Chapter 207 The Assassin Comes
After Xia Daohua finished her work, she called the whole family together and said to them:
"Yesterday, Lord Li told me that some assassins who were hunting them might come to our village, so we need to be informed to take precautions. Those people are ruthless and have no conscience. They don't care whether we are ordinary people or not.
I set up many traps in our yard, near the wall, in the vegetable garden, at the door of the main room, near the warehouse, under the windows, near the kitchen, and near the well.
There are mousetraps, rocks to hit people, dung buckets to splash people, sharpened bamboo pieces, long bamboo poles, and noose that will hang people if you step on them. You must be careful when you go in and out. Children should play in the house and not run around. "
After Xia Daohua finished speaking, she went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.
Leaving behind a room full of adults looking at each other in bewilderment, and confused children.
Zhou asked her daughters-in-law to stay and look after the children, and she and Old Man Xia went out to deliver a message to Wang Lizheng's house.
This kind of thing requires someone to take the lead.
If you have to notify each villager one by one without going to the headman's house, you will most likely offend the headman.
When I arrived at the village head's house, I saw that he was still crying, his eyes were red, and he didn't even bother to take care of his beloved beard.
When Mr. Xia asked, he found out that in order to repair the house, the village head went to look for the place where he hid his money, but found that the two jars where he hid his private money were missing.
Most likely, they were discovered by the Hu people who came to the village.
Wang Lizheng was already very distressed because his house was destroyed, his fields were ruined, and there was a fire in the house, burning all the things he had accumulated over the years. He never expected that he would not even be able to save his own private money!
Seeing how sad Li Zheng was, the old couple racked their brains to find some words to comfort him, and then they gritted their teeth and explained their purpose:
"Lord Li said that there might be another wave of assassins coming into the village. It's very dangerous when they fight, so everyone should watch the door carefully and be cautious. Don't go out to watch the fun, or you will end up being killed unjustly."
When Wang Lizheng heard the news, his tears were so frightened that he stopped crying:
"No way, you're coming again?"
Old Master Xia said embarrassedly: "It doesn't count even if we say it..."
Li Zheng Wang wanted to ask Li Gan and the others to leave Beiguan Village, but he didn't dare to - he also knew that Li Gan was an official, but he didn't know how high his rank was. However, based on the attitude of Doctor Wang, it can be judged that this Lord Li should not be a lowly official.
Alas! What a miserable life!
Li Zheng Wang looked at Mr. Xia, who was embarrassed, shook his head, sighed, got off the kang, put on his slippers, and saw the old couple out the door.
He turned around and called his sons to go out and pass on the message. He asked his eldest son to go to Mr. Feng's house to inform the news, and at the same time asked his other sons to quickly go to every household in the village to inform them.
The whole village became nervous.
Most of the houses were not repaired yet. Many families had to dig a cellar to live in, so how could they guard the door?
However, if an assassin came, he probably wouldn't come to this cellar to cause trouble for them...
The villagers were so worried that they were even doing the house repair work very carefully.
Two or three days passed like this, and no assassin came.
Then everyone's tense energy relaxed a little.
Xia Daohua thought that if she was an assassin, she should wait a few more days before coming back, as the village would be unprepared by then.
However, perhaps because the assassins couldn’t help but mutter something, they entered the village that night.
It was already past one in the middle of the night when Xia Daohua discovered the fight outside.
She opened the window a little and looked out, and saw two groups of people in black clothes fighting each other, with swords flashing and sabers flying, but apart from the sound of swords clashing, there was no other sound.
Unfortunately, there was only moonlight and starlight outside, and there were many clouds in the sky, so the light was very dim and it was difficult to see which side of the fight was our side.
Xia Daohua thought about it, closed the window, entered the space quietly, and moved outside.
Xia Daohua stopped when she was not too far from the two groups of people, about a few dozen meters away.
Although she was quite safe in the space, watching the shining swords flying in front of her eyes was like watching a 4D movie, even though she knew they couldn't hit her, it was still quite oppressive.
It turns out that neither group of people is our own.
One group wore tight-fitting Hu clothes, while the other group also wore tight clothes, but the style was that of the Great Chu.
how?
Are they fighting each other to snatch the prey?
By the way, why didn’t my trap work?
Xia Daohua went to check the trap she had set, only to discover that there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground - all of them were unlucky and had stepped into the trap.
What’s interesting is that among these guys lying on the ground, there are both Han people wearing the costumes of the Great Chu Dynasty and Hu people wearing short clothes with narrow sleeves.
Xia Daohua walked over with a smile and put all the lightly injured soldiers into the space in a very good mood.
Perhaps because she had recruited so many people and had become more familiar with it, it only took Xia Daohua less than a quarter of an hour to recruit fourteen people. She also blindfolded, hooded, and handcuffed them all.
Xia Daohua kicked these panting guys a few times, piled them up, and placed them next to her stored rice, oatmeal, and other things, and then left them alone.
Then, she calmly ate a watermelon, took a stainless steel spoon, sat in front of the mirror that could observe the outside world, held the watermelon and ate it with the spoon while watching the developments outside.
It seemed that many people were woken up. They quietly opened the windows and saw a group of sturdy strangers fighting with knives outside. They then slammed the windows shut.
Xia Daohua smiled slightly.
She quietly moved to Li Gan's side and took a look. She found that Li Gan's room was still quiet. It sounded like he was sleeping, or maybe he had woken up and was waiting for the right time to make a move...
Xia Daohua passed through the wall and entered Li Gan's room, only to find that there was no one in the room!
This kid, is he hiding away?
But it's okay this way.
If he died in Beiguan Village, it might bring disaster to the village.
Xia Daohua returned to the yard and continued to hide in the space to watch the fun.
She turned on the thermal imaging scanner, scanned the area, and discovered that there were a group of people lurking on the surrounding rooftops.
Xia Daohua manipulated the space, got closer and took a closer look, and found that the people lurking on the roof happened to be Li Gan's subordinates, the Jinyi Yunqi. She immediately felt more reassured.
However, would they have noticed my action of taking the person away just now?
Well, the sky was so dark, there were so many dark clouds, and my movements didn't make any sound. They were also paying attention to the two groups fighting fiercely, so they probably didn't notice me.
At most, we will find out afterwards that the number of people is wrong...
