Chapter 349 The Peddler Comes to Report
"Yes, no one was injured here. Only Mr. Li's family lost a carriage. This is a blessing in disguise."
"Mom, be content with what you have."
Zhang also laughed when she heard this.
"Mom, I've been busy all this time and I'm a little sleepy. I want to take a nap."
"Yiyi, then go to sleep. I'll wake you up and eat when the meal is ready in the morning."
"Thank you, mother."
After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she went to the carriage to change into a set of clean clothes, and then went to bed.
"Aunt, I'm going to bed too."
"Okay, Zirui, if you're tired, go to bed quickly."
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, do you want to go back to sleep? It's still a while before dawn."
"Mom, I can't sleep."
"Mom, do you want to prepare dinner? I'll help you."
"Mom, I'm going to go take a look at the village chief."
Zhang waved her hand, "Okay, if you don't want to sleep, do whatever you want.
Zhang took the eldest and second brothers Yun to cook.
Brother Yun San ran to the village chief's house.
There are many torches lit in the woods now, and many people in the village are not sleeping, but gathered together to chat.
Many people gathered at the village chief's house.
At Qingfeng Village, Li Huailiang also brought his soldiers to clean up the entire Qingfeng Village.
Now all the bandits in the mountain stronghold are dead. Li Huailiang led his men to dig several large pits in the woods next to the back door of Qingfeng Village and buried all the bandits in them.
Of course, Li Huailiang finally counted the number of bandits and found that there were only more than 400 of them.
The missing bandits were not among the bandits. Otherwise, their clearing operation would not have been so smooth.
Therefore, Li Huailiang was very surprised when he counted the food and money in the mountain stronghold warehouse.
He originally thought that the food and money robbed by the bandits had been transferred to other places, but he didn't expect that there was still so much left.
In addition, Li Huailiang also sent people to open the dungeon and release the passers-by who were captured by the bandits.
Just wait until dawn, give them some food and money, and let them leave Qingfeng Village.
"General, after daybreak, should we leave here and return directly, or should we leave some people behind to guard Qingfeng Village?"
Li Huailiang thought for a moment and said, "Let's not set out after daybreak. I think those bandits who left the mountain stronghold will come back."
"So, I plan to stay in Qingfeng Village for a few more days. If no bandits come back, we can leave some more people in the village."
"The rest of you will return to our base."
"Also, arrange for people to go back down the mountain and ask everyone who is left down the mountain to come to Qingfeng Village."
"My subordinates will make arrangements now."
"Okay, send someone to Shilin Town to notify them. Tell them that the bandits in Qingfeng Village have been wiped out, and there will be no one blocking the way south from now on."
"By the way, don't forget to have our people pretend to be peddlers and go to the refugee group outside Shilin Town to inform them."
"Let's make the arrangements now. It will save the refugees from living in fear every day."
"I will arrange it right away."
Li Huailiang waited until everyone left, then he sat down and wrote a note. He then put it into a bamboo tube and let the carrier pigeon waiting outside take it away.
However, we still don’t know in which direction the leader of the village escaped.
In case they fled in the direction of Shilin Town, we don’t know if any refugees were injured. The key point is that we don’t know whether the young master is safe.
Although he sent people over, he still couldn't help feeling worried.
Even though he hadn't slept all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all. There were still many things in the village that needed his attention, and he had no time to sleep.
It will soon be bright.
The village chief has already taken more than a dozen people from the village and drove to the town to inquire about the news.
The Yun family, Yun the butcher and Old Man Wu next door all followed the village chief to the town to inquire about the news.
Zhang woke up Yun Yiyi and everyone was eating around the dining table.
"Yiyi, what are your plans for today? By the way, your father went to the town with the village chief to get information."
Yun Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Mom, we won't go up the mountain this morning. I'll just help you with the work at home."
Zhang laughed, "Okay, then go if you don't want to. It's a good time to rest at home."
"By the way, Brother Zirui, do you think those peddlers will come here to sell things today?"
"Yiyi, don't worry, they will definitely come today."
"That's good."
"Mom, let's first pack out the yams, persimmons, and rabbits we want to sell. When the peddler comes, we can sell them directly to him."
“Okay, Mom will clean up after dinner.
"Mom, my second brother and I will help you clean up. It will be done soon."
"it is good."
After dinner, Zhang took Brother Yun (Eldest Brother) and Brother Yun (Second Brother) to pack up.
Brother Yun San went to catch up on his sleep.
Yun Yiyi was helping Xie Zirui learn Chinese characters. They had been going up the mountain every day recently and hadn't learned any new characters for several days.
It was soon noon, and the village chief and Yun the butcher had not returned from the town yet.
Zhang prepared the meal and ate with the children.
Suddenly, two peddlers came over carrying loads on their shoulders.
"Sister, we brought a lot of new things today. They are cheap and practical. Would you like to buy some?"
The peddler walking in front said enthusiastically.
Zhang stood up quickly and went to meet him. "Okay, what good things did you bring today? Take them out and let me see."
Then, Zhang said to Brother Yun San who was standing next to her, "Brother San, go to Grandma Wu's house next door and tell everyone in the village that the peddler is coming with good stuff."
"Mom, I'll go now." After saying this, Brother Yun San ran away.
The peddler opened the load and let Zhang choose for herself. When she saw something she liked, she took it out and put it aside, while the peddler quoted her the price.
After a while, Grandma Wu and many other people from the village came over.
Everyone gathered around the peddlers, and the scene suddenly became lively.
Another peddler took advantage of the chaos and pulled Xie Zirui aside. Yun Yiyi also followed.
"Young Master, most of the bandits in Qingfeng Village were wiped out last night. However, the number of bandits doesn't add up. It is estimated that some of them are out and have not returned to the village."
"Then can we continue on our way? Will anyone block us on the official road below Qingfeng Village?"
The peddler smiled and said, "Don't worry, little girl. It's very safe there recently. As long as you pack up, you can leave at any time."
"By the way, our village also caught two bandits who came to steal the carriage yesterday. However, they were taken away by the people stationed in front."
"What? Bandits came to steal the carriage in your village last night?"
The peddler shouted in surprise, but then he felt something was wrong and lowered his voice.
