The originally desolate valley is now covered with luxuriant grass and wild flowers, a piece of gravel in the middle has been cleaned up, and more than a dozen women are dancing.

Raising hands and throwing feet, clothes are fluttering, like a fairy falling into the mortal world, making people reluctant to take their eyes away.

Some soldiers rubbed their eyes hard, and even thought they were too tired from the journey and had hallucinations.

Fortunately, Li Laosi and Ye Shan were the first to react. One stepped forward to protect Jiayi and Liu Yang, and the other quickly looked at the entire valley, those caves, and the lookout shacks on the hills on both sides.

At this moment, the women also noticed that an outsider had broken in, and they scattered away screaming, throwing flutes and huqin all over the ground.

"Someone is coming! Let go of the rattan ladder!"

"Squad leader, squad leader, someone is here!"

"Help!"

The valley, which was just like a fairyland on earth, is full of chaos in an instant, and the beauty is gone.

Everyone touched their noses and scratched the back of their heads in embarrassment, feeling very wronged, they obviously didn't do anything.

Some soldiers were about to put down their bows and long knives, but Ye Shan stopped them.

"Be alert! Don't worry if you think it's a woman, this is not a military camp!"

Li Laosi also said, "We have lived here for a whole winter, and it is not easy to live here. Don't underestimate these women, some of them must be able to fight."

Sure enough, after the women climbed into each cave in a panic, after a while, a woman pretending to be strong jumped out of the biggest cave and came straight towards the crowd.

The two sides were five or six feet away, the woman stopped and looked at the crowd carefully, and saw that Li Lao Si was mostly dressed as a soldier, she looked a little bad, it was obvious that she regarded everyone as a remnant soldier.

She clenched the long sword in her hand and shouted loudly, "We have already occupied this place, all the strong men should find another place to settle down."

Li Laosi took two steps forward and said, "We are not refugees and remnants of soldiers, nor did we come here to settle down. Last winter, we lived here for a few months, and left some book boxes. Because they are not convenient to carry, they are sealed in the one on the far left. It’s in a small cave. We’re going to take it away this time, so we won’t disturb your life here.”

The woman's eyes flashed, and her hand holding the long sword loosened.

They arrived here three months ago, and they were overjoyed when they found that there were caves, crudely made tables and chairs, and even a straw shed stove.

Of course, they also found the book box in the cave.

Originally, they thought that if someone came to pick up the books, they could follow them and walk out of the mountains.

But at this moment, the person who picked up the books came, but they were not the gentle and elegant scholars they imagined, but a group of soldiers...

Li Laosi also saw the opening of the small mountain cave, frowned slightly, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, we have no malicious intentions. We only need to retrieve the books, and you can use the rest as you like.

"If you are worried, we can camp by the edge of the forest. As long as you send all the 480 books in your collection, one volume at a time, we won't have any conflicts."

The woman looked at them carefully for a long while, turned her head and left without agreeing or refusing.

Seeing this, Ye Shan said, "Let's light a fire and have a rest. Dealing with women is a hassle, maybe it will take a long time."

Li Laosi nodded and told everyone, "Half of the people light the fire, roast the rabbits and pheasants killed on the road, and fill their stomachs, and half of them are vigilant, so don't relax."

Everyone immediately got busy, division of labor and cooperation, busy but not chaotic.

In the largest cave in the distance, a woman stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the busy people beside the forest.

She was wearing an ink blue double cardigan with an embroidered gauze pleated skirt, her black hair was tied into a simple double spiral bun, and a white jade hairpin was inserted obliquely, which made her eyebrows look picturesque. On the white wrist, there is a silk-stuffed tourmaline bracelet, which is unique.

If it weren't for the rough caves around her, some people would believe her appearance as a noble lady raised in the backyard of a rich and powerful family.

The sword-wielding woman who was talking to Li Laosi and the others just now said in a low voice, "Squad leader, these people don't look like ordinary gangster remnants, and they brought two and a half adults with them. The two leaders, one looks like a steward , although the one looks sturdy, but has the appearance of a farmer.

"The number of books they reported is also correct. They must have really come to pick up the books. Look, do you want to give them the books? Shall we... Shall we go out with them?"

The beautiful woman shook her head lightly, and ordered, "Look again, we are all women, if we believe in the wrong person, there is no room for turning around. You go and tell them that we read the books on weekdays and need to sort them out. Let’s ask them to rest at the edge of the forest for two days. In addition, send them something, it’s best to find out their details.”

"Okay, I'll go find Xiaotong and Huier, they are young, no one will be on guard." The woman with the sword agreed.

At the edge of the forest, the bonfire was already burning, and there were not many prey that people hunted casually on the road, but after roasting them with fine salt, they could eat enough to eat with the white flour biscuits brought from home.

As a result, as soon as the rabbit was roasted, two little girls came over from the other side of the cave. They looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The two carried a small iron pot and a small cloth bag, stood a few steps away, and talked to everyone.

"Heroes, our class leader said that the book box was opened by everyone, and it will take a day or two to put it together. Please wait. There are iron pots and japonica rice here. All the heroes have come here to work hard. If you don't mind, we will help you How about some rice porridge to warm up your stomach?"

No one can be vigilant when facing such a little girl.

Ye Shan and Li Laosi clasped their hands together, and said, "Okay, please tell your class leader that a book is indispensable. In addition, we will keep the iron pot for borrowing, but you can take back the round-grained rice."

Perhaps it was because they spoke too loudly, the two little girls shrank their necks in fright, and their big eyes immediately filled with tears, as if they might fall at any moment.

Both Ye Shan and Li Laosi were embarrassed, subconsciously took a few steps back.

The two little girls were clutching at the corners of their clothes, tears falling more and more urgently.

"Our team leader ordered that if you take the japonica rice back, you will be scolded..."

Some soldiers looked soft-hearted and said, "Fourth Master, they are just two little girls, why don't you treat them to a rabbit's leg?"

"Yes, fourth master, let's make some porridge. I've been eating dry food along the way, and I really can't eat anymore."

Fourth Li frowned, he wanted to take everyone's thoughts into consideration, so he nodded.

Immediately, someone led the two little girls to sit on the big rock, and stuffed them with roasted rabbit legs.

The little girls were a bit cautious at first, but once they ate the rabbit meat, they forgot everything.

"Woo, it's so delicious. We haven't eaten meat for a year. We're hungry all day, woo."

"Me too, I thought I was going to starve to death in this forest."

The soldiers were even more soft-hearted when they heard this, and they broke dry biscuits for them, persuading them, "Eat slowly, you are so young, why are you in this deep mountain and old forest?"
