Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

The panicked shouts instantly caused panic among the villagers.

Some older people hid at home one after another, for fear of being caught by bandits.

Under the leadership of the village chief, the men picked up their business and hurriedly guarded the entrance of the village.

They vowed to protect their homeland, even if they risked their lives, they would never let the bandits hurt their wives and children!

Under the leadership of Ma Guihua, the village women tied Lan Lian, Han Ruoshui, and Aunt Wu and their daughter-in-law to the entrance of the village.

They are the closest people to Lin Xiao and Lin Xiaowu, and it is most appropriate to use them to frighten Lin Xiao and the bandits.

Ma Guihua pulled the village head aside and asked about the situation in a low voice:
"Old man, what's the matter? Why did Xiao Linzi rebel?"

The village chief shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Who knows! I heard from them that the bandits were brought down by Xiao Linzi and the others, so what else could it be if they weren't mutiny? Could it be that Xiao Linzi persuaded those murderous bandits to surrender?"

Ma Guihua curled her mouth:
"If bandits can be persuaded to surrender so easily, are they still bandits?"

The village chief sighed and shook his head:

"We can only take one step at a time. If necessary, those women must be killed!"

Ma Guihua nodded:

"Don't worry, old man, I will take care of this!"

The eyes of the couple were full of fierceness.

Now it has come to the critical moment of life and death, there is no tolerance for the kindness of a woman!
Lin Xiao and the others had no idea that the people in the village would be ready to welcome them.

When they came to the entrance of the village, they were a little dumbfounded when they saw the villagers standing at the entrance of the village full of holding things.

Especially when they saw Lan Lian, Aunt Wu and others who were being tied up by five flowers, their faces suddenly became extremely gloomy!
Seeing Lin Xiao, Han Ruoshui immediately shouted with a mournful face:
"Master, save me!"

"What are you doing? Let them go!"

Lin Xiao roared at the villagers.

She didn't know what was going on, why did she become like this in one night?
The villagers ignored Lin Xiao.

The village head stood up, looked at Lin Xiao coldly and said:
"Xiao Linzi, let me ask you, are those people behind you bandits?"

"Yes, but they..."

"Just admit it! Tell me, what did you bring the bandits into the village for?!"

Before the village head waited for Lin Xiao to finish speaking, he interrupted her.

"I'll take them down the mountain to live a normal life! They don't want to be bandits anymore!"

Lin Xiao explained loudly that she hoped to make everyone believe what she said, but the village chief didn't believe it:
"Nonsense! Bandits want to live a normal life, first of all, they have to pay all the taxes and compensation they have evaded over the years. This is not a small fee, do they have the money to pay?"

Lin Xiao was speechless.

The village head continued to ask:
"Besides, as bandits, which one of them has no human life in their hands? They want to live a normal life, and those who died in their hands can be resurrected? I think you are a scourge, you little bastard!"

The words of the village chief became more and more ugly, and the bandits all lowered their heads when they heard it, and said to Gao Jin aggrievedly:

"Brother, we have been bandits all these years, and we have never killed anyone. At most, we just scare them, that's all, you know all about it!"

Gao Jin didn't inherit the original owner's memory, so how could he know this.

But seeing that these bandits were so wronged, they didn't look like they were lying, Gao Jin's heart softened, he coughed lightly and said:

"I know, I'll take care of this."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Lin Xiao, and said to her:

"I believe what they said, we only want money and not life! And as far as I know, what we eat is rice bran with bran. Which real bandit is not a big fish?"

Lin Xiao nodded:
"I see."

After all, Lin Xiao shifted his gaze to the village head:

"As the saying goes, if a prodigal son turns back, he will not give you money. It is their last resort to become bandits. Why can't we give them a chance to reform themselves?"

Lin Xiao knew that she was a bitch when she said this, but she didn't think she was wrong.

No matter which era you are in, it is an eternal truth to stay on the front line and meet each other in the future.

If this group of bandits who wanted to return to normal life were really forced to their death, these bandits would definitely retaliate against them at all costs, even massacring the village is not impossible!

When the village chief and the villagers heard these words, they fell silent.

The village chief didn't know how to refute.

"I will personally pay taxes and fines for them. They will all work in my new salt workshop in the future. I hope you will treat them equally. If you have a choice, no one wants to be a bandit!"

Lin Xiao's voice was not loud, but powerful.

The village chief was stunned:
"I promise you"

The village chief knew that Lin Xiao was a man of his word, and he also clearly understood that if Lin Xiao hadn't led the whole village to make salt and sell salt to earn extra money, they would all be taxed heavily in a few years. Forced to become a bandit!
The village chief had spoken, and the villagers naturally did not dare to tie up Lan Lian and the others, so they hurriedly untied them.

They are not idiots, and they know the consequences of confronting bandits head-on.

Gao Jin and his party of more than [-] people all temporarily settled down at Lin Xiao's house.

The bandits who tied Lan Lian and Han Ruoshui to the table back then apologized to them with shame on their faces.

Han Ruoshui was so frightened that she hid behind Lan Lian, but Lan Lian waved her hands generously to show that she didn't care.

Then get into the kitchen and get busy.

Today she has a heavy task, and has to cook meals for 30 people.

Yu Xilin saw the courtyard full of people, and heard Lin Xiaowu say that Lin Xiao had persuaded the bandits to surrender, so he recovered from his bewilderment.

After he persuaded the village chief, he has been waiting at home for Lin Xiao to come back.

He waited until early in the morning, and he fell asleep in a daze because he couldn't hold on anymore.

Unexpectedly, halfway through his sleep, he heard hurried footsteps, and thought it was Lin Xiao who had returned, but who knew that his door was locked from the outside by someone.

He was extremely anxious and thought of many ways, and just when he was deciding to turn out the window, he heard someone outside the house shouting, "Xiao Linzi has brought bandits into the village."

He felt the world spinning.

How could such a righteous person like Lin Xiao betray?
Should not be!

He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason.

He didn't know the truth of the matter until the door of his room was opened, he saw people all over the yard, and he heard Lin Xiaowu's explanation.

He hugged Lin Xiao excitedly:

"Xiao Linzi, you are too..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked aside by Li Yuyan:
"Speak as you speak, hug what you want!"

Yu Xilin got up from the ground, looked around, then looked at Li Yuyan and Lin Xiao, and finally stared at Li Yuyan, dissatisfied:
"I said, brother and sister, why are you so overbearing? Xiao Linzi and I are brothers, so we can't hug each other?"
