Yang Dahe rushed to the dormitory room next door and slammed the door, waking up everyone inside.
Someone opened the door, cursing, "What are you making noise for so late at night?"
Yang Dahe ignored the other party's attitude, and said in a serious and rapid voice: "There is a group of people in the city who are burning, killing and looting, and they will rush over here soon."
"What are you talking about? How could this happen?" The man didn't believe it.
The other person who followed him out looked up at the sky above the south and west of the city. The fire that appeared above and the faint sounds he heard made him feel nervous and his face gradually became filled with fear.
"H-He's telling the truth."
The cursing man turned around and looked up in the direction the other person was pointing. When he looked up, his souls and spirits flew away.
"Grass!"
Yang Dahe ignored them and went to the next room.
At the same time, Su Yin found the shop owner's house, which was in the backyard.
She simply climbed over the wall and knocked on the door of the main house.
The lights in the house came on.
"who?"
"Boss, something big happened in the city, come out quickly."
The owner of the foot shop recognized Su Yin's voice, put on his clothes in a hurry, and looked at the person who suddenly appeared with a vigilant look. Soon he found that there was a commotion in the front yard.
"Shopkeeper, look over there."
Su Yin pointed in the direction of the south and west of the city. The fires on both sides were getting brighter and brighter, showing the tragedy over there and affecting more and more people.
The owner of the foot shop was a man of insight. Looking at the illuminated sky over there, he felt heavy in his heart.
"For some reason, a group of people appeared in the city, burning, killing and looting. They are in the south and west of the city now, but it won't be long before they spread to the east and north of the city. We have to make plans early."
The panic-stricken foot shop owner noticed Su Yin's calmness.
At such a young age, he can remain so calm even at a time like this, which shows that he has the potential to achieve great things.
He doesn't have any special skills, but he is very good at judging people.
"Girl, what are you going to do?"
"Gather all the people in the store together and fight together, only then will there be a glimmer of hope."
"OK."
"I need you to provide some items to resist those bandits."
"OK."
"Boss, quickly gather all the employees and meet them in the front yard."
"good."
This time, Su Yin walked out of the front door into the backyard.
Oil lamps were lit in the inn, and everyone gathered in the open space in the front yard, with fear and anxiety on everyone's face.
As soon as Butcher Yang saw Su Yin, he seemed to have found his backbone and subconsciously asked, "Su girl, what should we do now?"
Before Su Yin could speak, Old Lady Zhang howled, "Oh, what a sin! We spent all this money to come into the city, and now we have become sheep to be slaughtered. If we were outside the city, we wouldn't have encountered such a thing. What should we do now?"
Old lady Zhang’s howling made Yang Dashan’s face turn ugly.
Yang Shuixian noticed her father's expression and hurried forward to hold her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, now is not the time to cry. Stop talking and listen to what my cousin has to say first."
"What can she, a little girl, say?" Old Mrs. Zhang said with an unhappy look on her face.
Old man Zhang noticed the expressions of the people in Xinghua Village and immediately scolded his wife, "Shut up! It's already late, why are you yelling nonsense? Listen to what girl Su has to say first. Girl Su has many ideas, and she might be able to come up with a good solution. Don't make trouble here."
"Mom, just be quiet for a while." Zhang Liangtian followed and advised.
Even though Old Mrs. Zhang was unwilling, she stopped making trouble.
Su Yin finally had the chance to speak, "Now our only solution is to unite everyone and resist the robbery of the bandits together. As long as we keep the store, our property and people will be protected."
One of the passengers asked, "Can we, with just the people we are, resist those vicious bandits?"
Another person spoke up, "It would be better to find a place to hide before those bandits get here."
Butcher Yang opened his mouth to refute the man.
"Hide? Where are you going to hide? When those people come, they will definitely search for you. Once they find you, you will be dead. It's better to resist them like Su Yatou said."
The hot-tempered traveler said, "Why don't we take this opportunity to open the city gate and escape?"
This proposal was agreed by many people and many people were interested.
Su Yin's words successfully shattered their unrealistic fantasies.
"You are dreaming. This group of bandits, who were able to sneak into the city without making any noise, are definitely not reckless people. Such an important place as the city gate must be guarded by someone. How could they let you escape so easily?"
"If that's the case, then their efforts would have been in vain. If you leave the city now, you'll be walking into a trap."
This statement dispelled the thoughts of many people, but there were still some people who refused to believe it, or did not believe what Su Yin said.
Of course this is normal.
They had never met Su Yin, and seeing that she was only a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, it was natural that what she said would not be very convincing.
"These are all your guesses. You have to stay and resist the bandits. I am leaving." The speaker was a young man who looked like a student.
The hot-tempered tourist followed closely behind, "Humph, I won't play this kind of house game with you either."
Next, tourists left the shops one after another and prepared to escape the city.
Yang Dashu wanted to stop them, but these people didn't listen and instead made a few sarcastic remarks.
"Dashu, don't bother with them. If they want to leave, let them go." Yang Dachuan said.
Some of the passengers left, but some, including women and children, stayed.
Su Yin looked at everyone who stayed behind. "It's very chaotic outside now. You don't know when you will encounter bandits. These vicious people will never let anyone go easily. We are in the east of the city, and in a foot shop."
"The bandits are here for money. The foot shop is not their main target. Places like inns and brothels are their targets. There won't be too many people coming to our place. So as long as we hold them off, we can all survive and protect our property."
These words gave the anxious crowd a little more confidence.
"Whether we can resist the bandits from now on depends on whether we can work together."
The owner of the foot shop was the first to speak out, "Girl, we will cooperate with whatever you want us to do, without any hesitation."
"Yes, that's what you say. We will listen to you." Butcher Yang echoed.
"Tell me what we should do."
Su Yin looked at the owner of the foot shop, "Boss, is there much oil in the shop?"
"There is a large jar that was purchased recently."
“Do you have soybeans?”
"have."
Su Yin listed out what she needed, and most stores had them.
Su Yin began to give orders, "You guys, block the front and back doors with anything you can find in the store. You guys, put all the oil into small bamboo tubes..."
