There are bandits next to the farmhouse

Chapter 38
She carefully dug out the dandelions and washed them in the river not far from the watermelon field.

Living here is more convenient than living in the village with water.

There is a watermelon field next to it, and a clear river below.

The end of the water source is Bashan, so the water here is running water, a clean and clear mountain spring.

While washing, I saw my adoptive mother Xu coming in a hurry.

With an anxious look on her face, she said loudly: "Xiaoyu, come on, come with me to the village."

Xiaoyu stood up, pushed aside the broken hair on his forehead, and said, "Mother, why are you here? What happened?"

Mrs. Xu said anxiously: "Yuanzhao, call Shang Yuanzhao quickly, something happened, hurry up."

Xianyu didn't know what made Mrs. Xu so anxious, but she knew Mrs. Xu would not harm them.

She hurriedly dried the water on her hands, and shouted in the direction of the cottage: "Yuanzhao, come out soon, mother is here."

Li Yuanzhao responded and came out soon.

Mrs. Xu pulled the two of them away, saying as they walked, "There are people coming from the town, everyone must be present, and the household registration will be counted again. Anyone who cannot be counted will be punished as bandits."

"What?" Xianyu blinked.

She thought it was the old woman who was making trouble again, but it turned out that someone from the town came.

What about statistical household registration?Those without household registration are bandits? ?
I'm going, it can't be...that gang of bandits provoked it, right?Xianyu remembers the Burning Man they robbed last time, as if it was delivering goods to some official.

Xianyu and Li Yuanzhao soon arrived in the village, and they lined up at Lizheng's home to register.

Xianyu and Li Yuanzhao didn't live in the village, so they were the last ones to come. They were at the end of the queue, and it didn't take long for them to turn.

Li Zheng looked at them and said, "The two of them are Li Dalong's son and daughter. They just separated their household registration a few days ago, and now they live in... Hey, Xiaoyu, where do you two live now?"

Xianyu said honestly, "I live in a shack in the watermelon field."

The people who came to the town were a few official servants, one of them looked Xianyu and Li Yuanzhao up and down, and said, "They are so small, how could they go out and live alone?"

Lizheng explained: "Their old lady was making a fuss, and she had to sell the girl doll. I don't think it's a problem to make a fuss, so they decided to divide their household registration. Now the daughter The doll's household registration is in her own hands, as long as she doesn't sell herself, no one can sell her."

Li Yuanzhao is not yet an adult, and he listens to Xiaoyu in everything. There is no such thing as him selling Xiaoyu.

The official took a surprised look at Lizheng, lowered his head to register, and joked: "People nowadays, tsk tsk, there are too many prostitutes, who can make decisions for themselves? They are lucky to meet Chen Lizheng." You're an upstanding and meddling person. But most people aren't as lucky as them!"

Hearing this, Xianyu stepped forward, slightly bent his knees and thanked Lizheng: "I was in a hurry that day, and I forgot to thank Grandpa Chen, thank you very much."

Lizheng stroked his beard in relief, and said: "Only if you are alive, you have hope. Now that you are separated as you wish, Xiaoyu, don't think about hanging yourself anymore."

"Grandpa Chen, don't worry, it won't happen."

Those with clean family backgrounds were registered one by one, and no one was found to be like a bandit.

The officer couldn't help sighing, and said: "The area around Bashan is not peaceful recently, you all have to be careful, anyone who looks like a bandit must be reported as soon as possible, understand?"
