After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 502 Defense

After seeing Qian Yi and the others off, Su Sili returned to the village chief.

When they got to the yard, Xin Dalu was still kneeling there, and Aunt Xin was beating him hard.

"You are such a rotten thing. If anything happens to your grandfather, we will not live either, wuwu..."

"Aunt Xin,"

"Xiao Li is here? Have all your friends left?" Aunt Xin saw that Su Sili was still a little embarrassed and wanted to stand up and wipe her face, not knowing whether it was tears or sweat.

Xin Dalu's mother used to dislike Su Sili very much. Although she didn't show it, Su Sili could still feel it.

Well, who could like someone who would threaten their son's status?

In their village, especially in their clan, her son was going to be the village chief and clan chief in the future, so how could he be snatched away by an unknown outsider?

Therefore, when Xin Dalu first wanted to get close to Su Sili, she often said some irrelevant things to her son, saying that his grandfather liked Su Sili more and that his position as village chief and clan leader would be given to Su Sili in the future.

In their place, the village chief is like a small local emperor and has absolute say.

So, after she kept blowing the wind, she successfully led her son astray.

By this point, Xin Dalu hated and loathed Su Sili very much.

However, they were usually minor quarrels, and she believed that her son was just fighting for some rights he deserved.

But she never thought that her son would actually bring bandits in, bandits who killed and burned people.

When she got the news, she fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, Su Sili and his friends helped, otherwise she didn’t know what would have become of their village.

No matter what kind of internal struggles people have in normal times, everyone in this village has a strong sense of collective honor, and they would risk their lives to fight anyone who destroys the village.

If the previous bandits had not captured the elderly and children, they would have rushed forward and fought to the death.

Su Sili hurried over to help Aunt Xin, "Yes, they left. They said they had to deal with the bandits first to avoid any more trouble."

"But...but they didn't even have a meal. It's our fault. Xiao Li, when grandpa gets better, you can go and invite them again. We can't be the kind of ungrateful people."

"Okay, I'll tell them. I'll go see grandpa first."

"Okay, you go in first. I'll scold that brat again. We'll have dinner at home tonight, so you can't refuse."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, aunt."

"It's not hard. Why should I feel hard? I just had a miserable life and gave birth to such a terrible thing. Come in quickly. Your uncle Xin and the others are in there."

Aunt Xin felt a blockage in her chest and was so angry that she punched Xin Dalu a few times. After that, she felt better.

"Keep kneeling." After saying that, he left and went back to pack his things.

Su Sili didn't even glance at Xin Dalu. After she finished speaking, she went straight into the room and closed the door.

Xin Dalu was actually very scared inside. Although he had just vented his anger, his grandfather had not woken up yet. He was really scared.

If grandpa really gets angry with him and becomes ill, I guess everyone in the village will beat him to death.

"Is Grandpa awake?" Su Sili ran straight to the bedside as soon as she entered the room, wanting to see how the village chief was doing.

"He just woke up and looks better. But the medicine hasn't taken effect yet, so let him sleep for a while. Let him take the medicine after it takes effect."

"Well, that's good. Uncle Xin, Second Uncle, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'm here. The village must have been frightened a lot today, you guys go take a look. Especially Fourth Grandpa and Fifth Grandpa, they are old and can't stand being frightened."

"Before I came back, I went to see my fourth grandfather. Although he was not unconscious, his condition was not very good."

"Brother, let's go there and gather the men to clean up any damage in the village."

“Okay, here’s the expanded version:

"That's right, Uncle Xin and Second Uncle, please take another step and carefully check the condition of the road we are going out to see if there are any changes, such as whether there are new obstacles or some special marks or something like that." Su Sili said solemnly.

Hearing this, both of them frowned, and Uncle Xin asked doubtfully:

"Do you think those vicious bandits would deliberately leave marks?"

“I’m not too sure. I’ll have to ask Xin Dalu where he found those people and whether there are other people, in case they get to know the news and retaliate against us.

So, I suggest that we temporarily close the entrance and exit routes, leaving a route that is likely to lead him back, and when he returns, we should close that route as well.”

The elder Xin and the second elder Xin looked at each other. They knew that there was an exit in the village that was not only known to the children like Su Sili. The second elder Xin said, "Is it that serious?"

"It's better to be on guard. After all, we are not real bandits, but they are. Just now, Master Murong and his men took away so many people. With their people, it is still very conspicuous to walk out of this forest.

What if there are bandits waiting for them outside? If they know that their partner not only failed to rob but was also taken away, they will normally take revenge.

If they come back and attack us, it will be too late for us to ask for help."

"Oh, I should have asked Master Murong and the others to keep some people."

Su Sili also thought so, but Brother Qian told him that in their current state, it was not suitable for them to keep people from other villages, so as to avoid other thoughts.

Besides, he still had some confidence in their formation for entering the village. He let them go out and take a look now, so as to be more cautious.

"Okay, we got it. Second brother, let's go."

"Okay. You stay here and watch. If anything happens, go call your aunt and second aunt."

After saying that, the two brothers left in a hurry.

Then I heard Xin Dalu wailing outside the house.

Boss Xin and Boss Xin No. 2 kicked him again.

After a while, Su Sili opened the door.

"Come in, I have something to ask you."

Xin Dalu raised his head, his eyes met Su Sili's for a moment, then quickly looked away, and then slowly lowered his head.

He took a deep breath and tried to stand up.

However, due to staying in the kneeling position for a long time, his legs had already become numb. When he tried to prop up his body, a wave of soreness and numbness came over him like a tide, and he almost fell to the ground again.

Su Sili, who was standing by, watched all this quietly, with no expression on his face. But when he thought of the village chief in the house, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Then he turned around and went back into the house without paying any attention to him.
