Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 236: No, the bandits have entered the village

After the dumplings were cooked, everyone gathered in the main room, eating the steaming dumplings and roasting them in warm charcoal pots, happily feeling the New Year atmosphere. Everyone also changed into new clothes.

"I got some copper coins!" Jiang Jingyi showed the copper coins she got.

"Oh! Congratulations! Good luck in the new year." Liu Shuyue congratulated with a smile.

"Thank you!" Jiang Jingyi thanked from the bottom of her heart. Here, she felt the strong atmosphere of the New Year and was extremely happy.

"Well, I ate it too! How come there is more? Isn't there only one copper coin?"

“I ate it, too.”

"Grandma, you packed one for each of us!"

"Really? Didn't I only put one? Grandma is a little confused, haha! In the new year, I wish everyone good luck and prosperity!" Liu Shuyue said happily.

"Then let's do one! Happy New Year to everyone!"

"Happy New Year!"

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Lu Mingchuan and Liu Shuyue took out a red envelope and handed it to Yinuo: "Yinuo, you are one year older. Grandpa and grandma wish you health and happiness."

"Thank you, grandpa and grandma, and I wish you all the best."

Yinuo thanked him and said auspicious words.

"Whirlwind, this is for you."

"Thank you, uncle and aunt!" Xuanfeng had almost forgotten the last time he received a red envelope.

"And Xiaolian, this is yours." Liu Shuyue also took out one and handed it to Jiang Jingyi.

"Me too?" She reached out to take it. She missed her parents a little. She didn't know what was going on at home. She missed home.

"Well, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you! I wish you and your parents good health."

It’s not the quantity of a red envelope that matters, what matters is the thought behind it.

Yao Qingnian and others all received red envelopes from the old couple.

After receiving the red envelope, everyone happily sat in the main room playing checkers to kill time and celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.

After midnight, people in the village began to set off firecrackers one after another, "crackling, crackling", which meant bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, sending away the misfortunes of the past year and welcoming the good omen of the new year.

After the firecrackers were set off, everyone went to sleep. In the quiet night, you could occasionally hear the sound of firecrackers coming from afar...

At the hour of Chou, when everyone was sleeping, there were suddenly the sounds of horse hooves, smashing and shouting. Someone shouted, "Oh no! Bandits have entered the village! Wake up!" At the entrance of the village came the sound of rapid gong beating, "clang, clang", breaking the silence of the night.

Yao Qingnian quickly got up from the bed, feeling very upset. He was woken up just after falling asleep. What kind of world is this? Is it impossible for people to survive? The life-saving food crisis was finally resolved, but now the bandits are here again.

As she left the house, she heard shouting outside.

"Qing Nian, you stay home, I'll go take a look!!"

Lu Huaijin took his sword and rushed out of the yard, asking Yao Qingnian to close the gate.

"Well, be careful, and come back if you can't."

"Xuanfeng, you stay and protect my wife and the others." Lu Huaijin was worried about Yao Qingnian and the others, so he asked Xuanfeng to stay.

"Yes, Master!"

"No need, you take him with you, I can protect my family." Yao Qingnian had no problem protecting his family, but he was alone and didn't know the situation at the village entrance, so it would be better for him to take someone with him.

"Okay, Tornado, let's go!" Lu Huaijin ran out of the yard without hesitation.

After everyone left, Yao Qingnian told Liu Shuyue and the others to go back to sleep and not to come out no matter what noise they heard.

"Yao Qingnian, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jingyi was also woken up.

"Bandits have entered the village! You are injured, go in and rest! Just don't come out and cause trouble." Jiang Jingyi was a little annoyed. Why was she injured at this time? If bandits came in, she would not be able to protect herself. So she obediently listened and went back to the house.

After seeing that everyone had gone back, Yao Qingnian took out his old partner, the crossbow, from the space, jumped onto the roof, and found a hidden position where he could see the situation at the gate of the courtyard.

She stood on the roof and saw from afar people riding horses and holding torches, as well as the sound of swords clashing.

After a while, the voice came towards her.

The people in the village had nowhere to hide, so they could only run here. All the villagers and refugees in the village came here. Yao Qingnian quickly jumped off the roof and met up with Lu Huaijin and others.

"Everyone go to the workshop next to my house." Lu Huaijin said loudly.

All the villagers rushed into Yao Qingnian's workshop. Except for the young and middle-aged men in the village and the men who had been to the battlefield, all the women and children came in.

"Please save my daughter! I beg you!" Widow Wang's daughter was captured. She knelt down and cried loudly, begging Lu Huaijin and others to save her daughter.

"Go in first, don't worry! I promise you, I will do my best to save your daughter."

"I won't go in! I'll go with you!" Her husband is gone, and her daughter is her life. If something happens to her daughter, she will not live.

Yao Qingnian ignored her and approached Lu Huaijin and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"There are two groups of bandits, about 30 people, who are burning, killing and looting. Several villagers have been killed."

"These beasts kill anyone they see and steal anything they see."

Lu Daqing cursed with a big knife in his hand.

"Fight them!"

"Let's fight!" The villagers were full of determination and had no intention of retreating.

"It's not worth fighting them."

Seeing the bandits coming, the few people didn't even have time to discuss countermeasures. "They are numerous and powerful. If we attack directly, the villagers may suffer casualties. Let's do this..." Yao Qingnian whispered a few words beside him.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw several bandit leaders riding horses over, followed by two teams of people holding chickens, ducks, etc. in their hands. There were also several girls on horseback. They held torches and set fire to some houses.

"Dongmei!" Widow Wang wanted to step forward but was stopped by Yao Qingnian.

"Do you want to save your daughter? If you do, just listen to me!"

Widow Wang nodded obediently and stood aside, staring at her daughter on horseback.

Seeing Lu Huaijin and his men blocking the road, the bandit leader pulled the reins and stopped: "You guys, a bunch of mud legs, dare to block my way. If you know what's good for you, hand over the silver and the woman, and I can spare your lives today."

"You son of a bitch, if you want the money you have to get past me first!" Lu Daqing shouted while holding a machete. His momentum overwhelmed the bandits by so many points that those who didn't know him would have thought he was the bandit leader!

"Brother, what kind of gang are you from? Your personality suits my taste. If you follow me, I guarantee you'll have a good life." The bandit leader saw Lu Daqing's look and showed admiration in his eyes. He wanted to incite him to rebel. Yao Qingnian wanted to laugh.

"Bah! I'm going to jail with you?"

"Don't toast and eat as a penalty!"

"You're a grown man, but why are you acting like a little wife? You're so talkative!" Lu Daqing said impatiently.

"Brother, why are you wasting time talking to him? Just kill him! It's getting late, hurry up! I think the house next door is good, I'm afraid there are a lot of good things, I leave it to you, I'll go in and take a look." The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man next to the bandit leader took a fancy to Yao Qingnian's yard at first sight...
