It can only be said that the assassin leader's martial arts skills are really not covered. Lei Ke and Ru Shuang barely draw with him. If they want to win him, they still need to work hard.

Sun Chun clenched the Throwing Knife in his hand and flew out towards the assassin leader's wrist. He only heard the assassin snort, and his action was obviously slow. Rushuang and Leike's two long knives stabbed him in the thigh and right shoulder at the same time.

The assassin leader kneels on the ground in pain and smiles at Lei Ke. He bites the poison hidden in his teeth and dies. He doesn't give Lei Ke and Rushun any reaction.

A gust of wind blowing, all the bodies on the ground turned into a mass of water stains, evaporated with the wind, leaving no trace.

"The assassins this time are the same people who attacked you a year ago." Lei Ke looks at the missing body and bows to sun Chun.

"Although the body is gone this time, they left some traces." Sun Chun said, looking to the side of the tree almost destroyed his face contaminated with poison bow and arrow.

Lei Ke and Ru Shuang look at the past together, and their faces change dramatically.

"Lei Ke, keep this bow and arrow well, and find out what kind of poison the arrow is contaminated with." Sun Chun said.

"Yes, sir."

With that, Lei Ke jumps to the tree, pulls out his bow and arrow, lands on the ground again, and hands it to sun Chun.

Sun Chun took the bow and arrow, looked at the blue light of the venom on the arrow, took out the white porcelain bottle, broke the plug, and poured some white powder on his shoulder. The blue venom gave off a pungent smell, and Xiali covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

The blue venom on the bow and arrow gradually condenses, and then sun Chun takes out a piece of white Supa to wrap the arrow and hands it back to Lei Ke.

Lei Ke takes it and puts it in the package on his back. He looks at the cart that has been lost. The horse is frightened and runs into the forest. He turns back to sun Chun for instructions.

"Young master, go down to find the horse in the forest and let Rusheng stay to protect you. After a while, you and your wife will go back in the cart."

"All right, you go." Sun Chun nodded.

Lei Ke then trots into the forest to find the horse running away.

Xia Li takes a look at the ground without a corpse. She feels that her back is hairy. For the first time in ancient times, she has experienced such cruel killing. She holds sun Chun's sleeve tightly and leans against him, but she still can't help but wonder and looks around.

"Not afraid?"

Sun Chun is close to Xia Li's ear, and his voice is gentle, which successfully pacifies her frightened heart.

"Not bad." Summer quinoa quiet answer.

This group of people in black is aimed at Sun Chun, and the first time she rescued him, the serious trauma he suffered was instigated by the master behind this group of people in black.

So who is this man? Xia Li was very curious for a moment.

If frost clenched the sword in the hand, vigilant looking around, dutifully protecting the two masters around.

Leike finds the missing horse and puts on the carriage again. Sun Chun takes Xiali to the cart, and Rushun and Leike drive the carriage to the stockade together.

Back to the courtyard, it was already dark. Li Shi and Yu Niang stayed in the courtyard. When they saw Xia Li coming back, they immediately went up.

"Where did you go and come back now?"

"Niang, my husband and I went to Jing'an county and stayed for one night." Xia Li comforted Li, who was worried. "However, Li Jiazhuang had a flood. Grandma, two uncles and two aunts also came to Jing'an county to take refuge. Now grandma and grandfather live in a hospital. Xianggong found a two-way house for the two uncles and rented it for a year, so that they can settle down temporarily."

Just as Xia Li finished, Li asked anxiously.

"What about the mother and her brothers and sisters? Do they have money to live?"

"Don't worry, my mother. My grandparents, uncles and aunts are in good health. My daughter also gave my grandmother 150 taels of silver to support my two uncles. They have no problem now." With Xia Li's words, Li's face improved.

"When can I see them?" Li thought of his mother's family came to Jing'an County, can't wait to see.

"Are your feet all right now?" Xia Li said, bending down to check Li's feet.

Yu Niang helped Li sit on the bench in the yard. Xia Li rolled up Li's trousers, took off her shoes, looked carefully and nodded.

"Niang, your feet are OK now. If you rest for a few days, it's OK to go out."

"Well, that mother will visit your grandmother in Jing'an County tomorrow." Li's a listen can go out, can't wait to say.

"Niang, you'd better rest for a few more days." Sun Chun stood in front of Li and advised him again.

Li saw sun Chun also came to persuade, resist the impulse to go out, nodded.

"Well, I'll take a few days off."

Through the early efforts of Xia Li and sun Chun, the men in the stockade weave all kinds of baskets, baskets and other handicrafts every day, while the women sit around in twos and threes, sitting under the big tree to enjoy the cool embroidery.The finished baskets and embroidery were transported out of the stockade by the men in the stockade and sent to two shops in Qingzhou.

Xia Li and uncle Fu choose a few smart and pleasant people to take care of the two shops. The money they earn is supervised by Uncle Fu. The bookkeeper who can read and read in the stockade takes care of the money. The money they sell is distributed according to the labor force of each family.

Life is peaceful and comfortable. The village is busy every day. People's faces are smiling and their wallets are bulging.

Sun Chun secretly orders Lei Ke and Rushun to arrange people to strengthen the protection around the stockade and secretly investigate the source of the poison smeared on the bow and arrow.

After nearly half a month's rest, Li couldn't help finding Xia Li.

"Girl, my mother is well now. I want to visit your grandmother. When are you free? Shall we go together?"

Sitting in the yard, Xia Li was busy sorting out the list of medicinal materials she needed to supplement. Hearing Li's words, she put down her brush, thought about it carefully, and said to Li.

"Mother, to tell you the truth, my husband and I met a bandit on our way back to Qingzhou from Jing'an county last time. We almost got hurt. Thanks to the martial arts skills of Rushun and Leike, we protected my husband and me."

"Did you report to the government?" Li's nervous grasp of summer quinoa up and down careful examination, the heart is full of guilt.

"It's my mother's negligence. I didn't notice what happened to you two."

"Niang, you don't have to worry. We have chosen to report to the official in time." Sun Chun walked to two people side, Wen Sheng said.

"Well, we'd better not go out. Safety is the most important thing." Li patted her chest and sat on the stool supported by Yu Niang. She was frightened and afraid. She wanted to go out to see her mother's family very much, but just before she went out, she knew that such a thing had happened.

Xia Li and sun Chun both sighed when they saw it. The goods sent to and from the stockade recently were protected by Lei Ke's people throughout the whole process. They were only allowed to transport once a day. Everyone got together to do their work. A special person was responsible for checking the number of people every day. Every day, the door was locked and no one was allowed to go out.

"Xianggong, did you really report to the government?" Before going to bed at night, Xia Li asks sun Chun, who is reading beside him.

"Of course I did." Sun Chun closed his book, took sun chun to his arms and comforted her, "don't worry, madam. The magistrate of Qingzhou is diligent. He has already sent people to investigate the case and protect our village."

Xia Li nods and suppresses her worries. As long as the man is by her side, she is not afraid of anything.

Half a month later

"Xianggong, I haven't seen my mother for half a month. I want to go to the mountain to see her." At the dinner table, Xia Li said to sun Chun.

"Go ahead." Sun Chun put down his chopsticks, got up and left the room, followed by Rushuang and Leike who were guarding the door.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Xia Li felt a little suffocated. After finishing her job, she came to the stockade alone.

In the stockade, the men are busy knitting baskets, and the women are sitting around the trees in twos and threes doing embroidery. They are very busy. Everyone's face is full of hope for life.

As soon as they see Xia Li coming, they consciously give up their seat and let her sit down.

After a while, uncle Fu got the news and came to Xiali.

"Madame, what brings you here?"

"It's nothing, uncle Fu. I just have nothing to do. I'll come and see you."

Xia Li looked at everyone in the stockade and said.

"Thanks to the master's blessing, our village has made a profit of more than ten liang of silver this month, and the cashier has already distributed the silver on time." Uncle Fu said and bowed to Xia Li.

"Thanks to Madame for helping us!"

"Madame, what a good man!"

The women who embroidered around also stood up one after another and praised Xia Li.

She waved her hand and quickly got up: "we are all polite. We have been together for so long, and you have not given me less delicious food. We are helping each other. You should be busy first."

Xia Li looks at other people and plans to get closer to her. She smiles politely at the people and leaves the stockade. Uncle Fu dismisses them and follows them.

"Ma'am, are you leaving now?"

"Well, fauber, I'll leave first. You've done a good job. You can manage the stockade and send me the account books of the two shops regularly." Summer quinoa told fauber.

"Yes, ma'am. I'll have the books sent to you at the end of the month." Replied fauber, smiling.

Xia Li nodded and left the stockade.

The cottage on the mountain

Xia Li bypasses the protection staff left by sun Chun and comes all the way to the cottage on yaocaoshan. Sun Chun ordered people to build the cottage from local materials on the mountain. There are a bed, a table, a chair and some simple daily necessities in the cottage. Soon after the cottage was built, Li lives in it, and the food is sent to the mountain every day.

As a matter of fact, she and sun Chun are very clear about Li's thoughts. She is depressed when they don't see Li's family. She proposes to take a rest on the mountain alone. Now that she has more than half a month, she still can't rest assured. She comes to the mountain five times to see how Li's life is.When Xia Li comes to the hut, he hears the conversation between Yu Niang and Li in the hut.

"Old lady, you don't have to mention it with your wife and your son any more. Go back to visit your family and take more people to protect you. Now there are people from the government involved. I believe those bandits dare not come out to make trouble recently." Yu Niang advised Li.

"I can't make it difficult for my daughter and son-in-law! "Li shook his head and looked out the window at the mountain.

Standing at the door, Xia Li sighs. Recently, sun Chun always goes out early and comes back late. They don't even have time to talk about themselves. Every time he comes back, it's late at night. She goes to bed early. As soon as it's dawn, he goes out after breakfast. She's left alone and ignores Li indirectly.

"Isn't that Madame?" Yu Niang turns her head and finds Xia Li. She is surprised.
