Whoosh whoosh!
Countless javelins flew over, buzzing like bumblebees!
Many bamboo poles pierced the backs of more than ten women, causing more than a dozen women and children to faint on the spot.
Old Xiong pulled up one of the women, who was quite attractive.
She was lucky; she wasn't injured at all.
A strong stench of feces and urine filled the air!
The pheasant said viciously, "Damn it, they're a bunch of scoundrels too, they're really vicious!!! They don't even spare children and women!"
Brother Xiong nodded: "So, I'd rather wait until I have the chance to raze the village to the ground, and after I've used the women, I'll cut off all their heads and skewer them into lamb skewers!"
"Walk!"
He spat out a thick phlegm.
He glanced at the wailing woman and child on the ground, but didn't even look at them.
Leaving behind a field of helpless people...
They screamed in agony.
Jimao and Liu Quan whispered, "They're hard! Show me how hard you're going to punch them. I really want to tear them apart like bones and shred them into pieces."
Soon after, Brother Xiong left and found bamboo in the mountains. He then gave instructions: "Ten people per group to cut bamboo and build bamboo rafts. There is a river south of the village. While they all think we have retreated, we will cut down the bamboo overnight and kill them all."
The woman was looking for a tough branch, tearing off the bark, and preparing to braid it into a rope.
I've been busy all night.
I found an opportunity.
He fled in panic, forcefully throwing the crumpled paper across the ditch.
...
The villagers went back and had a proper breakfast, but their appetites weren't very good.
I ate a few bites of steamed buns to tide me over, and then quickly went to sleep.
After all, Chen Qingshan had already notified everyone door-to-door that they might come back to rest and recuperate!
What we need to do is—
Eat your fill, sleep well, and you'll have javelins when wolves come!
Yeah, it's the kind with dipping sauce, hehe.
A group of energetic teenagers, more vigorous than dogs, were left to patrol the village.
A bronze gong was tied to the stone's waist!
He confidently pointed out to his friend to climb the tree and look out!
Dazhu and Erzhu patrolled back and forth in the village.
Before long, someone found a small piece of paper in the trench.
"Report!"
"Big Head picked up a crumpled piece of paper over there."
Handing it to the stone: "Water?"
Shi Tou realized that this was not a simple matter, so he quickly ran home to tell Chen Qingshan and Chen Gui.
Chen Xian was also among the three leaders.
Chen Gui: "Just as I thought!"
Chen Qingshan laughed and said, "No rush. There are dozens of people with at least seven or eight bamboo rafts. It won't be done in a few days!"
Chen Xian nodded: "We can arrange for Elder Dong to prepare more barbed wire, make barbed wire, and place it underwater. We'll also set up the fishing nets!"
"Oh, right, after you've made the wire, apply some rusty iron powder..."
Although he didn't understand Chen Xian's actions, Chen Qingshan nodded and went to make the arrangements.
...
Things are not looking good in the county town.
"Sir, someone in the city's clinic has developed a fever at some point!"
Su Yong immediately became alert!
"Check! And make sure everyone wears masks! Quickly recruit some temporary helpers to go door-to-door distributing passes. Only one person per household is allowed to go out to buy supplies each day! Don't go out unless absolutely necessary!"
"Isolate all the people with fevers!"
Lu Chao, who had been silent all along, also turned serious for once. Could this be related to what the Chu family was doing in secret?
...
On the fourth day.
Chen Qingshan instructed the eldest son of the Dong family to set up barbed wire on the river, with countless barbs twisted onto it, resembling balls of barbed wire.
It was coated with a brownish-yellow rust, but unfortunately, a lot of it came off when it got wet.
When Boss Dong waded through the water to install dozens of wires, he glanced hurriedly at the calm Chen Xian, looked at the wires in his hand, and trembled for no reason: This guy... is really a dog.
Fortunately... I breathed a sigh of relief. Hey, it's someone from the same village as me.
Following Chen Xian's instructions, different wires were set up at different depths in the water, one foot, two feet, three feet, etc., and the bottom was already a fishing net!
Even the river god would have to grimace and lose a layer of skin if he came.
We worked for several hours!
Chen Gui patted Boss Dong's pale shoulder with a smile: "Not bad...you lad."
Old Dong smiled helplessly, "You're joking. For the sake of this village, these are nothing..."
Chen Gui nodded: "Once we get through this period, the village will not forget everyone who helped!"
It was evening!
Chen Xian put the dozen or so ducks and geese he kept at home directly into the water.
Chen Gui, Chen Xian, and Chen Qingshan temporarily slept in a thatched hut by the riverbank.
Chen Qingshan shook his head and said, "Fusheng, it seems your ducks are about to run away..."
"It's alright for the sake of the village..."
The three of them chatted as they ate dry steamed buns.
Suddenly, some ducks started quacking.
Gaa gaa gaa!
Chen Qingshan suddenly woke up, sprinted to the shore, and lay down on the grass. "They're here!"
Then he quietly retreated and ran quickly into the village to call all the men to come out and catch the thief!
Before long, Uncle Mi slung his quiver over his shoulder, carried a bucket of kerosene in his hand, and said with a smile, "We can't just sit here in the village and eat your food all the time, can we? This time, it's up to us!"
The eyes of the forty men were burning, as if they were filled with flames!
The old lady from the village head's family also came over with the yamen runner's uniform.
"Fleeting life?"
Everyone was very confused.
Chen Xian said to ten of his followers, "Ten of you should change into the uniforms of yamen runners!"
One of the real constables, Qian Biao, was somewhat stunned.
