Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 381 Bandits are coming

Daniu Ale hurriedly put down his hoe, squatted down and quickly planted the few corn seedlings left in the basket.

Upon learning that the bandits were heading towards the village, several people squatted on the ground and seemed to be working in a hurry.

In a short while, they had planted all the corn seedlings.

Everyone packed up their farm tools and started running towards home.

An Yue ran and arranged: "Daniu Ale, when you two go back, remember to hide the location and entrance of the cellar properly, don't let anyone see it."

"Grandma, when you get home, you must close the gate and put the chili powder and lime powder you prepared in a convenient place."

Daniu asked worriedly, "Miss, you... you won't go home with us?"

"No, I have to go check what's going on."

Ale volunteered, "Miss, let Ale accompany you!"

"Ale, you and Daniu just need to guard the house."

"But……"

"You have seen me fight with bandits before, so don't worry!"

......

Afterwards, they went straight back home, while An Yue ran towards the west end of the village.

After running a few steps, I saw the village chief leading a group of men coming from the west end of the village from afar.

An Yue turned around and saw a group of bandits approaching the village on the road east of the village.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there were only about thirty people coming this time, and the battle was completely different from the last time.

The village chief took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic, let's see what they want to do first."

The bandits stopped when they reached the east end of the village.

Then, a man in their lead shouted, "Is there a girl named Chunzhi in your village?"

An Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at it carefully.

She scratched her head and muttered, "Hiss...I don't even recognize this person?"

"Yueyue, if I remember correctly, I seem to remember that the female servant in your house was called Chunzhi, right?"

The bandit not far away asked again: "Is there anyone named Chunzhi?"

An Yue frowned and said in confusion: "Uncle, Chunzhi's previous name was not Chunzhi. I gave her this name myself after she came to my house."

"The meaning at that time was that we hoped she would be reborn and start over like a branch in spring, so we named her Chunzhi."

"Then this..." The village chief pointed at the bandits not far away with a confused look on his face.

"How about we first ask them what they want from Chunzhi?" An Yue tilted her head to seek the village chief's opinion.

The village chief thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, that's fine. Yueyue must not go over there. Just ask here."

After An Yue responded, she turned around and asked loudly, "What do you want to see Chunzhi about?"

"We are looking for Chunzhi, but not just Chunzhi. She and her daughter saved my brother's family of three..."

After hearing this, An Yue remembered that she had indeed rescued a family of three in a cave near the village.

"Harue and I did save someone who was infected with the disease not long ago, but I'm not sure if it was the person you mentioned."

"The girl was rescued in a cave?"

"Yes."

The leading bandit laughed and said, "That's right!"

An Yue asked quickly: "What do you want to do here today?"

The leading bandit said with a smile on his face, "Don't be afraid, young lady. We are here to repay your kindness. We specially send you some small gifts to express our gratitude."

An Yue still had some doubts in her heart, and said, "We don't need any repayment, you guys go back!"

"I know that the girl is a kind person, but we came all the way here to send her a gift, and she refused to accept it. I have no way to report to her when I return!"

An Yue thought that there were many people in her family and they were short of food, so what was wrong with accepting the gifts they insisted on giving her?

So she paused, then spoke loudly, "Put down the gifts first, then step back ten steps, and don't move, so as not to disturb the villagers."

The bandits followed An Yue's instructions and placed the gifts on the ground. The leader said, "Don't worry, young lady. We have no ill intentions."

As he retreated, he said, "It's just that there are people on the mountain who are infected with the disease. We came here today mainly to repay our gratitude, and secondly, we also want to ask the girl who knows medicine to go to the mountain with us."

An Yue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied: "So you are not here just to repay your gratitude, this is your main purpose!"

The man wanted to explain, but couldn't explain clearly: "No, that's not what I meant. It's that..."

He couldn't help but raise his hand and slap his mouth a few times, saying: "Ouch! I'm dumb and can't speak. Anyway, I came here sincerely to repay the favor, but I also want to ask the girl for help again!"

"Let me think about this for a while. Please wait for a while. I will give you an answer in half an hour."

"Okay, okay, then we will all wait for the girl here."

After the leading bandit finished speaking, he ordered the bandits behind him to stand there and wait.

An Yue walked to where the gifts were placed and checked them with the village chief.

There was a lot of food in the cloth bag, and there were a few freshly hunted wild rabbits on the ground.

After seeing the gift, the village chief was moved: "I didn't expect this to be a good fate."

The village chief remembered what the bandit had just said, that An Yue should go to the mountain, and he became a little worried.

"However, Yueyue, although this matter seems good, we must also be more vigilant. Bandits are bandits after all, and cannot be completely trusted."

An Yue nodded gently: "Uncle, Yue Yue naturally knows this."

"Girl, you can't easily agree to this bandit's request. The epidemic situation in the mountains is unknown. What if you encounter any danger?"

"I heard their sincere words. You also said that the people on the mountain are all villagers from various villages. If we can really save a life, it can be considered a good deed."

The village chief couldn't persuade An Yue, so he compromised and said, "Although they are bandits, they didn't rob our village. Since Yue Yue wants to go, then take your servant with you!"

Seeing the village chief relax, An Yue said with a smile: "Well, okay."

Then, the village chief turned to his son Li Jing and said, "Jing'er, help An Yue deliver the gifts sent by the bandits to her home."

"Okay, Dad." After Li Jing responded, he bent down to pick up the hare on the ground.

The village chief led the villagers to stand aside and wait.

When An Yue returned home, she briefly informed her family of what had happened.

After hearing this, Chunzhi was surprised and said, "Miss, I never thought that what I did that day would have such a reward."

The aunt looked at the big fat rabbits on the ground and said with joy, "Oh, how wonderful! Wow, these big fat rabbits are really good. It really is true that good people are rewarded!"

Zhou on the side rolled her eyes at her daughter-in-law, as if blaming her for talking nonsense.
