Don't chase a desperate enemy, especially when there is a huge gap in strength between them.
The veterans stopped in unison. As expected, the old man called out, "Don't chase! It's already hard to drive these plague gods away! Hurry and go to Liujia Village to help put out the fire!"
Zhang Tieniu had been told many times by his father that whenever he saw the old man, he should obey his instructions.
So he immediately left a few villagers to guard the village, and then took the rest of the people to chase the Tai family and ran north.
Although there were people guarding Liujia Village, everyone was afraid of so many evil demons, not to mention that they were just ordinary farmers and had no power to resist.
Just now, the Russian devils broke in and became angry when they saw that the village was empty. They set a fire and rushed to Taijia Village.
The Liu family members who had been hiding dared to come out to put out the fire, but there were few people and the fire was so big that it burned seven or eight thatched houses!
Some villagers remember crying loudly and wishing they could grow eight hands to save their home!
Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Tai and his men arrived.
Everyone took turns running to fetch water, and moved the firewood pile that was about to burn, cutting off the fire path, and finally put out the fire.
But Sancha River in the distance was not so lucky. It was dark night and the county magistrate was far away. When they heard the bell, everyone, young and old, realized that something had happened, but it was too late to escape.
The Russian devils set fires and hunted down villagers everywhere. When they came across people with nice houses, they would search for their belongings and even temporarily vent their animal desires!
Anyone who resists will be hacked to death!
The good village fell into hell almost instantly!
All the luck that we had before turned into poison of regret at this moment!
Why didn't you listen to the village chief? Why didn't you follow him into the mountains to hide? You've been guarding your home and yard, and all you've got is your family torn apart and your whole family dead!
A man wielded a hatchet to kill the demon lying on his wife, and was immediately beheaded by the other demons. The woman, who had been abused, cried bitterly and banged her head against a millstone, dying.
The child who had lost his parents cried in panic and was pulled out of the cabinet by the Russian devils and hacked to death!
Some people were so scared that they hid everywhere, some were burned to death, and some jumped into the well...
"Oh my God, what sin have we committed? You will not let us live!"
"Damn you Rakshasa devils, I'm going to fight you!"
"Give me back my father's life!"
"Erniu, Erniu, damn Erniu!"
The moon in the sky seemed unable to bear watching such a tragedy on earth, and quietly pulled the clouds over to cover its eyes.
The chaos in Tai'an, with the ringing of bells, burning, killing and looting, finally alarmed the soldiers of Tunhewei.
More than half an hour later, a thousand soldiers from the Tunhe Guard arrived. When passing by Liujia Village, a few soldiers detached themselves and ran into the village to ask, "Fellow villagers, are the ones causing trouble the Rakshasa devils? How many of them are there, and where have they gone?"
Seeing that Liujia Village had temporarily stabilized, Mr. Tai was about to take people to Sancha River. When he heard this, he quickly explained the matter clearly.
"Brothers, those are the Rakshasa devils coming! They seem to have split into several teams and are burning and killing people everywhere. Only about a hundred of them came to us, but we drove them back with our arrows. A few of them died, and the rest ran towards Sancha River! There seem to be more Rakshasa devils there, so you better be careful!"
The soldiers were terrified. Although they suspected something was wrong, they had never imagined it would be this serious. The border hadn't been lost, but so many demons had appeared in Tai'an. It was simply unimaginable!
He turned his horse around and was about to run, but the old man stopped him. "Wait a moment, brother. We have veterans in our village who just killed the Rakshasa devils with us. They're all good fighters. Let them lead you in chasing them! The sooner we eliminate these Rakshasa devils, the less harm our fellow villagers will suffer!"
He Shan just thought so, but he couldn't make a decision on his own without the old man's permission.
At this moment, he immediately called two brothers forward.
The soldiers were very happy and called the veteran to mount their horses and catch up with the main group together.
A villager asked the old man, "Sixth Uncle, should we go back to the mountain or go to Sancha River?"
Old Master Tai hesitated for a moment, but finally responded, "Let's go to Sancha River. I'm afraid a lot of people were injured just now. We can't just stand by and watch them die. No one can find us over there in the mountains, so there won't be any danger."
The villagers all thought so too. Although Sanchahe did not follow them into the mountains to hide this time, they still met each other every day. Now that they had suddenly encountered such a disaster, who would laugh at them? The right thing to do was to lend a hand!
At this time, Dahei and Dabai actually ran down from halfway up the mountain with their herd of horses.
Everyone was so surprised. They were caught off guard and no one bothered to get the horses. They didn't expect them to be so sensible.
The old man was also happy, patting Dahei's horse face and saying, "Dahei, I'm going to make you tired again! After tonight, I will definitely give you some good food to reward you!"
The big black horse sneezed and nodded in satisfaction.
The old man got on his horse and led the team to Sancha River.
When the soldiers of Tunhewei heard the noise, they thought it was the Russian devils who were surrounding them. They were relieved when they heard it was the Tai family.
Tunhewei and Tai'an County were close, and the Tai family was well known. Furthermore, the place where the Tai family went to get ice from the river for ice sculptures was right next to the Tunhewei camp.
Soon, everyone arrived at Sancha River one after another.
The misery they saw made everyone grit their teeth in hatred. The Tunhe guards continued to hunt down the Russian devils. Grandpa Tai immediately led people to help put out the fire, treat the wounded, and gather the crying children and the elderly!
An old man who was familiar with the old man had his arm chopped off. He held on for a breath, pulled at Mr. Tai's clothes, and cried tears of joy.
"Brother Tai...we were wrong. We should have followed the village chief! We...are homeless, homeless!"
Old Master Tai felt heartbroken and ached. He tore off the white cotton cloth from his inner garment, wanting to bandage his broken arm, and repeatedly advised him, "Brother, don't be sad. We are already this age, and we have seen all kinds of disasters! It's no big deal, it's no big deal! If our house burns down, we can rebuild it. If we run out of food, we can grow more! Better days are ahead..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish, the old man was already motionless, his eyes wide open, refusing to close...
Mr. Tai couldn't hold back any longer, and tears started to fall down!
The rest of the villagers were holding children covered in blood, or pulling at stupid women, all of them were gritting their teeth in hatred, almost going crazy!
"Sixth Uncle, I'm afraid this place is no longer habitable. What should we do now? Will the Rakshasa devils come back again?"
Old Master Tai wiped away his tears and said loudly, "It's impossible to put out the fire. Let's search quickly. Anyone who is alive, no matter if they are injured or not, should be taken to the houses behind our village. If the Russian devils come again, we will go up the mountain!"
"Got it, Sixth Uncle." Everyone dispersed and continued searching. When they finally gathered outside the village, only fifty-three people, young and old, were alive in the village of three hundred people!
