Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

"God doesn't want us to live!"

The villagers were exhausted physically and mentally after working all night, but they never thought that another shocking wave would come at this moment. They were all desperate and couldn't help but slumped on the ground and cried.

Wan Shufang felt very uncomfortable seeing them in pain, but the situation was very dangerous now, and she couldn't let the villagers miss the opportunity to escape.

She immediately said: "Everyone, cheer up! We still have family members. No matter how ferocious those bandits are, we are just running away one by one."

"The Chen family is right, we have to escape quickly." Some people reacted quickly and immediately got up to take their family members to escape.

The whole village was in panic for a while. Wan Shufang was worried about Chen An and wanted to take them out to escape together. As a result, the so-called bandits had already arrived outside the village, and the leader was Chen Changli.

Looking embarrassed but energetic, he saw something was wrong with the situation in the village, so he immediately rushed in with a few people, and then rushed in the direction of the ancestral hall with a clear purpose.

"What happened in the village?" His voice was urgent and uneasy, but it cut through the panic of the entire village like thunder.

Wan Shufang, who was dragging Wu Qiaoyue and the two of them towards the ancestral hall, heard this familiar voice and quickly turned her head to look at him, and met his gaze as he searched for people everywhere.

"Daughter-in-law, what happened in the village? Why didn't I see anyone along the way!" Seeing Wan Shufang and the other three, Chen Changli took the lead in taking a look at their situation.

Finding that the three of them were just a little pale and otherwise fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked directly into Wan Shufang to ask eagerly.

"It's really you. It's great that you're back safely." Wan Shufang thought that the voice she heard was an illusion. When Chen Changli came closer, she was sure that she heard correctly and that Chen Changli was really back safely.

Her tense mind relaxed instantly, and then she told him what happened last night, and quickly asked: "How is the situation over there? Why are you in such a mess? Is things not going well?"

Chen Changli thought that the village would be peaceful and nothing would happen, but he didn't expect that the gangsters in the village were related to the bandits.

He was frightened and frightened, staring at Wan Shufang with burning eyes.

After confirming that she was standing in front of him safely and without any incident, he relaxed completely, and the ray of solemnity lingering around him gradually faded away, and his soft eyebrows seemed to be haloed with a faint golden edge against the light. People's hearts are filled with sweetness.

Wan Shufang blinked and took a breath, then continued to ask as if nothing had happened: "Why don't you answer me? Could it be that things are not going well?"

Chen Changli looked calm: "The suppression of bandits went very smoothly. The county magistrate has captured all the bandits. As for the grain piled in the valley, the county magistrate said that the villagers' portion can only be returned after verification."

"Really? But why do I feel that your mood is not too high?" Wan Shufang couldn't help but be happy when she heard that the bandits had been caught. However, seeing that Chen Changli's face was calm but vaguely worried, she was a little worried about Chen Changli. .

"Most of the bandits are villagers..." After saying this, Chen Changli rolled his eyes slightly and then chuckled, "This is all the matter that the county magistrate has to take care of. I am just an ordinary villager and cannot control this matter. , okay, let’s not stay here anymore, let’s go home first.”

When Wan Shufang heard what he said, she sensed for no reason that he was worried.

Obviously, the incident of suppressing bandits last night was not that simple. He must have been hiding something in his heart and did not want to tell anyone.

After taking a deep look at Chen Changli, Wan Shufang suppressed the worries spreading in her heart and asked Wu Qiaoyue to go to the ancestral hall to call out everyone in the cellar. Then she took Chen Xiyun home to cook for the whole family. A good meal to forget the panic of last night.

After Chen Changli came back, he went directly to the study, took out his pen and ink and wrote a note, then called a pigeon, tied the note to its leg and let it fly.

"I don't know how many people disguised themselves as bandits to search for the villagers' food. I hope this matter can be found out as soon as possible and all the food can be recovered." Chen Changli murmured.

He had thought that this time was just an ordinary bandit suppression, but he did not expect that when he broke into the stronghold, he would find that some of the bandits were soldiers with good strength.

After a fight and finding the ledger recording grain transportation, he learned that these soldiers disguised as bandits had been ordered to collect grain.

Because there are signs of drought in various places this year, gangsters in many villages have been forced into the mountains by their means.

As the drought became more severe, they began to use these ruffians to steal the villagers' food, so that they accumulated a shocking amount of food.

Chen Changli immediately guessed something bad, and simply revealed the matter to the county magistrate, asking him to report the matter, and then helped him tie up the bandits and take them down the mountain.

He originally wanted to make sure Wan Shufang and the others were safe before going to town, but he didn't expect something to happen in the village.

After much thought, he felt that the matter of bandits could not be reported to the county magistrate alone, so he quickly asked a carrier pigeon to carry the message to the person who had the full authority to resolve the matter.

It didn't take long for Chen Changli to adjust his mood and went to the cellar to bring Chen Ping and others out. Then he went to Widow Xu and others, asked about the people caught by the villagers, and then took them to the Yamen together.

After sending everyone to prison, he went to see Chen Ping alone, "Why do you want to be a bandit?"

Chen Ping had just been woken up by the jailer and was dazed. When he heard Chen Changli's words, he quickly stood up and rushed towards Chen Changli.

As a result, he couldn't touch Chen Changli through the cell door, and it was only then that he woke up and realized that he was locked in a cell.

His face was filled with disbelief, and the look in his eyes that looked at Chen Changli also contained an unconcealed hatred, but in an instant it turned into a prayer.

"Why am I here? Did my mother send me here? I am her son who grew up loving me. How could she treat me like this?"

"Dad, please get me out quickly. I don't want to stay here. Wow, mother is so cruel, I hate her."

Chen Changli's expression turned cold: "At this moment, you don't reflect on yourself. Instead, you blame your mother. Chen Ping, you really disappoint me."

"What am I reflecting on? I'm not wrong!" Chen Ping jumped up angrily, "Obviously it was my mother who changed into a different person because of that bitch Chen Xiyun, and she was so cruel to me. I just want my mother to continue to love me as she did before. That’s all.”

Seeing the frost on Chen Changli's face, Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pretended to be pitiful, crying sadly.

"Uh-huh, Dad, I'm your first son! You also love me very much. How can you bear to let your mother treat me like this?"
