After Jixiang and Zhaocai checked the bandits with Chen Yaohui, no one was found alive. After the two took down the arrows that had been shot into the bandits, Jixiang went to ask Zhou Jiandao: "Master, what should I do with those corpses?"

After hearing this, Zhou Jia said coldly with disgust on his face: "Drag him to a hole and throw him in it."

"Yes." Jixiang, Chen Yaohui and others dragged the body to a hole at the end of the woods and threw the bandit down.

The two went back and reported to Zhou Jiachen: "Master, Miss Li's arrow skills are so accurate that she hit the bandit's throat and killed him with one arrow."

Zhou Jia took the short arrow and said, "I understand, Uncle Zhou and I are on duty and you should go and take a rest!"

"Yes, Master." Jixiang and Zhaocai bowed and went back to the tent to rest.

Zhou Jia looked at the short arrow in his hand and thought to himself: Where did Xiaoyu get all his kung fu? Could it be that she really had some adventure?

After Chen Yaohui returned, he called the village chief aside and whispered: "Dad, Xiaoyu's kung fu is so good that we can't even see clearly, but those robbers were all shot in the throat. I remember Brother Li Shan's kung fu seems to be It’s not that good!”

"You idiot, everyone is like you! You have a gut that goes all the way to the bottom." The village chief smiled and patted Chen Yaohui on the shoulder, feeling relieved. "Those who have two tricks in their hands will not be able to do anything until the day when their lives are at stake." Maybe I’ll expose everything in my hands for you to see!”

After hearing this, Chen Yaohui felt that what his father said seemed to make sense. He nodded and said, "You are still more knowledgeable. I will leave this place to you and my brother when I go back to sleep for a while."

The village chief patted him and said, "Go! You can still sleep for more than an hour."

The village chief nodded while thinking about Chen Yaohui's words with his hands behind his back. Both Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou were capable, and there would be nothing wrong with following them.

The village chief walked around the camp and saw Zhou Jia guarding the door of Li Yu's tent. He nodded secretly: Yes! Xiaoyu is more discerning than her father and did not choose the wrong person this time.

The sky is getting brighter, a thin mist is passing through the bare tree trunks, and the woods are slowly becoming lively. The children are full of energy after sleeping all night, playing and playing in the woods, collecting firewood.

Aunt He and Li Mei had already prepared the meal. They sat there looking at the children, smiling and saying something.

Zhou Jia stood under the tree and listened to Li Qing recite his lessons. Everything seemed so calm and peaceful, as if the killing last night was an illusion.

When Li Yu woke up, he found that Laidi had already gotten up. He quickly combed his hair and simply rolled it up, folded the mattress and started to dismantle the tent.

Zhou Jia walked up to Li Yu, looked at her and said with some worry: "Xiaoyu, I think those bandits last night probably came from Qingfeng Ridge, which is still half a day away from here."

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia, "Qingfengling? Are there bandits there?"

Zhou Jia nodded and said, "I heard that there is a Black Bear Village there. About two years ago, a man named Black Bear came from nowhere. He gathered some people in Qingfengling to intercept passing merchants. I didn't expect that they would beat the victims. It’s an idea, alas! It’s my fault for not thinking it through.”

After hearing this, Li Yu was silent for a while, then looked up at Zhou Jia, "Don't take everything with you. It's never going to be smooth sailing when you go out. Zhou Jia, can we take a detour to Qixian County from somewhere else?"

Zhou Jia shook his head, "The only way to Qixian is Qingfengling."

Li Yu pondered for a moment and then said: "It's easy to handle it with only a few of us, but we still have so many villagers with us. We should discuss it with the village chief and see what they think?"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and said softly: "You must be hungry! Let's go eat the food first and then see what they think."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay, don't worry about it for a while. I'm already hungry. Let's go eat first."

Li Mei looked at Li Yu and smiled at Aunt He: "Xiao Yu is also up, let's start dinner!"

Li Qing stepped forward and took Li Yu's hand, "Sister, I didn't notice last night that even the leaves here were eaten by locusts. You see, the forest is all bare."

Li Yu looked at the bare tree trunk and frowned, "Yes! Who would have thought that such a small thing could be so destructive."

Li Mei shouted over there, "Xiaoyu, Ah Qing, come and eat quickly so you can go on your way."

Several people went over to see the pickled cabbage dumplings made by Li Mei and Aunt He. They were sour and spicy and very appetizing.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia went to the village chief after dinner. Zhou Jia told him the situation. The village chief stayed for a while and discussed with Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, I can't make the decision for everyone. How about we make the decision?" Everyone is called together to see what they think, and we can discuss the matter?"

"Yes, we have to pass through Qingfengling when we go to Qixian County. The bandits from Black Bear Village will definitely come again to rob the road. As long as there is a fight, there will inevitably be casualties. Everyone should think carefully before making a decision."

After hearing this, the village chief said worriedly to the two of them, "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment with Xiaoyu and I will call them."

Chen Yaohui and Li came over, "Xiaoyu, Mr. Zhou, why haven't you come out yet? Did something happen?"

Xiaoyu told them about the bandits in Qingfengling again. Mrs. Li looked at Li Yu in fear, "Xiaoyu, the bandits want to kill people, what should we do? Otherwise we should go back!"

Chen Baozhen was standing behind her at some point when she heard that a bandit screamed: "I told you she is unreliable and you have to believe her. Now I will risk my life here."

Li Yu looked at Chen Baozhen coldly, "Miss Chen, it's not too late for you to turn back and go back."

Chen Baozhen pointed at Li Yu and became angry, "What's your attitude..."

"Baozhen, it's not your turn to speak here," Chen Yaohui pulled away from Chen Baozhen and glared at Li, "There will be no bandits when we go back? Have you forgotten that the Xu family was robbed? These bullies robbed big families. Once it’s over, they’ll come to rob us.”

The village chief came with Butcher He, the clan leader's son Chen Zhong, and the heads of more than 20 other households.

Everyone was sitting around, and the village chief said to them: "I have told you what Mr. Zhou said. Now everyone is here to discuss and come up with an idea."

A villager named He Cheng said to Zhou Jia with an unhappy face, "Mr. Zhou, since there are bandits over there, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had told you earlier, I wouldn't have come."

Zhou Jia glanced at him and said, "This fellow, I don't remember that I have ever gone to find you to escape from the famine! Besides, we are not far away now, so you can always turn back."

After hearing this, He Cheng glared at Zhou Jia, "What kind of attitude do you have? You brought us out just to leave us alone!"

After hearing this, Zhou Jia thought: It seems that it is better to speak clearly as soon as possible, so as not to lead these people on the road to cause trouble, which will not be peaceful.
