Chapter 56 Bad News

Zhang Xiaolong hurriedly kicked the thing that saved the lives of everyone in his family carefully into his arms. Lu Yueming didn't wait for Zhang Xiaolong to speak, and then ordered: "The four of you ride on your original horses and leave quickly. Don't touch these thieves' belongings. Leave the corpses and horses where they are. I heard that there are three heads in Xicui Mountain. It seems that they are all taken by me." Kill them. It is estimated that trees will fall down and the hozens will scatter in Xicui Mountain in the future. You don’t have to worry about their revenge. In addition, there is no need to hide the fact that I saved you, but remember not to say my name or the Piaomiao Sect. His name, do you understand?"

Zhang Xiaolong didn't quite understand, but nodded deeply. Then, the four of them rode on a horse and rode forward.

Lu Yueming also jumped on his horse and was about to leave. However, after looking at the mess on the roadside, he frowned and thought for a moment before jumping off the horse. He placed the seven corpses on the seven remaining horses, loosened the reins and let the horses ride. After running away by himself, he got on his horse again and galloped away. Only then did the road become silent again.

After another meal, the people hiding nearby sneaked over to see that there were no criminals on the roadside, and then they packed up the sedan chair and other things. Thinking that the bride, groom and others had been poisoned, they helped them. Unfortunately, Bian took advantage of his luck and slowly returned to Guozhuang.

It is said that in the Zhang family courtyard in Guozhuang, ever since Zhang Xiaolong led the wedding team out, the family members have been busy, not only greeting the neighbors in the village and greeting them to sit down, but also preparing everything needed for the wedding ceremony that day according to the countryside. Looking for items, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei ran in and out almost without touching the ground, mumbling something, looking here and there, lest they miss something.

When it was three o'clock in the morning, the couple relaxed a little and sat down a little tiredly. This poor family was so tired after marrying a daughter-in-law, and the rich family didn't exhaust them to death? It's just that they forgot that there are dedicated servants to use it, so how can they do it themselves? Everything at home was fully prepared, and the necessary rituals were all explained to people familiar with the village. It was estimated that there would be no mistakes. Seeing that it was still early, the two of them went to the master cook to get some food for their stuttering. Eat in a hurry.

After a short rest, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei arrived at grandma's cabin, guessing that the wedding team was approaching. Grandma also got up very early. Guo Sufei had made a brand-new set of clothes for her mother a few days ago. She was wearing her clothes today. When grandma heard someone coming in, she asked, "Sophie? Xiaolong and the others are back, right?"

Guo Sufei said with a smile on her face: "Mother, it's not yet, but I guess it will be soon. You can follow us to the main room and wait."

Grandma was also very happy and kept saying yes.

The couple carefully helped grandma to the main room and sat down on the chairs in the middle. Grandma's health is now very poor and she lies in bed most of the time. On Zhang Xiaolong's wedding day, she needs to bow down to her parents and elders. Grandma worked hard today just to wait for her grandson and grandson's wife to pay homage to her for the rest of her life. All the wishes were fulfilled.

However, everyone sat for a long time and did not hear the sound of firecrackers and musical instruments at the entrance of the village. Seeing that the time has come, getting married in this country is very particular. Missing the time means that the couple's life is not going well, which is always not beautiful. They can't help but Anxiety appeared on the faces of Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, and even grandma seemed unable to hold on.

Just when everyone was guessing, suddenly, someone shouted: "Look, that's Liu Er playing the suona. Why did he come back?"

Sure enough, after crossing the low wall of the Zhang family courtyard, I saw a person running towards here with unsteady steps. Isn't he the person in the wedding party?

Zhang Cai couldn't help but feel nervous, secretly thinking that something was wrong, and rushed out of the main room immediately. Before he reached the yard, he heard Liu Er's hoarse shout: "It's not good, Xiaolong and his wife have met." There are bandits in Xicui Mountain!"

These words were like a spoonful of water dripping into a frying pan. The Zhang family courtyard was immediately fried. Some timid people immediately slapped their butts and ran away.

It was as if the horse thief was right in front of them, and most of the people were talking to each other. Some had obvious gloating on their faces, while others expressed regret. I don't know if they felt sorry for Zhang Xiaolong or Liu Qian, but most of them showed sympathy.

Before Zhang Cai rushed to the entrance of the courtyard, he heard a cry from behind: "Mother~"

Zhang Cai's heart thumped, and he quickly turned around and ran back to the main room. Sure enough, he saw his grandmother's face was ashen, slumped on the ground, and had fainted. Guo Sufei was crying and hurriedly rubbing her grandmother's chest, thinking Helping grandma clear out the thick phlegm stuck in her throat, Zhang Cai quickly stepped forward and kept tapping on grandma's back. Fortunately, after a while, grandma's throat squirmed, she opened her mouth and spit out the thick phlegm. When he came out, there was a mouthful of blood, and grandma said: "Little dragon~", she was already as angry as a thread.

At this time, Guo Sufei still had time to think about Zhang Xiaolong. She cried and carried her mother to the bed in the hut with Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohu. Only then did the couple have time to look at each other. They really couldn't understand how this happy event happened. Is it going to be a funeral in the blink of an eye?

The couple looked at the grandmother, who had a face as pale as gold, and their hearts were as sharp as a knife. Zhang Xiaolong's life and death were uncertain, and his mother was about to leave. What should they do?

Zhang Cai left Guo Sufei to take care of her grandmother. He and Zhang Xiaohu then came to the main room. Some of the people in the yard had already left, and many people also entered the main room and were listening to Liu Er's talk. Seeing Zhang Cai come in, Liu Er started talking again from the beginning. This Liu Er was also very eloquent. He actually told Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohua from archery to solving difficult problems vividly. He even remembered the "poem" written by Zhang Xiaolong every word. Not bad, everyone seemed to be praising Zhang Cai for having two good sons, but at the same time they were feeling sorry for him. The lives of these two good sons were probably in danger now. Zhang Cai felt even more distressed when he heard this. He was anxious to know what happened to the bandits, but what Liu Er described was so detailed that he wanted to tear open his mouth and take out the last words.

When Liu Er said: "Four ferocious bandits armed with weapons, they drove us away." He stopped talking. Everyone was stunned and said, "Then what?"

Liu Er said innocently: "No more. I don't know where they went, but I am thinking about Brother Zhang and came over quickly to report the news."

Zhang Cai seemed to be grasping at straws and asked, "Then you didn't see how the bandits dealt with Xiaolong and the others?"

Liu Er said: "No, the bandits drove us away. Xiaolong, Xiaohua, and the two girls in the sedan stayed behind."

Zhang Cai said with luck, "Xiaolong and the others may not be dead yet."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but they and Zhang Cai were thinking the same thing. The bandits left them alone, and the possibility of surviving was really slim. Even if they could survive, the delicate bride He and the bridesmaid probably fell into the trap. In any case, today's marriage in this family is no longer possible. Alas, good people are not rewarded. This family usually accumulates good deeds, but in the end there is no reward. What a blessing. Fooling people.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't sit still. He said, "Dad, I'm going to see now how the eldest brother and third brother are doing?" After saying that, he was about to go out. Before Zhang Cai could say anything, everyone immediately So he pulled him and said: "Second brother, you are the only male in the family now. You can't make any mistakes. You can't go by yourself. Wait a moment. We will organize the strong men in the village to get weapons before we go." .”

So everyone in the courtyard hurried out, mobilized the young laborers of Guozhuang, took hoes and other guys in hand, and prepared to go to the place where the accident happened to see what happened.

But just as a group of loose people walked out of the village entrance of Guozhuang, they saw a horse running towards them carrying four people from a distance.

People with sharp eyes recognized it immediately and shouted loudly: "It's Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaohua, ah, they are back, they are still alive~"

Everyone cheered together and rushed over with shouts, and Zhang Xiaohu rushed to the front of the crowd.

When everyone received Zhang Xiaolong and the others, they saw the tattered clothes and blood on the two brothers' bodies. Several people carefully lifted Zhang Xiaolong down, and Zhang Xiaohu also took Zhang Xiaohua off the horse, looking distressed. Looking at the marks on his shoulders, Liu Qian and Liu Yueyue did not dismount. They were still in shock, their legs were still weak and they could not walk. Someone was holding the horse forward slowly, and some with fast legs had already run back. , reported to the Zhang family.

Before the crowd reached the center of the village, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, who had received the news, had already rushed over. Seeing that their sons and daughter-in-law were alive and well, they couldn't help but shed tears. They just caressed their sons carefully with their hands. He opened the wound and kept saying: "Okay, okay." It wasn't until we walked to the door of Zhang's courtyard that Guo Sufei woke up from a dream and said, "Xiaolong, Qianqian, come here quickly and meet your grandma." "

At this time, he didn't care whether Liu Qian could walk, so he stepped forward to help her off the horse, and helped her into her grandmother's cabin. Grandma was already a little confused at this time, but when she heard that her grandson came back alive, she couldn't help but perked up. There was a flush on his face, and his gray eyes seemed to be able to see his beloved grandson and grandson's wife, and he muttered: "Better, please."

After hearing her mother's words, Guo Sufei also realized that the rule in this country is that when a happy event encounters the funeral of an elder, you need to step back. Grandma does not want to delay Zhang Xiaolong's wedding because of her departure.

So Guo Sufei gritted her teeth and quickly asked Zhang Cai to prepare for the wedding ceremony. At this time, her grandmother also had the energy and insisted on going to the main room to accept the kneeling of her new wife and grandson.

Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai had no choice but to carry their mother to the main room.
