Chapter 44: clean up the scum
Chapter 44 Clean up the scum
Yang Xiaotao looked excited, "I must study hard!"
Yang Xiaomei hesitated to speak.
Ye Anlan glanced at her, "You can practice martial arts with my third sister and younger sister. Unlike Xiao Tao, you are born with great strength. What she learned doesn't apply to you."
Yang Xiaomei happily thanked Ye Anlan. She didn't mean to be the same as her sister, she just wanted to give herself a chance to become stronger.
"It's getting late, Aunt Su went to get them two old quilts, and Xiaohe told them about my rules."
"Hey!" The mother and daughter agreed, one went to search for the old quilts they left unused in the car, and the other sat at the table and told the Yang family about Ye Anlan's rules in detail.
After finishing speaking, Su Xiaohe pointed to the bowls, chopsticks and clay pots on the table again, "We eat and drink separately, and we won't mix with other people. This belongs to your family, and you share it among yourself. Mark it."
This is what Ye Anlan requested, in case someone gets sick, in this way, the possibility of mutual infection can be reduced as much as possible.
Although the Yang family couldn't understand Ye Anlan's order, they didn't question it or take it seriously.
Everything Su Xiaohe emphasized to them, they kept it firmly in their hearts.

After midnight, Ye Anlan handed over the guarding duties to Ye Jinkui and Zheng Fengshou.
She stretched her muscles and was about to go back to sleep with her little sister, when a short scream suddenly came from her ear.
The voice stopped abruptly, and it didn't last long, but Ye Anlan could tell that it belonged to a child's clear tone.
She frowned slightly, "Father, Fengshou, I'll go and have a look. If there is anything unusual here, you should immediately shout and I will come back as soon as possible."
Although she suspected that it was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, she felt a little bit uneasy about letting her let it go.
Under Ye Jinkui's worried eyes, Ye Anlan hung from the tree like a monkey and swung past.
It's not that she insists on showing off her abilities, it's that she is worried that someone will dig a trap on the way she must pass.
As a rookie who has just started to do light work, Ye Anlan doesn't have the ability to step on a trap and still go straight up.
For the sake of prudence, she would rather hang on a tree as a monkey.
Swinging on the tree for a while, Ye Anlan heard two men whispering in the distance.
"This brat, almost let him run away!"
"It's better to beat less, or I would be honest!"
“.”
She frowned and swung to a tree closer to them.
Under the tree, there were two men, one was holding the child's collar tightly, the other was covering the child's mouth, and the other man was burning firewood and boiling water in a large pot.
He has the appearance of a simple and honest man with a frowning face, and he looks like a miserable refugee who can be seen everywhere and lives in hardship.
While adding firewood, he said to the other two in a worried tone: "The evil star hasn't left yet, is it really okay for us to eat?"
The refugee who grabbed the child's collar snorted, "We didn't eat his food, he's crazy to meddle in his own business."
Another person said: "It's better to be careful. There are children in their team."
The man shrugged his shoulders, "Isn't that already being careful? Otherwise, why do my brothers only eat food in the middle of the night? It's not that big brother, you firmly disagree with us eating during the day, and insist on letting my brothers avoid that evil star."
Hearing this, Ye Anlan felt that there was no need for her to listen any longer, especially since the child's struggle was getting weaker and weaker, and she was about to exhaust herself.
She bent her bow and set an arrow, shot the man covering the child's mouth to death, and then cut the throat of the man holding the child's collar with a knife.
The man who was boiling water subconsciously turned around when he heard the muffled sound, and his fragile neck just met the blade that Ye Anlan offered.
"Are you okay?" After killing the three scum here, Ye Anlan turned to look at the little dirty boy who was panting heavily.
The child shook his hands and grabbed Ye Anlan's trousers, "I, my brother, my brother is still in their hands."
Ye Anlan frowned, "Then you lead the way, and I'll help you rescue him."
She will not blindly soften her heart, because it will only put herself in danger. She can't sacrifice herself for others, but within the scope of her ability, she doesn't mind helping others.
The child stood up staggeringly, gritted his teeth and dragged his injured foot, and took Ye Anlan to find the den where those people were imprisoning the child.
Ye Anlan noticed his white wrists, delicate neck, and the tattered but obviously well-made clothes. She concluded—this is a child of good origin.
The two of them, one in front of the other, spent about half a cup of tea time and walked to the half-collapsed thatched hut on the edge of the grove.
There were cursing voices coming from the thatched hut, and occasionally a few words drifted out, making it clear that the people in the house were gambling.
Ye Anlan motioned for the child to find a place to hide, then walked into the house lightly with a long knife in hand.
The light in the room was dim, there were two sloppy men who were gambling in front of the oil lamp, and a half-grown boy lying unconscious by the window.
As soon as Ye Anlan came in, the two men who were keen to gamble found her, but before they became vigilant, Ye Anlan fired two arrows and eliminated the two.
"Come in." She beckoned to the child hiding outside, "Your brother is unconscious, do you know what's going on?"
The child nodded, "He was knocked out."
Ye Anlan walked over and felt the pulse of the half-grown boy, "Those people don't attack hard. In about half an hour, your brother will wake up by himself."
The child breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."
Ye Anlan asked him, "Are there any other accomplices in this group?"
Killing a few is killing. This kind of scum who has no bottom line, if there is a fish that slips through the net, it will definitely harm more children in the future. Instead of letting them continue to commit crimes, she might as well work harder and send them to Lord Yan to pay for their sins.
The child shook his head, "No, there are only five of them."
Ye Anlan was relieved now, and she asked the child, "You are a young man with a thin skin and tender flesh, why did you go out with only a servant?"
The kid was a little guilty, after all, what he said before was not a servant, but his brother.
Seeing that Ye Anlan didn't intend to pursue it, he pursed his lips in embarrassment, "I, I have fallen out with my family."
"Huh?" Ye Anlan found it inconceivable, she asked the child, "Now that the world is in such chaos, you actually ran away from home just for a moment of gambling? Are you stupid, or are you not afraid of death?"
The child was furious, "I didn't do it out of anger! They framed my brother, making my brother unable to stay at home, me."
The stupid author forgot to set the time... Thank you for your recommendation, Piao Piao Ya (*з)(ε｀*) 啦
