When they arrived at the Li family's house, it was also in chaos. The women gathered in the main hall, crying and not knowing what to do.

After all, this was a big deal, and almost all the escort agents in the entire escort agency were dispatched. But now none of them came back, leaving behind the Li family's group of elderly, weak, women and children. How could they not panic?

Fortunately, the old man of the Li family is still alive. Although he is old, he is still in good health and the younger generations are afraid of him.

Mr. Li picked up his walking stick and hit the table leg hard several times, shouting angrily.

"Shut up! Why are you crying?"

As soon as Li ran into the house, she heard her father's angry voice. Worried that the old man couldn't bear it due to his old age, she hurriedly comforted him loudly.

"Dad, don't be angry. Let's talk nicely."

When the women of the Li family saw that it was the old aunt who had returned, they cried even more pitifully and helplessly. The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family turned around to greet the younger sister-in-law, and with tears in her eyes, she reached out her hand to shake hers.

"Sister Yan, your elder brother and his men have been detained by the people from the Tao family village. What should we do?"

As the head of the Li Family Escort Agency, Yang was never a weak woman, but this time she really lost her mind. Her husband, three sons, and eldest grandson were all trapped in that tiger's den. Just thinking about the terrible consequences that might happen, she was so flustered that she couldn't stand.

"Don't panic, sister-in-law. Let's sit down and talk slowly. Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and younger sister-in-law, you all sit down as well."

He turned his head and looked at the nieces and nephews-in-law next to him, and hurriedly said a few words of comfort to them.

"Don't cry, or you might scare the children.

Look at their little faces covered with snot and tears. Take them away quickly to wash their faces and give them some water to calm down.

There are still elders here, don't panic, okay?"

Li was loved by her father and brothers, so she always had some face in her natal family, and the younger generations were willing to obey what she said.

He sent all the younger generations away, and barely comforted his sister-in-law and brothers and sisters.

After the Lin family members greeted the Li family members, everyone sat down anxiously to discuss countermeasures together.

"Uncle Li, have you received any letter? Do you know what's going on here? How could we have offended the people from the Tao family village? Haven't we been living in peace for so many years?"

A series of questions came out without stopping, Lin Yuanshan was really anxious!

Mr. Li's brows were tightly furrowed, and his old voice could not conceal his fatigue.

"Yesterday, the Tao family sent someone to deliver a message. They said that my Li family broke the rules first, and someone released their goods. That's why they detained the person and asked us to pay money to redeem him."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yuanshan couldn't quite understand some of the underworld words, so Li explained a few words.

"I guess the Tao family village took a fancy to a group of fat sheep, and then our family let them run away? That doesn't make sense."

She looked at her husband, then at her father.

"Isn't it said that the escort we are escorting this time is very important? Even my eldest brother went with us to support us personally, how could we make such a mistake?"

"Who says it's not?"

Li's second sister-in-law took over the conversation with a tearful voice.

"You said your second brother is always a cautious person, and he has been running back and forth on this road for many years. How could he suddenly step into a trap? He must have been deliberately tricked by the people in the Tao family village!"

"That's right. If something goes wrong and we are left alone, how are we going to live?"

"I should have known not to take this escort mission..."

The third and fifth sons' wives started crying again, which made the old man so angry that he banged the table hard, and then he calmed down after sobbing.

"The specific situation is not clear yet, but don't panic. I have already informed the county government."

His voice lowered slightly.

"I heard that the higher-ups have already made arrangements. What we need to do now is to keep things stable and not lose our composure. Fourth girl, since you already know about this, then give a hand to the family.

I guess in the next two days, the government will start organizing people to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits. Can those guys in your family help out..."

He was asking about his own daughter, but he was looking at his son-in-law.

If there were no more useful males in the family, Mr. Li would not want to bring his grandsons out to take over.

However, he himself was too old to ride a horse or carry a knife. The remaining children in the family were only a few years old, so what could they do?

Now their whole family, including the people and their escorts, are trapped in Xiaochong Mountain. Finally, the government is planning to suppress the bandits. There must be someone in the family to go with them to rescue them, right?

Ugh.

Zhang Dafu clenched his fists, listened to his father-in-law's questions, and felt the pleading gazes of his wife and daughter. After being silent for several breaths, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I will tell those guys to listen to your instructions at any time when I get back."

The sons have all learned some skills from their uncle for a few years, and they will follow the government officials into the mountains, so nothing dangerous should happen, right?

"Brother Zhang, count me in as well. I'll go back and get my stuff. I'll send the women and children back to Linjia Village and then I'll come back and follow the government officials!"

Lin Yuanshan glanced at his daughter-in-law who seemed to be hesitant to speak. When Zhang Xuanniang was stared at by her father-in-law, she opened and closed her mouth but in the end no extra words came out.

I sighed helplessly in my heart.

Lin Yuanshan could certainly understand the daughter-in-law's anxiety about her husband. Her husband was her own son, so how could he, as a father, not be anxious?

However, you can't point your finger at my sister-in-law. After all, although she is really strong, her brain is really not working well!

This time they were facing ruthless bandits, all of whom were very cunning. If Chu ran into them like this, who knew what would happen?

The one trapped in the bandit's den is his own son. As a father, he should go through fire and water for his son, but he has no reason to ask others to do the same.

As a human being, you can't be so shameless.

Chu Chi didn't understand the current situation at all, and just held Lin Qianqian in his arms, playing the big-eye-small-eye game with the big-eye-small-eye game. But just because she didn't understand, it didn't mean her external brain couldn't understand.

Feeling the pleading look from his sister-in-law, Lin Youan pinched his palm hard and avoided the sight in embarrassment.

Of course he knew what his sister-in-law meant by that look, but he couldn't agree!
