The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 27 Don’t be afraid, there are backup plans

After a while the bandits came out.

"The boss found some copper coins and two pounds of honey. There is also a donkey that is worth some money."

A little guy reported.

"If I don't have money, my trip will be in vain. Come here, give me the house, and go to other homes to look around.

Take away all the valuable things you can eat. "

The one-eyed dragon robbed everyone in the village and only got a hundred and ten taels of silver.

This was very different from his expectations.

In anger, he decided to rob everyone in the village.

Let your men go to each house to search for the previous things.

The villagers were now all anxious and wanted to rush out to protect their property.

But as soon as the commotion started, he was kicked to the ground by several fierce bandits, followed by a violent beating.

"If anyone dares to move again, I will really kill someone."

The one-eyed dragon chopped over the pot next to him with a knife and looked at everyone fiercely.

"Let them grab it, don't make them angry!" Wang Dayong helped maintain order.

Many people cried softly. Their only food was taken away by these bandits, and their lives would be even more difficult in the future. This would cost them their lives.

The bandits looted it and only got some grain and some livestock.

Fill the donkey cart and take it away directly.

Lin Hai and Qiaoer were listening to the villagers' cries not far from the village entrance.

Can only endure silently.

Lin Hai knew that he must not go out. If he went out, he would not be able to keep his family's money.

If these people were really attracted by Qi Bao and Qi Bao, they might take the opportunity to retaliate and kill him.

Not long after, I saw a group of bandits leaving the village on horseback.

There was also a donkey cart following behind.

Qiaoer felt very distressed when she saw her donkey cart being snatched away by bandits.

"Ms. sir, that's our donkey cart!"

"Don't say anything. Even if the donkey cart is gone, you can buy it later. Don't be discovered by these bandits."

Wait until all these bandits leave.

Take Qiaoer back to the village.

The village was already filled with cries.

Originally, each family had very little food stored, most of which was waiting for winter.

This time they were all taken away by bandits.

Seeing Lin Hai coming back, everyone gathered around him.

"Where have you been?"

"When the bandits come, you'll be the first to run away without calling us."

"The bandits have burned down your house. They want to see where you live."

Many people were resentful and disliked Lin Hai for not taking them away.

"After I called you, I immediately climbed over the wall and ran away. If I take you with me, no one can escape." Lin Hai said seriously.

"Anyway, it's your own fault. I'm sorry for the whole village."

Wang Dayong looked gloomy: "Don't blame Lin Hai, he would definitely not be able to take us with him at that time.

If only one can leave, what's the use of staying? "

"It's good for you if I leave. I'm not just trying to escape on my own." Lin Hai said.

"Stop making excuses, we don't believe it!" An old woman said with disgust on her face.

"I don't care if you don't believe it. These bandits are most likely caused by the Qi Hu brothers. And their target is me. If I stay, there will definitely be more serious consequences." Lin Hai said in a deep voice.

"Don't tell me, these bandits are really here for you. As soon as they arrived, they asked where you were and even searched your home.

They didn't find much money, so they burned down your house. Wang Dayong said quickly.

"You're right, it must be those two bastards Qi Hu and Qi Bao. Everyone in our village is here, why are they not here?

Normally anyone can run faster if they have a bargain, so it’s really strange not to come for dinner this time. Liu Ergou also said.

"Everyone, please be quiet. We have no evidence. Don't talk nonsense in the future. Just treat it as if we don't know anything and just do it as usual.

Wait until the evidence is found before dealing with them. "Lin Hai was worried that he would alert others, so he specifically reminded the people in the village.

"That makes sense, let's just pretend we don't know anything."

"But what should we do now? All our money and food have been stolen by bandits. How will we live in the future?" Someone squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

Life was already very difficult, and now it was even worse.

"You were all present at the time, are you sure you didn't find my family's money?" Lin Hai asked.

"That's not true. It was because I couldn't find the money that I burned down your house." Wang Dayong said.

"That's good. Don't worry, everyone, as long as the money is not stolen by bandits. When the fire is over, I will take out all the money I earned during this period.

Buy some grain and share it with everyone to make up for the loss. "

Lin Hai said.

Qiaoer was sad when she saw her home burned down by fire.

I heard that Lin Hai actually wanted to spend all his family's money to help the people in the village...

Even more unhappy, he quickly reached out and pulled Lin Hai's clothes.

Lin Hai touched Qiao'er's head and said, "Don't worry, you can make more money if you run out. But everyone in the village has to eat, and survival is the most important thing."

Qiaoer nodded obediently and approved Lin Hai's decision.

"Your house has been burned down. Why don't you live in my house? My house has three rooms and I will leave one room for you." Wang Dayong said.

"Then don't bother me. I will raise money to build the house as soon as possible. I will not bother you for the next few days."

"What are you talking about! We should help each other!"

Let all the villagers go home first and wait until the fire is finished the next day to find the money.

After everything was settled, Lin Hai called Wang Dayong and several others to come to the entrance of the village together.

Several people had puzzled faces.

"Why did you call us here?"

"When the bandits came, I ran out immediately. At that time, I analyzed that the two brothers Qi Hu and Qi Bao must have been their spies.

So I went to his house and took out all his money.

This money is enough to make up for the villagers' losses. Lin Hai said with a smile.

Several people were stunned after hearing this, and then became extremely ecstatic.

They all hugged Lin Hai and jumped up and down.

"You're so good, you actually thought of this method. Now the two brothers really stole the chicken but lost the rice. Instead of benefiting, they suffered a big loss."

"What does it mean to suffer a loss? They are so bad, so they should do this!"

"This is great. How much money did you find from their house?"

"I estimate there are about 400 taels. All the money they have plundered from the people over the years is here."

Lin Hai found the place where the money was buried and started digging.

Others also came to help.

All the money from the sale was quickly found.

I counted 400 taels of silver, which was just a lot more.

"Great. With this money, not only can all the losses be recovered, but also there will be a surplus." Wang Dayong said happily.
