about this private salt dealer is more informative than the general flag of the garrison.

"I want to report it as soon as possible, tell Zhao Qianhu, tell Master Luo, and ask them to send troops to clear it out. There are only a dozen bandits. When the army comes..." Mr. Li seemed to be cheering himself up and said loudly.

Xiang Bo showed disdain and anxiety on his face, shook his head and said, "The matter on the official side is troublesome, let alone the troops are being sent. If you report it layer by layer, when will the bandits be sent down? The bandits will not wait for you. Besides, if you really want to send people to clear them up, can our village stand it? I'm afraid it's more troublesome than being attacked by bandits!"

This was like a basin of cold water pouring on the head. Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, immediately dejected, and then asked anxiously: "What should I do!"

Zhou Qingyun curled his lips and gave Zhu Da a wink, his face full of disdain. This expression fell into the eyes of the two sons of the Li family. Li Ying and Li He both glared at each other, but Zhu Da did not respond to Zhou Qingyun. By this time, he had a good impression of Mr. Li.

No matter how timid he is, no matter how incompetent he is, he is, but Mr. Li was not so scared that he hid in the cellar last night. He also knew that he was ringing the clapper. You should know that his family was next to the village. He usually saw the place bright, but it was the outermost periphery. When the bandits attacked his family, they were the first to be attacked. And when he heard the army harming people just now, he immediately asked other ways.

He said a thousand words and ten thousand. Mr. Li Ji still had Baibao Village in his heart, and he was concerned about everyone's safety and public intentions. No matter what, there was nothing to look down on in this thought and practical actions.

"We are building a veranda outside the village. There are people on duty at night, and every household has to patrol young men." Xiang Bo gave the answer in a straightforward manner.

Mr. Li's mood had stabilized a lot. He sat on the chair and thought for a while, but smiled bitterly on his face, and said in a stern voice: "Brother Xiang, our soldiers in a hundred households have been holding hoes for several lifetimes. What can they do? If the bandits really want to do it, the village will be washed directly. How can they block it!"

"We have to fight. When the bandits are coming, the men have to stop them. Otherwise, my wife and children will not even have the chance to hide in the cellar. Would you just wash your neck and wait for death?" Xiang Bo stared at his eyes, but he was a little angry.

Speaking of this, Li Ying, the eldest son of the Li family, interrupted and said: "When a man dies, what's the use of women and children? Our village, no, our hundred households will definitely be occupied by others!"

Since the Xiang family entered the door, the Li family has been suppressed and scolded, let alone the contempt that Zhou Qingyun showed. The young man could not calm down and naturally had to say a few words. Li Ying was actually right. Orphans and widows could not defend their property at all. They were either forcibly taken away by their husband's family or taken back by the garrison. Baibao Village is full of poor military households. So if there is any possibility of arguing, life may be worse than death.

Xiang Yue was furious when he heard this. He slapped the table heavily and said sarcastically: "Coward, I don't dare to fight. Do you still have to take my family to die with you!"

It was different for those who had been on the battlefield to kill people. When he had an attack, Li Ying was so scared that he took a step back and did not dare to argue, but he looked dissatisfied. Mr. Li was worried about it and didn't care about it at all.

Zhu Da couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought Xiang Bo had figured it out, but he didn't expect Xiang Bo was just a savvy person. He actually didn't think about it clearly. Zhu Da's smile was seen by Li He, the second son of General Li, and immediately thought he had caught the handle. He raised his unharmed arm and pointed at him and said, "What are you laughing? Is my brother wrong? Just laugh there if you know what you are!"

When he had an attack, the eyes of the people in the room were focused on Zhu Da's side, but Zhou Qingyun's eyebrows were about to attack. Li He's brother Li Ying also thought of ridicule a few words, while Xiang Bo and Li Zongqi's eyes were a little impatient, with their faces full of expressions of "What trouble does a child cause?"

"Xiang Bo, the bandits want to be as powerful as you said. Even if you build a wall of earth, you will turn it over. Even if the males are trained, they will not be the opponent of the bandits."

The bandits are like wolves and the people are like sheep. Even if there are more than ten to one hundred, the bandits will still win. Everyone understands this principle.

But when Zhu Da said that, Xiang Yue Xiangbo was furious, and Zhou Qingyun also stared at him. The father and son of the Li family also looked strange. Although the meaning of this was to echo them, it was not comfortable to hear.

Xiang Yue and Zhou Qingyun's anger can be imagined. Zhu Da's words did not have the duty of his disciples. He bent down when he saw the general flag, and he was really absurd and slutty.

"We are humans, and bandits are also humans. Everyone is afraid of injury and death. We build a wall of earth, gather people to practice, and be more guarded. The bandits were worried when they saw it. Although they were not afraid of us, they also knew that fighting with us would cause death and injuries. Naturally, they were unwilling to take the risk of causing this trouble, so they would avoid it so that our households could protect them well."

The room became quiet, and both anger and weirdness turned into astonishment, and then became thoughtful.

"Last night, the thief was slow to move and finally left. Isn't it just that after the dog barked, they felt that the villagers were alarmed and would there be troubles in what to do?" Zhu Da added.

Xiang Yue Xiangbo's face was full of smiles and nodded repeatedly, while Zhou Qingyun's face was like "I don't understand, but it's definitely right". The three fathers and sons of the Li family looked at Zhu Da in surprise.
