Among them, the most well-built man raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. His black and white eyes seemed especially resolute and spirited in the dark. There were still a few unhealed wounds on his face, and congealed blood stained his face. He looked like an Asura in the dark night.
"It seems that the owner of the farm isn't an ordinary person … These were left for us on purpose …"
"Our whereabouts have been exposed? Then, what should we do now, Captain? "
They were extremely disgusted with thieves, but they were at their wits' end now. If they didn't do this, the brothers who had escaped with them would either die of illness or from a relapse of their injuries. They had no choice but to do this.
They were also very careful, and each household only took a small amount for emergencies. Logically speaking, it shouldn't arouse suspicion in a short period of time.
"Just keep it. What else can we do?" The man called Captain bent over and picked up the wrapped items. "If the owner of the farm had any ill intentions, he would have been waiting for us with the bailiffs. Why would he be so quiet …"
"What about these?" The man's companions were slightly hesitant.
The Captain said, "It's probably because the owner is kind. Seeing that we didn't steal everything and only took some, he probably guessed that we weren't in a good situation, so he secretly helped us. Take the items away and remember this kindness in our hearts. We'll find a way to repay him in the future. "
The Captain couldn't be blamed for thinking this way. They had been to many farms, and this was the richest one. It was also the one with the most food.
The few tenant farmers in this farm didn't live a good life, but they had enough to eat and wear. They even had a lot of surplus and could save up money.
He had seen many tenant farmers who worked for the farm before. They were all skin and bones, and they worked so hard that their hands and feet cracked. The squires exploited them, and the imperial court imposed various exorbitant taxes on them. They didn't even have enough to eat a full meal, let alone save up money.
Just by comparing the two, he could guess that even if the owner of this farm wasn't a good person, he wasn't evil either.
The Captain seemed to have a lot of prestige among them. After hearing his words, the others immediately felt relieved.
When they took the big bag back and opened it, they found that the owner of the farm was better than they had imagined.
Not only were there warm clothes to resist the night wind, bedding, life-saving medicinal herbs, and clean white cloth, there were even two portions of streaky pork wrapped in lotus leaves, weighing at least five catties. Next to it were some small pieces of bones, which were the best for making soup.
Apart from these bits and pieces of food, there were even a few earthenware bowls and chopsticks, a medicinal stove, and more than two buckets of rice.
These things didn't look precious, but they were extremely meticulous.
"This …" One of them had sharp eyes and even took out half a tael of silver from the folded bedding. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

Normally, any one of them would be able to afford these things. However, their lives had fallen to the lowest point, and they could only endure hunger and the torment of illness. It was said that it was easy to add flowers to a brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in a snowy day. At this moment, he deeply understood the meaning of this saying.
For a moment, even those who didn't like to cry the most had their eyes turn red.
"Why are all of you so hesitant? Go stew the meat, boil the bones into soup, and decoct the medicinal herbs. Don't delay. "
The Captain, who Meng Liang called Meng Hun, was the first to recover from his gloomy mood. He passed the new bedding to the injured brothers. Although the cave they were hiding in was secluded, it was very cold and damp, and the ground was wet with puddles of water.
They had no choice but to cover the ground with a layer of dry branches and haystacks. However, such a simple and crude environment was extremely unfavorable for healing.
Now that they had good medicinal herbs, white cloth to change wounds, and warm bedding, it was like a dream.
At least, the brothers in the cave had a chance to live.
He didn't want to wake up the next day to find the corpses of his former brothers dead.
Although there were no seasonings, the taste of the fresh, top-notch pork was still very good after being casually stewed in water. Then, he drank some soup made from the bones and accompanied it with the sticky rice porridge. A warm current flowed through his limbs, instantly giving him the illusion that he had returned to the human world from hell.
Meng Hun's originally anxious heart gradually calmed down. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil. He was afraid that these things had been tampered with. However, after checking, he found that there was nothing wrong with these things, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
He was the one who had misunderstood the owner of the farm by gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
"County Commandant, do you want to send someone to ask about that family tomorrow?"
Since he had received their kindness, he naturally had to return it. Not to mention, this was a life-saving favor.
Meng Hun gulped down the hot rice porridge and gritted his teeth. "Of course we have to ask. I, Meng Hun, haven't learned many words, but I know that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water … Today, he saved my brother. In the future, when I get my revenge, my life is his!"
Although he said so, his current identity could not be exposed. If he really had a relationship with that kind family, it would be easy to implicate them. This was not repaying kindness, but harming people … Meng Hun's name was "Hun", but he was not.
Speaking of revenge, one of them gritted his teeth. "That bastard is very cunning. I don't know where he is hiding now."
Meng Hun said without batting an eyelid, "A dog can't stop eating sh * t. That bastard is still a bastard even if he is in a different place. Hejian County is a place that people from Cangzhou have to pass on their way to Shangjing. Although it is a small place, it is a good place to raise beauties. That bastard hates being restrained by the elders in his family. Now that he is out of Meng County, Cangzhou, there is no one around to restrain him. How can he give up the opportunity to hunt for beauties? "
As long as he stood guard here, he would definitely be able to catch that bastard. Actually, he and his brothers had been investigating for the past two days and had indeed found some useful information. Based on the evidence, it was highly possible that Meng Liang was already in Hejian County!
Thinking of his wife and daughter who had died tragically, Meng Hun clenched his fists in anger. Blue veins popped out on his forehead. He wanted to tear Meng Liang alive with his bare hands!
He was a retainer of the Meng's. He was destined to go through fire and water and serve the Meng's.
There were hundreds of scars on his body. Which one of them was not caused by the Meng's?
He had been on the brink of death several times, and which one was not because of the Meng's?
He was not smart, and he did not know many words. He learned everything slowly, but he knew that he had to be grateful. He could not be two-faced and treacherous!
Meng Hun was grateful for the care of the Meng's for his family. He wished he could give his heart to the Meng's in return. He was willing to be a pawn of the Meng's in this life, and he would do the same in the next life. But … but his loyalty was exchanged for the death of his wife and daughter!
