When the Cheng family started to sleep, it was still raining heavily outside.

Everyone fell asleep to the sound of rain. When they woke up, the rain had stopped.

The sun has risen again, and the air is filled with freshness after the rain.

"Oh, it rained really hard yesterday, but fortunately it has stopped. The road is full of mud, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk. Let's wait until the sun dries up the road before we set off. "

Mrs. Wang was busy making breakfast when she heard Mrs. Lin's words and echoed with a smile: "Sun Poison, I guess it only takes half a day to get on the road."

"Daping, go to your Grandma Zhang's house, Grandma Song's house, and Dr. Wei's house, and tell them that there is no need to rush to pack your things. Our family will tell them in advance when we are going to leave."

Cheng Daping was leading Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong to take the horses out of the house.

The sun is out, so I have to dry the horse's hair.

Cheng Daping tied the horse's reins to a pillar of the shed and replied: "I understand, grandma, I'll go right away."

The breakfast was naturally not as rich as last night's meal.

I only made a large pot of rice soup and fried a large pile of egg pancakes.

This meal was very simple for Xu Zhinian, but Xu Zhinian enjoyed it very much.

Xu Zhinian had a mouthful of egg pancakes and a mouthful of rice soup. Except for his sitting posture and chewing, which were more graceful than those of Mrs. Lin and others, Xu Zhinian was not much different from Mrs. Lin and others.

After breakfast, everyone started working on their own.

Making steamed buns and pancakes, doing laundry, packing luggage...

It's all work.

"Sister, there are many people outside."

Cheng Xiaoyu ran into the house in a hurry, followed by followers Cheng Hua and Li Yuan.

Cheng Wan was packing things with Xu Zhinian and Chunwen. When she heard what Cheng Xiaoyu said, she knew in her heart that it must be the women in the village.

Cheng Wan's guess was good, but the visitors were not just the women in the village, but also the children in the village.

Cheng Wan walked out of the house quickly. As soon as he appeared, the woman surnamed Liu pointed at Cheng Wan and introduced her to the others excitedly: "This is the benefactor who killed those bandits and saved us. Everyone, come here quickly." Thank you benefactor!”

The women immediately gathered around, holding their children in their hands.

"Benefactor, thank you, thank you..."

"If it weren't for you, we don't know if we would ever end that kind of life that would be worse than death!"

"Benefactor, thank you for saving my child. You are a great kindness. I will kneel down and kowtow to you!"

"Daughter, hurry up, kneel down and kowtow to your benefactor. Thank you!"

……

Everyone is very excited. You say something and I say something.

Cheng Wan helped this person up, and the other one knelt down again.

Mrs. Lin and the others stood on the outside, unable to squeeze in.

"Stop! Stop!"

Cheng Wan bent down and pulled the stool aside and stepped on it.

"Everyone, get up! Don't kneel!"

The women were frightened by Cheng Wan's stern expression. You looked at me, I looked at you, and helped each other stand up from the ground.

Cheng Wan took a breath, looked around at the women and children, and said loudly: "I have received all your thanks, and I just happened to kill those bandits. In fact, I think the one you should thank the most is yourselves. Your strength, bravery and maternal love have supported you to survive, so that you can wait for me, a passer-by."

"You are all great, and so are the children. Everyone should live well in the future, and we should all live well!"

Xu Zhinian, who was standing outside, looked up at Cheng Wan, his eyes full of admiration and affection.

"Chunwen, Ah Wan is the most lovable girl I have ever seen."

Chunwen pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Young lady and Miss Cheng are both attractive girls."

There were faint sobs among the women.

Cheng Wan actually had worries in her heart. She looked at these women and children and asked warmly: "Do you have any plans for the future? Should you continue to live in the village, or go to seek refuge with your relatives? Or simply change your life in another place?" ?”

The bandit leader was related to the county magistrate, and now the bandit leader is dead.

Although the bandit leader died dozens of kilometers away, all the bandits in the village were also dead. Who knows if the dog magistrate would be angry with the poor people in the village because of the bandit leader.

The superior's anger is always unreasonable.

These women all felt the concern in Cheng Wan's words.

After experiencing those pains, they are very sensitive to whether the kindness of others is true or false.

The face of the woman surnamed Liu showed a clear and vicissitudes of life. She pursed her lips tightly and then said, "We have discussed it. We will take the children back to their parents' homes to check the situation."

She smiled bitterly and said, "The villages a little closer to here were all robbed by that group of bandits. The natal families of most of us were probably affected. It's just that the bandits didn't arrest the women from other villages. .”

"Everyone has been robbed by bandits. To put it bluntly, no one should dislike anyone."

This is a cruel statement, but very realistic.

A few women secretly wiped away their tears.

"You don't have to worry about us, let alone the dog officer who might cause trouble for us."

"You have saved us once, what will happen in the future depends on our own efforts and our lives. Moreover,"

The woman surnamed Liu smiled and continued: "Those bandits have saved a lot of food and gold and silver treasures, most of which they brought with them when they came. From the money they brought, we paid per head per head. We took some, which is enough for us to spend for the rest of our lives. Regardless of other considerations, with this money, our future life may be much more comfortable than before."

As she spoke, the woman surnamed Liu waved back.

"Quick, get everything we prepared for our benefactor."

Cheng Wan looked suspiciously at a woman who was taking a bundle off her shoulders.

The next second, her eyes widened in shock.

After the baggage was opened, it was filled with gold and silver treasures.

The woman holding the baggage said sheepishly: "We stayed up all night last night to sort out the gold and silver treasures of that group of bandits. How many things that group of bandits robbed from the surrounding villages, we were probably thinking There are a lot of things, but we haven't touched that part. We have also set aside another part, thinking that it will not be easy for them to give more money to each family who was robbed by the bandits."

She looked down at the things in her arms, then raised her head and smiled at Cheng Wan.

"We each took some from what was left, and the rest is here."

The woman next to her nervously explained: "Don't blame us for being greedy. These children...the children are still young. We thought we should prepare more money for them so that their lives will be smoother in the future."

Cheng Wan felt sour in her heart. She pinched her nose to suppress the astringent feeling.

"You don't have to give me these. Just divide them up. There will be a long time ahead."

Since there was no noise in the yard at the moment, there was only the sound of Cheng Wan and a few women talking, so Mrs. Lin and the others stood outside and heard what Cheng Wan and these women were talking about.

In the past, if someone offered money to her doorstep, Mrs. Lin would not be polite and would directly accept the money.

That's money. It's been delivered to your door. Why don't you want it? !

But at this time, Mrs. Lin only felt sour in her heart. She had no desire at all for the money these women brought to her door. She and Cheng Wan came to an agreement.

Take it back, divide these things, and live well in the future.
