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 he told everyone to be on guard. Those people are ruthless and have no conscience. They don't care if we are ordinary people.
I set up many traps in our yard, near the wall, in the vegetable garden, at the door of the main hall, near the warehouse, under the windows, near the kitchen, and near the well.
There are mousetraps, rocks to hit people with, dung buckets to splash people with, sharpened bamboo strips, long bamboo poles, and nooses that will hang people if stepped on. You must be careful when going in and out. Children, it is best to play indoors 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 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 even his private money could not be saved!
Seeing how sad Li Zheng was, the old couple racked their brains to find some words to comfort him, and then they bravely explained their purpose:
"Lord Li said that there might be another wave of assassins entering the village. It's very dangerous when they fight. He asked everyone to watch the doorways and be cautious. Don't go out to watch the excitement, or you'll end up dying 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: "What we say about this matter doesn't count..."
Li Zheng Wang wanted to ask Li Gan and the others to leave Beiguan Village, but he didn't dare. He knew Li Gan was an official, but he didn't know how high his rank was. However, judging from the attitude of Doctor Wang, he could tell that this Lord Li was probably a high-ranking official.
Alas! What a miserable life!
Li Zheng Wang looked at Mr. Xia, who looked 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 report the news, and at the same time asked his other sons to quickly inform every household in the village.
The whole village became nervous.
Most of the people's houses hadn't been repaired yet. Many families had to urgently dig underground cellars to live in, so how could they really guard their doors?
However, if an assassin were to come, 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 definitely not be prepared by then.
However, perhaps because the assassins couldn't help but think about it, 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 through the crack. She saw two groups of people in black clothes fighting with swords flashing and sabers flying. However, 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. The light was very dim, and it was difficult to see which side of the fight was on our side.
Xia Daohua thought about it, closed the window, quietly entered the space, 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 could not hit her, it was still quite oppressive.
It turns out that neither group of people is the same.
One group wore tight-fitting Hu people's clothes, while the other group also wore tight-fitting 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 on 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 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 was more familiar with it, it took Xia Daohua less than a quarter of an hour to recruit fourteen people, and she even put blindfolds, hoods, and handcuffs on 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 cut 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, and they quietly opened the windows. They saw a group of sturdy strangers fighting with knives outside, and 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, did he escape?
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 and scanned around, and found that there were a group of people lurking on the surrounding rooftops.
Xia Daohua manipulated the space and took a closer look. She found that the people lurking on the roof happened to be Li Gan's subordinates, the Jinyi Yunqi. She immediately felt more relieved.
However, did they notice that I just took the person away?
Well, the sky was so dark, there were so many dark clouds, and my movements didn't make any noise. They were also focused on the two groups fighting fiercely, so they probably didn't notice.
At most, we’ll find out the number of people is wrong later…
