You lead them closer quietly, one group guarding the gate, the other going up the embankment to spray pepper spray, sprinkle lime, and add the itching powder Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding gave you. Otherwise, if you go alone and bandits jump down to attack you, how can you protect both the gate and the embankment?

Knowing his own abilities, Fan Jin didn't hesitate or object at all: "Alright, Shuiqing, you go home. You all guard the courtyard gate and don't come out!"

After giving his instructions, he quickly ran towards Feng Da and the others' house.

After Li Changlin returned, they trained and drilled Feng Da and his group. Pepper spray, lime, and itching powder were distributed to everyone in advance, and their usage was taught countless times to ensure that everyone, men, women, old and young, knew how to use them!

After being woken up in the quiet night, everyone jumped out of bed, quickly grabbed the cloth bags that had been prepared in advance, and rushed out of the house.

Holding a large knife in his right hand and a cloth bag in his left, the eighteen men were all gathered in a short time.

At the same time, Li Dani and five other women rushed out of the house, carrying knives and cloth bags. However, instead of following Fan Jin to Shanshui Village, they turned around and rushed towards the main courtyard.

This was agreed upon long ago: if anything happens, the men will rush to the front to fight the bandits, while the women will stay at home to take care of the elderly and children!

Shuiqing had arrived home. Her house was a traditional courtyard house. She stood in the middle of the courtyard and shouted, and immediately everyone in the house woke up.

"Sister, bandits are coming!" Hu Wenhua, carrying a long knife, was the first to rush out.

Ling Ran, Bai Ziqian, Ding Heli, and Butcher Hu followed closely behind. The men's clothes were simple and convenient, quick to put on and quick to rush out.

Before long, everyone else had gathered, and the five women, Li Dani and Zhou Yu, arrived just then.

Shuiqing felt gratified to see her well-trained family members rushing out.

Indeed, the repeated drills have been very effective. At least everyone remained calm and composed during this moment of panic, and did not lose their composure.

"The bandits are here, and it's worse than we anticipated! Fan Jin is leading the men to the village to provide support, and we also need to prepare for the worst." Shui Qing explained the situation.

After hearing this, Qin Yilin wanted to curse Fan Qian's ancestors for eighteen generations, but then she remembered that Fan Qian's ancestors were also Fan Jin's ancestors, so she couldn't curse them.

She said angrily, "Shuiqing, the situation is not optimistic. You stay at home with the children, and the master and I will go and help Fan Jin."

We don't know how many people have come in yet, and the villagers are all asleep. I'm afraid many of them have already been killed.

Now we can only pray that those bandits haven't had a chance to kill the villagers yet.

Ding Heli nodded in agreement: "The situation is different now than before. We have to go and help. But Yilin, you don't have to go. We men will go!"

We must keep all those bandits under control in the village and not let them come over. Otherwise, this place is full of elderly, weak, women and children, and it will be terrible if any of them get hurt!

"Yes! We men will go!" Bai Ziqian shouted excitedly.

He gripped the broadsword tightly in his hand, wishing he could rush over right now.

Ling Ran coldly shoved Bai Ziqian towards Xing Huiwanxia and said coldly, "You're not a real man. Stay here and wait for us to come back."
