After throwing the corpse into the river, the clothes that were stripped down had to be disposed of. The master and apprentice made some dead grass and branches nearby, and burned them with the fire they brought, and then mixed the ashes into the soil and buried them back.

A piece of gold was found in the ashes. After checking under the fire, I found that it was a twisted gold hairpin. It should be a stolen stolen hiding somewhere in the robe. Zhu Da did not find it when he searched, and he could not hide it after burning it.

"Just pretend that you don't have this thing, otherwise you will cause a big disaster!" Xiang Bo warned sternly, and hesitated for a moment and still put it in his arms. In various villages, even currency such as copper coins are rare things, let alone treasures like gold and silver. Zhu Da regrets throwing the silver bracelet into the river, thinking about whether it can be fished out.

The fire from burning clothes was not big, it burned very quickly and would not attract attention. Even so, the master and apprentice began to be extremely nervous, and after everything was done, they would immediately return to the village.

At this time, the sunset was reflected in the sky, and it was still bright everywhere, but the three of them were walking very fast, and there was no one in the open fields around them. After the bandits appeared, all the villagers only moved in the village one hour before dark, and no one dared to joke about their lives.

After the three of them entered the village, the villagers who were patrolling the night were already gathering in the village, most of whom were holding wooden guns, and there were few spearheads. Because they had experienced several night patrols, everyone was no longer so nervous, their expressions were very calm, and they even talked and laughed. Mr. Li stood by with a Park Knife, with a serious expression.

Seeing Zhu Da and the other three, General Li nodded and greeted him. Xiang Bo stopped and asked Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and others to walk over.

Did Xiang Bo change his mind and want to inform the officer about the bandits? Let General Li pass the news? Zhu Da looked at General Xiang and General Li whispering, and he was thinking about it.

After a while, Xiang Bo turned around, and couldn't say a few words of this skill. After meeting, he smiled and said, "Master has borrowed the face of his disciple this time, and Mr. Li agreed so happily!"

"Do you share the reward?" Zhou Qingyun asked carelessly.

"What do you think about is borrowing a horse!" Xiang Bo was in a good mood and scolded him with a smile.

There is only one horse in Baibao Village, which is the mount of General Banner Li. According to the villagers' arguments, General Banner Li Ji has always been extremely precious to this horse. He would rather treat his wife and son badly than treat the horse badly, let alone lend it. Of course, no one in Baibao Village is qualified to borrow it.

The master and apprentice took two steps, but Zhu Da reacted and asked in surprise: "Master, how can you actually ride a horse?"

"What's so strange about this? Xiang Bo would have ridden a long time ago." Zhou Qingyun felt that Zhu Da was fussing.

He knows martial arts on the battlefield, knows how to bow and horse, and has a lot of knowledge. Such a person is just a salt dealer in Baihu Village, which is too insignificant. Even if he is a servant or a guard, he will be much better than his current situation.

Xiang Bo seemed to know what Zhu Da was thinking, and said with no slightest smile: "The old man is not lucky. The one who taught me how to die too early, otherwise he could be a boss. If he is lucky, he can take another step..."

Zhu Da remembered that when he was in the army, a guard from the south taught him a lot of skills, but later this man died in battle, and there was no hope for everything. At this time, Xiang Bo smiled happily and seemed to not take it seriously. He probably thought too much and became happy.

When he returned to Xiang's family, Xiang Bo put half of the salt sales in Xiama Village and put it into the basket, and asked Zhu Da to take it home. If the twelve-year-old boy was really not able to see anything, but Zhu Da saw that his master's distribution was very biased towards his own family. With this care, he simply dragged Xiang Bo and Zhou Qingyun back to have dinner with him. The Xiang family had no refusal, so he arranged for Zhou Qingyun to go to the warehouse to cut a piece of bacon and headed for the Zhu family.

As soon as he entered his yard, his father Zhu Shitou, who was packing firewood, quickly came up to meet him. Xiang Bo smiled and pointed to the basket in Zhu Da's hand, and said, "The harvest was good today when I went to Xiama Village, this is yours."

Zhu Shitou obviously wanted to see what was in the basket, but he still held back and said with joy on his face: "Thanks to Brother Xiang, and thanks to Brother Xiang."

Xiang Bo and his father were talking about selling salt there, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were busy putting down the things in the basket to prepare for cooking. The master and apprentice had a tacit understanding. No one would say anything about murder. Judging from this, the girl Qin Qin either didn't wake up or didn't say it.

At the beginning, her mother Zhu Wangshi walked in and saw the things she had given, but Zhu Wangshi was not happy on her face, but she was a little worried. Zhou Qingyun was no longer an outsider to the Zhu family. She had no shyness and said in a low voice: "Xiaoda, whose daughter is from? Why are she wearing patched clothes, but there is a silk jacket inside. Not to mention the lady of a wealthy family, she has too much trouble."

Not every child can use silk as a lining, and for no reason, how can the children of wealthy families get lost? How can they be picked up in places like Baibao Village? If they are wronged or have any involvement, it will be a big trouble.

"I am a child from a scholar's family. Maybe my family was good before, but now I'm in decline." Zhu Da comforted him with a smile. He had a estimation of Qin Qin's family background, but now it looks even more than expected. When he saw the little girl's skin color and health, he knew that it was not something that ordinary people could have.

Since the bandit soldier went through a lot of trouble to tie Qin Qin, the girl's family must be of good condition. There must be some secrets I don't know now. The bandit soldier didn't say it, and Qin Qin wouldn't say it either.

The dinner was very lively, and Zhu Da’s parents were very happy. They saw the prosperity of selling salt, and they saw the hope of improving their lives, and even went to the next level. Eating and dressing well were not a luxury. How could they be unhappy? Xiang Bo and Zhu Da naturally would not tell the truth by the river. However, Zhou Qingyun's expression was always a little stiff, and he only ate there. This is actually no difference from usual.

What is surprising is that the girl Qin Qin, the little girl didn't even say anything, just came here when she was drowsy and then met Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun.

"You kid is just worried. You can bring back a girl when you go to the river to catch fish." Father Zhu Shitou complained with a smile, saying nothing else.

The Zhu couple liked Qin Qin very much and kept picking up food and adding rice. The girl was originally very wary of fish, but after taking a bite, her eyes shimmered and she ate a little more. Of course, Zhu Wang did clean up all the fish bones.

"It's so delicious. When I get home, let my father make it for me!" The atmosphere in the Zhu family was very good. Except for Xiang Bo, he looked a bit fierce, and no one looked like a bad person. Qin Qin felt safe. After a night of sleep, she was mentally numb, and she was talking and laughing there.

Seeing the girl cute, Zhu Wang's habitual jokes: "Qin Qin, is it good to stay in my house? Can you eat such delicious fish every day?"

There is no special meaning for women to say such words to children. Similar scenes are often said. No matter how the children answer, everyone laughed and went over. Before Qin Qin turned her eyes, she looked at the fish in the bowl first, then at Zhu Da, and said in embarrassment: "Aunt, I can't be a wife for Brother Zhu. My father said that I want to marry a scholar, at least I have to marry the eldest son of Qianhu family or something."

When the girl said this, the room was much quieter. Zhu Da's parents looked at each other and looked at Zhu Da again, but they were both holding back their smiles. Zhou Qingyun grinned, then lowered his head and forced himself to endure it.

Now the Zhu family also uses lights, and the room is bright. Looking at the girl who is not sure whether she is innocent or complicated, then looking at the expressions of the people around her, Zhu Da wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead with his hand.

"I have a lot of thoughts. Not only should I be the daughter-in-law of a thousand households, but also the daughter-in-law of a thousand households." Xiang Bo said very disdainful.

If the military officer of the garrison is not rewarded and punished, his position is hereditary, and his eldest son inherits the family business and becomes the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of Qianhu Family. That is to say, he will become the wife of Qianhu Family in the future. In Datong, this is a big part of the family business.

Although scholars in Datong are rare, in such a large town, there are only 300 households, and each of them is the best gentry. The mere scholars and the others still look down on them, so they sarcastically sarcastically sarcasticly.

But the girl couldn't hear the sarcasm in his tone, and she couldn't point it out if she understood it. She just laughed and laughed in the room. In fact, Zhu Da not only felt that being a wife was awkward, but "Brother Zhu" was not a good word either.

"Brother Xiang, should we go to the mountains again tomorrow? I will stock up on the colder days and cover the cave so that I will not be accidentally discovered by others." Zhu Shitou said.

Seeing the benefits of selling salt, Zhu Shitou became proactive. It was said that there was a cave that produced salt. However, there was no need to cover it up in front of a five-year-old girl, and she could not understand it anyway.

"No hurry, don't leave the village these days, wait until the peace is over!" Xiang Bo didn't say it too thoroughly, but Zhu Da understood.

Zhu Shitou was wrong and sighed and said with emotion: "God knows when this group of bandits will be tossed. God really deserves to hit these bastards by thunder!"

Xiang Bo and Zhu Da looked at each other, and Xiang Bo said in a muffled voice: "It is not convenient to have a girl in your house, so go to my place to sleep."

After dinner, Qin Qin, a girl who had been silent for a long time, interjected carefully and said, "Uncle and Aunt, when will I be able to take me home? I will not be at home for a few days. My father must be very anxious. It's scary to get angry."

How scary can a scholar get angry? Zhu Da smiled and said gently: "Wait for two more days, at the latest four days, and you will definitely be sent home. It is inconvenient now."

Perhaps because of seeing Zhu Da’s behavior by the river, the girl Qin Qin was lively, but in fact she was very awe of Zhu Da. When she heard him say this, she nodded timidly and didn’t say anything else.

"I will go to report the news tomorrow morning. You two stay in the village and prepare for your weapons. If you have any questions, you will ask someone to help. After a few days of patrol, Mr. Li will be reliable." On the way back to Xiang's home, Xiang Bo solemnly reminded him.

"Don't go fishing!"
