Chapter 434 Is it over already? They've only just arrived at the battlefield!
When the three children arrived at the battlefield, Lin Chang'er, Wu Qingfeng, He Fei, and others, along with the villagers of Linshui Village and the officials, had already overwhelmingly defeated the bandits who had come to rob the village.
"Which cowardly bastard dares to cause trouble in our Linshui Village?"
"Don't you even know where you are? Do you know Linshui Village? Our village is famous for fighting pirates."
"You dare to rob us? You're asking for trouble, aren't you?"
The villagers of Linshui Village had just begun to enjoy a better life, and their savings were gradually increasing.
Their family members have also gained weight, and they cherish their current life immensely.
How could they tolerate some son of a bitch trying to steal from them?
They were all itching to give him a good beating.
The constables Wu Qingfeng brought were also extremely excited. They had heard that Lord Wu could get a word in edgewise almost every time he came.
Although this time it wasn't pirates, the government didn't explicitly state that there would be a reward for fighting pirates. Previously, it was always Lord Wu who would summarize each case and report it to Prefect Chen to ask for the reward for Linshui Village.
Since it was his hometown, Prefect Chen was quite agreeable.
But for bandits, prices were clearly marked: three taels for killing them and five taels for capturing them alive.
A band of more than 20 bandits came that night. Although they didn't capture all of them, Magistrate Wu would certainly reward them accordingly.
Look, we're enjoying delicious food and getting a reward. Isn't that wonderful?
Therefore, they naturally joined the ranks of those denouncing the bandits. However, in addition to denouncing them, they also had to prevent the villagers from going too far and killing or maiming people.
In short, it's a lively and bustling place.
Lin Beishan and the three children, who had just arrived, were a little confused.
What happened? It's over already? They've only just arrived at the battlefield!
Lin Beishan hugged the raindrops hanging around his neck and asked the little goldfish, "Should we go back or stay?"
The three of them looked at each other, then slumped their shoulders, realizing they had missed it.
At this point, Lin Beishan had to show the basic manners that an elder should have. He said, "If we missed it, we missed it. I heard from Chang'er that bad people often come to the village. Next time we'll just have to go earlier."
The kids chuckled.
The little goldfish turned to look at him, scratched its head, and looked blank. This grandfather seemed to be quite unreliable.
Lin Beishan didn't see anything wrong with it at all. "It's honorable to fight bad guys, but we also have to accept reality, right?"
"The main thing is that the matter was resolved without us having to lift a finger, so the outcome is good, right?"
"Since there were no losses in the village, it's not so important who caught the thief, right?"
That makes sense. The three children looked at each other and nodded.
Over there in the crowd, Lin Chang'er wiped the blood off her hands and said to Wu Qingfeng, "I'll go back and settle the elderly and children first. I'll leave this place to you."
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "No problem, you go."
Lin Chang'er turned around, and without her saying a word, the crowd spontaneously parted to make way for her.
The older children reminded her to be careful on her way home!
These are all customs that have been preserved from the past. In the past, the village was poor, and most people were reluctant to light lamps at night. The roads were pitch black, and it was easy to slip and fall.
Therefore, when someone visits another's home, the host will always remind them before they leave, "It's getting dark, be careful on the road."
However, ever since she first entered the pirate territory, Lin Chang'er has been vigorously developing infrastructure.
The village paths have been widened where possible, and a lamp niche has been erected every ten meters. While not completely brightly lit, it illuminates almost the entire residential area.
It makes it easier for the brothers to patrol, and also makes it easier for everyone to visit each other.
So nowadays, at night, villagers often go for walks in twos and threes.
The little kids, being at an age where they love to run and play, certainly couldn't miss out on the opportunity now that things were better in the village.
Therefore, Lin Chang'er didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and nodded and smiled in response to everyone who kindly cared about her.
But as soon as she stepped out of the crowd, she saw Lin Beishan and his group standing outside the crowd.
Lin Chang'er paused for a moment, then her pupils dilated in shock. What was that hanging around her father's neck?
Look closely, it's a child.
It was their raindrops!
Lin Chang'er's blood pressure skyrocketed. "Lin Beishan, are you crazy?!"
"You came by yourself, why did you bring raindrops? How big are raindrops anyway?"
"If he does anything wrong, I'll give you a good scolding."
Lin Beishan's body trembled, and he seemed to shrink in size.
He timidly hid behind the little goldfish, probably because he felt the little goldfish was too thin to cover him.
Then she hid behind Gu Silang and Zhou Li.
Lin Chang'er sighed, "I saw you. There's no use hiding now. Come out here."
Lin Beishan hid behind Gu Silang and Zhou Li, saying, "I'm not coming out."
Lin Chang'er strode over and said, "You're not coming out, are you? If you don't come out, I'll go and call my mother to deal with you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Beishan hunched over and moved out, his entire movement exuding a strong sense of stealth.
Lin Chang'er took the raindrops off his neck and saw that the little boy's eyes were bright and alert, not at all frightened, but rather very energetic.
He met her gaze and started talking to her in a babbling voice, as if he recognized her and was very excited. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
He patted the little guy's bottom and said, "You've gotten quite bold, haven't you?"
"Yay!" the little guy responded enthusiastically.
Lin Chang'er shook her head and pointed at his pajamas, "Silly boy, is this a place you can come to..."
At this moment, Lin Beishan walked over and whispered, "Chang'er, look, the raindrops are alright, right?"
"What we're doing is cultivating courage in children from a young age!"
"Look, he's only a month old, and he's already witnessed the village elders fighting bandits. When he talks about it with his friends in the future, he'll be so proud of himself!"
"If you ask me, he's definitely the most outstanding, most experienced, and most..."
"Shut up!" Lin Chang'er glared at him. "I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
After saying that, he turned to the three little goldfish and asked, "Do you want to stay and help Uncle Wu? Or are you coming back with me?"
The younger ones glanced in that direction, and the little goldfish said, "Mom, I'll go back with you."
Gu Silang and Zhou Li seemed quite interested in what was happening over there. Then, remembering something, Zhou Li asked, "Sister-in-law, has the peace gong been rung yet?"
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "Not yet. Let's find out where these thieves came from before we knock on them."
Zhou Li nodded, "I'll listen to you, sister-in-law. It's just that all the women and children in the village are at your house, which is disturbing your rest."
Lin Chang'er laughed heartily, "We're all from the same village, it's nothing."
Zhou Li said, "Sister-in-law, I have a suggestion."
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Go ahead."
Zhou Li said, "That's right, sister-in-law, could we move this emergency shelter to the elementary school in the future?"
