The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Zhou Jia touched the sleeve arrow on his arm and wanted to ask again, but Ruyi whispered a warning from above: "Master, someone is coming."

Ji Xiang quickly picked up his bow and arrow and rushed to the parapet. He looked at the men in black walking towards Zhou's house. He pricked up his ears and listened to the footsteps that were getting closer. "There are about ten people. The footsteps are so heavy that it shouldn't take much effort." .”

The few people who came over were the bandits who had just snatched them out of Xu's house and were going to come to Zhou's house to do something again.

Ruyi and Jixiang raised their bows and aimed at the two bandits within the shooting range. With two "swish" sounds, the arrows left the string and flew through the air. With two "burst, burst" sounds, they hit the two bandits. Bandit, the bandit fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow.

When the other bandits saw that the two people in front of them had been hit by arrows and fell to the ground, they hurriedly hid in the dark and shouted to the people behind them: "Second Master, what should I do? This family has bows and arrows."

The second master looked at the Zhou family and snorted coldly: "It seems that this family is well prepared. It's almost dawn. We don't have enough manpower today to go back and come back with enough manpower."

Several bandits glanced at the Zhou family mansion not far away, dragged the two people who fell to the ground and turned away unwillingly.

Ruyi and Jixiang were leaning on the wall, watching a few people walking away quickly. Jixiang jumped down from the wall and said, "Master, they have left."

Zhou Jia listened to the noise outside for a while, but still couldn't let go: "Go to Li's house to see if she is safe, so that she can rest in peace."

As Ji Xiang ran, he complained in his heart: How long has it been since the young master has returned to Miss Li? Miss Li.

Li Yu lay on the bed and fell asleep, secretly worried that as soon as the locusts arrived, bandits would come and plunder them overnight. It seemed that everyone had underestimated the severity of this drought.

If the drought and locust plague continue, it may lead to a greater disaster. It seems that the escape route this time may not be smooth.

As soon as Jixiang entered the yard, Li Yu stood up and opened the door of the hall. Jixiang stepped forward and whispered: "Miss Li, the bandits have left. The young master said that you can rest in peace."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay, you go back and let your young master take a break."

"Yes." Ji Xiang bowed and opened the courtyard door and left. Li Yu went over, closed the courtyard door, went back to the house, lay down and fell asleep.

At dawn, the Xu family's courtyard door opened. A group of people came out of the courtyard and walked out of the village, carrying their baggage dejectedly.

The villagers looked at them from a distance and talked about it, "I think his family seems to be fine. It seems that they have handed over their belongings. Otherwise, it would not be too bad to live in peace with these bandits."

One person retorted angrily: "Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? There is a drought and there are locusts. Food and money are gone. Is there any way for the Xu family to survive?"

An old man with white hair sighed: "The ruined ship still has three pounds of nails. The Xu family is better off than you and me in facing bandits. Come back! Pack it up, pack it up, and escape with your wife and children while you still have the strength." Stay away and find a way to survive."

The villagers living near the Xu family were still horrified by what happened to the Xu family last night. They all gathered in front of the village chief's house. Everyone sighed as they looked at the bare bamboo poles in the bamboo forest and the locusts flying back and forth.

"I still want to stay at home and get through this drought, but even the Xu family was robbed last night. No one in East Village came forward to help. It seems that the village is not peaceful either!"

An older man looked at him and smiled bitterly: "You are young and have never experienced it. Whenever a disaster strikes, we are the ones who have no way to survive. Let's run away before we are exhausted and if we still have the strength to escape! "

A man was full of resentment and punched the wall of the village chief's house: "Oh! God, you are not leaving us a way to survive! We have eaten everything and the water is getting less and less. We can only wait until we are thirsty." Starve to death.”

The old man stood up tremblingly: "You who are able-bodied, just take your wife and children and escape! I won't leave if I can't walk anymore. I will die early and be born early."

The village chief stood behind the courtyard door and listened to everyone sighing. He frowned and hesitated for a moment before opening the courtyard door. He said to the villagers squatting at the door: "The Xu family was robbed last night. If you want to leave, go home and prepare." , we will meet at the entrance of the village at noon tomorrow, and we will set off as soon as the time comes."

As soon as everyone heard what the village chief said, they all stood up: "We know the village chief, then we will go back and get ready."

Everyone went home separately and ran back home. The village seemed to be exploding with people killing pigs and chasing chickens.

After the Xu family was robbed last night, Li Mei's family became more determined to escape with Li Yu.

Liu Changmin stood in the yard, looking at the newly built house with reluctance. He sighed and slowly put the packaged items on the bullock cart with a salute.

Zhaodi and Laidi came out of the room with their quilts in their arms. Zhaodi looked at Li Mei, who was sitting blankly on the chair next to the table in the main room: "Mom, let's go! Let's go to my cousin's house first."

Li Mei looked at the tables and chairs in the room with reluctance, tears fell down, and she choked with sobs and said: "Oh! It's not easy to have my own home, oh oh oh... I've only had a few days of peace and stability. I’m going to run away again.”

The Laidi sisters looked at Li Mei and their eyes were red. They stepped forward and took Li Mei's hand: "Mom, let's go! Grandma will be here later."

Li Mei wiped away her tears, picked up the clothes on the table, and said resolutely: "Let's go!"

When the family left the courtyard, Liu Changmin locked the door and drove the bullock cart towards Li Yu's house without looking back.

Li Yu got up and found that the sun was getting higher. When he went out, he saw Li Mei and Li Qing putting dried fodder into sacks.

Li Qing looked up and saw Li Yu coming out, and said with concern: "Sister, if the food is warm in the pot, go and eat some."

Li Mei looked at Li Yu with some worry: "Yu'er, the Xu family was robbed last night and there may be more people trying to escape today."

Li Yu nodded: "Jixiang came to tell me last night."

Li Yu remembered that the Zhou family felt that his home was also a target of robbers, and thought that it would be better to let them live here too, so that everyone would be safer together.

"Aqing, go to Zhou's house and ask them to bring everything over. We can all live together so we can take care of you."

"Okay." Li Qing put down the sack and left.

Li Yu went back to the house and took out the water bag and handed it to Li Mei, "Aunt, boil some mint leaves in water and put them in the water bag."

Zhao Di came in from outside with a pair of shoes and handed them to Li Yu: "Cousin, look, I sewed a layer of leather on the soles and uppers, so that the soles won't wear out easily when walking for a long distance."

Li Yu took it and looked at it, giving a thumbs up and praising: "Zhao Di is so smart, she is also good at needlework, so you don't have to worry about the shoes wearing out quickly."

Zhao Di laughed happily and said to Li Yu enthusiastically: "Then Laidi and I will sew a few more pairs."

Li Mei looked at Zhao Di and nodded happily: "Go! Sew a few more pairs, we don't know how long it will take!"

Butcher He took Xiaoyu towards Li Yu's house. Xiaoyu looked at the frowning Father He: "Dad, are Sister Xiaoyu and the others really going to flee?"

Butcher He pointed at the locusts in the field: "If you don't run away, why don't you stay here and wait to die? It won't be possible to recover in three to five years, depending on the situation."

When the father and daughter arrived at Li Yu's house, Butcher He smiled and said to Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, uncle also wants to come with us, how about we take him with him on the road?"

Li Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay! We will have someone to look after us when we walk together."

Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu, pouting and complaining: "Sister Xiaoyu, you are so mean. You didn't tell me that you were getting engaged and you were leaving."

Li Yu smiled awkwardly: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry for you, I forgot about it while I was busy."

Butcher He looked at Xiaoyu: "Smelly girl! Do you think your sister Xiaoyu is as free as you are? Let's go! Let's go back and pack our things and leave together tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Uncle He, let's meet everyone at the entrance of the village at noon tomorrow and set off together."

"Okay, let's all meet at the entrance of the village at Mao Shizhong." Butcher He took Xiaoyu back and prepared to go.
