White lightning streaked across the night sky, followed by rumbles of deafening thunder. The heavy rain that lasted the entire night was like a torrential river, making it almost impossible for people to open their eyes.

However, in such a rainstorm, a series of black figures were moving through the rain. They were wearing black raincoats and holding weapons in their hands, walking silently on the broken road at night.

If there weren't a few people in the group holding flashlights, I'm afraid almost no one would have been able to notice this group of people!

The sound of the heavy rain buried all the noises made by the group of people walking, and even the footprints of the group of people along the way were washed away by the heavy rain.

"Hehe, boss... there were so many good things in Lixi Village a few days ago. We only have this much in total. The food in Lixi Village alone is enough for us to live on for several months. Why should we be in such a hurry to plunder the food in other villages? It will be the same if we brothers take a rest first." Next to the leading man in black, a slightly thin man was holding a flashlight in his hand to light the way ahead.

This man was braving the storm with a smile on his face, but he was actually cursing in his heart. In the past, it was okay for him to go out late at night, and he wouldn't say anything about the food. But now, they obviously had enough to chat, but they had to take advantage of the storm to run out. Isn't this annoying?

Why not pick a better day? Why such a stormy day?

However, no matter how much he complained in his heart, the thin man did not dare to show it on his face, because he knew how powerful his leader was.

The leading man in black roughly wiped the rain from his face, glanced at the man next to him, and snorted disdainfully, "We previously robbed food from Lixi, Jiangtang, and Baixi villages. The reason we got here so easily was because the people in those three villages didn't take any precautions. We only have less than 200 brothers in total, and there are at least several hundred people in each of these villages. Even if all these people were women, if they had taken precautions and wanted to resist, we might not have been able to defeat them."

"Isn't there an old saying that goes 'It's better to become famous early'? So, of course, we have to rob things early too. We have to take advantage of the fact that these villages haven't reacted yet and rob them. Wait until they react. How can we take it easy? So, don't even think about a storm tonight. Even if it rains knives, we have to come here and plunder the surrounding villages first!"

The howling of the storm was very loud, but the voice of the strong man in black was clearly heard by the thin man next to him.

When the thin man heard this, he smacked his lips and thought, isn't that the truth?

If it weren't for the fact that the two villages' awareness of defense was too weak before, they would have immediately backed down when they saw so many people rushing into their homes with ferocious looks, which allowed them to steal a large amount of food.

If they really wanted to fight with those dealers, they would probably suffer a lot of losses.

"Boss, you are really smart! If we hadn't listened to you, we would definitely not be able to grab so many good things, hehe!" After hearing this, another man next to him also echoed in a servile manner.

"Now that we've reached Wanxi Village, we're sure to catch them off guard and snatch a ton of goodies! I've heard that many of the villagers in Wanxi go hunting in the mountains. These past few days, it's snowing, and they've all been staying home with nothing to do. They're definitely going to hunt in the mountains. Maybe we can even have some meat this time!"

It has been a long time since I last ate meat. After saying this, the man sniffed. He still remembered the fragrant pot of chicken soup in Lixi Village a few days ago!

He swiped the raindrops off his face, not caring whether the rain was sticky, uncomfortable and a little cold on his body.

However, just when this person was fantasizing that he would be able to eat meat in the next second, he suddenly heard a series of rapid whistles in his ears!

"Oh no! Someone in Wanxi Village has discovered us!" The black-clothed burly man's face changed and he shouted loudly: "Let's move forward quickly and see if we can get something out of this village!"

With so many of them coming out together, they can’t make a wasted trip!

…

In this severe storm, the trees in the mountains were rustling, and Qin Suyun did not hear any whistle from the village entrance.

However, Dahei and the others had much better hearing than Qin Suyun. When the whistle sounded outside, Dahei and the others immediately pricked up their ears, opened the door and ran to Qin Suyun's door. They barked at the door and even scratched Qin Suyun's bedroom door with their claws.

There were nine dogs in total, including Dahei and the others. Qin Suyun, who was sleeping in the room, naturally could not have failed to hear such a loud noise. She quickly got up and put on her clothes. However, at this time, Zhazha, who was originally sleeping upstairs, was also woken up by the noise made by Dahei and the others. He flapped his wings and flew down directly from the glass house on the third floor.

"Woof woof, woof woof!——"

Xiaoqi and the others barked excitedly, pulling Qin Suyun's trouser legs and wanting to take her outside. Qin Suyun frowned and went straight downstairs.

This was an agreement made in the village beforehand. Once the patrol blew the whistle at night, it meant that criminals were coming to their village. Zhao Xingguo asked all the villagers who heard the whistle to come out of their houses with their weapons and make an effort to protect their village.

Among them, the elderly and children should all stay in their rooms and not come out.

There was a huge storm outside. Qin Suyun put on a raincoat, took a flashlight and a shovel from the yard, and went out with Dahei and the others.

Qin Suyun's house was built at the innermost part of the village, and it was the farthest distance from her house to the village entrance. When she took Dahei and the others out, many people in the village were holding umbrellas and raincoats, and walking towards the village entrance with various spare weapons and flashlights in their hands.

Everyone had a frown on their face, their expressions were solemn. Some of the big guys were holding kitchen knives, some were holding hoes, some were holding sickles and carrying poles. All the relatively mature and lethal things, no matter what they were, were taken out by the big guys. There were all kinds of things.

Qin Suyun was very fast, but there were other people in the village who were even faster than Qin Suyun, especially those who lived nearby, especially those who lived near the village entrance.

The whistle that echoed in the storm stopped quietly at this moment.

Qin Suyun pursed her lips. It seemed that someone had already reached the protective wall at the entrance of the village.

There were many people who thought the same as Qin Suyun. They all quickened their pace involuntarily. At this time, regardless of gender, as long as they were adults and had some strength, they all took the initiative to walk towards the village head. Even if there was such a strong wind and rain overhead, it could not stop them at all.

…

"These damn guys, I didn't expect that someone would actually think of coming to our village to steal food! If we hadn't built this protective wall, with so many people on the other side, maybe they would have succeeded!" Standing on the wall, Zhao Jinsheng spat fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "These guys stole our food, it's obvious that they don't intend to leave us a way out. They want us to starve to death in this cold winter! We must not let them get their way this time. We must let them know how powerful our village is!"

"That's right!" Staring at the dark crowd of people below and the flashlights that kept flashing, several young men took out their flashlights and wanted to shine them down to see how many people there were in the group.

But a quick glance at the series of figures under the protective wall made many people's eyes suddenly darken.

The number of these strong adult men is clearly greater than the total number of all the adult men in their village!

Similar to other villages, the largest number of people left in Wanxi Village are the elderly, children, women and children. This is also a common problem in most villages in the countryside. After all, it is too difficult to make money in the village. In order to make the family live a better life, many couples choose to go out to work and earn money, leaving their children to be raised by the elderly at home.

"These guys must have been to other villages before coming here, otherwise they would not have been able to bypass the three villages in front and come directly to ours. They robbed so much food and still want to rob us. These guys are really greedy!" Even though he was almost unable to open his eyes due to the rain, Zhao Xingguo still had a sullen face and tried to analyze the group of criminals under the protective wall.

"Village chief, what do you think we should do now?" The protective wall was only so wide, and not many people could stand on it. Most of the people were waiting anxiously on the road at the entrance of the village. The patrol members looked around with bloodshot eyes.

The group of gangsters under the protective wall were all carrying knives and other sharp weapons, completely unlike the villagers in their village, who were all holding carrying poles and hoes in their hands. The gap between the two sides could be seen at a glance.

"Hey, I'm telling you, your village is pretty quick. In the blink of an eye, you've erected such a massive protective wall... You're such a naive bunch, do you really think you can hold us back with just this wall? I advise you to open the door and hand over the food, or else don't blame us for being rude to you!"

Outside the village wall, the group of men wearing raincoats and holding weapons were shouting at Zhao Xingguo and his companions on the protective wall.
