Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing

Just after the beginning of autumn, the weather is very hot. Even at night, the small courtyard in the mountains is still as hot as a steamer.

Lu Dongfu snuggled into Qi Zhongyu's arms, her fair skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, her cheeks were flushed and wet, her red lips were slightly parted, and she was gasping for breath.

too hot.

Fortunately, Qi Zhongyu's body was cold, and it was chilly to lean against, and it was very comfortable to the touch.

Qi Zhongyu didn't think she was too hot, instead, he lowered the temperature of his body surface a little more with his exercise, so that Lu Dongfu could rest more comfortably.

She lazily licked her lips, and she could still taste Lu Dongfu's taste. She heard Lu Dongfu's lovely gasp, and she sighed: "Is this day so happy like a fairy?"

Sure enough, it was different after the bridal chamber, and the feeling of being truly with the one I love was great.

She couldn't remember why she didn't come sooner...

Oh, thinking about it, she choked up her smile, looking at Lu Dongfu's especially immature face, the guilt became even stronger.

Lu Dongfu noticed her gaze, opened his eyes wide and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"

Qi Zhongyu raised his hand to cover her eyes, and said sullenly: "It's nothing, it's getting late, go to bed early."

Lu Dongfu responded, rubbed her coquettishly, closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Qi Zhongyu was used to waiting for her breathing to fall into a deep sleep before brewing drowsiness, but today she was probably too excited, she couldn't fall asleep, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the top of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Vaguely, she heard the sound of messy footsteps approaching quickly, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and pricked up her ears to concentrate on listening, and not long after, she heard a rapid knock on the door, and someone shouted sadly: "Uncle, Uncle! "

Qi Zhongyu was taken aback, and quickly turned over to get up. Lu Dongfu had just fallen asleep, and was suddenly awakened by the movement of her getting up.

She rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Qi Zhongyu rummaged through the cabinet to find clean clothes and put them on quickly, and said while putting them on, "I heard Kang Lin's voice just now, he seems to be still crying, something must have happened, I'll go and have a look."

Kang Lin is Luo Zhenhai's youngest son. He is only nine years old this year, but he has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and his personality is also lively and cute. Qi Zhongyu has a good impression of him, and occasionally teaches him some boxing skills.

He had never been to this small courtyard in the mountains alone, and he ran over and knocked on the door in the middle of the night, something must have happened.

Lu Dongfu also realized this, and hurriedly got up from the bed to get clothes from the closet.

In the past, she would wear thin underwear before going to bed, but tonight she took a bath with Qi Zhongyu after eating, and stumbled to the bed after taking a bath...

So there was no clothes to wear beside the bed, and the light in the room was very dark. She didn't care about choosing, so she took out a few clothes and put them on.

Qi Zhongyu was faster than her, had already put on his clothes, went to the courtyard door and opened it, and saw Luo Kanglin sitting on the ground paralyzed, with snot and tears, trembling from crying.

Qi Zhongyu stretched out his hand to pull him up, and asked, "Kang Lin, what's wrong?"

Luo Kanglin shook his head frantically, grabbed the hem of Qi Zhongyu's clothes, and said intermittently: "Uncle, home, something happened at home! Someone set fire to the yard, and then broke in. Father... Father, he asked those people what they wanted to do, and they didn't speak. , just to rob the house, dad forbade them to move around, so they fought with dad. Wow... dad bled a lot, mom did too, uncle, brother let me come to you. Please, uncle, help My father and my mother, save brother."

Qi Zhongyu's heart tightened, he patted his shoulder to comfort him, and said: "I see, I'll go down the mountain to find your parents right now, you wait at home with your second aunt for me to come back."

Lu Dongfu just got dressed at this time, and hurried over, looked at Kang Lin who was crying, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Zhongyu said: "I want to go down the mountain, and Kang Lin will take care of you. He will explain to you clearly, you should close the door tightly, and there should be no one... Forget it, just in case, you still take the

Take the food and Kang Lin to the deep mountains, find a hidden place to hide for the time being, and make a mark along the way, I will definitely come back to find you later. "

Lu Dongfu bit her lip and nodded, seeing Qi Zhongyu turned around and left, she hurriedly said, "Sir, you must be careful."

Qi Zhongyu turned around and smiled at her, walked to the edge of the stone road, and jumped down from the mountainside.

It was the first time for Luo Kanglin to see her jumping off a cliff, and she screamed in fright, crying, "Uncle, don't be too hard on yourself!"

Lu Dongfu: ...

She stepped forward to explain to him, and finally made Luo Kanglin understand that Qi Zhongyu didn't jump off a cliff just now, but took a shortcut.

There was a look of shock and admiration on his face, he wiped away his tears and thought: Uncle is so powerful, he will definitely be able to drive away those bad guys.

He went to the kitchen with Lu Dongfu to get some food, and then walked quickly into the deep mountains. While walking, he narrated what happened to Lu Dongfu, more detailed than when he told Qi Zhongyu just now, after all, he has calmed down now down.

After hearing this, Lu Dongfu was very worried. Fortunately, she knew Qi Zhongyu's ability well enough to deal with more than a dozen refugees. She couldn't think wildly and scare herself.

She said: "I see, don't worry, your uncle is very capable and will be fine."

Luo Kanglin is very convinced of his uncle's martial arts, but he is still worried about his parents and brother.

Then I thought that my aunt lived next door to his house, and there was no male in the house, so it must be very dangerous. I only hoped that my uncle would rescue my aunt and two young children.

Qi Zhongyu jumped off the cliff, his lightness kung fu was like a gust of wind, and he arrived at the foot of the mountain from the small courtyard in the blink of an eye.

She also saw the direction of Yuehe Village, the billowing smoke rising from all directions, and the flames rising into the sky, it seemed that not only Luo Zhenhai's family suffered, but the whole village should have been affected.

Her face was gloomy, and she suddenly thought of the second uncle's family. The second uncle was one of the richest households in the village and the head of the village. He must also be the target of these crazy refugees.

Thinking that something would happen to her second uncle, she immediately felt her scalp tingle, mobilized all the internal energy in her dantian, and rushed towards Yuehe Village at a faster speed than before.

The situation of Luo Zhenhai's family is critical, but the situation of the second uncle is also serious, and there is no delay.

She was alone, and the Luo family and the Qi family were on opposite sides of the village. It was impossible for her to save both families at the same time, so she had to choose to save one first.

Without any hesitation, she chose to save the second uncle's family first.

She apologized to Luo Zhenhai and the others with a heavy heart, but in her heart, Qi Changle was more important.

She was grateful to Qi Changgui for saving her life twice, and even pretended to be his son, and was taken care of by Qi Changle as if he were his own son.

She can't feel sorry for Qi Changgui, because after the death of her son and wife, Qi Changle is the relative that Qi Changgui cares most about.

If something happened to Qi Changle, she would never dare to show her identity as Qi Zhongyu for the rest of her life, and she would live forever in guilt and self-blame for the rest of her life!

She bit her lip, almost bleeding from it. After entering the village, she paused for a while, then rushed to the second uncle's house without stopping.

She didn't feel it just after looking at it from a distance, but when she really entered the village and saw the refugees running around, she realized the seriousness of the situation.

She had been staying on the mountain before, and she didn't know that there were so many refugees in Yuehe Village. There were only a few scattered people before, but now there are hundreds of people in a large area.

They turned the quiet and peaceful Yuehe Village into a purgatory on earth.

Yuehe Village is just a small village, with only a few hundred households in total, and the total number of people does not exceed two thousand, including the elderly, weak, women and children. If you really want to face these crazy refugees, the villagers will probably be at a disadvantage. .

The more she saw on the road and heard the helpless cries and curses of the villagers, the angrier she became.

She was like a broken bamboo, and soon arrived at the second uncle's house.

In the yard, I saw more refugees gathered here, and many refugees ran out of the yard with a lot of things in their arms.

She disregarded cleaning up these refugees, the living Qi Changle and the Qi family were the most important.

She immediately stepped on the shoulders of the refugees, jumped over these people, leaped over the courtyard wall, and entered the courtyard.

The refugees in the courtyard were strong and strong. When they saw Qi Zhongyu who suddenly fell from the sky, they were terrified, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?! What are you doing here?"

Qi Zhongyu talked nonsense to them lazily, and the refugees also saw that she was not a good person, so they jumped up and wanted to catch her, but her figure was as graceful as a ghost, like a gust of wind, passing lightly among the dense crowd, But no one grabbed a piece of her clothes.

The refugees really thought they had run into a ghost this time, exchanged glances with the people around them, and ran out in fright.

At this time, Qi Zhongyu had already arrived in the courtyard. The peaceful courtyard in the past was now in a mess, with cloth and food scattered everywhere.

A group of young and strong refugees laughed without scruple, and a few others sat on the stone bench with a big grin. They should be the leaders of these refugees, lazily sharing a few plates of pastries.

And those kneeling in front of them were the Qi family and several servants, even Qi Changle and Yao shi were among them.

Their hands were tied behind their backs with knots, and they were in a state of distress. Not only was there dust, but there were also bloodstains. Qi Changle's long silver-white hair, which was usually well-groomed, was now disheveled, and blood stuck to his cheeks.

And the injuries on his body are relatively light, Qi Anning and Qi Anhao are the most seriously injured, maybe they had the intention to resist just now, so now they are lying on the ground covered in blood, not knowing whether they are dead or alive.

Liao, the eldest sister-in-law of the Qi family, and Jiao, the fourth younger sibling, were crying helplessly.

Qi Zhongyu only took a glance, and the blood rushed straight to her forehead, buzzing. She took a deep breath, but her fists were already clenched.

The refugees also noticed the sudden appearance of a figure, and one of the men asked loudly: "Who are you? We have taken this yard, get out of here!"

A look of sternness flashed across Qi Zhongyu's eyes, and he kicked away the refugee closest to her, and easily sent the other refugees flying away. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the man who yelled at her just now, and grabbed his neck , lifting a man weighing about two hundred catties high with ease.

The man felt the suffocation on his neck, and only then did he realize that he was caught. His eyes showed a look of horror, and he said to himself: How is it possible? This person was still a few feet away from him just now. How could he be here? Appeared in front of him in an instant.

The other refugees present also had such doubts in their hearts. Looking at the accomplice lying on the ground, they didn't know how Qi Zhongyu made the move.

Gathering together at this moment, they have already realized that Qi Zhongyu's situation is not simple.

The leading man stood up from the stone bench, walked forward, and said: "The younger generation has eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, but still looks at senior Haihan."

Qi Zhongyu wanted to strangle them directly. For her, killing dozens of people was as easy as drinking water, but she thought of more temporarily, so she sneered and said, "Are you the leader of these refugees?"

The man nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'm Yan Lang, I can't be called a leader, I just want to take my brothers to eat and drink, I don't know the name of senior Gao."

"Unfortunately, Qi Zhongyu is here. The place where you are standing now is my second uncle's yard. The family you tortured just now is my second uncle's family. Tell me, how should I 'repay' you?"

Her voice was icy cold, full of murderous aura, as long as it was a normal person could see it.

Those refugees suddenly became frightened, obviously there was only one person in the other party, but they couldn't bear the heart of confrontation, they moved their steps one after another, and gradually stood behind Yan Lang.

Sweat also dripped from Yan Lang's forehead. The thin and fair young man in front of him looked too terrifying.

Those cold eyes fell on him directly, and he felt as if he was being stared at by a beast in the mountains, and his back was soaked in sweat.

Yan Lang swallowed

Shui Xin said: None of them heard that such a powerful martial arts master is hidden in such a small village. He also has a little kung fu, but just now he didn't even see how Qi Zhongyu did it.

This can only show that the other party's kung fu has reached perfection, to the extent that ordinary people can't match.

The physical fitness of the refugees present was only slightly better than the average person, and they were not opponents at all. If he said something wrong, his blood might be spattered on the spot.

He didn't want to die, so he rolled his eyes and said, "It's the juniors who don't know, that's why they offended me so much, I'll untie them right now."

As he spoke, he motioned to the followers behind him to untie the Qi family.

When they were arranging their actions tonight, they had already inquired about the situation in Yuehe Village in advance. The family headed by this family was the village chief, and Landlord Liu's family not far away was the wealthiest family in the village, so there must be no shortage of food.

Therefore, he assigned the most manpower before to attack these two families. Landlord Liu's house has many servants, which is a bit tricky, and the brothers are still attacking.

But the Qi family was easily conquered, but the old man was bored with the big truths he said, so he taught him a lesson, but he didn't want to kick him on the iron board.

How arrogant the refugees were just now, how scared they are now. After untying the Qi family, they hurriedly hid behind Yan Lang.

Qi Zhongyu threw the man in his hand to the side at will, and he threw it more than ten meters away. Everyone's eyes widened, and they swallowed again, and their bodies shrank, for fear of being treated like this by Qi Zhongyu.

She hurriedly walked in front of Qi Changle, helped the embarrassed Qi Changle, and said: "Second Uncle, I'm sorry, I was late."

Qi Changle shook his head, he is old, he encountered a catastrophe again today, he is still a little out of breath, but his face has calmed down, and he said with a smile: "No, Zhong Yu doesn't have to blame himself, you saved us. "

Qi Zhongyu looked at the other Qi family members and asked, "What should we do with these refugees?"

It seemed that she would do what Qi Changle said.

The refugees present couldn't help but cast fiery eyes on Qi Changle.

Qi Changle let out a long sigh, he also knew why these refugees were like this, in the final analysis, their lives were bad, otherwise no one would be willing to become a refugee.

Although he had been serving porridge at the entrance of Yuehe Village a few days ago, there were more and more refugees, some of whom had fled from the north. His strength alone was limited. Although he had prepared food in advance, it was still a drop in the bucket.

I also blame him for his imprudence, although he only thought of today in advance, but he kept thinking of luck, and in the end...

Today, even if his nephew kills these refugees, the group will not have a leader, and the crisis in Yuehe Village cannot be solved immediately; what's more, if his predictions are correct, more refugees will flood into Huainan Road in the future, and the situation will definitely worsen by then. Add confusion.

He was disheartened, shook his head and didn't think about it, he just wanted to solve the difficulty in front of him first.

He can't give up on the village. The attack this time is due to his dereliction of duty as the village head. He said: "Let them evacuate the village. Those who robbed the food, just rob it. I just hope they don't come near Yuehe Village again. .”

Qi Zhongyu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that such a treatment, but to those refugees, it was like an amnesty.

Yan Lang immediately said: "The village chief is really a good person, I will order them to go down and take them to Yuehe Village completely, and they will never set foot in this village again."

He led most of the refugees in Siyuan County, and it wasn't just Yuehe Village that was besieged this time. Refugees also went to besiege several other villages, but Yuehe Village was the closest to Siyuan County, so he chose to stay in Yuehe Village.

Before, he thought about occupying the courtyard of Landlord Liu's house and making it their residence, but now that Qi Zhongyu with unfathomable martial arts appeared, he had to think about it again.

The group of them dared not face the unpredictable Qi Zhongyu, put down the things they had snatched and were about to leave, but were stopped by Qi Zhongyu.

Their scalps were numb, Yan Lang forced a smile and said, "I don't know what else to order, Senior?"

Qi Zhongyu said coldly:

"My second uncle is easy to talk, but I am not so easy to deal with. In order to ensure your work efficiency, I have to leave something for you."

As she said that, she took out the poison from her purse, ignored the refugees fleeing in panic, grabbed them all and forcibly fed the poison.

Then he clapped his hands and said: "This is my special poison. I am the only one in the world who can unravel it. Now you take your subordinates to drive the refugees out of the village. After the matter is settled, I will give it to you." You distribute the antidote."

Yan Lang rubbed his neck with an ugly face, and his abdomen really started to hurt. He didn't dare to waste time, so he hurriedly took his brothers out to tell the refugees to leave, and some refugees who were robbed madly refused to obey the discipline, and were violently beaten by him.

He couldn't deal with Qi Zhongyu, and it was impossible that he couldn't even deal with a thin refugee.

Because the crisis of life was in front of him, he didn't dare to slack off at all.

Qi Zhongyu heard part of the movement, breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to Qi Changle, and said, "Second Uncle, forgive me, this will solve the plight of Yuehe Village faster."

Qi Changle said: "No, your method is very good, hey, Second Uncle is too naive."

Qi Zhongyu said: "Second Uncle is kind and kind, to be honest, this time it was my third brother-in-law's son who asked for help on the mountain, and I just learned that something happened in Yuehe Village. Since Second Uncle and you are safe, I have to go to the third Brother-in-law's house, sorry."

Qi Changle was stunned, he never thought of asking Qi Zhongyu for help, because he didn't want to involve his nephew, but his nephew came to save them first.

With a gentle expression, he said, "It's okay, go quickly, I'll let your elder brother..."

He originally wanted his eldest son to go with him, maybe he could help, but seeing the blood all over his body, he was speechless.

In the final analysis, it's not good for him to be a father, and he shouldn't argue with the refugee leader. Those refugees just wanted to teach him a lesson. Qi Anning and Qi Anhao couldn't just watch him being beaten, so they stood up and fought against them.

But the two of them are both scholars after all. Where are the opponents of those refugees, they were beaten and injured all over. If the servant hadn't stood up and bowed and apologized, those refugees might have...

Seeing that the second uncle frowned, Qi Zhongyu took out the medicine bottle from his purse, handed it over and said, "Second uncle, these two bottles are plasters to treat trauma, and the other two bottles are pills, which can protect the heart and relieve pain. Uncle will take it for them, time is running out, so I will leave first."

Qi Changle said: "Okay, let's go."

Qi Zhongyu nodded, then hurriedly left the courtyard, and quickly rushed to Luo Zhenhai's house with Qinggong.

Luo Zhenhai's house was some distance away from the second uncle's house, and it took her half an hour to get there without squinting. She found that the loss here was even more severe than that of the second uncle's house. At least the yard of the second uncle's house was intact, but Luo Zhenhai's house had already been burned to the ground. Burnt black.

Her heart tightened, she didn't see the refugees around, she should have left after grabbing her things.

She rushed into the yard in a hurry, and saw several people lying in the yard. She gasped for breath, and quickly stepped forward to check their pulses.

Luo Zhenhai was the most seriously injured, his breathing was a little weak, but he was still alive.

Luo Kangqiao, the eldest son of Lu Sanya and Luo Zhenhai, was just knocked out, and he was fine after waking up.

She breathed a sigh of relief, carried him to the open space outside the yard, and went to Lu Daya's yard without caring about other things. The fire burned most of the yard, which was the part close to Luo's house. .

She didn't find anyone in the yard, so she called out Lu Daya's name, and kicked open the door to search one by one. Halfway through, she heard crying from the main room, and walked up quickly. Seeing that the door was closed tightly, he forcefully removed the door, and found Lu Daya and the other three in the corner of the room.

Lu Daya's eyes were red and swollen, and she was still shivering, holding two crying children in her arms, and looked at Qi Zhongyu with a bit of fear in her eyes.

It wasn't until he recognized her that he breathed a sigh of relief, and passed out as soon as he rolled his eyes.

Qi Zhongyu: ...

She could only hug the three of them to the side of Luo Zhenhai's family, but stay here

There was no way to go, so she went to tear down a courtyard door, put a group of people on it, held it up and walked towards the second uncle's house.

Because she was walking slowly, she paid attention to the movement on both sides of the road, and saw that refugees had indeed evacuated Yuehe Village in large numbers, but the villagers were timid and did not dare to go out to check.

There were also some who acted recklessly in the village. Qi Zhongyu measured the distance with his eyes, and when she was close to her, she kicked a stone at random and knocked people unconscious.

The distance is too far, and she can't control it for the time being, so she can't leave Luo Zhenhai and others behind, and go to clean up these refugees.

And these refugees also winked, knowing that she was not easy to mess with, seeing that she was running faster than a rabbit, so Qi Zhongyu returned to Qi's house all the way without hindrance.

Second Aunt Yao recovered and took her to a guest room to put her down. She took out a medicine bottle from her purse and began to treat Luo Zhenhai and others.

After bandaging Luo Zhenhai's wound, she went to the main room, and saw Qi Changle with a dejected expression.

He learned from his mouth that the Liao family and the Jiao family were taking care of their seriously injured husband-in-law, the second aunt was taking care of the frightened grandchildren, and the servants were crying to clean up the mess in the yard.

Qi Changle sighed, and said sadly: "It's my fault, I didn't detect the intention of the refugees in advance, so I'll go and apologize to the villagers."

Qi Zhongyu said: "Second Uncle, you are the village chief, not a god. It's normal for them to attack the village if you don't know. Moreover, most of the refugees have evacuated now, and everything is fine now."

Qi Changle looked at her, lowered his head again, and said, "It's getting late, Zhong Yu, you've been running around for most of the night, go lie down and rest in the house."

Qi Zhongyu originally wanted to refuse, because she had to go back to the mountain to find Lu Dongfu.

But when she saw that the second uncle was exhausted, she said, "Second uncle, I'll take you back to your room to rest. What's the matter when you wake up tomorrow?"

Qi Changle smiled wryly, nodded, and was supported by Qi Zhongyu back to the room to lie down. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and his body was in pain from the beating. He hadn't been beaten for many years.

And in the village, they were robbed of food, and then they had to go door to door to appease them...

He had a lot of worries and troubles to think about, but after all he was old and stayed up most of the night, and now he was tired and sleepy, and fell asleep without knowing it.

At this time, Qi Zhongyu had already ordered the servant with red and swollen eyes to close the door, and she left Yuehe Village and ran towards Yuenan Mountain.

She went deep into the mountains, and finally found Lu Dongfu and Luo Kanglin who were hiding in the hidden cave according to the marks she had set when playing with Lu Dongfu.

When she stepped forward, she startled Lu Dongfu, and asked tremblingly, "Who?"

"it's me."

Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, he got up and ran to her, seeing that she was safe and sound, he stretched out his hand to hug her.

Qi Zhongyu patted Lu Dongfu's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "Thank you, lady."

Lu Dongfu's eyes were red, and she said, "It's not hard work, the husband is the one. He must have been traveling for a long time."

Luo Kanglin also staggered forward, and asked worriedly, "Uncle, my parents..."

"Don't worry, although they have suffered a little bit, fortunately, there is nothing serious, and they will be fine after a period of recuperation."

Luo Kanglin breathed a sigh of relief, but tears fell down in a flash.

Qi Zhongyu said: "Let's go back to the yard to clean up. I'll take you down the mountain to Qi's house. Kang Lin, your parents are also placed in Qi's house. I guess we will live in Qi's house for a few days. You all stay together. , and it’s also convenient for me to protect you.”

She didn't want to have to choose between the two again. This time, she was lucky, and the refugees were not too vicious, so Luo Zhenhai's family was not killed or injured, and even the female relatives were not ruined.

If the imperial court does not come forward to resolve this matter, the situation will only get worse. By then...it is not impossible for people to eat people, or even change their children to eat.

The 41 years of Xuan'an is the best precedent.

She took Lu Dongfu and Luo Kanglin back to the yard first, took some change of clothes and some food, and went to

Yuehe Village rushed over.

Yan Lang's work efficiency is good. She didn't see too many refugees outside the village or even in the village on this trip, and she must have been taken away by Yan Lang.

There were only a few sporadically, and they were still acting recklessly. Qi Zhongyu broke their necks this time when he was free, killed them, and threw them outside the village to lay them on the ground to warn other refugees.

Did the refugees see it? She didn't pay attention. Instead, the villagers saw her movements and crawled back into the house in fright.

Qi Zhongyu didn't care, took Lu Dongfu's hand, and sent her and Luo Kanglin to Qi's house.

Luo Kanglin was a little scared, and Qi Zhongyu said sorry in her heart. She didn't want to kill people in front of the children, but the situation forced her to kill chickens to make an example, so as to deter refugees.She sent Luo Kanglin to the guest room where Luo Zhenhai was placed, and they didn't wake up. She briefly explained the situation of everyone to Luo Kanglin, told him not to worry, and took Lu Dongfu to their exclusive bedroom in Qi's house.

She originally wanted to boil water to take a bath, but it was so late and it was too troublesome, so she fetched a basin of water, wiped herself with a wet kerchief, changed into the clothes she brought, and lay on the bed.

Lu Dongfu leaned over and said softly, "Master, I know what you did was right, they deserve to die."

Qi Zhongyu looked at her with a smile, held the little girl in his arms, and said: "I know, don't worry, I won't feel guilty for killing people, as long as I can protect you well. It's late, don't think too much, no matter Whatever happened, I was there."

Lu Dongfu responded, and the two hugged each other, smelling each other's familiar smell, and gradually fell asleep.

They slept until the next afternoon before waking up slowly.

After washing up, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu went to visit the nearest Luo Zhenhai and others.

Seeing that Lu Sanya and Lu Daya had woken up, Lu Sanya was taking care of Luo Zhenhai who was still unconscious by the bedside, while Lu Daya was taking care of the two frightened children.

Seeing their red and swollen eyes, Qi Zhongyu knew that they had cried before.

Lu Dongfu stepped forward and said, "Eldest sister, third sister, luckily you are all right."

Lu Daya said: "Thanks to the second brother-in-law for saving me."

Lu Sanya also choked up her thanks.

Qi Zhongyu said: "I went there in a hurry yesterday, and I don't know what happened. Do you remember what happened at that time?"

Lu Daya said: "I remember, yesterday I had dinner at my third sister-in-law's house, and then I took Ruru and Xiaohu home, and went to bed early as usual, and in the middle of the night, I heard the messy knocking on the door." , I couldn’t sleep, so I ran to the gate of the courtyard and took a look through the gap, and saw refugees running around, grabbing torches and burning around.”

With a frightened expression on her face, she said: "Someone came forward and kicked the door. I ran back to the house in fright. I didn't dare to run out, and I knew they would rush in soon. The bedroom is not safe because there are too many things." , the kitchen is not safe, so I took Ruru and Xiaohu and hid in the corner of the main room."

"Not long after, a lot of refugees rushed in. They were rummaging around, and some people came in the main room, but the main room was empty, there was not even a table, they couldn't find anything, and they didn't notice the corner. We, maybe they saw it and didn't care, and ran out again."

Afterwards, she didn't dare to make a sound, and kept holding Ruru and Xiaohu in the main room. The smell of smoke in the air was getting stronger and stronger, and Xiaohu cried out from choking. Tell him not to cry too loudly.

Until she heard the sound again, she was already dizzy and couldn't hear clearly, and she was trembling with her two children in her arms.

Fortunately, the visitor this time was Qi Zhongyu, she fainted as soon as she relaxed, and was at Qi's house when she woke up.

After Qi Zhongyu heard about it, he sighed, "Elder Sister is quick-witted. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a catastrophe."

In comparison, Luo Zhenhai's side is much miserable.

Qi Zhongyu had learned the general story from Luo Kanglin last night, which was almost the same as what Lu Sanya said.

It's just a little weird,

That is, Lu Sanya said that those refugees seemed to know in advance that there was a lot of grain stockpiled in the house, so after searching the entire yard but couldn't find it, they beat Luo Zhenhai and asked him about the whereabouts of the grain.

Luo Zhenhai is a stubborn man, so of course he didn't want to say it when he was treated like this.

But those refugees threatened with their wives and children, and Luo Zhenhai revealed the cellar where the food was hidden. The refugees were quite aggrieved after taking the food, so they beat him up again, saying that it would be all right if they handed it over earlier.

Hearing this, Luo Kanglin clenched his fists tightly, walked in front of Qi Zhongyu, no longer afraid that she would kill someone last night, but said with burning eyes: "Uncle, I want to practice martial arts with you in the future."

Qi Zhongyu responded and said, "Okay, I will teach you when your father wakes up."

She comforted the crowd and asked Lu Dongfu to go to the kitchen to cook and deliver the meal. Lu Daya volunteered to help, and Qi Zhongyu made arrangements with them.

She then went to visit Qi Anning and Qi Anhao. The two of them were also beaten up by refugees, but their injuries were not as serious as Luo Zhenhai's. They woke up once halfway through, and fell asleep after eating some porridge.

The eldest sister-in-law Liao and her four siblings got up and came forward to thank her, Qi Zhongyu hurriedly waved her hands, saying that this was what she should do.

At the same time, she also learned that her second uncle hadn't woken up yet. After thinking about it, she planned to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, and then visit her second aunt after eating.

She met a few servants of the Qi family in the kitchen. They were usually in charge of running errands. They didn't have too strong force, so they didn't help the Lord's family yesterday.

Now that I feel guilty, I show more performance, not only tidy up the yard, but after waking up from sleep, I start to clean up the mess in the kitchen.

There are also two servants who are good cooks, helping Lu Dongfu cook.

When they saw Qi Zhongyu coming, they hurried forward to thank him, Qi Zhongyu said no thanks, and moved to Lu Dongfu's side, saying: "My lady, I'm hungry."

Lu Dongfu was making dinner, and said, "Master, wait for a while, and dinner will be served."

Qi Zhongyu had nothing to do, so he rolled up his sleeves and split the firewood. After the splitting, he fetched a few buckets of water, intending to take a bath after eating.

After finishing all these tasks, the food was ready, she brought the food to the second uncle first, and the other servants delivered the food to others.

When he arrived at the bedroom, the second uncle had already woken up and was washing his hands. His eyes were still dark and black, and his energy was a little weak. When he saw Qi Zhongyu coming, he cheered up and said, "You're here. It just so happens that I have something to look for you."

Qi Zhongyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "I also have something to say to my second uncle, but let's eat first. I just brought two bowls of rice."

Qi Changle smiled and said, "Okay."

The two of them put the bowls and chopsticks on the table. After eating face to face, they put the bowls and chopsticks on the tray and did not take them to the kitchen.

Qi Changle sighed, and said: "Zhong Yu, you have been living on the mountain, so you don't know that there have been a lot of refugees coming into Siyuan County recently, and not only Siyuan County, but also several other counties under Haozhou Prefecture are in the same situation. , and even the entire Huainan Road."

"Some of these refugees came downstream to beg for a living because of the Qiyang River's embankment failure; some had to travel south because of the drought in the north and the court mishandled it... Moreover, this should be just the beginning. The drought in the north was severe and the fields were barren. , there will be more refugees coming in, and by then..."

Qi Zhongyu lowered her eyes, she realized the seriousness of the matter.

If the court is reliable, it may be able to change the status quo, but the court is even more stupid than ten years ago. The prince and ministers only want to fight for the throne, and it is time to use money to employ people. How can they care about the countless Li people.

Perhaps when one of them stands out and inherits the throne, he will free up his hands to stabilize the hearts of the people.

However, none of these adult princes are fuel-efficient lamps; behind King Yu there are Concubine An and Great Eunuch Zhou Xiang; stay for a few years...

Qi Zhongyu estimated that it would take at least a few years before the
