Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Naturally, Zhangjia Village became the fat lamb in their eyes, and they were planning how to take advantage of it.

Niu Er became the best candidate to gather intelligence this time because he was less rugged than a bandit and more cunning.

Scarface was attracted by his unique temperament that was different from that of his other brothers, and believed that by sending him out, he would be able to collect the required information quietly without alerting anyone.

Niu Er lived up to everyone's expectations. As soon as he returned to the mountain stronghold, he could not wait to tell everyone what he had seen and heard, and his tone was full of excitement: "Zhangjia Village is very rich! The village is backed by the majestic Daxiu Mountain, which echoes our Black Dragon Mountain in the distance, forming a natural barrier. As long as we can quickly plunder their property and women, and then use the complex terrain of Daxiu Mountain to hide, even if the government troops have great abilities, they will not be able to easily find our traces!"

Niu Er spoke sincerely and was full of determination to win.

Scarface heard this, a satisfied look appeared on his weather-beaten face, and his deep and powerful voice was full of praise: "Well done, this trip can be regarded as a great achievement."

As soon as he finished speaking, he asked cautiously: "Did anything go wrong on the way back? Was there anyone following us?"

Niu Er calmly shook his head, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "Don't worry, Boss, I have always been very careful in my work and I definitely didn't leave any clues behind."

Scarface was finally relieved and nodded in approval, "Okay! Pass my order immediately. Three days later, at midnight, the entire village will go out to raid Zhangjia Village, seize food, and bring back the hostages!"

Following the order from the big boss, the entire village seemed to be injected with endless vitality, and everyone was excited.

At the same time, deep in the grass outside the village, a thin woman was standing quietly. She had sharp eyes and quietly memorized the name "Black Dragon Village" in her heart.

This was Xu Liyun. She took advantage of the darkness and hurried back to Zhangjia Village. Too anxious to catch up, she just followed the trail and didn't pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment.

After learning the detailed situation of Zhangjia Village, Xu Liyun almost lost her way on the way back. She wandered around in the cold wind and took a lot of effort to find the rugged path leading to Zhangjia Village again.

At this moment, in a simple thatched hut in Zhangjia Village, Zhang Laoer had coaxed his two daughters into sleep.

Although such coaxing to sleep seems a bit redundant for the eldest daughter, Zhang Laoer still insists on giving the children warmth and comfort.

Since her mother passed away, Xiao Youniang always found it difficult to get used to being without her mother's company every night. Fortunately, her father Zhang Laoer was there, patting her back with his rough but warm big hands.

Zhang Laoer was filled with anxiety and worry. He decided to wait for Xu Liyun's return. In order to prevent his son in the house from noticing his uneasiness, he chose to wait outside the warehouse, and at the same time took the opportunity to check whether there were any new holes dug by rats to prevent the precious food from being destroyed.

As the night deepened, everything was silent except for the occasional sound of wind blowing through the forest.

It was not until midnight that a slight noise was suddenly heard in the yard. Zhang Laoer was startled and quickly went out to check. He saw Xu Liyun leaping lightly into the yard. Although her steps were fast, she only left faint footprints and almost no sound. Her return temporarily calmed Zhang Laoer's heart.

He quickly stretched out his strong hand, tightly grasped her trembling wrist, and gently pulled her into the warehouse for shelter.

What caught my eye was her appearance of being covered in dust and with messy hair, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.

He turned around and quickly took out a clean towel and the hot dumplings that he had left for her earlier from the corner, his eyes full of love and concern for her.

Xu Liyun was indeed very hungry and did not care about anything else. She hastily wiped the stains on her face and hands with a towel, then picked up the bowl of dumplings with both hands and swallowed several of them without thinking.

After having some warm food in her stomach, Xu Liyun panted slightly: "I tell you, that man is definitely not a good guy. I saw him walking towards Black Dragon Mountain with my own eyes, and finally disappeared behind the gate of Black Dragon Village!"

Zhang Laoer pursed his lips when he heard this. The previous ease on his face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression: "So, this person is really a bandit, and came to our village in broad daylight to investigate the situation?"

"It's almost certain." Xu Liyun said in a deep voice while chewing dumplings, with a sharp look in her eyes. "There are a lot of people gathered in the village. In the past, I often heard that there were vicious tigers on Black Dragon Mountain that injured people and many hunters died because of it. But I always feel that those stories are not groundless. The story of the vicious tiger is probably to cover up the true face of Black Dragon Village. They killed people and spread rumors so that the villagers at the foot of the mountain would not dare to easily set foot in."

After Zhang Laoer thought about it carefully, he felt that there was some truth in what he said.

Chengguan County has been peaceful and tranquil for many years, and there has never been any rumor of invasion by bandits.

The legend about the evil tiger has only emerged in recent years, which made him speculate that the bandits should not have gathered for a long time. Perhaps it was because of the prosperity of the kang industry in Zhangjia Village in recent years that its reputation has gradually risen, attracting these greedy eyes.

"Then how do you plan to deal with it?" Zhang Laoer sighed in his heart, looked up at Xu Liyun, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Liyun did not hesitate and said in a straightforward tone: "Since they have set their sights on us, they will definitely not give up. Instead of sitting there and waiting for them to come to us, why don't we gather the strength of the entire village, regardless of gender, age or status, and take the initiative to attack and directly raid their lair!"

Zhang Laoer's eyebrows rose involuntarily when he heard this. He thought Xu Liyun would be inclined to seek support and assistance from the government, but he did not expect that she would be so brave and dare to lead the villagers to confront the bandits head-on.

Xu Liyun had known him for a long time and knew his thoughts very well, so she analyzed directly and frankly: "We don't know when those bandits will launch an attack. If we rashly go to the government now, firstly, we don't have solid evidence. Even if we take them up the mountain to investigate, once the bandits are alerted, it will only backfire. Secondly, we are not sure about the ability of the government. If we fail to completely eliminate the bandits, as long as one or two escape, the nearby villages will face disaster."

Every bandit in Black Dragon Village is ruthless and cruel. Even those who come out to explore the way exude a cold murderous aura. One can imagine how cruel the other members are.

If a few fish slip through the net, the surrounding villages will likely suffer a devastating disaster within two days.

Moreover, the whereabouts of Black Dragon Village had just been discovered. If the government knew about it so quickly, it would obviously mean that some internal movement had been leaked.

If those desperate bandits were to become enraged and humiliated by being discovered and directly break into Zhangjia Village to seek revenge, the consequences would be disastrous.
