Mrs. Wen first asked her daughter if she was injured?

They were all bandits who were robbing families and homes. How could they suddenly be so obedient and obey Xiao Nian's orders?

Xiao Nian must have done something to them...

Wen didn't care what those bandits went through, she only cared about what her daughter went through, was she bullied by the bandits?

The little nun looked at her doubtfully, "Why am I hurt?"

Wen was almost asked by her.

She explained patiently, "Mom, seeing that those bandits suddenly listened to you so much, are you afraid that you might fight with them?"

"Did they hurt you?"

The little nun thought carefully about what happened last night...

fight?

When Li Hu wants to arrest her, does it count as a fight?

It shouldn’t count, right?

After all, she didn’t hit Li Hu, and she didn’t hit him when he fell into a branch!

The little nun shook her head and responded obediently, "There was no fight, Almsgiver Wen."

In other words, the daughter was not injured.

Mrs. Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

She continued to ask, "Then how come they listen to you so much, and are they going to follow us to escape?"

"Don't you want to be a bandit anymore?"

The little nun answered truthfully, "Because they are my little brothers now."

As for whether they are still bandits?

The little nun doesn’t know, and she doesn’t care!

Mrs. Wen wanted to ask again, but the little nun didn't want to answer. She held the small blanket covering her body and sat down to the side.

The meaning is as obvious as possible.

When Wen saw this...

Regardless, Xiao Nian is not a talkative person, so as long as those bandits won't hurt her, she'll be relieved.

As for those bandits who want to flee with them...

The village chief didn't say anything, so she didn't need to worry.

The escape team walked all morning.

Maybe it was because we rested early last night, so no one complained of being tired during the journey, but they all visibly collapsed on the ground after the stop.

Now we are getting closer to the county seat, and there are more and more refugees on the road.

On the way, the village chief asked strong men to guard the front, rear and both sides of the team to prevent refugees from robbing them of their things.

The villagers also hid their food in the innermost parts of their bags as they did yesterday to avoid being noticed.

But this method is also useful when traveling.

When they stopped to prepare lunch, they had to take out the food, and the refugees passing by saw what they were eating.

Since there were many strong men in the Xingshan Village team, the refugees did not dare to grab them at first, so they followed their team silently.

Until after dark.

The village chief asked the villagers to stop and rest.

Everyone started cooking dinner again, and the refugees around them started to move around.

The village chief asked everyone to finish dinner quickly and hide the remaining food, and also asked everyone to strengthen self-defense tonight.

After that, he came to Hua Xiaonian.

In the morning, the village chief also saw the bandits following Hua Xiaonian.

Originally, he wanted to drive people away.

Those are bandits. Let them sneak into the fleeing team in Xingshan Village. What if they rob everyone of their food?

But seeing Li Hu's obedient appearance being tamed by Hua Xiaonian, he had other thoughts.

Perhaps these bandits really want to escape?

They are all strong laborers in their thirties and forties. Even if they stay in the village and do nothing, they can still serve as a deterrent to the refugees.

He remained silent.

Today he silently paid attention to the bandits again and found that although they always carried swords, they had no intention of harming the villagers.

He just wanted to...

"Xiao Nian, you see there are more and more refugees around. I wonder if I can lend them to your brothers."

"That is, I will help patrol the area around our village at night to prevent refugees from coming in to steal our food."

The village chief said it carefully.

He was afraid that when the bandits nearby heard what he said, they would think that he was taking advantage of his situation...

They are bandits. It’s good that they didn’t steal anything from the villagers. If you still want them to help protect the villagers, why don’t you go to heaven?!

Hua Xiaonian was currently lying in front of the sandalwood table, eagerly watching Li Hu make scrambled eggs with wild vegetables.

She doesn't like eating wild vegetables.

But the scrambled eggs with wild vegetables made by Li Hu this morning reopened her knowledge of wild vegetables.

Wow, it turns out it’s not that the wild vegetables are not delicious, but that the fat monk’s cooking in the temple is not delicious. I must tell Master when I see him again.

Her little brother Li Hu makes delicious food.

She was secretly swallowing her saliva. As the boss of the younger brothers, she had to look like the boss and couldn't swallow her saliva openly.

only...

Do you think your "secret" is really "secret"?

Your little brothers are not blind!!

Because she was too engrossed in looking at the vegetables, the little nun did not hear what the village chief said, and the village chief thought she disagreed.

He just wants to leave...

After taking a few steps, he turned back again.

It was not that he had guessed that the little nun might not have heard what he said, but when he inadvertently looked up, he saw more refugees around them.

As the head of a village, he must assume the responsibility of protecting the villagers.

He then said, "Xiao Nian, do you think this will work? Your little brothers will help patrol our village."

"How about the patrol fee of 50 yuan per person without delay?"

Before the disaster year, the strong men in the village would be paid 80 cash if they went out to work for a whole day, and the village chief wanted to give them 80 cash.

But things are different now.

The money in his pocket can only go out, and it is really difficult to take out 80 wages.

Even this 50 yuan was something he could squeeze out only by gritting his teeth.

When the little nun heard the word "money", her ears immediately stood up.

He raised his little head, looked at the village chief and said politely, "Can I trouble you, old donor, to repeat what you just said?"

All she heard was "money".

As for how to make money and how much money can be made, she didn't even hear clearly.

Seeing that there was something going on, the village chief quickly repeated what he had said before.

Little nun: Oh, it turns out you make money by standing guard.

She was silent for a moment, and all she could think about was whether the 50 yuan salary was worth it.

Will it be less?

Then I thought that it was just patrolling back and forth, not a heavy job, so...

OK!

The little nun asked the village chief again, "How many people does the old donor need to help?"

When the village chief heard her say "old benefactor" when she spoke, and "old benefactor" when she didn't speak, he felt heartbroken.

He is actually only in his early 50s, not too old, right?!

Oh, forget it.
