Chapter 80: Bandits

Seeing that Li Si was so confident, everyone nodded and felt much more at ease.

"How are you in good health? Can you hold on?" At this time, Li Si looked at the family of three and asked with some concern.

He was still a little worried about the three-person family. The family had started coughing up blood before. If the family could no longer hold on, then they could only bite the bullet tonight.

Seeing Li Si ask this, Shu Rong smiled and said to Li Si: "Benefactor, don't worry. We are fine, there is no problem to hold on for a few days."

When Li Si heard Shu Rong say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He also remembered that when the family of three was parasitized by peach seeds, there was still five days left. There was no reason why peach seeds were eliminated and they could not last a night.

"Then you can bundle these thatchs into such small bales, and we will break through tomorrow." Li Si said, then took out some thatchs from the ruins, folded them up, and tied them into a solid bale, and then showed them to everyone.

"Okay, Mr. Li." When the few people saw the bale of palm-sized slap in Li Si's hand, they nodded and immediately looked for thatch nearby.

Fortunately, Chen Zhongyang's house is made of wood and thatch, so there are a lot of thatch, so it is not difficult to search.

While they were looking for thatch, Li Si gave Xiao Duan the order to protect these people and cut them off if there were any tree roots coming out.

After giving the order, he searched in the ruins to see if there was anything to use.

After searching for a while, he found a few white radishes, a few pumpkins, four bamboo baskets and some miscellaneous items while searching for the ruins.

Li Si immediately asked Xiao Duan to come over and cleaned out the debris, vegetables and the bamboo baskets.

There are four bamboo baskets in total, two of which are relatively large bamboo baskets, about half a meter high and about half a meter in diameter. Generally speaking, this kind of bamboo baskets is used to carry rice for farmers. Li Si has seen someone in Fengmen County before using this for picking goods.

The other two are about the same size as his bookcase, which can hold a small amount of things, two backpacks, and I don’t know what they are for. Maybe they used to fill herbs and the like before.

Fortunately, these things are made of bamboo and have a certain degree of toughness. In addition, the house itself is made of wooden boards and thatch, and the weight is not very large, so after the house collapsed, these bamboo baskets were still quite complete.

Then Li Si put the vegetables and debris into the bamboo basket, and then brought the bamboo baskets with Xiao Duan to the bonfire.

The few people looked at the bamboo basket swaying in the air beside Li Si, and they swallowed their saliva, with a look of fear in their eyes. Although they had seen Li Si's magicality before, they were still a little scared when they saw this scene.

Li Si didn't explain to them, and asked Xiao Duan to put the bamboo baskets down and said, "Tomorrow we will use these bamboo baskets to fill this thatch."

After saying that, he took out a few pumpkins from the bamboo basket and stuffed them into the bonfire with wood.

In fact, Li Si didn’t know how the pumpkin tasted like this, but it should be edible when it was cooked.

There is no time to cook a delicacy now, so I can only use this simple method to make some food, quickly restore my energy, tie the thatch into bundles, and prepare for tomorrow.

When the other four people saw this, they didn't say much, and continued to bow their heads and tie the bale.

Even the little girl named Shu Min gritted her teeth and tied up a bale.

After Li Si stuffed the vegetables into the bonfire, he also sat down and started doing things with several people.

"My benefactor, are you going to Zetian Mansion to take the exam this time?" When Li Si sat down and started doing it, Shu Rong asked Li Si.

Li Si nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I'm going to Zetian Mansion for an exam."

Seeing Li Si say this, Shu Rong frowned, with a puzzled look on his face, and said strangely: "Why did that benefactor appear here? You must know that this place is not on the official road."

When He Zhong, who was standing aside, saw Shu Rong asking, his face suddenly showed embarrassment, his old face turned red, he lowered his head and tied up a bale seriously, as if he had heard nothing.

Now He Zhong simply wanted to find a gap to get in, but he couldn't explain it. Should he tell them now that he and Xianggong Li were led by ghosts and came here?

This will only make everyone more nervous. As an old man, he knows that this matter must not be told to everyone now.

Li Si pondered for a moment, looked at He Zhong, and said with a smile: "We are lost on the road and we are here."

Seeing Li Si say this, Shu Rong immediately realized, sighed, and said, "I thought my benefactor knew that there was a group of robbers near Shiniu Mountain, so he took a detour. You must know that the reason we took a detour before was that there was a group of robbers there."

"I just didn't expect that this robber didn't meet, but encountered this evil thing and almost lost his life. If you hadn't helped save me, my family of three would have lost their lives."

When Shu Rong said this, his face showed a look of fear and fear.

Hearing Shu Rong's words, Li Si's face also showed a look of pride. He was surprised before. Since the three of the family came from Jingning County, they should have the same route as themselves, so why would they come to Taoyuan?

Now it seems that they were trying to avoid bandits.

"Does the government ignore this robber?" Li Si was immediately confused. Since there were bandits on the pipeline, there would definitely be an government to take care of it.

Hearing Li Si say this, Shu Rong showed a sad look and sighed: "There is no way to control this. Jingning County has been frustrated by the drought, and it is difficult to separate the man to manage it."

"In addition, the bandits are difficult to find and are very familiar with the surrounding environment. They often come without a trace. It is even more difficult for the government to wipe out this group of bandits."

Li Si felt a little confused when she heard Shu Rong say this, and she didn't feel very comfortable.

He is not a fool. Even if the bandits were forced by this era, they are not heroes, but a group of evil ghosts lying on the common people to suck blood. He never thought of these bandits as heroes who robbed the rich and helped the poor.

"Hey... my poor brother was killed by a bandit, and even his wife and daughter did not escape and were captured on Shiniu Mountain."

Shu Rong's words also confirmed Li Si's conjecture. This group of bandits is indeed not a hero, but a group of real outlaws. This is also very realistic. If you guessed correctly, Shu Rong's brother's wife and daughter may have suffered an unexpected situation.

"Sadness." Li Si didn't know what to say at this time, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only let them have a sorrow.

Then everyone fell into silence. The family of three obviously thought of the death of their relatives and fell into sorrow, and Li Si didn't want to say these things now.
