Chapter 59 Bandits will attack at night
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the kang shuddered in their hearts!
"Girl...what did you say?" Feng put down her needlework and rushed to Xiao Nuobao's pillow.
Xiao Nuobao opened her sleepy eyes.
The scene that suddenly appeared in front of her made her unable to bear to look directly. After rubbing her eyes with her white and soft little hands, her voice became a little hoarse.
"Liang~There are many bad guys coming to kill."
"There is a lot of blood, and many people have been killed..."
"Many villages will have trouble...There are swords and arrows everywhere!" Xiao Nuobao frowned and grabbed her little quilt.
She saw bandits making trouble and a sea of blood all over the sky.
It may even affect Daliu Village!
Jiang Fengnian clenched his fists and his throat tightened: "Sister, what you mean is that bandits are going to plunder the village."
Feng's face turned pale.
"It seems that there will be a riot." Her lips trembled slightly: "But this is not surprising. Since the city has been in chaos, mother has been afraid that there will be such a day."
After all, food is the foundation of the people.
Once the granary is empty, bandits will definitely cause chaos everywhere and take the opportunity to rob.
"The people in the city live scattered, and there are soldiers patrolling, so it's better." Feng whispered, "But if something happens in our countryside, it will be difficult for the government to arrive in a short time. Moreover
, many of us make a living by growing grain. If the thieves want to steal grain, they will inevitably target us." But some bandits don't know that many villages like their Daliu Village have actually sold all the grain in the fields, and it is difficult to be rich.
Speaking of bandits, Feng had experienced it once when she was a child.
At that time, her mother's village was poor, and she couldn't steal anything.
But the bandits didn't leave empty-handed, and they were poor and vicious. When they couldn't get money and food, they robbed a few women and set the village on fire.
That time, most of the people in their village were killed. It was a tragic event.
Hearing this, Li Qiqiao and Sun Chunxue on the kang were scared and sweating.
Feng Jing and Feng Miao also stiffened.
"Mom, what should we do? We can't let the thieves harm our village!" Jiang Fenghu stood up anxiously.
Feng Shi had been through a lot. She
was more or less calm.
She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at Jiang Fengnian: "Everything depends on human effort. As long as our village is united, we may not lose to the bandits. Boss, go and call your village chief uncle over, and let's discuss what to do!"
Seeing that his mother was still able to stay calm, Xiao Nuobao snuggled into Feng's arms, and his fat hands hugged his neck tightly, trying to comfort Feng.
Don't be afraid of your mother, she is still here.
Soon, the village chief, with his frozen beard, rushed over with Yang Tianmei.
When he learned that bandits were going to attack, the village chief's eyes were full of bloodshot, and he looked at Nuobao pleadingly.
"Good child, is this true?"
"Really, within five days." Xiao Nuobao sat down obediently with worry.
The village chief and his daughter had long believed in Xiao Nuobao's words.
The two of them looked terrified, and their hearts seemed to be hanging with iron weights, constantly falling down.
Seeing that the village chief was stunned, Feng said quickly: "Village chief, fortunately we were able to learn the news in advance and had time to respond. You are an experienced person, so you know how to arrange to prevent bandits." The
village chief's thoughts were forcibly pulled back.
He shuddered and looked at Nuobao again: "My dear, can you tell the village chief, do you know how many bandits there will be this time?"
Little Nuobao closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Twenty or thirty people, coming at night, with swords and bows and arrows!"
The village chief bit his lip tightly: "There are more than thirty households in our village, more than one hundred and eighty people, not counting children and the elderly, there are more than sixty men and more than forty women, it's not that we dare not fight them."
These words encouraged the Jiang family.
Jiang Fenghu immediately shouted with red eyes: "Village chief, we will listen to your arrangements. No matter what, we must protect our village!"
"Okay." The village chief widened his eyes and said: "Tian Mei, Fengnian Fenghu, go and knock the gong now, and call our villagers to gather in the school!"
The night was dark and the wind was cold.
The weak light of the oil lamp flickered in the school.
Feng wrapped Xiao Nuobao like a zongzi and rushed there early. Soon, villagers were awakened from their sleep and gathered here yawning.
This sudden meeting in the middle of the night.
Without the village chief speaking, everyone realized the seriousness.
So no one complained about being disturbed, and they all waited for the village chief to speak.
After all the families had sent people, the village chief told them about the bandit incident. For a moment, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Some men's eyes were red.
Some women almost fell to the ground.
"Did our village's lucky star say that?" Mrs. Liu and the others trembled, "Then it must be true. Village chief, what should we do?"
The village chief looked at everyone and said firmly, "Don't panic. There are quite a few people in our village. As long as we are united, we are not afraid of anything. From tonight, everyone should cheer up. Each family should send at least one man to guard the village at night."
There are more than 30 households in Daliu Village.
Under the call of the village chief, many families were willing to send as many people as possible. Fengnian and Fenghu also took the lead in joining. The patrol team had nearly 50 men in a short time.
The village chief was pleased and wanted to divide them into two groups.
Each group had more than 20 people, one group would guard the first half of the night, and the other group would be responsible for the second half of the night.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao looked up and shook his head.
"Not enough."
"What are you talking about, good boy?" The village chief asked hurriedly.
"This arrangement is not enough." Xiao Nuobao said word by word.
The little guy knew very well that he must take adequate precautions this time to avoid a disaster.
As for the twists and turns of the process, it was a secret that could not be revealed. She could not explain it clearly, so she could only urge the villagers to do their best in everything.
The bandits are all extremely vicious and cruel. If they come at night, according to the current arrangement, the patrolmen must be the first to fight.
But the villagers are not good at fighting, and they can be easily dispersed at once. They may even be killed by the bandits before they have time to inform other villagers.
Xiao Nuobao glanced at the villagers, and his mind moved slightly. He whispered to Feng first.
Feng nodded, stepped forward and said, "It's better to separate the guards and patrols. Women who are strong can also join. In this way, the men are responsible for guarding and the women are responsible for patrolling. Once the bandits come, we have enough people and can react faster."
The village chief knew that this was what Xiao Nuobao meant.
He immediately made new arrangements.
The young men were divided into two groups for guarding, and the women were divided into two groups for patrolling.
Yang Tianmei nodded vigorously after hearing this: "It's better to do it this way. We can't just let the men bleed. We women are not short of arms and legs, and we are not inferior to you men. We can't just stay at home and wait to be protected by you!"
These words ignited the fighting spirit of many women.
Even some old people wanted to join.
Seeing everyone so united, the village chief's eyes were wet, so he picked some strong and powerful old people to join the guard team.
Soon, the villagers were in place.
Everyone was very alert.
The men guarded the entrance of the village, and the women lit torches and patrolled everywhere.
But even with this, Xiao Nuobao still felt that there was still a few points.
She remembered that she had seen the bandits use bows and arrows well.
Then he pulled the village chief's old sleeve and said, "Grandpa village chief, we need to make some defensive things~"
Otherwise, the villagers would be defenseless and become meat targets when arrows were flying at them. They could only wait for death in vain.
"Okay!" The village chief took Nuobao's words as his guideline and called on the villagers to make some wooden shields.
