In the dark night, braving the violent storm, Zhao Xingguo and several others stood on the wall, staring with extremely grim expressions at the large group of black-clad robbers below the protective wall.
These people kept shouting and threatening, asking the villagers to open the door.
"Grandpa is giving you face by taking a fancy to the things in your broken mountain village! You must not be shameless! If you don't open the door now, we will break it down ourselves. Then don't blame us. We will kill everyone in your village!" The thin man had a grim smile on his face, and his eyes were full of malice.
"That's right! If you guys open the door, the most we can do is take some food. If the food is gone, you can always plant more. But if you lose your lives, then we'll really have nothing!"
"Don't tell us that killing is illegal. No one cares about killing people these days! Even if we slaughtered everyone in your village, no one would bother us! So I advise you to open the door quickly! Don't force us to do anything! If you make us angry, we'll kill you all and treat you like two-legged sheep!"
"In the county town ahead, many people like to eat two-legged sheep! Especially freshly slaughtered, fresh two-legged sheep!"
"You've never heard of a two-legged sheep, right? Two-legged sheep refers to living people like you, hahahahahaha!"
A group of guys stood there, speaking increasingly harsh words and threatening everyone, as if they had already taken control of the entire Wanxi Village.
There was not much space for fighting above the protective wall, and most of the villagers stood behind the protective wall. However, the voices of the robbers outside the wall continued to reach everyone's ears.
Qin Suyun stood behind the protective wall, her face so dark that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it, and the faces of the other people around her were also extremely ugly.
Dahei and the others were affected by the surrounding atmosphere and were also restless. Their snow-white fangs, which were sharp for sharp attacks, were faintly visible in the darkness, and they let out bursts of low growls from their throats.
Standing on the protective wall with Zhao Xingguo were several members of the patrol team who were on guard tonight. They were also the first group of people who rushed to the village entrance immediately after hearing the whistle.
One of the patrol members, sweating profusely, saw the situation below the protective wall. "Village Chief, what should we do now? Do we really have to listen to them and open the door?"
"No! This door absolutely cannot be opened! We built this protective wall to keep these guys out. If we let them open the door now, what difference will it make whether the protective wall is up or not? We might as well just let them in from the beginning!" Zhao Xingguo shook his head grimly. "Besides, how do you know if what these guys say is true?"
"How can we trust the character of people who would sneak into the village in the dark to steal food and supplies?!"
"Instead of gambling on the luck of these guys, it's better to just go for it. I want to see how these guys can climb up from under such a high protective wall!"
"Yes! That's right! Instead of gambling on their character, we might as well rely on ourselves!"
So when Zhao Xingguo finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement. They wanted to rob their food and leave them no chance of survival. So why not just fight to the death?
Zhao Xingguo stood on the wall and shouted coldly at the group of people below: "I tell you, we in Wanxi Village will never compromise! You want to steal our food, then don't blame us for being rude to you! You want to massacre everyone in our village, then we will drag everyone down with us!"
"You tell us so much, but it's nothing more than that you can't break through our protective wall. If you had a way to climb up, you wouldn't have told us so much! So if you have the ability, just go up directly, don't whine to us here, I tell you! We in Wanxi Village are definitely not afraid of guys like you!" Zhao Zhengde frowned, and laughed coldly, regardless of the embarrassed look on his face caused by the storm.
"Fuck! You guys are simply refusing to accept a toast and then drinking a forfeit! I'll show you if this little broken wall of yours can stop us!" The skinny man looked up at Zhao Xingguo and his men standing on the protective wall, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Old Cheng, take a few people over there and carry over those lampposts that fell down on the road earlier! Let's use the lampposts to knock down this iron gate! I want to see how long this broken iron gate can hold out?!"
"Yes!" The men in black came out immediately after hearing the sound. Several of them followed and walked in the direction they came from, looking for the lamppost that collapsed on the road.
Seeing the group of robbers below looking for the lamppost, Zhao Xingguo and his group looked grim.
Although those lampposts were hollow, they were made of metal on the outside and were extremely strong! If this group of people really carried the collapsed lampposts to hit the door, people like them might not be able to withstand the impact.
Whether it was Zhao Xingguo, Zhao Zhengde, or the crowd around who heard these words, they all became agitated involuntarily, and all of them had grim expressions as if they were facing a great enemy.
Qin Suyun didn't care too much at this moment. She stood up and shouted coldly, "Don't panic, everyone! If they use the lamppost to smash the door, we should first beat them half to death with stones. There are so many people below them, so we can kill any one we can!"
In such stormy weather, it is impossible to start a fire, and it is not suitable to pour boiling water from the protective wall as in ancient times. However, they have just experienced an earthquake, so apart from anything else, they can use all the large and small pieces of rubble at their disposal!
"Right! That's right! If you dare to smash our door, we'll just stone you to death!"
Qin Suyun's words were like a lit fuse, exploding directly among the crowd, and everyone in the village took action in unison.
The strong men carried the big stones directly to the top of the protective wall, while the weaker women worked in pairs or three to carry the stones upwards. From the stairs below the protective wall to the top of the protective wall, the villagers even organized themselves to stand on the stairs to deliver the stones.
The strong patrol members standing on the protective wall took stones and threw them down directly, throwing them wherever there were more people. As soon as the robbers approached the protective wall, they all threw stones at them.
There were more than a dozen people standing on the protective wall, like tireless catapults. As long as someone handed them a stone, they would smash it hard at the crowd below.
"Bang, bang, bang!——"
The skinny man who was still talking nonsense was immediately knocked down by Zhao Jinsheng, and a stone hit his chest! Zhao Jinsheng threw the watermelon-sized stone down fiercely, hitting the other person!
Several people who were originally standing next to the thin man were also hit by the rapidly thrown stones. Some of them only had their skin scratched, but some were hit hard by the stones!
One of the unlucky men was even hit on the head by a stone!
Blood flowed straight down along with the pouring rain. The originally intact head was directly smashed into a hole by the stone. The man in black rolled his eyes and fell straight back. No one knew whether he was killed by the stone or knocked unconscious by it.
"Back off! Back off! Everyone, back off!" The leading burly man in black shouted loudly with a dark face.
He was originally just standing among the crowd, leisurely, and had no intention of speaking.
In his eyes, whether it was Wanxi Village, Lixi Village, or the villagers from Jiangtang Village before, they were all a bunch of useless people with no future! As long as he threatened such useless people, they would definitely open the door directly, without him having to do anything himself.
Therefore, he just let the thin man handle these things.
However, what no one expected was that after just a few minutes, the leading man in black felt as if his face had been slapped dozens of times, and it was red and black!
He may not care about the lives of the subordinates who came with him, but he absolutely cannot tolerate these country villagers slapping him in the face like this!
Ever since he escaped from prison after the earthquake, he has never encountered anyone who dared to hit him in the face again!
