Chapter 61
Shen Yuexi looked out through the window, and saw a group of villagers standing in the small yard, yelling at Yang Cong's room.

"Onion, come out!"

"Lizheng, I saw clearly last night that the onion really came back."

The speaker was explaining to an old man in his fifties:
"The Xirong people who captured her must have been killed by that girl, and now they ran back to the village. We are all in bad luck."

Someone frowned worriedly, not knowing what to do with a bitter face.

Here in the frontier, the hidden dangers of Xirong have made the people of Xiaogang Village miserable.

"That's right, if Lizheng wants to catch Onion, our whole village will suffer, so we should hurry up and hand him over!"

"absurd!"

This cold voice came from Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo walked out of the room facing the light, and he strode over, his eyes were full of brilliance, as if he came from that brilliance.

The people in the village had never seen such an outstanding person, and they were stunned for a moment.

They came to look for Yang Cong, but they did not expect such an outstanding man to come out.

A shriveled-looking woman who looked particularly mean snorted.

"Hey, who am I talking about? I didn't expect that stinky girl to be lucky enough to kidnap a handsome son back." She curled her lips, "I don't know if she can support a living person."

With a bang, Yang Cong came out of the room. The door was kicked open by her. She put her hips on her hips and said loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about! This is my savior."

As soon as this was mentioned, she became angry, and she used her as an animal handler since she was a child, and she did all the housework. In the end, she hated eating too much, and no one wanted her, so she was driven out of the house.

She could understand it at first, but she didn't expect that now she would speak ill of her benefactor again.

Yang Cong looked coldly at the mean woman in front of him, his dark face showed determination.At this time, Shen Yuexi came to her side and patted her on the shoulder to show her support.

Yang Cong turned around and gave her a smiling face: "I'm fine."

Then Yang Cong said to the surrounding villagers: "That's right, those Xirong soldiers have been killed by us."

The crowd exploded with a bang.

"Really kill the Xirong people, we are going to be finished!"

"The army of Xirong is coming!"

Yang Cong's mother was even more shocked, she patted her legs and said, "What should I do?"

Shen Yuexi hurriedly pulled Yang Cong to the side, leaving Xiao Zhuo to deal with it.

"Even if you hand over your people, you won't be spared. Xirong is a wicked place. To Dayan, this place is remote and poorly managed, but to Xirong, it is a fertile and precious land. At this time, everyone can live on in the world. , It’s just that Xi Rong is raising his troops, and when the time is right, this place will still be unable to escape the consequences of being trampled by Xi Rong. At that time, it will not be a fate that you can control, so why not take advantage of this rainy day to plan, I don’t know if you have any opinions?”

The villagers in Xiaogang Village are a bunch of mud legs, so there is no high opinion.After hearing Xiao Zhuo's words, the noisy courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the crowd began to whisper.

With Xiao Zhuo's words, all the problems that Xiaogang Village has been facing for a long time have been said at once.

In the past, the people in Xiaogang Village only thought that those Xirong people would come to plunder, and as long as they didn't resist, they could save their lives. Now that Xiao Zhuo said so, they knew the original Xirong's true thoughts.

This is raising them as pigs and slaughtering them when they grow fat.

Today's Xiaogang Village is still barren, and even drinking water is very difficult, and some people have left the village one after another.

Rizheng waved his hand, motioning everyone to listen to him.Then he sighed and said:

"This son is right, but we are all ordinary people. Once the Xirong army arrives, we will have nothing to do but wait to die."

Shen Yuexi interrupted: "Since you can't resist, why don't you leave here and find another way to make a living in the pass?"

Li Zheng smiled wryly and said: "Those who wanted to leave had already left. The rest of them were determined not to leave. Our ancestors have always been here. If we want us to leave our land, we might as well kill us."

As long as the annual harvest does not encounter extreme weather, it can still support a family. After all, there is no need to pay government taxes here.

Only then did Shen Yuexi understand that these people were guarding the land of their ancestors and refused to leave.

Li Zheng glanced at Xiao Zhuo and asked, "I don't know this young master..."

"Young Master Pei," Yang Cong introduced from the side.

Li Zheng looked at Xiao Zhuo and nodded: "So it's Mr. Pei."

Shen Yuexi looked at Lizheng, she looked about 50 years old, and in this place where the medical conditions are extremely backward, it is considered a long life.

Li Zheng bowed his hands to Xiao Zhuo: "Young Master Pei, do you have any suggestions?"

Xiao Zhuo stood in the crowd, wearing a sky blue gown, his handsome face was extraordinarily cool under the sunlight.

"Every time the Xirong people come here, they always break in from a small path between the two mountains. As long as they block that place, there will be no worries here for the time being."

Xiao Zhuo's voice became clearer and deeper, which strangely calmed people down.

Only then did Shen Yuexi remember that when she and Yang Cong were busy cleaning up the house, Xiao Zhuo disappeared for a while, and when she came back, she carried pheasants and hares, and it turned out that she was going to inspect the nearby terrain.

After hearing this, the villagers knew that what Xiao Zhuo said was to block off that place before Xirong came.

Li was frowning, a little worried.

Xiao Zhuo looked at Li Zheng, and asked unhurriedly: "Is there any unspeakable secret in Li Zheng?"

"Don't hide from Mr. Pei, no one dares to go there." Li Zheng showed a sad face.

It's not that they haven't thought of this method, but it's extremely dangerous there, and the opposite is the territory of Xirong, which is easy to be spotted by the patrolling Xirong army.

Once found it will be killed.

Xiao Zhuo put his hands behind his back, and his voice was low but powerful: "I will bear it with all my strength, so you don't have to feel embarrassed."

Shen Yuexi knew that Xiao Zhuo was only temporarily appeasing the fear of the villagers.Since Xiao Zhuo said that his confidantes would come over in a few days, it must have been made some arrangements.

Now we have to get through these few days.

Although these villagers were frightened by the Xirong people, it didn't mean that no one hated Xirong.

There is no one who would not like someone to solve their problems for them.

Soon the villagers reached a consensus.

"Since Mr. Pei has said this, why should I not?" Li was stroking his beard, "But how can Mr. Pei guarantee that you can do it?"

Xiao Zhuo didn't reply to his words, but Yang Cong who was at the side said triumphantly: "Li Zheng, you don't know, Mr. Pei is very powerful, those five Xirong people were all killed by Mr. Pei."

The way Lizheng and the villagers looked at Xiao Zhuo suddenly changed. This was the first time in many years that they heard that someone dared to kill Xirong people.

Xiao Zhuo turned around and walked to Shen Yuexi, took her hand and walked into the room.Leave it to Yang Cong to deal with it.

"How long will it take for your people to come?" Shen Yuexi worried that people from Xirong would come here before they came.

"Two or three days later." Xiao Zhuo pulled her to sit down, then took out a wooden comb with lost teeth from his bosom, and combed her hair.

There was no mirror, and she couldn't see what was happening to her hair.

At this time, she remembered that when she woke up in the morning, she heard the sound outside, and she left the room without even having time to fix her hair.

It must have been ugly just now.

Xiao Zhuo is extremely upright in his work, I'm afraid he can't stand her disheveled hair.

Xiao Zhuo seemed to be aware of Shen Yuexi's thoughts, he said lightly: "No."

Shen Yuexi turned to look at him in surprise.

His eyes were extremely serious, and the hand holding the comb was extremely gentle. Shen Yuexi didn't feel the pain of being pulled to the scalp.

Seeing his extremely proficient appearance, she half-joked: "I didn't expect my husband's craftsmanship to be quite good. He used to comb women's hair a lot, didn't he?"

Shen Yuexi really didn't know Xiao Zhuo before.

"No, you are the first." Xiao Zhuo's voice was deep and mellow.

Her heart skipped a beat, she curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
