My parents are omnipotent

Chapter 29 The Rebels Arrest Ding
After finally surviving the Chinese New Year tremblingly, the villagers were preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner as much as possible, and the rebellious soldiers who arrested the young men came again.

Ye Anlan, who had never let down her vigilance, ran from the entrance to the end of the village, shouting at the top of her voice, "The rebels are here to catch the young man—the rebel army is here to catch the young man—"

"Yuan Niang!" Before she ran into the house, Ye Jinkui had already hugged a daughter in one hand, and hurried out of the house together with his wife, son and Zheng Fengshou.

Ye Anlan nodded slightly at him, "Father, it's too late to say more, we have to go up the mountain to avoid it."

Mrs. Li was being dragged by her son, but her eyes remained on her daughter, "Thank you, Yuan Niang."

Before Ye Anlan said that she wanted to go out for a walk, Li Shi even teased her, saying that even refugees and rebels would celebrate the New Year, so they definitely wouldn't come to the village at this juncture.

She never dreamed that the slap in the face would come faster than the tornado. It hadn't been half an hour since she said this, and her daughter had already rushed back to report the news.

The whole family didn't even lock the door, carrying food, bedding, bows and arrows, long knives, and food boxes, and hurried directly to the hidden cave that Ye Anlan had discovered before.

There are two entrances and exits in the cave, one of which is blocked by a boulder, and there is only a very narrow gap behind the boulder to pass through, and there is a rather thick big tree growing about two or three steps away from the gap. Yang Shu, if outsiders don't get close and adjust the angle, they won't be able to see the entrance at all.

As for the other entrance and exit, if you look up from the big poplar tree, you can see the old elm tree halfway up the mountain that needs three people to hug each other.

The other entrance and exit of this cave is at the root of this old elm tree. It is a hole with a narrow top and a wide bottom that has been dug out from the bottom by an unknown animal.

When Ye Anlan chose this place, the plan was that if the entrance and exit below were discovered, they would block the entrance below with stones, and then grab the rope prepared in advance and quietly climb out from the old elm tree.

There are trees in the mountains to cover them, so if they just want to escape, it is not a problem.

"Thanks to us not being lazy, things are packed every day." While climbing the mountain panting, Li sighed in a low voice—if they hadn't been mentally prepared to run away at any time, they wouldn't have carried them so quickly. Stuff rushed out of the house.

Ye Jinkui supported Li's arm and helped her bear part of her body weight, "I don't know if everyone in the village has come out now."

Ye Anlan was at the end of the line, and she looked back at the messy village, "Not yet."

Ever since Lao Lizheng took the initiative to abdicate and Xinli Zhengzheng tried his best to defeat the competitors and climb up to the position of head of the village, the village gradually became chaotic.

Xinli didn't have enough prestige in the first place, and the quarrel between the loser and Xin Lizheng continued, and he was always dragging him back in the open and in the dark. Under such circumstances, some villagers would inevitably obey Xinlizheng's instructions.

"Oh," Ye Jinkui sighed, "I hope those rebels will come later."

Ye Anlan thought, this is not what they hoped to achieve.

She sent Ye Jinkui and the others to the cave, and then moved stones to block the entrance below, "Father, Erlang, you stay here to protect mother and sister, Feng and I will go up and have a look."

The two grabbed the rope and climbed to the root of the old elm tree, and then under the cover of the old elm tree, they quietly looked at Xiaohezhuang down the mountain.

Xiaohezhuang was in chaos at this time. Although the vast majority of the villagers had already run up the mountain, a small number of villagers were directly blocked in their homes by the rioters who broke into the village because they were reluctant to part with the food or other things at home.

Because of the distance, Ye Anlan couldn't see the specific situation in the village clearly. She could only judge whether their "war results" were fruitful based on the length of the team and the number of people when the rebels left.

***
Ye Anlan took Zheng Fengshou to observe behind the old elm tree for almost an hour, and those rebels finally left willingly.

They escorted several carts of "trophies" they had looted from Xiaohezhuang, and drove away nearly [-] strong men who were unfortunately caught, and left Xiaohezhuang in a mighty way.

Ye Anlan rubbed her frozen fingers, and Zheng Fengshou pulled the rope back to the bottom of the cave, "Father, mother, those rebels have withdrawn, but we won't be able to go back to the village for a while."

After all, no one knows if those guys will make a comeback.

Mrs. Li sighed, "If you can't go back, you can't go back, at least our family is still neat and tidy."

Ye Jinkui said: "I want to go back to the village to have a look, and I don't know if Lao Lizheng and the others are busy."

Lao Li is getting old, and he usually avoids rebels, so he never goes up the mountain.Although at his age, those rebellious soldiers would definitely not take him away to pretend to be a strong man, but if any rebel soldier casually stabs him
In addition, there are still a few of his friends who are close to Ye Jinkui in the village, so Ye Jinkui really can't rest assured if he doesn't go back and have a look.

"I'll go with you." Ye Jinkui was an honest man, and Ye Anlan was worried about letting him go back to the village alone at this juncture.

Ye Jinkui didn't stop her either, "Then why don't you go to Su's house later, it's not convenient for your mother to go down the mountain, so help her to see Xiaohe and the others."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li hurried over with a bag of dried meat and a bag of fried rice, "It's already this time, you should eat something before going down the mountain."

The reunion dinner that was agreed was not completed because of avoiding the chaos. Now Ye Jinkui and Ye Anlan are going to leave again. I don’t know how long it will be until they come back. The only thing Li can do is to give them something to eat first. .

***
Ye Jinkui and his daughter stayed in the village until the sun went down, and then hurried back to the mountain.

After washing his hands and face with hot water, Ye Jinkui began to report the situation to his family.

"Uncle Lizheng and Huzi are fine, it's just that a small part of the things in the house were taken away by the rebels."

"Aunt Chen was pushed and shoved by the rebels, hit the wall and was slightly injured. I have already hired a doctor for her and paid for the consultation and medicine."

"Xiaohe's uncle broke his leg when he was running up the mountain, and his second and third uncles were taken away by the rebels. Mrs. Su got angry and fell ill together."

"What's more, Liu Feng's family was also taken away by the rebel army."

Li was shocked, "Xiaohe's house is so close to the end of the village, how could her uncles do that?"

Ye Jinkui sighed, "They are reluctant to part with those things at home. Mrs. Su urged them to leave quickly, but they insisted on stuffing all the food, chickens and ducks at home on the cart. This delay means that time is too late .”

Mrs. Li asked again: "Is this also the reason for the old Liu's family?"
