Looking at the equipment and clothing of those people, Ning Xiao knew that these people were probably nearby villagers. It seemed that the people in this area lived a very hard life. Although it was early spring, the weather was still very cold at night, but these What the person wears is obviously very thin.

It can be seen that these people's life is not very good, otherwise they would not come out to rob the caravan at night. Naturally, Ning Xiao could not watch them rob the merchant's caravan, so he shouted loudly.

"Who is this person? What are you doing sneakily?"

The group of people were also stunned. They only approached this place in the middle of the night just because they knew someone was keeping watch. They didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, before they even reached the mule cart.

At this time, knowing that he and others had been discovered, he simply stopped tiptoeing and chose to run directly towards the mule cart.

But at this time, the caravan's guards had been awakened by Ning Xiao's loud shout. As a guard who often went out to do business, he immediately realized that someone was coming to rob him, so he reacted quickly, holding a big knife in his hand. He slashed at the rushing robber.

When Ning Xiao was shouting, he had already knocked out the stones in his hand, knocking down four or five robbers in an instant.

For a moment, the caravan's guards fought with the villagers who came to rob. Because the night was very dark at this time, the guards only saw a few people rushing at the front, while the robbers who rushed up, After seeing a few of his own people being chopped down, he became a little timid, and then he stopped rushing forward, and the birds and beasts suddenly dispersed. After a while, the robbers disappeared completely.

Of course, except for a few who were knocked down by Ning Xiao and a few who were chopped to the ground by the guards, the remaining robbers had all escaped.

The Shang Dong family obviously experienced this often. He sighed and stepped forward to look at the several robbers who had been chopped down.

"Bring the golden sore medicine and bandage them."

Ning Xiao didn't speak, but stood aside and watched the Shang family arrange for people to give medicine to the robbers. He didn't step forward until he finished the arrangement.

"Shang Dongjia Renyi, these robbers are obviously not habitual robbers, they should be nearby villagers!"

The business owner sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Ning, you have a sharp eye! It seems that Brother Ning has guessed it." The Shang family praised Ning Xiao.

Seeing Ning Xiao nodding, he continued.

"The boundary where we are now is the boundary of Jizhou Prefecture. The people here are living a miserable life! King An is not a good person. In recent years, the people of Jizhou Prefecture have been very miserable. I sell some food to Jizhou Prefecture from the mainland every year. When I go to the East and West, I often encounter people robbing passing merchants. I have experienced this several times.

In fact, these people are not bad. They can go without food or drink, but the elderly and children at home always need to eat! They had no choice but to come out to rob the caravan, so after these people woke up, I let them go back. Firstly, in order to prevent these villagers from harassing me when I take this route again in the future. Secondly, it is also a good idea. Accumulating virtue. "

Ning Xiao didn't comment on the Shang Dong family's thoughts. It was up to others to choose whatever they wanted. He was just passing through here and staying for a few days. It was really hard to say whether he would come here or not. Don't say that Ning Xiao was cruel. There is no sympathy. For a person who has been in the apocalypse, he has seen many such things.

Half an hour later, the villagers who had been chopped down and the villagers who had been knocked down by Ning Xiao woke up one after another. The merchant family took out some supplies from the goods and gave them to them.

"I am a businessman. Although I won't make much money when I go to Jizhou Prefecture to do business this time, I am still better than you. I think I can help you a little by taking these things back. There are not many things, so please Do not mind."

Although these villagers woke up at this time, they were frightened by the fierce momentum of the guards just now, and they did not dare to make any mistakes, so they asked timidly.

"Um...you...you really let us go back? Don't you send us to the government?"

Shang Dongjia smiled kindly.

"Yes, let you go back. I also know that you are living a hard life now, so I understand your difficulties, but you can no longer rob my caravan in the future. You must know that I am only running a small business."

One of the villagers immediately realized that this was the businessman's family showing goodwill to his own people. He just hoped that when he and others passed by here in the future, he and others would not rob his caravan again, so he shouted loudly.

"Since this boss said this, I also know what this boss means. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about anything if you pass by here in the future. However, this boss needs to be careful. We are not the only ones around here. In a village, I can prevent the villagers from harassing you in our village, but I can’t make the decision in other villages!”

The businessman's family naturally knew what this villager meant, so he said so.

"It doesn't matter, the guards I bring every time are all good ones. I just hope that the next time we meet again, it will not be a sword fight, but a good wine and delicious meal."

Seeing the villagers limping away from the camp with their things, Ning Xiao turned around his tent, and the Shang family naturally took care of the rest.

The rest of the night was spent quietly until dawn. When the sky got slightly brighter, Ning Xiao got up. Xiao Linzi brought hot water and waited for Ning Xiao to finish washing up. Shang Dong's house also prepared it. After getting the meal, he invited Ning Xiao to come and have breakfast with him.

Ning Xiao is not polite. He is now an acquaintance with the Shang Dong family, so there is no need to be polite. Besides, if he hadn't been alert last night and shouted loudly in advance, waking up the caravan's guards, the caravan's losses would have been really insignificant. That’s easy to say.

"Thank you so much, Brother Ning, for last night. If it hadn't been for your warning, my losses would have been huge!"

"Haha, there's no need to be polite, merchant. Since we can meet again in Jizhou Prefecture, it's fate. I can't possibly watch your goods being robbed. Besides, those people are pitiful, but it's not something they can do. For reasons of robbery, they can migrate elsewhere to find a place suitable for their survival."

Of course, Ning Xiao also knew that what he said was taken for granted, but that was the fact. A tree would die if it was moved, but a person would live if it moved! You can't just hang here and wait to die! Ning Xiao actually knows that people today think like this. No one is willing to leave their hometown to live in a place they are unfamiliar with.

In the next few days, Ning Xiao rode his horse around the area. He also met many villagers wandering around. Ning Xiao ignored them. He mainly wanted to see if there was a ferry nearby, but Thinking back to how fast the river was, I finally gave up the idea of ​​crossing the river by boat.
