Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 106 Protecting the People and the Village
After all, the village chief had already foreseen the possible problems and arranged for several strong young men to follow the brave Zhang Rui up the mountain to rescue the injured warriors early in the morning.
Under Zhang Laoer's meticulous care day and night, more than a dozen villagers who were originally on the verge of death were finally out of danger. Zhang Laoer generously gave each injured person a bottle of precious tranquilizer to help them recuperate.
This selfless act won countless gratitude and respect, and many families later sent their own handmade products to the Zhang family from time to time to express their deep gratitude.
On the other hand, Long Yi took advantage of the cover of darkness to interrogate the captured bandits all night long.
As expected, the leader of the bandit's nest was the notorious Liu Bazi. Most of the bandits under him were criminals who had fled for killing officials. They were closely connected to each other by the bond of sin.
Another small number were idle people from nearby villages who were recruited by Liu Bazi to act as spies to collect intelligence from surrounding villages.
Once the details of these people were thoroughly understood, Long Yi immediately began to draft a detailed memorial to be submitted to the court.
However, considering that the end of the year is approaching, all government affairs have to wait until after the Spring Festival to be dealt with. This memorial can only be put on the desk temporarily and wait for the right time.
Before the imperial court's letter of praise arrived, the county magistrate Long Yi could not wait to deliver the rewards carefully prepared by the county government to the threshold of Zhangjia Village.
That day happened to be the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, a day when the festive atmosphere of the New Year was getting stronger. Long Yi, accompanied by the servants who were still busy, carried a large gold-plated plaque with the words "Protect the People and Ensure the Village" written by him on their shoulders, and strode into the boundaries of Zhangjia Village accompanied by the festive music of gongs and drums.
The sky was unusually clear, and the warm sun, rarely seen in winter, was shining down, illuminating the village's threshing ground, which had been cleaned spotlessly early by the hardworking villagers.
The little girl was awakened from her warm quilt by her mother's gentle hands in the morning light. She felt her father's rough but loving hands carefully scrubbing her cheeks and brushing her teeth cautiously while she was still sleepy.
Afterwards, Zhang Laoer, relying on countless times of practice, skillfully moved his hair left and right, and with his fingers deftly rolling and twisting, two lively and flexible buns bloomed on the little girl's head.
Considering the celebration in the village today, he specially picked out the bright red hairband he had prepared in advance and tied a festive red hairband for the little girl's hair.
After finishing dressing up Xiao Youniang, Zhang Laoer lost interest and wanted to show the same fatherly love to his eldest daughter Wuniang, but Wuniang dodged him cleverly.
Wu Niang quickly used a simple hairband to tie a neat little bun. Although it was not as delicate as Xiao You Niang's, it revealed a sense of casualness, which made Zhang Laoer smile helplessly and let his daughter's personality show.
When the warm water droplets brushed across the little girl's face, the last trace of sleepiness also dissipated.
She quickly finished tidying up and went to her mother with her soft and smooth face to apply some fragrant skin care products.
Xu Liyun took out the precious jade fragrance ointment made by Zhang Laoer with ease, gently rubbed it on the little girl's delicate skin, and told her to spread it evenly.
In a flash, she half-jokingly and half-seriously pulled over her eldest daughter Wu Niang and applied a layer of delicate fragrance on her face, which made Wu Niang smile bitterly, secretly regretting that she was once again "captured" by her mother's love.
Today, Zhangjia Village will hold a grand banquet to celebrate the complete elimination of the bandits. Every household needs to prepare a dish and bring it to the threshing ground.
The old village chief had issued the notice several days in advance, and even the seats for each family had been carefully arranged.
The villagers had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Ever since those brave villagers returned after defeating the bandits, everyone had always gathered around them, curious and eager to know how they had managed to escape unscathed and achieve this seemingly impossible victory despite being outnumbered.
In rumors, the bandits were portrayed as strong and powerful warriors who were no match for even the well-equipped police officers. The villagers couldn't help but wonder how these ordinary farmers who usually tilled the fields could have such extraordinary fighting power?
Faced with outside doubts, the "warriors" held their heads high and vividly recounted Xu Liyun's legendary experience of strategizing, teaching fighting skills, and how they cleverly located the bandit's nest, outsmarted the sentries, and finally captured the bandit leader alive single-handedly.
These vivid stories made the villagers intoxicated as if they were listening to a storytelling show, and they applauded and praised the performance endlessly at the climaxes.
Xu Liyun's heroic deeds were widely praised, especially her feat of breaking into the enemy camp alone and capturing the bandit leader, which became the focus of street talk.
At first, people admired her immense strength and extraordinary courage, but as time went by, the legend gradually evolved into a myth, saying that she was the White Tiger Star who had descended to earth. When she fought against bandits, she displayed extraordinary magical powers, with three heads and six arms. When the bandit leader saw the vague white tiger phantom emerging behind her, he was so frightened that his soul flew away and he knelt down to beg for mercy.
This strange legend not only made some elderly people half-believing and half-doubting, but also attracted many villagers who loved excitement to visit Zhang Laoer's simple thatched cottage every day, trying to witness with their own eyes whether Li Yun really had the supernatural power of three heads and six arms, or to catch a glimpse of the white tiger shadow behind her. For a time, the small courtyard was crowded with people.
In the village, the villagers who were always full of endless imagination about supernatural stories, after witnessing this miracle, their beliefs seemed to be re-consolidated by an invisible force.
They began to be convinced that the snow-white little tiger raised by the second brother's family must be the legendary mysterious Xu Liyun, whose soul was looking for a gentle home in this world!
The rumor spread quickly like wildfire, until finally, the faint sound of the wind quietly reached Xu Liyun's ears.
Faced with such rumors, Xu Liyun could only respond with a helpless smile. At the same time, she gently kneaded the small white tiger in her arms.
Xiaobai seemed to sense his master's intention. He first raised his head and roared in dissatisfaction. His childish but majestic voice penetrated the noise around him, and he curled up back into the warm embrace of his little girl.
The little girl took on this sweet burden. She hugged the growing stronger little tiger tightly, and whispered in her delicate voice a language that only they could understand.
Although the outside world's comments were like a storm and full of wild speculation, the courtyard of the Zhang family's second branch was filled with laughter and the atmosphere of joy was not disturbed at all.
In order to celebrate this special day, Zhang Siwa carefully selected the ingredients the night before. When the rooster crowed, he and his father Zhang Laoer began the cooking ceremony in the early morning light.
The blazing fire illuminated the focused and determined faces of the father and son.
