You Can't Be Fierce Towards Me!

Wen Tian tried to explain that he was not a monster, but the two peonies seemed to be really scared. No matter what Wen Tian said, they refused to open their mouths. They worked very hard to be an ordinary peony.

Unable to communicate with the two peonies, Wen Tian went outside again, and trees were planted at the door of every house. He wanted to know whether all the plants could talk, or only those two peonies were special.

The sun was shining outside, and the big tree branches at the door swayed gently with the breeze. Except for the noise of children playing and the crowing of chickens and ducks, Wen Tian didn't hear any special sounds.

Looking at the row of trees in the stockade from beginning to end, Wen Tian didn't hear a single sound from any tree.

He breathed a sigh of relief thankfully, it seemed that it wasn't that he had solved the problem, but that the two peonies in the house had become fine.

With his tight heart relaxed, Wen Tian walked back slowly. Occasionally, people passing by would greet him curiously on the road, and playful children followed him from a distance, but they didn't approach him curiously.

Wen Tian moved out a small bench and sat at the door basking in the sun.

He moved the two pots of unusually quiet peonies out again and placed them in the sun. Wen Tian still remembered that they said they wanted to bask in the sun.

The time of sitting idle passed slowly, Wen Tian felt that he had been sitting for a long time, but the sun in the sky just walked from the east to the middle.

The men in the village must have finished their work, walking back in twos and threes carrying farm tools, joking occasionally, and they knew each other well.

Wen Tian rested his chin on both hands and looked at them seriously.

He also did farm work in his previous life. At that time, his mother and sister were gone, and he had nothing. In order to survive, he went to Zhuangzi to work for others. Ten copper coins per acre of land were not much money, but the host provided breakfast and lunch. He barely survives on this job.

There are many people in Zhuangzi who work for a living just like him. Wen Tian had no ambition at that time, and he didn’t have much contact with them, but occasionally he envied these people. Although they lived in poverty, at least they had family members Companion, some men's daughters-in-law will come to deliver water at noon, and the better ones will bring a few wild fruits. Wen Tian was thinking at that time, if his mother and sister were still there, when he was working in the field, he would definitely Some people also bring water to themselves.

Unknowingly, he fell into the memories of the past again, and Wen Huang propped his chin in a daze.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" A black and thin child tilted his head and leaned in front of Wen Tian, ​​looking in his direction curiously.

Wen Tian came back to his senses, smiled at him, and casually pointed in the direction of the cafeteria, "Look there, the chimney is smoking, and it's time for lunch."

The child stepped on his feet and looked at the cafeteria. He didn't know what he thought of, so he drool.

"Monkey, your mother is calling you back!" A little furry head popped up from behind the big tree, and shouted loudly at the children beside Wen Tian.

"Don't call me a monkey!" The monkey jumped up like a firecracker when he heard the voice. He quickly jumped back and pressed the owner of the voice to the ground. .

Caught off guard when the battle started, Wen Tian looked at the two children who were huddled together in a daze, and tried to go up and separate them, but the two children were obviously old enemies, and Wen Tian couldn't pull them away at all.The monkey had a slight upper hand. He pressed the other child on the ground and rubbed it, and then jumped up the tree nimbly, and proudly made a face at the child whose head was covered in dust.

The child on the ground patted his buttocks and got up, and let the monkey come down with his hips and feet hopped.

The monkey made a provocative grimace, and lay down on the big tree again, and even shook the branches while climbing, and the leaves fluttered down.

"Oh, my old waist..."

In the middle of the passionate scolding between the two children, an old voice suddenly broke in, Wen Tian froze for a moment, his eyes suddenly fixed on the big tree in front of him.

The big tree was still groaning about the pain in the back, and the tree next door seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, and complained: "These two brats have to toss about several times a day, and the parents don't know how to control it!"

"Yes, yes, my leaves are almost bald by them." Another childish voice echoed.

Wen Tian followed the source of the sound and saw a small sapling planted next to the tree on the right, only one person tall, with only a few isolated leaves on the forked branches.

Wen Tian: "..."

Looking at the two children who were still arguing, the adults not far away didn't seem to care. He thought about it, fumbled in his sleeve for a while, and took out a handful of candies.

"Stop arguing, do you want candy?" Wen Tian held the wedding candy and shook it in front of the children, and the child under the tree stopped talking, looking at the candy wrapped in red paper with bright eyes.

"eat!"

Wen Tian laughed, rubbed his head, and handed him half of the sugar, "No, don't quarrel."

The child happily held the candy, said thank you brother, then proudly shook the candy at the monkey on the tree, and ran home with a handful of candy like a baby, shouting, "Mother, mother, I have candy!"

The monkey lying on the tree was dumbfounded. He slid down a little bit and stared at Wen Tian's hand eagerly.

Wen Tian waved at him, his eyes lit up, he quickly slid down the tree and stood in front of Wen Tian.

Putting the rest of the candy in his hand, Wen Tian patted his head, and said in a warm voice: "Go play, don't be naughty in the future." After thinking about it, he pointed to the big tree that had lost a lot of leaves and said: "Trees hurt too."

The monkey widened its eyes slightly, looked at the tree and smelled it again, said yes, and ran away quickly with the candy in its hands.

The big tree behind him swayed, and the old voice rejoiced: "Finally gone, pity my old waist..."

The other trees said a few words in agreement, and slowly fell silent again.

Compared with the two chattering peonies, the trees seem to be silent most of the time.

The shock at the beginning is over, and the rest is more curiosity.Wen Tian looked at these trees in amazement. It seemed that only he could hear what they said, but Wen Tian didn't know why only he could hear it.

He habitually touched the longevity lock on his neck. The body of the lock was smooth and round, with a warm touch that could only come from being touched and played with frequently.After thinking about it for a while, Wen Tian couldn't come up with any useful information. Wen Tian could only attribute all this to the apparition of the gods.

He can live again, and being able to understand the words of flowers and plants doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing.

During lunch, Chu Xiangtian came to look for Wen Huang.Xiao Qiao was not here today, so he came over to find Wen Tian himself for dinner.

Wen Tian felt a little complicated towards Chu Xiangtian. Before last night, Chu Xiangtian's image in his heart was a bandit leader who was not easy to mess with, but after last night, he felt that this person was not as vicious as he looked. .But if you really want to treat him better, it doesn't seem to be in line with the current position.

Although Chu Xiangtian treated each other with courtesy, in essence, one of them was a gangster and the other was a hostage. If given the chance to choose, Wen Tian would definitely run as soon as he could.

Chu Xiangtian didn't know his complicated thoughts, he had always liked beauties, Wen Tian was good-looking and quite to his taste, when people face things they like, they can't help being more pampering and lenient.

"Is your injury better?"

After he said this, Wen Tian realized that his back didn't hurt much anymore. He pressed his backhand on his back, and there was only a slight dull pain, which was much better than yesterday's pain when he touched it.

"It doesn't hurt much anymore."

Chu Xiangtian nodded, and the two walked to the cafeteria side by side.

On the way, Chu Xiangtian talked about Sifang Town smoothly, "Do you want to know the news about Sifang Town?"

Wen Tian turned his face slightly, a little surprised: "Is it possible?"

"There's nothing you can't say."

Chu Xiangtian slowly told him about Sifang Town.

After Wen Tian was kidnapped on Xishan Road, the escorting team withdrew directly to Wen's family. Naturally, the marriage would not be successful. Wen's family sent people to report to the officials, but Sifang Town was only a small place with not many officers and soldiers stationed there. It is really difficult for the bandits to compete against each other.

"I heard that your mother put pressure on the Jiao family to go to Xishantou with the government of Lehe Town to suppress the bandits."

Lehe Town and Sifang Town are on both sides of Qitian Ridge. The officers and soldiers of a single town may not be able to take the Xishan Village, but the forces of the two towns are combined. Enough to hurt the vitality of Xishanzhai.

"Aren't you worried?" Wen Tian looked at him in surprise.Chu Xiangtian said this as if he was joking, and he didn't seem to care at all.

Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows and chuckled, but his words were arrogant, "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come."

Wen Tian's hands hidden in his sleeves tightened, and once again he deeply realized that the person beside him was a real bandit leader. He took a deep breath and asked softly, "Is it still worthwhile to promise me a request you said yesterday?"

Chu Xiangtian: "Nature counts."

Wen Tian pursed her lips and said tentatively, "Can you get someone to bring a letter to my mother?"

He was kidnapped for two days, and his mother and sister were at home wondering how anxious he was.Moreover, his father's true face has not yet been exposed, and with the things that have happened since his rebirth, he found that none of them coincided with the development trajectory of his previous life. He was really worried that any changes caused by him would affect his mother and sister.

Chu Xiangtian didn't hesitate, "It's okay to send a letter, but your mother may not believe it."

Wen Huang was slightly stunned, and then realized that he was in the bandit's den, even if Chu Xiangtian sent someone to deliver a letter to his mother, she would probably not believe him, and would probably think that he was being coerced by others, and would be even more worried .

"Then what you say will count?"

Chu Xiangtian looked at him jokingly, "You don't believe me so much? Then when the matter is over, I will personally take you home."

He intentionally dragged the end of the sound very long, and the words were a bit ambiguous, but Wen Tian didn't have the heart to cooperate with him. He was still thinking about his mother and sister at home. He shook his head and refused, "You let me go At the foot of the mountain, I'll go back by myself." Xishanzhai is not a kind person, he doesn't want people to think that he has anything to do with the bandit leader.

Having been rejected so thoroughly, Chu Xiangtian clicked his tongue and did not speak again.

After lunch, Wen Tian went back alone, Chu Xiangtian seemed very busy, halfway through the meal someone called him, and he left in a hurry.Wen Tian vaguely heard the words Lehe Town and Sifang Town, and guessed that it should be related to the joint suppression of bandits he mentioned earlier.

The time in the stockade was too slow and peaceful. After lunch that day, Wen Tian didn't see Chu Xiangtian again. He walked all the places in the stockade. He also found many talking flowers and plants. Anyway, it's okay. Wan pretended to be sitting on the grass basking in the sun, but was secretly listening to the flowers and plants chatting.

After listening for a long time, most of the flowers and plants were talking about the weather this year, the lack of rain, etc., but they also mentioned a lot of useful information.

For example, the flowers and plants said that many people came down from the mountain recently and surrounded the whole mountain. They said that everyone at the bottom of the mountain was holding torches, and they were afraid that they would set fire to the mountain.

Wen Huang speculated that the officers and soldiers should have arrived, and they had spent at least one night at the foot of the mountain. The momentum was so large, it was probably the joint forces of Sifang Town and Lehe Town.

He stood up and patted the blades of grass on his body, wanting to ask Chu Xiangtian about the situation.

When he returned to Xiao Qiao's house, he found that Chu Xiangtian was already waiting for him.

"Why did the master come here?" He subconsciously wanted to ask about the situation in Sifang Town, but he stopped talking. He stayed in the village safely, and there was no reason to know the situation outside.

Chu Xiangtian said, "Your parents are at the foot of the mountain with officers and soldiers."

Wen Tian's eyelids twitched, and he let out a dry oh.

Chu Xiangtian smiled teasingly, "Are you scared?"

Wen Tian lowered his eyes and didn't make a sound, as if he acquiesced to his words.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Chu Xiangtian stood up and looked down at him, "But I need your help."

"What can I help?" Wen Tian was puzzled.

Chu Xiangtian put away his smile, said softly that he was offended, and then tied Wen Tian up.

With his hands tied behind his back, Wen Tian struggled uncomfortably, with a flustered expression, "What are you going to do?!"

Chu Xiangtian also untied his tied hair, scattered it randomly behind his back, looked at it with satisfaction for a moment, and said, "You and Chang Xi go for a walk outside, so that they don't dare to act rashly."

Wen Tian turned to look at him, his heart pounding, the trace of trust he had built before collapsed again, "You said you would let me go home."

Chu Xiangtian was amused by him, and stretched out his hand to press on the top of his head, "It seems that I have to send you back to Wenfu personally before you can trust me."

"Boss." Chang Xi came in from the outside, "The officers and soldiers are still surrounded below."

"Have someone push the catapult out, and you take Wen Tian out for a walk, let them see the man, and then bring him back."

"Okay." Chang Xi didn't have the usual simple and honest look on his face, and he looked even ferocious when he didn't smile. He nodded and left with Wen Tian.

******

Chang Xi left with Wen Huang, while Chu Xiangtian went to the meeting hall.

Everyone else went outside the stockade to defend in case the officers and soldiers made a surprise attack.At the moment, only Zhou Chuanqing was inside. He didn't wear a wide robe with long sleeves as usual, but changed into a thin-sleeved dress. The dull gray color was ordinary and inconspicuous.

Zhou Chuanqing reported the progress to him, "The spies report that at least half of the manpower over there has been transferred."

"Okay, are you ready?"

Zhou Chuanqing: "This time I will take people there personally, there will be no mistakes."

Chu Xiangtian nodded and pressed his shoulder, "Be careful."

After a short conversation, Zhou Chuanqing left quickly, Chu Xiangtian put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky, and walked towards Changxi in a leisurely manner.

Wen Tian followed Chang Xi out, and when they arrived outside the village, Chang Xi changed his polite attitude, apologized, and pushed Wen Tian hard.Wen Tian didn't react, and staggered forward for a while before standing still in a bit of embarrassment.

Chang Xi looked ferocious, and rudely pushed Wen Tian forward, and when he reached the mountain pass, he pulled the rope in Wen Tian's hand to stop.

Going forward is the mountain pass at the top of the west mountain.Xishantou is a branch of Qitian Ridge. The terrain is high, and there are steep rocks on both sides. Only the front and back sides have roads to pass through.The road to Houshan was artificially blocked, and the only way to pass was by the suspension bridge. The suspension bridge is usually closed, and it is the escape route reserved by Xishanzhai.The road in front of the mountain is connected to the west mountain road. The mountain road is steep and narrow. It is troublesome for people on the upper side to get down, and it is even more difficult for people on the lower side to go up.

The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the officers and soldiers dare not rush forward, so the two sides can only confront each other at the mountain pass.

Chang Xi grabbed Wen Tian and stood in the middle. With a wave of his hand, someone behind him pushed two mighty trebuchets over.

The wheels of the trebuchet rolled over the ground, causing a slight vibration. Wen Tian was startled, and immediately struggled vigorously, "This is different from what Chu Xiangtian said, my mother is still below!"

The distance between the two parties was not close, but Wen Tian still saw Fu Youqin among the officers and soldiers at a glance. He thought he was just playing a show with Chu Xiangtian, but now they even pushed out the trebuchet, and Xishanzhai occupied The location is favorable, if you really throw stones down the mountain, there will be more casualties below, and his mother will be in danger at any time.

Chang Xi was taken aback by his sudden struggle, so he could only grab him hard to prevent him from breaking free. Wen Tian kicked him with all his strength, trying to break free and run down, but Chang Xi was too strong to break free. He was restrained immediately.

Seeing that he was really struggling, Chang Xi could only explain in a low voice: "Boss asked him to move out to scare them."
