Xu Ning started to feel uneasy ever since she learned that the barbarians had arrived in Qin County, because her father and his men had not returned from hunting yet.

"Player, don't worry, your father is on his way back."

"What about those barbarians? Where are they now?"

"They are asking for the address of Xujia Village. They will be coming here soon."

"We can't wait any longer. We have to dig a trap to stop them."

"Player, you don't have to take action. Jiang Yan has already prepared 3,000 men in the mountains, which is enough to deal with this wave of people."

"His men are on the mountain, and it will take time for them to come down. Jiang Yan probably hasn't received the news yet. By the time they get here, we'll all be wiped out."

"Not really. Besides the three thousand soldiers, we also have secret guards here. They will have no problem protecting your safety."

But no matter how Baibaoxiang tried to persuade him, Xu Ning refused to listen. He didn't even smile when he saw Xu Da and Jiang Yi coming back with a bunch of prey.

"My daughter, what's wrong with you? You look so bad." Xu Da wanted to use the leather to make new boots for his daughter, but he saw Xu Ning frowning.

Jiang Yi came back and reported to Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan asked him to deal with the prey on his own. He happened to hear Xu Da's words, and then their eyes shifted to Xu Ning's face.

Xu Ning hesitated to speak, and finally just asked whether Xu Xiaohu had returned.

"No, he said he wanted to deliver the game to an old customer. He should have just arrived in the county by now."

Xu Xiaohu wanted some small prey, and asked Xu Da to help send some of it back to his home. In the end, Xu Da and Jiang Yi pushed the cart together to transport the rest of the prey back.

Xu Ning had a bad feeling and hoped that Xu Xiaohu would not meet those people.

On Qin County Street, Xu Xiaohu had just come out of a snack shop and was about to cross an alley to go to the vegetable market when he suddenly encountered a group of extremely strong men.

The people who came all had beards and looked fierce at first glance. The leader and the people behind him seemed to be gathering information.

Xu Xiaohu pricked up his ears curiously and vaguely heard the words "Xujia Village". He frowned and quickly quickened his pace. Fortunately, the person being questioned was impatient and attracted the attention of those people, so Xu Xiaohu's abnormality was not noticed by those people.

It was not until he arrived at the busy vegetable market that Xu Xiaohu realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat.

Xu Xiaohu was no longer in the mood to go shopping seriously, so he bought some fresh meat and vegetables and hurried back to the village.

Not long after he left, the group of people Xu Xiaohu met in the alley also appeared at the city gate.

In Xujia Village, Xu Ning thought about it and decided to tell Jiang Yan and the Xu family the news that the barbarians had arrived in Qin County.

Everyone in the Xu family strongly agreed with Xu Ning's suggestion to dig a trap. Jiang Yan quickly recovered from the shock of the news Xu Ning gave him and immediately arranged for the 3,000 soldiers on the mountain to go down.

The soldiers were arranged in batches nearby. There were many empty houses in Xujia Village, so all the soldiers could barely hide in them.

Jiang Yi was very quick. While arranging the soldiers, he also asked the secret guards to set up a trap and ambush at the entrance to the village.

The last thing Xu Ning did was to describe the trap he wanted and let Jiang Yi and his men set it up.

The sky gradually darkened and snowflakes began to fall again. Xu Xiaohu ran towards the village entrance panting.

Not far from him on the road behind him, he could vaguely see a group of people rushing towards this side.

Xu Xiaohu had been feeling like someone was following him, and the feeling was even stronger at this moment. He couldn't help but stop and turn his head to look back, but he saw nothing.

"Xiao Hu!" Xu Da's voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village.

"Hey! Brother Dayong! Why are you here?"

Xu Da had been waiting at the village entrance before nightfall. He didn't dare tell Xu Xiaohu that a trap had been set at the entrance, so he could only pull Xu Xiaohu aside and pretend to complain to him about the quarrel between him and his wife.

"Oh no! Brother Dayong, my sister-in-law is such a nice person. She must be angry because you treated her badly."

"Xiaohu, why are you bending your arm outward?" Xu Da pretended to be dissatisfied, took Xu Xiaohu in his arms and walked past the trap, then let him go.

"No, I didn't. Brother Dayong, I'm saying you're wrong just because I'm on your side. Think about it, your sister-in-law has worked so hard to give birth to your children, take care of the housework, and take care of the elderly. Isn't it normal for her to be angry with you occasionally?" Xu Xiaohu had no idea that Xu Da was talking about a fake topic, so he analyzed it carefully for him.

As Xu Da listened, he forgot about the barbarian. As they walked, he discussed it seriously with Xu Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, you have a point."

"Isn't it? Ever since I got married, I've felt a lot more relaxed. But I quickly realized it was all because my wife helped me so much. I should have been filial to my mother, but she felt sorry for me and took over everything myself. Then I realized how happy it is to have a wife, so how dare I make her unhappy..."

Xu Da nodded his head as he listened, "Yeah, yeah, I'm such a jerk. I actually made my wife angry. I'm going back to kneel on the washboard right now!"

The secret guards and soldiers hiding near the village entrance were originally on high alert, but somehow they felt particularly sour, and their saliva flowed from their eyes.

The barbarians appeared after Xu Da and Xu Xiaohu disappeared at the village entrance. They talked a lot on the spot and finally decided to take action after dark.

After Xu Da sent Xu Xiaohu back to his home, he remembered his real purpose of going to the village entrance.

"Luckily, Xiaohu didn't notice that I was nervous, and we were just busy talking." Xu Da scratched his head embarrassedly when he got home.

"Did those barbarians see you?" asked Old Lady Xu.

"I saw it, but they probably didn't see that I found them. I deliberately took a detour and then left quietly."

"That's good. Don't go to sleep tonight. Let's stay together after dinner." Old Mrs. Xu was worried about everyone going back to their rooms, fearing that the barbarians would make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Xu Ning and his friends were not the type to go to bed early, so naturally they had no objection.

After dark, only two candles were lit in Xujia Village, which also pointed the way to the barbarians in the dark.

As the night deepened, the candle in Xu Xiaohu's house went out. Only a small candle remained in Xu's house. Everyone gathered around the red charcoal fire and listened quietly to the sounds outside.

The snow suddenly fell heavily, and the barbarians hiding in the dark had already quietly set off, groping their way towards Xujia Village.

When all the barbarians walked to the open space at the entrance of the village, suddenly there was a sound of a broken rope. The barbarians were so scared that they huddled together. They muttered something, but before they could finish, all the barbarians felt empty under their bodies and fell into a big pit with a plop.

“@?&$_” There was a lot of noise at the bottom of the pit. The leading barbarian reacted the fastest and tried to climb out immediately, but he couldn’t climb a few steps before his body slid down again uncontrollably.
