Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

In the house where the Cheng family took shelter from the rain.

Mrs. Lin loudly made arrangements before she even entered the room.

"Boss, take them and go to the house quickly to get water."

"Second daughter-in-law, quickly sit on the pot, pour the water from the bucket in, and start burning it!"

"Xiaoyu, hurry up and find a clean rag and wipe the stool well. Don't make it worse."

"Boss, my wife, Xing'er, you two should be faster, hurry into the house and help tidy up, and then set up the stove and start cooking."

"These bandits have hidden a lot of good stuff, including flour, rice, meat... they're all here!"

Mrs. Lin's last words were quite arrogant.

Ever since she had just discovered a large amount of rice, flour, grain, oil, chicken, pork, gold and silver in the two empty houses of the village chief's house, Mrs. Lin had become swollen.

Her first reaction at the time was: "Oh my God! This bandit is too rich!"

The second reaction was: "My eldest granddaughter killed these bandits, so don't these things belong to me?"

Unfortunately, Cheng Wan poured a basin of cold water down on him.

"Miscellaneous, some of the things in here were stolen by this group of bandits from the surrounding villages, and they have to be returned later."

"Also, the luggage that Xu Zhinian and the others brought on the road are also here, and they cannot be moved."

Old Mrs. Lin, Old Mrs. Lin was dumbfounded.

What? You just thought your family was going to be prosperous, but in the end you couldn’t move?

Who can I talk to to explain this?

It was Xu Zhinian who took the initiative and said, "It doesn't matter. We didn't bring much with us. Except for the box containing personal clothes, we can eat and use everything else as we please."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin's face full of grooves immediately burst into laughter.

The look she looked at Xu Zhinian was extremely kind, even more disgusting than the look she looked at her granddaughter.

"Oh, good boy, don't worry. I know what I know, old lady. Let's just take out what we need for today's meal. I won't take more."

When Mrs. Lin brought people into the house to get things, Cheng Wan didn't pay any more attention.

She knows her tits.

Although the old lady loves money, she is definitely a sensible person inside.

Since she has told the old lady that some of the things here cannot be moved, Old Mrs. Lin will not take more, let alone touch the gold and silver treasures in those boxes.

inside the house.

Cheng Wan quickly cleaned herself up, put on dry clothes, picked up the bowl of ginger soup that Wang had just placed on the stool, drank it all in one gulp, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys drink the ginger soup first and then continue to clean it up, otherwise the ginger soup will get cold later."

Xu Zhinian had a relaxed smile on his face, "We didn't get wet much, so it's fine if we don't drink. But you, drink more, but don't get sick from getting wet."

"Yes, Miss Cheng, when you met us over there, you were soaked and dripping."

Chunwen helped Xu Zhishu change clothes and chatted with a smile.

Cheng Wan directly picked up a bowl of ginger soup, walked up to Xu Zhinian who was taking care of his hair, and handed the bowl to Xu Zhinian's mouth, "Drink quickly."

Xu Zhinian raised his head and glanced at Cheng Wan, then obediently took the bowl and drank it in small sips.

"Chunwen, drink quickly, and this little guy also needs to drink some."

Watching the three of them drink up their own ginger soup, Cheng Wan pursed her lips. She wanted to know how Xu Zhinian and the others were caught here by the bandits. I also want to know if Xu Zhinian and the others have suffered any other hardships besides hunger and fear.

But she didn't dare to ask, for fear of causing some bad memories for the three of them.

Xu Zhinian saw the confusion on Cheng Wan's face, and with a quick thought, he guessed what Cheng Wan was struggling with.

"Don't worry, the three of us didn't suffer much except for being a little hungry. It's just,"

Xu Zhinian's eyes dimmed and he said softly: "It's just a pity that those guards died in the hands of those bandits. If the bandits hadn't outnumbered the guards by too many, and they had the advantage of the terrain to ambush us in advance, we would have Why..."

Xu Zhinian's face was full of sadness, "When I get to my uncle's house, I will definitely write a letter to my father and ask him to treat the family members who are protecting me favorably."

Cheng Wan's body stiffened and his eyes blinked rapidly.

Xu Zhinian and Chunwen didn't notice anything was wrong with Cheng Wan at that moment.

Chunwen gritted his teeth and said: "Those bastards! Fortunately, the young lady was smart and frightened those bandits that day. Otherwise, our young lady and the young master would have long..."

When Xu Zhinian heard this, his face finally regained some expression.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for the two knives you gave me and Chunwen."

There was confusion in Cheng Wan's eyes. Facing so many bandits, what use could those two daggers have?

"At that time, the group of bandits suddenly appeared, surrounded us, and caught us off guard. I knew in my heart that I would definitely not be able to escape, so I yelled at the bandits with all my strength, saying that I was the niece of the governor of Anling County. Some guards went to deliver a message to my uncle in advance. If I didn't arrive at my uncle's house on time, my uncle would definitely send people to look for me along the way and tell them to let us go, otherwise a disaster would be imminent. But it was useless, they didn't do anything. Listen to what I’m shouting.”

Chunwen added silently, "The scene was very chaotic at that time. There were shouts of killing everywhere. Maybe it wasn't that they didn't listen, but that they couldn't hear what my young lady was shouting at all."

Xu Zhinian nodded, it was also possible.

"After all the guards were killed, the bandits grabbed Chunwen and me by our clothes, and tried to kill Zhishu. I protected Zhishu, and Chunwen protected me. While Chunwen was pulling against a bandit, She scratched the bandit’s arm with the knife you gave her.”

"Of course the bandits were very angry and wanted to chop Chunwen immediately. I was so frightened at the time that I screamed and repeated the same words I shouted before, and told them that this knife was our family's unique weapon."

"The bandit leader snatched our knives and held them in his hands for a long time. In the end, the bandits didn't know what they were thinking. After all, they didn't continue to attack the three of us there. Instead, they took our luggage with them. The three of us were brought to this village, and then the three of us were imprisoned with those children."

Xu Zhinian touched the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said fearfully: "I thought the bandit leader would come soon... But except for the bandits who brought us food, no one paid attention to us at all."

"Then one time I heard the bandits outside saying that their boss had taken some kind of job, and it seemed that he wanted to arrest someone. On the day he took the three of us back to the village, he took many bandits out of the village, and they haven't come back until now. "

"Awan, it's so great to meet you here! It's those two swords that we failed to protect..."

Cheng Wan gently patted Xu Zhinian's back to express comfort.

"The knife is not important. The most important thing is that you are okay. Just don't tell my family about this..."

Cheng Wan gave the two of them a look you know.

Xu Zhinian and Chunwen immediately understood and nodded seriously.

They successfully received what Cheng Wan wanted to express. Cheng Wan's family did not know about the two knives and the knives given to them. If this matter was mentioned, Cheng Wan's family might be angry.

"Don't worry, we will definitely not mention anything about the sword. Don't tell us where the sword came from. Only you know."

"Zhishu, you are not allowed to say anything either, do you understand?"

Although Xu Zhishu didn't understand what was forbidden at all, he still nodded seriously with a straight face.

Cheng Wan swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.

She was just thinking about how to explain the origin of those two knives.

At that time, he also took out a knife when he killed the soldiers for the first time, but Cheng Wan secretly took the knife back without anyone noticing.

At that time, everyone's attention was on other things, and no one paid attention to this trivial matter. Who would care about what kind of knife Cheng Wan used to kill the soldiers?

Cheng Wan thought that she would have to search the place where the bandit leader lived to see if she could find the two knives.

Cheng Wan was sure that the bandit leader did not carry the two knives with him, and that the bandit leader was probably reluctant to give them away.

These thoughts went through Cheng Wan's mind quickly, and then Cheng Wan talked to Xu Zhinian and Chunwen about what they had experienced along the way, especially the group of bandits they met on the road.

Xu Zhinian and Chunwen looked at each other, "This... this is such a coincidence."

The two groups of them actually encountered the same group of bandits.
