No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Just as Fang Ying'an expected, after losing the water source and exposing the Bronze Ball conspiracy, the bandit base camp on Juishan Mountain fell into complete chaos.

The so-called "Bronze Ball Immortal" was pulled off the wall by the bandit leader who fell into madness. Everyone knew what would happen next. After the scam was exposed in public, the bandits would no longer treat him respectfully and friendly.

How pious the bandits were to him before he was exposed, and how angry he became after being exposed.

After disrupting the order in the stronghold, Vice Admiral Cao did not pursue the victory. Instead, he had people shout from below to persuade him to surrender every once in a while.

A day or two later, many bandits ran out of the village one after another and were taken away by the soldiers as soon as they came out.

When Lieutenant General Cao estimated that the number of people in the stronghold was no longer enough to continuously throw boulders and rolling logs, he immediately issued an order - attack the stronghold!

The usual calm in the mountains changed, and the soldiers' shouts resounded throughout the mountains.

In Lancang Mountain opposite the cliff, the patrol team searching for traces of the bandits also heard the loud shouts. It was the last offensive on the Yaoshan Mountain and heralded the end of the bandit suppression.

Li Erlang followed Deputy General Cao with a big knife, got into the cave and rushed into the bandit camp.

The attacking soldiers only encountered weak resistance from a small group of stubborn resistance forces at the entrance of the mountain stronghold. Their offensive was like breaking through bamboo, killing the resisting bandits with their swords.

Seeing their former accomplices being killed, with warm blood splattering on their faces, the bandits clearly knew that the situation was over, so they stopped resisting and dropped their weapons and surrendered.

There were many women and children left in the village. They looked blankly at the soldiers who rushed into the village and stood helpless.

Of course, Deputy General Cao did not make things difficult for them. He asked the soldiers to gather them and hand them over to the county government after they came down the mountain. The most important task now was to search for the whereabouts of the bandit leader and the "Bronze Ball Immortal".

Li Erlang followed closely and rushed into the mountain stronghold. They would not wave their swords at the bandits who took the initiative to surrender.

They drove the woman and child into an empty room to prevent other people from interfering with their movements.

The village was originally an abandoned temple. After the bandits strengthened and renovated the temple, they built dense wooden and thatched houses around it. There was a large pool on the cliff behind the temple, and now the water in it has almost reached the bottom.

Li Erlang carefully searched every room, and finally found the acrobat and his accomplices who had been dead for a long time in a wooden house.

Their deaths were miserable and their bodies were completely bruised. It seemed that they had been tortured for a long time by the angry bandit leader.

Fang Ying'an followed Li Erlang in. When he saw the body of the acrobat, he slowly exhaled. Since the man was dead, the purpose of suppressing the bandits was fulfilled.

These people can be considered worthy of death. If they had been juggling on the streets, they would never have ended up like this.

He put the copper ball back in front of the juggler, returned it to its original owner, and then withdrew.

Li Erlang and others turned the cottage upside down, but still could not find the bandit leader and his close associates. After much deliberation, there was only the last way.

Sure enough, Vice General Cao sent people to search under the cliff and found their bodies.

At this point, the suppression of bandits in Juoshan came to an end.

Those who lost the land they relied on were no longer farmers, and their household registrations were automatically changed to refugees. Deputy General Cao could only hand these people over to the county magistrate for disposal.

As for the bandits in Lancang Mountain, they are powerless now.

Suppressing bandits is not a very difficult task. The most troublesome thing is how to resettle the bandits and their families. Some have committed crimes while others are just forced to have no choice. If they can stay in the village, who would be willing to wander around in the mountains? Living an unstable life.

After the bandit suppression was over, Shiliang became lively again. The fields were full of people busy cutting wheat, and people from the county government also came. The county captain personally led his troops to Shiliang again and took over the surrendered bandits from Deputy General Cao. and their families.

"Vice General Cao is so powerful! Get rid of Shandan's biggest hidden danger!" The county lieutenant watched his officers counting the number of people and started talking to Vice General Cao.

"I don't dare to take credit. Thanks to Mr. Fang who saw through the bandit's plan in advance and offered a clever plan, I was able to capture the mountain stronghold without spending a single soldier."

"I see, Young Master Fang is so smart!" The county lieutenant looked around, but Fang Ying'an was not there: "Young Master Fang..."

"The thieves have been eliminated. Mr. Fang takes the lead and returns to Ganzhou."

"It's a pity..." The county lieutenant was also a soldier and had a burly figure. He looked around and didn't see Fang Ying'an, but he saw the familiar Li Erlang.

I saw Li Erlang coming from the direction of the cliff.

An hour ago, he led Mr. Fang to an ancient mountain road. "Sir, this is the ancient mountain road of Shiliang."

Fang Ying'an decided to take the ancient mountain road back to Ganzhou. Although the road was rugged, he had planned it for a long time.

“I used to see descriptions of the ancient mountain trail in Lancang Mountain in my travel notes, and today I was finally lucky enough to walk it.”

Compared to Fang Ying'an's enthusiasm, Li Erlang was a little worried: "Sir, although the ancient mountain road is a shortcut and the surrounding scenery is beautiful, we must be wary of mountain bandits."

Fang Ying'an waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I have arranged for Fang He to wait halfway."

When Li Erlang heard what he said, he stopped trying to persuade him. The bandits in Yaoshan were so powerful that the bandits in Lancang Mountain would probably tuck their tails and dare not come out in a short time.

Fang Ying'an held the horse and looked at the high Lancang Mountain. The bandits had been eliminated, and the stone that hit his heart no longer existed. Everything suddenly became clearer, and he spoke more: "The official's order to suppress the bandits is not We want to eliminate all the bandits, but target those bandits who occupy the mountains as kings and block roads and rob. But the most fundamental issue has not been solved, and there is no way to resettle the bandits after driving them down the mountain. This repeats. A difficult situation."

He did not expect Li Erlang to answer, but Li Erlang understood what he meant: "The officials have already started to do it. The temple matter is just the beginning. It will be fine in the future."

It is not that simple to take back the land from the royal family and the nobles and give it back to the people. Even if this person is the master of a country, he has to work hard to fight against the powerful and complex powerful people.

Fang Ying An secretly sighed, the boy can be taught. "You are a rare person that I admire with admiration. In terms of talent, you are not as good as those scholars, but in terms of common sense, you are higher than many people, and you are smarter than some people who have read poetry and books." When he thought about the "miracle" in the question, Those who believe deeply feel that there is little hope, and they only hope that those people will listen to the advice.

Just listen to the praise from the superior. Li Erlang didn't take it to heart, "Thank you for your compliment, Master."

It wasn't until Fang Ying's horse climbed up the mountain and disappeared into the thick shadow of the trees that Li Erlang returned alone.

The subsequent cleaning up work will be handed over to the county captain. After the handover is completed, Deputy General Cao will lead the troops back to the barracks, and the patrol team members can also go home.

It had been eight days since Li Erlang left home.

Before leaving, Vice General Cao did not forget Li Erlang's reward: "I not only admire your courage in this bandit suppression, but also your bravery in dealing with bandits in the previous two times. This iron pot is waiting for you at home. Someone will bring it to you!" After saying that, he led the soldiers away.

When Father Li and Li Changji came down from the mountain, they were shocked to see Li Erlang who was also in Shiliang and talking to Deputy General Cao. Then it was not difficult to think of the reason why Li Erlang came to Shiliang.

After the deputy general left, a group of villagers gathered around Li Erlang. They heard that Li Erlang had contributed a lot to the suppression of the bandits. Just now, the deputy general had said that he would reward Erlang, so they all came over to inquire about the process of suppressing the bandits.

They have been staying in Lancang Mountain these days, and apart from chasing the dozen bandits carrying water, they have not seen anyone else.

Although it is beneficial to the village to deal with the bandits, they also want to stand out in front of Shangfeng and gain the general's appreciation.

The people from the Shiliang Patrol Team directly pulled Li Erlang and refused to let him go. They hadn't finished talking about what happened on the mountain yet, so how could they let Li Erlang go back?

"Then what happened to the Bronze Ball Immortal? Didn't he claim to be able to kill people with copper balls? How could he be defeated so easily?"

"The copper ball flew up into the sky in full view of everyone. How did this happen? I heard that many people in the county saw it. Erlang, what is going on?! Tell us about it! !”

In order to go home quickly, Li Erlang told everyone the trick of the "Bronze Ball Immortal" in a few words.

The copper ball can fly only because of a silk thread.

"silk?!"

That silk thread is very special, this fishing line is thinner and stronger. Compared with the flying copper balls, the silk thread is more precious, both elastic and tough.

Thinking about it, Li Erlang gently touched his pocket to confirm that the faint thread was still there.

"The acrobat has two companions. They are holding a very long silk thread in their hands. The acrobat is holding a short one. If the copper ball floats in his hand during the performance, the acrobat himself controls the short thread. The silk thread One end is wrapped around the groove of the copper ball, and the other end is wrapped around the hand. With the head as the fulcrum, the hand wrapped with silk thread can pull the silk thread back to pull up the copper ball." That's why the juggler deliberately kept his head bald. .

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Just this kind of trick, did you fool everyone into believing it? Those mountain bandits were so miserable. They believed in miracles and demanded their lives, but they were so bold that they went down the mountain to hijack the caravan, and went so far as to send troops to the state capital to annihilate them. In the end, they ended up dead.

"Then...how does the copper ball fly into the sky?"

Li Erlang suddenly remembered the scene when Ji Qingyue leaned in his ear and pointed at the two accomplices to explain their roles. At that time, he felt too nervous and shy. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but blush.

With so many people waiting for an explanation, he calmed down a little and continued: "Because the two accomplices of the acrobat stood on the left and right of the acrobat, pulling a long silk thread in their hands, and the acrobat wound the long silk thread. After entering the groove of the copper ball, the two of them control the long silk thread and throw the copper ball into the air. To be able to deceive everyone, I think these three people have been practicing in private for many years before they can cooperate perfectly."

He couldn't think of anything to do but join the bandits and plunder ill-gotten gains in the name of "miracles". This kind of unique skill could help him make ends meet by starting a circus troupe.

The mysterious copper ball in the rumors was suddenly revealed as a trick, and everyone was immediately disappointed with the "miracle".

How could this happen? Can you be deceived like this?

After explaining the secret of the copper ball, the people in Shiliang were finally willing to let Li Erlang go back. After all, everyone had been away from home for a long time, and it was hard for them to hold him captive for too long.

Li Erlang was able to go back, but there were people from other villages traveling with him along the way, and they asked for more details. By the time Li Erlang got home, his legs were not tired and his throat was already smoking.

With the blessing of the "miracle" halo, the story of Li Erlang and the bandits became popular again. Even Li Sanlang in the academy heard about the heroic deeds of his second brother.

Others regarded this matter as just a story and passed it off, but he was shocked and frightened when he heard it. He did not expect such a big thing to happen in his family. The suppression of bandits was so extensive that people in the county were panicked, and the state government even sent troops to Juoshan to suppress the bandits. Unexpectedly, the second brother also personally participated in this bandit suppression, and also contributed a lot in it. He even risked his life to lure the Immortal Nalaoshizi to show up, forcing the Immortal to use a copper ball to attack the second brother, until he was finally exposed by the second brother. Among the tricks.

Li Sanlang calmed down in the academy for a long time. Du Yuan tried to persuade him for a long time before he persuaded him to come back. Otherwise, he would have asked for leave from the mountain chief and his master and immediately ran down the mountain to go home.

There is still one month left for the county examination, so we can't fall short. At that time, we will have to work hard for my second brother to take care of the whole family.

Thinking like this, Li Sanlang went to read a book to review again.

Li Erlang finally returned to the village. When Li Aniang saw her son coming back, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes. She almost burst into tears while hugging Li Erlang.

The fast-footed man came back and said that the husband and Dalang were just blocking off the mountain, while Erlang actually faced the bandits and even confronted those ghosts and immortals, almost losing his life.

"It's okay, Mom! We are all back safely!"

Li Aniang wiped the tears on her face, "Yes, yes, everyone is safe and sound. Now that Hualang and Yueniang have a baby, you, Aweng, have decided to celebrate the 100th day and full moon of the two children in mid-July. Everyone will be happy then!”

After they had been away from home for so many days, Li Liu's youngest daughter-in-law gave birth to a son. Mother and son were safe!

Li Erlang hurriedly congratulated his cousin that the family had survived the crisis without any danger and had two children. This was the best thing.

Aniang Li and her sister-in-law Li Liu decided to cook a sumptuous dinner at home today and then go home afterward.

Li Jinniang in the crowd was relieved to see her second brother come back safely carrying a bamboo tube.

That day she suddenly discovered that the bamboo tube was missing. She was so frightened that it became the biggest shadow in her life.

In the old house, the gloom that hung over everyone has dissipated, and everyone is preparing for dinner together, and there is great joy.

Li Erlang quietly called his sister, "Yue Lang asked me to apologize on your behalf. He said I'm really sorry for scaring you." At the same time, Ji Qingyue's muffled voice came from the bamboo tube: "Sister, I'm really sorry, you Brother, I found that you are still worried about my sudden disappearance. I really didn’t mean it. The situation was urgent at the time and I didn’t have time to tell you. I’m really sorry! I will tell you in advance next time I disappear. of!"

Li Jinniang felt warm in her heart. The second brother was still so attentive: "It's okay. Brother Ji is also worried about the second brother." After thinking about it, she quietly said to Li Erlang: "Aniang left a portion for Brother Ji on the stove. I wanted to take the food home and give it to Brother Ji, why don’t you go get it now?"

In the kitchen, Mrs. Li Liu looked at her sister-in-law serving another meal, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

Aunt Li was not panicked at all: "Well... Erlang is always hungry at night and often has to run to the kitchen to find leftovers, so I thought about taking a portion back and eating it myself when he gets hungry at night."

Mrs. Li Liu nodded, it is indeed the case. Children with long bodies are prone to hunger. Nowadays, the food in my sister-in-law's house is in short supply, so I cannot eat in large quantities. Besides, Li Erlang has been staying in the mountains for so long this time, so he needs to eat more to make up for it. Always right.

So she helped Aniang Li fill an extra bowl.

When he reached the door of the kitchen and was about to go in, Li Erlang twitched his lips and couldn't help but sigh, his mother's excuse was really good.

In short, he took away his rice bowl as a matter of course and returned to his room to deliver it to Ji Qingyue.

In the evening, more than ten or twenty people from two families gathered together for dinner. There was not enough space for everyone in one room, so the tables were simply placed in the yard, and everyone had a reunion dinner together facing the sunset.

In the painting, Ji Qingyue is holding his rice bowl and looking at the cotton seedlings all over the hillside, and his heart is filled with joy.

Of course, the story at the dinner table is inseparable from the protagonist Li Erlang. Fortunately, his father and elder brother were there to help explain, otherwise Li Erlang would not even have time to eat, and the two would talk endlessly.

Li Erlang became popular, and of course Li Silang also took advantage of this gust of wind to become popular among the children.

In the past half month, children kept coming to his door and asking him to tell stories about the bandit suppression in Shiliang Village.

It was during this half month, when everyone was busy harvesting wheat, that Ji Qingyue finally got his proof of settling in this world - household registration paper.

A thin piece of paper recording when he was born, where he came from, and where he settled.

He finally had some connection with this world and was no longer a floating person.

A new wheat-cutting tool has become popular in the village recently - the "samarium knife". Using this tool to cut wheat standing up can not only improve efficiency, but also save energy. You no longer have to bend down all the time.

Li Erlang did not explain this new tool that came out of the blue at the time. Instead, after Ji Qingyue got his household registration, he stopped hiding it from others and said that Ji Qingyue invented it.

So the villagers were full of gratitude to "Ji Qingyue" whom they had never met before.

Who is Ji Qingyue?

A native of Lingnan, he was 23 years old and settled in a shop opposite Liuji Mutton Shop in Yangshu Hutong, west of Shandan County, Fuzhou, Ganzhou.

At the same time, Lu Lu, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, finally received a letter from his father: The bandits in Juoshan have been eliminated, and my son can return home.

On the day they received the letter, the maids immediately started packing their luggage.

It’s been a year since I came to Jiangnan, and I can finally return to Chang’an!

"Lv Niang, have you received a letter from your uncle?" A beautiful woman wearing a blue mandarin gown and apricot-colored skirt came in and saw the maids busy packing their things. "Why did you pack your luggage so quickly?"

Lu Lu stayed in the boudoir with her long hair hanging down. When she saw her cousin, she pulled her to sit down: "Danniang, you also know that I have to leave now. My father has already decided on the route. I will go and say goodbye to my grandfather tomorrow. , I’ll leave the day after tomorrow.”

Xu Dan naturally knew that since the government moved south of the Yangtze River, several forces had entangled and suppressed their family, and their family had been treated in this way, not to mention the daughter and cousin of Lord Zuopushe.

Things in Jiangnan were getting worse. They couldn't take revenge on their uncle who was far away in Chang'an, so they targeted Lu Niang.

"Okay... I have to go on a long trip after you leave. Brother wrote to me and asked me to go to Shandan, Ganzhou and take over the affairs of Hu Suan." Xu Dan held Lu Lu's hand, his eyes full of affection. Reluctant to give up.

When Lu Lu heard this, he said happily: "My father arranged for someone to meet him near Shandan!"

The two sisters hugged each other happily, and the time of separation was postponed a lot! Very good!
