He called himself to go to bed at home just to explain these words on the way. The range of activities of the bandits was larger than predicted, and the activities that the bandits had to do were unexpected. Killing the bandits by the river was just luck, and he had to hide in the village if he had to save the demons. The dozens of young and strong people in Baibao Village, and the green and strong people with wooden guns, were really a big trouble for the bandits.

Before going to bed, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun prepared very carefully, but they took off their outer robes and placed bows and arrows and weapons at any time. Xiang Bobi and the others were even more cautious and arranged several places at the front of the door wall. It would be easy for someone to make a noise.

The night patrol outside had already begun. Listening to the sound of the clapper, the fatigue of the day rose, and Zhu Da's consciousness began to blur. Zhou Qingyun beside him had already fallen asleep. I wonder if he would have nightmares at night. Zhu Da thought about it and fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhu Da was awakened by the movement of Xiang Bo getting up. After waking up, he was a little puzzled. He slept very heavily that night and had no dreams at all. Looking at Zhou Qingyun next to him, he looked full of energy and recovered after he had enough sleep.

The weapons and dry food were sorted out last night. Xiang Bo picked it up and left. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were sent to the gate of the yard. This was the daily etiquette. Just as she was about to turn around, Xiang Bo stopped and turned around and said, "I will accept you as an apprentice. The old man is lucky!"

"Master is having a good journey!" Zhu Da did not answer this sentence.

At this moment, there was only a faint light in the east horizon, and the rest of the place was still dark, and the fires in the village were about to be extinguished. The villagers who were patrolling the night were all listless, getting colder, and the patrolling the night was getting harder and harder. This night was difficult.

Zhu Da suddenly felt nervous when he saw these. If the bandits suddenly entered at this most relaxed time, even if the number of villagers still had an advantage and the wooden gun in his hand was killed, the result would probably be very tragic. The more he thought about it, he became more and more nervous, thinking about whether he would give a few reminders, but Zhu Da did not do this in the end. After careful consideration, he felt that if the bandits had such a judgment and organization, they would probably not be here, plundering poor villages and kidnapping the daughter of the Xiucai family. Such a struggle is extremely dangerous. The cavalry in the ward is not easy to match, and the profits are very small. What wealth can the salt dealers and the hundred households have?

The bandits with such a narrow structure will not have any strategy or decision. Even if they have the intention of taking risks, Baibao Village is not a good target now. Although the people who patrol the night are tired, the patrols in other places are lazy and there is even no teams in patrols, so it is better to start.

Xiang Bo rode a horse out of the village and was seen by many people, "Uncle Li and Lao Xiang are wearing pairs of pants!" "It's all about Zhu Da's credit. Now Mr. Li's two children are playing with Zhu Da." There was a lot of discussion. They didn't guess Xiang Bo's intention to borrow a horse, but they just felt that Xiang Bo and Li Zongqi were close.

When Xiang Bo left on a horse, Zhou Qingyun immediately prepared to go back to sleep. Of course, Zhu Da would not let him do what he wanted. He directly grabbed him to cook and then practiced martial arts. After experiencing these things, Zhou Qingyun became more and more obedient to Zhu Da, but it was inevitable that he would be nagging.

"You are not here, you are more strict than you do."

No matter how much I think about it, when I was practicing martial arts, Zhou Qingyun did not relax at all. Zhu Da noticed that he was much more serious than yesterday than before. Zhou Qingyun was very tired of practicing swords, but today it was completely different. Zhu Da thought about it and found the reason. Yesterday, when Zhou Qingyun fought by the river, he used a short stick as a knife, and the one move of the Arhat Six Swords was effective.

The practical application of what you have learned, and the practical application of the skills you have learned, and have good results. This is the best encouragement. No matter how boring you study and practice, you will make people feel energetic.

At noon, his mother, Zhu Wang, came to see him, but asked Zhu Da to go back to cook. Originally, Zhu Da's parents thought that the girl Qin Qin had two meals, but they never thought that Qin Qin was shouting hungry as soon as noon approached. If it were left in the past, they would ignore it. However, Zhu Da reminded that the girl should be treated as a guest and had done good deeds, so it would not be a good thing to make it unpleasant because of trivial matters.

I simply ate lunch at home, and Zhu Da’s parents could only eat it with me, which made Zhu Da very happy. Qin Qin liked to eat fish very much, but was very dissatisfied with the Zhu family’s mixed grains and dried food. She ate it with a few bites and then put it down.

This performance gave Zhu Da a new judgment on Qin Qin's family background. No matter how clever and intelligent a five-year-old girl is, she still has no self-control. Now she is relaxing and her eating habits should be a manifestation on weekdays. In this era of boyishness over girls, the scholar who has lost his family can actually make a five-year-old girl wear silk and eat three meals, and she is used to fine grains. This is not right. No wonder the thief has to kidnap the ticket after much trouble. There must be an inside story immediately.

However, Zhu Da was not going to investigate this matter in depth. When Qin Qin was sent home, it would be fine. After all, it was not for the sake of saving the girl at risk, but for his own conscience.

About an hour after lunch, Zhu Da, who was practicing martial arts, suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and it was not a horse. There were also people in the village who were rushing during the day. If there was no sound of a clapper, it would be not dangerous. But the dogs in the village were barking at this time, which means that a stranger was coming.

The sound of horse hooves has gone far and away, as if these horses were walking around the village and then stopped somewhere in the village. After a while, someone knocked on the clapper and started shouting: "The old and young men in the village go to the drying yard. If you have important things to say, don't delay, so as not to complain about something."

Hearing that it was Li He who was shouting, Zhu Da opened the yard gate and shouted: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Da's inquiry made Li He widen his eyes and asked back, "Uncle Xiang summoned everyone, why don't you know?"

It was actually Xiang Bo who called him. Could it be that he was the one who was riding a horse and wandering around just now, and he didn't enter the house first? Zhu Da was puzzled and did not dare to delay. He called Zhou Qingyun, who was also puzzled, quickly walked out of the yard.

There were already many people on the drying ground. It was fine if there were no one who patroled the night. Those patrolers looked bad and muttered, probably not good things. Zhu Da saw the people in the head. Mr. Li stood with Xiang Bo with a calm face, but the three strong men stood in the main position. They all rode horses. The mounts of these three were much stronger than Mr. Li. Needless to say, they had complete horse harnesses and saddles.

These three people were dressed up in a strong outfit. At first glance, they thought they were the servants of the guards in the garrison, but they were not. Compared with those frivolous and arrogant servants, these three were more gloomy and fierce. Most of the villagers in the scanners were seen by them, they looked down and dared not look at each other. They were really evil. One of them had a bow bag and an arrow bag hanging on the saddle of the horse. The three of them were all wearing swords. The bows and arrows and swords were all in the style of the army, but the maintenance and cleaning were much more detailed than the servants.

Moreover, they are older, and they look like they are in their thirties and forties. The tops are covered with leather and their feet are covered with leather boots. The leather around their upper body can ensure that the cold wind is blocked when riding a horse. In order to look good, the guards of the guards are wearing fine-textured cotton jackets. They look decent and may not be able to block the wind in this weather.

After a while, all the men in the village arrived. Mr. Li went over and told him, and the man standing among them took a step forward and said loudly: "Friends, we have important things to do today. From now on, until the three of us left, no one was allowed to leave the village."

As soon as the words were finished, the villagers below became turbulent. Seeing that Mr. Li was standing by, everyone dared not act too rashly. "It's going to be on night tonight, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and they have to go out to shoot grass." Only such a nagging came out.

"We won't delay too long. Whoever dares to go out? The knife in my hand will drink blood!" The man's voice raised a little. His tone was not very strict, but the villagers immediately calmed down.

Mr. Li looked not very good-looking, turned his head to the Bo and muttered a few words, and stepped forward and said, "Everyone is not unhappy. It will take only a few days to delay. I will rush back and go back to rest!"

When Xiang Bo stepped forward, the villagers' emotions were somewhat relieved. Of course, the man's threatening words scared everyone. He came up and said that he was bleeding from the knife. The people of Baibao Village, who had never seen the world, had never experienced this.

After the villagers dispersed, Xiang Bo directly called Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to the front, but there was no intention of introducing and introducing them. He directly dragged two people to help with work. These three men were so majestic but did not go to Li Zongqi's house to rest. They went to the roof of a house in the village alone. His mount was outside the courtyard of this house, and the other two went to Xiang Bo's house. Zhu Da could see clearly that the person on the roof was to monitor whether the people in the village were going out.

Horses need to eat grass, people need to eat, but people are not a small amount of fodder and grain needed by horses. Xiang Bo gave Zhu Da and the others the job was to collect horse materials in Baibao Village.

If it were the cavalry of the guards of the garrison, the whole village would now be assigned to collect the whole village. Every family would be men scolding women and crying, and they would not dare to make too loud noises. Although these three knights had already conquered the whole village, they took out their things to exchange them, and they were real hard currency - Xiang Bo's salt.

Xiang Bo gave a rough ratio of how much forage and grain to exchange for a pound of salt. Even if Zhu Da didn't know much about the market, he knew that the ratio was very favorable and each family was willing to exchange it. The two of them went from house to house to discuss the conditions. The villagers who were disgusted immediately became enthusiastic and took the things they wanted to exchange in front of Xiang's house according to the rules notified by Zhu Da and his two people.

Everyone has food in their hands, but there is not much forage, and Mr. Li’s family still produces a large portion of it. The salt will basically not rot, and the price will also rise around the Spring Festival. Take this opportunity to change more.

Because of this discount, after everyone sent the food and forage, they were willing to deal with it as required. For example, the forage should not contain any debris, and they had to be chopped and even cooked, which saved Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun a lot of effort.

Zhu Da knew that Xiang Bo was not losing money, because the man gave him the money directly. He also noticed that Xiang Bo, who was strong, was very polite to these people, and even had a little awe.
