A poor hero

"Damn it, no, I have to go back to the village as soon as possible and tell the villagers that the bandits are coming soon."

Chen Chen returned to the creek, found the little wild boar he had hidden here, and cursed angrily.

Because bandits often walked here, there are some traces of their passage.

Chen Chen followed these traces and went down the mountain easily.

But this is not Chenjiacun, but another village next to Zhaocun.

Chen Chen was afraid that there were bandits' spies in these villages, so he didn't dare to stop and rest.

So after asking for directions, he carried the wild boar and walked towards Chenjiacun.

By the time he got home, it was getting slightly dark.

"Chen Chen, where have you been? You came back so late. Everyone in the village is looking for you."

When Shen Qian saw Chen Chen, she burst into tears and came towards him.

It turned out that the third aunt saw that Chen Chen had not come back for so long, and was afraid that something would happen to him.

So the third aunt called Chen Sheng and some villagers, and went up the mountain with torches to look for Chen Chen.

"Chen Qian, what did you say? Third aunt and the others are going up the mountain to look for me now?"

Chen Chen dropped the little wild boar and felt relieved.

If he hadn't eaten well and exercised every day, he wouldn't have been able to carry the little wild boar for more than half a day.

But even so, he was exhausted today.

"Well, the third aunt said that if you come back and they haven't come back yet, she will ask me to go to the open space behind the village to light a fire. Then they will know when they see the fire."

Shen Qian touched the wound on Chen Chen's face and cried.

Chen Chen patted Shen Qian on the shoulder and scolded himself: "Shen Qian, stop crying. Then you and Xiaoniu go make a fire and tell the third aunt. They might be worried."

Shen Qian wiped her tears and said "Yeah".

Then she took the firewood and the calf and walked towards the mountain behind the village.

Chen Chen's nose felt sour. He didn't expect so many people to care about him.

Especially his third aunt, she cared about him and loved him as much as his own mother.

He wants to treat his third aunt as his mother, and when he gets rich in the future, he will take good care of her.

Soon, not long after Shen Qian and Xiao Niu went out, a fire was lit at the foot of the mountain behind the village, illuminating the area brightly.

After half an hour, Third Aunt and Chen Sheng also came back with torches.

"Dachen, where have you been and why did you come back so late?"

As soon as the third aunt entered the door, she asked anxiously.

Chen Chen lowered his head, as if he was a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment.

He pointed to the little wild boar on the ground and replied reproachfully: "Third Aunt, I went the wrong way. I was chasing a little wild boar..."

Chen Chen told everyone what he encountered today one by one.

Originally, when the villagers saw the little wild boar on the ground, they believed in Chen Chen some time ago.

But later, when Chen Chen talked about bandits, they couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Chen Chen, are you saying that you have entered a bandit's den and that the bandits are about to go down the mountain to steal food?"

A villager frowned and asked curiously.

He absolutely didn't believe that this kid Chen Chen could come and go freely from the mountain.

When Chen Chen heard this, he wasn't angry either.

He just nodded and replied: "Yes, I found out that the bandit will go down the mountain to grab food soon. I estimate that the target may be our village then. We need to prepare early."

"I don't believe it. It's only the beginning of April and the early crops haven't been harvested yet. How could the bandits come down the mountain?"

"Chen Chen, did you hear that right? In the past, bandits waited for the harvest day before going down the mountain to grab food!"

"Isn't it right? Today, our food is just enough to make ends meet, so we don't have much to rob!"

"These bandits are not guilty of going down the mountain to grab this little food. They are not stupid."

……

Most of the villagers did not believe that the bandits would go down the mountain to steal food at this time, and they started talking about it.

According to past practice, the bandits would only go down the mountain to collect the new year's grain when the common people had finished harvesting.

Farming has just started, and the landlords don’t have much surplus food, let alone the common people.

Unless there are special circumstances, ordinary bandits would never choose to grab such a small amount of rations at this time.

When he heard that the villagers didn't believe him, Chen Chen suddenly became anxious, "Brothers and aunts, brothers and sisters, think about it, when did I, Dachen, deceive you."

Chen Sheng's expression was serious. Dachen's water tanker had recently made him blush. He would support Chen Chen in both public and private matters.

So he said seriously: "Brothers and sisters, what Dachen said is right! It's useless for him to lie to us. He doesn't have to tell such lies. He can get something as rare and expensive as a waterwheel back. "

"Brother Sheng, it's not that we don't believe in Dachen, but we have nothing now. There is nothing worth grabbing by the bandits."

"Yes, we have nothing now, and we only eat the rations. You won't take the rations from me!"

……

It's none of your business, hang up high.

The villagers still looked indifferent. After all, they didn't have anything valuable at home, and they didn't even have much food rations.

"Haha, third uncle, your girl is going to get married soon! She is so beautiful, aren't you afraid of being snatched away by bandits?"

"A Biao, you just spent so much money to marry back a beautiful wife, and you still have nothing?"

"Ajun, your sister isn't married yet! You have to be careful and don't let the bandits snatch her away."

……

Chen Sheng directly attacked several villagers in front.

When the villagers heard what Chen Sheng said, they became afraid.

When it comes to valuable things, their family may not have them, but every family has sisters, daughters-in-law, and girls.

"Brother Sheng, are you telling the truth? Don't the bandits only collect annual grain?"

"But I've never heard of bandits robbing women! Brother Sheng, are you scaring us?"

Now that the matter was related to them, they no longer looked indifferent, but started asking around Chen Sheng.

"Okay, brothers and sisters, what Brother Sheng said is true. What are bandits? They are guys who do all kinds of evil."

"Not to mention your daughters-in-law and sisters, even your mother will rob you. I saw it from above."

Chen Chen gritted his teeth and said angrily.

In fact, he didn't see a woman on the mountain. He didn't know whether Li Dalong was hiding or there was no woman at all.

But he has watched too much TV and knows that bandits are not human at all, and massacres of villages are a common occurrence.

So he tried to inspire these villagers who had no fighting spirit to fight against the bandits.

When many villagers heard Chen Chen's words, they all fell silent.

After all, this matter is too big and they don't know what to do.

Their home is here, and they can't escape. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and it will be too late to sue the officials.

"Okay, don't panic, everyone. Since Dachen told us these things, he must have a solution."
